Jagex paid for his playtest trip seemingly with the understanding that he’d make a video about the new skill like the other RS content creators, but he hasn’t uploaded to YouTube in over a month. Kinda rude of him.

External link →Of course he doesn’t owe me anything, and I’m really not upset at all. Just was curious and giving my impression that it does in fact seem rude. I don’t know any details about Omid’s life, and maybe he had something more pressing pop up.
But I will defend my remarks by pointing out that Jagex specifically hyped the fact that the chosen content creators would be uploading their playtest videos within minutes of the big reveal, and Omid was one of the people they listed in the news post. Because of this, I went out of my way to find him on YouTube and give him a subscription.
So again, I’m really not upset or anything, but I know if I were given such an opportunity, I’d surely uphold my end of the agreement. Otherwise you come off as disinterested at best, or worse, disrespectful to the money Jagex spent and the time and attention the Jmods gave you.
That’s all. No hate. I likely won’t watch Omid’s video now because the hype has dissipated and we’ve since had a lengthy livestream revealing a lot more info about Necromancy.
Heyo!
So to give some clarity on the situation, we did not require a video from the creators as the intent was to get folks onsite and to get feedback, we obviously hoped that they would all create content on the topic and that was the plan for everyone going in, unfortunately, I believe Omid had run into some time restraints with his personal life and was not able to get the video out when he had hoped.
That's completely okay and we are sure his video will be a fantastic insight into his opinions and feedback on necromancy and I would still highly recommend giving it a watch when it does come out.
Hey! Thanks for the reply. (Recently listened to you on the 'LetsDiscussRS' podcast btw and enjoyed it.)
I didn't mean to imply the existence of a legal contract or requirement for a video from the creators, but as I figured and as you confirmed, it's what was expected. No biggie that he didn't deliver. I hope all is well in his personal life!
As I've said in other comments, I'm really not upset or anything, and I don't feel "entitled" as someone suggested. I suppose I just felt the slightest bit of indignation on behalf of the amazing jmods who extended such an awesome opportunity to a select few content creators. Glad to see at least that 7 out of the 8 followed through with awesome and on-time videos thoroughly documenting their playtest experience and thoughts on Necromancy!
Good PR btw. I wouldn't expect anything other than a magnanimous reply about this situation. ;) Although I don't follow Omid's content, I did waste a bit of time searching for his nonexistent video, hence my (slight) frustration. And I genuinely was looking forward to his take as the rank #3 overall. Oh well. Guess he earned himself an uninvitation for any future opportunities of this sort.

Not remotely the case tbh, Omid was a fantastic person to have along on the trip as their insights and feedback were massively helpful and their unique point of view was wonderful when it comes to how gameplay mechanics function at the higher levels (honestly listening to Omid and Maikeru playing around with combos was great), it's a shame the video is delayed but delays happen.
