Hey Ageofnoob, man that's so rough and so unfair. Loved your content. I wish you all the best. I would like to donate, however it currently says "Sorry, you can't donate in this country or region yet"... I am from Australia. Cheers
@@davidgoode8096 Hey David - thank you for the well wishes. I just found out that Australia is not supported on TH-cam for fundraising... very odd. Sorry about that, but thank you nevertheless for considering to donate my friend. ❤
Wow thank you for the shout out, it means so much!
You showed tremendous integrity by standing up against predatory microtransactions. Far too many people just accept the rampant greed that is slowly killing the gaming industry as a whole. I know it doesn't mean much, but thank you for what you did.
It is corpo doing corpo things. Doesn't matter to them if they sell cars, processed food or games.
As long as they can get away with it they will cut corners. And while some products start killing the user, games can practically be as shit as they want, with chinese mobile garbage being the current lowpoint in quality.
Some filth cannot be cleansed by "voting with your wallet", especially since one thinking mans vote stands against god knows how many sad, chinese drone consumers (not calling those addicts gamers).
Sad to see you go. Loved all your videos and content! It’s unfortunate how sharing your opinion can be soo detrimental. Definitely appreciate your candid and honest opinion and thoughts! Best of luck in all your future endeavors!!! Cheers!
This makes me sad....glad to see you stood up for what matters
Ah man, this sucks. I joined back when AOE4 started and you wanted to jump into the content creation scene to create beginner friendly content for AOE4. It was awesome and I really felt like I had joined a soon-to-be successful and thriving community nice and early.
I've really enjoyed commenting about my experience with AOE3 and drawing the comparisons for you between it and AOE4, and I think you've found that interesting every time, seeing the source and inspiration for the fun stuff the devs made for AOE4. Contributing like this, supporting you and being a part of your community has been really fun.
It's been an amazing journey, and honestly, I think you have been a success here on TH-cam. It's been a tumultuous ride, but mate, your content has been great and you should be proud of what you have accomplished. Sure, it ends on this sour note, but don't look at the finale to judge the journey - this is but a drop in the whole story of Age of Noob and it's been a great story.
I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with you on Gamenoob. It's a channel that's designed for your own thoughts, and much less bound by the contracts that this channel kept you in. I hope you feel more free, more open and more creative on Gamenoob than you ever did here. Keep your head up Noob, because you're a creative guy with a passion that most people don't have. You're rare, you're valuable, and nobody wants to lose you. Keep listening to your heart, and know that you'll have a following wherever it takes you.
Much love dude, see you on the flip side.
not airing the dirty laundry is why they keep doing shit like this.
yeah but he may get sued for that
@@CptSquirrel Correct, and this is called Censorship that companies like to mask as "NDA".
@@CptSquirrel If he has proof of the actions of some individuals/any of the companies as a whole or parties internal to them, then he can present it. If by some chance it gives detailed information on something that he agreed to keep hidden, then I would think just BLACK those out & continue.
If it's just a direct reveal of things that were said or done & it was provided as a perspective/opinion piece it largely should be fine. Since in-essence, that's what his first two videoes were. It probably would be best to start the process so that those 2 videoes could be used as evidence of the order of things too, since most of us didn't get to watch them - that would also be a nice benefit.
At the same time, whoever airs it gets their lives destroyed. Imagine if people like Viper, T90, Hera and the others would voice this. Microsoft would dunk on them.
Sad to see you go, but hope to see more on GameNoob
Running a youtube channel is a labour-intensive project at the best of times, so I can't imagine keeping up the motivation while also dealing with behind-the-scenes drama. Thankfully I tend to keep to my own little nook so I've been able to avoid that myself haha
A bibliophile following a gaming channel? HERESY!! I was told gaming was the death of reading... Also when next video? :)
Thanks for the run, it was a pleasure
Absolutely gutted for you mate. We started out at roughly the same time i think and i have always been blown away by the quality of your work.
Not airing the dirty laundry lets these bullies get away with it.
yeah this ^
He works at Microsoft. He has nothing to gain from this anymore.
I have appreciated your analysis. This is a big loss for the AOE4 community. Thanks for your work.
Been a blast, loved following you here. Go make whatever you love!
Wishing you the very best. Thanks for all the content throughout the years. Cheers!
I salute you sir. Thank you for all the guides and wisdom!
Arkandayız Reyis, dik duruşunla gönlümüze taht kurdun!!!
Yolun anlın gibi ak olsun❤
Thanks for all the amazing videos! I wish you the best in your future projects.
