Wow some of you are dramatic! Popped in to see when the allies start their EA stream and see people act as if Kyle left the show. Lmao!!!! It's awesome that he gets to work e3 ! Let these guys branch out as much as possible. Easy Allies makes them some amount of money but c'mon now, if an opportunity arises you better expect them to take it. E3 is such a joyous occasion don't dampen it with doom and gloom! Bring on EA!!!!!

It doesn't have to benefit EZA or patrons. Why should it have to benefit EZA or patrons? Kyle is not contractually obligated by Patreon to be there for every conference, nor is he restricted from doing a side job that he has been doing since he started EZA. Heck, Don won't be there for any conference - how is THAT benefiting EZA? Is Don a diva, too?
I honestly don't get the outcry about this in the first place. Yeah I love Kyle, and him not being there for all the conferences is a bummer, but I'm used to not every ally being at every conference, and he will be at 5 out of 8.
I don't know about you guys, but I'm actually interested in EA's conference this year: more of Anthem, perhaps a new Star Wars? Nice little conference to whet the appetite.
While disappointing, I can understand that Kyle wants to work on a professional production set during E3. Even with his constant self-doubts, he knows his worth (same reason Final Bosman isn't on EZA but Dear Bosman was on Gameslice) and working with Geoff is way more beneficial to his CV than hanging out in the garage.
I'm one of those people who really enjoyed Unravel. Good vibes. So I'm looking forward to seeing the sequel.
Woooooooowww at these reactions.
Any time an Ally is able to bring exposure to the company is a good thing. As fans, you should all be happy that Kyles getting out there to bring attention to EZA, even if tangentially.
I want to see them in a studio, I want to see them grow bigger. But that won't happen if you want to keep EZA all to yourselves and discourage any exposure.
Good for Kyle.

Fe was announced between those two games :p We already know about Unravel 2 but I hope they have more EA Originals than just that.
Otherwise, I think Andrea Rene will do her best hosting it but meh. Even if I was a Skate fan, this is the same company that brought us Mirror's Edge Catalyst, Dead Space 3, Burnout Crash! and Mass Effect Andromeda. They're the monkey paw publisher. And while every other publisher has moved on and modernised their conferences, EA is still stuck with 10 minute talking segments, lame celebrity appearances and, for some dumb reason, office tours. EA is such a downer way to start E3.
I don't want to get back into it because I'm over it but it sounds like he's mostly working behind the scenes.
This isn't what he's doing at all. I'm sure people would be a lot more forgiving if "Kyle Bosman from EZA" was co hosting with Geoff or something. I know I would.
Watching the podcast. Damn Sony could have best line up in a E3 conference of all time. Spiderman, Ghost of Tsushima, Death Stranding, The Last of Us II, Devil May Cry V, RE 2 Remake, RDR 2, Shadows Die Twice. What a potential line up Jesus Christ.
Even if tangentially. Someone catches Kyle, thinks he's funny, looks him up. Easy Allies.
If it is behind the scenes stuff... Oh well, the guy is trying to network. Can't poo on him for that.
I'll chime in with my perspective. Kinda bummed mainly about Kyle not being there for Nintendo but he can't let big opportunities for himself go like that. So yeah it's understandable.
As for EA, there's a part of me that thinks "It HAS to be better than last year" and another that says "Did you watch the Battlefield reveal?"
... So my expectations are as high as they will ever be for EA

Some people are being way too dramatic though yes, it is disappointing that he won't be there for Nintendo and won't be on the floor getting impressions.
But if he's on the actual streams, I really hope they allow him to be introduced as "Kyle Bosman from Easy Allies." It's the right thing to do.
Edit: Also, it should be noted, just in case Kyle and the boys see the disappointment or harsher complaints: it's because we love what Kyle brings to the streams. Each Ally brings something unique.

