Daniel Condren (born 13 April 1995), better known as RTGame (channel also known as RTGameCrowd), is an Irish-Canadian YouTuber and live streamer.[1] [2] [3] [4] He is known for his humorous commentary during gameplay,[5] and often plays games in unorthodox or mischievous ways.[6] He began making videos in 2011, began streaming in 2016, and experienced a surge in popularity in 2018., his YouTube channel has over 2.8 million subscribers,[7] while his Twitch channel has over 1.1 million followers.[8]
Early life
Condren was born in Ireland on 13 April 1995,[9] the son of an Irish father and Canadian mother. He holds dual Irish and Canadian citizenship.[10] He studied at Trinity College in Dublin, where he earned a bachelor's degree in English literature in November 2017.[11] [12]
Career
Condren created his YouTube channel on 13 August 2011 and uploaded his first video, a Terraria Let's Play, five days later. In December 2018, he joined Yogscast's annual charity event Jingle Jam, where he helped raise $3.3 million.[13] [14]
His videos have included organising Minecraft building sessions for his Twitch subscribers, spending 13 days (and an in-game time of 2 days) searching for a shiny Wooloo in Pokémon Sword and Shield,[15] and knocking out every NPC in the Hitman 3 level of Sapienza in order to stuff them all into a meat freezer and kill the entire population with a single shot into an explosive canister (which ultimately failed when the bodies formed a "meat shield").[16]
In December 2022, YouTube age-restricted some of his videos. Condren asserted that the platform was "retroactively restricting videos that violate recent policy changes."[17] The updated guidelines gained visibility when he made a video on the topic,[18] with YouTube set to revise the policy after being criticised for its poor communication regarding these changes.[19] [20]
