I don't watch gaming streamers, but I always felt like his persona was a joke and everyone was in on it. I don't think he was taken seriously as a personality.
Chris Brown made a come back tooThe only true way to get canceled is to get incarcerated, a la Diddy and R Kelly
He fucked up long enough ago to have a redemption arc. Also heard the allegations against him were dubious but didn't investigate further.People still love Mike Tyson
I dont know. Looks like something I would turn off immediatley.

Same, it's just so incredibly cringey and childish. But even relative to young people, I would consider it vapid, low-brow content. It's disturbing to see the ongoing infantilization across so many aspects of modern society. (yes, I know that sounds super preachy).I know very little about this guy, but from the 5 mins I spent investigating he is an annoying
I truly cannot wrap my head around why any person out of their teenage years would watch a twitch stream for entertainment.
Pretty sure sporting events get channels banned for DMCA.
Pretty sure he's referring to officially sanctioned simul-broadcasts to the platform that Amazon has done where they have the rights to show the game (i.e. Thursday Night Football, and some of the overseas games).
Didnt know that as I dont have twitch, but my post exclusively refers to people watching gaming streamers.
Kick bans people for streaming ufc events and I've seen twitch do likewise. Also happened with the Super Bowl.
But not surprising. That studio depended on this guy being the face of it. When they severed ties with him, it was over. It's like severing ties with Bruce Wayne on Wayne Enterprises...if Wayne Enterprises was a start up that was only notable because Bruce Wayne was the face of the company.
I suspect it's more that there isn't much there for other studios to buy and build on. It's a crowded genre and it was a fairly small team, so it's not like a publisher or studio would be buying a finished product guaranteed to get players to fork money over.
Nah. If the dude never ran into controversy, it'd be alive and well. The whole studio was bankrolled on that guy's name alone. Once they lost him, it was over. He's the only reason it ever got off the ground.
