Oh man, this sucks.
You've provided your followers with good content throughout the years and gave us good laughs while doing it, R.I.P Prince John.

I know he was abrasive but he did a lot to highlight consumer rights and to better the quality and standards of the gaming industry. As a gamer what he championed would have affected you positively whether you know it or not, whether you like it or not, he had a lot of influence and he used it to make things better.

People who say things like this shouldn't be front paged, don't care and especially he deserved it are obviously ignorant to what he contributed. The ones who imply he deserved it can fuck right off especially.

Nobody deserves to die at 33.

RIP

He changed internet reviewing for the better and even though he was a hypocrite and a bigot at times , the internet wont be the same without him

Sleep now , john

We have all done and said things in the heat of the moment. I personally didn't agree with some of the things he had said but this is not the place to bring this sort of thing up.

Well. I agree and disagree. As a public figure, he should know the good and bads of his work. If he couldnt control, he should stop and retire.

We dont want to be scolded by our superiors at work. But when we fight back and disrespect him as a superior, we arent fit to work. The same can be said If he cant accept bashes and negative comments from his viewers

It's nice to see that there is more positivity than trash in this thread. Honestly a little surprising given garbage tends to show itself more prominently in threads like this.

TotalBiscuit was a stoic voice in the gaming community. It was his mission to stand up for consumer rights, and in many ways he did successfully shape, and change the industry for the better. He also helped dozens, if not hundreds by using his voice to stand up for those who would typically just be trampled in the crowd. You can disagree with his opinions, but there's no denying the positive impact he had on both the gaming industry, and the community. I don't use twitter much, but it was heartbreaking, and heartwarming to read all of the tweets @totalbiscuit. It really showed how passionate he was about what he did, and what he cared about.

Bottom feeders can flail and try to discredit him with pointless bullshit, but nothing you say, and no stupid screenshots of old tweets will change what the man has done. He accomplished more in his short life than any of the nobodies flinging shit at him will accomplish in their entire lives.

Totalbiscuit's success, and his passion will live on in all of those he inspired and helped, which is a great many people.

Rest in peace

This is very sad

He's probably responsible for a lot of FOV and simulation sickness options in games that I would otherwise be totally unable to play. You have my thanks for that John.

RIP fella. My thoughts with Genna and his family.

Never actually heard from this guy, but according to some users on a certain discord server I'm in, he made LoL the popular game it is today, and more things.

Serious condolences to all of his family

Rest in peace

May his voice live forever as an Starcraft 2 narrator.

That's pretty sad.

Never consumed his content or really knew who he was as a YT personality. But sad to see someone go who was important in the online community. Cancer is a mother fucker.

There is no context where telling someone to "get cancer and die" is ok.
Still sad that he died.

No, there isn't. But I can get plenty of examples where people say things they don't mean. That's why it's relevant. If it was made in the heat of a long forgotten online discussion, it's pretty inappropriate to dig it up years later. Especially when the person has just passed away and other people are expressing their condoleances.

I've never seen anything of this man's content, but I have heard of him. Also just found out that he lived in the same county as me, which I was really surprised about.

Sad to hear about what happened to him.
