The Dark Truth About Quackalope

[@BoardGameCo]

Wow. Somehow I'm shocked and totally unsurprised at the same time. This is a sad day in the board game space.

[@picklebuckeye]

You think you know someone… 😛

#NotEnoughDrama

[@Nidamir]

And I thought board game space is free of this kind of dramas. Guess it's time to switch hobbies again, maybe ant farms this time?

[@Quackalope]

I can explain . . .

[@sethwinslow]

Alex, I’m definitely going to grill you on the inside story behind this drama at the online chat today. How far will this awful feud go? Will it hit Boardgameco? Will it jeopardize your CMO position? And finely, who will make a heads to head two player skirmish game of this war between the content creators? Ducks vs Dragons????

[@HansJoachimMaier]

Oh my, this video aged well.

[@MCSgamers]

What happend?

[@pnpgutterfold]

@@MCSgamersI wanna know, too, but it might just be that Quackalope has more subs and views.

[@munchinkin]

quackalope was in a controversy because they threatened a game designer that if they didnt gave them money they would do a negative review on their games ... makes some search on the net and you ll find out ... they re just sellouts

[@pnpgutterfold]

@@munchinkin Late reply from me: thanks for the info!

[@danielprivett6155]

This has been hilarious to watch, but it's also pretty terrifying how many people I've encountered that are taking it seriously.

[@prototypep4]

If Quackalope is involved it's never serious.

[@buddhawasright]

@@prototypep4 just keep telling your mom that story.

This aged well...I only had to pay $5500 to post this. Thanks Dragon you are the best of the best

[@kosterix123]

What?

[@d-versepublishing]

I’d like to issue a formal statement regarding our relationship with Quackalope. When Jesse begged me for a chance to preview our game, I was under the impression they were the only content creators in the board game space. I didn’t realize the toxic history of the channel. That said, I’d like to pledge my unwavering support for whoever comes out ahead. - J. Scott Rumptz Co-Founder D-Verse Publishing LLC

Not sure I have ever seen a video partnership between 2 channels (which was meant to be a joke) come completely full circle...but here we are.

[@RoomandBoardReviews]

See this is why I trust you with all my board game needs. More like Hack-alope! I've always been more of a Dragon guy anyway.

[@Shuckleking87]

This video is amazing

No wonder Jan left the channel.

Careful Jeff, I’m getting strong supervillain origin vibes from that audio clip (like Syndrome in the Incredibles). I imagine everything he’s doing is to spite you and tear you down. Who knows what else he’s capable of?

[@reedmccullough7137]

I heard he tried to use a weapon he didn't purchase from a dealer or get a background check

[@drg3712]

It’s odd that’s for sure. I’d like to give the guy the benefit of doubt… but who wears a touque in the summer? We wear them in Canada to keep our ears and bald spots from freezing. That may explain his strange behaviour

Quackalope only started growing when shira, wes, Alex, devon , started showing up. Jesse is still just a Quack. I know he is a quack because I’ve watched almost every video he has put out. I’m only watching and subscribed so that I can see the Day he fails. After these last few years my anticipation is growing just like his channel. It’s huge.

Yep, never played any games actually - not a single one.

@@Quackalope then why are those boxes unshrinked huh? Explain that sir? How can you unshrink boxes and still call yourself a board gamer KZbinr? True board gamers keep they boxes in shrink keeping their resale value. How many dollars have you earned by or playing your games? Hmmm?
