Northernlion. He's still a cool person in my books, but the moment he started actively trying to maximize revenue is when he began to lose his appeal to me. Nick's - RockLeeSmile's - departure was the first warning bell, but I stuck with him for a long while after that.

I completely get it, though - he wants to ensure a good future for his family.

Is NL trying to maximize revenue? How so other than playing games that bring in more viewers than those that don't? He showed the stats for Midnight Sons and it basically cut his income in half. He's got bills and a kid, so unless there's other stuff, I don't really get this criticism because there's gotta be a limit when its your job. He still frequently plays different games too. Recently did a bunch of demos for the Steam nextfest.

I'm still subscribed to him, but I have definitely not been watching him as often as I used to, and I couldn't exactly say why. I will say that The Library of Letourneau scratches the itch when I have it because it's just edited content of the best parts of NL.
