[@RudysGarage]

I'm in total agreement with you JanKz, Apex Legends at its core is an absolutely fantastic game and I'll always love it. The only other game that I would describe just as "life changing" that I shared a similar obsession with was when I played WoW from launch to MoP... Just like WoW was my first MMORPG, Apex was my first BR and it absolutely took over once I started playing when season 2 launched. It is so unique, the weapons are amazing and portrayed accurately (for those who are into firearms IRL I'm sure you share a similar appreciation as I do), the movement, the unique mechanics, top to bottom it's brilliant in how it plays. I can't get enough. Sure, a few things need improving and it's a shame the suits that manage the companies that administer the game most likely only care about squeezing as much $$ out of the player base as possible... fix that and it's a winner for years to come.

[@3oosty]

I've been watching you since the OW days. I was a sweaty little console Widowmaker too, and you were the only console creator worth watching. Your vibe and your energy keep me coming back dude. I'm glad to hear you're sticking on Apex, even if it has its lulls.

[@AstralityFPS]

Thank you for rationalizing and sharing your true thoughts with us. You were the first ever Apex KZbinr that I started watching in season 5/6 and I'm proud to be watching to this day (not glazing, I just enjoy your style of video/personality). I would also like to say however, if you ever decide to pivot the direction of your channel (I.e play more than JUST apex), I'm here for that too. I personally feel your overwatch videos are underrated and I myself have been playing a lot of rpgs like Lies of P or Elden Ring/DS Series. I'm not telling you how to run your channel, just my own preferences because I am a viewer and "fan" so I'd love to keep seeing you grow. Sending you love from Chicago my guy, keep it up :)

[@L3tsFnGoDumDuM]

Thanks for the constant positivity and your stance during this exodus. I've been watching you since season 1/2 and I can say you've definitely helped me improve as a gamer who never touched pure FPS games before. Apex used to be my whole personality for like 4 years, then it lost its magic and friends stopped playing, so I stopped playing less. But taking breaks, playing other games and coming back makes the game so much more fun. I'm loving the event right now.

Jankz, for me, you've always offered the trifecta: skilled/performative flashy gameplay, great articulation of what you're doing, and a genuineness about your character. What you think of yourself is not necessarily what others think about you, and you certainly don't sound negative. At least from my perspective in your videos I feel like you're just real. Less can sometimes be more and it's appreciated more when something great is in short supply. Do what makes you happy, no more no less. 😊
