I'd love to see him play Warzone. The people he played Fortnite with moved over to it and their stream snipers are actual hackers, it's can get so bad the hacking stream snipers have hacking stream snipers who try and save the streamers.

Gonna be bold and predict he'll be back streaming Fortnite within, eh, the month at very latest.

Whilst I have zero issues with streamers, if you're going to broadcast yourself, your position and everything you're doing in a multiplayer game to the world then you can't whine when somebody does this to you.

Weirdly enough, I only ever see rants like that from super immature people, mostly the kids he's complaining about.

Meh, I know people like to have no sympathy for him thanks to his millions of dollars but stream sniping does sound genuinely infuriating. Especially since it essentially interferes with their job.

Stream sniping is stupid and ruins a lot of content. Watching this happen to people in Fall Guys was frustrating to me just as a viewer.

I just don't like that a dude with his enormous reach has essentially gotten the white-approved slap on the wrist for misogyny, usage of the n-word, doxxing people, and just overall being an extremely toxic person that's influential to many kids.

His job is ostensibly to entertain children, no one cares if he loses a game, he's not entitled to win or not be "stream sniped" which he can't possibly know was the case in the moment.

By the way, he mostly plays Valorant these days right? I don't know how easy it is to stream snipe in it but I feel this reaction will prompt people to do it even more. Worst if done in Valorant because it's a team game and people will probably willingly throw a game just to get to him.

Imagine being a millionaire, broadcasting your exact location in a video game, and then being mad that people know your location in the video game using what you chose to broadcast.

You guys are strange. People have a right to be frustrated, even if they are famous

This dude gets paid a lot of money to play this game mostly regardless of skill level for an audience of children...he should know how to vent the frustration outside of stream (which is his job.)

Stream sniping sucks but that is part of the territory for streamers. People who have thousands of less followers and subs get stream sniped just as much. Ninja is not special in that regard. You move on. use streamer delays etc. or play games with stream sniper prevention tools.

Ninja is not even that big anymore. He went from king of streaming to your average successful GTA RP streamer as far as size of audience.

Can't say i understand him here.. stream sniping is a REALITY as a streamer when you're popular in a community and people come to play with you. So yeah, you gotta put up with it like every other streamer does....

Stream sniping is always going to happen, deal with it or play something else.

I've never watched a Ninja stream and doubt I ever will but it's just a game my guy.

Can you imagine getting paid as much as he does to play video games and having this attitude about occasionally losing?

The thing is, these rants make Ninja money. Like clockwork, he shits out another one that everyone shares around.

What weird world of online gaming is this? What happened to just good old lag switchers from back in my day?

I'm old and out of touch.

I'm not a ninja fan what so ever but how would you guys feel if every game you play you have people that literally play just to hunt you down and no exactly where you are in the game at all times?

im sure it gets very annoying but what do I know I don't get paid millions of dollars to play games lol.
