Play Metroid:
A lotta folks are wondering why Nintendo fans are making such a big deal about Metroid Dread. If you've never played a Metroid game, check out 1994's Super Metroid. It's still considered one of the best games ever made, and it's free to play on NSO. Give it a try.

Just for some background on this situation:
GigaBoots originally claimed that DYKG outright stole their footage, despite the GigaBoots footage being clearly credited in the DYKG video. This claim of theft came after a 2018 DYKG episode covering Bootleg Games, which used 20-30
It’s okay, I’m sure they’ll say something about kotaku “wouldn’t be sustainable otherwise” and you’d calm down as much as you expected others to when you use their footage without permission.

Not that I’m making fun of this fella, but his comment on our new Pokémon video did make me laugh a little. I guess he thinks DYKG is a quiz show, and feels like us mentioning info that wasn’t presented in-game is basically us cheating. Sorry mate, never thought of it that way 😅

Below: why DYKG videos usually quote developers as narrated text. YouTube comments ask this same question almost once a day.
I get variations of this question a lot. Basically people annoyed that in videos I write, most interviewees' quotes are read aloud by the narrator rather than letting the raw video play of the interviewee talking themselves. This is why, and sources have always been cool with it.
