 agent nation my name of course is agent beamstar let's get right into the news and for our first story of the day Drake is in the news making waves because he said this on the record Drake wrote the lyrics to nice for what while playing NBA 2k he said he was inspired by the game now listen Drake we know if you watch this video up here I uploaded a few months ago that I was in the same park as Drake I was on the got next spot to play him five separate times and he quit all five separate times because he didn't want to play me alright so Drake you might catch some new inspiration from getting beat down by me who knows but all I know is I want to play you an NBA 2k nonetheless nice for what fantastic song it was one of those songs we like I don't really mess with the song and then you listen to it more and you're like yo this song is nice when you start to bump your it was one of those and for our second story of the day Hank the tank is back in the news ladies and gentlemen because he came back to YouTube he's uploading consistently now but instead of doing NBA 2k content he's doing fortnight content but he's expressed his sadness because his channel isn't performing as it used to now Hank I don't know what you expected when you took a line it felt like more than four months break from YouTube but that's usually what happens let's read his tweets my return video got 100k views and every video since then is decreased in views I don't know what to do anymore and I'm quite sad I let my channel die for four months he followed up by saying this I wish I had the following I used to or well the support I used to I forgot how hard it is to go from nothing to something indeed those are true facts Hank it's not that your fans don't mess with you no more it's that the YouTube algorithm doesn't mess with you no more because when it's used to you regularly uploading and then you take a massive break it's like yo you're abandoning us at the end of the day they're trying to get more people on their start more frequently so they're gonna want to promote people that more consistently help do that so sometimes it could just be notifications not going out maybe your subscribers are being notified sometimes it doesn't even show up in subscriptions we know all the problems YouTube has right there's no point in complaining about it but Hank that's what happens sometimes when you take a break I used to do this thing where I used to like tell people like no don't do that do this with your channel yo I this is and I was giving out gems right all the stuff I learned from just watching other people in my experience here's what I learned man not everybody has the same life goals as me right and I'm not gonna have the same life goals of the next person and so I stopped telling people what to do with their lives and their channel if someone wants to take a break for months because they're just sick of whatever and they can't handle it in whatever the case is I just like whatever is their life they're gonna do their thing move on Hank this is just like I guess is a lesson to everybody else if you have a channel is doing fantastic you really can't afford to take breaks which is part of the reason why young agent wants to go to Dubai I can't go to Dubai because I'm in Canada making videos so frequently but I love my job and I'm incredibly grateful so to buy I'd rather do this on our next story of the day this is actually really big news NBA playgrounds to was meant to launch what was the date I don't know I think it was yesterday or something and apparently not only did they delay the game which is normal some game get delayed when they're not ready and you know this is important because they actually refunded pre-orders which is ludicrous they lost out on potentially hundreds and thousands maybe even millions of dollars by refunding these pre-orders I don't know it was lower than they expected I don't know if there was a problem with the game they couldn't launch with and it was gonna take a very long time but they gave a refund to all the people who pre-order which is massive news which means that there's a there's a potential that the game is just straight up canceled for whatever reason and they look like they had some very promising features I don't know what the case is listen all right I'm just reporting to you what we know so far NBA playgrounds to has been canceled and I know some people hit me up on Twitter like your agent I've been really excited for that game I cannot believe it's been canceled all right on our next story of the day the NBA 2k league viewership has been declining now you guys know I made a video like a week or two ago when I said numbers were between 3000 to 8000 sometimes more than that sometimes less than that on average in the live stream now the numbers have been slowly twindling now you know it's sitting around 2k live viewers watching the league sometimes when like dimes is playing or something or there's an interesting matchup like it might jump to 5000 but it had some people asking questions criticizing the league for some of the decisions that they've made and it's been causing like quite an uproar like managers are saying this and then like people criticizing or saying that and people are going back and forth at each other Adam Rubin the manager for the Detroit Pistons said this on Twitter 3k viewers is still three times the average number of viewers NBA 2k got before the league started the audience right now is a 2k audience when the rest of basketball world tunes in you'll see the numbers rise which he said the 2k audience not three times I mean I don't think we should ever be comparing numbers to the abysmally low twitch numbers on NBA 2k this is a screenshot somebody sent to my group chat and then somebody somebody actually tweeted it out and I was like damn somebody tweeted that that's reckless and it was a picture of chess on twitch getting more views in NBA 2k on YouTube 2k is actually doing alright there's some craters is popping doing that thing right on twitch it's all dead everybody is dead dead out the water like it's a fish because it's dead that was the worst analogy I might have ever given out there were days where there was zero playoff basketball it was in prime time like 7 p.m. like and people still weren't tuning in so of course there's some adjustments that's gonna be made I've talked to some people and they've said that they've advised the league to do this and this and so I guess it's just on the league to make the right decisions from this point moving forward but one thing I did see was the FIFA they've been running a FIFA tournament like last month and it pulled like 88,000 viewers and I know they were giving out FIFA ultimate team cards and well I might not have been real viewership stop stop making excuses alright here's what I know even if 2k tried to give out my team cards they wouldn't even they wouldn't even come close to 88,000 so some questions to be answered there of course all of us are hopeful that the 2k league is gonna do this and this I hope it's which is the 2k cam I hope we can see the shop meters of the players I hope they let the players customize their animations I hope like they just let them use their builds man why are we always limiting these builds in the name of balance is making the game boring and slow I hope I hope we speed up the process like every five minutes we got to do like a five-minute break watching advertisements like but that's just the news alright it's what people are talking about and of course nobody is gonna have a definite answer on that note the only other bit of news is I have a new car hmm yeah alright and I have to add some mods to in car reveal coming soon I have to pick up my car in a couple days I am so incredibly excited you guys know I've almost died multiple times in my Honda I wish I was exaggerating but it threw me off the highway and into a ditch so I'm not exaggerating it's gonna feel great to have a car that won't kill me it's gonna be fantastic I'll catch you guys in the next video if you guys enjoyed drop a like subscribe put on the post notifications all of us be honest it probably won't work let's try it anyways alright I'll catch you guys later I'm out peace