Good luck
Good luck on your future endeavors.
I'm sad for what happened, I really liked your videos.
RIP dude, loved your pre DLC video on the new/variant civs.
Let's be honest here! This whole RTS franchise is endangered nowadays and we are dealing with around 20k ppl in my favorite game age4. It's dying and still they manage to ban somebody like you. Your videos surely made ppl come back to age of empires or inspired them to play it.... Fuck mobile games, especially those with loot box bs.
THE AMOUNT OF MONEY THEY LOST BY YOU TELLING THE TRUTH AND WHAT IS RIGHT IS NOT EVEN HALF AS MUCH AS THEY ARE LOSING BY LOSING YOU AS A CONTENT CREATOR in the long run !!!!
I was watching every single video once it's online and learned a ton of information. Have my daddy duty and was not playing for 2 months but a video with all those beautiful detail would make me play again.
It's sad how they earn more by scamming mobile kids in those days.
The Age community won't be the same without you. Wish you the best!
I will support you in what ever you're up to next.
I think you greatly underestimate what small creators make in YT and how much made with mobile f2p games...
Mobile gaming makes more money than ALL of PC and console gaming combined. They know where the money is I'm afraid.
Do you mean monthly active players or 20k concurrent players? 20k concurrent is like Top 50 on Steam most days. Age of Empires 2 is usually close to that and more alive than ever. Not dying just niche. Even Palworld dropped to around 10k and it's far from Dying
Thanks for all your hard work and top tier quality content. You will be missed!
All the best on your future endeavors, AoN. Assalamu alaikum 🫡
Thanks alot for all of your amazing videos, and looking forward to what GameNoob has in store for us
Sad to see you go man I’m also a creator and semi retired due to mental health
sorry to see you go, your content set itself apart and was often my most sought and favorite AoE content
You had the prettiest videos on Age of Empires, and I used so many as a way to get better at the game. Thank you for everything ❤️ we will always be here for you if you ever come back to Age of Noob.
He really made playing AOE IV a better experience, so many people struggle with early economy and late military. Age of Noob was a tower of strength in this community.
Bro your content is amazing sad to see you go!. Please share any future channels so we can find your content!
Your videos helped me alot playing AoE4 keeping up with my older brothers and friends that play more than I do and they were surprised to see how much Ive progressed because of you! Very proud of you for standing up to your beliefs in such a toxic gaming environment.
I just started playing aoe4 because of the steam sale and your videos are really helpful!
Thank you very much for these and for standing up against predatory design
Thank you so much Age of Noob for well-made, high-quality AoE videos. You made me really enjoy the game
You were the first youtuber to ever get me into Age of Empires, I made my first ever video after being inspired by you and was beyond excited when i recieved your comment. Its still there on my first video. I appreciate you so much man and I hope only the best for you. Peace out Numan. I can never express my appreciation enough brother.
Numan I was your 28th sub after watching your facebook spearman posts. I miss your streams during the pandemic, our 2v2s, your casting, AoN cups. It was the first time I interacted with the aoe community. Thank you and hope we have an AoN 4 cup sometime. Greetings from Elgo Lazo
I wish I could say more right now, but. Thank you, I wish you success in your future projects, and happiness in life. Don't regret being honest and caring as the other option would be helping predators strive. You did the right thing, and while it's sad to see you go, I thank you again for this brick in the more manhandled than ever, wall of life. You can be proud, and be assured that your sacrifice has and will inspire others.
ps: I know that it's tempting to leave all of this behind and put an end to this, but now that you have nothing to lose, maybe you can try to shine the more lights possible to this story and warn and inspire as many as you can! But take care of yourself first and foremost, whatever you do next, I'm proud.
I'm not crying.... you are! what a chad! ty for the contant sir!
I loved your videos. Sad to see you go
Thank you for all that you have done for the AOE 4 community!
karenamu saya menyukai game age of empires 2 dan 4, terima kasih.
Man what a ride..
if you are ever in germany, firt beer is on me
Duruşunu çok takdir ediyorum. Yolun açık olsun.
What is this BS that if you don't like one of their games, they remove you? I swear video game companies these days, they treat CCs, or the smaller ones as not important as compared to big ones.
I've come to your channel 4-5 years ago. Especially during the AOEIV release. You created a brilliant channel with AOE. There are very few content creators like you that made unique content on this.
It sucks, but I hope you move onto better pastures.
