If I remember, he was also one of the many folks in the gaming media swearing the PSP would kick the DS’s ass and with the loss of portables, Nintendo would exit the console market.

Surprised he did this well. For individual stocks Mr. Pachter is terrible. Per tipranks.com he is rated 4,041 out of 4,290 analysts with a 45% success rate and average return of -3.9%. Of his more notable failures has been a sell rating on Netflix for the past four or so years while Netflix was gone up over 300%. …

Its been an overall terrible year. Even Pachter predictions are coming true. It’s the end times.

Michael Pachter is a hack and can we stop pretending otherwise. The only things the guy is even sometimes right about is the stuff that anyone who pays attention to the industry for 5 minutes could figure out. Even then, this is the guy who thought the Vita would stomp the 3DS and that the previous generation of…

I would say that most of these “predictions” were mostly...Well, predictable. You could have asked just about anyone with knowledge of the game industry these questions and received similar if not identical answers. Pachter’s job drives me crazy.

SCORCHING TAKE BRO

The fans have no-one to blame but themselves. It’s obvious they shouldn’t be making these games but somehow they think they won’t be shutdown.

No need for scare quotes, it’s quite clearly infringement.

shame on nintendo for protecting their IPs!

That’s a horrible counterpoint

Someone really needs to sit down all the professional e-sports players and the people running these tournaments and explain to them that this isn’t professional wrestling and they’re not actors in spandex and makeup and they need to use their real fucking names if they want to be taken seriously already.

Right, just like the masterpiece of Brink.

My theory was always that it is Setzer’s lady friend who flew the second airship in FFVI.

Effective yet shitty way to get more subs. I have 0 respect for this guy even before this stunt and it isn’t improving. I just find him annoying.

Can we please stop paying attention to this guy now? He literally lied to you and manipulated the gaming media for a week for his own benefit. You don’t have to write about him or his moronic band of followers ever again. Just ignore him.

If all mobile games cost $2.99 - $9.99 mobile games might actually be fun, and, you know, games, instead of completely random bullshit time and money sinks.

This should work for your needs.

Why is this obvious publicity stunt getting so much attention? There are billionaires who have pledged to give away their lifetime fortune to charity without asking for anything in return.

Not really. He hit the social media lottery. There’s nothing remarkable or talented about him, but for some reason the planets alligned and tons of 5-12 year olds latched on to him. His content isn’t impressive in the slightest.

This is what constitutes as “news” these days.
