Stay Forever

Stay Forever is a dynamic duo made up of Gunnar Lott and Christian Schmidt, along with Fabian Käufer, who were once gaming journalists. They have now dedicated themselves to creating the Stay Forever podcast, which takes listeners on an archaeological expedition through the history of video games. With over 100 episodes and a plethora of special editions, each installment is a labor of love that meticulously examines, criticizes, and celebrates old games or game series. Gunnar, Christian, and Fabian bring their own experiences, intensive research, and unique perspectives as industry reporters to every conversation. But Stay Forever is more than just a podcast; it has evolved into a thriving operation with a dedicated headquarters, five podcasters, and a team of professionals providing support behind the scenes. By becoming a patron, you can help them reach their goal of creating even more high-quality content for everyone. In addition to the regular podcast episodes, patrons receive exclusive bonus content such as audio Let's Plays, retrospective reviews of early works with accompanying PDFs, collaborative formats with other creators, and much more. The Stay Forever team ensures that their supporters receive 4-6 extra episodes per month in addition to the open ones. With your generosity through Patreon or Steady (for those who prefer bank transfers), you not only gain access to this fantastic material but also have the opportunity to receive physical rewards delivered right to your doorstep. Don't worry if English isn't your native language; Stay Forever has made sure that Patreon is accessible for German customers as well. The mysterious VAT (Value Added Tax) mentioned during the pledge process is simply the German sales tax that Patreon collects directly while converting dollars into euros for payment. So if you're looking to contribute just $1 as a supporter, you'll pay approximately €1.06 (1.00 dollar plus 19% tax multiplied by the exchange rate). To summarize: your pledge is your monthly donation, and in return, you'll receive rewards tailored to your level of support. Stay Forever is made possible by patrons like you, who are passionate about creators who produce interesting and engaging content, be it works of art, videos, texts, or podcasts. Join the Stay Forever community today and embark on a fascinating journey into the world of retro games!
