One of the most prominent and influential gamers on YouTube, Jacksepticeye, gives a tribute to the game that started it all. Jack is one of the veteran gamers on YouTube, including his colleagues and close friends Markiplier and PewDiePie. These three individuals had a huge contribution to shaping the modern gaming environment on YouTube.
In the earlier days of their career, the “Big Three” of YouTube gaming had a very basic formula for content. Start up a game, play it with exaggerated expressions (screams), and put in some funny edits. This formula was and still is very effective, and the game that suited it perfectly back in the day was Happy Wheels.
