Look, attempts of emotional manipulation, namely "why are you scared" intended to instill negative emotions in me, make me want to watch the video in question even less. Didn't think it was physically possible.

It's ok if you're afraid the video may teach you something you didn't want to know.

Oh no, I'm afraid?!11111 I better go hurry to launch it in 20 tabs on repeat.

Wow you guys are really showing your true self now. When the arguments run out you gotta resort to racism. That's low.... even lower than the sales numbers of your games.

When people tell you who they are believe them.
They go to such lengths to deal with the cope that their game is going to flop because the industry is rejecting them.

Why are you scared to watch the video that explains how the grift works? It literally walks you through how they create their content.

These guys sure have mastered their anti-marketing shtick. I'd like to know how many Avowed sales these two alone have prevented.
Keep on fighting guys, maybe we'll even go down to top 500

Speaking of: Where has this other discord gooner disappeared to?
Oh there he is haha!!!! Rentfree bro

Don't even need it to. The game will flop as it is now.
Shame that Obsidian had to go this way but maybe now they'll learn and give gamers what they want.

Ah, how to prove the anti-woke are "grifters"...by using a grifter...

This dude flip-flops all the time and will say constantly that he isn't a thing while CLEARLY being the thing he so desperately wants you to believe is isn't.

You people have no idea what a grifter actually is. You just heard so many people say it so now you follow like sheep. Are they cheating people out of money? no, so how are they grifters?

They are just making videos highlighting things they dislike and it just so happens to resonate with a lot of people at the same time.

I will say though, I am not a fan of SmashJT. I still haven't forgotten how much of a clown he was during the Intellivision Amico days.

Folks called Grummz a grifter because he literally scammed $600,000 out of backers for a game he's not going to finish but folks even got mad at that saying they were using the term wrong.

You won't even know who I am.
I sit here observing how y'all type, how y'all act, your beliefs, your fights, and I will mimic them down to the punctuation and slide on in to folks and just... do a little chaos.

The definition of Media Grifter is explained in the video. You should watch it before calling people sheep based on your reflexive assumptions.

No you can do whatever. Please continue. The more you want to give to steam support is just fine by me.

Grummz is a different matter. I wouldn't go as far as to call him a grifter just yet, but I have no issue with those calling him that. What he has shown of his "game" so far has been nothing short of laughable. Personally, if I was in others position, I would distance myself from him. There are too many question marks hanging over the guy.

Spend hundreds of thousands of dollars paying the marketing team to research and find the target audience of your game. Spend tens of thousands of dollars paying a consultant team to create a product free of controversy. Spend hundreds of thousands of dollars advertising your game. Get the entire triple A gaming apparatus and games journalists to write fluff pieces and promote your game. Then, a couple chud grifters on youtubers make some videos and the entire game fails. Explain how this makes sense.

Fake News.

Avowed hasn't failed it's not even launched yet and none of the games you celibate the failure of failed because of the anti-woke movement.

No one outside the anti-woke circle jerk had ever even heard of games like Dusborn and Concorn and Veilguard was the result of EA cancelling Dreadwolf to make an MMO then cancelling the MMO to churn out a sequel to Inquisition at the 11'th hour, so rushed the writers didn't even have time to proof read what they wrote before they were shipping it.

You think that flopped because "Go WoKe Go BrOkE" but that's not why, EA is why, EA did that all by themselves.

The silly thing with the 'it failed because woke' is that it's not even considered great by people who liked that they tried to put in a trans character:

You know one thing I noticed is that with how many of them claim to be media, none of them are actually reporting gaming news. Only drama.
Like has any of them actually reported on upcoming games? Consoles? Studios opening up? Remake rumors?
