Greg Miller, Colin Moriarty, Nick Scarpino and Tim Gettys leave IGN and launch Kinda Funny on January 4, 2015 in San Francisco, funded first by a Patreon that reaches about 35,000 dollars a month within weeks, then YouTube ads, sponsors and merchandise. It joins Rooster Teeth's Let's Play network in March 2016; Moriarty resigns in March 2017 and the company continues with daily shows and its own games awards through 2025.
Open questions: The figure of about 35,000 dollars a month on Patreon within weeks of launch is not confirmed in a retrieved source; Polygon and GamesIndustry.biz confirm only that the January 2015 launch was Patreon funded.
