 Welcome back agent nation. My name of course y'all know me you subscribe to the channel and you leave likes on every video, right? I'm agent beam star. Let's get Into the news Yo, there's a lot of bad news again So like there's a lot of news but like most of it is bad news to just keep up for our first story of the day NBA 2k stock is plummeting I'd be wondering how was that possible isn't the game doing fantastic? Isn't it selling well all the micro transactions? Well, let's get some background knowledge real quick The guys that actually developed a game are called visual concepts The publisher of visual concepts is called NBA 2k and NBA 2k is owned by a company You might have heard of called take two take two is gonna be a familiar name because they also own publishers like rock star games Which gave us fantastic titles like GTA 5 and you might have heard of red dead redemption too So how is the company that owns all of these games struggling? Well, they're not they're actually doing fantastic in terms of making money Red Dead sold 18 million copies in seven days. That is that since that's just crazy right there That is insane. I mean NBA 2k year after year does better than ever So agent why is the stock dropping well the most reputable source in all of gaming and really journalism in general IGN dropped this article talking about how the FTC is gonna begin an investigation in loot box So a few months ago, you remember I covered a story about how in Germany They banned companies from being being able to use loot boxes or my team packs in their titles So to the investors or the people thinking about investing into publicly traded companies like EA or take two It really doesn't matter how much money you're making now It really just matters how confident the market is that you're gonna continue making that and some in the future And so a potential ban depending on of course the conclusion of whatever the FTC's Investigation is gonna include now that would be catastrophic to the bottom line of take two of EA and to a lot of big Publishers and so for that reason they're leaving in droves the situation begins to escalate because it was an article that dropped that detailed the VP of take two Daniel P. Emerson sold 13,000 shares that amounted to $1.6 million if the founder at litecoin taught me anything it's that anytime the founders or the guys at the top are doing something I'm not saying insider trading not even remotely. I'm just saying I would trust what they're doing and do the same thing Now keep in mind this agent beam started talking right I went to Yale Harvard Princeton and DeVry University my guys So pay attention now. This is me looking at some numbers here Okay, I had a lot of finance classes, so I definitely know what I'm looking at This is the last five years to take two stock. This is 2014 at the very beginning and all the way to the right is of course now 2014 was around the time where 2k 13 my team was introduced starting to pick up some steam Of course GTA 5 is a micro transactions The new content was turning to swerve in and so a lot of people were getting in it's very very excited about the Prospect of making a lot a lot of money this goes for both EA and take two so 2015 goes by 2016 goes by the number Start to just exponentially go up just faster and faster 2017 until you reach 2018. There's a small little dip now agent. Why is there a small little dip? Hmm? Anytime a publicly traded company needs to inspire some sort of confidence in the market They usually put out some stats a tweet maybe like a press conference a statement of some kind in this instance NBA 2k is trying to do their part in helping take to they put out this tweet saying a lot has happened in NBA 2k 19 this Year so we're dropping our favorite stats so far when have you ever done that 2k you don't drop stats You keep that a secret my guys for starters over one million games are played daily who you balling with the most Everyone's on guys everybody's on It didn't stop there They literally have a string of tweets that begin to get more and more pointless the further you go down brought an MJ go at it 234 times per day on 2k 19 number 23 still suits up 10,792 times a day Everyone's on mood when your fans help you get nominated for best sports game of the year and be a 2k 19 Thank you for all your support help us take home the award by voting and of course if you can even guess what the replies You're talking about what are these fans you speak of asap tk says Kowalski analysis, this is some bulls**t skipper. I don't know what they expected man Sometimes this comes in the form of sales that dip you saw between like February and April They dropped a lot of sales in between that time to their mobile game They announced the NBA 2k league draft around that time cuts to VC cuts to the game in general by 50% That's unheard of and so it makes sense, right? People are just beginning to lose confidence and 2k tries to do what they can to get people to be confident about the game And of course the other titles that take to owns like red dead redemption GTA 5 are gonna be doing the same But the reality is until that FTC investigation is concluded There's no way I see NBA 2k or more specifically take to stock bouncing back anytime soon I could be wrong though. I mean keep mine. It's just agent beam star Yale Harvard Princeton and DeVry I know what I'm talking about, you know In my second year university, I had a finance class and I was leading the stock assignment We were doing the entire time I found that a very fascinating story for our next story of the day late last night There was a streamer that goes by the name jaw on twidge And he had an altercation with a family member and for whatever reason decided not to mute the mic and the Conversations spilled over into Twitter some youtubers were taking shots at him calling him the reason the NBA 2k community So toxic, I'm gonna just let you guys hear the clip and then we'll go from there From what I understand about the situation he's living with a sister his sister saying quiet down It's late in the night You're you're yelling and I'm trying to sleep and he was like I'm not with it So they kind of went in the back and forth that began with I gave you a thousand dollars And he was flexing that he was helping her out and then it escalated to that's why your kids was taken away from you And then it went as far as to like he was just saying he's gonna move out He doesn't want to deal with it anymore the whole 2k community was angry at this guy talking about how how could you talk to your Sister like that. Why didn't she just mute the mic stop being so toxic if I said this to my brother He would have beat the living soul out of me if I said it to my parents. I would not be alive right now So this is out of the question for me Ja, I'll say this much my guy because I had to live with my brother for a couple months before I found my own spot After I left university and that was torture I'll be getting excited in a video and my brother would come out and say shut the hell up And I'll be like, man How do I record if I can't record late at night early in the morning anytime he's sleeping and he'll be sleeping in the