It's sad how many younger people fall for grifters on Twitch.
The reality is, almost nobody on Twitch like Pirate software is likely, to put it nicely, embellishing their career.
Someone as accomplished as he claims would not be streaming, because their work is typically rewarding both in terms of day to day challenges and pay.
To actually start a career streaming, you basically have to be "unemployed" for 1-5 years. For anyone making real money, the decision is easy, they simply won't stream.

There's lots of people who started while employed and migrated over time to full time streaming because they enjoy it more. Not everything is about pure monetary value. That skills vs streaming dichotomy is also reductive and harmful. Just like this whole current drama where people make wild assumptions based on tiny fragments of information blown out of proportion.
