There are about a dozen super good videos I could link about this, so for the sake of this post, I'm going to link the main allegations as the actual focus, and then a couple supplementary videos by Technicals and two SoT content creators. (AShinyRay's Video [a SoT content creator], Technical's 2nd Video [provides new context and corrections from his end], L8dyHysteria's video [a SoT content creator])

The TLDR is that a SoT Boatswain aka a community representative/content creator named Bruno was found to be a pedophile, with multiple child victims of various degrees including asking children for nudes, tons of sexual jokes with children, and a bluesky filled with shit like that. Rare did drop them, but the problem for Rare doesn't stop there: the community voted against Bruno ever even becoming a person in power a year before most of these allegations came to light because he had already been found to be inappropriate with minors, and the head community manager at Rare overruled. Then, multiple other Boatswains and community managers got outed as ALSO being pedophiles, which lead to multiple content creators quitting Sea of Thieves.

The community is overall, falling to pieces, and it will probably permanently damage Rare as a company, who were already in the hot seat for SoT, given how poorly they treated customers and content creators.

I have just ran through and seen everything besides community ID card and badge, done all riddles.

Riddles, good, locations, good. Don't like how Saga and Alan's outfits were handled, they don't look right. The Writer card looks good.

Problem is, the gameplay. The cosmetic update really put a bunch holes in the ship, me and my group have had CONSTANT nonstop crashes, and when that happens words of powers + dolls reset. Oh and some ghosts are completely bugged. I get the evidence for a Jinn, it's a Poltergeist! Had a Raiju see me through walls with no equipment on me.

As far as gameplay of the event, yeah I mean I like the Cult of the Tree and Cult of the Word stuff, but I don't like how Shades were handled. Instead of burning them with flashlight, ya burn them with angel lamp. And sometimes if you have hiding places blocked off so you can't burn them, and the act of burning them is itself not great. The shades add a lot of atmosphere to the events. Burning them gets rid of that.

Also, is anybody else's game ***darker*** since the update? It's incredibly hard to see stuff sometimes.

So the context of this video is that Airrack is kind of a Mr Beast clone, been featured on this sub before for other reasons, and he made a video pretty much only gambling and clearly trying to get people to go gamble at the casino. MKAndy, a primarily chess focused YTer (from what I can see) makes not one, but two videos criticizing him for this. (https://youtu.be/7V50\_y00SFM?si=7Ri9hZaIqoyLg7Gp #2)

The reason why I posted it here is because gambling's actually a pretty big epidemic these days, and I feel as though there's not enough people criticizing creators who take gambling sponsorships or make pro gambling content, despite it being a major addiction, and a major cause of financial hardship. Almost everything these days is tied to gambling of some kind, from video games, company decisions to literal wars and attacks on people.

I think this sub would actually appreciate this video overall.

For context, the Quartering is a "non political" aka right leaning media and drama coverage channel, commentary if you will, who has run 10 or more channels over the years and constantly ends in major drama.

This video covers lesser known events such as him having a Bree Larson shed, to much more known events such as him pissing in his basement/garage constantly. In a lot of respects, this is covering his descent into lolcowdom.

My apologies in advance for all the things you will hear and see throughout this video if you choose to watch it.

They balance the game as if bugs, squids and automatons will rage quit if the game gets too hard for them.
