2:26The narrator says investigations continue and repeats the team's request not to spread unverified claims.

Manuel Otto created Stick Run as a teenager. The multiplayer Facebook game is now at the center of a tribute from its team, which has confirmed the German developer's death.

ETimes' report brings together that statement, archive photographs and social media clips of Otto. The team remembers his work and offers condolences to his family and friends. Its message also asks people not to spread unverified claims about the circumstances of his death.

That distinction matters here: the team's confirmation of his death is separate from the accounts circulating about a Twitch livestream. The report says investigations remain ongoing; those online accounts do not establish what happened.

The upload drew roughly 18,000 views in its first eight hours, already well beyond the channel's usual full first day for regular videos. But the most useful part for people who remember Stick Run is the team's tribute, presented just over a minute into the report, which returns the focus to the person who made the game.
