    Lol Rudy was shilling Metazoo so hard even to the point it became a meme on his channel. This was a scam. Mike and Rudy made their millions and the supporters are boned.
  • @treasurehunt7812
    Not to mention that his channel is almost entirely focused on investing. He doesn't talk about gameplay, he talks about markets and price movements. He literally was telling people to invest in Metazoo. Hence, why people were calling it a 'pump and dump'... Rudy was the ONE pumping it.

    I've been one of his Patrons since the beginning. I enjoyed the cheap Magic and then FaB boxes to crack. I feel like he has shown his true self this year and many of us don't like it. With that being said, I've already canceled my patreon account and haven't purchased anything from him for the last 6-8 months. He won't take responsibility. He's just another rich guy who's never wrong.
  • @audrisampson
    I couldn't believe how easy that lie came off his lips last night. Those Nightfall 1st ed kits weren't sold for so much just for people to crack the boxes. I really appreciate your based takes on Zoo and the situations around it. TBH the date yourself concept sounds like a great idea for mental health if you can afford it.

    What about the fact he said he would never sell anymore crayon promos after the initial sale to reward the people who supported. But once he saw the secondary market he's back to selling the crayon promos. Completely lied to his patrons and took advantage of them.

    I enjoy the guy's content overall but that Metazoo vid was brutal to listen to. I get that he's in it for the money. The dude is trying to build a legacy for his kid and family. When he said what he did with that clip you featured, that was some of the most egregious bullshit I ever heard him say. He said it so nonchalantly, it was like he never touched or talked about the stuff ever. That was borderline evil, man.

    my bro and I have been watching your channel since before you started strength and pokemon. you always keep it real and we always appreciate it. thanks for being so concise and respectful with your opinions. It's always refreshing to see you cut through the shilling, call yourself an idiot with money, admit to the same habits we all have -- and then give critiques and ideas that I can actually agree with. regardless of what happens with the zoo, i'll be hanging with ya bro <3
  • Never liked that guy, even before MetaZoo, the fact MetaZoo made promos of him was a big turn off for me early on. Won’t say anything about him in the comments, but I have my opinions that continue to be reinforced.
  • Him saying he never told people to invest in Metazoo is wild his name is even alpha investments

    Not a big card game fan but came here from your bodybuilding channel. But you are right, the amount of youtubers or anybody overall to take accountability for what they say is extremely slim. It happens in Crypto land as well, FTX, LUNA ect. Anyways, as a former huge yugioh player, the metazoo cards look pretty cool.
  • Yes they haven’t paid us. I have the original email sent back in October asking for our info. No new email yet sent to us like stated. I think they don’t have the money anymore. I believe they’ve been using pump and dumps for a while and got so used to recycling the money now that we aren’t ordering like crazy anymore they don’t know what to do. I believe it’s been severely mismanaged. Love the game still, but man. Gameplay is fun, theme is fun, idea is great, but I think they were so hellbent on partnerships they really fudged up. Should have kept listening to what the fans want.

    Nick, you're misinterpreting what I said in the comments of your other video. My comment on your other video was not to excuse the unethical behavior of Mike and MZ. Mike made millions working on Wall St. Mike also made millions off of Metazoo, I believe. If I were Mike, I pay the dozens of players the small amount of money he owes, which may not be a huge sum to him, but it is massive to the loyal players who supported the company, learned the game, and were promised rewards for doing so. It's totally unethical and there is no excuse for them not to be paid. If MZ doesn't have the money, then Mike should inject it. What I actually was implying is while MZ may have made a lot of money early on, and subsequently built a business and infrastructure to match, their revenue dramatically decreased in 2022 and plummeted to a small fraction of what it was early on, in 2023, while operating costs remained the same. MZ is only selling a small fraction of what it did in that first year and margins, which were probably not huge to begin with, became even smaller with the declining volume. I believe they have been in the red for all of 2023; losing money. 2023 was a dud for Metazoo. Gala boxes, Native... none of their big releases had anywhere near the kind of volume that the first 4 core releases and peripheral products had during that period. All I was trying to say to you is that Metazoo is probably not as wealthy as people believe. I believe they're insolvent, hence why backlogged products haven't been shipped and players haven't been paid. Not giving excuses for the unethical behavior, just stating what I believe to be the situation.

    I don't play metazoo. I play flesh and blood and I was probably led to your channel by Rudys recent video. I think, since his depressing video, the aura of power that Rudy has has broken. Even if he was right about everything he said, it's how he said it and it has cost him personally. I like the guy, but I really feel that it is more than business. There is a personal aspect and he is beginning to flail like a drowning man.
  • @asaffin1
    So, I've been watching Rudy for years, long before Metazoo came to market. I watch his videos about all topics, including games/products I have no interest in. He definitely is capable of admitting when he is wrong and apologizing to viewers. But I agree that the way he phrased that about his relationship with MetaZoo was highly problematic. I'd like to hope that he did not mean to imply what he did imply, and maybe in the next few days he'll release a clarification (he's also been incredibly sick with the flu for a couple of weeks, and that definitely messes with your cognition). But if not, then it's a big red flag.
  • @SquidersGaming
    yeah that really pissed me off when Rudy said that like mate what? gonna be like a Joe Rogan podcast ayo Jamie pull up the clips lol. I really do hope metazoo does jump back up for the artists and workers sake
  • @LordyHotdog
    I still have all the original patreon metazoo pumps. Dude was selling 5 Nightfall kits for $8200 😂
