I mean.... Sounds like he's grown as a person? Idk why we are giving him shit for doing the right thing. Hold the negativity for the times to use em.
Ninjas mostly been a force for good in the gamer influencer space, has had his slip up but generally from what I've seen is a good guy.
I agree. Not sure why we need to rag on the guy for saying something positive.
His content isn't for me but I agree on this point. The channels that focus on anger and rage are not good for us. They do it due to a broken system that rewards such behavior. It's not good.

No you got it all wrong.The man that drops the n bomb and refuses to admit he's wrong and then refuses to stream with women because his fans are too toxic. The bar must be so low it's underground.
Just gonna say this. Gamers are simply fucking miserable people. Era is one of the worst, no doubt. I find it depressing and fascinating how rabid forum dwellers and those on social media are to literally shit on their favorite hobby. At every. Single. Turn. One of the strangest phenomina.He's not wrong. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone try and spin this to make him look bad - Era style.
Dude makes a banging ass life as millionaire from playing video games for a living and inspired many, many others to travel the same road. My mans legit feeding his family from this.Do the opposite of what this guy thinks/says.
He has tweeted some uninformed, embarrassing shit. He might be good at online pew-pew, but please don't take life lessons from him. He is not the sharpest tool in the shed.
Why would you ever want to be mindless about anything, in public or in private? That sounds like a very undesirable state to function in. Careless and thoughtless.Era took this the right way for once.
But man, it kinda suck to bea content creator because you can't be mindless about a game in public.
Agree, he really seem to have grown as a person since his last week's tweet of nonconstructive criticism hot take about NFL Kickers, and the way he reacted to being corrected about it.I mean....

Whatchu say,?
This dude was afraid to stream with women because there might be rumors. I think his self-confidence has a glass jaw
Already happened right from the start. :/He's not wrong. I'm looking forward to seeing everyone try and spin this to make him look bad - Era style.
In the UK on the BBC we have a consumer rights programme called Watchdog, it's important in highlighting business malpractice and it holds them to account- this is journalism.
With gaming there are some YouTubers who perform a similar role because they do not blindly accept press statements, many of the larger websites is too close the companies they report on.
Yes some YouTubers presentation style is very shouty or angry, and that can draw attention, as viewers we can decide who we want to watch - or who we don't. But they are an absolutely essential part of the gaming eco-system, and if people or companies try and stop them from being heard it's because they don't like what they have to say.
When Xbox One was fully revealed at E3 in 2013 it was the YouTube community that spoke up the loudest while some shill sites swallowed the anti- consumer PR crap. Angry Joe's interview with Major Nelson is a great example of this. Some people now would say they are 'toxic'. But I say they spoke up and represented the voices of the public, this pushed Microsoft into revising their product and Xbox is now a far better product because of it and both MS and the public benefit because of it.
Thank god for consumer advocate youtubers, what ever did we do before they came along.In the UK on the BBC we have a consumer rights programme called Watchdog, it's important in highlighting business malpractice and it holds them to account- this is journalism.

Outrage merchants on the other hand do far more harm than good.

What good do they do?
Theres always different factors involved depending on the situation, but generally speaking, if you have a choice to say something in the vein of "this fucking sucks" and not much else, or come with more contructive criticism, saying what you find bad and what you want to change/improve, what would you choose? This isnt just for games (Ninja also pointed that out).That anyone took anything of value from that video (especially all the verified folks in the this thread) is a fucking joke. Laughable, shameful shit. No one owes game developers and certainly not the big ones anything.
I don't know if you've realised this but game developers are people too.That anyone took anything of value from that video (especially all the verified folks in the this thread) is a fucking joke. Laughable, shameful shit. No one owes game developers and certainly not the big ones anything.

He's just gaming's Justin Bieber. Everybody hated and bullied him for years but eventually started to like him and now love him.I mean.... Sounds like he's grown as a person? Idk why we are giving him shit for doing the right thing. Hold the negativity for the times to use em.
Why? Harassing a developer cause their game sucks? Yeah okay that's bad. But writing that Call of Duty is shit on Twitter of all places instead of writing some nested tweet storm of an essay explaining in great detail using your middle school level prose why it sucks? Give me a break. Not gonna happen and it doesn't have to. You are not here as a person to create perfect justifications of your opinions for everyone to "consume". Either as an individual or a "content creator". Whatever the fuck that actually means. Do I want to read injustified opinions? Doesn't matter. What people like Ninja are calling for is not getting rid of the "rage screaming man baby who screams at shitty games that don't matter". What this is is a millionaire moron who just woke up one day after getting roasted on Twitter for saying something stupid or being called a sellout and thought "boy would it be nice if people weren't mean to me? I would like to play this video game without people claiming I'm a shill which I am but man does it feel bad". He is playing for the other team and you all fall for it.Theres always different factors involved depending on the situation, but generally speaking, if you have a choice to say something in the vein of "this fucking sucks" and not much else, or come with more contructive criticism, saying what you find bad and what you want to change/improve, what would you choose?

What is "why?" referring to? Honest question. Do you mean why i asked you that question? If so, i was just wondering which approach you would prefer to take since you said it was a fucking joke to take an advice of trying to be more positive than negative on the topic of giving feedback on games. I dont see anything wrong with trying to be more positive than negative in that regards. And as mention, i'm more generally speaking. Theres always some different factors depending on the situation, so every case might not be exactly the same.Why? Harassing a developer cause their game sucks? Yeah okay that's bad.

Saw your edit now. I dont think this has much to do with this to be honest. I mean, hasnt the guy been roasted for quite some time now? And one dont have to be playing for any specific team to want to be more positive than negative either.What this is is a millionaire moron who just woke up one day after getting roasted on Twitter for saying something stupid or being called a sellout and thought "boy would it be nice if people weren't mean to me?

My favorite is when any Japanese person comes on stage in a press conference. Immediate "cringeeeeeeeee" spam. Literally just because they are not AmericanHonestly. Yeah. Especially during press conferences of posters making fun of announcers being "cringey". Just Era things.
No, just don't be a cunt. Something that a lot of people across the internet, including plenty of people on Era could learn.
The fact you think asking people to be constructive with their criticism is telling them to be a shill says it all lol
Don't know why some of y'all don't seem to view us game developers as people.
If he's unwilling to do normal things because people will judge him and assume his intentions, then he should get the hell away from cameras and media. that's a narcissistic complex that's going to come back and bite him very severely in the future.It was because he's married and didn't feel comfortable doing so...nothing wrong with it at all.
Because games are not something everyone should worry about. Make sense for those who make their living from it, but not for the ones who simply use it as entertainment. For those, thinking about games is bigger waste if time than the simple act of playing it.Why would you ever want to be mindless about anything, in public or in private? That sounds like a very undesirable state to function in. Careless and thoughtless.

No you got it all wrong.
It's not that Ninja won't play with women. It's that he won't play with women that won't give him some sort a career boost, for example he offered to play with Lady Gaga.
Seriously though Ninja is a hypocrite.
This dude was afraid to stream with women because there might be rumors. I think his self-confidence has a glass jaw
