The fact that they continued to work with outstanding payments show how selfless their actions are and how much they love the game, if I went a single month without being paid i'd be up in arms, 7 months is inexcusable.
Is this the same guy that created OPSkins? Thought he was rolling in $$…
Let’s get this guy on more of these
Jesus, I can go 3 weeks max. 7 months is unbelievable.
lol, the R slur.. smh
Hey, 😏 whats up?!
bruh, am i the only one using liquidpedia???
How does anyone work for 7 months with no pay. Like you miss my first paycheck I’m not gonna just keep working
Blows me away there is this many problems coming out about an MLG game. I know they all have their issues but I feel like valorant is really raising the bar.
The way the ceo speaks sounds like a discord night with the boys
Paying your employees is just bad business
The biggest scam is us over paying for skins but we all still do lol
The biggest scam is to suspend Sinatraa lol.
It sucks to get stiffed on payments
Sounds like he did some stuffs wrong, easy to be angry at the guy. However, for me, as long as he pays the employees soon… and he does let others run the company from now on, then I personally will not hate him.
To be honest, his apology at the end sounds genuine to me, too. I can relate too much to his comment, when he said that he "never intended to do bad, and will fuck off from the community that I loved & wronged".
It isn't okay to do what he did to his staff and those who worked for him. He also had serious drug issues and money issues, as we can see. However, I can believe the is generally, most of the time… not a bad guy.
As someone who is LGBTQ+ myself, I hope that he can learn to not be hateful towards us sometime soon, and realize his mistakes. I do not hate him even though he said slurs and constantly said terrible things about others like me.
I just hope that he can get therapy, or find some other way to feel better about life. I think that if he can be more sober and get truly happy again, he can come to a place where he realizes that it isn't okay to do what he has done. Then he can live a happier life, feel better, and treat others better. He can let go of that hate towards us.
At least, that's what I hope for him.
Scumbag companies for a scumbag game. People really trust that kernal level anti-cheat that doesn't even work?
WE WANT JAKE NOT U
The biggest scam in valorant is Cloud9 making sentinels pay a shit ton to loan out TenZ or buy him out for millions.
Giving this guy another shot after that wack r lewis report..
the game is a pathetic joke honestly
The biggest scam in valorant is definitely the thing with LDM, literally the same thing but instead of employees put the masters 1 winners players so that was absurd
Ive never heard of the thespike but after looking around i've got to say its super well done site. I will def go back to it from time to time.
Imagine playing valolrant
Basically, Aminacov is commiting fraud. He is taking the employees money and selling the company, earning even more. So by selling he won't have to pay them because it's not him that owe the money, but the company.
He is saying the money will be paid, but it won't be paid by him, as he is saying that all operations will be done by hex4MT. So he'll be keeping the money and not pay a dime. If he's able to sell the company he'll make even more money.
The best news is that the scumbag will be leaving gaming and esports, to commit fraud elsewhere. Who knows if it will be permanent since he's done it before.
Valorant: Dead overrated game
Ofcourse they have something else, fuck you think?! 7 months. Prolly selling drugs, always profitable, trust me, i know 😎
I can't believe they lasted 7 months without posting about it already
The employees must be like teenagers or early 20s. No professional would just work pro-Bono for 7 months
free game but at what cost
wait u can't say the word "rape" on youtube .. wut a fuckin joke all social media is becoming
Man's baked as hell xD
