Thank you for your support this year!

At the start of December I posted about how I would be releasing fewer videos over the month and spending sometime with friends and family, your support has allowed me to take that step back from work and see the people important to me.
That break has helped me greatly both mentally and physically, and It's helped prepare me for the next year.
2022 will see the main channel 'Josh Strife Hayes' continue to put out MMO based content, including the 'worst mmo ever' series and opinion videos on MMO design and updates on upcoming games.
The second cannel 'Josh Strife Plays' will continue to be updated with longer form, retro reviews of classic games, from platformers like tomb raider to rpg's like morrowind and everything inbetween.
The clip channel 'Josh Strife Says' featuring the best of the twitch streams will continue to grow and is now all official and being managed by a trusted 3rd party.
Several times of the last year I have put out a video focusing on drama, like the blizzard debacle, or a video I wasn't completely happy with, like 'content creators vs amazon' which i feel needed more research. These videos were released to hit an algorithm threshold and keep the youtube overlords happy, however, I will not do this in 2022...
I will only release finished, well researched videos focused on game design or important updates, you the audience deserve the highest quality, and that's the focus of the next year, quality over quantity (but still a decent quantity of quality!)
I hope to continue to be worth your support, I hope you have all had a Merry Christmas, and I wish you and your family the happiest of New Years :)

It was the Worst MMO Vindictus episode. I used to play that game ages but I was excited to see how it changed. Suffice to say I fell head first into your videos, I love your critiques and your journeys through the games. Thank you for making the tail end of a year that much more full of knowledge and entertainment and fun!

2022-01-03 23:43:58 +0000 UTCHappy holidays to you Josh! I am so glad you are having a lovely break. I actually like your point of view about the current news and commentary in the mmo space, it's how I found kiratv. I would personally prefer if you kept making those videos but I understand if you do not wish to.

2021-12-29 20:11:18 +0000 UTCLeaving this comment is weird since it will make it seem like I care more than I do, but I appreciate hearing about your reflections on the Amazon vid. It seemed a bit harsh given a resolution and explanation was already out there. Love the passion though!
