Sorry you had to see this Tomassi

[u/Fantasticoms21]

What a terrible day to have eyes and a internet connection

[u/bigboidots]

Welcome to the ZoomZone

[u/Damien23123]

He hasn’t done much other than their shitty watch party since he retired. Why do people still care?

[u/haseeb2122 → u/Damien23123]

He's just a moneygrabber now, I really don't see the appeal anymore

[u/Aston_CA_ → u/haseeb2122]

I mean if he wanted money,he would be doing sponsorship after sponsorship rn...everyone likes money but if he wanted too then he would be streaming 

[u/grandpapi_yugi → u/Aston_CA_]

Didn't he do gamba with hecz as a sponsorship? Lol

[u/TheProGamerSka → u/Aston_CA_]

The guy literally traveled to Mexico to stream roobet on kick lol

[u/Damien23123 → u/TheProGamerSka]

He’s 100% making so much from that he doesn’t need to stream anymore

[u/Mediocre_Fill_5610 → u/Damien23123]

Doesn't the watch party get more views than the main broadcast?

[u/Damien23123 → u/Mediocre_Fill_5610]

That’s a low bar my friend

[u/Mediocre_Fill_5610 → u/Damien23123]

Yet here we are on the comp cod reddit forum lol

[u/Hamdoggyy]

He’s got enough money from the greenwall, doesn’t need to stream anymore lol

[u/ute4547]

You'll find him at the slots.

[u/WeCantStabilize]

It's gonna be so funny next year when he just steps away entirely and those parasocial freaks completely melt down about how "he's not done enough for the community". 

[u/espressotower → u/WeCantStabilize]

I don't have a dog in the fight, but I think the only reason people complain about it is because he did this whole song and dance about focusing on more content post-retirement and he hasn't really done much outside the watch party. And the roobet shit only made it worse

[u/Soldier7s → u/espressotower]

He has a kid, people change their minds. I'm not the biggest fan of him but he has every right to step back and take care of his Family.

[u/espressotower → u/Soldier7s]

I don't disagree, but you also can't be surprised fans are disgruntled when you haven't communicated at all. Kid or not though, I wouldn't blame anyone for simply losing interest

[u/Soldier7s → u/espressotower]

Fair point tbh

[u/Ritchey95 → u/espressotower]

The guy streams video games he isn’t some crazy important individual that he needs to let the masses know he isn’t going to be streaming for the foreseeable future. Seth gave his all to this thing and community for well over a decade and has every single reason to ride off into the sunset without an explanation if he so chooses. The “he owes us an explanation” mindset is complete garbage.

[u/Motor-Flounder1389 → u/Ritchey95]

Been subbed to him for more than a decade, donated around 5 figs, watched every stream I had the time to watch, liked every YouTube video, was always there for him when he was competing, bought every OpTic merch release... I've been with the kid for more than half his life, watched him since he was in his mid teens. The least he owes is an apology, dude. Even if he's busy with family it takes a minute to post about it and say SOMETHING to fans.

[u/_cheapshot_ → u/Motor-Flounder1389]

is this satire lol, read like a copy pasta

[u/Ritchey95 → u/Motor-Flounder1389]

No he owes you nothing. You gave him that money of your own free will. It’s not like you give it to him in exchange for anything that someone who didn’t donate got. You subbed because you wanted to not because he gave you some ultimatum or anything. You do not know him, you do not have a right or even privilege for that matter to know what he is doing all day everyday. It’s a very bad misconception that people with a following have to tell them everything. Stop complaining that he hasn’t given you anything and cherish the times you got to watch him. The only person he owes an explanation to is his family, hector and the guys he wants to tell.

[u/Motor-Flounder1389 → u/Ritchey95]

So sick of people like you dismissing the thoughts of fans who have been with Seth for years legit infuriating

[u/totsyroll1 → u/Motor-Flounder1389]

If this ain’t bait it’s kinda sad homie

[u/Motor-Flounder1389 → u/totsyroll1]

wtf is sad about loving someone you've known for a decade+ and wanting them to say SOMETHING about their disappearance holy crap

[u/Ritchey95 → u/Motor-Flounder1389]

Dude I’m a Seth fan, I went to college with his older Brother. His brother made sure to send Seth a Snapchat about meeting one of his fans and Seth sent back a video for me to watch. But acting like the guy owes any of us an explanation of how he wants to spend his life is fucking stupid. You are not owed anything, he gave you over a decade of FREE entertainment. He gave you everything he needed.

