The veteran streamer is tired of the comments and believes that its content does not interest a part of her community.
Shirley Curry, better known as Skyrim's grandmother, rose to fame for playing the Bethesda video game on YouTube. This 84-year-old woman had long shared this hobby with viewers, but the woman has decided to take a break. And she has not done it because she was tired of her sessions in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but because of the toxic comments of some people on the Internet. This has been announced by Curry in a recent video, where he has pointed to the angry and irritating messages that he has to read daily.
"I know I shouldn't let these things stress me out, but they do," says the streamer. “From now on, I will reply to very few messages. I will also erase many of them. " According to him, he is particularly bothered by messages in which members of the community try to modify the way they play. "They don't have to remind me all the time" [what games to play]. And he adds: “I look at all the games. I'm a gamer, if I wanted to play them I would. ” According to her words, it feels like she's being watched with a microscope. "I have a better time playing alone."
More problems
Beyond comments, another problem he faces is that the type of videos he makes causes stress. Although he has more than 800,000 subscribers on his channel, much of his material does not get more than 8,000 views. On the other hand, the retention time is usually only a few minutes, when the videos usually last between 30 and 50 minutes. "I am wasting time and it is stressing me out." As a consequence, after the two-week break, you will stop uploading a daily clip and record "far fewer videos." According to Curry, the decision has been made to protect his health. "I am not trying to show anger."
Shirley Curry has not only traveled to Bethesda offices to meet Todd Howard, but will also become one of the characters in The Elder Scrolls VI, a title that is still macerating and we will not know anything about it for years to come. , as confirmed by the company itself.
