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.

Jerma is also one of the exceptions... most streamers that are anchored to one game flop when they try to branch out.

Another exception would be PreachGaming - he pivoted very neatly from WoW to MMORPGs more broadly. It helps to have a very dissatisfied playerbase that's looking for a new game to leap to, though there isn't anything that can neatly replace Destiny as FFXIV did for WoW fans.

Yeah, no competitor to D2 probably makes it way harder to switch games or categories.
