That massive video game collection he owned before ever becoming the angry video game nerd flies in the face of him not loving games, and it was also impossible to predict that a funny video he made on the internet 2 decades ago would later become his main source of income.
Calling his persona a "ruse" is also odd because it was rarely meant to be taken very seriously to begin with. Its clearly a show for entertainment, he's not a game journalist or anything.
As for his autobiography, I dunno anything about that, but I know he's got plenty of content on YT already talking about his AVGN stuff as it is and how important it was to him, it seems like people just want the guy to be 100% AVGN all the time.
He also is playing games he hasn't played before, and seems to be enjoying them in some cases. You can't watch something like his Earthbound video and say he doesn't at least still have some fondness for video games after that, and that was a video made after what most people would consider his decline.
Eh, I disagree with some of that.

It's bullshit. Dude showed up at Magfest a couple years back as a normal attendee. Just one more face in a sea of people who love video games.
