I personaly don't mind seeing other games on this channel because I understand what Apex can be like when played too much
Fortnite
Tap strafing 90’s on little kids
You could try Minecraft
@@emma6648 just recently started playing FN since zero build and actually enjoying myself coming from apex, but I switch between the pair whilst in-between play other games too.
I'd be interested for The Gaming Merchant to try out Rainbow
I totally agree with all of this, this season has been a disaster for content creators, the gameplay is pretty rough because of the weapon meta and there really isnt anything fresh at all for us to talk about. Ranked aside, all we got was a mid-tier legend and a giant crab. The game is only really fun when you play periodically and not for long. Best of luck with your streams and making content moving forward, i'll be tuning in :)
So true pubs is very dead right now
This is exactly why ever since season 11 hit I couldn’t play a lot because it gets so boring
love your vids
Yeah hopefully control coming back helps and the new skin
At what point did it happen that games should be made so that poor streamers and youtubers can make their content without problems?
Degenerates....
Intoxicated by easy profits, you no longer know how to differentiate reality.
I’ve always wanted to play apex with this guy, just to hear his voice as he gets shot by a charge rifle Dave.
Likewise
You'll be excited for tomorrow's video then
@@Thegamingmerchant 👀
Will the bp wallpapers be released after a while??
I'm pretty sure I did play with him back in S3 when he was still 10EXP in game. Carried the game as wraith, we just followed in his wake and helped where we could, got a cheerful "good game guys, well played" over the mic at the end, even though we did 2% of the work. Pretty sure his name was 10EXP, either way, really nice and down to earth guy.
Love hearing your thoughts on being a creator. When I get burned up playing solo it usually really helps to just play with others who are around your skill level. Not having the burden of "one mistake means the game is over and the content is ruined" is really nice. Interaction can be really funny too and you wouldn't have to commentate everything yourself which makes it a lot more easy going. Honestly if you would like to give it a go and play some games I would be super happy to join. Got around 3k hours in the game, started creating apex content this year. Might be a cool idea for one of your weekly videos - going in as an unstoppable premade! ✌️😄
I also love your content Desu. what advice do you have for the newer content creators who just started on the Creator journey?
Omg! Community/maybe especially smaller Content Creator Lobbys could be a really nice series! Ofc tgm would have to have a small Chat with Them First, because I Bet there's some annoying clout chasers but yeah, i Love this concept
@@TTVJFA48 100% agree. It actually does sound like a really cool series
As a fan, I can't even *imagine* only watching specific videos you make, your energy and enthusiasm make every video worth watching imo, which is why I'm really glad to hear you're prioritising your own experience cause I feel that'll translate well into the fans enjoying things *with you* more
Honestly when this video started i was kinda sad but I just started smiling more and more after I heard what you had to say. Have amazing luck with these changes :)
This legends a real g, explaining why his content is different than usual, rather than letting him videos lower in quality like most gaming channels do.
First and foremost I enjoy watching any creator where I feel like they're having fun doing what they do- because fun is contagious, and I love that wholesome feeling of hanging out with a friend so to speak (not literally, I know don't worry, I know we're not literal friends, it's just a similar vibe.)
Like, I watched your videos back in season three when I first got obsessed with apex. The shop keep videos and all that. Just seeing those few wholesome moments and hearing you, as the content creator, laugh with one or the other display of skill in there, those were my favourites.
I think it’s a good choice you’re making. Some folks enjoy tuning into Streams and considering APEX is only going to be getting harder and harder if you’re spending days just getting some footage, that burnout will creep up on you.
10/10 Video. Excellent goal layout. I love the honesty to your audience. You seem like a great content creator. For feed back on a Casual viewer on RUclips, I like the mix / grab bag approaches. I like videos that break down either matches, gun design or even just specific fights. It feels like a more in depth look from sharper perspective
For me it’s you as a person that brings me back I’ve watched you for years even before apex. Your honestly one of my favorite RUclipsrs, it shows how much hard work and dedication you put into this channel and I bet your the same way with everything you care about in life and on top of that your voice is really calming. I needed to say this for you to know your truly awesome! Any video you make I’ll watch!
Do what makes you happy man, you always have great content. I really appreciate the in depth analysis you provide with weapon stats, ttk, reload times, etc... you bring the hard facts with that, and numbers dont lie when it comes to gunplay.
