Honestly, they were probably just as upset with him for wasting company time as they were with him having a checkered online persona.

It is amusing he is getting into Neo Geo stuff though. I think he's addicted to finding niche hobbies with deep pockets.

Anyhow, I always found Chris entertaining. He's a mess of a person, but the kind of car wreck you can't look away from.

His contributions to the hobby were significant, although hard to quantify and it greatly varies from person to person. He probably had just as many legitimate good points and insights as bad takes.

Hope the best for him and his family. Now Macho can finally claim title as the People's Champion.

Having com in well after Kaneda's ban, the only thing I could really fault him for was his drink throwing incident at New York City Championship. And having listened to him for a year or two, he probably does have a legitimate problem with anger and alcohol.

Everything else seemed like fairly typical online bullshit/trolling/argumenting/taunting. Immature sure, but mostly just a loud mouth popping off and refusing to be silent out of spite (I'm amazed at how long the spite drove his podcast)

Idk. We at least get new games to collect. Things gotta be bleak over there. (Although a Windjammers 2 and a new Metal Slug are in the works - just not for the MVS)
