CohhCarnage Is Disappointed

The Game Awards 2021 were slammed by Ben “CohhCarnage” Cassell, who claimed that he felt “disrespected” by the presentation this year due to the manner it was handled.

Throughout the show’s run, the streamer grumbled about the show’s constant promotion of other creators. This was despite having invited CohhCarnage and several other streamers to livestream it without being DMCA’ed by their copyright system.

The Game Awards 2021 was a three-hour show with a mix of award presentations and game trailer announcements. To say the least, it generated a lot of buzz and excitement during the event. Twitch streamer CohhCarnage, on the other hand, is said to have been dissatisfied with the way the awards show’s live stream was conducted.

On his most recent stream, he recapped the show’s events and news, offering his comments along the way. Here’s what he stated; “I have to say that it was incredibly disheartening and felt relatively disrespectful to be invited to watch a show on my Twitch channel and then have multiple times- have advertisements taking up the show of the show basically asking my audience to go watch another Twitch stream. I felt like that was cheapening the experience and I felt like.. that was kind of disrespectful to what I’m doing and kind of, trying to help him do his thing.”

CohhCarnage gave an example for people who couldn’t see the broadcast or needed a refresher on how other streamers were promoted adding; “So last night, four to five times, basically at random parts in the show, a streamer would pop up and say, ‘Hey, I’m watching the show right now, you should come watch me on this stream!'”

Many people thought CohhCarnage was being “entitled” by refusing to have other streamers advertised while he was watching the show. Others hit back, claiming that the show had allegedly given him and others permission to stream it, saving them from DMCA strikes and turning it into a “co-streaming” event.
