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:

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

GGG tweeted this a day later:

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

Your post brings up a lot of good things too. Sadly, mods will still prob delete it though. That subreddit is a huge circle jerk, users will continue to insult you and get away with it, if you post something non-circle jerky.

Why I came to this forum so I can voice my feelings lol. If on reddit, I get -100 + karma, then have to wait 10-20 minutes between posts. So I get punished for having a different opinion than the main circle jerk. Disappoints me as well ;)
