I don't even remember what they were all about. When Machinima exploded they got a bit of a spike in popularity, but I can't remember a single thing they've done.
There was also RWBY, some kind of anime-esque action series with cell shaded 3D characters. I never saw it, but it's got a large following. I heard the quality went down the toilet after the guy who started it died from an allergic reaction to a routine medical procedure, also they fired Vic Mignogna from a voice role after the cancel crusade was launched against him. Mainly what I knew that company for was their video game content. They got ahead on that kind of thing, their videos 10 years ago easily got a million views a piece. But they started self censoring, brought in 'talent' that checked diversity boxes, and their views steadily dropped. Last I checked their videos barely pulled 10k views.
That's the cover story, because the real one makes a certain person look really bad and they didn't want to be cancelled.
He was getting fucked up because his girlfriend demanded her cat live with them despite his severe allergy to them, and the hospital visit went south because he was heavily medicated trying to control his daily major allergic reactions. Its not super clear the exact chain of events because the story is extremely controlled to protect his girlfriend. That's why literally everyone says its a "simple medical procedure" in that exact NPC way.
So saying he died of "routine medical stuff" is like saying a kid died tragically in surgery while ignoring he was only in surgery because he was fucking shot.
why the fuck did he accept that instead of just breaking up with a girlfriend who clearly didn't care about his wellbeing. ?
Monty was one of those pure goodhearted naive creative types that do incredible work but are easy to take advantage of
Because he was a literal cinnamon roll too pure for this ugly world.
