[@jawnashun777]

I know right!

[@Draklossse]

You hit the nail on the head. A lot of people seem to not understand that we aren’t saying we want absolutely no politics in game, we’re saying we want it to not come at the expense of writing and overall quality of the game.

[@nackedsnake1]

It's so crazy to imagine these are your first videos. AAA videos despite what opinions you shared (which I totally agree btw)

[@justacomment123]

My favorite thing you brought up was Alpha and Beta testing being a tool for smaller developers. It's downright shameful that multimillion dollar companies rely on the same tactics while charging premium prices. Entertainment companies abuse goodwill in ways that no other commercial products can. It's time we respect merit, not intentions.

[@JamesMBC]

Man, I'm all in on these videos! Could this be the birth of a new thoughtful, reasonable, commentary channel on games industry and culture? It feels like The Act Man channel, but from the point of view of someone that loves games but has other things going on in life, who can't grind a game 8hrs a day, just like most of us. I love how you add the name of the game whenever you show gameplay from that game, it helps for games that I can't recognize via gameplay, having not played them. It's a small detail, but attention to detail is a huge thing for making a high quality anything. The SA accent is also nice.

[@clintgahm1495]

You have a gift for focusing your honest thoughts and feelings to a razor sharp point that effortlessly cuts straight to the truth of things. I look forward to following along for the journey and seeing where your heart guides you next.

[@ragos0587]

Gotta say, it's refreshing seeing someone putting what a big part of the gaming community thinks in a calm and thoughtful manner. Thanks for the video and keep the awesome work!

[@justaweeb1884]

Your editing is very good for such a small channel. I also really appreciate you putting the game names in the corner for the clips

[@Shadare]

8.88k! I think I might start my own channel. I've been thinking about it, but that slog to 10k seems so steep! Thanks for making it look easy for a change. I realize now that the internet is still new, and 1 data point can still swing things considerably, despite the apparent flood of BS we currently experience.

[@salehamini2036]

Its not that developers got lazy, first of all devs have literally no power in game studios anymore. The genre and ... of a game is picked by marketing and executives. Releasing the game is also done by marketing and executives, we know about almost all bugs you experience in game. It's just that we focus on bugs that format your entire pc and crash the game rather than a character glitching or t posing. We, devs are more frustrated about state of games than you, players. But unfortunately we can't do anything about it. Jason Schreier have a new book that will release soon which explain how things worked in Blizzard, for example one of the executives come from a cheese factory and when devs told him they need time he simply said create another assembly line like how he did in cheese factory and double the output. To them just watching a slide show of image on screen = a functional game ready to release so gamers can give them billions of dollar. Also if you become an experience dev you're going to get fired because new guy can work for much cheaper.

[@mateuscaetano380]

I'm glad to see someone talking about this here. I liked the video in general but that part of the video didn't feel right, it reminded me of some people saying that the VFX studios working for Marvel are "lazy" because the CGI looks bad, when in fact what is happening is that the VFX artists are overworked and underpaid, trying to meet a ridiculously short deadline while fearing the very real possibility of being laid off.

Constructive tip, do you believe that the red bars around the thumbnail really need to be on the thumbnail? It's just that they (at least the bottom bar) can create the impression that it's a video I've already seen (the red bar when this happens is similar).

[@kaisokusekkendou1498]

I think there's two really great statements made in this video: 1. It's not that we don't want politics, we just want agency and not have one extreme point of view shoved in our face. 2. They'll keep making it if we keep buying it. We have to vote with our wallet. I hope more people can understand these fundamental things, and our entertainment industry can course correct.

[@sigil1234]

