But for some reason the angry video game nerd keeps making videos.

- Money from sponsored segments. - Other people writing scripts, recording gameplay and other stuff. It's a different series today.

I used to really like James and Mike Mondays. Then Mike posted a dick pic on the subreddit and for whatever reason that wasn’t a fireable offense. Kind of killed the vibes for me. That was even before everything started really changing. Now it’s like the avgn is reanimated from the grave for each episode. I haven’t really watched in years.

This is just a bad take on Blizzard. - x years on the project titan, only to get cancelled Overwatch came out of that and it was one of the biggest game in the last 15years. It sold over 50m copies, an insane number.

Which was pure and utter luck from scrapping a 10-ish year old project which who knows much much money they threw in. What if Overwatch would've been a huge failure? Would we still vindicate Blizzard's failed 2nd MMO?

What if what if? Reality is that OW was huge success that you rarely see.
