[@dirtyhank5330]

You’re giving all of these people far too much credit. The reality is more like a bunch of trust fund private equity firms who have 0 understanding are throwing disgusting amounts of money at anything they think will net them the next Fortnite. And yea, that means they are SOO dumb they’ll give money to Fortnite creators to make essentially “Mario party mini games” for several million dollars because they have several billion dollars and 0 understanding of any of this… “never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence”- Hanson’s Razor

He only does things other than just play games when it's related to something he's passionate about, and it's pretty rare. But when he does, it's good.

Also he has done at least one investigation before, the video Is Crysis SECRETLY a Bionicle Game? | A Comprehensive Investigation.
