Was joking around with theories on Nick being let go, someone bringing up legal pr talk on damage control.. But when Nick streamed a couple days ago, I thought it was odd that I kept hearing "thanks for the sub" while nothing immediately wrong; mmos in the last decade have built the worse rep for taking money for undelivered projects. Add to the fact none of the other devs who stream have subs on, and supposedly getting 4 50 gifted subs.

While nothing entirely wrong, potentionally could be viewed as a sorta against company contracts with the whole financially transparent.

Iuno what his role is specifically, and I like him but I doubt we will see pantheon levels of gearshift. I feel bad for him cus it seems like a pretty fun project to be apart of.

Shawn was always ok with the devs on the project having a sub button. He talked about it a lot after he first removed the sub button from his channel.

Nick has made it sound like the workload was immense. Hope whatever comes for him provides more balance.

Following has nothing to do with Nick specifically because I have no knowledge and it likely isn't relevant. I agree that whatever comes next hopefully at least pays.

In my experience when someone complains about workload it's about a coinflip between they're actually overworked, or they're not capable of performing the role. I'm probably being generous calling it 50/50 to be honest.

I'm not trying to be insulting it's just that modern work, especially white collar work, simply isn't something a large portion of people are really cut out for. We're not built for it

This is my experience as well, but i don’t know enough about being a game designer to make that call about this situation.
