Did the article ever actually say why they removed this character?

He's been doing charity streams for years, listing beneficiaries, and his non-profit has been sitting on the money. They did disburse it after being called out, but it wasn't handled well.

Yeah and there's a bit of drama around that as Jirard claimed that expenses would be handled by his parent company but seems to have expensed it to the charity, also they claim the total amount donated is still less than what they've taken in even after expenses.

Whatever the truth may be ...

I completely understand why a gaming company just wants to not be associated with any of this.

I kinda figure the rest is for accountants and lawyers to sort out. The golf thing might be a huge deal at the end of the day.

Ah, thank you.
