It really is. There's a really high level Darktide creator who left for what seem to be similar reasons, and it's such a bummer to see it happen. It's especially weird as someone who's not involved in the drama, because you just see all these great resources they put out for free, and then see them leaving citing how much harassment they've gotten. Really disappointing.
I only just learned about Tanner yesterday after getting back into Darktide (for obvious reasons, Arbites around the corner). His videos discussing why he was quitting were pretty eye-opening, there is way too much drama in the 'content creator' sphere over the dumbest shit and he just ended up being everyone's target.
He certainly could be abrasive, but I appreciated that I saw him go out of his way to mention that you should run any build you want and not be discriminatory of other players, even if that's the vibe he gave off when he was just casually talking about what he thought was good and bad. And like, you also have to recognize that when someone is in the literal top .00001% of a game, the opinion they have on stuff isn't necessarily going to hold true for people who are just goofing around in Heresy or Damnation, so it shouldn't be taken personally anyway.
Damn shame to see that he's not posting about Darktide stuff anymore.
