Recently, popular Twitch streamer Felix "xQc" Lengyel has stated on a Grand Thet Auto Online RP stream that the experience is starting to become miserable. This instance being a case of the many times Twitch streamers feel like they have to put up with a game for the sake of views, sadly, that stress can eventually reach its breaking point.
During a stream yesterday, some fans were mad that xQc was doing a NoPixel server adventure mission and desperately pleaded that he do something else. Angrily, xQC lashed out and yelled that he feels like grinding through the game is a struggle to enjoy anymore. Giving pixelated money to fake people for a game he feels like no one cares for anymore is "the most miserable dogs*** in gaming."
He was even close to banning the viewer that started this whole incident. To him, it feels like GTA roleplaying is a way for sad people to pretend to be someone else in order to feel better about themselves. Which, in his eyes, is a degenerate act of humankind.
Apparently, in the past, xQc has struggled with pleasing his GTA RP fans and trying to do what they like, afraid of all the hatred he gets when he makes mistakes. This pressure was especially prevalent in the way he would interact with other content creators on the server. Afraid to be himself, he felt like he had to please his fans more, which did not feel natural or enjoyable to him. In comparison, he relates this stress to the many times xQc has been banned from the NoPixel server.
Shockingly enough, this is not the first time that xQc has lashed out over GTA RP. This comes after last week where he was strongly considering leaving the NoPixel server altogether. However, it's clear what decision he made after that, so he might still be playing for a little longer despite all this. Luckily for xQc, GTA RP servers are slowly losing traction on Twitch with viewership in favor of newer games, so his time with the game will most likely be coming to an end soon.
As much fun as it is for some fans to witness his adventures through the world, it is essential to remember that the streamer's mental health comes first. Clearly, this is something that has been bothering xQc for a while. True fans of his will appreciate whatever game he decides to play next, and if they aren't happy, then they can always find another streamer to watch.
