Calling all Paladins players
There is a petition calling for Epic Games to purchase the rights to Paladins. Nearly 3700 signatures
Sign this to help give Paladins another chance
Also, ask Epic Games to hire me
(Just kidding...unless?😎)

After speaking with a few former Paladins devs, I learned that internally at EM there was/is widespread hatred of me. The dev in the clip couldn't articulate an argument against me. They parrot what they hear at work. The other devs even admitted they didn't watch the video.
1/4
Paladins dying should not come as a surprise. The game was a resume padder to most people working on it
Don't forget - in my last Paladins video I exposed how the devs prioritized their own wants & ideas over the players
They literally picked shit to do out of a hat
I got six Paladins X RWBY codes. You want one? Retweet this. I'll draw the winners next week Friday. You MUST retweet this to enter. LIKING/COMMENTING DOES NOT WORK.
GOOD LUCK. Feel free to draw art or w/e. I retweet /like as always.
I have 6 Monstercat passes. If you want one, like/retweet and leave a reply. No art contest this time, I want everyone to get a fair chance.
I'm going to randomly select the winners on stream next Sunday. And of course, viewer games as always.
I understand the "why bother" mentality & uncertainty w/ Epic
but Paladins was ALWAYS undercooked, suffering from poor management & plagued w/ developers looking to pad their resumes
Paladins was kept alive by an extremely tolerant & forgiving fanbase
It deserves a 2nd chance
might temporarily un-retire from YouTube to make one last paladins video
former devs looking to share their story about work conditions / management / etc feel free to DM
Will keep you anonymous, even if I did not agree w/ you / we butted heads before
After nearly 2 years, my YouTube videos are finally back online.
This has been a long time coming. The first batch is up - more are on the way.

If these ever meant something to you, now’s the time: Watch. Like. Share This.
Thanks ❤️
See you soon!
I have been removed from the Paladins Partner Program. I haven't received any event codes to giveaway or even an email letting me know I was kicked out.
I think this action is pretty telling. Current and future partners, let this be a lesson. Nod and agree.
Tech and I are being censored for exposing a SEGA employee's involvement with fake copyright strikes, dox threats, harassment, slander, stalking, & more
This has been swept under the rug for at least 2 years. Please share this and tag someone who might be able to help spread it
They keep deleting my video on the PSO2/Syberbolt situation in the Steam groups and in the PSO2 discords.
I think a community manager threatening players and engaging in activity against TOS, is a pretty relevant topic. Especially since they ran the official game's twitter, but whatever. The information is out there
Link to video covering it: piped.video/eONML3KmBrM?si=TOMh…
This tweet has been seen 20K times and that was just overnight. Reddit is just getting into it, and others are pushing for people like Asmongold / Critical to look into it.
You are witnessing the complete and total collapse of Evil Mojo and the suicide of careers in real time.

Effective immediately all of my YouTube videos have been set to private due to some mentally ill PSO2 player submitting false copyright claims.
Please read and share this tweet / message with everyone you can.
Copyright extortion affects ALL content creators you enjoy.
A Sega employee may have violated company ToS to give out private info about my account. A player claims someone shared my ban reason w/ them because they were "privileged".
Sega said providing an official statement to ME may "breach Terms of Service"
Paladins was supposed to get a proper PVE mode but Hi-Rez upper management funded Divine Knockout and Rogue Company instead
I am very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very very mad.
The true turning point and destined for failure decision was them abandoning a PvE expansion for Paladins because they were (I’m not kidding) afraid of Overwatch2…let that sink in.
Had we stayed the course with minimal investment Paladins could have revitalized and exploded but instead resources were diverted straight to DKO and Rogue Company despite neither ever coming close to what Paladins had going for it in terms of player numbers.
I’m still mad over it.
Wow, I didn't even see this!
"Somebody (Syberbolt) that hasn't done a video in like 18 months did a video on Paladins and now that's the only thing sustaining them."
Do Evil Mojo employees normally talk about the financial situation of their players???? LOL