I know it’s hard with timezones but I’d LOVE to see some TGM collabs with other creators. And as for why I like your videos and makes me click on specific ones I feel like you fit in the same niche as TC zwag just in apex. Off meta shenanigans. Like a good, wholesome and fun personality having fun experimenting with different strategies is great content. Like the story behind how you discover a lot of your tips and tricks- even out of context of a full game would be awesome to see! But I watch 75 percent of ur videos as they are and all of your shorts so I’m obviously biased- but that’s just what I would love to see! Tysm for putting out great videos tho. They have become part of my packing for school routine.
I wonder if he would consider smaller creators. Maybe I should create a formal video application to play as TGM's teammate haha
...
*makes a note*
Ily Merch. Been around for a long time. I would enjoy your videos a lot more if I know YOU are enjoying making them. So I fully support whatever you do. You've always been one of my favorites, I love your attitude and the videos you make are always a step above the rest. Wish you all the best in the future and cant wait to see where you go from here xxx
As a relatively steady viewer of yours, I watch you for your absolutely chillinest personality and super calm sweaty moments. I really like it when you seem to be having a lot of fun with something, whether it's a silly weapons experiment or a strangely calm reaction to a crazy situation unfolding around you and yeah. Idk, just do fun things that look like they'd be fun to do, with perhaps a bit of potentially useful info or opinion on something and that'll get my click usually.
I’ve been noticing you’ve been getting really drained and felt bad. I honestly expected you to take a break from RUclips altogether soon, and I’ve been tempted to make a comment about how we all honestly wouldn’t mind we understand, but understanding that this is a job for you and you likely can’t afford to just take a break prevented me. Glad you were able to find a new system to keep going but not get so drained! :)
I am on the side of taking it easy. I enjoy seeing you actually having fun instead of breaking yourself trying to get the best footage possible. Take it easy Merchant.
Hope things get better for you. I’m glad you spoke on how difficult getting footage can be. Sometimes it can take forever
I support a break and changing your uploads/schedule!!! It’s cool and I’ll watch whatever you upload
Take a brek if you need
im so glad to hear this!
in another video of yours i heard you say you usually play at least 8 hours a day, sometimes 12 and i was FLOORED. that CANNOT be healthy for your body or your mind. i hope you can find a way to chill out with the grind.
remember, its a marathon, not a sprint. good luck ❤️
Keep in mind this is the mans job.
Working 8-12 hour days is pretty standard for the working class. (At least here in America)
Finding ways to not burn out at any job that is monotonous is difficult.
@@joeblow8982 its still a hard job, even if other people have it equally hard. plus, he said 8-12 hours of JUST playing. he still needs to edit videos, stream, keep up with the game's news, come up with video ideas... not to mention even people who sit in offices dont work that strenuously. playing apex at such a high level requires massive focus and causes a lot of strain on stuff like your eyes, back, legs... ive been writing my thesis and my wrist is absolutely wrecked, and thats from only 4-6 hours a day with an ergonomic mouse. i cant imagine having to play a shooter for this long.
@@_holy__ghost I'm not discrediting anyone here dude.
I'm only saying that working 8-12 hour days isn't uncommon or necessarily unhealthy.
What about doctors and surgeons?
That's a stressful and mentally and physically demanding job.
They routinely work the types of hours you described, and you would literally trust them with your life.
You wouldn't do that if you honestly believed that working 8-12 hour days was "unhealthy", would you?
Most content creators have "edit days" and "gameplay days". If TGM isn't already doing something along those lines, he should be.
My only point here was that working 8-12 hour days isn't uncommon or unhealthy. It's actually quite normal...
@@joeblow8982 i wasn't implying that you were discrediting him, i was saying that 8 hours of constant GAMING is different to being a surgeon. im specifically talking about the physical toll sitting behind a mouse and keyboard has on a person. yes, surgeons work long hours, but they dont spend all those hours staring at a screen and holding a mouse. regardless, its still a bit rude to go on someones video about how difficult theyre finding their job and commenting 'well actually most people work the same hours so its not REALLY that hard'. even if thats not what you meant, thats what it sounds like and thats what your comment implies. and regardless AGAIN, nobody should be working +8 hours anymore, especially with how automated most jobs can be and how much work time can be cut down with proper planning.
