Angry Joe's Final Nintendo Rant! With FEELS

[Nuvendil]

Ok let's get some misconstrued facts straight here:

First, Joe did NOT ask his fans to buy him a Wii U, it was literally ONE guy (LiexLie) who donated the full purchase price of the bundle to him on his own and stated explicitly that it was for Joe to get a Wii U. He never requested money for it, he merely said that the Wii U was looking good when doing his Top 10 Games of 2014 list. And aside from that, it makes sense for Joe to spend money from the show to buy stuff that supports the show, be it new consoles or computers or setting up servers for multiplayer on certain games. He is a reviewer and streamer, he kinda has to spend some of that income on games, game consoles, and other hardware and software.

Second, Joe did not JUST start complimenting Nintendo now for the moneyz. He gave them huge props after E3 2014, gave them a shout out in the honorable mentions in his Top 10 Games list even though he didn't play the games he mentioned (Bayo 2, Mario Kart 8, Smash)

Third, Joe has been doing Nintendo stuff on his Twitch since he got his Wii U and has apparently enjoyed the games he played from what I have seen. I mean, the most popular (aka most lucrative) game historically for him on Twitch is XCOM iirc, which he rarely plays right now. So if he was all about the big bucks, he would do that all the time. But no, he did several long (in one case over four hours) streams of Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros, and Mario Party (the MP10 one is hilarious, btw). This was the second time he tried to post a highlights reel from Twitch, but he has done multiple other streams besides these. Besides, isn't it just a bit ridiculous to just label him a fake who is in it for the money just because he didn't buy every single system right out of the gate? Not everyone feels the need to do that. Can't he just have changed his mind about the Wii U like any other human being can?

So stop trying to just wave this off by attacking Joe, that's not helping.
