LoL & SC2 can I not do both?

For the past year I have released many a SC2 song (About 20 I believe) and built a fairly nice fan base because of it. Well I have been playing League of Legends lately and have basically started making songs for that instead. Now my question being why is it a big deal to make songs for both? Is it really that upsetting to the majority or is it just the vocal minority that I tend to see?

For my example I'll link the LoL song I did recently:



Just a few comments on there and you can see how some people take this. There were two reasons for me switching games. One being that I felt sc2 was getting over saturated with parodies and original songs. Two was that I just couldn't think of anything I felt like doing a song about. So naturally I turned from a game I played for almost a year (And still watch major events) to making songs about a game I now play more often.

Making music is what I enjoy doing. And I don't personally feel like I am doing anything wrong but I just wanted to ask the community that has supported my parodies what they felt directly.

I do still have one last SC2 that has been done for almost 6 months almost ready for release but unfortunately everything has not fallen into place yet.

(I also understand that the LoL vs SC2 e-sport debate is fairly old to some people and this is not my intention with this blog post) simply I would like to know if switching my main focus as far as parody material is really that big of a deal to the people that followed my sc2 songs.

There is nothing wrong with doing what you want to do. However, don't expect fans (especially those who became fans b/c of your specific subject matter) to follow. This happens all the time in mainstream media when an artist chooses to change their style/genre/etc. Also, it could be a "sore spot" to some sc2 players (such as myself) who have lost sc2 buddies to LoL...
I do encourage you to continue doing what YOU want to do (IMO, if you do something only for the fans/glory/$ you're selling out). GLHF

I like both games and still listen to your songs regardless, so I guess thats one viewer less to worry about

I understand. And honestly I still watch SC2 so more songs could come out of it. But I just find it easier to do these things for the game I'm currently playing because I keep up on trends easier. And I'm sure I may lose some people but I wanted to thank the people that do leave before they did.

Keep in mind that the audience usually doesn't know what's good for it.

Hah, I've actually started watching and playing a ton more LoL lately. Thanks for the song, keep up the gaming song parodies no matter what game and you'll have fans out there.

Stop listening to haters.

I loved SCBW, didn't like SC2 that much, love LoL atm - and I'm a huge fan of your SC2 songs from the first minute on. =)


Keep 'em rolling!

Please stop making songs about video games at all. They're just dumb and awkward.

Do you want to please your fans or do you want to do what you enjoy?

Those two can sometimes be mutually exclusive, unfortunately. But hey, I like both games and I support you!

There's a difference between fans of your work and fans of SC2 related work. Just keep doing your thing man, love your work ^^
I think esports is pretty nice.

Uh, I think he's really good. Tho my favorite songs of his are the ones not about video games, the video game ones are awesome too.

nice song, rather do what you like instead of not enjoying it because other people might not like it properly.
