TotalBiscuit comes under-fire once again as Guise of the Wolf developer FUN Creators places a copyright claim on his video.
Will looks at what has happened, what Fun Creators have to gain, and if is possible it was an impostor some claim.
"Just recently Gearbox dropped their "Bulletstorm: Full Clip Edition" deal with G2A, as they failed to meet their ethics demands. Well, that's no news by now. However, we have a history with G2A. So I want to share our experience with them with you all. So here's my take on the Gearbox/G2A deal and G2A as a whole" - Robin Ek, TGG
What about the limited editions? Thought it was G2A who were actually making the models...
I think that one is not going to happen now, as Gearbox doesn't want to have anything to do with G2A.
I never intended to buy any of their games anyways. My thoughts exactly...
Some people believe that this was just a PR-trick by Gearbox to get sympathy buyers for their games. I don't know if that's the truth, but it wouldn't surprise me if it's the actual truth behind it all.
Wait, Gearbox? Didn't their CEO sing some anti-GamerGate song live not so long ago? Furthermore, G2A should be taken to court for their bs moves in the games industry.
Simon_the_sorcerer@ "Hmm, that's worth looking into for sure."
- I'm going to mail Gearbox about it.
TotalBiscuit brings you an essay video on Bethesda's recently released review policy.
I only watched because it was Total Biscuit. And I want to make it clear I have no love for Bethesda, they were making me mad with all their lawsuits years ago and they really lost me when they tired to push paid mods something which they have said is still on their road map (which is why they removed mods from steam workshop and put them into a workshop which they 100% control). And that said I agree with whats said here 99.9%.
The only thing he didn't cover is the troll reviews, the for clicks reviews that people post that have nothing but negative things to say because they know that's what gets clicks. And while I agree that it's anti-consumer to deny people information in some way I feel like the "unscrupulous" review sites trying to make a name for themselves are at least in part responsible. That said I still don't think the correct answer is to with hold reviews entirely and I also don't have a good solution because reviewers need to be able to feel open to give negative reviews. So if developers just blacklist anyone who says anything negative that's going down the same path that this discussion is about.
I guess all I am saying is that perhaps this is in some ways another case of a few bad apples spoiling the bunch, though not really because at the end of the day i think the whole thing is anti-consumer.
TotalBiscuit brings you a discussion on the hype surrounding the highly anticipated game, No Man's Sky.
Which he did! Six or so days of trying to play the game before he gave up because of all the monotony.
Then again, you could actually WATCH the video and LISTEN to what he's saying instead of blindly dismissing anything and anyone who dares to criticize the game in any sort of way.
Why would I care what HE did I'm talking about ME, why would I watch a 40 minute video when a 5-10 one would have no doubt been enough, 40 minutes tho that's far too long to watch about the hype of a game who actually cares that much.... Looks at comments... No one either enjoy the game or don't but aint got time for 40 minutes of hype disscussion.
1. He turns off comments because he doesn't approve of the lack of moderation. He has an official subReddit that can be used for that purpose, where he has more control over what is posted.
2. Doing long-form videos is his style. He's NEVER liked to do shorter videos because he goes into explicit detail about his viewpoints.
3. Maybe it's something you SHOULD make time for. Perhaps it's something that needs to be discussed in more detail. Buying into hype blindly even though we've been fooled time and time again, and not looking before we leap. How many more times are we going to do that?
It is unfair to see so much hate towards one more who more than anything is just trying to make a living. If you don't like what he does just don't watch him or anything. No need for all these personal attacks.
Fun creators, ironic name?
It's just a shame that his medium of work happens to take place in a barren wasteland called the internet. No friendlies at all out here, just bandits.
Game developers seem to be getting too big for there shoes sometimes, not ever taking criticism. It's exactly the same as WarZ all over again. The whole point of a critique is to learn where you went wrong and improve on it.
Also TotalBiscuit has nothing to gain by "Blackmailing" them. It just sounds like Fun Creator are just ashamed of their actions and trying to cover up their mistake.
Ah yeah. Nice way to avoid a duplicate story, just set it as an opinion piece and rehash information someone else got out first. http://n4g.com/news/1457382...
He gets around 200k viewers per video and youtube pays $1.50 - $4 per 1000 views!
So he roughly gets paid $600 per video and he has 2400 vidoes thats over $1000000 from making youtube videos...
My heart bleeds for him -.-