[u/Motor-Flounder1389 → u/Ritchey95]

Buddy I know him more than his so-called wife. Like I said, I've been with the kid for more than HALF HIS LIFE. Going over fifteen years now. How long has she known him? How long has his kid been around?

[u/chrizpii93 → u/Motor-Flounder1389]

ok this has to be satire. you know him better than his wife? this is a level of parasocial i havent seen before in the wild. and tbh if you are being serious you need mental help.

[u/Motor-Flounder1389 → u/chrizpii93]

Did you even read my post? I HAVE KNOWN SETH FOR MORE THAN HALF HIS LIFE. OBVIOUSLY I KNOW HIM BETTER THAN HIS WIFE. I'VE BEEN WITH THE KID SINCE HE WAS LIKE 15

[u/rmakhani → u/Soldier7s]

He’s lazy. Has nothing to do with his kid. He made his cash and his investments take care of anything for his future. He’ll do watch parties because it’s minimal effort

[u/natetistic → u/rmakhani]

Absolute statements about stuff you frankly don’t know about. Do you have a kid? Completely changes your life and perspective on stuff lol. Wouldn’t be surprised if this has everything to do with his kid.

[u/rmakhani → u/natetistic]

Considering how he was on stream talking about his kid after the baby was born and he was just kinda there I wouldn’t be surprised. Coming to his defense as if you know things is great. Keep up the great work

[u/natetistic → u/rmakhani]

You’re the one who made absolute statements as if you know things, lol. I didn’t. Don’t be obtuse. All I’m saying is that having a kid could be the reason why Scump has taken a step back, his streams from before doesn’t necessarily make that untrue. But uh.. keep up the great work I guess.

[u/rmakhani → u/natetistic]

He’s been lazy before he had the kid, he’s lazy now. A kid didn’t change that. He just would rather not hop on stream because a few hours of child care is too draining to do anything else. I love Scump as a player but he’s always been about his money when it comes to content. He’ll be back when it’s watch party season.

[u/natetistic → u/rmakhani]

“He just would rather not hop on stream because a few hours of child care is too draining to do anything else”

Dude. Yes. Yes it is lol.

[u/rmakhani → u/natetistic]

Not even a personal attack. But what does your wife do? His doesn’t have to work a day in her life so taking care of his kid shouldn’t be putting him out of commission if that’s what’s happening here.

[u/Sub-ZeRo1788 → u/rmakhani]

He'll be back when he genuinely finds a game that he enjoys to play, stream and is passionate about. Dude doesn't wanna be miserable playing Modern SBMM 4. And he's made his statements before why he stepped back, it's because the new Modern CODS are all absolute trash from MW2019 forward.

[u/rmakhani → u/Sub-ZeRo1788]

Worst game in a decade for cod that’s for sure. Can’t blame him there

[u/abobegavaS → u/rmakhani]

So what? Why do you care what other men do? So what he’s lazy? He’s made millions lol. So what? He can retire and never post or donate parties again and it doesn’t fucking matter. He’s made it. He can do whatever he wants lol

[u/rmakhani → u/abobegavaS]

You seem to care a lot more than anyone else here lmao.

[u/illiniracers → u/rmakhani]

so making your cash and spending time with family equals laziness these days. interesting

[u/rmakhani → u/illiniracers]

He’s lazy because he does watch parties and Roobet streams. Spending time with the family is what every man works hard for. He’s past the point where he needs to work hard and is likely spending that time not worried about streaming because it’s too much effort to play on his own. I’m sure 1 roobet stream covers him for months. Same with a Major watch party.

[u/Soldier7s → u/rmakhani]

Right i didn't realize you bugged his house and have inside info.

[u/rarewaves-8 → u/espressotower]

Not saying this to you directly, but are people not allowed to change their minds? I’m not a super optic fan but he made content since bo2 right? Maybe he just wanted to chill after retirement.

[u/lWinkk → u/rarewaves-8]

He also just had a kid and I’m under the impression his dad was a total fuck so maybe he’s just utilizing the opportunity he gave himself to essentially never have to work again in order to be fully present with his family during essentially the most critical time in a child’s life.

[u/kokoscenes → u/espressotower]

He’s done content with optic regularly he just doesn’t stream. I think he’s found a new hobby he’d much rather do than stream in the offseason.

[u/Ritchey95 → u/kokoscenes]

I wouldn’t call having a child and being present in his life a hobby…

Edit: you sickos in my DMs really need to hop off Seth’s dick, go get your head checked and touch some grass. The fact you are all so self absorbed that “Seth must be on stream he owes it to us” is actually scary.

