I've been seeing creators get backlash for joining the Rust x KICK event, and I'm going to say my piece because of how dumb some of these takes are. For context, I'll be running the Rust KICK Off event with my team. We've got an amazing show planned with talent from all over the Rust scene (and more) joining. But I'm reading threads attacking creators like @TeaGuyTom for simply joining the event... because "Kick is bad" is the narrative? The reality is, neither Twitch nor Kick are perfect... I don't need to go into the details, each side has its issues that need to be worked on, and we all know that. But attacking creators for joining a Kick event is major hypocrisy when Twitch has damn near worse things going on, yet people are silent about that. At the end of the day, I'm team Rust. When Rust has opportunities like this to grow the game to new audiences, and be the first drops on @kick , that is what helps push the game. I commend the bravery of all the creators that have stepped forward to participate in this event knowing some backlash may come. Don’t let these people control your decision. As the host of the event I'll be right there taking the backlash with you.
