So why the need for a video then?
Are you suggesting he is the only person who is critical of Elite? Some of the people who have been listed as content creators over the last couple of years have been very critical of the game and the company.
It really isn't. They could ban him from the game. They could strike all his videos on YT for publishing without permission, they could do loads. Not giving him something he can buy, is not censorship. He's going to get Odyssey, he's going to make videos about it. You can bet on that. So he's not been censored at all.
His vulgarity is appealing to some and not others. I know alot of people who would much rather listen to Y than OA. I don't think Fdev telling him he's not a core content creator was appropriate if they were trying to distance themselves from his vulgarity.
Agreed. I'll give you that. I couldn't think of anyone relevant to compare.
now you did it. we just hit peak peak pointless!Shouldn't that be peak pointlessness?
If I want to find out new stuff about the game I usually come here first, that is true.
They would name a game show after this thread but it appears someone beat them to it.
What proof would you like exactly? I didn't video record it.
So why the need for a video then?
Isn't that a bit far fetched considering the alpha keys can be bought with money?
No. He's just the leading critic. I became a fan of him during the fleet carrier debacle. When fdev dropped fleet carrier upkeep from 150M a week to 25 every content creator was happy and praising fdev about it except him. I didn't want upkeep at all. 0. I called it for what it was, a manipulation tactic and he was the only youtuber saying that despite the fact that the forums were on fire about it.
not all, now and then, not at all lately. i do not share much of his criticism but criticism and vulgarity is not automatically abuse. personally i'd say who want to view that as abuse is someone who loves to live offended if you know what i mean.
I don't know. As console player I just don't want another knife in my back like FDev did with delayed release on consoles. I had no any negative opinion until that announcement, but that just broke something in me. I guess trust its name.
It's his delivery and how he apparently confronted and angered devs in person that's the problem. Angry Joe used to rant and rave at lousy games and lousy game launches but somehow his delivery back then didn't come off as insulting but genuinely critical for criticism's sake, not just for cheap laughs and a higher view count.
Whilst playing the game (not counting the 8pm server bounce) in between bits you watch videos about the game? Boy you love this game.
I'm teasing of course because I'm on the forum during all those times. I get what you're saying and if I wanted to watch a video about the game I guess I would be more likely to watch one of his, as you later point out, he is more succinct with the information. not really proof ... a convincing abstract of the offenses, possibly with some linked material. i can't simply label someone as an abuser because someone says "he is, i saw it" without further detail. for context, thistle pointed at his youtube material: i have seen no abuse there, criteria is apparently not universal, and when it comes to shut out a person, these details are really important.
indeed and you're welcome to share it. but to me your post looks very much like "blame and shame" aggravated by the blame not being substantiated, and used to promote the disqualification of a person's position in a discussion. ad-hominem rings a bell? in short: you don't care because you don't like him, so screw him. it really doesn't get more toxic and i would expect otherwise from a moderator.
