And he'll probably steal the money...with his eyes closed. Go worship your troll god.
The donations are collected by a privately owned and funded Canadian company, Even if he wanted to take the money he couldn't. Keep it coming.
Every dollar of his YouTube earnings goes straight to him.
Keep it coming.
His charitable works are good. But that money isn't coming out of his pocket. People are donating it, and DC Entertainment matches the donation amounts.
Athene is simply doing a poor knockoff of the Pure Pwnage series. He's a character, and all you sycophants are just lining his pockets with YouTube money every time you repost one of his videos.
It doesnt actually works the way "each view of movie = $$"....
Or course it doesn't. The more eyeballs on your videos, the more revenue you generate. The more subscribers you have, the higher your payout rates are. (Generally.)
His YouTube channel has 600k subscribers, and 334M video views. He's probably made well over $300k USD by acting like a shitbag on the internet.

he gave 3500$ of his own money to an event to raise money for them kidz. It was the prize for the speed HC DS run 4 guilds ran. But keep on flaming its what we love.
Good for him.
Prizes like that are great tax decductions if you have a good accountant.
Honestly, his schtick was funny 4 years ago when Pure Pwnage did it WITHOUT making the character an arrogant douche. But hey, if that's what you like.
I know he's supposed to be a 'character' and all, playing the part of a quirky persona, but that doesn't change the fact that he's annoying. I've never been a fan of Athene. I know that these days the more snarky sort of characters are very popular, like House or Dr Cox, but there's a fine line between being sarcastically entertaining and being a grating smart-ass prat, and to me Athene is way over on the wrong side of this line.
"He's playing a character"....what, that's an acceptable reason to act like a jerk and squint his gay eyes like a smug little prick? That's great that the little pussy earns money for charity but....how about people just donate to charity and NOT support a whiny little fagot?
I've never watched a video of his outside of this one and the world first 60. Acting like a dick and making money off of it is the definition of a douchbag. Don't get why people are defending this guy. If you want to follow a gamer follow someone who gives constructive and intellegent information back to the community.
Athene is a character, the guy behind athene is a person, you either like or dislike athene, but the person is doing charity for the children and i havent seen anyone else raising almost 1million dollars for charity. I couldnt stand athene for so long, during WoW's 2007 or so he was (still is) such an arrogant character, but that's it.
And as many of us know and as he has also said, gaming scene without drama would be extremely boring.
Do you get mad at characters in movies and on tv, like REALLY superpissed, enough to go online and whine? Dying over here from lols.
Umm, that's a pretty stupid question to ask. People are very vocal when it comes to characters they love and hate. Stories are built on the personalities of good characters (loved or loathed), and a person's reactions to a character is what makes a film, series or novel stand out.
If you need to ask, then you've obviously never been invested in any important stories. You should see all of the anti-Joffrey Lannister discussions out there. You will be surprised.
The problem is, Athene isn't a very good character. He's just annoying, abrasive and grating as hell.
I personally don't mind athene. Yes people say he's a real douche and got all his gear from his fans...If you complain that if you had milions of gold from people who support you that you would have good gear also, then ask and see; most likely nobody will give you gold. YOU are the people that help him gain fame and support.
Plus he's raising money for save the children, it was at like 790k the last time I checked.
You don't see video's of a kid shooting his rifle at a target 200 feet away and hitting a bulls eye. Only to have a military sniper do the same thing with a 50 cal and get all hyped about it.
Same thing, being a dick is being a dick even if he's just "acting" or playing a part. A person with maturity/class wouldn't represent themselves in such a way.
This will make a few of you happy. A few hours ago Athene types his password into the "Account Name" entry field while streaming. As such, his account has been hacked and is temporarily banned until Athene faxes in his driver licenses/proves the account belongs to him.
"I believe in the sand beneath my toes. The beach gives a feeling, an earthy feeling. I believe in the faith that grows, And the four right chords can make me cry. When I'm with you I feel like I could die, and that would be alright"

your assumptions and analogies are amusing, but you just dont know what you are talking about
What are you impling? I wan't assuming anything. The guy one up'ed a dude's video then mocked him by closing his eyes and gloating. <this is called being a dick, if you didn't realize this and think it's socally accepted behavior you are mistaken.
Are they hating Jack Gleeson? No they're not. They realize he is an actor playing a part. This is not what is happening when people hate Athene whom most seem to think is an actual person "being himself."
Well, some people think he's really like that, but some know Athene is his internet persona. But I will repeat what I said earlier:
I know that these days the more snarky sort of characters are very popular, like House or Dr Cox, but there's a fine line between being sarcastically entertaining and being a grating smart-ass prat, and to me Athene is way over on the wrong side of this line.
Like some people have noted, the Athene character is a douche, a super douche, a freaking douche solar system made up of 100% douchebag particles. He's not a very interesting character, nor a very good one for that matter. Maybe the guy behind it went for clever and funny in a sarcastic sort of way, but he missed his mark by light years. Athene, as a persona, is just facepalm, cry out loud, god-awful.
But I'm sure he's a great guy, just like Jack Gleeson is probably a great guy as well.
Yeah screw him for raising money for children, what an a-hole -.-
Obviously you don't see the point of this discussion.
No one is against the fact that he's running a charity. No one. What people are annoyed with is the way in which it's being done. If there was a youtube series of vids about twin siblings making out, which is all done for charity, what will make it screwed up isn't the good intentions behind it, but the methods used to get to the results.
Some people dislike Athene not because he's doing good, but because he's acting like an a-hole in his videos. Again, it's the methods, not the results. Would it harm his cause in any way if Athene acted in a quirky, fun fashion, making quips, while throwing anecdotes around. No, not at all. Instead he chooses to insult people and acts like a putz, like a royal putz who thinks he is superior to everyone and tries to annoy you with on so many levels. I'd say his behavior hinders his cause, who knows how much money he could raise if he was actually likable and fun, but with a sarcastic edge.
1. Given loads of gold and money to get possibly the best gear
2. Nether Tentacles hits 3 times a shot
3. Crit passive makes him crit 100 percent of the time for a small small amount of time
4. Overgeared.
TL:DR Given gear/money free, Op class, Not impressed

Either way, to validate his butcher kill video, if you watch it in 1080p and pause it when it zooms in on the loot at 44 seconds.
You see this. (highlighted the Tomes of Secrets, which only drop in inferno mode)
