Agree in part heroguy, that's why I say he waits until the boxes are shipping to say anything. He spent 4 days, all day every day, engaging his fans at the booth with the 20 foot image of him in the first comic, which supports the comic as well as zwagbox. Then he mc'd the panel, which supports zwagbox again. The only reason I say he should is due to those days of promotion to those fans, and only once the boxes start shipping. I think that protects his end, while also helping ease the pain of the late boxes.
He is very smart and calculated and do agree has to be careful not to go too far with how he handles these delays.
One thing as a side, this stereotype that his just get's drunk and does videos is very far from reality. Not saying he hasn't done something like in the past. I never knew much about him, other than hearing students talk about him and one mentioned it before. But after checking out his videos, it is way off to say that is his thing. All you have to do is read how his fans respond to him and watch the interaction on the videos. He shows great care for his fans and they see him as one of the most sincere and genuine youtube stars out there who truly cares about people and doing good things for others - hence his charity support, which he will be doing something live this weekend from what a post mentioned.
How this unfolds next week is going to be very interesting. I plan on calling on Wed to check the status.
have a good weekend - docg
