“Ain’t no way,” wrote one user. While a similar comment reads: “This is so funny.”
Others stood behind Dan’s decision, saying that this is reaching.
“I like how everyone complained about the old CEO because he had no presence. The second a new one comes and starts putting himself out there and collabing and talking with streamers people start microanalyzing every action. No wonder it was how it was and I’m not even defending,” said the user.
