Online humiliation as entertainment? The death of a French content creator, explained
A French content creator known for extreme online stunts has died during a marathon live broadcast, raising questions about the responsibility of streaming platforms and the dangers of online humiliation as entertainment. Raphaël Graven, 46, better known to his followers as Jean Pormanove (JP), collapsed and died while taking part in a nearly 12-day live stream. The former military veteran had built a following of more than a million across platforms by performing high-risk challenges and often enduring physical abuse on camera. Reports revealed that Graven's streams were notorious for pushing boundaries. While he sometimes showcased stunts such as taking on attack dogs, other clips showed him being doused with water, shot with paintballs, throttled and even strangled by fellow streamers. "He had been humiliated and abused for months live on the Kick platform," said Clara Chappaz, France's junior minister for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and digital technology. Calling the violence "absolutely horrific," she confirmed a judicial investigation has been opened and that the matter has been referred to France's media regulator. During his final broadcast, viewers watched as Graven lay motionless on camera. According to his friend Gwen, who was present, no one realised something was wrong at first. "In the middle of the night, he started breathing heavily. We thought he had just changed position and was snoring. "Then it lasted a few minutes and he stopped completely and didn't move anymore. Everyone was asleep, but there were still 4,000 people watching the live stream at that moment," Gwen recounted. Kick, the streaming platform where Graven hosted most of his content, has faced mounting criticism. Known as a less restrictive rival to Amazon's Twitch, it has allowed creators to broadcast more controversial material. Kick has since removed all of Graven's videos and banned co-streamers involved in his final broadcast. In a statement, the company said its focus is to protect creators, keep the platform safe, uphold its rules, and work with authorities. "Our priority is to protect creators and ensure a safer environment on Kick. All co-streamers who participated in this live broadcast have been banned pending the ongoing investigation," the company said. Still, experts warn the underlying problem runs deeper. Technology analyst Victor Baissait described that the drive for virality often rewards extreme and shocking content. 'It's very sad to say, but anything shocking creates a buzz. It snowballs, and influencers push limits to stand out. Sometimes the most extreme content becomes the most popular," he said. Videos reviewed by media outlets show Graven frequently subjected to bullying, physical attacks and degrading stunts, often carried out by fellow streamers he collaborated with. During the final marathon stream, viewers even donated money to send messages alerting his companions after he appeared unconscious. French authorities have ordered an autopsy and are examining whether criminal charges should follow.

Games publisher Kepler on cloud nine after smash hits
A man plays 'Clair Obscur: Expedition 33' in Montpellier, southern France. Developed by a small French studio, the role-playing title with its Belle Epoque style setting has notched up glowing reviews, four million sales and a message of congratulations from Macron. — AFP COLOGNE, Germany: Games publisher Kepler Interactive has notched up two of the breakout titles of the year with Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 and Rematch, reaping the rewards for developing independent projects on tight budgets. "It's almost impossible to predict a success like Expedition 33," Kepler chief Alexis Garavaryan told AFP ahead of the Gamescom trade show in the German city of Cologne this week, where he will be on the lookout for future hits. Developed by a small French studio, the role-playing title with its Belle Epoque style setting has notched up glowing reviews, four million sales and a message of congratulations from President Emmanuel Macron. The response crowned four years of hard work for Kepler, founded by seven independent studios with a US$120mil investment from Chinese tech giant NetEase in 2021. Garvaryan believes Kepler's unusual structure – each studio is a part owner – allows for better decision-making as developers who have already had several hit games have input into the group's direction. Creative freedom Based in London with around 50 employees, Kepler also publishes games from studios that do not belong to the group. Unlike most publishers, it does not demand a high level of control over production of the games in its stable. Kepler "never forces a decision on the teams", Garavaryan said. "We're just there to guide them and help them along, not to interfere," he said. That promise of creative freedom encouraged the team behind Expedition 33 to sign up with Kepler, rather than one of their other publishing suitors. "We liked their vision, the aspect of a publisher set up by developers who know what it's like being a studio," said Francois Meurisse, co-founder of creators Sandfall. Kepler enlisted star actors like Andy Serkis and Charlie Cox to lend their voices to characters, and struck a deal with Microsoft to add Expedition 33 to its Gamepass subscription service as soon as the title was released. 'Restrained budgets' "We're very selective: we look at 1,400 projects per year on average and only sign up two or three," Garavaryan said. He added that projects with "restrained budgets" but "sufficiently strong visual rendition and innovative game mechanics" were Kepler's unique selling point. French studio Sloclap, Kepler's biggest member with 135 staff, applied that formula for the hit football game Rematch that reached five million players in just one month. Sloclap chief Pierre de Margerie said that they shared with Expedition 33 both "an original proposal and quality execution". "The creative freedom we have is also tied to the fact that we don't need to sell five or 15 million copies to turn a profit," he added. Compared with so-called "AAA" blockbusters, whose development costs can run into the hundreds of millions, Kepler's titles are "more sustainable, more lean," said Rhys Elliott of gaming data firm Alinea Analytics. The production style "is going to be a real test case for the rest of the industry", he added. Now grown to nine member studios with the addition of outfits Tactical Adventures and The Gentlebros, Kepler has "no expansion plans" for now. Garavaryan called the strategy "reassuring" after "all of the excesses there have been in our industry over the past few years". – AFP
