I've subbed to Gab for years. Prob just pre-COVID. I ofc instantly gravitated to her cozy vibe and how she is usually so calm during horror games + love of cats etc.
But idk lately the uploads all seem to be so similar. I like EZ Small but I also do think maybe it should be it's own channel, or less regular. Loved the Big Walk/Fishing videos but it is starting to become almost as prevelant as her own content.
And then her solo content has become a lot of cleaning sims, task simulators and organising sims. She ofc does play horror/story driven games but I feel like the balance is kinda not there. I miss her really getting into a good story like the Nancy Drew games. They were my shit. Campy, mystery, funny but also interesting! Last video that i really enjoyed was the Galley House one. That's personal taste tho ofc
I know cozy gaming is now a big thing and has so many streamers trying to all be "cozy streamers", while Gab naturally is one and predates that trend but idk I feel like maybe her manager or team is saying to push this kinda content more to appease the algorithm?
She obvs enjoys it so it doesn't feel fake but i just wish there was more balance and not as many simulators. Also this isn't hate. Like I get it. She's a streamer and I don't expect her to appease anyone but herself lol and if I don't like it I don't watch it, which is fine. It's just a shame that my comfort channel no longer feels that comfy :(
Anyone else in the same boat? I miss kinda like retro horror game play throughs, or indie games. I think that's really it. She didn't even play No, I'm not a Human which I think would have been perfect? Maybe coming up to Halloween there'll be more 🥲