This is also a reminder to me as well: I never trust video game company programs, but if I get in great, if they remove me it ain't the end of world.
this would not happen in germany, as the product would get banned
Supposedly he violated some kind of agreement
@@alejandrocanelo3058 even if he does, how can anyone defend age of empires mobile? It’s not age of empires, it’s a clone copy of all the cheap rip offs of stragety game clone. Instead of remaking AOE into something unique, which is playing Age of Empires to mobile, we got some Clash of Clans etc.
@@AEGISAOEin your country you have stronger labour laws. In other western countries, it doesn’t exist.
Common thing in the game industry, they'll cut your insider early access and partner status if you don't continue giving a positive lens on their content. This has plagued some communities which has lead to years and years of shit content receiving praise from the media creators (such as Total War franchise, or Paradox Interactive games). Its an ugly cycle that weeds out those with integrity
Heyy, as your 16th subscriber this makes me really sad. Thank you for all you've done for the community and for keeping your integrity:)
You'll be missed!
Your style, voice, methodology, and editing has made your videos the easiest to digest, understand, and implement. I still occasionally watch the Top 50 Tips video for things I may have slacked on. Looking forward to more from your Gamenoob channel. Really wish this didn't happen to you. Hope Age of Mobile flops harder than a fish on a beach being eaten by ants.
Good bye, i always loved your content!!
After what you got I'm not surprised, better to find a better way to spend your time.
Ahh… Kyne’s peace…. Magnificent choice of music
Beyond impressed and fantastic to hear you stood up to predatory monetization! That is rare in today's over-hyped environment of promoting for the sake of promoting not because your thoughts/opinions align with what you are promoting!
Kudos!
I'm sure great things are in the future for you!
Thank you for all the videos you've made!
i'll say this: while it hurts that you won't be publishing content on AoE anymore, any other game you'll be covering is... lucky to have you doing that.
THANKS for all your work so far. thoroughly enjoyed it!
We’ll miss you, the true goat
A person with your talent won't be lacking opportunities. It's their loss.
Thank you for staying honest.
It feels like a waste leaving this channel like this, why not just convert it to GameNoob instead of making a new one? I'm sure people will understand that you had a change of interest, it feels rough that you're starting over again that it might kill your whole content creation career/Hobby if that channel doesn't kick off like you wanted it to
Stay strong brother
Sad to see you go, looking forward to gamenoob content.
It's so sad when we are uploading content appreciated by the whole community also getting decent views
But because of all other things moving in the opposite direction we are forced to quit :(
Will always miss you , your bigger guide videos were a blessing for me making me reach from bronze 1 at that time to conq 1 today
Good bye and have a pleasant new path ahead off you.
Well done on not gossiping
That shows a high level of integrity
Goodnight, sweet prince. I'll be eagerly waiting for Gamenoob content.
Indeed a pretty horrible situation, a fatality, your content was always top notch. Would have been best to simply ignore the mobile game instead of lifting flags against it, since it appeals to a completely different audience, and the general AoE player would not have much interest into that. And like many examples in the industry, mobile games that come as spin-offs from some real games tend to flop pretty often.
I was so fortunate to find you back then, when AoE IV did not even exist, and I just wanted to learn how to be a better AoE II player. Then every AoE IV video was greatly appreciated these past few years.
Regardless, you did what was right for you, that is what matters in the end. I'll still be hanging around Gamenoob, best hopes for your next project, but frankly I already now that you have everything to keep making these great videos as always!
You will be missed.
good luck!
Dont forget TiMi Studios done this
This is a sad moment in AOE history and for the community
Thank you
Where is the fundraiser link?
no man, i just subscribed you like a week ago
You a G brother
it's a shame what you've been through with your channel these past months, i agree AOE mobile is just a generic cash grab nothing to do with the franchise, we saw it coming
please come back and give us your take on AOM Retold graphics!
We need more people like you in this declining western society. People with Integrity. It's unfortunate to lose your contents. Good luck mate
Im doing my part
Would love to see you cover some Bannerlord content!!!
Sorry to see you go but I understand you are in a tricky situation. Your AOE vids were my favorite to watch, even above spirit of the law. I could tell you put a vast amount of time and effort into your vids and it showed.
We need to normalize honesty and integrity. This should not have happened to you
Have a good one mate
i never cared about AoE4 and i dont think i ever will... but i do care about people and as someone who understands what is like to go through mental health issues i wish you nothing but well being and may you find happiness in your path... remember that you are loved and that you are not alone
Hey mate, really sorry for how you were treated. Just as an FYI I can't find any donation link. It doesn't look like it's available, maybe it's an EU thing.
If you could put a link in the description that would be great.
