Hurt Feelings

[Flint2025]

So I wake up to gaming beaver, best in slot, evolution Square, and swerve all posting videos showing the entire game! Campaign, chaos mode, all species... they've seen it all. Now I don't mind them getting early access, I also understand them being under an nda so they can't speak about it until now. But all of these people have been making "Speculation" videos pretending to guess what will be in the game or a particular chaos theory mode. That crap is dishonest. They already know everything and they're lying about not knowing. It's one thing to know and not say it's another thing to make view grabbing videos about false theories that you already know 100% are false. Anyone else's feelings hurt over this? I don't feel like I can trust these people to be honest anymore. It isn't frontiers fault. They all decided to make Speculation videos on their own I'm guessing unless frontier paid them to do it. Blame for future mistrust still falls on them and not frontier to me though.

What do yall think am I freaking out for nothing or are u upset too that these YouTubers would pretend not to know what's in the game to make Speculation videos for views?

Example: ITS MEGALODON FIN IN THE GAME. When they know its not in the game they've played it. But they milked that bunk they created for a week for views. Very shady to me

I tell you know something any sane human knows these YouTubers would say anything for money. They simply clickbait to cause traffic on their channel. Doesn’t matter what they know or not its for making money. They dont care about you. They care….til they become big enough to not have to care. Evo lied about the reason she put down the french leak info video pretty badly imo she must think her auddience are 4 year olds or something. You dont bite the hand that feeds you. Frontier simply didnt want early spoilers out there. Dont know why she couldnt say that upright.

I know they want views and money... but they hurt themselves with this. They could have all waited till Tuesday and pretended to just get access to the game. Instead they jumped the gun, frontier prob encouraged them to to promote the game for them since frontier isn't doing much promotion themselves. But now we all see they've been lying to make click bait. Bad move for all of them in my opinion.

Whos first gets more views it is what it is. They can lie what they want. I only use youtube to get quick information. I have not even a google account so yea lol.

I think you are making a bigger deal out of than it really is. Everyone knew they would have access before everyone else. Same thing happened with the first game.Yes they click bait. Though I didn't see Best In Slot doing this much. I also don't think they have had access to the game as long as you seem to think they have. They probably got access around November 1st or 2nd. So some of the speculation videos were genuine speculation. You have to keep in mind that these people don't have regular jobs. YouTube is their job. It's how they make money and support themselves. So they have more time than a normal person to play video games. Meaning it won't take them that long to get that far into a game.

If you don't like the click bait the best thing you can do is not click on them. That's about all you can do cause your ability to actually stop it is nonexistent. YouTubers play to the YouTube algorithm and the algorithm loves click bait. Everyone does it. I subscribed to right leaning political channels on Youtube that constantly click bait and are telling me the world is is going to end cause of something or other. I just ignore them or unsubscribe. Also don't give them down votes or thumbs down on YouTube cause that basically doesn't do anything anymore. In the early days of YouTube you could down vote a video into obscurity. That doesn't happen anymore. It's all counted as an interaction and only helps them and doesn't hurt them. Don't like a video? The best thing you can do is do nothing. Just walk away.

That's why I hate youtubers, ugh, can't stand them spoiled kids.

gaming beaver said in one of his videos today he had played it for about 30 hours.
So I don't think they have their hands on the game for quite a long time. Maybe a week?
And most of the speculation videos came out much earlier or not?
Sure the youtubers want to make money cause its part of their income.
And they had to sign a non-disclosure agreement, where universal is involved. If one of them had said something wrong, this person will never be happy again, if you understand what i mean

And that is why I don't watch people for gaming news.

 

[David€94]

Most youtuber dont even enjoy the games they play its a job lol you think its fun to get the games a week prior and has to play through forcing yourself! just so you can show it off for clicks? Bis alone made 4 videos just today. I like him most of the bunch if i would have to pick one while his commentary is clearly targeting young auddience but thats what it is with dino games. I would have been no different if this would have been a thing when i was that age

but reviewer are even more terrible especially this time of the year forced to play so many games just to push out s review you dont even care about. Reviewers are a joke and often bought with goodies. Trust people who put in serious hours not just 5 and writing a quick review everybody can do that. Yet ign has what over 10 million subs insane while being only a marketing machine with no substance at all.

You say this as if they've had access all along through everything they've made in the last month or two. However, if they got it a week early and had to keep mum the last few days, then none of their access correlates to Megalodon theories or the other major speculation stories from the past few months.

I could have tell you right from the beginning there is no mega shark in it why would it be? Its JW. Unless Dominion has none the game wont either. They could make the food shark an living animal as its already modeled, a great white is cute too

This thread is closed. Discussing the game is fine but discussing people in this way, isn't!
