Clash Royale’s comeback should’ve been a celebration. Instead, it’s turning into a controversy.
It’s wild how one short line on social media can sum up months of tension, but that’s exactly what happened when Jynxzi took to X and dropped what he called “probably the biggest spit in the face" he's ever seen.
If you’ve been following the Clash Royale world lately, you'll understand the frustration behind that. There’s a very real sense among fans — and now from Jynxzi himself — that Supercell haven't properly recognized the person who helped bring life back to their game.
The situation came to a boiling point after Supercell shared a blog post in which the developers celebrated Clash Royale's monumental growth in 2025.
Jynxzi Slams Supercell for Ignoring His Impact On Clash Royale
However, there was no mention of Jynxzi or how much his community contributed to the game's revival. For many, it's a rather glaring oversight given he’s one of the most popular gaming personalities online, with millions of followers across Twitch and YouTube who regularly watch his Clash Royale content.

Prior to Jynxzi playing Clash Royale on his streams, the game was in a weird place for a long period of time. People who had played for years drifted off. The game still had its die-hard crowd, but the wider community had begun dropping the strategic card battler.
Then Jynxzi started streaming the game, and suddenly there were headlines, memes, crazy game highlights, and genuine buzz surrounding Clash Royale.
Jynxzi was also responsible for bringing other massive streaming personalities to the game, such as iShowSpeed and xQc, which further shone the spotlight on the game. YouTube's largest creator, MrBeast, voiced his support by stating he only started playing Clash Royale because of Jynxzi.

Yet right now, it seems like Supercell’s official narrative about the game’s resurgence doesn’t include him. It's unclear why Supercell chose not to acknowledge Jynxzi.
What's clear is Jynxzi's very open criticisms of the game, which culminated in a video he posted on February 7th titled "I'm Quitting Clash Royale." In it, he states that he will be stopping Clash Royale content in light of new mechanics, namely Heroes and Card Level 16, that leaned heavily into pay-to-win mechanics and did not meaningfully contribute to the game.
Has Supercell Said Anything About The Situation?
Supercell has not made any comment about the situation. It's rare for the Finnish developers to publicly engage with discourse that does not directly affect any of their games.
Regardless, many players have begun protesting Supercell's disregard for Jynxzi by deleting Clash Royale from their devices. This includes fellow streamer Sketch, who vowed not to touch the game until Supercell acknowledged Jynxzi's impact.
Not touching @ClashRoyale again until @supercell acknowledges Jynxzi's impact. Disgusting to act as if a dev changed a game that's been the same for years.@jynxzi I'm done letting you be humble. From Clash, RL & R6 YOU revived those games. The only creator to do so AND... pic.twitter.com/Byp3ejlOYl

Only time will tell if Supercell will respond to the public backlash surrounding the biggest title currently in their catalog.