@@joeblow8982 you can't compare jobs, like saying a cashier job is easier than being a doctor, both are as difficult as every other single job lol, but i get ur point, just don't compare a mentally draining job such as a doctor to something like a content creator :p
You are one of my top picks whenever I eat lunch or a meal. Its interesting, fun and sometimes it triggers my brain to think. Commentary gameplay allows me to gain more perspectives, also invites me to think about what would I do if I were in your position. Leaks or discussion regarding current trend in the game help me decide what is meta, what is not, and how I would counter the meta. I play off meta legends with off meta weapons (except the CAR, its my comfort weapon.)
Overall love your content, mobile or PC and as always I'll try to give thumbs up to everything to help with the algorithm so everyone can enjoy together as a community. Cheerio
This is why you are my favorite person to watch your so open about everything you do and what your going to do and have your viewers decide whether or not you should do this or that
What ever it is we’ll be here for you. Most viewers wouldn’t be opposed to other games like titanfall or anything you’d like, if you’re enjoying it we will too!
Glad you’re making this switch. I also personally love to watch your streams. It seems a lot more fun, genuine and candid. I enjoy it a whole lot more than watching a cliche win video, not that your videos were bad, I still enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work merchant!
“The hunter will always win if the pray cannot adapt.” -Bloodhound
The whole reason I subscribed to your channel was your commentary on your gameplay and you voicing your thought process behind the decisions you make in game. It truly helps me be more aware of my own gameplay and play better. Your calm demeanor amidst fights is also pretty entertaining to watch, its a nice change from watching creators rage and get worked up after dying or losing.
I think its important that you keep enough time for yourself, so that when you want to play for longer or do a difficult challenge for example, you're not gonna feel burnt out or tired. I would completely understand if you would just make less videos a week, maybe 4 or 5 (or even less if you want to). The loyal fans wouldn't mind because they understand it, and will watch the better videos with even more pleasure, the not loyal fans wouldn't mind because they didn't even watch all the videos in the first place. So you do you, the you have a great, enthusiastic vibe. (Also, I like the commentary and deep dive videos especially 🙂)
We love you. Your mental health is more important than burning yourself out over something ! We’ve seen lots of creators go down this road and lose steam. Your videos are so informative and actually make me think about gaming in a way that wouldn’t happen otherwise. Whether it’s those 30 second clips or a 10min video, we love your content.
Do what you enjoy the most, I love the content anyway. Btw I stopped playing recently too, since ranked is not enjoyable and too time consuming, started going out more because of the nice weather, and I noticed, that playing Apex casually and solo queue is a horrible experience. Keep up the good work and let's see whether some other good games are coming (Warzone 2)?
I don’t always catch your streams live as I live in the uk, but usually catch them later and like them a lot. Totally get what you are saying and sounds like a good plan. I really like your creativity, fun, and grounded approach - keep it up.
I love watching you for the personality and also it’s just that I know I’m either gonna be informed or have a good laugh while watching your videos witch I have always loved this channel I don’t care what you play as long as it is YOU playing not like a fake personality or anything like that! Been watching your Chanel almost everyday now for last 10 months and loved every minute of it keep going!! Love apex but I don’t mind a change up!
Some suggestions on content for your channel:
-(As most people have suggested already) Educational apex videos. This can be in many forms, I see a lot of apex youtubers spectating lobbies and offering their insight on how they should play it out. Maybe you can get review footage sent to you by your community which would make them feel more included or you could spectate ranked since it's such a hot topic right now.
-Other educational content: Deep dive Lore behind legends (really enjoyed those and would love to see more of it. You have covered far more details than any other apex channel I watch and I watch a LOT of apex content).
-Weekly challenge: Master one weapon/one legend ability. Use the given gun/legend for a whole week (maybe spin a wheel or something to randomly select). This can give you more regular but still interesting footage but you don't need to burn out, just revord your progress with the weapon/legend over the course of a week.
-Tier List videos are personally satisfying to watch. But I wouldn't suggest doing it on something broad like "rating every season" but rather something like best legends in pubs, best duo combos, best ranked legends, etc
-I'm not sure what you mean by having content that is more technical, but I would be interested in seeing any kind of information or knowledge about apex thats not widely known.
-a "How To" series would be very helpful. Not sure if you've already done one, but how to use grenades properly, how to get best movement (pc or controller), how to rev push properly, how to use horizon ult properly, etc. They can be short but these things are often unclear to the crowd. It's easy in theory but plenty of seemingly small things can give u different outcomes, so knowing what things to look out for would be good.
