I am extremely MEH on companies hiring randoms like Rip just because he's involved in the scene or worse, streamers like Shroud.
Maybe with the right guidance and leadership these guys can have meaningful contribution to a team but if you just give them big job titles and actual power, it's bound to be a disaster. Pros are pros for a reason and these boys aint it.
You may say oh no but anon, I heard success stories! Sure it's not impossible, probably most famously when a Blizzard exec hired Jeff Kaplan, better known as Tigole, to help build World of Warcraft because they played EverQuest together all those years ago. Or recent examples of Expedition 33 devs apparently finding their writer on leddit of all places. But if you look closely, these people contributed to projects with scopes and systems way beyond just raw gameplay. Rip (and recently failures like Shroud) being brought on board to consult on games that are 99% pure gameplay (fighters, shooter) is just dumb and pointless. They aint sayhing anything new or smart.
