Never heard about him before.

50k subs doesn't make you famous.

He actually had 845k subscribers and over 140 million views on youtube, until he got himself banned late last year (https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/ewnetwork/monthly), so he's definitely more well known then you think.

Rest in Piece, Etika He was without a doubt my favorite Nintendo streamer.

I remember he alluded to taking his life a while back, deleted his youtube channel (I think) and disappeared.
People were worried, but when he came back he acted as if it was just a misunderstanding. But that, coupled with several other things, I thought was a textbook example of a cry for help.

And yet the psych ward released him after a week, apparently?
Sounds like they failed him. I read that some of his close friends talked to the doctors so they should have been aware of his situation.

People might want to look into potential negligence from the hospital.

I've seen some of his videos, and he seemed like a fun nice guy. A big loss for the many people who cared about him.

I get you. But my bet is that he agreed to make some changes in his life, seemed good enough for the staff and they let him go.

I dunno. At least that's what I'd like to think. As someone very familiar with psych treatment, that is usually how it goes. It ultimately depends on the patient if they think they can handle the situation. Of course, Desmond's case went too far, but still...

Still, very sad. Actually shocked right now.

My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Found out about him during the early Wii U days, been a follower on twitter and found out he has mental problems the last couple months or so(where I noticed all the weird posts he did), and been following the event of him missing, when they found a body yesterday I had the strongest gut feeling it would be him, and so the news early this morning confirms it, it really is just sad to hear someone you've been following for so long just passes away, rest in peace Desmond, and my condolences to the family and friends.

Famous or not, he is well known enough in youtube and a lot of gaming sites. Trying to play down a death, huh?

Rest in peace, Etika. First your shelf, now you die yourself

Spoiler!

For those who don't understand about the shelf, when Nintendo E3 video of Smash Ultimate was rolling, he punched and destroyed the shelf next to him when he saw Snake returning. At which point everybody was posting RIP shelf.