-Lastly, since the apex community openly talks about controversial topics like the recent lifeline buff which is 50/50 right now. A lot of people want a complete rework, you could react to people's different rework ideas for lifeline. Maybe give some kind of prize to the best idea or do a poll of your top 5? You could take suggestions on reddit or have some kind of system where we send our ideas.
I know it's a lot, I was definitely high writing this but I hope it's comprehensible.
do more challenges and stuff. the pro loadouts need to come back
Personally I come to this channel because you are a really good, but not insane apex player (or at least that's what it feels like). It keeps the gameplay closer to what I could hope to experience (as a average-ish player). It makes it more relatable.
I usually open whatever you post, see if it's interesting and then do something else while the video is playing in the background :)
As for videos that I would be interested in...
1. Short to mid sized explanation videos. How to drop perfectly. How to better use cover. How to rotate better. End-circles, etc. This is also a good place to use bad footage, since you can show why it went wrong. Sure others have done this as well, so have you. But there's nothing wrong with re-evalutating the skills that we have grown accostumed to and see if there's a neat trick to teach. Especially with a high ceiling legend such as Rampart with newer tech like fast walls (place wall, ult, tac, repeat).
2. Colab videos with other creators (RagTag, Shiv, Janx, etc.) is almost always fun, it usually gives decent banter especially if you actually consider them friends. This also allows for somewhat more casual games.
3. The whole tournament with other creators was a blast (in my opinion) and these large colabs are quite entertaining.
4. As a Rampart main your skill is far above me, yet feels reachable. Thus giving me the idea that I can learn to be better from your videos.
What keeps bringing me back to your channel is the simplicity of your videos, short, sweet and straight to the point no BS.
You're the only apex content creator I watch tbh, I would even watch you doing commentaries while looting the entire match or not, because watching your content is real fun. Keep up the wholesome content man ;)
I honestly really enjoy these just chatting videos. It feels more engaging and like we have more of an input and thoughts from yourself. The game play in the background is nice but I like the more personalised discussions, especially about some of the bigger and smaller topics within Apex
Thank you. You make wholesome content and have a great, fun attitude when you play. That's why you are everyone's favorite Apex youtuber.
Content wise, maybe streaming with other cool youtubers or guests once in a while, would add some nice variety. Just a suggestion.
1 what season was the gameplay recorded? Sheila was not mobile and the volt was not care package
2 How do level up your merchant battle pass?
3 Challenge vids are da best
I love how unique your own events are. like the gaming merchant battle pass feels really innovative because people are competing for your content. that's one thing you've always done well
Hey, here's why I watch your videos:
1. I like the depth you add to game play videos through commentary. That seems rather unique to your channel.
2. You are nice. You don't trash talk other players like Faide.
3. You are good at apex, so fun to watch and get inspired to go play.
Hope that helps a little.
me and everyone else completely understand.
Do what makes you happy, we will watch whatever you make.
:))
What drew me to your channel initially was the fact that you use Rampart, your great gameplay/personality and I love watching anyone who plays solo especially solo vs trios.
I've been playing ranked a lot more than i usually would this season because pubs is just so sweaty and I dont even like stormpoint so that says a lot.
The biggest things I look for in content is that the creators are having fun while doing it and/or they are so incredibly skilled and I can learn something from them.
You have so much experience with the game. I tune in to watch you play and particularly enjoy you talking about tips/tricks and how to get better at the game. Don’t stop GM. You’re hard work is appreciated!!
Honestly just love your personality and gameplay, i think most of us probably tune in because we just like seeing you do what you love. You cant lose when you just do what makes you the happiest
to answer the question @ 4:48
There's a mix of information I know and information I don't know which works well all around. If I don't know what you showcase in your video, then I learn, if I already knew, it doesn't hurt, if anything, it's information to be able to relay to friends by simply linking them your video(s) due to the nature of how you explain your topic(s).
There are other channels like this, but not all of the information in the videos is the same and eventually people will watch you for your personality. Even if it's a "bite-sized video" we gravitate towards what we like hearing, you're pretty straight to the point as well which is great :)
top3 content from you in my opnion :
1- new game mechanics analysis every season/legend
2- toughts on season quality (ranked,pubs,arenas)
3-overall chatting while gameplay , not necessarly 20bombs4ks but good conversations with some fun background.
I'll honestly watch anything you create. I enjoy watching your videos cause of your personality, its what makes it entertaining for me. The commentary videos where you talk about your thoughts are some of my favorite. The challenge videos you do are always entertaining to watch. This channel feels like your watching a person play the game, rather than watching a persona play the game. Which is one of the things I like about this channel.
