The man that fought for 60 FPS in all games, resolution and graphics be damned frame rate is king! I'm pretty sure his docotors said he wouldn't live past like late 2015 so he definitely fought for as long as he could.

I really don't know why people are praising this guy- maybe just your typical SJW virtue signaling? The gaming market is worse than ever, and people like him made no appreciable difference to it, nor did he really help educate viewers on how it could be improved.

I quite liked his "WTF is..." series. Those videos single-handedly talked me into or out of a number of purchases I was questioning by showing me what I'd actually be getting in a clear, concise manner. I liked that format of prioritizing information over opinions, especially where a number of indie games are kind of genre-bending such that the trailers/descriptions wouldn't necessarily give me a solid impression of what to expect.

Regardless of whether or not I personally enjoyed his content, though, the name is pretty recognizable, and dying so young sucks regardless of who it is (short of actual evil people). The response is pretty understandable.

Telling someone to get cancer after they mocked your family = unforgivable pure evil. Mocking someone for actually dying of cancer = having the moral high ground.

Just because somebody died doesn't mean you should change (or even pretend to change) how you feel about them family left behind be damned. If you hated the person while they were alive and you still feel that way when they die, say so. It beats being fake.

That said, I only know about him through some Angry Joe videos and maybe some Did You Know Gaming episodes (was he on that show?) but never watched his channel so I have no real opinion on the guy.

There have been memes made about how loudly he's complained about the lack of FOV sliders, campaigning for 60FPS, etc. etc. He was the loudest voice with the greatest outreach, getting devs and publishers to listen to complaints PC gamers had been ignored on for years.

People say crap like that all the time. Things like "Die in a fire" DIAF, "Go jump off a cliff" It's just one of many things people say that simply just means Stop, go away and shut up. He says that to someone in a random post on social media and people act like he was the scum of the world for it... and plenty of people get cancer so it's not like it was some fated act that it happened to him.

I wasn't a big fan of his, but he was ok, most of his rants I think he went on for far too long, I only usually cared for his WTF series and for a time he streamed Hearthstone I enjoyed those. He did have some influence in the gaming community and brought some stuff to light and did make some waves but it was basically PC gaming, I'd assume he is well known only in the PC gaming community.

Speaking of cancer, there was a NPR rebroadcast on over the weekend (or maybe last weekend?) which was discussing what science is doing in the attempt to prolong life (including proponents who want to treat aging as a disease, to galvanize the public into doing more to find a "cure," so to speak). During one segment, it discussed how cancer is universal and one of the last great hurdles since, if nothing else kills you, you'll eventually develop cancer.

But most of them aren't internet-famous entertainers and therefore their names aren't even known. For better or worse, entertainers have an impact on their viewers' lives and, despite usually not having a personal connection, fans are understandable upset when an entertainer dies.

At one point he was one of the biggest voices against corruption in gaming journalism and the importance of putting your audience, the consumer, first, above pleasing gaming publishers, cooperate sponsors, and pushing a political agenda for profit.

He also was one of the largest speakers against anti consumer practices by gaming publishers in an ocean of hype channels that would support and be excited for everything.
