Welp, They Finally Broke Our Bud Datto Media

He's so right. There's a suit at Bungo that got paid for this decision. More concerned with the next few months of $$ than the next few years of players.

Datto was broken a long, long time ago...

This is not his first rant about pricing.

I feel bad for him. Destiny is a sinking ship that he tied himself too, now he just has pray he somehow survives the storm

Jerma went from a niche youtuber on a moderately popular game to one of the most celebrated and beloved streamers on twitch just by becoming a variety steamer. The idea that a content creator can’t pivot into a new game or games is probably false, if datto chooses to play destiny despite how he has seemingly always been somewhat upset by it it’s on him. I’m not happy about the prospect of a person torturing themselves for no real reason or gain but I can’t help but call it as I see it.

For every 1 success story out there, there are 100 failures. The distinct difference between Datto and Jerma is that Jerma's fucking weird. So people come to the stream for the weird guy. Datto, on the other hand, is known for high-level play in a video game called Destiny. Still a funny dude with (imo) good takes across the board, but you make your name and when you settle in that position, hard to get out.

I wager he would be fine in the long run, but we don't know what his situation would look like in the short-term if he moved on from Destiny. I don't think it's any of our business what his financials look like, but I'd wager the short term would look real rocky in content creation if he were to pivot out of Destiny.
