Despite making a name for himself in Call of Duty and Fortnite, it\u2019s been a while since viewers of NICKMERCS have seen him playing either title. The FaZe Clan star has found himself playing Apex Legends almost exclusively, investing serious hours into Respawn\u2019s battle royale and even reaching the prestigious rank of Apex Predator. However, despite his obvious affection for the game, a number of his viewers still want to see him play Warzone, a point they made during a recent stream. In response, though, the 31-year-old explained why he\u2019ll be sticking with Apex Legends, even if is his average viewing figures are slightly down. \u201c[I\u2019ve] been streaming for 10 years man, I\u2019ve never ever streamed a game because a viewer in my chat said stream that game,\u201d he said. \u201cListen, understanding the view count ain\u2019t 40k or 50k, that\u2019s okay bro. I\u2019m fine, we\u2019re chilling. It\u2019s about me having fun. If that pushes people away that pushes people away. I\u2019m so okay with that.\u201d He went on to explain that change is a part of life and, despite his talents and love for Warzone and CoD, he \u201chit a wall\u201d with the game that pushed him towards Apex Legends. Timestamp \u2013 0:15 When a viewer also suggested he would be financially hurting himself by sticking with Apex, Nick responded passionately and highlighted that he\u2019s never played video games for money. \u201cWhen I started to game it wasn\u2019t about the money. Does the money help? Yeah for sure. But gaming for me is a passion, it\u2019s not about money, it never was,\u201d he said. \u201cAm I making a lot of money [playing] Apex or Warzone? Yes. I don\u2019t need no f**king Warzone to make money. With the community we have I\u2019m pretty confident I could stream f**king me going to bed every night and I think I\u2019d still make money\u2026 So whatever. It\u2019s not about money.\u201d The comments further cement NICKMERCS\u2019 humility and his standing as one of the nicest guys on Twitch. We can expect to see him sticking with Apex Legends for some time yet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NICKMERCS explains why he doesn\u2019t need to quit Apex Legends for Warzone YT: NICKMERCS \/ Respawn \/ ActivisionYouTube and Twitch star NICKMERCS has explained why he doesn\u2019t need to quit Apex Legends for Warzone on Twitch, despite some viewers growing tired of the Respawn battle royale.
