Here’s a Game I Can Ridicule Guilt-Free - Delayed Input with Kyle Bosman

[@dmdearing]

"Heck, they also made Bilmo." Video has only been out 5 minutes and I already know this is an underappreciated joke.

[@SakuraAvalon]

I have never heard of Hyenas until now.

[@jabbawabs]

I'm proud that my patreon dollars are going toward Kyle being able to buy shovelware! Money well spent.

Finally someone giving Crashy Crash the respect it deserves.

[@CozyWizardVibes]

Kyle's "head-tilt looking through the top of my glasses" glance when the Unity logo popped up slayed me.

[@ryara3476]

Kyle is hilarious as hell I’m glad you still active with content creation

[@whizkid75]

I appreciate the fact that Kyle decided to play The Jumping Food Memory at 2:05AM.

[@Ridnarhtim]

The annoying thing is now Kyle can say this game is bad but I still can't, because I haven't played it myself.

[@axxa5000]

“Have you played it?” I fucking lost it 😂

[@SodaPopBot]

Congratulations on becoming a mother, Kyle 🐉

Thanks for another banger, appreciate the heck out of you Kyle

[@kylecunningham6167]

Hold up, you're telling me the developer of Bilmo is out of the biz? Truly a dark era.

[@WallabeeJones]

Kyle, you are on the cusp of the best hairstyle I've ever seen you have. Please grow out the flow for another couple months.

[@LimpingAuRa-]

I'm legit concerned about these layoffs and CEOs seemingly desperate to squeeze as much money and value from their products/service. It's not just the gaming industry, pretty much every industry is doing this for the last few years.

[@iridescent6685]

It's a legal necessity for any business with shareholders. Fiduciary Duty.

[@RobinClower]

Go on an acquisition spree, buying competitors, raise the stock because there's less competition. Then fire half the company because you're bloated and need to be lean to regain focus on your core competencies. Repeat until you're the only company in the market, have a monopoly, & then make increasingly shitty products and raise rates because nobody can compete with you. And if a new startup comes out of nowhere threatening you, buy them, gut them, and continue.

[@mrshmuga9]

⁠@@RobinClowerThe Embracer situation isn’t like that. They thought they were going to get a $2bn investment deal and started going on a buying spree. When that deal didn’t pan out, they had no choice but to cut/layoff all these companies because they couldn’t afford it. Obviously shouldn’t have been buying them first, or at least so many (companies on sale won’t wait for you over a competitor). Outside that, that’s not even what usually happens. Publishers don’t buy companies just to fire everybody to “remove competition” because those laid off employees would still be working in the industry for your competitors. What typically happens is they do let these companies make games, but when they reach a certain threshold where the publisher want to shut it down, they still funnel a lot of those employees into their other studios. Plus, it doesn’t make sense to buy companies for that sole purpose of destroying them. Not just because they would move to competitors, but because they’re no longer your competition _when you own them._ Their profit becomes _your_ profit.

[@sonicmania9993]

Plus A.I. will make many of those companies' expensive employees seem superfluous and expensive on any cost-vs-revenue chart. Expect layoffs to accelerate in many sectors, videogame industry included. It is literally 100s or 1000s to 1 cost, comparing human employees to capable A.I. Troubles ahead. Let's hope there are helping-the-human-race job sectors that will hire all these people. Pay them the same money to solve global warming or create clean water and food solutions, rather than to create bloom effects on a skateboarding videogame (which AI can do).

[@VicRattler]

One minor note, normally the car horn is perfectly placed, and this one was also very good, but the best possible spot for it was over that Unity screen. Sure, doing that would attach the joke to a very specific point in time, much less evergreen that way, but still I think it would've been the better spot. No zoom in, just play it when that logo screen comes up. boom 10/10 Great Episode otherwise tho. :)

[@Stormkyleis]

Finally, the long awaited sequel to one of my favorite Delayed Input episodes.

[@iridescent6685]

Do Not Crash is missing that Vampire Survivors progression scheme.

[@nothingkillsthegrimace3543]

As a huge Warhammer TW player, it rules to see Kyle talking about the Hyenas cancellation this week. Absolute bombshell announcement when they unceremoniously pulled the plug on it after so many years in development.

[@goranisacson2502]

So I've only been vaguely aware of Hyenas. How long WAS it in development?

[@nothingkillsthegrimace3543]

@@goranisacson2502 Supposedly the game has been in development for 6(?) years with at least one engine swap somewhere in there.

[@_TristanGray]

“We learned a heck of a lot!” 😢

[@PINKAS1]

12:41 a cut here to you with 600 coins buying it would have been gold!

[@Ben-do1bf]

The Jumping Food Memory is such a good name because of that additional "The". It sounds like it means something. So the obvious conclusion here is : Silent Hill: The Jumping Food Memories

[@HiCZoK]

Your comedic timing is what I love. Miserable humor.

[@snakedogman]

01:30 it looks like Ghostbusters 2016? No wonder it got cancelled.

[@mrshmuga9]

I can’t believe they didn’t release it. I’m sure one of the other characters in drag would’ve boosted sales immensely.

[@JollypunchGames]

How the hell do they allow devs to have games on the store without screenshots.

[@jacksonarnold27]

I’ve watched Kyle for basically a decade and I’ve still yet to see these commenters that he mentions

[@samwisegamegeek]

I thought you were "The Dark Prince Of Nerd Business."

[@MarkStuckert]

i come for the cold opens and i stay for the remainder of the video

[@Mauricio_Magus]

The honk killed me

It’s the eyebrow raise at the Unity logo for me

Fricking “Hog Slobber” killed me😂😂😂

[@mikebrushing1851]

was Hyenas the YO WE GOTTA KILL RICH PEOPLE game??

