Expedition 33: The Endless Tower – Why the endgame content is worth it

One of the last major dungeons in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 is the Endless Tower. We will reveal whether it’s worth it – and what you need to accomplish there.

Update, March 26, 2026: The article has been reviewed and is up to date.

After you have gained the ability to fly with Esquie all over the world in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, you unlock a lot of new areas. Some of them only have single items, but behind others are really long dungeons and tough challenges. One of the most demanding is the “Endless Tower”.

Where can you find the tower? You can discover the tower all the way in the west of the world map. On the map, it looks like a large golden circle with a “C” inside. You need to fly a little upwards to find a landing spot. Once you have entered the tower, you will first be in the entrance area. Keep moving “back” in the image to get from the entrance area to the actual tower.

Clair Obscur Tower Endless
The endless tower is hard to overlook.

When should you enter the tower? In principle, the tower can be entered from level 45+, as soon as you have completed Act 2 and Esquie has learned to fly. Some fights require very high character stats, and a level of 80+ is definitely recommended.

However, you can also simply return to the tower “every few levels” and see if you are equipped for the current fight. It is not necessary to complete the tower in one go, and it is suitable as a “breaktime” activity if you only want to complete a few quick fights.

As always in Expedition 33, you can generally succeed in all fights regardless of your character stats if you are true masters of dodging and parrying. If that is not the case, a high level is clearly recommended.

What do you do in the Endless Tower? The Endless Tower offers very little in terms of exploration, but a lot for everyone who enjoys the combat system. In the central room of the tower, you will find a screen that you can interact with. Here you can complete fights one by one and unlock new fights. These are divided into 10 levels, each with 3 challenges. On the 11th level, there are still 3 particularly tough boss challenges waiting for you. In total, there are 33 fights that you can master.

You unlock the fights one by one. After “Level 1, Fight 1”, you can tackle “Level 1, Fight 2”, and so on. Skipping fights is not possible.

Endless Tower in Expedition 33 – All important rewards

What rewards are there in the tower? The rewards are relatively generous, considering that you hardly have to travel. Each successful fight rewards you with a Lumina point and Chroma catalysts, which you can use to upgrade your weapons. In addition, at the end of a level, so after every third fight, there is an additional reward. This could be a powerful Picto, but also new hairstyles.

Here we list all special rewards you can get from the toughest fights:

Level in the towerRecommended levelReward
Level 1, Challenge 350Picto: Greater Defenceless
Level 2, Challenge 355Picto: Energising Rush
Level 3, Challenge 360Clea hairstyle for Lune
Level 4, Challenge 365Time Tint
Hairstyle: Double braided white hair for Maelle
Level 5, Challenge 370Picto: Charging Critical
Hairstyle: Rebellious white hair for Lune
Level 6, Challenge 375Picto: Critical Weakness
Hairstyle: Messy white bun for Sciel
Level 7, Challenge 380Picto: Fueling Break

Level 8, Challenge 385Empowering Tint
Level 9, Challenge 390Picto: Rush on Powerful
Hairstyle Expedition White for Verso
Level 10, Challenge 390Picto: Greater Powerless
Level 11, Challenge 390+Clair outfit for Verso
Perfect Chroma catalyst
5 Lumina points (instead of 1)

If you manage to complete all fights, then speak with the ghostly woman next to the portrait afterwards. She will grant you the new “Ponytail (Maelle)” hairstyle. Then you can wear Maelle’s classic hairstyle with white hair color – a real eye-catcher.

What else do you need to know about the tower? The Endless Tower is completely optional. You don’t have to feel any pressure to complete it, and finishing the tower has no impact on the story. You don’t even have to approach the tower before the last story mission in Lumiere. You can return after the end of the story and still master all the challenges that you haven’t completed yet.

If you are defeated in a challenge, it is not a game over by the way. You simply get the message that the challenge has failed and you can try it again immediately without having to load a save.

The Endless Tower is just one of many secrets hidden by the developers in Clair Obscur: Expedition 33. Some of them are even hidden right at the beginning of the game, so you can miss them forever in the first 10 minutes.

A new anime shows what Harry Potter would have looked like from Disney

For some time now, various animes have been available on the streaming platform Disney+. However, this year, a new anime that is officially connected to the Disney universe will also be released. A normal guy suddenly finds himself in a world inspired by classic villains.

What anime is it about? Twisted Wonderland is actually a Japan-exclusive mobile game that was released in 2020. Just a year later, the manga followed, and now, in 2025, an anime adaptation is set to follow.

The protagonist of the series lands in another world full of magic through a mysterious mirror. He suddenly finds himself in a school full of wizards, divided into different houses. Instead of Hogwarts with Slytherin or Gryffindor, there are houses based on Disney villains like Scar or Jafar.

You can find a trailer for the series here:

Twisted Wonderland – Trailer for the anime adaptation of the popular Disney game

An Isekai Anime with Disney Influence

What kind of anime is Twisted Wonderland? Although it has an isekai premise, the setting is strongly reminiscent of Hogwarts. This is not only due to the magical school but also because of the division into houses. The different houses are based on villains from classic Disney films. Among them are figures like Scar from The Lion King, Ursula from The Little Mermaid, or Jafar from Aladdin.

Anime fans might find the designs of the characters familiar, as Yana Toboso is known for that. The manga artist is primarily known for the Black Butler manga. Recently, a new anime season of that series was also released, featuring an interesting German pronunciation.

So far, 3 seasons of the anime series have been confirmed, each focusing on different houses of the school. The first season is titled Episode of Heartslabyul. This house is based on the Red Queen from Alice in Wonderland.

When is the anime set to be released? The first season is set to premiere this year, in October 2025, on Disney+. When the other seasons, Episode of Savanaclaw and Episode of Octavinelle, will be released is still unknown.

Classic Disney villains continue to fascinate many fans to this day. There’s a good reason why films like the Descendants series are popular. Disney is aware of this and markets the iconic characters in various media. This is also true in their theme parks: After successful books, series, and films, Disney’s villains are getting their own villain land.

Tanzverbot streams to 150,000 viewers on Twitch, says: ‘I only have the internet’

The streamer Kilian “Tanzverbot” Heinrich returned to Twitch in April 2025 after a long break and spoke about his difficult relationship with the streamer “QuiteLola”. Now he is reaching record numbers, but he cannot enjoy it.

Update 07.05.2025, 16:15 – In the stream, Tanzverbot complains that the promised statement from Adam “SkylineTV” Wolke is taking its time. Yesterday, the long-awaited video finally appeared, we reported about it on MeinMMO: Adam SkylineTV finally speaks out about the allegations from Tanzverbot, expresses remorse, and makes clear who is to blame for everything

What is the situation? The streamer Tanzverbot had been absent from Twitch for almost half a year; he had really wanted to dive back in to pay off his high tax debts. In the meantime, he occasionally reached out to his fans, but the updates sounded concerning.

