Data has revealed FPS king Shroud has played more Deadlock on-stream than Spectre Divide, a game he’s had a hand in making alongside Mountaintop Studios, despite the latter’s high-profile release earlier this month. According to Shroud himself, there’s a good reason why—Deadlock has “twisted” his brain, and there’s seemingly no end in sight.
After a six-hour session in Spectre Divide that ended with a “sour” loss during a Sept. 6 stream, a visibly frustrated Shroud switched over to Deadlock to decompress—but before jumping into the game he let loose about how Deadlock has taken over everything from his stream to his casual gaming sessions. “I feel like this game changed the way I perceive myself and my peers. Deadlock has twisted my brain,” the streamer said.