Plus, you're very skilled at the game, which also helps. Good skills and Good personality is always entertaining to watch.
When I do end up watching a video made by you, it is usually a video that informs me of the latest news or leaks that are related to apex. That's really it.
I'm the casual viewer and I just like watching gameplay of content creators having fun. That could be dropping 20 bombs, having pure 'gutter tier' games or trying to win with two p2020's. As long as you're doing what you love I'll find that great to watch.
Honestly when it comes to watching I like the quickness on updates for news about apex without the worry for extreme spoilers for coming content. That and I just like how things are so casual like you're one of us, just another filthy casual 😂
I watch you because of your personality and wackiness and the creative ways you play the game. lastly you are super informative
7:17 it's because your voice is so nice and your almost always happy. Your videos just make my day
Don't play Apex much anymore but you've always been my favorite Apex Legends content creator. The videos I tend to like most are opinions on the meta (weapons/characters/maps/ect.) like your favorite weapon combinations, character compositions, game-stats reviewing, theorycrafting, or even trying that out real-time in a match. This also includes videos such as tier lists and/or even videos explaining balance changes you would personally make and why.
For example, I've mostly gone to your videos expressing an opinion on a character, playrate, weapon (at least with the title) which I'm pleased to get at the beginning of the video but not long after that you go just into gameplay, often giving real-time thoughts and examples of what you were talking about but I don't usually stay for that bit because its more so just about having another match but with the theme of what you were talking about.
To give you a more direct example of exactly one of the main things I'd like to see, there seems to be a lack of videos expressing specific loadouts options for every character, based on their strengths and different playstyles they could flex in a way no other character could. Hopefully that means its a very good option for the character but it doesn't necessarily have to be because the main idea is to try something fun and unique to the character.
Rampart and Maggie might be some of the easier characters to do this with initially because of their passives.
You could go even further beyond that though and create a whole Legend Psych Profile video that gets into teammates they want to have cause of certain synergistic abilities, Legends they counter, Legends they get countered by, loadout build-up walkthroughs of what to look out for in terms of loot to collect and what your ultimate loadout may look like.
At this point I'm rambling so I'd say use your imagination!
You have a great speaking voice. Interesting sound and I’m from California, so of course your accent is soothing for me because it’s unlike what I hear everyday in person usually. Also I really enjoy your humor and speaking during gameplays. So really as long as you’re dropping enough content for people to still see gameplays with commentary, even if it’s stream highlights, I’ll watch. I’m sure many other fans of yours will too. Really we just want to hear you speak, be candid while playing Apex. Maybe make some funny team up videos with a good random teammate you meet, or even maybe playing with a couple of fans maybe 1 time a month or maybe every three months you have 2 days where for 3 hours each day you stream and rotate between playing with fans. Every 3 games you get 2 new fresh teammates from the fan base. I know this is a lot of work, planning. I know that would be such a huge deal for your fans though, including me. Now I know many of us probably aren’t that good, but surely there are some hidden gems that are insanely good at the game too and just work or are like 12 so haven’t been seen online yet. Your plan sounds good though if you decide just to stick to your plan.
Yo yo yo merch, lets get the community back on world records! The silliness of them all and hearing you laugh uncontrollably was a lot of fun. Weve had a few legends since and Im sure theres some Newcastle ult gladiator ring, with maggie balls in it that could be done
knowing you have an accent for me is what keeps me coming back haha but i watch literally anything from you keep it up!
I dunno what it is that i like about your videos. I've watched almost every one of your videos and i just love them. Maybe it's cause i like your personality so much.
When i watch you I know im gonna see good gameplay and crazy clutches sometimes and i always learn new things from your videos and most importantly i just love watching you. You are really humble and such a likeable person. Also your voice feels so comforting. I guess you could say you are my comfort streamer
But yea in the beginning when i first started watching you i was drawn in cause you give so many useful tips
My man, do it the way you enjoy it, we all appreciate your hard work and whatever you decide to change - we will accept it
All the best now
7:29 the reasons for my inner machinations are an enigma (even to myself) also the battle pass idea genuinely sounds so cool!!
I honestly think I watch your videos over others because of the personality. Your voice and overall cheery vibe often makes the gameplay much more fun to watch.