On April 19, 2025, the big comeback on YouTube took place: Wrapped in a green bathrobe, Tanzverbot spoke about his turbulent relationship with the streamer Lola. He said that the relationship had “broken” him and robbed him of a lot of will to live.

The topic spread like wildfire in the German YouTube and Twitch community. Everyone who has a name in the influencer scene commented in some way, and none other than MontanaBlack and Knossi turned out to be the voices of reason.

In a stream on May 1, Tanzverbot revisited the topic. He expressed a desire for more honesty from the parties involved in the dispute and also talked about how he feels about the situation now.

Tanzverbot says: If he slips again, he has to stop

That was the stream: Tanzverbot reached a peak of 150,000 viewers simultaneously – making it the largest stream of the year on German Twitch (via SullyGnome). For the streamer, however, this is a dilemma. He says: In fact, he didn’t even want to go online, he had to really struggle with himself.

However, he wants to stay engaged, not “sink” again. Taking one or two days off is still okay for Tanzverbot. But if it becomes more, one gets back into such a cycle: “Screw it, yeah, next week, next week.” He never wants that again.

The streamer says: “If I screw up again, then that’s it for me, because I just can’t handle it anymore. If you don’t live this damn internet stuff, if you don’t live streaming, then you shouldn’t do it. Then you have to stop. If I can’t handle it mentally anymore, then you have to stop with it.”

The VoD of the stream is no longer available, but a clip ended up on Tanzverbot’s highlight channel on YouTube:

However, the success seems to have a bitter aftertaste for Tanzverbot. Many are using the donation’s voice read-out function on Twitch to troll him. At the same time, he is also grateful for the money; he needs it. But he seems to view the fact that people are on his side with mixed feelings.

Because he actually doesn’t deserve any sympathy, says Tanzverbot. What he accuses Lola of, he has also done to someone else. He is really just about getting everything off his chest: “But on the other hand: What else should I do? I only have the internet. So, the only constant that has always been there, you know what I mean?”

Sitting in the stream, swallowing everything inside him, and not saying “what’s up,” he cannot do it; that is oppressive for him.

In his stream on May 4, the numbers did drop somewhat; nevertheless, Tanzverbot is currently one of the biggest streamers on German Twitch with his public processing. Now it remains to be seen whether he can actually pull himself together and stay in the game this time.

His great wish, says Tanzverbot, is for an honest statement from Lola or Adam aka SkylineTV, in which at least one of them admits what really happened between them, as they have denied having an affair so far. We have already covered the statement from the streamer for you here: Twitch: Tanzverbot says that the new statement from Lola is a slap in the face

WoW launches ‘Turbo Boost’, brings more loot and stronger items

In World of Warcraft, a strong boost will soon begin, which will particularly help endgame fans. The item level increases, and with it, the power of the characters.

What is better than the strongest items in the game? Of course – even better items! This is exactly what World of Warcraft seems to have set as a goal. For the first time in the history of the game, there is a “Turbo Boost” event, where the loot rules are revised and maximized. You will not only receive stronger items but can also purchase targeted loot through Dinare without relying on luck.

Start video
WoW: Xal’atath and the Destruction of Dalaran

When does the event start? The Turbo Boost begins after the maintenance on May 14, 2025, so already next week. From then on, you can benefit from many innovations.

The Turbo Boost will likely remain active until the end of the second season.

What changes? Overall, there are mainly four major changes:

Weekly quests for confusing tokens: Every week, you will receive a quest requiring you to defeat 4 bosses from the Liberation of Lorenhall to obtain the tokens. Upon first completion of this quest, you will receive 3 fragments (which make one token), and all further weekly quests will grant 1 fragment. This way, you will receive an additional token in week 4 and week 7.

The tokens can be exchanged for any loot from the heroic raid Liberation of Lorenhall. If you also defeat the bosses on Mythic, then you can select Mythic loot as well.

Crafted gear becomes stronger: Also new is that crafted gear can receive an additional 6 item levels. To do this, you must rework already crafted gear and equip it with a reinforcement matrix. You can purchase this from the enchanting goods vendor. The item level will thus increase to a maximum of 681.

Hero and Mythic items become stronger: The best items in the game will get a little better. Because these items will receive two additional upgrade levels, allowing you to enhance the best items even further. You will need the corresponding emblems for this, but acquiring them is no problem: because the cap has been lifted, you can collect as many tokens as you want.

The depths are strengthened: The depths will also receive some innovations, as some depths will soon be “overloaded”. There will be new challenges, such as additional traps or minibosses, but also new equipment that you can improve a little each week to be able to use new abilities in the depths.

What do you think of this type of event? A cool thing to revitalize WoW in the middle of the season and encourage players to tackle tougher content? Or is it rather a shame that one can only achieve full strength late in a season?
Meanwhile, one thing in WoW is really annoying…

„Threatening content“ – A parent guide warns precisely about the dad of German Twitch

A parenting guide has reviewed the content of a German YouTuber and Twitch streamer and finds it dangerous. This concerns a true veteran in the realm of Let’s Plays.

Who does the parenting guide warn about? The parenting guide FLIMMO regularly deals with content and assesses how suitable these contents are for children. In a contribution from December 2024, they write on their website about the YouTuber and Twitch streamer Erik “Gronkh” Range.

He is a true YouTube veteran, having uploaded his first videos in 2010 and shaping an entire generation with his Let’s Plays. He is active not only on his YouTube channel, which has over 5 million subscribers, but also on Twitch, where he has over 1.7 million followers and an average of 19,178 viewers per stream (via sullygnome).

His content revolves around gaming, but he also offers reactions to current videos in his livestreams. FLIMMO partially classifies this content as “threatening”.

We introduce you to Gronkh and his journey in our video:

Start video
Gronkh, the man with the voice – Career and life of Germany’s most famous Let’s Player

“Inappropriate for children”

What does FLIMMO write? FLIMMO categorizes Gronkh and his content under the red color in their traffic light classification. This indicates that the content “can overwhelm, unsettle, or scare” and thus they label it as “inappropriate for children” (via FLIMMO).

As a positive aspect, FLIMMO considers that Gronkh introduces his hobbies and thus gives children ideas for their own leisure activities. However, there are three negative points:

  • Product recommendations: Since Gronkh also advertises in his Let’s Plays or Twitch streams, FLIMMO finds this problematic. Children should not always be able to recognize that it is advertising.
  • Inappropriate media content: Gronkh often plays games rated for ages 16 or 18, which are not suitable for children.
  • Scary content: “Scary or threatening content is an integral part of the videos” (via FLIMMO). This can frighten children.

