video game celebrity.

I’ve never said that it was a bad game. Honestly I played the beta and wasn’t overwhelmed by it but I have looked at it on a few occasions since launch, particularly during sales.

Trust me, that has fuck all to do with this.

Thank you for correcting my mistake.

You do realize that Pewdiepie, like or not, is a video game celebrity

I’m with you on everything there apart from the ‘Pro gamers’, who I personally dislike and generally find to be only roughly one level above this twat.

Really? Dickhead pre-orders game, forgets and then moves to another country?

That is absolutely not restricted to YouTube, but have been happening around the world since time immemorial.

dude has brought a lot of young folks into the gaming fold. 

Ain’t that the fucking truth.

I put him on the same level as a Kim Kardashian.

How exactly has he shown that? By contributing to a craze that has seen games industry journalism plunge to aiming at the lowest common denominator? By screaming over a camera for profit and helping to create a system that takes advantage of game developers, and in particular indies? By helping to create a generation…

Not at all but it’s an online only game and its hemorrhaging players. If it is done right then F2P can work and right now this game needs all the help that it can get from what I can see.

I’m aware of that and that is why I’m trying to keep responses to this discussion to a minimum. I normally ignore any threads about YouTubers and especially this one when they show up on social flow because I know that responding to them is totally counter-productive.

And I would suggest returning to your study of the English language because your conjugation is well off the mark.

Who’d you like to see us cover more?

I despise all gaming YouTubers but I think there is a special spot in hell reserved for him. YouTube can be a great tool for education, collaboration and communication but unfortunately it can also be abused by those who somehow find ways to make a profit off no discernible talent or skill whatsoever.

Not really, I have no reason to be. I just have a very low tolerance for idiots.

Because he personifies the words puerile and scum. That’s why.

It is on sale at the moment but it is still overpriced IMHO.
