Today I am removing any association I have with
@Luminosity.
I've been signed to the organization since August 1st and in my time over the last 3 months I have not been paid a dollar of the $3,000 I am owed.
But the money is the least important thing to me. I joined Luminosity originally because of promises made to help fund events in the Minecraft content space. At the time of this tweet there has only been only radio silence. Radio silence not just to me, but to the roughly 30 other content creators that
@Jon_Dwyer and his company operates.
This is because Luminosity went under an ownership change in early September when Jon bought the org. Many of the creators, myself included, held out hope that eventually, surely, Jon would extend an olive branch to us given how patient, respectful, and understanding we have been during the entire process, and none of that was ever reciprocated.
I'm posting this publicly not just for myself (although I am quite upset) But to also help give a voice to the other content creators who are still holding out hope with Luminosity. These are fantastic, incredible people who work hard and don't deserve the treatment they are getting. I'm incredibly lucky to be in a position where even though my girlfriend is going through expensive cancer treatment, the money is not something that makes or breaks my financial stability at the moment, but not everyone is fortunate enough to say that.
There's so much more that I could mention, but this tweet is long enough. I'm incredibly sorry to my supporters who were looking forward to what this could look like for the future of Minecraft events and esports and I truly would not have signed and given hope in the first place publicly if it were not for the months before signing where there were meaningful conversations with the previous ownership group. I look forward to taking my ideas that I presented and working with other companies/organizations to make them a reality one day.
Lastly I'd like to apologize if there are any typos as I'm writing this pretty frantically this morning, as I didn't want this to feel like a schedule or "corporate" type of tweet. And a huge thank you to
@tylernormington as he's been the only bright spot in this entire ordeal trying to keep the creators updated as best as he could.
I'd like the focus of this tweet to not be on myself, but again to the incredibly other Luminosity creators dealing with this behind the scenes and have been for up to 3 months. Thank you for your time.