How does the community react? Gronkh’s community finds amusement in a Reddit post about FLIMMO’s description but has contextual words on the topic:

  • Primary-Coat-4726 describes how he handles it with his children (via Reddit): “I watch Gronkh with my kids. But it’s more like storytime than Sons of the Forest. I also watch other YouTubers with them and judge for myself what fits when.”
  • Sascha_Spi understands the classification (via Reddit): “Essentially, that’s true. Schedule 1, Sons of the Forest, etc. are games that shouldn’t necessarily be watched by every 10-year-old. And the humor is not really tailored to children either.”
  • CromCruach1982 jokes (via Reddit): “”Scary or threatening content…” Gronkh doesn’t even have the facecam on in every video.”

Does Gronkh have such content? Since Gronkh also plays horror games and livestreams the Let’s Plays or uploads them afterward to his YouTube channel, the caution of the parenting guide is justified. When the YouTuber plays games rated 16 or 18, it is, of course, inappropriate.

Even if Gronkh often underscores horror games and similar with a humorous touch through his comments, they remain scary games that are not suitable for children. The influence of YouTuber and Twitch streamer Gronkh is enormous. So enormous that he shapes newly released games with his earlier Let’s Plays: “I had to laugh so hard” – German YouTuber Gronkh is so legendary that he shapes new games

“Has Gronkh played this yet?” – A horror game on Steam turns you into a hermit, but you’re not alone on your farm

In a new horror game on Steam, you retreat to a lonely farm in the mountains. And if that isn’t horror enough: Well, at night, you are not truly alone.

Which game is being referred to? We are talking about We Harvest Shadows, the latest game from David Wehle. It is an unusual combination of farming simulation and psychological horror.

There is still no fixed release date for We Harvest Shadows. However, there is a demo on Steam. You can already try out the game – it only costs you time (and electricity).

A trailer for We Harvest Shadows can be seen here:

Start video
We Harvest Shadows: The Official Reveal Trailer

Alone on a farm in the mountains – or not?

What is the game about? You are Garrett, escaping the city to spend the rest of your days as a hermit. He believes the world would be better off without him. You find refuge in an abandoned farm in the wilderness of the Appalachians.

There, you spend your days doing classic work: you maintain your house, take care of your livestock, and grow your own food. In between, you explore the surrounding area. But if you thought you could just relax at night, you are mistaken.

At night, We Harvest Shadows transforms into a psychological horror game, inspired by P.T. and What Remains of Edith Finch. As it seems, you are not entirely alone on the farm, as something appears to be lurking in the shadows. And it is following you.

We Harvest Shadows is quite an unusual genre mix. However, it seems to be perfect for the YouTuber and Twitch streamer Gronkh – at least, that is what his fans think. They are already asking under a TikTok post introducing the game, “Has Gronkh played the demo yet?”

The answer to that, by the way, is yes, he has.

Streamer leaks secret beta version of the new Steam game from Valve, open beta possible soon

The new game from Valve on Steam is currently in development and is accompanied by a testing phase. However, you can only play the MOBA shooter Deadlock if you are invited to do so by other players. The latest leaks from a streamer and Reddit users show that a public beta could soon become a reality.

Which streamer is involved? The streamer and YouTuber Deathy is a well-known creator in the Deadlock scene. Together with his colleague, YouTuber AverageJonas, he wanted to stream a tier list of all heroes in Deadlock. Deathy accidentally was in the client of a secret test version of the MOBA shooter, which is intended for creators and selected players. He quickly restarted the stream and deleted the recording.

What was leaked in the secret version? After the streamer opened the hero overview and wanted to create the tier list, the entire stream saw the names and images of 10 new heroes. Most have already a complete design, and only a few use a placeholder as a model. A screenshot of it was uploaded on Reddit.

Open beta could start as early as summer

Why could an open beta be possible soon? As early as spring 2025, there were leaks (via reddit.com) about an event in the summer of that same year. The Brazilian streamer “frttt” mentioned that Valve had already sent out invitations for this event. 

Another leak (via reddit.com) that appeared a month later showed an image with the text “The Continental – Deadlock Championship” and the date “June 19”, which could indicate the approximate time frame of the event. Back in 2011, Valve launched the open beta of their MOBA hit DotA 2 with a tournament at Gamescom.

This is Deadlock – The new MOBA shooter from Valve

There are more leaks

What else has been leaked? After several posts from different players about various leaks, the Reddit user NEZIsAnIdiot compiled all current leaks about Deadlock in a Reddit post:

  • The next big update is planned for summer (matches previous leaks about the event in summer)
  • 10 completely new heroes, most of whom already have full designs
  • New models for already playable heroes
  • Gameplay overhaul of some heroes
  • The item system is set to receive a slight overhaul

It is important to keep in mind that this information is merely rumors and the veracity is unknown. 

What does the community say about the leaks? Many players in the Deadlock community are excited about the leaks. The map update was leaked a full two weeks before release in the Deadlock subreddit and turned out to be true. 

The user NotRiceProfile summarized it well in a Reddit comment: “It’s crazy that Deadlock has become so popular that they are now developing a separate private alpha version for high-tier players and content creators. First, there was the leak about the three lanes, and now this. I wonder what else wild stuff they are trying out”

Another Reddit user named AdBackground6578 wrote the following on Reddit:

This has definitely revived all the hype for the rest of the year if it’s real. All the new character designs from the Hero Lab look too finished for something experimental. It doesn’t make it unbelievable, but it is strange.

By May 2025, there were only two major updates

In early January 2025, Valve developer Yoshi announced on the official Discord that updates would not be released as usual every two weeks, but irregularly. The updates are also supposed to be larger in scope. 

However, by May 2025, the players of Deadlock had only received two of these major updates. The hero update in January, which added four new heroes to the current roster and the map update in February (via Steam). Since then, there have only been smaller balance patches. 

Deadlock has a sufficient number of players, but it does not reach the hype of 2024, when over a hundred thousand players were online simultaneously. MeinMMO has already created a tier list for all 26 heroes currently available in the MOBA shooter and shows their weaknesses and strengths: Deadlock: Tier List of all 26 Heroes

„I don’t want anyone to feel ripped off“ – John Cena explains why he is leaving WWE after his record year

Apparently, American wrestler and actor John Cena lives by the motto one should stop when it’s most beautiful,” because right after his last championship, the 17-time world champion wants to say goodbye to WWE.

