Ignore the game, and play something else. His viewer base was already dwindling due to his narcissic behavior except this whole reaction made things worse. There is other MMO going in Alpha/Beta these days, he could've played those.

Many of his year long viewers called his crap (including moderators), his move was a gamble to attract XIV haters to watch him. Except it backfired and he's just trying to collect the remaining pieces of his image by playing the victim card. Except no, he choose to play the jester card.

He got attention for the past few days and what's worse, other streamers are calling his crap. Meaning they get the rewards that went with all Quinn's attention..
He gambled on hate, he lost.
Completely agree. The saddest thing is that while most people can see this for what it was he still has a group encouraging him to behave like he is, we see it in this thread. He's not doing anything new or interesting either, this 9000 IQ talk is just simping, honestly. Many many streamers and YouTubers have gone down the road of appealing to, and rewarding the toxic side of their viewers and all that happens is the decent people leave, leaving only the toxic ones. Asmongold, for all his critics and flaws will stop mid sentence and call out his own chat when he thinks they are out of line. He does it frequently.

TTS donations are a real red flag, it encourages all the edge lords to say something stupid for attention and gets so many people into trouble that any semi intelligent person would not allow that feature.
