"While discussing how they're not there to announce that the game is out of open beta after 12 years of development, Ford shot directly at Starr because the only thing they learned in 12 years is that he'll "do anything for money." Cue to Starr, cascaded in a red hue as he gives a slight smile and a double thumbs-up in what could easily be a Call of Duty or Fortnite emote."
"In 2023, he was captured with a blindingly bright light in his face that absolutely washed out his complexion. There was also another year where Starr was snapped with a somewhat darker exposure that made him look dull. I guess Charlie Kelly's rock opera from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia about the "Day Man" and the "Night Man" has come true, though I suppose you'll have to add "Red Man" in there, too."
"Sometimes you get caught on camera at something like a baseball game, and your face is forever immortalized with whatever cheese or grimace you made. Ben Starr understood that as, when the camera cut to him during a The Game Awards segment, the prolific voice actor gave a wry smile and two thumbs up. And honestly, it might just be the perfect meme to encapsulate this whole year."
Ben Starr received camera focus during The Game Awards and responded with a wry smile and two thumbs up, holding the pose under a red hue for several seconds. Digital Extremes' Megan Everett and Rebecca Ford referenced Warframe's long development and joked that Starr would "do anything for money," prompting the reaction. Starr had previous notable on-camera exposures, including a blinding 2023 light and a darker shot in another year, inspiring jokes about "Day Man," "Night Man," and "Red Man." The image resonated as an emblem of collective weariness amid a contracting job market, AI uncertainty, industry layoffs, and relentless global crises, prompting wry, resigned amusement.
