Explain to me the costs.

For all we know, some top people running this are getting paid 100,000 dollars for no reason.

A cut of the donations do go to GDQ you dink

the sponsors (you know, the reason they won't let you make fun of owen wilson) pay for a lot of the stuff in the OP

They're not going to release valid numbers to the general public you moron.
Don't ever donate to a GDQ and donate directly to whatever charity you think deserves it.

>charity

If you wanna help people, spend the money directly and fucking help someone. Instead of draining your money uselessly into an endless cycle of heloping the poor and the sick instead of solving their underlying problems.

I gave a homeless guy a fiver and I watched him go into the liquor store
Never donated to anyone or anything since

The event is funded by the sponsors. Donations go directly to the charity. All of this information is on the website.

What did you expect him to do with it?

>Obviously they get a cut of donations
They don't. PCF & MSF pay the venue fees / wages for their respective GDQs. Volunteers aren't paid. Equipment is purchased with GDQ's money. GDQ makes that money off of sponsors and attendees (registration fees are high).

>Fly all the speedrunners in
lmao. The only time they've compensated runners is the year that they fucked up so hard that they waived their registration fees.

>They don't
???

>>383747464
Technically they do, in the sense that the donations go to PCF and they receive their funding from PCF's overhead, but that overhead is likely from other sources. Fundraisers, etc.The money they get from PCF is based on how much they raise.

I mean, the event is operated for profit as well as charity. But it isn't a fucking scam. PCF might as well be though.

>>383745083
The organisers themselves get paid by the charity to run the event. They can also get a bonus if they reach x amount. So whether or not you they "get a cut of the donations" depends on how you look at it.

Charities as a rule are scams that you don't give your money to, unless you really want to fund their next Christmas ball at the Ritz.

>>383747678

It is basically just law-dodging semantics. "We don't take any money from the donations, we give all the money to the PCF. And then the PCF pays us a commission from THEIR money, which is then replaced by the money we sent them."

Except this part is purely assumption on your part