middle Of the damn day so I was like out of options as a content creator It sucks back when I was in university the amount of noise complaints I got for just talking at the same exact volume from the people above me and below me was insane Which is why now I have my own house. So I do sympathize with you job It's a very horrible situation because he does want to stream he wants to put out content But at the same time he has people yelling at him to cut that out, but at the same time Bro, come on man at least mute your mic like that's the least you can do if you're having that conversation There's so much personal stuff you just put out in the public There is no reason all that had to be public except the fact that you made it public come on man So yeah, I get it. He's being super toxic horrible situation But I do sympathize because I was in a similar situation and when I got out man, and I'm my own spot I was so happy. I was just a really happy guy by far the funniest reply on Twitter was from Cole who decided to do this Story of the day the drama continued on Twitter Duke put out a tweet saying it's official I'm moving to Xbox next week Nate X replied saying please come so I can drop your ass off Duke of course had to respond to that tweet said let's link so I can smack this shit out of you in real life And if you guys ever seen Nate play ball in real life You'd know why that's funny and probably the funniest bit of drama that happened in the last week was Majestic put out this tweet and it was a photo of him getting 11th place on ruffles now If you don't know who majestic is he's a point and guard for he check gaming in the NBA 2k league Kobe Yusuf a player for the Raptors uprising You might have seen him in a couple vlogs reply to that tweet majestic put out saying you almost win in everything Tough unlucky, and he's actually referencing the NBA 2k league finals the heat check gaming made it all the way to the finals And they ended up losing to the New York Knicks gaming So first famous who's a manager for the heat check gaming responded saying Amazing coming from you Yusuf responded to that saying what did I almost went in and famous Notoriously responded a spot in season 2 Yusuf savages, man. At first it just sounded like a friendly battle, right? You know talking smack with your guys and then it escalated For our next story of the day on a more serious note Orlando in Chicago put out this tweet saying no one cares about me in this community I have no cloud anymore and work so hard to get to 99 just so someone else would hit it I'm depressed and was already taking meds. I really do feel like my career is over right now He later deleted the tweet and I don't really know if it's my position to come around here Broadcasting it to everybody else But I feel like it hits on a really important note that not many youtubers talk about and I feel like this is a fantastic Opportunity to do so now I'm not talking about the depression or anything like that in this specific circumstance Orlando was about to hit 99 overall and then someone took his account and so for a few days He couldn't get access to it So in his mind just imagine grinding like eight nine hours a day every single day for months Only to find out all that hard work is taken away from you you'd feel defeated and the reality is is he was he was trying To hit 99 so he can grind on YouTube and YouTube is a complicated place like it looks all glorious from the outside Right. It's like you're just uploading gaming content to thousands of people What could be so bad about that? But it's like you have to grind so hard just to blow up and then if you're the few percent of people that blow up You have to keep working and there's no real breaks. You don't take weekends off you every day is a day Where you're just working on something even when you're not uploading and of course the YouTube algorithm punishes you when you don't upload And so it's just the 24-7 grind all the time It's all you ever think about and for a lot of people it means that they end up getting burnt out on YouTube that on Top of all the toxicity people have to deal with you remember Orlando all the stuff He had to go through that whole bat beef He had with Nate X over the course of 2k 17 He didn't ask for none of it Nate X got banned and his fans were mad and they were just directing all the hate to this guy and I felt bad for him And to be honest no youtuber wanted to step in the way of that toxicity and so nobody bothered to help him out He just kind of had to take the hit for all the toxic things that was going on in his chat every time he tried to stream or his Comment section every time he tried to upload grinding put out a tweet just a few days later saying something to the similar degree What if one day I fall off and all of you forget about me, right? It's a reality that every youtuber kind of has to deal with it's like you might be on now But next year maybe not and sometimes it's not even controlled by the people watching is really just an algorithm that decides That's not it anymore. Well, I haven't really dealt with any of those consequences yet And I'm still kind of in grind mode I really feel for the people that do so just today at this date You only have to do it one time because it makes a huge difference. You wouldn't believe it. Just say something Random super duper positive to a content creator You enjoy watching because sometimes I'll get a comment on Twitter or on the YouTube or on Instagram And I'll just be like yo that really means a lot to me They'll tell me like what impact I had on their life or how much they enjoy watching the videos or how much they Want me to succeed and it means so much it literally makes my day And so you have no idea how much you can help someone out with a comment to a certain extent You're kind of immune to the toxicity because you get it so much, right? How many times people can call me a fridge protector before I get over the fact that I'm fat and I'm gonna have to deal with it But every once in a while it gets to you and you have your down days and you don't really know how to deal with it Just say something positive to somebody today, man Make a difference for our next story of the day Ladies and gentlemen more drama in the Twitter verse poor boys sin and swante we're going at it And I really don't know what the point of the argument was sin put out a tweet saying love How you can be a super tryhard in the fortnight community and not get called to no life once no matter if you known or not They actually show love and respect you for your skill swante responded saying 100% isn't true It's the same with all gaming look closer the situation kind of escalated since that you trolling or you stupid read my text I said fortnight community not all communities. Are you bored? So I mean this kind of went back and forth for a very long time until it started taking shots at each other's YouTube channels Sin said bro you pull views from crying. Just stop bruh for real for real every video you make is crying LMAO stop talking bruh swante said anytime I see you streaming non-stop crying and complaining same with half your vids Always crying about people calling you a no life.