What did John Cena announce? The wrestler has become the 17-time world champion of WWE this year, thus also holding the record. However, this did not prevent him from making a certain decision: John Cena has decided that it is time to end his career as a wrestler.

The decision was not made in haste, but has developed over the years, as the wrestler stated in an interview with ESPN: “I had a lot of time to think about it. I started to reduce my full-time schedule in 2017. Now it’s the year 2025, so I had more than half a decade to think about how to proceed.”

In the trailer for the series Peacemaker, you can see John Cena as the titular hero:

John Cena Keeps His Promise

How did he come to this decision? John Cena reports in the interview with ESPN that this decision simply stands from a promise he made to the fans and himself at the beginning of his career: “I made a solid promise in my 20s: ‘If I am a step too slow, I will walk away. One must know when their own run is over, and leave with dignity. And I feel that I am a step too slow.”

In response to the interviewer’s (Daniel Cormier from ESPN) reaction, who still sees John Cena as a very good wrestler, the wrestler replies gratefully but honestly:

I really appreciate that, but I think a lot of what you saw in my 20s was strength and enthusiasm – and then wisdom slowly creeps in. (…) When you look at the performers today, it’s physically extremely demanding. And I simply don’t want someone to buy a ticket and feel cheated.

John Cena in an interview with ESPN (via YouTube)

What does his future look like now? Just because John Cena is saying goodbye to his career at WWE doesn’t mean he is completely retiring. He will continue to appear as an actor in films and series.

You may already know him from Fast & Furious 9, as Peacemaker from The Suicide Squad, and you will be able to see him alongside Idris Elba in the action film “Heads of State” on Amazon Prime starting July 2, 2025.

Therefore, John Cena will definitely not disappear from the scene. If you want to know more about his acting performances in films and series, you can find out more about the series that shares his role as Peacemaker.

Expedition 33: Unlock all skills of Esquie

In Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 you can travel faster when you upgrade your Esquie. We reveal how to access all upgrades and what they bring.

To explore the vast world of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, it’s useful to have a “mount”. This becomes available quite early, although your mount is more like a full-fledged member of the group.

For Esquie not only clears dangers from your path, but also makes travel much more enjoyable and often has wise advice for you… or he’s just a bit scatterbrained. Our guide shows you how to unlock all of Esquie’s abilities.

Who is Esquie? Early on in your journey, you’ll meet the incredibly powerful yet somewhat clumsy being Esquie. He serves as your mount and can get you across the world map significantly faster than a normal march on foot.

If you want to move quickly across the world map, you cannot bypass Esquie—and it’s also essential for the story to treat the oversized, lovable creature well to access new areas.

Esquie in Expedition 33: All abilities and their locations

Esquie is practically omnipotent, after all, he is a legendary being. However, to carry other people, he needs special stones—which unfortunately, he’s lost again. Every time you bring him one of these special stones, he gains a new ability, expanding the exploration possibilities. In total, he has 5 different abilities that you can unlock throughout the game.

Riding (Standard)

You automatically unlock the normal Esquie in the story once you leave the Gestral village behind and visit Esquie in his nest. The “normal” Esquie can travel over land and destroy small bluish stone surfaces to access new areas.

Swimming

Being able to swim is the first new ability of Esquie that you will also inevitably unlock during the story. You only need to complete the events of Act 1, which occurs after visiting the “Stone Wave Cliffs”. This is right after you meet Esquie.

Once you’ve done that, Esquie can sink into the water at beaches in the game and travel through the sea to reach new shores. This immediately opens up many new areas, some of which can be quite deadly.

Destroying Corals

In the sea, your path is repeatedly blocked by corals that make further progress impossible. During Act 2, you will head to “Old Lumiere”. After completing the story in this area, Esquie receives the new stone from your group members.

Now, you are able to destroy corals and swim right through them. This opens up a large part of the world map, and you can basically land at any shore. Also, keep in mind that many areas and levels may still be too difficult and indicate “Danger!”, warning that you will only find a quick end to the expedition there.

Flying

Flying is also unlocked during the game’s storyline, but much later. You need to defeat the two Axons (Siren and Visages) in Act 2 and then complete the events at the Monolith. During the final battle there, Verso returns Esquie’s flight stone.

After that, you have the freedom to explore the entire world by flying. There are numerous flying islands with small bonus areas, but also many hidden places located on rises or mountains. Many of the chromatic bosses also become available only now. It’s worth it to explore the entire map thoroughly.

Diving

The last ability of Esquie is diving. To be able to dive, you must regularly speak with Esquie at the camp in Act 3 to increase his relationship level. Once you reach level 5, you receive a side quest where you need to retrieve a stone from Francois. Verso must win a duel against Francois here. The fight is relatively simple, as long as you manage to parry Francois’s spells.

Once you can dive, you can explore the sparkling spots in the water that grant many Lumina points. Additionally, there’s a new area that you can also dive into—but you should only venture there at a very high level (level 70+) because one of the nastiest bosses in the entire game is waiting there.

What happens to Esquie in a “New Game+”? If you start a “New Game+” after the end of the game, Esquie’s abilities will be reset, and you will unlock them again throughout the story—with one exception.

If you obtained them during the first playthrough, Esquie retains his ability to dive. This means that you can immediately explore the glowing spots right after acquiring the swimming ability and collect additional Lumina points.

Esquie is by no means the only big secret in Expedition 33. The developers have really gone all out and introduced a lot of hidden content into the game—from the very first minute. You can even overlook 3 special secrets in the first 10 minutes of the game.

For 3 years, Tyler1 has despised the nicest guy on YouTube, now he plays LoL with him

Tyler1 became famous with his explosive content about League of Legends. He is now active in other areas as well, but he occasionally returns to the Rift. Currently, he is back with his beloved nemesis Ludwig Ahgren.

Tyler1 and Ludwig have a history. In 2022, the streamer Ninja hosted a LoL event, where the ambitious Tyler1 had to play on a team with Ludwig Ahgren, who was a beginner at the time. Instead of being courteous, Tyler1 humiliated his teammate on stage. He called him total weakpoint because he couldn’t hear and supposedly lost the match single-handedly.

A back-and-forth ensued between the two. Ludwig tried to get closer to Tyler1 while he reacted with disgust and anger. To earn Tyler1’s respect, Ludwig reached Platinum in LoL in 2025 and reluctantly received praise.

Now, the two have played LoL together, and even though Tyler1 yells at Ludwig, he had fun. He even wishes for a simple feature for LoL.

Learn more about Tyler1 in this video:

How the Worst Troll from Twitch Became the Face of League of Legends

Tyler1 has fun, even though he hates Ludwig

How was their joint gaming experience? In their streams, you can see how different they are. Ludwig is calm, nice, and tries to learn, while Tyler1 is typically explosive and delivers his tips in a less polite manner. Conflicts occasionally arise when one disapproves of what the other is doing.

