Where did the money from the H3H3 DLC go?
OVK said it would all go to H3H3's lawsuit fund but they won the lawsuit BEFORE THE DLC

Where's our money, OVERKILL?

Deals are made, in this case I'm betting they did the voice ♥♥♥♥ for free, and requested a cut of the DLC as payment. What people need to realize is, any guest character added to a game, those people are paid before they even get into the studio to record. This is all subject to contractual set ups. Money is also paid to the IP holder for the character the actor voices where applicable.

I don't get why people are confused about this. H3 decided to take royalties from the amount of DLC purchases. It's not uncommon for this to be done this way.

The devs of the game wanted to support them, so they did. End of story. Where the money went, in Ethan and Hila's pockets to be spent how they pleased. I don't understand why people care. You bought the DLC? Great, you have two characters to use. NOW MOVE ALONG and stop asking dumb questions.

It was supposed to go to H3H3 regardless, so it was probably all squandered on Balldos and meth.

Going into the pockets of H3. Probably going to get put into their new Lawsuit where Ethan openly admitted to pirating the Jake Paul boxing match.

We are talking about lawsuit against H3H3 which was about pirating fighting videos?
Streaky May 17, 2021 @ 3:27pm 
They got into a new lawsuit like a week ago.

Overkill said the revenue was just going directly to H3H3 in that stream, not their fund. Even on the store page for the dlc it just mentions their names: "All Starbreeze proceeds will go to Ethan and Hila, as announced during Starstream earlier this year."

Everything starbreeze has said that stream and in the steam store page seem to imply it is totally up to the discretion of H3H3 on how that money is spent. Nothing was mentioned in the steam page marketing that implied the dlc directly funded their FUPA fund. If H3H3 said something on the other hand, I would have absolutely no clue about it as I don't follow them.

I honestly thought this point was addressed already in an earlier thread so I'll look for that.
EDIT:

Found the post I made with a link to almir quite literally saying it's a gift and Ethan quite literally saying people can buy the dlc to support them. I didn't rewatch the entire clip but I believe when they mentioned the cuts they said absolutely nothing about the fund.

But if we use our money to buy DLC then it’s no longer ours is it?

why is this question being asked STILL? I don't understand this at all. Why is this any different from any DLC purchased? Why does no one ask where the DLC money from "X" other game goes toward?

Deals are made, in this case I'm betting they did the voice ♥♥♥♥ for free, and requested a cut of the DLC as payment. What people need to realize is, any guest character added to a game, those people are paid before they even get into the studio to record. This is all subject to contractual set ups. Money is also paid to the IP holder for the character the actor voices where applicable.

I don't get why people are confused about this. H3 decided to take royalties from the amount of DLC purchases. It's not uncommon for this to be done this way.

Some people don't understand immediately, your explanation helps.
except for the dumb questions part, that is natural human behavior.
Even I didn't what ya'll were talking about.
To be quite honest, given the answer to this question is already posted here, in that it went to H3H3 and thats it? I think it's fine to lock this, as there's nothing really to discuss.
