I'm sure it would have still made plenty of sales, between H3 fans and people who like to have all the DLC, but I'm sure there were people who were on the fence about buying it who bought it because they thought the money was going to a good cause. Furthermore, I am curious how many people wouldn't have bought the DLC if they had known the money wasn't going to this charity. With that being said, I wouldn't care if the money was meant to go straight to Ethan from the get-go, it just seems strange to me that so many people were under the impression that this money was going to FUPA. Whether "hundreds of thousands" is an exaggeration to make Keemstar's accusations look worse as to paint Keemstar in a worse light or that's genuinely how much money the DLC actually made, we'll probably never know. I believe Ethan said in the Keemstar video that Keemstar was accusing him of stealing "hundreds of thousands of dollars," so it's safe to say the DLC made some pretty solid money. There's lessons to be learned there with the whole disaster. They just did what they had to do to line their pockets and then left, ignoring that the game and company even exists beyond the checks coming in. The salt in the wound must be H3's bare minimum effort in the DLC. Not that money going into a bottomless pit of mystery "charity" isn't bad enough. Endless money going to a cause that doesn't exist, never seems to declare any results from the donations and ironically the hosts of it act completely counter to its supposed mission too now, it seems. That's why it can't be bundled with the rest of the game like the other old DLC was. They money from the sales of the DLC still goes to them even now for some reason. People's money just goes into a black pit as far as I know. It's never been said by Overkill how much money has been raised and where it went. Originally posted by Hoxilicious:AFAIK the money just vanished as the cause for it died before it even got rolling. But ever since this whole debacle came about, I've hard a hard time supporting Ethan, either. How is it that such a large group of people remember this money going to FUPA? Was it all just a rumor? Did this money ever go to FUPA? I know it is catatonic now, but when the charity was still active, did money actually go to it? Or was it always intended to go to H3H3 directly? And how many people bought this DLC thinking they were supporting FUPA? And just a disclaimer, no, I do not support Keemstar. I'm just a little curious about how this whole scenario played out. Here are the links to several threads that made mention of this money going to FUPA. As it turns out, many other people were also under the impression that this money would be going to FUPA. I thought maybe I was the only one who remembered it this way at first.I saw no evidence that this money would be going to FUPA on the DLC page or the announcement, but then I decided to check the forums. As of yesterday, however, it was revealed in H3H3's Keemstar video that H3H3 kept the money for themselves, and they even called up Almir to confirm it. Somehow, me and many other people got it into their heads that this money was going to be going to Ethan's charity, FUPA, which was designed to help content creators in similar situations as H3H3. But that's where things get a bit blurry. It was decided that all of this money would still benefit H3H3. Ethan and Hila won the lawsuit before the DLC even came out, yet the DLC was still coming out. He was standing up for copyright all over the internet, after all. With that being said, I could respect that they wanted to help the poor guy out financially. While I was also a big fan of H3H3 at the time, I can't say I supported his inclusion into the game. But H3H3 got themselves sued, and Almir was a big fan, so they wanted to support him. It started as an April Fool's joke, and it really should have stayed that way. Having been with the game for so long, however, I witnessed the birth of the H3H3 DLC. I stuck with it when the goings got rough, and I consider this to be one of my favorite videogames of all time. Needless to say, I have been a loyal fan. I have been playing this game since 2015-2016.