There are moments when Tyler1 expresses his anger, as you can see in this Twitch clip.

After the defeat, Ludwig says they probably need to play one more. Tyler1 laughs and yells: I hate you so much. He specifies again that he hates how he talks and plays. Ludwig just laughs, and despite the outburst, Tyler1 decides to play another match.

Is he enjoying it? In a later clip (via Twitch), he talks again about the matches and wishes for a voice chat for regular LoL matches as well. Playing with this kind of communication is simply fun, even if you are playing with the biggest bastard in gaming history.

Will there be an official voice chat in LoL? So far, there is only an in-game voice chat when you are in a party before starting a game. With random teammates, this is not possible yet. While some individuals from Riot have mentioned it (via Reddit), there has been no official announcement yet.

Theoretically, it is possible. Valorant, also from Riot Games, has a voice chat for the entire team of a match. Although such a voice chat has many advantages, it can also promote toxic behavior: 3 Twitch streamers impersonate women in voice chat, shocked by the reactions: “It takes away the joy of playing”

GTA 6: You should be excited about these graphical features on PS5 and Xbox Series X, but at a high price

GTA 6 has introduced a new trailer. Here you can primarily see story elements and admire the beautiful graphics. But what lies behind the pretty graphics that you will be able to admire on the PS5 and Xbox Series X starting in 2026?

What engine does GTA 6 use? Rockstar relies on the so-called “Rockstar Advanced Game Engine” for GTA 6, often abbreviated as RAGE. The engine was developed by Rockstar San Diego in collaboration with other developers, first showcased in 2006, and was already used in GTA 5.

The details and content shown so far in the 2nd trailer for GTA 6 are already impressive and show how stunning the graphics of GTA 6 could be at launch. However, this could come at a price when the game releases on PS5 and Xbox Series X.

GTA 6 relies on the engine of its predecessor, which is said to be significantly improved

What does GTA 6 offer in terms of graphics and technology? Ryan Woods, Principal Engine Programmer at Rockstar Games, explained back then (via Reddit.com) that RAGE has been significantly improved and is expected to utilize state-of-the-art graphics technologies. This includes advanced ray tracing for realistic lighting, reflections, and shadows (such as Ray Traced Global Illumination).

With the improved lighting, characters and environments immediately appear much more vibrant and believable, especially under changing lighting conditions.

Another feature that is expected to be implemented is “procedural object generation.” The advantage of this is that developers do not have to place each tree and bush individually; instead, they can leave the work to the engine. Many objects can thus be placed randomly, making the game feel more alive than if developers placed everything manually in the game.

A third point that GTA 6 is likely to utilize is the built-in SSD in the gaming consoles: The SSD technology in both consoles enables fast loading times and smooth world streaming, which reduces loading times and improves gameplay flow.

Beautiful graphics, but limited FPS on PS5 and Xbox?

What is the problem? Beautiful graphics typically come at a price, which is high performance demands. It is not unlikely that Rockstar will limit the frame rate (FPS) in GTA 6 to ensure stable performance.

GTA 6 focuses on a highly immersive open world and aims to push the boundaries of open-world experiences with a densely packed, realistic urban environment, featuring complex NPC behaviors and simulations, which will heavily tax the CPU.

30 FPS is considered likely, as the dense open world and complex ray tracing calculations will place a heavy load on the CPU. The PS5 Pro could potentially offer even better graphics than the Xbox Series X due to its more powerful GPU, but remains limited on the CPU side. The PS5 Pro provides only about 10% more performance regarding the CPU compared to the standard PS5.

Players on the standard PS5 and Xbox Series X should not expect 60 FPS. A recent example of such limitations is Dragon’s Dogma 2: The game also features a large open world and relies on a strong CPU, which caused the game to run poorly at launch on the consoles, and players had to deal with significant limitations.

Those who want to game have three options: mobile gaming on the phone, on a gaming PC, or on a gaming console. Consoles are especially considered a price tip, as you can play at high settings for relatively little money over the years. But exactly that price advantage might now be lost: PS5 and Xbox are currently losing their most important purchase argument against the gaming PC

A class is currently dominating Path of Exile 2 and the developers are now revealing how bad it is

The current season of Path of Exile 2 is already almost a month old. The developers have taken this opportunity to share data from the past weeks with the players. One class stands out in particular.

Why are the developers revealing this information? The developers of Path of Exile 2 have shared data about the current season “Dawn of the Hunt”. The season initially started off rocky on April 4, 2025, but then received many patches that largely fixed the issues. Recently, the developers addressed the lack of loot with patch 0.2.0G.

The season is now already a month old, which the developers are using as an opportunity to publish a statistic that shows what is currently popular and what is currently unpopular. One class stands out in particular.

Here you can watch the trailer for the current season of Path of Exile 2:

Start video
Path of Exile 2 presents gameplay trailer with the new Hunter class

The Amazon dominates everything

What kind of class is this? In Path of Exile 2, in addition to character classes, there are also associated subclasses, the so-called Ascendancy classes. These have a significant impact on one’s skill build. Currently, the Amazon is particularly popular. 23.78% of the players of Path of Exile 2 have chosen this subclass.

This likely has several reasons. Firstly, it belongs to the new Hunter. This class was introduced with the new season, and players wanted to see what could be done with it. It also fits that the new subclass “Lich” ranks second with 12.27%.

On the other hand, the OP and meta build of the Lightning Spear Hunter is currently widespread. Here, players throw javelins at enemies that trigger a chain reaction of lightning upon impact, resulting in a high clear speed. The build also benefits from speed, which is generally considered a good attribute.

What else have the developers revealed? While the most popular Ascendancy classes mainly consist of newcomers, the “Acolyte of Chayula” with 0.74% and the “Chronomancer” with 1.32% are particularly unpopular among players.

Interesting are also the statistics about deaths in the game. While there were 185,961,090 deaths recorded in the Standard league in one month, only 291,112 characters died in the Hardcore league during the same period. The hardest boss in the game, the Arbiter of Ash, has been defeated 355,877 times meanwhile.

The new update from Path of Exile 2 did not focus on OP builds, but rather on loot, which had been dropping too rarely for many players before. The developers have tackled the issue and made improvements. What exactly has changed can be found here: New update in Path of Exile 2 drastically changes loot drops throughout the game – the most important patch notes of 0.2.0g

Streamer settles with EA FC 25: ‘TOTS rewards ruin the game’

A well-known streamer is already addressing the Team of the Season (TOTS) in EA FC 25. Especially the rewards in the Weekend League frustrate him – and he is convinced: “It’s ruining the game.”

