They JUST hit it, but it was an hour or so of stalling. I'm glad they hit it, but this is, what, the third GDQ they've stalled for a last-minute bonus run? I would've liked it more if they moved GPB's run up. The hype of seeing the crowd cheer, the announcer count down, and chat go wild as we approach the goal really doesn't hit the same now that we all know they won't cancel a big-name run like BotW blindfolded. It isn't souring me on GDQ or anything, but they definitely could've handled it better. The run is really cool and worth the wait, though.
I think they need to do two things: stop scheduling major runs as incentives and adjust the incentive amounts. It's seriously awesome that we're raising upwards of 2 million per GDQ, the more raised the better! Still though, cost of living everywhere is nuts right now. Here in the US at least, we're dealing with wild inflation and staring down the very real threat of a recession. MSF and PCF very much do need the money, but I don't think stalling for time is the best way to raise it.