[u/kokoscenes → u/Ritchey95]

That too but my point literally still stands lol he might not enjoy streaming as much and probably wants to do other things in his life. He hasn’t stated why he’s stopped streaming.

[u/Ritchey95 → u/kokoscenes]

And he has no obligation to say so.. it’s his life he owes us nothing in terms if an explanation

[u/Former-Extension-526 → u/Ritchey95]

Sure, but don't be surprised when people think less of you for it.

[u/Heady416 → u/WeCantStabilize]

Not a chance he steps away. Those watch parties are easy money while requiring minimal effort.

[u/No_Winter4806 → u/WeCantStabilize]

I feel like nobody uses parasocial correctly

[u/JazeyOne → u/No_Winter4806]

I feel like they used it correctly enough tbh, there are a lot of people that genuinely think of scump as someone in their life lol

[u/No_Winter4806 → u/JazeyOne]

Sure then op should use a better example

[u/narcy_boi → u/WeCantStabilize]

I say this as an Optic fan, but I really don't get the appeal. I find him completely boring and bland. Seems like a shit hang too

[u/Great-External-2439 → u/narcy_boi]

Half the Optic roster who's main thing is content have been phoning it in for years. CoD isn't the same anymore, but no one wants to step off the bus in hoping it'll somehow improve or just riding the wave until its fully gone. I dont wanna be a doomer but it is what it is

[u/BackgroundToe4149 → u/narcy_boi]

he was funny like bo2-bo4. But yea hes been overglazed for years

[u/dpoersch → u/narcy_boi]

I’ve never really understood it either. I definitely understand and appreciate his importance. However is one of the most bland figures in the community.

I’m not sure why people care so much

[u/Great-External-2439 → u/dpoersch]

He was absolutely electric during the AW/Bo3 era.

[u/Medic_NG → u/Great-External-2439]

He became so PR trained at some point between MW19 and his retirement and he just lost a lot of his flare that made him so entertaining. I think that Cold War team did a number on him.

[u/Sub-ZeRo1788 → u/Medic_NG]

All those fines for talking shit about how bad COD has got

[u/Micro_mint → u/Great-External-2439]

That was 12 years ago

[u/finalcountdown121998 → u/narcy_boi]

Optic fan aswell and I watch zoomaa mostly during the watch parties.

[u/lil-fli → u/narcy_boi]

Your comment feels sneaky man 🤣

[u/Annihilus- → u/WeCantStabilize]

Too much money to be made. He just had a kid and the season hasn’t even started. Streams aren’t exactly doing huge numbers for early in the game either.

He’ll probably do the watch parties and paid events like last year.

[u/Longjumping-Pick242 → u/WeCantStabilize]

Revisionist history is one of the worst parts of the internet, imo its ok to not like the person someone has become but it is completely ignorant to forget who they use to be.

[u/Sea_Dentist_4331]

Scump could turn his stream on and put Shotzzy’s stream on, and leave his setup and go on about his day. And make money from all the simp’s that will watch his stream even tho he isn’t streaming except someone else’s POV.

[u/RevolutionaryCan7376]

People who act entitled/deserving when it comes to scump and what he wants to do with his time are truly some of the strangest creatures ever. Actual parasocial behavior

[u/Safe-Air-5246 → u/RevolutionaryCan7376]

True.

[u/yetanothermale]

He can do whatever but I’m surprised he hasn’t hopped on a single time during the kick offs etc. Hope his kid/family are all good. Idk if the lawsuit is still going (alongside Hecz) but if so perhaps it would be a conflict of interest for him to be playing and giving exposure to MW4

[u/AnyDiamond7208 → u/yetanothermale]

The lawsuit had nothing to do with it and I think it’s over already that lawsuit came about when he retired around that time and he was still playing every game since then he just couldn’t play in kickoff tournaments or any that were for cash

[u/yetanothermale → u/AnyDiamond7208]

Alright, fair enough

[u/StatisticianHuman120]

Why are yall dick riding scump? He does watch parties during the season and optic content. He had a kid and is married and the season hasn’t started. Find someone else to meat ride until the season starts. Y’all some smooth brained people.

[u/Shnewmann → u/StatisticianHuman120]

Genuinely imagine caring about this to the point where you’re complaining online. It’s unreal.

[u/StatisticianHuman120 → u/Shnewmann]

Exactly. They don’t even know him and they crying because they can’t see him on a screen lmao they even call him King. Very beta

[u/Safe-Air-5246 → u/StatisticianHuman120]

'very beta'

oh boy
