Announcing VGC’s big Patreon Christmas Drive: More memberships = more rewards!
Join VGC this December and help us fund new content
Starting today, VGC is kicking off a Patreon Christmas pledge drive to expand our festive content more than ever, and offer plenty of fun bonuses for our community.
By contributing to Patreon.com/VideoGamesChronicle, the VGC community will fund and unlock some of our most-requested future videos, shows, and more.
Here’s how it works: in December, each new, gifted, or upgraded membership will contribute points to an overall total.
As the total grows, we’ll reveal stretch goals, including deep dives into the magazine archives, appearances by some friends of the site, commentary tracks for classic video game movies, and more. If we’re able to reach our highest goal, we’ll announce our plans for a special celebration of the site and the VGC Podcast.
Content unlocked throughout this drive will be posted during December and early January, ensuring your festive break is absolutely full of VGC.
Read on for the full details, and thanks for supporting independent games media!
Update
In just a few hours, the VGC community has already smashed through our initial fundraising goal, and our entire initial list of stretch goals has been unlocked!
That includes our confirmation that in 2026, VGC will hold its first-ever live show from Glasgow, Scotland. Details to come in early 2026!
We’ve added lofty super stretch goals for those who wish to continue supporting us throughout the month – and there are some VERY good ones to come! (We’d also love to hear on our Discord what you’d like to see next).
Thank you for your continued support,
Andy, Chris, and Jordan