[@DontuseMyRealNameYTplz1425]

I am convinced Kyle is a standup comedian stuck on a video game journalist body

[@yoshimasterleader]

The makers of Do Not Crash is so ingrained in mobile game design they made the game grindy even though there's no premium currency.

[@sdouglasaustin]

This made me lol 3 times.

[@idrago01]

i have no guilt being happy about the cancellation of hyenas

[@FrothingFanboy]

Thigames been sidling up to Todd Howard's Reverse Hog Trough.

[@Totavier]

Didn't expected to see a sequel video of: "No Eff Plats", so yeah that was very random, lol!. Kind surprised that now those games, the developers now made well... "games" since you can now win or fail on it. But too bad that is still released in masses that flood the PS Store and overshadow other good and decent games on it. Also call the trophy's hunters that play those games: "Trophy's Goblins" and "Platinums Gremlins" was very, very kind from you part, lol!.

[@FebreGundam]

Is it weird that I just found out about Counter Strike 2 because of the cold opening?

[@arof7605]

Not really. Valve's marketing outside of the Steam store page itself is minimal. You're either in its ecosystem and know about Valve's updates or you don't.

[@johnwiswell4022]

I already played this on my phone two years ago!

[@EHeroClayman]

Horn dog. Chef's kiss.

[@thedapperdolphin1590]

I feel like Kyle is gaslighting us into thinking that Hyenas was a real game. I have no recollection of this.

[@sonicmania9993]

C'mon dude, it was announced at IGN's Summer of Gaming event 2022, to a huge chorus of astonished guffaws online, followed by some well-publicized online betas that SEGA/Creative Assembly tried their best (but unsuccessfully) to paint as successful.

[@JakkedDog]

Absolutely Hogslobber

[@beebomcgroober9316]

I thought maybe "Hyenas" was that game shown by Sony recently where a bunch of annoying zoomers rob Elon Musk's house, but apparently that's called "Fairgame$". I've never heard of "Hyenas", but the description sounds pretty much the same.

[@Synathidy]

Why haven't any of the jumping food games gotten remakes? I continue to bemoan the lost potential of this gaming generation. Remake that sh*t. Remake it every damn way possible, on every console possible, as many times as possible, so I can watch food jump at a PERFECT 120 fps with 50K resolution, and do it anywhere on any device at any time. Seeing food jump at any settings below 120 fps and 50K gives me a splitting headache and results in an emergency room visit and near death. So please remake them with non-substandard graphics, thx.

[@darthmarth87]

"made with unity" huh you know this is the sort of stuff I would fully support the whole install spam thing so they get charged each time XD

[@ashesofaranea]

CA has been fucking it up so heavily lately, their cash cow (total war warhammer 3) had just a small team of their what 600 employees working on dlc for it, left YEARS with terrible bugs and gamebreaking stuff. The massive increases in dlc prices recently for that same game, the decades long history of abandoning their games as soon as they don't sell well either the base game or the dlc, and to add to that HYENAS which is just like why go make this game and put your money and development time on one of the hardest genres to get to while you ignore the people actually funding your company.

What the fuck is Hyenas?........was it ever shown off or advertised in any way? I'm genuinely asking because I can't remember seeing it anywhere.

[@Renoistic]

It had an E3 trailer and a beta.

[@sonicmania9993]

IGN's Summer of Gaming 2022, quite a big audience there. Plenty of reporting in June 2022, but no-one was excited so if you happened to blink then it kind of disappeared. LIke the other reply said, there was also at least one big beta test.

I don't understand trying to gete platinum trophies. I've had a PS online account since PS had internet as an option. I'm pretty sure that I don't have a single plat trophy. There were a few times that I considered going for it, but there's always a few achievements that are way to grindy and annoying.

[@InnerRise]

If you considered it then you understand it somewhat. I have NEVER went for ANY trophy. I truly don't get it. Relaying not for fun but for some superficial achievement that affects nothing.

[@DerrickAMartin]

Hogwash. Also I bought it.

Kyle, may I point out to you that 89.2% of 3 players still means only 2 people platinumed the game.

[@LUEFSolutions]

I always wonder what it is like to work on projects like Heyna, Outriders, Immortals Of Aveum, and so on. I myself call games like these "Nothing Games" -- in that despite the clear massive amounts of work done by undoubtably talented people on the development team, I feel... nothing. Not joy, excitement, anger, repulsion, only indifference. These projects are almost always just high budget trend chasing reactionary games that never stop to understand WHY the thing they are copying is so resonant and just a plow away using sheer man power and resources to be the next big thing in a new market. The budget and hours of work are there, but the vision is not. It is often a mishmash of copying of superficial details while trying to "improve" the game with AAA design philosophy and game theory that doesn't really work in that context. I think it most be so frustrating working on a project like this because it takes up so much of your time, energy, and skill, but you know it is nothing. You are making a big fat nothing. Everyone can tell... and yet you gotta keep going. I know a job is a job, and not every creative project HAS to be fulfilling and special. But man, I just can't help but think of how draining something like that can be. These projects are massive, and you know at the end you will have nothing to show for it. No prestige, no bonuses, the studio will probably close with no severance, and it wasn't your fault. You did the work, you made the models, you wrote the code, you recorded the sound effects, but since it was all for an empty concept from people much further up it is going to tank, and you are going to take the hit. As much fun as it is to point and laugh at these nothing games -- my heart genuinely goes out to the rank and file who are just muddling through and giving their damnedest despite everything, only to be punished for delivering exactly what was asked for.

[@snakedogman]

They are like the (post Endgame) Marvel movies of video games. Just empty corporate sludge.
