NPC Miles Morales Robbed on TikTok Stream

gamerant.com:

TikTok personality Malik Ambersley, who has become well known in recent months for his Spider-Man’s Miles Morales NPC livestreams, was robbed on camera at the end of April. The NPC livestream trend grew in popularity mainly thanks to PinkyDoll, who pretends to be a video game NPC reacting to gifts sent to her by TikTok viewers. Since her whirlwind debut, PinkyDoll, real name Fedha Sinon, has amassed over 1.7 million followers on the social media platform and at one point earned upwards of $3,000 per stream.

Other streamers, like Cherry Crush and Satoyu727, experienced similar success, inspiring others to join in the trend. One such TikTok creator was Malik, who livestreams as the popular title character from Spider-Man: Miles Morales by Insomniac Games. His new gig, which mostly entails hanging out in various locations and thanking viewers as they send him gifts like roses, ice cream, and galaxies, is likely more fulfilling than his previous job as a Domino’s delivery driver.

However, it’s not all roses for NPC Tiktok personalities, as a recently surfaced clip reveals. At the end of April, Malik was livestreaming as Spider-Man's Miles Morales when a passerby approached and began joking with him and the viewers. The atmosphere was friendly, and Malik seemed to be having a good time. He was laughing with the unexpected visitor and even broke character momentarily to pose for a selfie with him. However, while the TikToker left his camera unattended to interact with the passerby, the video feed momentarily froze as the camera suddenly moved.

Several seconds later, the video feed resumed, with Malik laughing but noticeably upset as he revealed that somebody had stolen his phone. “That’s hilarious, that’s hilarious,” the streamer repeated. Many people might assume that the passerby was part of the robbery, serving as a distraction. However, after the camera was stolen, the stranger was still present. He insisted that he was not involved and apologized for distracting
