CA has once again blacklisted Legend of Total War

[meowbeast]

I'm sure it has nothing to do with any recent events.

He’s not blacklisted, he’s just being overdramatic

He does that sometimes. However, CA is a clown company at this point. CA higher ups are going out online looking for criticism then instructing all their employees to disassociate with a content creator. This is beyond cringe.

Worse cringe is that they issued the copyright strike against Volound at all. Given his nature, all they did was give him easy content.

He literally ranted one morning during WH 3 release, and not only said he didn't want to play it until maybe IE.

It's clear he said something and CA got mad, can't remember. He got a talking to, and was in a miserable mood clearly because of this,

He said "he didn't need CA", and "don't even want early accesses". Said he wasn't even going to use it next time, blah blah.

He was complaining about the game being buggy over bugs you had to break the game in the first place to get them. I think it was something like that, can't remember but it was because he "bordered" on the NDA too closely.

So by his own words...he doesn't need them. So why would he even care?

EDIT: oh, IIRC he even said he would reveal something from the NDA and didnt care what happened too.

He cares that he was "blacklisted" because it's his business model to be upset about something and telling his viewers to be upset about something. This is him trying to generate a controversy. He makes money by making videos criticizing Creative Assembly for outrage views and clicks. That's how his entire channel works, it lives on stoking controversy for subs and views.

I don't know whether or not the things he says are his honest opinion, but if they are he spends all his time playing games he professes to hate and the only reason to do that is popularity and cash. Like an honest game critic would play a new game they didn't like a few times and give a review and move on to something else. Legend just keeps playing and complaining about Total War. That's his whole schtick.

If they aren't his opinions, he is even more dishonest.

Either way, he's monetizing outrage and it makes him primarily a toxic presence for the community. From CA's perspective, there is no benefit to partnering with him in any way.

yeah, deserves his own doings. I will say recently he has cooled it, probably because reality of his finances hit him.

Bright guy, just amal retentive. A fussy, person who enjoys being fussy. It's their personality.


Now Vol, Terminator, and a few other are pure garbage.
They are only intent on this side hustle. There is literally no video of substance that I have seen or been offered to see by Youtube. Any YouTube Thumb for their vids are pure speculation, what if, and drama. I hope they at least stream matches at some point.

Sad thing is, now ALL the creators are needing to milk every little thing. Sotek is just comical with this, at least Book is legit is in love with Warhammer and realized he needed to expand to table top.

It's pathetic, and yes. People can be absolutely pathetic in the quest for money even if they get a good wad.

only real og's where Price of Macedon, Heir of Carthage. Plenty of people played, but these cats put hours upon hours of MP matches.

Nothing like watching an Empire TW match. Still the best MP matches to watch, most strategic and tactical.

Volound has a history of lying through his teeth. There's no proof he was struck at all, let alone by CA.

Not surprised to be honest. The fact is LOTW is simply too honest for CA to be partnered with them.

I need to point out the only evidence of CA copyright striking comes from V. The scum of the total war community. I find it easy to believe he made the whole thing up.

Yeah, right, making false claims about youtube on youtube, go figure where that leads.

Did you watch Volound vid or tell it's fake out of your arse?
And why would Legend be involved, he just told about it?

Well, I'm not going to defend his honesty, but CA isn't a paragon of honesty either. CA management making another bad decision wouldn't surprise me any more than Volound being dishonest.

Sigh.

Guy makes company lose hudrends of thousands USD.

Well first of all, so what? The company is not our friend.

Second, HOW? There are no illegal activities or specific lies that anyone can point to. He's just stating his opinion. Which, last I checked, is perfectly within our rights under democratic rule.

Messaggio originale di DecayWolf:

Company tries to make said person to stop.

With lies and underhanded methods. Rather than engaging in conversation, or addressing criticism they are trying to silence speech.

Messaggio originale di DecayWolf:

Random person gets pikachu shocked face, because the company had the audacity to try to protect itself.

