Career
History
2014–16: Early years
Prior to YouTube, his screen name "KreekCraft" originated from the random name generator in World of Warcraft, which generated "Kreek". Afterwards, Waldron got into Minecraft and Kreek alone was taken, so he added "Craft".[4]
The KreekCraft channel was created on April 9, 2014, following a previous channel which was deleted prior. Waldron started off his channel uploading Minecraft videos.[4]
2016–present: Roblox
After many requests from viewers, Waldron started playing Roblox in 2016, his first game being Phantom Forces.[5] Waldron eventually transitioned from Minecraft videos to mainly Roblox videos.[6]
In July 2022, Waldron addressed an exploit used by the Roblox game Crossroads to ban players off the platform. Waldron also stated he used an alternative account to access the game and test the exploited game, stating his account was banned after accessing the game.[7]
In August 2023, Waldron signed with the Creative Artists Agency (CAA).[6] In September 2024, Waldron signed with the United Talent Agency (UTA).[8]
On August 12, 2025, Waldron criticized Roblox Corporation's decision to ban fellow YouTuber Schlep, who was known for catching predators on the platform.[9] Two days later, Waldron announced his departure from the Roblox Video Stars Program because of Roblox's inactivity in ensuring child safety.[10][11]
Collaborations
In April 2023, Waldron collaborated with English singer Rick Astley to play Roblox for Comic Relief USA.[12]
In February 2024, Waldron collaborated with Fortnite streamer Nick Eh 30.[13]
Pixel Playground
In March 2023, Waldron joined Misfits Gaming as creative director and co-founder of a new game development studio based in Roblox called Pixel Playground with fellow streamer Karl Jacobs.[14][15]
Their first game, titled Gameshow, was released on August 17, 2023.[16]
They went live on tour on October 7, 2023, in Miami, Florida, October 29 in Houston, Texas, and November 11 in Long Beach, California.[17]
On September 30, 2024, Waldron announced his departure from Pixel Playground and Misfits Gaming due to creative differences and to pursue his own projects.[‡ 2]
