It’s been a while since our last Editorial, right? Well here is a new one, dedicated to our new Patreon Funding campaign. The reason why we launched a Patreon campaign for DSOGaming is simple: we want to completely remove all of our ads. Yeap, you read that right. If things go well, DSOGaming will be an ads-free PC gaming website.
All we ask is your support in order to accomplish something like that. As we noted in our Patreon campaign:
Currently there are four monthly funding tiers:
Once we reach $400, we will completely remove our Interstitial Ad. This is something that annoyed a lot of our fans, and it’s something we want to get rid as soon as possible.
Then, if we reach $1000, we will remove two of our four ad networks. Among other things – like not having to contact ad networks for audio ads or redirects – this will make our website faster.
Once we reach $2000 we will remove all of our ad networks except of Google Adsense.
Finally, once we reach $3000, we will remove all of our ads and DSOGaming will be ads-free.
Anything higher than that will be used to purchase new equipment so we can bring you more benchmarks and PC Hardware Reviews.
Like most of you, we’d love to have an ads-free website. And that’s our ultimate goal. However, we need your support in order to make this come to fruition.
DSOGaming WILL remain a gaming website focused on PC games. This won’t change. Do not expect us to cover console games.
Those interested can support us by visiting our Patreon page.
John is the founder and Editor in Chief at DSOGaming. He is a PC gaming fan and highly supports the modding and indie communities. Before creating DSOGaming, John worked on numerous gaming websites. While he is a die-hard PC gamer, his gaming roots can be found on consoles. John loved – and still does – the 16-bit consoles, and considers SNES to be one of the best consoles. Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2. John has also written a higher degree thesis on the “The Evolution of PC graphics cards.”

I’d just rather give you 1-2 dollars a month and keep the ads for increased income
Great move guys.
What ads? I see no ads on DSOGaming, guess I am just lucky.
the same. Don’t have any ads on site
You use AddBlock.
Your captain obvious =)
Way to be an a**hole and take pride in using something without supporting it
Still I think is worthy to support John work, am I right?
Great news!
It is quite unbearable to navigate here without blocking the ads, which makes hard for you guys to “survive”. Since I’m here everyday, I feel that is almost like my duty to contribute with something ASAP.
Long live DSOG!
We do have a lot of ads friend but it’s because we don’t accept the more lucrative ads from video game pubs.
I didn’t even know that they offered ads “like that”, I mean DSOG is relatively a small site, but good to know how some publisher acts. 😉
publish something damn it. 🙂
Guys you really, i mean really need to show your support for DSOGaming.
Keep ad’s I use your site with adblock on my desktop but on my tablet I don’t mainly cause its hard to do but anyways your site isn’t that bad if anything just get rid of the ad you get when you first come to the site
scamstarter has come to dsogaming
its a shame, this is the only decent pc gaming news site :/
Huh?
Don’t be an idiot.
this makes no sense what do you mean anyways?
HEY! Why would patreon decrease the quality of our content? It will make us even more beholden to our readers…..
This doesn’t make sense pal.
For the first time I disabled add block on this page. Once you get past the first page it aint so bad.
Don’t forget to add a link or button to your Patreon at the top of the page so more people see it! Glad you’ve decided to do this, anything to make DSOG as awesome as it can be.
Yeap, we’ve added buttons to our Patreon page on both of our columns
honestly that is alot of money just to remove ads. I think you should invest on getting more coverage and new things for patreon rewards that “remove ads”
Adblock FTW!
Put more adds then! lmao!
Why even use patreon instead of just taking direct donations? You could accept more payment methods that way too. I’m not going to sign up to patreon, sorry.
This isnt about Adblock or ads, is about keeping indepent one of the best PC gaming sites, or maybe we prefer those “PC Gamer” articles about how the new COD game is the best thing invented since the wheel(guess they got paid for that), or those clickbait titles they use often.
