A Question for Xyxen
If on that day, ten years ago, you knew uploading this would one day make Late Zoomers and Gen Alphaers spawn one hundred thousand regurgitations of creepypasta and mascot horror characters to plague YouTube, Roblox, anywhere you can think of, all of them appropriating the term "Nextbot" from proper uses of the technology such as Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, et cetera...

...would you still do it?

Xyxen has actually signed multiple NDAs with some content conglomerates, so he's not at liberty to respond to this question honestly. Sanic NPC has been life changing for everyone involved in the project, and has changed the way in how we view gaming content in day to day life.

What I can tell you is that since his release of Sanic, he has signed multiple high-dollar contracts with Valve Software and Facepunch Studios, as well as Roblox Corp, ByteDance (owners of TikTok), and Alphabet in helping the creation of young adult gaming content for platforms. Since 2017, Sanic has pulled in revenue of approximately $34 million USD to our team, and that's after the cut given from those content corporations listed. Xyxen is currently retired, and living off the royalty funds in Ibiza. He drives a Maybach SUV, a Porsche Taycan, and has two houses on a large property in Alicante.

I didn't actually develop any code for Sanic, I'm just listed as co-developer because I made the trailer. But since the trailers conception, I've received numerous contracts by Epic Games, Ubisoft, and Electronic Arts to help content promotion for young audiences worldwide. I'm currently typing this out from my Apple Vision Pro, in my multi-million dollar mansion in LA, in The Groves on Mulholland Drive. I drive a vintage Ferrari Testarossa and a Toyota Supra. I'm also incredibly gay.

So yeah, it's been whirlwind the past decade or so. I don't know how Xyxen would answer your question. He's a very down-to-earth guy and a bit embarrassed by his success. I think he deserves all the credit in the world for his substantial change in zoomer/alpha gaming and Internet culture. And without him, who knows what games zoomers and alpha-ers would be playing right now.

And not that you asked, but as for me? I just want another paycheck. So yeah, I wouldn't change a thing.
