I got frustrated the other day because viewers were pouncing on creators for being sponsored by Established Titles despite those videos being made prior to the controversy being made public. It’s annoying to see the witch hunting that occurs when these things are exposed.
@OrdinaryGamers
Imagine trying to criticise one of the most charitable people on the internet for being selfish in making a series to raise funds for something. I swear: people will argue over anything these days.
The

video on the “wanna be friends?” stuff did genuinely make me laugh, so thanks for that. We needed some levity with this, I was way too overly serious in mine:

Yeah, I agree! I’ve seen some pretty harsh comments directed towards him, but I’m sure he’d speak out against this if he knew. You’d want to assume a commercial game is made ethically, not that they’re doing shady stuff in order to make the final product.
@Stealth40k
So many people gave the original a 10 out of 10, and agree the sequel is better in every single way but it can’t score any higher than another 10. Review scores are busted, but I’m massively excited for the game to come out!
@JayExci
Since the entire altercation you had with him, I’ve seen more and more I dislike and despise about him and the way he operates. I feel like he’s in a situation where he’s too famous for controversy to ever affect his success, I hope I’m wrong though.
@OrdinaryGamers
I’m kinda of captivating by how distorted a lot of the shots look. It makes me feel like AI would be great for making surreal atmospheric or cosmic horror films. Where your eyes can tell something is wrong but can’t entirely tell why.
@OrdinaryGamers
A real shame. Vanguard could have been the best world war 2 shooter yet and fell flat. 2042 could have been the craziest battlefield game ever and was riddled with problems. This year could have been astounding.
@SuperNeoBlue
@OrdinaryGamers
Then the next-gen version gets pushed back a further 3 years only for them to add basically nothing to it, and load times somehow get increased from the base version.

@DrewAfualo
It’s important to realise that not every person with influence needs to use it to discuss deep issues. There’s just as much value in giving people a well-needed distraction from it. Most people come to these creators for levity, and leave the politics to those more qualified.
@OrdinaryGamers
I wish I could say this kind of behaviour is from an outliar. But in schools growing up in the UK, a huge part of our upbringing involved being as much of a menace to authority and members of the public, in return for social credit. So stuff like this doesn’t surprise me :/

Seth Rogen would inversely be absolutely livid about this, finally complaining about car break-ins instead of defending them.

Yakuza 0 is often cited as one of the best in your situation! Despite using familiar characters, it doesn’t mention any previous games so you can be introduced easily. Although if you’re a turn based fan, Like a Dragon would be a fantastic one to start with too!

Your argument is basically “they earn more money so they deserve to have some of that taken by me”. It’s okay for me to steal from a family run grocery shop because they’re earning more than I am. Doesn’t sound so good when the scale is diminished, does it?
@OrdinaryGamers
The showed off the visual effects too much in the trailer, because in-game they’re far more subtle and effective at what they’re doing. I admit I judged the game too much off the trailer, because so far the 10 hour trial has been fire.
@OrdinaryGamers
Destiny 2 is one of those few games where I can see people chatting shit about it without ever having played it and still 100% believe them. That’s the current respect that Bungie has for a lot of us at this point.

This reminds me of a situation a smaller creator called Reckless Ben is going through, where he’s tried to expose both a pyramid scheme and an active cult, but he’s had videos removed for supporting those very things. The system is so backwards right now…

@ConcernedApe
Developing for mobile can be incredibly difficult, especially for smaller companies or individuals. I know patience is difficult with such a great game, but unfortunately it’s the only option at the moment.

When me & my dad encountered this together we lost our shit. The game is finally like the initial trailer was after all this time. It’s stunning on PS5 right now.

“Grooming” is far more often associated with minors, however the term has always been applicable to anyone vulnerable or at risk.
For example: your boss at work or a celebrity you look up to can groom people, as a result of the power dynamic that exists.
Day 4 update: the Logan situation is finally getting exposure, and I’m sure will be resolved soon. I’ve never had so many messages before, I’m doing my best to work my way through them. Stay secure everyone.
#YoutubersAtRisk
The Godfall PS+ release is a shambles. Advertised as the definitive edition, but you have to buy the deluxe edition upgrade to unlock the actual game “the way it was meant to be played”. The game already sucks, why did they have to be stingy and offer a freemium version of it?
@OrdinaryGamers
So much potential just completely wasted. This would have been awesome, actually changed up the gameplay and given us a replayable mode besides the multiplayer :/ hope they at least do something else cool with their time.
@OrdinaryGamers
Main thing I can praise is that at least compared to laptops: it doesn’t radically affect performance when unplugged. Some games are just unplayable unplugged on laptop, but on the steam deck they run just as great as they always do. Even if it only lasts for like half an hour.
@OrdinaryGamers
That’s awful. I read the twitlonger, and have empathy for people who gradually make worse decisions due to addiction. It’s a horrible and dangerous pattern. But it’s not a shield for manipulation, deceit and crime. It didn’t address any of that, only sympathy farming instead.
@OrdinaryGamers
My dad works within the government in London so going to each building location and having him review the accuracy has been a fantastic experience. He’s gutted the London Underground isn’t a visible area though.

