Got a game you absolutely need to see me play? A terrifying horror gem, a nostalgic classic, or something you just know I'm going to hilariously struggle with? Sponsor a Stream lets you bump it to the front of the line and take over one of my variety days.
There's a simple, community-first way we do this so it's a win for everyone. Here's the whole thing, start to finish.
Developer or publisher? If you're looking at a commercial campaign with promo rights, assets, and partnership terms, I'd love to hear about your project. That's handled over on my Work With Me page.
Work With Me →I've gotten an overwhelming number of incredible game recommendations, gifted games, and developer review requests. Between diving into major new releases, playing games I've personally been looking forward to, and keeping up with the regular stream schedule, there honestly just isn't enough time in the week to get to them all.
A massive thank you to everyone who has generously gifted games. They're always deeply appreciated and go straight into the community backlog. But because the schedule stays packed, it can take a while to reach them naturally. Please don't gift a game expecting it to be played right away.
That said, if there's a game you can't wait for, Sponsor a Stream is the fast lane. For a $100 team donation, you bump a game to the absolute front of the line and hijack one of my Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday variety days.
Three steps, and step one is the important one. Please don't skip it.
Do not send any funds yet. To make sure I can actually play your game and to lock in a date, you have to pitch it to me first. Two ways to do that:
Before you pitch, take a peek at my Steam library to see if I already own it.
If I have it: awesome, we're halfway there. If I don't: you'll provide a game key for the title along with your sponsorship.
I stick to official storefronts to keep the PC safe. Steam is primary. If a game isn't on Steam, I'll also take keys for:
Once we've agreed on the game and a Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday date, head to my Pally.gg page at pally.gg/p/nrvaleck to drop the $100 sponsorship, email over the game key and platform details if one's needed, and the stream is yours.
To keep the vibes right and make sure everyone gets a fair shot, here are the ground rules for sponsored streams.
Your sponsored date has to land within 30 days of your pitch. It keeps the schedule fresh and manageable, so I can't book streams several months out.
A sponsorship secures one full 4-hour stream block for your game. If we hit the credits early, we'll swap to something else and hang out for the rest of the stream.
If it's a massive RPG and the 4 hours run out, that wraps the sponsorship. I won't automatically continue the next day unless a new stream is sponsored. For bigger games we can talk about a multi-day sponsorship.
If you sponsor a heavy, story-driven game, I want to give it the respect it deserves. Depending on the vibe, I reserve the right to turn stream redemptions like Tangia, Blerps, and Bean Boozleds on or off, so we don't wreck a cinematic moment with a random fart noise.
One active sponsorship at a time, so everyone gets a fair chance to participate. Once your sponsored stream has wrapped, you're completely free to sponsor another.
We keep it Spicy Wholesome. No NSFW games, no highly divisive topics, no overly sexualized content. I reserve the right to veto anything that breaks our community guidelines, violates platform TOS, doesn't fit the brand, or falls well outside our usual genres.
I can also decline new sponsorships for any reason: heading out on vacation, preventing burnout, or just protecting the schedule.
As the stream grows and the schedule shifts, Sponsor a Stream may change, be modified, or be discontinued at any time. If that happens, it won't affect a sponsorship already locked in.
Pitch it first through Discord or email. Once we lock a date, it's your stream.
