I love how every time pirating comes up here, people justifying it come out of the woodwork. They are not demos, you aren’t taking a stand against the man for high prices, and it’s not ‘just like renting’. You are stealing, plain and simple, and without any real grey area. You are taking a product, tangible or not,…

Maybe they go down to the YouTube store and buy all the vidz.

There are 124.6 million households in America. There are 91 million subscribers of a streaming service. If they are not unique, that’s 73%. So, no, 91 million IS a majority. (But I understand what you’re saying, as my household alone subscribes to all three).

Good.....good for you? There are 30 million Netflix subscribers, 5-7 million Hulu members, and 54 million Prime subscribers. So, you’re in the minority, and many, many, MANY people stream on a daily basis. But, this is Microsoft, so fuck them, right?

Everyone streams gig per day on Hulu, Amazon, Netflix, etc: No big deal.

This game is the reason I will only be getting 5 hours of sleep tonight. Oh, and now I’m reading about the game on Kotaku. Thanks Obama!

That is the first video I’ve ever deliberately given a thumbs down. So, thanks?

I did the same thing, but the last act took about 45 minutes and left me extremely unfulfilled. Just like ever other Obsidian game ever...

Please clap.

Hyperbole: you’re using it.

You won. You won an argument that you created, changed, and repeated pointless shit ad nauseum. Its like debating with Donald Fucking Trump. Congratulations. Your cookie is in the mail, kiddo.

Holy. Fucking. Shit.

So, uh, don’t know where to go here because you seem unable to grasp anything I’m actually saying. Nowhere in my replies have I said anything about ‘learn something from game journalism’. At all; not even a little bit. But, you know, maybe if you tried reading something instead of getting all your news from videos you…

Wow. WOW.

And you keep feeding into the ads and talentless hacks on YouTube. Are you talking about game previews? Gameplay videos? Because, yes, those need video. An article like this needs actual words and meaty content. The aforementioned forums and tech support need to be cited and linked. This isn’t some terrible…

The fact is, the vast majority of people prefer to read instead of watching a cleavage laden woman or some neckbeard take 5 minutes to say what we can read in 30 seconds, but they can sell an additional add for a video. That’s all it is: money. With a video, not only to they get the click to the article, but they get…

Just because you put in a hyperlink does not make it relevant. Mr. Klepek here researched how pirating was possibly hurting a new games sales. In his blurb, he mentioned that there were forums and tech support for these torrents, and a thriving community behind it. And then... he put it in a video. A video which many…

Obviously a gameplay snippet is better on video than described on paper, but something like this has no benefit to being on video. At all.

The thing that really grinds my gears is the main reason videos are done are for additional ad revenue. They get the revenue from your click on the article, then the revenue from you clicking on the video. It’s all money. It’s always money.

Nah. I will never get my news from shittily made YouTube videos and their ilk. Somebody somewhere will always be doing actually journalism rather than playing a character in a video with a terrible voice. And those people are the ones I will seek out to get my news. If Kotaku switches to a majorly video-based news…
