I'm personally a fan of Let's Plays. That sucks that he's had to deal with bogus IP claims.
That said, this guy's problems are his own fault at this point. A car lease so expensive he couldn't afford the surrender charges? An investment condo he can't sell? He refuses to charge his parents rent? He can't get a job because it won't support his lifestyle? FFS.
If he took things slower and lived a true freelancer's lifestyle (healthy Efund, streamlined budget, etc.), he could take his time to adapt his model without feeling like he's drowning. I hope he's able to turn his situation around.