It's a real shame to lose Bosman for 3 conferences - especially as he's such an able moderator - but no Ally should begrudge Kyle his opportunities to work with Geoff. I imagine that having restricted time on the showfloor is a sacrifice that Kyle feels keenly.
Whats with all these reactions? Hes literally done this every E3 since they started EZA? He even bows out on purpose sometimes to let the other allies shine.
I wonder who did the graphics for them this time. It looks great.Damn, just tuned into the stream. This looks so great. Really professional.
edit: totally forgot there's an EZA@E3 thread.
From chat Handle IcantPotato
" Thanks! It was myself (Motion Graphics & Compositing), Joe David Ellis (Design), and Stuart Pomeroy (Programming) who made these graphics."
Thank you! I turned Chad off for reasons.
I hope they got paid an illegal amount of money because they deserve it. It elevates the stream to a whole new level. Can't wait to see what the rest of the production is going to look like.
Couldn't agree more. They've learned from the mistake of last year when Jones was almost completely absent from the conferences but missing a few is more than OK when the opportunity is as good as working with Geoff. That connection is invaluable for Kyle personally and the Allies in general so I'm glad they're maintaining those relationships.
Oy. This is completely incorrect. There's never been an E3 with EZA where Kyle missed out completely on giving game impressions. He's worked with Keighley on the Game Awards and that Live show on Youtube in the past, but not at this capacity around E3. He and others have appeared on other outlets for interviews and whatnot which is completely different then being absent from the show floor completely because you are working on behind the scenes stuff with another outlet. I honestly don't mind Kyle missing out on a few conferences (although Nintendo would be the #1 I'd like to see him at) as there are plenty of other great Allies, it's mostly the "meat" of E3 that I'll miss out on him such as game impressions, shooting the shit on the stream on Monday between conferences and just contributing to the "vibes" of them all going through the insanity of E3 together. Like I said earlier, this isn't a major issue, but EZA at E3 should be the ultimate for the group. I mean, look how absurdly professional their pre-pre-show for EA is right now! And they have an insane 4k plus in their room just watching a clock tick down.
This is going to be big for them and I'm absolutely thrilled things seem to be in place to capitalize on it.
Kyle and Geoff go way back and he's like a huge guy when it comes to these opportunities now and in the future. Totally get why Kyle would take this gig. Bummer for us but he's got a career outside of EZA to consider and we gotta respect that.
We still have Ben, Brad, HUBER, Ian, Damiani, Blood etc etc etc there's no shortage of hype.

Yeah lol. Reads like some overly attached girlfriend meme.
Wow these reactions. Kyle has a long standing professional relationship with Geoff...I thought it was pretty obvious he'd be doing stuff with him and might not be around. Dude's gotta hustle, and I don't think he really owed anyone an explanation or notice. I'm happy he has the opportunity to work with other people in the industry, and I'm sure EZA's coverage will be great both when he is and is not there.
Bit late to reply, but does that mean every ally sbpuld be on every podcast then, as that's what we pay for?
He was working for Keighley last year as well and missed stuff.
The patreon doesn't pay them all a living wage, and big events are going to be when people can make more money.
There's enough allies to cover any missing people.
Alternatively buy out/ get bought by Keighley. Turn into a super channel. All the connections, all the videos and all the back door shady deals.
I wish Ian were producing the shows this week.
He knows how to jazz it up.
Why? They're not even switching. It would be the same.
I wouldn't want to watch an EA conference with anyone else.
Huber's really torn up about the lack of PvP in Anthem...

I missed it! People told me and when I went to the stream it was gone
Hearing no pvp is a plus for me. This games seems like it's going to be the game that I wanted destiny to be. Too bad I'm not a big third person guy. Kinda crazy that I'm going to be choosing between days gone on my ps4 pro or anthem on my X. Its gonna be a tough decision.
There were long periods of Ben talking during the post show it wasn't on. It came on for a sec there but then inexplicably it's right back off. Either keep the small cam on all the time or switch to full screen salad cam when Ben is talking.
Really hope they have a patreon pitch video to play in between conferences in the coming days. Seriously, promote your shit guys. I checked out KF stream just to see their setup (which was very nice) and Greg was in full sales pitch mode for KF. Not a single sentence about their stuff on EZA.
Edit: Don't think the world Patreon was uttered a single time that whole stream. Baffling.

Sorry, that came off harsher towards Damiani than I meant it. He's doing a fine job by all means. :)
I guess I was expecting a better presentation this year. I mean outside of graphics, it still largely looks the same which is fine I guess.
Not a huge deal because I still get to see and hear the Allies which is the whole point. :)
