I very much doubt Viper or T90 regret going to Facebook gaming. I’m sure they got massive contracts and when it’s over then will return to twitch and everyone will just subscribe again. I still remember Vipers return from Mixer, it was like return of the king. His sub and Dono alert was going off the entire stream.About kasva he took a terrible decision, after a decade of playing the game he got competitive at the end and all of the sudden decided to switch to a new game, if it took 10 years yo reach that level, then clearly jumping to a new game was a very bad decision for his aoe career.
About aoe4, even with the patches during the week it has like <9k players at peak hours, it recovered like 1k or 2k players compared to previous month but the game is basically dead outside european time zone and all of that because it has had +200k usd injected in less than 2 months.
About viper well, take a look:View attachment 199660
it took like 4 hours after his twit to get any like, the reactions are below his average from any previous live announcement, 3 months ago it was full with aoe2 fans suggesting to play aoe2, but now they don't even bother asking him to play aoe2 anymore, taking bad decisions affects everyone, i am pretty sure t90 must be regretting his switch to fb, no HC or any big event means less youtube views which means less money, less exposure, even if fb is covering his old twitch salary he has been losing big money on youtube, i mean lel content and laddering doesn't have the same views compared to big events.
I think they took really bad decisions thinking in the short term, all aoe2 content creators who left for aoe4 or fb have lost their big viewership, damaging the community and the game's perception, i am wondering if those viewers that lost their rock star will be gone forever or just switch to another game, i guess we will see it by the q4 of this year when fb contracts expires.
