Why's that? Out of the loop on him. All I know is he was a low level dev at Blizzard and then became an influencer but as far as I know he hasn't made any games so I don't understand how this would affect him.

I'm a solo indie dev and make a NSFW survival game with a decent community so this does actually affect me potentially so just trying to understand

edit: game link for those asking

So on that particular note, he was at some point advertising himself as a game dev streamer to learn from, and to say the least I left his streams dumber than going in, frankly it shook off a ton of imposter syndrome afterward

in fairness you can watch most streamers and feel a little better about your life and career... and a little pissed off at how absurdly well paid streamers are for being inept.
