So the game doesn't just end when you ice Gannon? I guess you back out of the level before talking to Zelda or something? Interesting

No, he stole 300k from GDQ with the help of noted speedrun hater Toby Fox. Big Jon tried to stop him, but they shut him down. That's why he called the NAACP.

he might have been hospitalized and/or had effects from it that are still there. I dunno though he probably did just steal a bunch of money and is booking it.

I really hope so because I donated $135 to this AGDQ and I've donated close to $1000 over all the GDQs I've watched and I'm really bummed if some dude is just pocketing that money and not the charities unlike what I was under the impression of. Because I've been donating under the impression that 100% of my donation is going to the charities.

Basically since Mike Uyama is more or less the main decider for which games get into AGDQ a lot of people who's games get turned down say a lot of poo poo about him all over the internet, it's a pretty safe bet that it's all false.