The situation has escalated. I've gotten messages about viewers donating large sums of money to streamers like @MoistCr1TiKaL in an attempt to spread awareness.
Thanks for the incredible loyalty and support. Maybe someday more people will bring attention to this.
It's really fucking simple.
1. Assemble a team that actually plays the game they work on.
2. Prioritize player feedback over developer personal wishes.
3. Document everything so new hires aren't fucked.
Technical debt aside, that's why the game never grew like it should have.
Discord: "Our username system was confusing so we're changing it."
Also Discord: "now you get four usernames (@, display, server nickname, dm nickname) & a badge with your old username that we thought was too difficult to share"
I want an MMO in the Paladins universe.
We already have two main factions (Magistrate/Resistance). Different races. Well known characters that can give missions and questlines. Could tie in to Paladins w/ Cross promotions/events. Would build lore.
"Realm" is a good MMO name too
A Hi-Rez employee said that I have nothing worthwhile to discuss.
I guess that means there's no point in releasing the next patch review since they don't want my feedback.
Such a darn shame too, I spent half the video going in depth over how to improve the new UI.
After about 4 months of trying to get in contact with Hi-Rez about receiving a verified checkmark in game, I finally got a response from them
"You're toxic"
first controversial opinion of 2021. This is a good move. The game wasn't esports ready. It was solely a marketing thing.
The streams had to jump cut to casters mid match without explanation when someone crashed.
Use the funds to help stabilize the game first, then try again.
💎 PALADINS ESPORTS UPDATE 💎
We've made the difficult decision to discontinue Paladins esports in 2021.
Thank you to all the pro players, fans, & staff whose passion made competitive Paladins possible.
Read our announcement below for more details.

Very disappointed with Hi-Rez studios, it's been exactly one patch without a Maeve skin and I'm literally crying and pissing and shitting myself rn this abuse cannot go on. Why won't they give her a skin do they not want to make their fans happy? How can we as Maeve mains live???
Real talk, Paladins has been bleeding players for a long time with each passing update. It's a fact.
The new VGS system effects older players more than newer ones.
Older players leaving because of this will not make up for the miniscule amount of new players acquired.
1/?
AoC leak #1 (don't tell Hi-Rez) 🤫
-Torvalds skin is getting delayed for another 10 years
-Worm skin for Yagorath
-A bucket of water is the new champion
-Next battle pass has shoe removing emotes for everyone
-Bane announcer pack (for you!)
-Terminus is broken on purpose

Not necessarily with the game but how about cleaning house of employees that threaten the playerbase over their opinions on their game, play favorites, and disregard feedback from certain people and communities that don't align with their game design philosophy and balance? 👍
Management is 100% at fault here
Ex-employees have shared horror stories w/ me about how chaotic the workplace is. Projects change & get dropped w/o warning by nepotism hires in Leadership
Hi-Rez's problem is and always will be Leadership (your friends) chasing year old trends
I will be making my YouTube videos public again.
I was going to come back w/ a video going into autistic detail proving how a public figure projected & falsely accused me of stalking them
but I'll be the bigger man and let it slide this time
Monster Hunter video next. Enjoy!
In a few hours, the majority of the paladins playerbase will flock to steam forum, Reddit, and Twitter to ask why the VGS system was changed because most players don't read patch notes, play PTS ( some aren't even able to, like consoles) and watch the patch preview stream.
Fun
"Generic company statement that addresses nothing and vaguely explains a resolution. Nothing will change but this tweet will be liked and shared by many who will praise the company for transparency. You will continue to give us money next week." - Company Twitter Account, 20XX
Hirez is making huge changes to Paladins in season 3.
Most of the playerbase doesn't read patch notes online or watch the preview stream.
They don't post the notes in game for players to read.
This will end well.
new paladins items be like
"if its the second tuesday during the summer and there isn't a maeve player that saved nsfw on their computer and you are covid negative gain .5 bullets for 3s every 2.9s"
In the off chance more people see this tweet, here's what they've were responding to : piped.video/watch?v=ycXmksqs…
Also
>a dev threatened to remove a returning gamemode ("as a joke") and then locks their account
>a diff dev threatens to report people/ban ppl over harassment claims
Endlessly googling for images to use in the new video. Came across this. I've seen Tencent's art before, but not for Khan. Just thought I'd share this one. Don't know how many people have seen this.
Hirez founder and chairman, Erez Goren, who effectively killed Realm Royale and made fun of people streaming his own companies game, is now in charge of the new Hirez studio focusing on top down strategy games.
