So basically this guy Bikeman played POE for a few days on harbinger league.

While at the end of his stream he felt pain in his wrists and had to log off, clip here:

https://www.twitch.tv/videos/166792268 last few seconds


And unfortunately he ended up in the hospital and now has to have open heart surgery:

GGG tweeted this a day later:

https://twitter.com/pathofexile/status/897979083719458816 (archived: http://archive.is/8REw3)

I feel very sympathetic for this poor guy. Heart attacks can happen to anyone.

However, with that said they are simply doing this because they know his huge following on twitch and his connections with ZiggyD who helped him get into POE. He literally only started playing POE a few days ago (as compared to nothingburther streamer who averages around < 50 viewers and has been playing their ENTIRE lives), which GGG will give a rats ass about.

I'm sure they'll gain some new players through this terrible marketing stunt and taking advantage of this poor guy. Pathetic favoritism imo


That is a shame, i really like Bikeman. He is an entertaining dude. I remember first seeing him in one if Liriks streams.

All the best to the dude.

e/

also wtf is this :rofl:







why exactly did you notify GGG that some random dude is in the hospital?


That's the point, lmao

Why did GGG post about bikeman then? Because he wasn't just a random dude, he has a huge twitch following / good for PR

Herp Derp

GGG gives two shits about some random streamer / player and only did this for a PR stunt

I was reminded of Bikeman's situation and googled for an update when I spotted your thread near the top of the results (https://www.google.com/search?q=bikeman+heart+attack&ei=SK3KWdGlBKqd0gKpspiADw&start=10&sa=N&biw=1920&bih=918).

He was streaming their game when he had the heart attack, you fucking idiot. It's his job to introduce people to games like theirs and he nearly died in the process of doing just that. It makes total sense that they'd send him a small gift, just like if you for instance sold software for a living it would make sense to send flowers and well-wishes to a business partner in the hospital whereas you couldn't be expected to do the same for every single customer who ever had an accident.

You are honestly one of the most repugnant humans beings I've ever come across online. Get your life together and stop taking your misery out on others.

I don't need a synopsis about what happened, reported btw. No need for the direct flames

So by your logic, a poe streamer who has about 10 viewers has a heart attack on stream, GGG will do the same thing for Bikeman? Yeah I bet, this was a perfect opportunity to exploit this dude for good publicity

Pathetic you support that kind of exploitation