You've hit on everything I've been feeling about games for a while now. A lot of the unfinished games are because the Shareholders want their money now and they push the developers to get the game out as soon as possible to fatten their wallets. They don't care what state it's in. Most of the time you're basically buying into the equivalent of the Early Access version of a AAA game and these Shareholders know that their consumers will buy into that. Early Access is more for Indie Developers so they can get the funds and the feedback to help create their games. AAA Companies already have the funds they need. AAA companies have no excuse for putting out buggy half-baked messes. They have the funds and they have the developers, or well they used to have good developers, to create a game and ship it in a stable form. As I've said before, the AAA companies have been around so long and have grown too big so they have lost touch with reality and their consumer base. They can't handle criticism anymore because they've hired all these thin-skinned activists to cater and pander to a minority of the gaming consumer base. Because the Shareholders are so detached from their consumers they can't understand why their consumers are upset with their developers becoming heavy handed with their agendas instead of writing great narratives and fantastical stories. Indie games are doing so well because they are games created by small groups of gamers who were looking for something that hasn't been played yet. Game Designers for AAA companies used to be avid gamers too and loved what they are doing. Now it's just Paycheck to Paycheck and just another job for current AAA Devs. It's a stressful slog for them now. With time-windows and number crunches. AAA = In for the Money (EA, CAPCOM, UBISOFT, NINTENDO, ACTIVISION, etc) Indie Developers = In for the fun and enjoyment, and their consumer bases. (Stardew Valley's ConcernedApe, Palworld/Creativerse's Pocket Pair, HumanitZ's YoDubzz Studios) I think Game Companies have a shelf life and most of the AAA companies now have reached theirs. They are no longer True Game Developers and have regressed into Greedy Corporations in search for the almighty dollar. Not only do I believe they have a shelf like but they also have a size limit. If they grow to be too large of a company they lose a lot of creativity and care for their games because the consumers are no longer a priority for them. Their consumers take a backseat to their shareholders. Their egos have grown so large that they think we need them, but it is the other way around. Without us they don't get paid. Greed kills and Ubisoft is a prime example of this right now. Activision and Bethesda were almost in the same boat until they were bought out by Microsoft. And they still aren't doing so hot. I remember when the Big 3 B's, Blizzard, Bethesda, and Bioware, were great once. Now they are awful greedy shadows of what they used to be. To be fair, Bethesda stuff was always a buggy mess, lol. Sorry for the novel. Just this all hit so hard, right on point. I just hope everything happening right now is opening a lot of people's eyes and the message gets across to these greedy corporations that their consumers have had enough. Before things get even worse. I've wondered for a long time now that how long it was going to take for gamers to finally get fed up with all these shitty business models and lash out.

[@Ferox63]

Only two videos and both are massive W's. Congrats! Hope the algorithm spreads your channel far and wide, this message needs to be echoed across the industry.

[@gzmarsupil]

Good video, too. I just think your first video had more focus, because you provided a distinct view of the "casual gamer", which I think was nice. In this second video you are talking about the problems in the industry more broadly, which we have already 100s of other creators doing. So for me it would be great if you could keep the focus on your "casual gamer" view, which helps yourself to distinguish from other channels. I wish you much success! :D

[@chilledog]

I hope this gets the traction it deserves! You really detail the plight of modern gaming well!

[@JamesMBC]

Yes, my thought exactly! Especially how well thought and reasonable the commentary is. No hyperbole, no distracting with toddler "high-energy vibes", no padding. Just chill and thoughtful content from someone who clearly loves gaming.

[@Exxy6965]

May I suggest you a topic? Games that were loved and well-received by fans but were discontinued/studios disbanded. I'm talking about Hi-Fi Rush and Days Gone situation, for example. These are bizarre and I still struggle to understand why this happened. They sold a lot of copies (HiFi Rush won best audio design at GOTY awards) and corpos still didn't find the need to continue. Meanwhile, Sony spent 400mil on Concord, and we all know how that ended.

[@Amrai]

Not sure of the validity of this rumour (can't even remember where I heard it), but apparently the Hi-Fi devs were told to make a live service game, and they refused. So they were shut down. On a happier note, they got bought by PUBG's KRAFTON, so they're not dead. I'm sure there's more stories like this that need to be told, it would be a great video!

[@MrTomaat23]

@@Amrai And wasnt it the case for Days Gone that a Sony higher up said something like: If gamers wanted Days Gone 2 they should ve bought more copies. Like i don't think it was a flop, but it didnt earn enough for them. Similar for Kindom of Amalur: The Reckoning. It made a profit, but the team was disbanded because needed to make MOAR moneys!

[@PeteC1471]

​@MrTomaat23 it wasn't a higher up Sony person that said it as far as l know. Of course one could have repeated this remark. The gane's developer and director mentioned about it in an interview. He said he often gets asked why there wasn't a Days Gone 2? The conversation always goes along the lines of this. Why didn't you make Days Gone 2? I'm glad you liked it. Did you buy the game when it was released on day one? No l bought it in a sale. That's why there wasn't a Days Gone 2. Over time games will make money that cover the cost of the film or get the profits close to the estimated numbers. But companies aren't interested in eventually numbers. Had the game at launch hit the numbers TLOU, Ghost of Tsushima, Spider-Man hit there would have been a sequel. Microsoft are putting games on PS because the games will not make much on Xbox. Why pay $60 per game when you can play on Gamepass for a flat fee for ALL AAA games? Effectively the Gamepass subscribers are voting with their wallets and saying I won't pay these high prices. Yet they expect the very best of everything and same as what people that pay full price get. I want Days Gone 2, but will wait for it to be half price and cheap. Where is the incentive for Sony to make it?

