The content creator manager role at Amazon games is frequently changing hands. Originally held be Greg Henninger, it was later handed to Sky the DM when Greg received a promotion. after Sky's departure, the role was left empty for a significant amount of time until his shoes were filled by Max. Now, Max is leaving Amazon Games as well, once again leaving us wondering who will be in charge of managing the New World content creators.

    Waiting for Scot and Katy's exit.

    LOL those creator spotlights pretty much sums up AGS management of New World. They spotlight the biggest content creator they have and then 2 people that don’t even play the game 😂 they’re so clueless, always have been.
  • @Discospawn
    I will always appreciate these videos documenting the little bits of insight into New World's behind-the-scenes news. As far as "content creator" stuff during Max's tenure, there were also those tweets that tried to promote Expedition speedruns as a community event ("Rune Forge Runners"), but without any rules for the speedrun and with a seemingly random selection of Twitch streamers participating. Was the Discord server you were describing the same 1 that AGS was supposed to use for consulting its "Group of Experts" they have always claimed to communicate with? I can't imagine what the New World team actually looks like, or how it functions, at this point. It must some kind of extreme: either no accountability/oversight for any tasks, or micro-management/mis-prioritization that prevents employees from actually doing their jobs properly. Personally, I suspect that the "content-creator manager" position no longer exists within AGS, as part of the plan to no longer support New World as a live-service game after "NW: A" is released.

    The game is practically dead. Is hard to believe that such a beautiful game with wonderful graphics and the best combat failed. I just hope that a miracle happens in October. I'm a big fan of pvp and I stopped playing NW because the pvp is terrible. It makes me sad.
  • @FinchFinley
    AGS hoped those creators that didn't or barely touched NW, would bring their viewers which were non-NW players. So once against, ignore current playerbase and go for new game purchases. I guess this is how buy to play makes developer to behave.
  • @BeeBopGaming
    Max was also the one along with SchmeckNw who got the winter rune forge speed run event going. It was fun being invited in and to be apart of it. Max is a nice guy who really cares about making the game better. He will be missed and best of luck at your new employment.

    I respect the fuck out of dukesloth, your consistency and dedication doesn't go unnoticed. I played new world since launch and quit about 4 months ago. Been a hopium legend for too long. I'm rooting for newworld and hope they can finally give some content after the release of console to keep players around
  • @actosh7670
    Theres nothing to create content for at the moment beside pvp builds. 6000 hours player here.
  • @fatjay9402
    Guys.. New World is ..dead... Oct is just last money grab... and then its off to LOTR
  • @GrisSouris
    The problem with paid ope are that studio needs to reach public that DO NOT play New World in the first place. No need to ad the game to people already playing and AGS must not have the money to pay people already playing the game. But it's also kind of a fail because they kind of never reach people who could really go push the game later on. IE at New World start, they paid some streamers 1000$ even with like 5 ccv and did not reach all creators who pushed the beta and made ad for the game for free, what a pity. I hope they'll get someone this time, but i really think in those kind of position it SHOULD NOT be an US citizen but someone else, just to try a different way of thinking, who could really go in the way MMORPG needs to go with CC.

    You are not shill enough for Amazon to consider you as a proper marketing vector.

    “This parrot is no more! It has ceased to be! It's expired and gone to meet its maker! This is a late parrot! It's a stiff! Bereft of life, it rests in peace! If you hadn't nailed it to the perch, it would be pushing up the daisies! It's rung down the curtain and joined the choir invisible. This is an ex-parrot!”
  • @Ceegore
    5:51 There is your mistake. They don't give a damn about people that play the game, it's all about how many views/viewers they get.
  • @mgw5377
    idk why ags doesn't like Jay oddity but i think they only want to work with people who shill for them
  • @GenDrake3
    Pretty sure deadshotdevi was a selection similar to how people were selected for star wars acolyte😂😂😂😂.
  • @West-Walker
    Can’t wait for console release ❤ played over 400 hours on pc but sold up and downgraded to ps5. Really hope they put time into it because it honestly has potential to be even better then ESO
  • @jahloveinfla
    ags has done nothing but display their disloyalty to both the community and creators
