Quin69βs height gets trolled by Path of Exile developers
(Clip begins at 7:43:38)
Upon reading the viewer's message, the confused New Zealand native initially stated:
βWait, where did I get roasted?β
A few viewers pointed out to Quin69 that Grinding Gear Games, creators of Path of Exile, subtly trolled the action RPG streamer in a rather comical fashion. One user said that it was visible on a background monitor, as another asked the streamer to look at the screen in the background.
βReally bro?! Okay dude, really.β
Quin69 then took a screenshot of the background image and opened it in Microsoft Paint for a closer look. Although quite blurry, it appeared to be a photo of the Twitch streamer standing between two of the game's developers, who towered over him. Initially surprised, the distraught streamer exclaimed:
βReally! Wow, dude, what the f**k is this?β
The streamer has been trolled for his height before, with several users in his chat immediately calling him short as he pulled up the image. However, Quin did laugh at the developers' sneaky troll while continuing to talk about the image.
βDude, I tried to zoom in on the screen! Iβm like, βWhatβs happening on that screen, looks like I can see gameplay there, what the f**kβs this?β
Unfortunately for Quin69, it was not leaked gameplay of the upcoming update for Path of Exile, but an image where he appears significantly shorter than the developers. Though likely all in good fun, the developers made sure they took a playful shot at the streamer in their latest video.
βB**tch motherf**ker! This is the guy who, whoever did this is the same guy who gave Cleave +2 radius! Letβs be real!β
Fortunately, the content creator took the situation in stride, but his loyal viewers absolutely loved the fact that the Grinding Gear Games developers trolled Quin in such a subtle manner.
Reddit offers comical context for the trolling by Path of Exile developers
The original poster of the clip also offered context, for those that werenβt present during the livestream. During a new Path of Exile League reveal, one of the company's employees kept an image of Quin69, Octavian, and RaizQT open on a monitor in the background.
The image in the stream comes across as very blurry, and when asked if the image was edited, one Redditor stated that it had not been modified. Furthermore, the response also linked the tweet with the image exactly as it appeared on social media.
Another viewer pointed out that the developers were standing on their toes, while Quin bent his knees to further lean into the joke.
Quin69βs height is always a hilarious topic during his livestreams, where many spam the entertaining β5β6ββ emote, despite the streamer's constant exclamations that he's 5β9β. This particular moment was certainly hilarious for his chat, where he was indirectly trolled in front of the entire Path of Exile fanbase.
