Fifteen years of grinding, building, and creating content together. Gone in a single Christmas Day. Six major creators from FaZe Clan simultaneously walked away from what was once gaming's most iconic organisation, all posting the same two-word message: 'Left @FaZeClan'. Now, streamer Adin Ross claims he knows exactly why the empire crumbled, and it all comes down to money that owner GameSquare allegedly tried to grab after the talent had already made it big.
According to Ross, this wasn't a spontaneous decision. It was the inevitable result of what he's calling a corporate bait-and-switch that left creators feeling betrayed. He alleges GameSquare waited until the creators were 'big' and then demanded a 20% stake in their personal brands—a deal that was never on the table when they first joined.
