Colburn has been covered by various publications, including VG247 (when video game publisher Ubisoft sent him merchandise ahead of the launch of Watch Dogs 2),[15]VentureBeat,[4] and Rolling Stone.[16] FMV Magazine has referred to Colburn as "king of the YouTube walkthrough."[17]
During a wave of copyright issues that were affecting creators, some of Colburn's videos were falsely claimed by an automated system owned by the multi-channel network Scale Lab. He was directly apologized to by Scale Lab's CEO, David Brenner, in a Kotaku interview once the problem was discovered.[18] During a 2018 interview with Rolling Stone, Colburn's YouTube channel was identified by Susan Wojcicki, the former CEO of YouTube, as one of the "top gaming creators" on the platform.[16]
