Nice to see him acknowledged by Kit and Krysta. I miss him.

[@richardlu6706]

he may not have been on brand, but god damn his passion and love for games was clear as day. I still miss him

[@ValiantPixel]

I still think about him more than any other internet celebrity who has passed. Although a lot of what transpired was due to severe mental issues that were outside of our control, I feel like he would have stayed with us if he had a better support system. Now he’s gone forever and we’ll never know.

[@alessiocece2098]

Yes the "we or one couldn't have prevented it" is just plain stupid......

[@_Just_Another_Guy]

@@alessiocece2098 Part of the contributing factor for him to do what he did was, because he was not always "on brand", his behavioural outbursts/manic episodes were very public on the internet via his livestreams and social media posts. This attracted all sorts of weirdo audiences who were into that sort of drama/behaviour and consequently egged him on to keep repeating & escalating that manic behaviour. Also, the weirder his behaviour got towards the end, the more he pushed away the audiences/fans who actually cared about him because he got "too weird/problematic" for them to keep seeing him in this constant manic state. In the end, he was left with nothing but a rabid audience who was just egging on his spiraling behaviour.

I remember in CND's nintendo store new york switch launch videos, in the midnight release Etika was offered to come inside the store like the media before opening to film and stuff. Even the employees at nintendo world new york loves him!

[@Ninjasolarteam]

I think nintendo doesn't wanna talk about it and nintendo hates etika

[@ppowersteef]

That's so great to hear, RIP Etika, but may his legacy live on through everyone.

[@M64bros]

This is proof that Nintendo NEVER hated him

[@andyfritter]

Etika would have loved to see you guys talk about him. Miss him so much, Joycon Boyz for life.

[@JadenHere]

This is so great to hear RIP to the great

[@97MiloProductions]

this is nice to hear, he was a big part of the Nintendo community in his own way. gone too soon unfortunately :(

[@dannythekhexpert6468]

For me personally it wasn’t the Switch marketing that made me want a Switch, it was 100% Etika, the marketing was fine but Etika was the one who hyped it up so passionately that it made me want one, and BotW just so happened to be an amazing entry point to start at

[@garfieldfan-yx4he]

man's smiling in heaven knowing even he got nintendo to fall for him

[@RogersBase]

Love to see this. ❤️

[@alessiocece2098]

Oh Hey Roger! 😃

[@HPRshredder]

I still miss him and his channel. Honestly I miss the Nintendo from the Wii U days. People describe them as “hard times” for Nintendo but I was much more tuned in to every direct and every announcement then. Everything and everyone felt tighter-knit. I really miss it.

[@manofwhy]

Bless his soul, he was such a legend. I'm glad some people at Nintendo recognised his influence.

[@marche800]

We knew but it's good to hear it said out loud

[@alessiocece2098]

I didn't....

[@MagillanicaLouM]

Happy to hear, was a regular viewer of his. I'm sure he'd be hype to hear this himself. Glad y'all enjoyed him

[@RadicalCapitol]

That's nice to hear ♡ A day doesn't go by where I don't miss him...

[@XradicalD]

It's heart breaking to see things nowadays and just wishing he was here to see it. It's weird to say as I never personally knew the guy but man, he had such a charisma with him. Hope wherever he's now, he's being treated a lot better, rest in peace.

[@ibechuu9695]

This was amazing to here. Thank you guys for sharing this.

[@xXGambleXx]

Etika really pushed the Switch and especially Fire Emblem, Xenoblade 2, and ARMS, with the memes he naturally came out with. Despite not being on brand, he paved the way for a new wave of content in the Nintendo community and inspired a lot of people who were content creators and artists alike.

[@GamingGamer22]

I'll never forget when he roasted shuntaro furukawa

[@tardistime6857]

I still can’t believe he’s gone it’s still heartbreaking

[@asprinjuice8877]

I wish he was still here to see Pyra and Mythra, Sora and Steve in smash but I know he'd be happy knowing that we were left with such nice things he loved

[@keenon8423]

I miss etika so much I remember I thought it was a joke I cried for the next few days I miss him man.

