I feel bad for the guy, no one deserves to be barraged with thunderspy level comments. I honestly also don't think the HC Beta thing is a big deal, was it a dick move by the HC team. Yeah, but that doesn't really show a failing of character on their part. Though I understand why that would push him away from the game.
Agree with some of the people in this thread that his general style of content isn't appealing to me, and sort made me sad when I was looking for CoH content on Youtube just to find Positive Gamer is the basically the only channel with understanding of any sort of quality. Which isn't saying much.
But, I think you gotta sort of expect a certain amount vitriol if you plan to stream/make content for any kind of game, and especially online games. The internet is still the internet, no matter how much companies try to make it squeaky clean. And on the merch thing it's scummy as shit, if true, but I still don't think he deserves to be sent death threats.
That's my thoughts on it. Wanted to say something but some people in this thread seem so blinded by hate for the guy to look at this objectively(Won't name names, you know who you are. 👁️👄👁️).
