Former Chief spokesman for the Ministry of Defence of the Russian Federation (retired)
Video of him calling out the CEO:
The PoE community is infamous for its epic spergouts every three months when a new expansion league drops (pizzashill plays this game, just to give you an idea) but this one is beyond anything I've ever seen before. The entire sub has been seething non-stop for a week now, and the devs (Grinding Gear Games, better known as GGG) are pumping out patch after patch trying to appease the mob. But it's not good enough. One streamer (PathofMathh) had enough and thought it was a good idea to call the CEO Chris Wilson a "r-slurred bald frick" in his stream's chat, and also on video. He also said allegedly said that he should "go play with his fricking MTG cards" (the CEO is rich and has a very expensive MTG card collection).
I'm pretty sure this guy was sponsored by GGG to play and promote the game. Now that his game account is banned it's pretty much over for him. Most other streamers of this game seem to despise this guy because he tends to seethe too much even by PoE standards.
One of the biggest streamers in PoE who goes by the name Quin69 (a favorite among zoomers) responded with this video:

In the meantime the CEO is still trying to put out the fire regarding the new expansion with yet another personal post (the third one I believe) doubling down on the companies' unpopular views regarding the direction of the game. Naturally it gets downvoted into oblivion:

For every streamer who gets banned, a thousand zoom zooms are saved. Maybe they'll touch grass or at least play the game instead of watching it while drooling.

Why the frick would anyone ever continue dealing with screeching g*mer autists after getting that bag? If I have $250m in the bank I'm sailing off in a yacht to my private orgy island to Emperor Neromaxx for the rest of my life.

Because he started the company by himself with one other guy, built everything themselves including the engine. He went from being some random poorstrag to becoming half a billionaire. He's a gaymer himself and a huge fan of Diablo etc. which is why he created the game in the first place, he wanted to create a spiritual successor to Diablo. Took him 15 years to get to this point (the game launched about 13 years ago I think).

idk, I've heard notch is way less happy post sale to microsoft. For some reason he decided to buy a massive house and have crazy parties with the cute twinks and whores in hollywood every weekend. If I had his money i'd buy several square miles of land, build a tower and tell the rest of humanity to get fricked.

R-slurred seems to be treated more harshly than BIPOC on most platforms. Is it because blacks say the latter a lot, or because nerds got called the former a lot in middle school?

He had been sponsored by Grinding Gear Games, so he isn't just some "account". It's bad representation of the brand. That said, he isn't wrong.
Jump in the discussion.

Ah, I didn't realize there was an official sponsorship. Still, the right move was probably to cancel his sponsorship, rather than ban his game account.
Or maybe I'm wrong here because obviously the fans lap this shit up anyways.

unironically this is a bad look for Chris WIlson. Yes the streamer in question is a spergy butthole but the permaban comes off as absolutely the most petty response he could manage.
my r-slurred take is they keep trying to balance shit around the 1% of the 1%, currency printers like empy and his gang of misfit toys for example. This is not anyone's actual experience with the game by any standard at all since Empy's group of turbo autists basically exploit every facet of the game.
The subreddit is pretty funny to watch right now because they alternate between seethe post after seethe post about the state of the game and clapping like the r-slurred seals they are because one streamer sperged out a little too hard and got what they consider justice because he said some bad no no meanie words on stream.
TL:DR bideo gayme drama + gas all redditors.

Lol they straight up removed loot from monsters this time around and did it stealth. It wasn't even in the patch notes.
This was easily the most absurd and r-slurred thing they've ever done.

Chronic PoE addicts legit need help. Coming back every league and quitting after the first week is one thing but actually playing the game every day for months or years on end is just kinda disturbing.

On one hand, I would like them to fix Poe and make it a good game because Iโve played it off and on since 2014 and love it. On the other, I love that they have somehow harnessed an infinite sneed machine that spikes every 3 months, calms, then spikes again. I am quite torn on this honestly

OMG they put frozen orb in the game
I thought they were saving it for PoE2 but we all know that's never coming out. It would have been so cool if adding chains or fork to it spawned more frozen orbs instead of spawning ice shards. I'd love to see the negative fps from that
