How do the guys at Giantbomb get paid?

I've always wondered how exactly Giantbomb gets paid to do what they do? I really doubt they have day jobs when even I a person who works only 1 day a week can barely keep up with all the gaming news that comes out everyday.

they couldn't have legitimately gotten into E3 if they didn't.

How do other gaming sites stay in business?

They sell old Colecovisions on eBay. Huge profit.

After you download 100 of their Bombcasts the Giant Bomb virus kicks in and you have to send them $10,000 US or your computer blows up destroying your house and killing your family.

I would actually like to know also since this site isn't Ad-supported.

advertising i believe, their is a link at the bottom that talks about it

They plan to implement advertising in the future, probably as the site gets more and more popular.

How many times does this question need to be asked?

While the four guys at Giant Bomb probably have decent salaries coming in at the $50,000 - $70,000 yearly range (Drew's considered an intern so I'm guessing that he's not well paid), I'm willing to bet that the site itself is running at a fairly large loss at this point.  I wouldn't worry about it currently. Giant Bomb is financed by Whiskey Media, and Whiskey Media is headed up by Shelby Bonnie, one of the original founders of C-Net.  The dude's a billionaire.

Not another one of these topics...

I've wondered about this for a long time as well...

Selling meth to hookers. 

They also get payed from their TV show.

There are lots of topics on this around, here's the latest one I'd suggest checking out since there's a staff member that replied in it. Going to lock this thread so just post in the other one if you still have questions.
