Jeremy “DisguisedToast” Wang understands Hearthstone’s official subReddit (/r/Hearthstone) almost better than anyone else on it. He got his start curating content on the page before anyone knew who he was and years before anyone would ever see his face. Once that began gaining traction, he took his talents to Youtube where he has over one million subscribers across his two channels then began streaming on Twitch where his success has continued. Last Wednesday, Toast was streaming when it was brought to his attention that there was a thread about him on the subReddit that he should check out. Toast, who has seen hundreds of threads about him over the years, sat perplexed when he saw that shortly after the post had gone live it already had over 4,000 upvotes. Less than a week later, that number currently stands at nearly 13,000, one of the most popular in the past year.But the thread wasn’t showcasing a play he had made or a funny response from Blizzard on his content, like usual. It was in reference to recent videos he had made with clickbait thumbnails. While lighthearted in nature, hundreds of comments began pouring in calling Toast’s integrity into question and pointing out his clickbaiting ways.

There is a common stigma about the gaming industry from the general public that it's a "kids hobby" and they will "grow out of it eventually." Well, apparently Brian Kibler missed that memo as he is set to celebrate his 39th birthday in September. Kibler is currently one of the most well-known and accomplished individuals in the industry. His storied career that spans two decades has led him down the paths of a professional player, game designer, streamer, broadcaster, and more. Last weekend, Kibler attended PAX East, a gaming exhibition held in Boston, Massachusetts where he took to the casting desk for the Magic: The Gathering Arena $1 million Mythic Invitational event. In between matches, Kibler took a few moments to reflect on his journey in the game's industry and if it at all feels weird to see teenagers-- no younger than himself when he started--making tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars playing games in 2019.

What was meant to be an exciting day in the world of Hearthstone turned out to be, for many, a big letdown. Prior to launching a new card expansion for the game, it’s routine that a member of the Hearthstone development team pairs up with a popular figure within the community to showcase some new content being revealed in the upcoming weeks via Twitch. To show off some new cards for the upcoming “Rise of Shadows” expansion being released on April 9, a trio was assembled to get the playerbase hyped. Peter Whalen (Senior Game Designer), Cora “Songbird” Georgiou (Hearthstone competitive player/esports caster) and Chris Sierra (Community Manager) were paired together for the event. The stream started with 15-minutes of back-and-forth banter between the three about content that had already been revealed and some developer insight into the expansion as a whole. Those tuned into the stream to see new content (which was in the tens of thousands) grew bored of the conversation only a few minutes in.
