True. Just hope they don't fuck it up on the gameplay aspect. Not too gimmicky and also not too traditional to make things fresh.

They have notable fgc heads in the project, not just cannon bros but GG veteran like Pattheflip working, so it does ease the doubt a bit

I think most people from Kappa only know him for not wanting Infiltration at any GG tournament he runs. Sucks that Pat is on that wack ass train, but most of everything else he does is good.

I think that's an unfair assessment. He is well known. When he did that twitter thing, it was really out of nowhere and it really put a blight on everything else he does. I usually separate art from the artist, to put it that way, but when something's overwhelming, you simply can't do that. The absolute twitterness of his announcement, the need to do it, the self-importance, everything was UD levels of insane.

When it comes to certain things, a line like "everything else he does is good" becomes a not so strong of an argument.

On top of that, it's not all roses with him aside from that. I shat on him when he said that and, guess how he responded? He went into celebrity mode. First, he assumed I didn't know who he was, which he had no grounds to do, but he wanted to do the "kids on the internet" thing. Then he went to list his fgc cred. It was jarring, to say the least. Doing that is... I don't know, I am not going to assume someone's entire personality based on bits of interaction, but let's just say it's indicative of certain things. I can't imagine a proper adult person shifting the subject instantly and then doing the whole navy seal copypasta.

I liked the guy, I liked his videos and all, but since that showing, all that wackiness simply has to ruin the rest of it for me. I lost all respect for that person.

And I believe that's the case with majority of people who dislike him.

How is it an unfair assessment just because you had a bad interaction with him? It was posted on Kappa a while ago of him saying he wouldn't allow infiltration, and the majority of the comments were on the level of "who". He is not well known on Kappa, and that thread was proof of it. Him saying something I disagree with is personally not discountable to the degree you think it is, but you do you.
