Twitch streamer knows what's going wrong in PC gaming: industry sabotages PCs with driver updates so that you buy new ones

The streamer Hans “Forsen” Fors (31) is his own brand on Twitch. The Swede is known for his sometimes outlandish views. But a rant about Call of Duty: Warzone 2, driver updates, and iPhones is now going viral on Twitch.

What is Forsen going viral with now? Twitch streamer Forsen offered some twisted thoughts in a stream last week. He says:

  • Nobody needs driver updates or windows updates
  • These updates would only lead to the PC breaking and you having to buy a new one
  • It’s like the “damn smartphone companies”

A clip with the explanations now has 130,000 views on Twitch alone:

It boils down to the sentence laden with swear words:

Don’t fix it, you stupid cunts. Every Friday you guys tell me to update my drivers while I sleep with your mom. It’s useless. It only makes things worse. Which the shit clearly proves yesterday with the shit blue screen. OK? Fuck you and fuck your shitty driver updates!

Forsen updates its drivers once and everything goes wrong

What happened there? When starting Call of Duty: Warzone 2, the shooter had some technical problems: there were glitches or crashes.

Forsen also had these problems and tried to start a match, but his computer crashed. NVIDIA released a driver update to fix the issues.

A user donated money to Forsen with the message: “You idiot uses 26-year-old drivers, so you can’t stream.”

But Forsen then said: Before starting CoD Warzone, he updated the drivers on his PC and also installed a Windows update before he started the stream to Warzone. So checkmate.

For him, this is obviously proof that updates don’t help, but only make everything much, much worse.

The 5 biggest Twitch bans that caused quite a stir

“Old Man Roars at Clouds”

How is this discussed? On reddit, the confused execution of Forsen is gleefully made fun of. The people say:

  • “He’s right about the smartphone companies, but yes, he’s already a turbo boomer at the moment.”
  • “Boomer buys new PC instead of reinstalling Windows”
  • “Hermit complains about technology”
  • “Old Man Roars at Clouds”

Forsen is among the people who made the list of legendary Twitch permanent bans:
