The single worst moment of my entire life is recorded somewhere as a 911 call. There are no words to describe what I'd do if I found someone using it to pad out some trashy horror game.

[@thomish]

💡

[@dondon8025]

i'm glad you're still here

[@lupuslapas6568]

​@@StevenCodeBlackJust giving you info here -- 911 calls are public record. Anyone can request a recording for a 911 call but it is entirely up to whoever owns the record (ala, the department in which its kept) whether or not the request will be accepted or rejected. Nothing illegal about it. Is it extremely fucked up the developer used real audio of someone right before they were SA'd? Yes. Is it illegal? No. I'm not sure of the legal situation surrounding the possibility of the person in the call being able to sue the developer for intentional emotional distress to someone who is disabled (in this case, the person in the call would have been experiencing extreme trauma that would leave them with PTSD, which counts as a disability). If they are able to sue the developer for some sort of intentional harm, I would love for them to do so. The only way to get to these kinds of people is for them to face monetary consequences. I just hope the person who's 911 call was used for a shitty horror game by a shitty person is doing well while this guy has a horrible downfall sooner rather than later.

[@lupuslapas6568]

​@@StevenCodeBlackTo add more info -- this recording specifically was also used in a song as someone in another comment mentioned. The song that used it was done with much more respect towards the person and subject. There are various songs that use audio of seized evidence as well as 911 calls so it goes to show that they are relatively easy to get ahold of if you know what you're looking for.

⁠@@Squant you have tried to make this point a couple of times, but where on tv is this allowed?

@@FTZPLTCreminds me of when people say that some celebrity got „cancelled“, and yet those celebrities still manage to make millions every year

[@FTZPLTC]

@@KeDe1606 - Right? Like, a big part of why "cancellation" became a thing that people know was because someone said "Hey, it's kind of a bad thing that R Kelly still makes shitloads of money, isn't it". Most "cancelled" people have just been made aware that they're unpopular with people who had previously never heard of them. It might dent their pride, but it probably won't dent their income.

[@KeDe1606]

@@FTZPLTC true. And it confuses me that the people who keep peddling this „cancellation scare“. Like, look at who the „main victims of cancellation“ are supposed to be. JK Rowling and Dave Chappelle. Both are multi-millionaires. The former had one of the biggest game releases of the prior year (or was it 2022? Honestly, the last couple of years tend to blend together in my mind), and she’s still massively profiteering from all the godawful HP spin-offs and sequels that get made every 2 to 3 years. And the latter just got a goddamn Netflix special. Not to mention that all his shows are constantly getting bought out as well. Is this what being cancelled is supposed to look like? If so, then… cancel me, please. I want to be a multi-millionaire, and get a Netflix special, and have one of the largest media franchises ever made under my thumb. „Cancellation“ only really works on niche internet celebrities (or when the recipient goes to jail). And even then, most of them can just put out some half-hearted „apology“, and all their fans will go back to mindlessly consuming all of their stuff in no time. You have to be really small, and do something incredibly messed up for a „cancellation“ to truly stick. The only person that comes to mind right now, that truly got cancelled in the fullest sense of the word, is… James Somerton. Even Kanye, who had one of the worst celebrity meltdowns I have ever seen, is still doing just fine. He did his little „apology“, his weird foldable socks are probably gonna sell like hotcakes, and I bet his next album/song is gonna be another megahit as well. There are currently celebrities out there who are peddling anti-vax propaganda and other conspiracy theories, promoting cults, had/have sexual relations with multiple minors (or at least people who are multiple decades younger than them), have a history of committing hate crimes, and so so much more, yet they’re all doing completely fine. I… don’t know how to end this comment. Cancel culture isn’t a thing, and everyone who believes it is… are weird

[@pigwank420]

Akira Yamaoka should be the one suing tbh

[@jtlego1]

The fact that he's been duped *multiple times* into making music/tracks for Silent Hill ripoffs (with WAY too many skeletons in their developmental/writing closets) is just plain sad. He deserves better.

[@icravedeath.1200]

​@@jtlego1he should obtain the rights to his music so that the games can still use it but he can do whatever the fuck he wants with it.

[@El_Rey_247]

Using real 911 calls reminds me of that movie trailer that used the Beirut explosion, except there they _maybe_ have the excuse of it just being laziness instead of malice. In this case, though, if they really did have voice actors do a recreation and _still_ went with the original call, even the lowest bar of possible laziness is no defense. That's just a poor sense of ethics, one that seemingly hasn't improved.

[@emmettbrown3463]

they claimed they used it as reference and forgot to remove iirc? still baffling that it happened like oh my god imagine messing up that bad

[@samboujaiteh3331]

Man destroyed his own career through actions alone. All Bob has to do now is let every one know it's "From the developer of 'Stray Souls'" whenever he tries to hide behind a new project now.

[@1lapmagic]

I don't think this was ever a "career"

[@baydiac]

It really goes to show how easy it is to destroy yourself. Artur could've just said "after hearing backlash about my personal views I (a) researched everyone's complaints and came to the realization that I was being completely out of control. I should have been taking serious issues much more seriously than I have been and I'm embarrassed to know I negligently, apathetically became responsible for compounding other people's pain. Some of the people who have been following my work for a long time feel betrayed by me, and I can see why. I'm sorry. (or b) would like to stress that my political views on civil rights are separate from my work and I'd like to keep it that way. If you can't reconcile your values with supporting my work, I understand." People would've easily let it go! People let EVERYTHING go! Artur could've pulled a scott cawthon (if he really wanted he could've only pretended to step down, but it's a matter of integrity and risk vs. reward lol). OR, get this, he could've kept his mouth shut and never addressed it at all and people would've let it go. Most people aren't caught up on internet discourse and would never know there's a problem if he didn't say a word. The man Streisand-effected himself. Rest in piss, truly.

[@likeahorse]

How dare you tell people about the things he did and said

[@PanAndScanBuddy]

Ooh boy, I would not want to be Artur's lawyer when the bit about the 9/11 call came out. Juries tend to take that kind of thing as negative, since they're almost certainly not the kind of forum dweller who sees no problem using a real one and not a re-enactment.

[@jimballard1186]

I frankly don't think a reenactment is enough. He should have written a new one; preferably one that isn't as loaded and emotionally damaging as an SA.

​@@mackobogdaniec2699considering the author of the vid mentioned that occasionally the "Official Game Developer" account also liked and reposted this tweet, does this mean its wrong for people to just look up stuff like what Electronic Arts or Gameloft or any other major company liked on their official social media platforms?

[@smashproductions59]

That part about the 911 call is so disturbing. Yeah, it’s totally necessary to use actual audio of SA for a shitty video game. Jesus

[@ninjabunny9526]

I've watched a playthrough of stray souls on KZbin like eight times at this point so it's safe to say I'm utterly captivated by it. I am not exaggerating here when I say not a single thing in that game makes any sense. Things are just constantly randomly happening for no coherent reason. It is such a high amount of incompetency on display that honestly artur should have just kept making games under the same studio name, bc there's a nonzero chance it would attract a Niel Breen-esque audience to it just from how hilariously bad its games are. Of course Niel Breen doesn't go around threatening lawsuits and liking racist and transphobic tweets so he'd still have that going against him.

[@Daftanemone]

Haha this is me with yiik. It’s so insanely entertaining watching videos about games that are so misguided in everything

[@1lapmagic]

"liking racist and transphobic tweets" is where terminally online folks draw the line on others

Oh, god. That using the actual 911 call is... extremely fucked up, holy shit. How can you see that as okay?

By being so convinced that it's super artistic and that the authenticity of the call is necessary to truly elevate your work that the question, "Isn't this fucked up?" slips in one ear and flies out the other.

I saw this pop up on twitter on Jukai's feed, I wanted to reply but ultimately did not. I was very excited for Stray Souls but a few weeks before release I heard about the devs engaging with alot of transphobia so I took it off my list. I found it ironic that Jukai stated in their post that they've dealt with alot of harassment while also going out of their way to tag you like 9 times. Plus, the comments they showed from fans being from explicitly right wing accounts praising them for standing up to the "libtards." All in all, an incredibly gross situation. I think your critiques of them are perfectly justified and them retaliating with comments of how "mentally unwell" it made them feel is classic manipulative deflection we've seen in so many different youtuber apologies funnily enough. They don't feel bad and they haven't changed at all and them surrounding themselves with hateful anti LGBTQIA+ accounts shows they'd rather insulate themselves in an echochamber rather than actually reflect.

I found this video on Twitter and clicked on it, not knowing it was about 'the Stray Souls guy', and I am impressed at much more horrible he is than I had originally anticipated.

[@Wingsaber]

Glad to see another video from you, love your content ❤ That lawyer mode shouting made me laugh way too hard every single time you did it. Love your personality and tasteful humour that shines in your videos!

[@iskraiskra_9007]

im gonna take a hit here and say something as someone graduating from a game dev university this year in poland: no one respects bloober here lmao - they carry themselves with so much pomp as if they are heel to heel with CDPRO but they end up putting out mediocore projects and ALLEGEDLY have terrible working conditions - had a couple folk from my uni QC for them forr uni credit and, well, let's say they didn't stay lol (Adam being an ass is just a cherry on top - good work on pronouncing his surname btw, polish sucks ball. Hot tip if you want to roast him more accurately, in his name the accent would fall on the first syllable: Ar - tur [up, down]) Love ya dude

[@CaecusYT]

My friend used to work in the same building as bloober and some of his friends worked there, I don't remember him talking about bad work conditions, but I do remember hearing how they were scrambling for game designers and particularly people who know how to develop combat haha. Also got some leaks from the guy developing the fog, he was using the PS2 models though which I found pretty odd.

[@iskraiskra_9007]

@CaecusYT YES oh my god they were always hiring, it felt like they were going through a mill of people, it was a miracle they settled on a proper team before the game was halfway done From what she told me it was just a lot of responsibilities from other teams being dumped on teams that they were not always qualified in (think pulling environmental design/level design to do animation because they are short on ppl or deadline is close)

Say what you will about Stray Souls, but it's release brought us a new Bobvids Bobvid, so at least one bit of good came out of it.

Lovely to have a new video from you, even though the circumstances are... Mixed!

This malicious little pustule had to be dissected for the sake of preventing future harm. Sorry that you had to deal with this hazard. And Thank You, Bob.

[@grassgrey7473]

played this game because of it's "so bad it's good" potential like a month ago and had to quit when the actual gameplay started because it was so ass that me and the friends that i was screensharing it to couldn't stomach it to see the funny cutscenes. Good to know that "art" is a reflection of it's "author" ("dookie" "doodoo").

Babe wake up, new bobvids video came out.

[@LadyGoggles]

really great to see you again bob. missed your stuff. as for the subject of the video… i had to stop at the 911 call info. it’s absolutely horrific and just so goddamn appalling. there’s nothing wrong with pushing the artistic envelope and creating something covering sensitive subject matter… but that’s not the intent here. it’s monstrous. thank you for covering this.

[@Paulysolo]

Good to see you Bob despite the circumstances.

[@Marcomax-hh9ze]

So funny story. After rewatching "Sustaining Stupidity - Why CinemaSins is Still Terrible", I wanted to see if you were working on any new projects. So I looked you up on twitter and found the accusation post from Jukai Studio's. Now I've seen my fair share of posts like this, so I could tell something was up. The examples he gave didnt really help his case either. I'm glad to at least have a fuller picture.

[@mewmedic]

Yes! There it is! There it is! A new Bobvids upload! I didn't realize he was also making Supernormal too. So shady.

[@biel96]

[@minomushi_hitogata]

This video is my introduction to you and your channel (found a link to this from the steam review comment section of the Supernormal store page 💀💀💀) and lemme just say, I have subscribed and very much enjoyed the video!

[@infinitivez]

Imagine my surprise that he'd turn to blaming others for the game's crappy reception and his prior online behavior. Ah yes, because the call out campaign was so incredibly time consuming Artur couldn't log off twitter long enough to finish the game they started. After your post back in Jun, things died out considerably by July and were widely left alone until the release of the game. Because as usual, if it doesn't affect people directly, people don't care about racism or transphobia. Heck, I forgot all about it until Steph (of Jimquisition) mentioned it in one of their videos back in Oct, and I went to check the steam reviews and forums. Funny how you're blamed for the obvious lack of .. everything in the game; given that on release date they had 88 negative reviews and nearly none of them made mention to Artur's media mishaps. lol I believe from reading the forums there is in fact two "developers", and you might have gotten ahold of the other one, because people don't usually do that great a job of playing dumb. It's also rumored on the Steam forum posts there's two people responsible. But who knows, neither of them would come forward then or now, and they're both likely to be equally unlikeable given the state of this game, and how they ran away with people's money. Edit: Confirmed from a PC Games Insider article: www.pcgamesinsider.biz/interviews-and-opinion/73834/interview-jukai-studio-talks-psychological-thriller-stray-souls/ The second party to this madness was Pete Wicher aka the Music Composer, who just so happens to be a part of Nightwolf Games, who also just happens to be making yet another psychological horror called Road to Hollow Hills, which looks oddly similar? While it's not unlikely for two studios to share a music/sfx artist, it is uncommon for that other studio's main steam account to make comments on the Stray Soul's steam discussion page.

[@rosewilson1052]

Looking more into the game Road to Hollow Hills, I fucking see it. Very homecoming/downpour vibes with a Murphy Pendleton-esque protag wrongfully jailed, apparently. Even one of the screenshots on the store page for the game has a SH2/SH3 toilet reference in a bathroom with "that's gross, even for me". I even googled some gameplay shots of Silent Hill Downpour, and they look super similar.

[@Kth77]

Social media has had some bad effects on our brains, but I do applaud it for how often shitty people show their asses on them.

[@fealow4983]

You're talking about right?

[@315peaks]

thanks for this vid, I watched the Supernormal trailer during some game show and I was interested but knowing about the dev and how he not only is a weirdo pos but just untalented and doesnt respect his peers just isn't something I'd support. Great video as always, thanks for sharing this information.

[@UndeadBrett]

Why does Quinton reviews keep randomly showing up at bob's place to shout during his videos That's very rude of him

More Bob, PLEASE.

[@SailorPeach]

Thank you for the video going over it all! Redrum was kind enough to send me an email after I had retweeted a post for the game looking for content creators to inform me of the situation and I greatly appreciated it. I had seen the issues with the dev a few months prior, I want to say your original tweets, but I hadn't blocked anything and have some memory issues so had forgotten by the time the game then released so was very grateful to be reminded. I hope things go well for you in dealing with this!

[@AoiLucine]

Oh off note-- I was curious and looked up the book you used as a reference for a transcript of the 911 call and saw it was 'Shooting Straight', which was basically a pro-gun/2nd amendment book, who's author I recognized from somewhere. Wayne LaPierre, aka the CEO of the NRA, who's just now being tried in a civil suit in NY for basically using the NRA to fund his luxury life style (aka, using the pro-gun paranoia and the deaths of millions of innocent Americans for his own corporate greed) and only just finally stepped down as CEO. So that fucker ALSO used the harrowing 911 call of a innocent woman's worst experience for his own propaganda. Geez! Nice people we got here. 🙃

[@SonicRooncoPrime]

What a toxic mess. I'm sorry you had to go through all this. I appreciate you starting with a SnapCube reference at least, that gave me a buffer before all the other stuff :/

[@puppyhowler]

i've never had to call 9-11 before... but if i ever did... and i found out someone used it for some shit ass horror game... i would show no mercy and sue the dev out of existence. seriously, shame on the devs for thinking that was an okay idea to put an ACTUAL 911 call that contained one of the worst moments of someone's life. seriously wtf?

[@General_Maximus]

ITS NOT ILLEGAL THOUGH... 911 AUDIO IS PUBLIC RECORD.

[@Thaelyn1312]

I saw the original tweet & even RTed it myself. Also, I thought it was bad, then it got worse...& worse...&. Fuckin. Worse. I am honestly astonished & if I wasn't laughing, I would be sobbing. My fucking gods.

9:28 Where is that sound before the cut to Future Bob from? It’s so distinctive, but ai can’t place it. I know I’ve seen the movie though

[@HuecoMundoKidd]

Right before this (supernormal) I watched someone play this and they mentioned the mixed reviews in the beginning of the video and it all comes full circle, that’s why there’s so many mixed reviews I feel like I just got the last piece in a 20 year investigation
