>>102123565>IronLung and TroonzayaPutting aside your infantile inability to understand that some "people" like their personalities (a shit personality is different from NO personality), Lung is a fucking opera singer.
>AsmongoldFormer professional high-level WoW player. I don't even know this from watching his content, I know it because one of my buddies is the kind of oldfag who used to shit on "Wrathbabies" in the 2000s and that's how he's familiar with him.
>PikerAstroturfed + Leftypol slop grifter. If you're a seething leftoid desperate for emotional validation of your facile opinions, he's one of a handful of people you could go to, and the backing he gets from TPTB certainly helps too. It's an evil talent, and I personally find him insufferable, but if you're a spiteful mutant then it makes sense that you would find him appealing.
>You have failed to do thisWrong.
>You cannot do this because I am correctWrong again.
YOU were the one who failed to prove that "playing the game" ALONE is what brings numbers, which is why you're backpedaling and whining about shifting the goalposts in place of making an argument that holds up under even the slightest bit of scrutiny.
>Any counterexample is "irrelevant" because I'm a retarded first-order thinker who lacks object permanence>Every example has had extensive corporate backing dedicated to making them famousMore like a brand and extensive corporate meddling and interference for the last several years, which you would know if you watched streams.
All of which is now gone... and yet, they STILL retained their fame and popularity despite explicitly refusing to play the game by going off on their own as indies.
>so fucking what?SO, you inbred homunculus, that proves that corporate backing on its own is a fucking meme and that they were reliant on their own merits to not just draw people in, but actually KEEP people interested, let alone DEVOTED. Oh wait, my bad, that fact completely shits all over your case and is therefore automatically "irrelevant" because it has to be for your cope narrative to stay intact, right?
Your only response to all of this is to stick your head in the sand, pretend the substantive points I've raised that poke holes in your narrative just don't exist, play dumb and humiliate yourself by asking us to believe that you are so fucking stupid that you can't see how success stories disproportionate to how much or how well a given talent "played the game" are relevant to your thesis that "playing the game" = success. Because you know you can't formulate an actual coherent counterargument, because your whole case is nonsense upon stilts.
