The original and first show, Arin and Dan (who has replaced Jon in 2013). Each is different from most Let's Play channels, as there are no face cams and only the game footage is shown on screen. Game Grumps has not yet issued an official response.The Game Grumps channel features a few different shows. Splinter Cell's creative director resigned over allegations of sexual misconduct, although his were far more serious. In particular, situations like Avidan's, where there is a power imbalance between himself (a celebrity) and his partner (a fan) are seldom entirely healthy for all involved. That said, if Avidan's habit of ghosting his younger fans turns out to be true, it is, at the very least, morally reprehensible. While criticisms against predatory men have gotten and should continue to receive credence, these accusations have not yet coalesced into something damning from a legal perspective. Their counter-argument is that the sex was between two consenting adults and, as the conversation was not sexual before the woman in question was of age, no crime was committed. The surprise comes from the reputation Dan has cultivated as a friendly person, and many fans are declaring that he should not be condemned. Schwartz later stated outright "Dan Avidan is a dangerous man and a predator." Again, the unfortunate reality is that accusations of sexual misconduct in the videogame industry are not uncommon. One of the most prominent accusations comes from Kati Schwartz, who first wrote a play called "Bad People" in which one character seems to be meant as a stand-in for Avidan. This is not the first time that Avidan has been said to ghost women he has dated or sexted, and he has reportedly gained a reputation for doing so. This led to an eventual meeting and sexual encounter, and a short time later "all contact from Dan ceased." The two remained connected and, after several years, their conversations became sexual. At this time, there was no sexual conversation. The story, which has led to grooming allegations as opposed to more general sexual misconduct is thus: the woman in question contacted Avidan at 17.

Apparently, Avidan has a history of holding phone and text conversations and relationships with young female fans, having sexual encounters with them, and later, withdrawing from all contact. The controversy centers around a pattern that has, allegedly, been widely known to members of the LA cosplay community for many years. Daniel Avidan is also part of the band Ninja Sex Party.
This is now the case with Daniel Avidan, co-host of the YouTube show Game Grumps, the group also responsible for Soviet Jump Game. Where video games and celebrity meet, there is often controversy.
I have made mistakes in the past, and I apologize if my actions or words ever made anyone upset, but those mistakes were never ill-intentioned, exploitative or illegal in any capacity." To claim I engaged in any predatory behavior is simply untrue. "I stand by the fact that any interactions that took place of a sexual nature with the person in question were done so when she was 22 years old and we were both consenting adults.