Which streamer is criticizing? Nick “runthefutmarket”, short “NickRTFM”, is one of the most well-known content creators for EA FC. He has been producing new videos about the football simulator daily for over 8 years. According to Sullygnome, he is among the 5 most watched FC-25 streamers on Twitch in the last six months.

His content is very diverse and ranges from player testing, tactical recommendations to pack openings.

In one of his latest videos on YouTube, NickRTFM complained about the TOTS event in FC 25. He particularly focused on the upgrades from the UT Champions Weekend League rewards.

Why are the rewards ruining the TOTS? One thing in particular seems not well thought out by EA, NickRTFM asserts. In the best upgrades, there are now not only players from one TOTS but from 2. This applies to both the popular red player choice items and the TOTS upgrade packs from the Champions Finals.

The expanded player pool leads to the situation that you would mainly pull the weakest and cheapest players of the respective TOTS. Thus, there is hardly any incentive to achieve a strong outcome in the Weekend League.

After the video, we will show you why NickRTFM might also be statistically correct with his observation.

Start video
Tips for a Perfect Start in EA FC 25 – Ultimate Team

More than half of the reward players worth under 100,000 coins

This is what the player pool of the new Premier League TOTS rewards looks like: Due to the extension of rewards to 2 TOTS, there are 36 players in the player pool:

  • 22 TOTS from the Premier League
  • 14 TOTS from the Barclays Women’s Super League

These players can then be categorized into 4 categories based on their market value and assigned a number of possible TOTS:

  • Category 4: TOTS up to 100,000 coins (20 players)
  • Category 3: TOTS from 115,000 to 500,000 coins (8 players)
  • Category 2: TOTS from 500,000 to one million coins (4 players)
  • Category 1: TOTS over one million coins (4 players)

With 20 players, Category 4, with the cheapest cards, is by far the most represented. It accounts for more than half of all possible TOTS that can be obtained from the rewards. From the coveted Category 1 and 2, there are just 8 players available.

What can we deduce from this? The probability of getting a truly worthwhile TOTS from Category 1 or 2 is low. Even the red player choice items from the Weekend League rewards, where you can choose from up to 5 TOTS, are thus devalued.

Using his Champions Rewards for the Premier League TOTS from FC 24, NickRTFM illustrates why adding the women’s TOTS in the upgrades is said to have ruined the Weekend League rewards:

In FC 24, Nick RTFM pulled cards from his red player choices (limited to 1 TOTS) from the Champions rewards with the Premier League TOTS cards of Saliba, Garnacho, and Díaz cards, all of which cost over 500,000 coins and thus belonged to Category 2 or even 1.

In FC 25, due to the expanded player pool, one would mostly receive cards that are of no value. This is also corroborated by numerous posts on Reddit criticizing the previous TOTS event with its rewards:

Strong TOTS from upgrade packs of league SBCs unlikely

These are the upgrade packs of the league SBC for TOTS: For exchanging 11 rare gold players, you will receive 1 premium league upgrade pack in the Squad Building Challenges (SBCs), which contains 11 gold players (3 of which are rare) from the 1st leagues of men and women of a country.

These packs almost always guaranteed TOTS cards in EA FC and FIFA if you invested enough time in grinding these upgrades and opened many of them. In FC 25, however, the patience of the players is put to a hard test.

Why are strong TOTS unlikely even from league SBCs? According to NickRTFM, adding the women’s league has had negative effects on the SBC packs.

Instead of the already low chance of pulling one of the 13 more valuable TOTS cards from categories 1, 2, or 3 from a pool of around 400 gold professionals from the Premier League, the number of cheap professionals or non-TOTS players in these upgrade packs has further increased. With the inclusion of the women’s league, the player pool expanded to around 560 gold professionals and 20 worthless TOTS from category 4.

As proof, NickRTFM states that he has done 90 league upgrades and only pulled 3 TOTS from the cheapest category. This is a shame for 900 exchanged rare gold cards.

The chance of getting a strong TOTS thus seems to be lower in FC 25 than usual. All the greater will be the joy when one does pull a valuable TOTS card. And all the greater will be the annoyance when one simply gives away a strong TOTS: TOTS in EA FC 25: Player loses 750,000 coins due to typical mistake

Turning your monsters into hundos in Pokémon GO is going to be really demanding

In Pokémon GO there are new unofficial hints about bottle caps. They might require a lot from you.

What are bottle caps? Recently, there have been more and more hints that bottle caps could be added to Pokémon GO. These are already known from the main games and can be used to increase the IV values (Attack, Defense, HP) of your monsters.

Dataminers have now found further hints in the game indicating what you need to do with your monsters to enhance their attributes. This could turn out to be quite challenging.

Important: There is still no official information about this feature. The information comes from so-called datamining that trainers have discovered in the data of Pokémon GO.

Start video
Pokémon GO: What’s in the new Season Powerful and Masterful

Some tricky tasks, one year time

What has been found? In the main games, the enhancement of attributes that can be conducted with bottle caps is called Hyper Training. Various texts regarding this have now been found in Pokémon GO and summarized in a post on Reddit.

The first two texts provide hints about what requirement a monster must meet to even be able to undergo Hyper Training, as well as the maximum time available for it.

According to the datamining, your Pokémon must have at least the Buddy Rank “Good Buddy” in order to perform Hyper Training. Additionally, it seems you have a full year to successfully complete the training with your monster.

Furthermore, some texts have been found indicating that you need to complete various tasks with your Pokémon to perform Hyper Training. Below are some of the tasks that trainer aznknight613 has summarized in his image:

  • Win x battles in the GO Battle League with your apprentice in the group
  • Defeat x Team GO Rocket Grunts with your apprentice in the group
  • Collect x candies while exploring with your apprentice
  • Hatch x eggs while having your apprentice as your buddy

While some of the tasks shouldn’t pose significant problems, others could prove to be quite time-consuming or difficult.

Depending on how many candies need to be found while exploring, this task could take some time. If you have a legendary monster as your buddy, you will need to travel a whopping 20 km for each individual candy.

The battles in the Battle League could also turn out to be quite tough. If you have a monster that does not particularly shine in the Battle League, it might be quite challenging to get the necessary victories. If your monster can only compete in certain leagues like the Master League due to its CP, this could present an additional hurdle.

How high the requirements of the individual tasks will be and how many of them need to be completed is still unknown. Concrete information on this will probably only be available once the feature is officially presented.