I understand you bro, BUT you shouldnt say bye to this channel :3 maybe you can comeback for AGE OF MYTHOLOGY, it really promise to be a good game, yes its just a posibility but why not? IVE WATCHED ALL YOUR VIDEOS HERE and let me tell you IT WAS EVEN BETTER THAN PLAYING THE ACTUAL GAME XD (no joking) thanks fort all your efforts bro, wish you the best :3
Do you have any videos on age of mythology?
Welcome to aoe3's treatment ;P
😢😢😢
For those that are wondering, Game Noob channel is here - www.youtube.com/@GamenoobYT/
so sad to see you leave :(
It was clear from the beginning that it will be predatory. That there was already a post on reddit that I saw which looked like bland advertising made my feelings for it only worse. We can only hope that the game will be under perform I guess. Good luck with your future endeavours.
I can't believe they actually got away with this. We should be louder about this in the community, condemn and complain, get the big creators involved to show them we won't stand this. I'm disgusted that it's come this far. I really hope you can come back some time.
May the channel rest in Kyne's Peace.
appreciate your contributions. You were done with AoE for a long while now, you've done like 3 videos in the past 6 months, so to say the mobile game ended it, is fallacy.
Viper did the exact same thing even showcase the game playing it live! He mentions the same things that you do and so far Developers has not treat him the way they did with you
Goodness gracious, mate this is just sad. The writing on the wall was pretty obvious when the mobile game was announced. It's nothing but a predatory monetization scheme. Your integrity is something to be highly respected. Therefore, it has been a good run and wishing you nothing but the best in your future prospects!
I have always enjoyed your channel and your output. Your honesty costing you standing with others is disappointing. But you standing up against predatory monetization is a sign that integrity isn't totally dead out there.
Hope we see you one last time man. And best of luck with all your future projects.
You have a small but loyal community, hope some who have more money to spare than me can help you out. You deserve the money - not predatory mobile games.
The fact you are being quite blatantly intimidated into standing down at what I at least hope are not direct legal threats is disgusting. Hoping this backfires on them.
The best outcome for everyone would be if AOE Mobile lost all rights to the AOE franchise rights. I hope some larger content creators are as brave as you were and speak up about this - ones who hold enough sway they can't be brushed under the carpet.
But on a positive parting note: We as your viewers can see the work you put into your videos from the quality of them - and it has been appreicated!
Wishing you the best
You have that êre
Your videos were the beating heart for AOE for me at least... what a disgrace on the part of those that did you dirty. Hope you're ok man, see you on GameNoob
Thanks alot for being honest amd critical. There has been content creators going all out support for KSP 2 and Cities SKylines 2. Even tho both games are total Garbage. Stop the Greed!!
this product will launch, fade into obscurity as it milks the small amount of whales it managed to hook, until it dies out completely, as the past 2 age mobile games have. all just flashes in the pan that nobody cares to remember. ill miss age of noob more than i miss age of empires castle siege.
Age of Empires community has always been one that has been so supportive and amazing. This is a dark chapter a very dark chapter indeed. Shame on everyone involved in these decisions. Shame on everyone who decided using the brand Age of Empires for evil. Those who don't support Age of Noob have never been and will never be Age of Empires fans. As someone who has grown up and born with Age of Empires for my entire life and whose favourite game is Age of Empires. Shame on Microsoft shame on the community who supports this. I've been distancing myself for a time because I can tell the dark and toxic community Age of Empires is falling into but Age of Empires has always been for the last 25 years a beautiful community and it's a shame to see the new people coming into it who are toxic and destroyers of such a peaceful and loving community. This is a dark chapter indeed.
Ok, if i had money, i would donate. but i have problems to sustain myself.
You can be proud of yourself! Talking against dirty business practices is not a bad thing! Showing integrity and responsibility for your viewers is not a bad thing! Shutting someone down that did a lot for your community and game, because you want that stinky pile of mobile money is disgusting. I'm raging right now. I'm literally fuming. this really has to stop. We are living in orwells "brave new world". Companies should not have the power to destroy someones career because they are talking bad about a bad product. i wish you all the best, keep looking forward, kepp making content. i always enjoyed your calm demeanor. if i get back on track myself i will find a way to support you!
Hang in there buddy. Microsoft: you should be ashamed of yourself!
farewell dostum 🫡
mate first of all ihope yr ok. thannks for the channel. but get it what will happen to age of noob? youwill shut down all videos?
Is this... an AI avatar? Or just the soft lighting? If it is an avatar... SHARE HOW?!
brave