I think it’s what makes ur content unique, because u do all sorts of stuff it just works, when I think of u I think of a rampart god who just does all sorts of stuff, because u don’t stick to one thing that ends up being ur one thing, the fact that u do everything!
I have watched every video of yours since I started watching late season 8 when I started playing the game and I love your videos they are amazing and I love your content cause it’s funny, your good at the game and I can learn things from you and it’s such an experience watching you and I can’t wait to see where you take us in the future
The cycle: Frontier is like a stormpoint map with a tarkov style gameplay, try it out if you’re interested! The game just released and I had a lot of fun playing the game with my friends.
This says it all. No matter what u do if u do it day in day out you will eventually dislike it. As video games r fun and for u to find it a chore because u do it so much is crazy
Main reason i watch your content is not for ur game play but because of ur detailed information about the game and ur constant updates and shorts about new things happening in the game!
I feel the same. Tired of playing a tournament every pub match
I think what makes your channel unique is the fact that you are a solid good player, but you aren’t overly sweaty about it. Make it seem like you are just having a good time. Your plays are more unique and quirky and that makes it fun. You are a very approachable channel.
Also you main rampart and I do too, so I love that.
You will probably not see this, but thought I would throw it up. Sad to see less content on here, but definitely understand.
Honestly Same! This is the first season where I have actually taken a break from the game since season 0. Thank You for sharing.
Well I still respect the way the channel is, especially being so cracked at apex. Switching it up and having fun with it is great
I really like that you don’t complain as much as other apex creators and overall the vibe is very positive and fun. Also you’re the only person who liked rampart since way back and made her look fun. Kandyrew Boomrazzle and yourself are the apex creators I enjoy watching most.
i always enjoyed your science videos, going all the way back to testing movement speeds and rumor debunking. ive really enjoyed seeing your progression overall. youve come a long way, skill wise and production level. cheers
Hard to say exactly why i watch your content.
Part of it is you being a Rampart main. But mostly it's because you're super chill and the sort of person i would want to play with. Also you're actually REALLY good at the game and when you play Rampart it's like I'm playing vicariously through you 🤣
Seeing your thoughts as well really helps me understand the game and players better
I like to see the imperfect games as well and the one's where you do discussion I personally have seen an improvement in my game play
I like hearing you talk that’s what sets you part from the rest of the apex content creators it’s like listening to a podcast it’s relaxing
Honestly, vods of streams are great. I even enjoy watching the recordings, because it offers "live" reactions, which is fun. Do what is best and fun for you, and we will be behind you!
I love your content Merchant! The reason I watch you is because you're not an asshole, not toxic, and you're even ok with a defeat. There's something wholesome about you. Besides that, I find your content amusing and helpful. Thanks to you my K/D changed from 0.7 to 1.0 this season. Serious, your tips are golden. Keep up the good work mate!
I personally started watching you because of the shopkeeper videos you used to do & I enjoy watching you have fun doing different ideas either trolling ppl or just learning different tricks you use w the legends.
I've learned a lot about playing Rampart from you. I'm trying to recreate the movement you're able to pull off on console but idk how far I'll get with that.
I also enjoy when you talk about the state of the game. Most of your videos are interesting to me but those are my favorites.
Mostly just keep having fun because it shows in your gameplay & mood in your videos. I'd rather watch you have fun than a top pred sweating all the time.
I watch every video and every short on both this and the ‘also tgm’ channel. Except I especially enjoy watching the challenge videos - I know they’re difficult to make and to get ideas though. I also understand that if you had new challenges every day then it’d get less exciting when you do release one. Now its so exciting when you release a proper challenge video. When you released the new and improved hardcore mode I felt like a child on Christmas. But I do love all your videos even if they’re not challenges. Keep doing what you do, we love you mate.
7:39 The reason you’re such a “unique case” is why I’ve watched you since season 5. I never know what to expect with your videos, and I know there is always something that I’ll like because every day it’s different. Plus you are so thorough with every video and every detail. You’re calming personality is just another reason of many that I continue to watch you even though I barely play the game anymore. Anyways, I know this is long. Cheers mate
You deserve the rest from apex too. We don’t want TGM to get burned out ever again. If you switched to a new game people would still watch you… it’s not just apex that gets you views man
I watch a good amount of your content (not every video), and my favorite videos you make are videos with a subject, like that old video where you reviewed the flatline in Big Maud.
