“He hit the social media lottery”. no, he started very early before his type of content was common. back then youtube wasn’t over saturated with gaming channels the way it is now so he got ahead in views and subs. helps that he had a loud obnoxious persona, but being a youtuber is work. i tried to start a channel a…

As a film and TV editor, I disagree. I disagree so fucking severely. PewDiePie is supremely talented.

You haven’t watched him for a long time, if at all, have you? You seem to radically misunderstand what has made PewDiePie so incredibly popular and how well he managed (and still manages, I guess) himself and his channel.

I don’t watch PewDiePie, it’s not my kind of content. But to take joy in him removing his channel, even though millions of people enjoy his content, doesn’t make sense to me. No one’s forcing you to watch his content.

Ah yes, the old hate on PewDiePie bandwagon. You know I don’t care for his videos, or the way he presents himself and I don’t watch him but...

So...is he breaking some sort of contractual agreement, or did they agree to do it for the $10 a video? Because it sounds like the latter...in which case, they should probably have just not accepted the job.

If you feel you’re worth more, ask more, don’t accept it and then whine later.

Did someone force him to do the work for 15 bucks? Why agree to it?

So he took the extremely meager payments hoping the collaboration would make up for it? It sounds like part of the problem is that these kids dont understanding the value of work.

I don’t get it: if you’re a freelance editor and you’re offered a job that doesn’t pay enough, you turn it down. How is it the fault of the customer (LostNUnbound) if he’s soliciting services at a particular rate and you agree to it?

The editors don’t have to take the job right? I mean, if they’re not happy with what they’re getting for their work, then don’t do it. What am I missing here?

Ok, is there something I’m missing here? Do people just do the work and then ask “Ok, here’s your edit. How much will you pay me?”. Either that or they are dumb for accepting the terms and then whining about it afterwards. Idiots either way.

Weird. I thought these big YouTube stars did their own editing - it’s not as if it’s some baffling process that’s unrelated to their profession, such as it is. You’d think someone who spends all that time playing video games could learn some basic Premiere and After Effects, if only so he isn’t reliant on others to…

I will give it another try, played it on beta but felt a bit slow paced, I play a lot of Heroes of the storm thou...

that’s IMO because HoTS is far more action oriented than a traditional MOBA.

I played this for a week between games/before my summer vacation and it was the right amount of time, at the time, to see it was a decent game held back by weird design decisions.

Actually, yeah - Google Earth VR is the single best thing I’ve ever done in VR. Travel the world as a Kaiju-sized tourist. Feels like the tip of a very cool iceberg.

Bottom line for me is I refuse to support PC games/systems that lock themselves to a specific peripheral.

Got to try out the Vive and Rift (with controllers) extensively before purchasing and I’ve got to say I disagree with the article, the Vive remains better for me. There’s inevitably going to be many more games for the Vive, their general business practices are better, and there’s less cabling to deal with in general.
Th…

Plus I heard you can run occulus games fine with vive using an app. If that’s the case then vive all the way.

OR’s walled-garden and heavy-handed DRM approach has turned me off to their product. Valve wants cross-compatibility and an open market, while Oculus wants to lock their product and games down to their proprietary format. In the VR wars, Oculus/Facebook would be Nvidia or Apple.
