Ngl this makes me super nervous

Pandingo · May 30

Sorry. I have ten years and sadly half a house worth of money invested into the game. Call me paranoid. I accept it.

I doubt it. But it's not great. And middle of the week is a poor decision. Just push it a week

Ahh yes the game will die cuz a stream is postponed and one of the employees left the company.

True, and sad at the same time. I wish I could go back and not spend money on this. I'm trying to learn to not spend on digital items, and just buy physical stuff.

Nailed it. Lol. The big concern is why. He was a no bull kind of guy. And part of my og alliance in the very beginning. So why did someone so invested just drop. And why didn't they see it coming so bad they need to put a pause on something so simple

Miike was just a community manager. This means nothing for the game lmao. I’m sure that the stream being pushed isn’t a big deal either

Pro tip: When someone announces their exit on their personal account and not on company letterhead, and especially 2 days after their last login, it's not a 2 week notice and goodbye party in the break room deal.

First, KM's departure is none of our business.
Second, you folks need to stop setting your hair on fire. It's embarrassing.
Third, there could be dozens of reasons KM left and that the stream was postponed, and those reason could be connected or not. But what I do know is that assuming the answer with almost no information is a dumb move.

Aren't you saucy. Did I ask why? No I didn't. Pull out whatever is going on and lighten up. I have every right to be speculative and concerned. You don't have a right to tell me my rights. Who's assuming here? All I'm stating is concern. And clearly anybody could read between the lines that there's reason to be concerned. So I'll remain within my rights to be concerned thanks ❤️ unless you'd like to return my 100k and ten years.

They did that on Fridays way before they started streaming, so unless something else happened behind the scenes, they'll definitely release the infor tomorrow

That's where I'm at too. Did it get me through years of hardships? Family deaths, suicides, loneliness? Absolutely. The game was both therapy and comradery and you can't replace that. Another way I'm so invested. But now that I'm to be married and looking at houses and a career and family I really wish I had a better outlet. But I'm not a big spender now just the high holidays lol

I think it's not planned, something of a more personal reason for miike. Anyways let's hope he have a better professional future.

Nah, I tend to agree with Colin on this. As much as I understand (and also feel) the curiosity and concern for Miike, there are a lot of reasons why a person leaves a job. And none of them are our business.

Nobody’s telling you your rights. Miike had a public face here and so it’s totally natural to want to know, but ultimately this is his life and he can choose how much or how little of it he wants to share with a bunch of strangers on the internet.

Well, over in the UK, that's around 5pm; so it suits us pretty well... 🤷‍♂️

someone leaving doesn't necessarily mean the game is in trouble or shutting down. people leave for all kinds of reasons including person ones. now if the ceo and a bunch of c-suite executives left that might mean something else.

I’d be worried if I saw champ/quest designers leaving. Actual hands on game devs. As long as they’re still around, the game will be fine.

I'll be only worried if kabam was taken over by some corporation with some hidden political agenda. Otherwise the game will stay safe and thrive lol.

And isn't it a norm nowadays in tech field to leave a company atleast once a five years? I know many people who shift high paying jobs constantly to learn new stuffs and grow in career and all, idk why they do though.

It really depends on if the company you're at is treating you well (or like a human) the reason people on the tech field attempt to job hop so much is because they are overworked, undervalued, and in many cases their pay doesn't change that much for how long they've been at a company or for how much they do and look elsewhere for higher pay and better opportunities

This. We can all be curious, and it's certainly natural to have questions. However, we're not owed any information or explanation.
Things happen. People quit. They're let go. They decide to move on. Anything is possible. One thing is for sure, Miike has given more than enough of himself to the job and the game. He deserves the respect of a positive send-off. We don't need to catastrophize.

Miike probably quit before pride month because he didn’t want to deal with the forums garbage display that we get every year lmao

Funny. I don't think we need to worry, though. We're all still here. Plus Jax doesn't seem too keen on that type of hatred, nor do the rest of the staff for that matter. If that's what they're spreading, this ain't the space for it.