The good way to protect themselves is by making better products and engaging positively with their fans. And not creating anti-fans to begin with. Their method of defense is not within the acceptable rules of engagement. There are lines that shouldn't be crossed.

Messaggio originale di DecayWolf:

Also btw, your shiny revolutinary hero, was getting paid by ads, through views.
So for personal gain, he attacked a company revenue. But that's clearly ok.

We need critics and investigative journalists for capitalism to work. If there is only monetary interest in protecting corporations and the powerful, if critics only see punishment and no reward do you think that would lead to an "ideal world"? It would be dystopia.

Companies pay taxes, which in return is used for road maintanence, infrastructure building, education, medication, security, sovereign defences, etc.
They also create jobs, invest in technology, have a chain of partners which also pay their own taxes and hire their own employees, and they take loans from banks, which in return also loan for other start ups, which generate jobs and pay taxes.

Companies is the backbone of any wealth country, they're the pillar of stability. The wealthier a country is, easier the life will be, as money does make life easier.
If one has time to think about any of this, you have companies to be thank for.
So yeah, companies, in general, they are your friends. At least they do more for you, than you can ever imagine.

Oh and not to mention they provice some 'useless services' such as water, electricity, food... Because believe or not, they don't magically appear.
They also kinda, search for solutions about how to invent new stuff that will make the life better, or make what already exist better and cheaper. But whom cares?

Meanwhile we have youtubers which most often releases useless content and are cloud chase for views. Some may even call them parasites. I mean some of them, not all.
Their only contribution for society is spreading what they do not now, and content that makes the dumb, dumber. (again not every youtuber)

Besides, if one attacks your own personal capital, you have all the right in the world to retaliate. Let me put this way, would you be willing to give away every possession that you have? No? Instead would you try to defend what's yours? Oh really? Then why others can't do the same?

Look, be thankful of the bullies of the past, such as JP morgan, carnegie, rockfeller, etc.
These guys for todays standards were absolutely savage beasts, and you have to pray to them every single night and day, for the easy life that you have. They helped to build USA into the super power that it's today. And in return USA helped Europe to rebuilt itself after WW2.

As for the journalist bs and all that. Youtubers want views/money, your beutiful argument is nothing but a dream. That's not how the real world works.

But anyways, I am really not enganged on this level of dreaming cringe.
Let's sum up with the following principle then.
If a random guy wants to make a buck out a company revenue expenses, then it's totally ok. Then let's push one step further and just kill said company, because by killing it, it will greatly improve the outcome of anything it releases, because after dying, it will produce so much more. Right? I am done.

[chronoss2008]

They actually do everything in their power to NOT pay taxes, they heat the system. Use mechanics meant for smaller business for themselves by using all kinds of random methods.

That is the problem, people are too outdated in their knowledge. this isn't the 1950's. Over the decade the wealthy and massive corps have done everything to deregulate them self.

A billionaire pays what someone making a few hundred thousand dollars does in taxes. If that for some reason feels untrue

....it's exactly why the world finds itself in this situation.

The morons forgot EQUITY!

Messaggio originale di Grumpy Old Guy:

I don't get the hate on the guy.
I've used some of his strategies and they tend to work pretty well.
He's a fairly skilled player.
Sure he cheeses a lot of stuff but his schtick is literally winning battles that look impossible.
Other than that he seems like a decent guy.

it's just CA shills or CA paid actors that bash him, that's all
Nobody hate him

Do not mistake personal capital to company's capital.

I don't know how taxes works in every single country, as each one has it's own laws.
As I understand USA may even have by estate. However, the tributary system should take their due, automatically from the company's revenue.

Personal capital is another completely different thing.

And no lol. Billionares doesn't pay the same as a random nobody.
While it's funny, I've to say... educate yourself.

I watched the video once, but I don't know enough about Hyenas to know whether the video was publicly available or not. YT denying the strike seems to point in a certain direction given their past willingness to protect copyright.
