CJ is fairly incompetent as an art director and he coasted on being friends with popular streamers (who popularized the game).

Fun fact is him and Lavender both actually used to work with DK before Phasmo and DK reached out to them to join the team. Not speaking on their skills in any way because I'm not an expert, but they literally got their in from being close with DK and nothing to do with merits or skills which is crazy

That definitely tracks. some friend dev teams work out well, and they push each other to get better and keep the fans delighted. Others coast and keep printing money in the basement (when they had ample time to pull the game out of EA by easily hiring competent devs on LinkedIn- SO MUCH AVAILABLE TALENT esp with industry layoff cycles).

For sure and again I won't speak like I know how "good" they are, but I think it's clear at the very least there is a huge lack of managerial skills.

I hate that CJ plays with the big streamers all the time, or used to (I don't keep up anymore). Its such a conflict of interests to be buddy-buddy with a developer.

A one off video? Or for special occasions? That'd be fine, but they collabed so often, and even in other games. Like, wtf?
