“You guys are fantastic and I thank you whole heartedly,” Williams said in a follow-up post. There’s no specific numbers, but in later posts on Reddit, Williams said things like the oral surgery he needed are already covered. The post then got shared to Reddit, where it blew up and rocketed his Patreon subscriber count up. Williams made the announcement post on the Deadly Boss Mods website on Sunday, which detailed how he was struggling to balance his life with addon development. The result? Thanks to the tremendous support, he’ll now be able to balance his work and life in a much healthier way.

Williams asked for help, and the community answered with a huge influx of support on the developer’s Patreon.

Adam Williams, the creator of Deadly Boss Mods, recently announced that he’ll retire from Mythic raiding in order to tend to his real-life obligations and issues, which would have an impact on the hugely popular addon.
