RE: Another Interesting Day On The Blockchain — Ben Schwartz
I had been talking to (In this case) Slothyy for the past few months and I helped him build Gamers united from a certain point, he even made me a mod on the discord server.
I do think he let himself be drowned by the addiction because I still believe some of the character he had built up. The backpacker who traveled a lot and was staying in a hostel in mexico... But his addictions got him, he gambled way more than he could and got money out of a LOT of people, including myself and a lot of Gamers united members.
He just seems like such an unstable person trying to do way more than he could grasp, leading to his demise and what has been happening since his story started to crumble down.
I'll write a post in a few so I can explain a little bit from my perspective since I considered him a friend.
Thanks for your feedback and I'm glad you say this because it makes me feel as though I wasn't too far off in my assumption. Still, I feel as though folks would be well off not to trust him going forward. What's a bit sad is that his behavior reflects poorly on the community of gamers that was developed. I think it will take a lot of transparency and refraining from profiteering for that community to rebuild it's name separate from him. I hope some of the gamers - perhaps even yourself perhaps - would consider doing some streams with face in window, so folks know those streamers are not Ben hiding under another name. It's devastating how reputation and trust can be damaged by association. I hope for everyone in that community and others he was involved in that were hurt by his actions, fully recover and go on to having an even better community. ♥️
We're all building something better and DIFFERENT plus we do want to keep transparent since we don't want our members feeling nervous or afraid again, that's totally what we want to avoid.
We already have some people who stream with webcams so their faces are recognizable and we can get accustomed to them being the faces of the group in some kind of sense.
Thanks for the support, Omi! We're just picking up the pieces and trying to make it even better!