[@alessiocece2098]

But you don't remember it!? 🤔

[@masonthompson1795]

I’ll never forget him or that day.. that whole month of leading up to it, it happening and the aftermath.. but I will always cherish watching his livestreams while doing BOTW puzzles I bought at the Nintendo store in NY just a year before..

[@alessiocece2098]

What was "leading up to it"?!

[@masonthompson1795]

@@alessiocece2098 Etika had a few mental breakdowns and had the police involved a few times. Plus the whole thing where Keemstar encouraged him to do it. And then his video he posted apologizing while walking to do it.. we didn’t have confirmation for almost a week

[@AriEllePhilia]

thanks for sharing! honestly i was in deep depression but i came across etika in 2014 and seeing his growth was so wholesome and helped me be distracted by my problems...it's still sad how we lost such a passionate guy but i hope he knew he had so many people rooting for him and inspired by him. still remember where i was the day i found out about the news and how shocked the news struck me...

[@shabberplasm32]

Etika was an awesome person

[@jamessnedeker4799]

Etika and TotalBiscuit and Technoblade. You couldn't get a more diverse group of gamers than those three gamers but they are legends I miss dearly. Somewhere in the Great Beyond is the most epic gaming session you could imagine.

[@luistijerina]

Etika was INSTRUMENTAL in building the hype train for Smash 4 and later the Nintendo Switch

[@fluffyspark798]

It was sad when he died

[@Jabersson]

That's so cool to find out, the validation that what he did affected people inside Nintendo just as much as us outside!

[@theotheslav]

Wanted to take a look at how Reggie’s doing after his retirement. Found out that Kit and Krysta left too… wow. And stumbled upon this video on Etika as well. Etika was the man that made me a nintendo fan. I still remember watching E3 2018 on his stream and seeing him go nuts over the smash reveal. Good times.

[@b2j135]

damn man... #JoyConBoyzFOREVER

[@HeroC14]

Sad for him. He was into some strange things or people groups towards the end of his life that more than likely contributed to his state of mind.

[@RoTheCrow]

He was truly one of a kind ❤️❤️❤️

[@antonsaysyee]

I miss him so much

[@PatJamma]

Thanks for this

[@FearFox]

I’ve always wondered about this. Now I know, and It breaks my heart even more. Desmond felt like an older brother to me. I’m so glad I got to watch him since I was 12. When he played xenoblade 2 on stream I was intrigued. Picked the game up, haven’t seen the same since. This series literally changed my life - my whole world. Thank you Nintendo/Monolithsoft for this gift of light. 💙❤️ R.I.P. Etika. 🤍🖤

[@Cerbleur07]

Yeah, he wasn't a big celebrity like, idk, Leonardo Di. Caprio or Chris Rock, or Pewdiepie, neither Markeplier, but still he was very inspirational, he started with very little, just with a phone and a toy tripod and still he made content with a lot of joy, overcaming addictions and making people happy with reactions. At the end depression got him and he is a clear example that without proper help depression can get even the strongest. :( Forever, the Hype Train will be trotting. #JoyconBoysForever

[@alessiocece2098]

Did you know to know he was "strong"??

[@Cerbleur07]

@@alessiocece2098 he did his whole content creator thing from scratch, it is not for everyone and he did it without any background experience, that takes a lot of bravery, specially to talk in public and he worked as an entertainer from all kind of things, from the simplest to the trolleists and weird for all curiosity, he even streamed one time about the deep web, how was like it. Honestly I always got scared about him because usually that brings trouble but he just did it to, you know, break the curiosity of people and at the end, a think he didn't like it but at the end he embrace it, he was truly a news content creator. You practically knew that if there was something existing related to games or technology or whatever the first to talk about and react was always Etika. Always.