You can easily miss an entire story in Baldur’s Gate 3 if you simply stick to the ‘good’ path

In Baldur’s Gate 3, there are countless ways to solve problems and play the game. Most players probably play the role-playing game in a classically “good” way – but miss a lot of the story. This happened to a user who is wondering who everyone is constantly talking about.

This is what happened to the player:

  • On Reddit, a user shares their experiences after playing Baldur’s Gate 3 for the first time. They keep hearing friends talk about Minthara – but didn’t really know who that was themselves.
  • You meet Minthara already in the first act of the game and essentially as an antagonist. However, you can recruit Minthara as a companion.
  • The player apparently didn’t know this – and simply took her out. Thus, they missed the entire story about the Drow and are now wondering if they acted correctly.

Why does this happen so easily? Baldur’s Gate 3 gives you a lot of freedom to solve situations your way. However, the game provides you with certain hints so that you don’t get stuck and always progress at least somewhat.

One of these hints is very unambiguous: You should free the druid Halsin. If you do so, Halsin tells you to kill the goblin leaders. This is the obviously “good” way to play because you are helping the druid and protecting the tiefling refugees.

  • What the game doesn’t tell you is that you can recruit Minthara, for example, by:
  • being outright evil, betraying Halsin and the druids, and overrunning the grove

or by knocking out Minthara with non-lethal attacks to meet her again later.

By the way: Halsin and Minthara are both potential companions in the game. However, they actually exclude each other; you usually recruit only one of the two in Act 2.

Similarly, it can happen that you “miss” Karlach. Because several seemingly good NPCs set you up against her and demand her head. When you first meet her, it’s quite easy to just fight her instead of recruiting her. However, since Karlach is a playable character unlike Minthara, it’s clear that she serves as a companion. Ironically, Minthara and Karlach have a unique interaction.

“Just start over and see what you missed”

The user asks on Reddit whether they did the right thing or if they missed a huge story with Minthara’s death. The community chimes in and explains: That’s completely normal. Probably everyone who goes into the game blindly would just kill Minthara.

The game doesn’t tell you that she is recruitable. They should just start over, knock out Minthara, and take a look at the story – or just be evil.

However, it’s impossible to see everything Baldur’s Gate 3 has to offer in just one playthrough, especially without guides. Many scenes can only be seen if you meet very specific prerequisites, and some of them are simply “failsafes” to get you back on a path that allows you to finish the game.

This is one of the reasons players are still so enthusiastic about the role-playing game after years and sink thousands of hours into Baldur’s Gate 3. They keep discovering new content even now: Players found a secret companion in Baldur’s Gate 3 two years ago and now finally know how to get them.

A new tactical game on Steam promises you looting and leveling in a dark western setting

Nightmare Frontier on Steam combines turn-based tactics and extraction mechanics in a dark Western atmosphere. In the meantime, a lot of looting and leveling happens.

What kind of game is this? Developer Ice Code Games, who is also behind games like Hard West 2 and Rogue Waters, refers to his new game as a “Tactical Extraction Looter”. It is set to be released in the summer of 2025 on Steam, where there is already a shop page.

You can watch the trailer for Nightmare Frontier here:

Start video
Nightmare Frontier: The official trailer for the tactical game on Steam

The American Dream Turns into a Nightmare

What is the game about? In Nightmare Frontier, you reclaim a town plagued by nightmares that have come to life. These nightmares are also called “Dreadweavers”, which could be translated into German as “Schreckensweber”.

 The game places you in the USA of the early 1900s. Visually, it still reminds a lot of the Wild West, just in a darker tone – similar to what you might know from Hunt: Showdown 1896. However, Nightmare Frontier dares to take a more cartoonish look in comparison.

In terms of gameplay, you can expect turn-based tactical battles against the various monsters in the game. You will fight these battles with a group of looters. During the fights, it’s important to use their special abilities wisely. Some examples:

  • One character causes area damage with his shotgun, so he should always have as many enemies in the line of fire as possible.
  • You can shove enemies and deal damage to multiple foes at once. However, they can do the same to you.

Along the way, you collect loot – including new weapons and equipment – and unlock new abilities. You will use a talent tree for this purpose. This way, you improve your characters with each successful encounter.

Currently, extraction games are very much in vogue – at least among game developers. New genre mixes that weren’t previously on the radar are constantly emerging. For instance, a developer is currently working on an action RPG on Steam that mixes Diablo with… Escape from Tarkov?

Elden Ring: Nightreign brings the best armors from Dark Souls as skins and they cost no money

Elden Ring: Nightreign is only a few weeks away from its release, and the closer it gets, the more information becomes available. One of these pieces of information concerns cosmetic content, as fans can now customize their heroes with skins, which are said to be free.

What’s new to know? In a 10-minute overview video from FromSoftware, various mechanics of Elden Ring: Nightreign are explained (via youtube.com). In addition to the end bosses and the core mechanics, a fundamentally new system was introduced, allowing players to customize their Nightfarers, or classes, with skins and new outfits completely free of charge.

These skins range from various variations of the familiar Nightfarers, such as recolored armors and minor adjustments, to completely new outfits that can change the overall appearance.

For the more drastic skins, FromSoftware has drawn on its well-known Dark Souls trilogy, bringing back armors that could even bring tears of joy to some fans.

Elden Ring Nightreign: In the new multiplayer mode, you must summon comrades!

Familiar armors from Dark Souls for the appropriate heroes

Which armors are included? In the overview, the skins were only visible for a few seconds. Three examples were shown with the following famous armors from Dark Souls:

Elden-Ring-Nightreign-Ruestung-Skins
This is what the armors look like
  • Leonard’s armor, the Ringfinger of Rosaria (Dark Souls 3) – Belongs to the Ironeye
  • Solaire’s armor from Astora (Dark Souls 1 & 3) – Belongs to the Guardian
  • The Faraam armor (Dark Souls 2 & 3) – Belongs to the Wylder

It seems that the armors each belong to a Nightfarer. You cannot wear Solaire’s outfit while playing as the Wylder. However, there is good news: each Nightfarer is expected to receive multiple well-known armors. Some footage is circulating where the class of the Wylder is even wearing Artorias’ armor (via reddit.com).

It is quite possible that familiar armors such as those from Catarina (Onion Armor from Dark Souls) or Tarkus’ Black Iron Armor (Dark Souls 1 & 3) could appear in Nightreign.

How do I earn the armors? As it stands now, the skins will be free and can also be earned in-game. There should be an NPC pot in the Round Table Hold that fans can interact with.

This character sells gestures and jewels to enhance builds. Later on in your journey, you will encounter the currency “Merk.” With this, the merchant’s offerings will expand, allowing you to purchase additional styles and outfits.