Personally, I love to watch your videos mainly for your own personality and how you have so much experience with one of my favorite games: Apex. I found your channel through your game play videos where you explain exactly what you are doing (your thought process) as you do it. And I LOVE that. Videos like those have helped me improve and understand so much with the game. Besides that, your just, super entertaining to watch. You always have great commentary whether it's a discussion video like this one or a gameplay video like the others!
I also most of your videos. As a casual gamer I like to watch and just see how you move and utilize the different character abilities. That being said, I enjoy the tips and tricks videos.
Giving yourself a more sustainable pace sounds like the right play! Personally, love the idea of seeing different games that reflect your interests on here. I think that a lot of your viewers found you because of your skills in Apex, but many of us continued watching because of your positive attitude, consistent dedication, and affable nature. So, seeing you put those qualities toward other titles/genres would be a lot of fun to watch! (Could even do a community poll for a list of games that you're interested in playing.) Whatever you decide, I'm sure it'll be fun to watch! Best of luck!
I wish you all the best man, I know it can be difficult to break into new territory while keeping the algorithm happy, and I don't envy the pressure you guys are under to maintain momentum.
Will watch anything you put on this channel~ You're a great person and your content mirrors who you are. Do anything, everything. xD
What I have found to be one of the best way to simply take it slow and enjoy the game is to just, follow whatever my teammates want to do; if they push hard every fight, so do I, if they wanna take it slow and play for the win, I'll help them. I also try to go out of my way to find items they need.
It probably doesn't help you much, but I enjoy the variety you do. I like seeing good gameplay, learning new tips, and even hearing your comments about the game/weapons/characters.
bro i watch because i love your love for Apex such an awesome game and you fully explore it, havnt played in weeks but it always on stream, i think ppl just want to see you bro dont over think it
I think a big part of it is you refuse to put out garbage content, all the stuff you put out is top notch. That is a hard thing to do every single time to be honest, and a lot of other creators clickbait with "THE WINGMAN IS GOING IN THE CRAFTER?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!" and talk about that for like 2 mins and then show like less than cool they've hit
You were the second Apex content creator I watched after Shiv, but I have followed you more consistently. You are very clear at relaying tips and other info regarding apex; all while being personable. Thank you for your hard work, please know you are a great content creator and an even better person 👍
I love pro loadouts a lot and challenge videos in general, and i think its great how much content you put out so if you ever need a break nobody is gonna blame you for it
Hi Merchant, long time viewer of your channel! I just want to say your fatigue for Apex is completely understandable, in fact I felt the same way back in Season 12. Since then I've stopped playing but I've still kept in touch with Apex through your channel; it's not that I've come to hate the game or anything but I felt like I found more joy playing some other games that aren't so competitive sometimes. So I completely understand where you are going with this and I support your decision to try something else out; the reduced Apex gameplay may have an impact on the channel, but it's also important to prioritize passion over anything else :)
The thing that attracts me to your content is the overall modest and positive vibes that you bring. The internet, and by extension Apex, has had enough of its share of toxicity, and it's nice to see there are content creators that are more modest for a change. This is why despite I've stopped playing the game, I continue to watch your content.
Perhaps maybe include a game like Titanfall 2 like I mentioned in your previous stream; this way it has ties to Apex and the advanced movement techniques are still present. I know personally I am having a blast playing the game! I also enjoyed your old video of you playing Fortnite as well, just saying. Either way, l'm looking forward to seeing what you have in store for all of us!
Cool, ive had the same exact issue with it becoming harder to play well in general since everyones sweatier now, totally understand your situation. Either way, completely your choice!
Ppl may. have found you through apex but ppl stick around for you. Your insight, your personality etc etc just do what keeps you happy and healthy much love man!
You are generally an awesome person, love the work you put in, just seeing you have fun is amazing.
I love the kind of content where you're talking about the game, what's coming in the near future and even the long term developments.
I also am a really big fan of the original titanfall games and the hole lore around them.
Personally I really like the variety of content that I get from this channel. I don't need to have any sort of expectations because every video is something genuine that you enjoyed and I feel like that extend on to me. It'd be like if a musician made music for what they thought someone else wanted to hear and not what made they wanted to sound like as an artist.
Basically when it comes to creative works of any kind nobody knows better then you, the artist, so make the content you enjoy making the most and I'm sure it will be content that we will also enjoy by extension.
Also if it helps I like the variation from your channel, it’s always evolving as you try new things and it definitely keeps me engaged
