They did have some interest, but initially I think they wanted to show that it would gain viewers on Netflix or other streaming service or broadcaster…

They have only recently separated from Geek & Sundry/Nerdist, who have just announced the closure of their subscription service (Alpha) at the end of March.

I think that they will instead want to keep control of their product, produce it themselves with the aid of crowdfunding and then look for a platform willing to show.  This would serve as an advertisement for the webseries Critical Role, its merch, etc. and get it a larger viewing audience on Twitch and YouTube.

Since Twitch is owned by Amazon, I would have though that they would go Amazon Prime.  The latter is, after all, producing the “Lord of the Rings” series and they seem a complementary fit.