Somehow wasn’t expecting this to kick off again. It’s a shame how so many of the large react streamers just seem incapable of understanding the ethical issues with such content. This same argument seems to occur every few months :/
@TeosGame
My god these replies.. I really appreciate you taking a mature stance and responding to people cordially that simply states your stance and doesn’t escalate. That’s probably the best thing creators can do in response to this controversy.
@OrdinaryGamers
A shame to see handhelds still get dismissed as proper consoles. They’re so much easier for so many people with accessibility issues or difficulties in moving around, unable to keep a proper desktop or TV setup. The Deck really helped highlight the need for it!
Interesting. Either there’s some machine learning involved, or the bot is being manually operated at times. That would explain the personalised comments.

! Here’s a video to clear things up and discuss potentially rebranding and changing the awful name ‘Evanz111’:
For anyone investigating: please be careful if any of your information leads you to a name beginning with J. They’re only a kid, and it seems like they’re being set up as a scapegoat by the real person responsible. They’re involved, but unfairly so.
@OrdinaryGamers
Guy does the “if I could bring anyone back to life I’d choose you just so I could kill you again” thing for real. Love creative use of game mechanics like this <3
Hey
@KEEMSTAR
, if you’re ever interested in covering the “wanna be friends?” situation then I’d be down to clear some things up about it and answer any questions. I wasn’t expecting it to become this big this fast, so I should make sure the truth is separate from the rumours.
@TheJasmyPirate
@iamyesyouareno
It’s kinda ironic that most people’s depiction of Santa that they insist is ‘real’ was just the product of an unethical multi billion dollar corporation trying to sell drug-laced soda to people.
@OrdinaryGamers
I held off on Lost Judgement because I heard some criticisms from a few people I trust - however I recently picked it up on sale and holy heck it’s such a step up from Judgement. The studio has been on a streak recently, so I can’t way to play the remake of Isshin!
Woah, this response is incredible. I’m speechless really. I feel like tomorrow I’m going to be able to wake up and this entire nightmarish situation will be over and done with.

@OrdinaryGamers
I feel bad looking at the reviews for the classic version and just how happy people were to see this available. I know Rovio need to keep financially viable, but they’re hurting so many of their actual fans, not just the addicted kids who don’t know any better.
@JamesMarriottYT
@jaubreyYT
Glad to see some of my favourite creators on the same page here. This shit is just weird, and feels absolutely loaded with very weird implications and offensive messages. SunnyV2 genuinely caught me off guard with this one.
@OrdinaryGamers
Unfortunately it’s the response we see to many controversies like this. Deflection of your own wrongdoing by pointing to others and picking flaws in their arguments and points, as if that makes your negligence okay. Playground arguments.
Incredible news, and it couldn’t have come at a better time! I’m only a couple of subscribers away from 40k, and will have an exciting video coming out tomorrow :)
@OrdinaryGamers
I saw this exact same argument get brought up with emojis. Apparently it’s offensive unless you only use emojis that match your exact same skin colour. No idea who the yellow ones are supposed to be for then 🤷🏻♀️
@OrdinaryGamers
This feels like reading a sponsor ad script where the lawyers have told them specific terms and phrases that they need to mention. It’s a sad day.
That moment when the person you're trying to expose has their own bot comment on your video without realizing it. Anyway, time to take a break from this. Please DM me if you have any further info about this, anything would be helpful.
#YoutubersAtRisk
@Phemeto
No offense intended, but this guy has been making videos 7 years longer than you, and that commitment involves going through a lot of phases of YouTube where you have to make compromises to keep up. Insulting his videos when it’s something he’s worked so hard on isn’t fair.
Fantastic news: the first bunch of hacked channels have now been sent to YouTube’s recovery team. Keep an eye on your emails/DMs and you should have your channels back within a few days. Good luck!

I’m pretty sure you’d be unable to hear a logical argument from her when you’re too busy deafening yourself with transphobia and mental health discrimination. Keep living in that petty, hateful world, listening to yourself and people just as rude & ignorant forever. Sounds fun.
Here’s where I’m at with account recovery. I’m hitting a dead end no matter how much personal info I give. But! There are some lovely people speaking to YouTube on my behalf, so I’m trying not to worry about it.
The most important thing to state is to take everything I said in my video with a pinch of salt. Instead, listen to the upcoming videos from other more experienced creators. They’ll find out and share the truth.
#YoutubersAtRisk
It’s great to know there are people out there willing to go above and beyond to help. Hopefully we’ll be able to get my channel back from the hacker soon, fingers crossed! <3
@SeishiLuna55
I’m completely on Act Man’s side, but let’s not pretend that YouTube is a single entity that is responsible for all decisions they’ve made. They need to improve, sure, but whoever sided with Quantum TV is a single person who made a big mistake. I’m sure YouTube will fix it.