Unlike games like Destiny 2, Fortnite, or Call of Duty, where fans usually purchase their skins with real-money currency and have to pay extra on top of the full-price title.

Bungie reveals when the journey in Destiny 2 continues and you won’t have to wait long anymore

Bungie had its big developer stream for the upcoming future of Destiny 2. In this, new content was presented and it was shown when the new expansion begins.

When will Destiny 2 continue? In Bungie’s latest stream, the future of Destiny 2 was discussed. It also talked about the launch of “Edge of Fate,” the new expansion, which is set to start after the “Light and Darkness” saga.

Fans still didn’t know when it would start, but the developers have now revealed the start date: July 15, 2025, is when it continues. In addition to a new expansion, there are also innovations that Bungie has reported on. We will show you what you can expect.

Destiny 2: The Edge of Fate – Teaser for the big reveal in May

Out of Sol and into a new adventure

What has Bungie prepared? As already known, the year 2025 will receive two smaller expansions. The first content package is called “The Edge of Fate,” which is set to release in summer 2025, while the second will arrive in winter and is called “Renegade.”

The Edge of Fate allows Guardians to leave Sol, the solar system, for the first time to reach the planet “Kepler.” The theme and the new journey, which should entertain fans for years to come, revolve around the Nine – powerful beings that are older than the Traveler and seem to be much more complex than previously assumed.

In addition to leaving the solar system, there will be significant changes. These include:

  • Armor 3.0
  • New events
  • Portal: a new interface for quickly overviewing activities
  • A shooting range to test weapons
  • Focus on simplification and accessibility to play activities
    • There are now activities specifically for solo players
  • Every activity should bring fans to the light level needed to play endgame, including PvP
  • Activities can be equipped with new modifiers and the difficulty can be adjusted modularly
  • Many smaller changes. For more details, feel free to check out the stream (via twitch.com)

Bungie also emphasized that all activities newly associated with the expansion can be played by any player. So there is no more paywall. Lastly, the developers also provided a brief insight into the following expansion after The Edge of Fate. Renegade will be heavily inspired by Star Wars and will even feature well-known weapons from the franchise, including the famous lightsabers.

This was a brief and quick overview of what Bungie has prepared for The Edge of Fate. There is currently also the free event “The Ritual of the Nine,” where fans can secure new loot.

Twitch streamer has been live for three years, fears the consequences of going offline

A Twitch streamer has been live on Twitch for three years straight. In an interview, she talks about her fear of going offline.

Who is the Twitch streamer? It is the Twitch streamer EmilyCC. On her Twitch channel, she has over 325,000 followers and can attract an average of 374 viewers per stream (via sullygnome).

Her most streamed categories are Words on Stream (a Twitch category where viewers have to find words in the image), Just Chatting, Marvel Rivals, and IRL (via sullygnome). In addition to gaming content, EmilyCC also entertains her viewers with regular activities from her real life.

The special thing about her: She has been continuously online on Twitch for three years. We have already reported on her unique streaming model on MeinMMO.

In our video, we introduce you to the 5 most relevant Twitch streamers in the German space:

Going offline would mean the end of her career

In an interview with The Washington Post, the Twitch streamer talks about the consequences of continuous streaming. It has an impact on her private life because EmilyCC cannot really make plans.

She also mentioned that she sometimes feels “afraid” to be in front of the camera. Viewers might complain about a boring day and thus a boring stream.

Furthermore, she says that her community expects more and more from her, but she wonders what they actually still want from her. After all, she is live every day continuously.

Despite all this, she does not want to end her livestream. Because she is sure: If she ever ends her livestream, it would also mean the end of her career.

Even though streaming exhausts her, she wants to continue: “I force myself to do things that I don’t want to do because I want this stream to work. I want it so much that I no longer care [how I feel].”

EmilyCC wants to stay in the game, even though another Twitch streamer, SweatyPedals, is closely following her with just over two years of continuous livestreaming. What a subathon or extended time online can mean for a Twitch streamer can be seen with the streamer Shlorox.

Twitch streamer wants to sell vegan burgers in Hamburg, faces criticism – His reaction: “We are also to blame”

The YouTuber and Twitch streamer Sascha “unsympathischTV” Hellinger opened his own vegan burger shop on May 3, 2025. In his podcast, he talks about the first negative reactions to it and what might be responsible for them.

Who is it about? The content creator Sascha “unsympathischTV” Hellinger started his career as an influencer on YouTube. Together with his friend Inscope21, he filmed videos, built his community, and now regularly streams on Twitch.

Now he opened his own burger shop in Hamburg on May 3, 2025. The special thing: all burgers are completely vegan. The YouTuber Holle also opened his own fast food restaurant in Hamburg: In Hamburg, they stood in line for 8 hours for a €9.50 döner, but influencers push in front

In the latest episode of his podcast “Offline + Ehrlich” (via Spotify), which he co-hosts with Max “Trymacs” Stemmler and Florian “Varion” Kiesow, he talks about the first negative feedback regarding his new project.

We introduce the Twitch streamer Trymacs in our video:

Start video
Vom Pizza-Lieferant zu einem der größten deutschen Twitch-Streamer – Leben und Karriere von Trymacs in 2 Minuten

“What some people write is unbelievable”

What is the criticism? Some voices from the community would, as unsympathischTV reports, find his vegan burgers too expensive. Apparently, they are not aware that vegan substitute products are usually more expensive than actual meat.

To balance out the higher individual prices of burgers, unsympathischTV has designed special menus that include a portion of fries, a portion of coleslaw, and a drink. Thus, a cheeseburger in a menu costs 7 euros, while the cheeseburger menu costs 12 euros.

In conclusion, unsympathischTV says the following:

What do people expect? Where else should I go, price-wise? (…) The menu was so important to me. You can’t make it cheaper. And I don’t know what people are imagining. That I’ll show up next week with a Ferrari because I’m somehow exploiting people? (…) What some people write is unbelievable.

unsympathischTV via Spotify

In what way is unsympathischTV to blame? As a reason for negative feedback, unsympathischTV mentions among other things the content creators themselves who bring the product to market: “We are also partly to blame as creators.”

Creators keep teasing their new products and generating a real hype around their new project. This is not only true for their own products but can also happen with simple collaborations. The advertising is, although not by all, but by some, always “a bit over.”

As a result, the community’s expectations are always a bit higher for products associated with the influencer. The good side is that a lot could be sold, but the negative aspect would be the potential for a lot of criticism.

In their podcast, the three Twitch streamers regularly discuss topics that occupy them in their everyday lives. For example, they also chatted about their drinking habits regarding energy drinks. One of the three stood out: 2 Twitch streamers fulfill a stereotype so well that they are shocked when their colleague does not join in