[@tomraineofmagigor3499]

​@@MrTomaat23it's like how WOTC made changes after having 100% sales growth and telling their people "we want 100% sales growth every year" like dude your market is only so big. If you're making a profit then you're making a profit

[@KANL0907]

Now do a part 3 with companies enforcing ridiculous patenting claims that ruins creativity, destroys business startups, enforces monopoly and disappoints gamers by forcing legal and financial oppression on startup studios with games that are actually widely enjoyed(yes, Nintendo and Palworld; Take Two with GTA VI and the Nemesis system to name a few of these as examples).

Hell yeah dude. I'm here for it. The corporate model doesn't mix well with making a great game. Not because of pressure, but because of corporate minded folks. You cant be a classic HR model of a human and make great games.

[@JamesMBC]

Last comment, I promise: Metal Gear Solid is an example of a game series deeply entwined with political themes done right. In fact, the deep political themes are one of it's special ingredients, because it doesn't force those views on the player, it tackles politics in a non-preachy way, and Focuses on geopolitics. When we players say we don't like politics in games, for the most part, that's not what ewe mean. We mean we don't want dumb culture war themes in our games. Culture war is to politics what olives are to pizza: insignificant waste that most don't care about, but somehow never goes away.

[@1Adrix1]

I'd love to stop supporting all those publishers who force their studios to puke out games riddled with the array of issues you mentioned in your video, and I'm doing it - for the most part. There are still occasional AA or AAA studios that somehow manage to pull through against all odds, surprisingly belonging to the likes of ATVI, EA or even Ubisoft. While I've almost entirely given up on Ubisoft by now, I'll be still supporting the German studio Blue Byte with their Anno games, which so far have been consinstently phenomenal. I think these city building games are mostly unscathed, because the main target audience are dedicated PC players rather than the broad casual crowd targeted by Assassin's Creed, CoD, sports games etc. And yes, guys, please actively look for Indie games and support their developers! There has definitely been a surge of absolutely fantastic releases over the past couple of years.

[@JamesMBC]

Nice work, I believe the way you decided to start your first video was critical on the promising and potencial success you can achieve. You made us, the viewers, feel related. We can all agree that making the public feel represented is crucial when it comes to reach more and more people with your product, whether it's a youtube video or a videogame. And it's kind of funny, or paradoxical if you like, that this is one of the many problems AAA games are having, but nevertheless, a big one. We can't feel empathy for games that are pushing political agendas down our throats, and much less feel sorry for the people responsible for such crappy games. We can, however, feel empathy for a guy who has a full time job, a family, and tries to squeeze his loving hobby into his life. Cheers and good luck, please continue to make content that gives voice to what many of us feel, we will be here to support you. We got you.

[@Nwolf5555]

To be fair to AAA devs on the buggy messes they release, they do lack qualified devs. Dice for example lost key people, after Battlefield V they apperantly had no one that understood the Frost engine properly left on staff (leading to the mess of the next game) and this is not isolated to Dice/EA. Ubisoft is appearntly in a similar situation, they have driven out the old school talent and are now having to outsource critical parts of their games to get them made. These companies are hollowed husks of what they used to be. Blizzard, Dice, Ubisoft and more are already walking corpses attempting to create products that appeal to the culture that they created internally and lacking the talent and vision to innovate or appeal to the mass market.

I had a conversation with someone i worked with recently about a game series I was super passionate about that I got a half sleeve tattoo dedicated to it. They asked me if i was going to buy the next game since ive bought every main game since the first one in 2007. I said with a deep sigh i said that i had no trust in the company that makes the games i once loved as a teen which is why i will not support them anymore. Like another game series that i started playing at a very young age in 1999, that does not invest the insane amount of money that they earn back into their games. Trust in the product has fallen so low that die hard fans no longer want part of something that gave them so much joy. (the games were AC and Pokemon Gold)
