You're not. I'm literally hearing about this kid right now and I'm a gamedev. Not even remotely on the radar.LOL, I just feel old and out of touch now
Yong Yeas take on Elite Dangerous Odyssey (Not Good)
- Thread starter GoryDamnPixie
- Start date
Bethesda sent him a gift box, he trashed their game anyway.
I like him already.
I must confess that i've never heard of them, most streamers etc just annoy me no end so excuse my ignorance.
You do hear of a few, and streamers are actually a great way to get the word out about your title. Like they're kind of the new age radio jocks sorta kinda but way more ephemeral. I just have never heard of this one.

He isn't really a streamer. Mostly just YouTube. He focuses mainly on the shady practices game companies pull.
I mean, that's very human. So yes. I like it better when others people agree with me, than when they disagree.A lot of you guys just like to hear your opinions repeated back to you to feel good.
Also, we don't have gladiator fights anymore, and we need our bread and circus. At least nobody die anymore.
Yong has been around long before you were a gamedev. If you've heard of MGS1 then you've heard of Yong.
He's going to have a lot of content to work through in this era!
EDIT: No way jose, biscuit's post was as I was making mine but nuh uh, no way, false.

Well... I'm think I'm definitely old.... considering I've been playing PC games since the 80s
I guess I could ask my kids how out of touch I am lol
Honestly - that guy was boring.... I'd rather watch that guy Yamiks rage - that's at least entertaining.
Garbage? It's a great way to aggregate the information. He's the reason I knew about EA's disgusting "surprise mechanics" debacle
This industry is becoming increasingly predatory and anti-consumer. At least he brings the info to people.
Another moron on You Tube with some "opinions" . I couldn't care less . Maybe the next one will be AngryJoe ! .
Seems like people with complaints looking for confirmation wherever you can find it . I spent the evening running larceny missions , collecting materials , shooting pirates , cashing in , all at min 50fps with no issues or bugs encountered

Remember, it's garbage when the content creator disagree with you.
It's a good creator when he agrees.
That's how you can recognize them.
It's very funny, because before Odyssey, when yamicks was refused a copy of the game, a lot of people where like "good riddance, he is a [insert expletive]". But now that the majority seems to be angry or disappointed, people are linking his videos and saying how right he is.
Weird, huh ?
What's actually telling is the Youtube comments.
Some examples:
That's the top 3.
See any screaming or gamers being entitled? Or just well-reasoned disappointment?
It's the latter. Because again, the entire fairy tale of "haters" and "entitled gamers" was invented by gaming companies to stifle criticisms against them.
But yeah, sure Yong Yea is a clickbait Youtuber and the Youtubers trying to mock people for complaining about Odyssey aren't. Seems to me they're just calling Yong Yea a clickbaiter because they're jealous of his success and the fact he actually taps into what normal people think like.
Putting the defense of a broken game above the pain of actual people is not normal, no matter how much they insist otherwise. It's actually very perverse thinking.
Oh! Oh! I know that one!
LOL what do you dev? This guy is well known as a critic of franchises that use gambling mechanics - especially of low PEGI publishers like EA. You ought to look through is history of postings.
1.6 mill subscribers.. he's got influence.
Nevert heard of him. He must be big. Who watches boob tube anyways?
