You forgot the yellow part in front of it. Right. And he was definitely trying to scare us into a war. Or were you referring to the fact that he's asian? I really don't think you want to be called out. Time to start backpedaling, here chief.

Yong is as much of a journalist as the likes of rush limbaugh in that way. People should be ignoring him for news He's not a journalist. He's like a magazine host. You ever watched one of those news magazines, in the morning? A bunch of people just sitting in front of a camera, doing talks etc. He's just making opinion pieces, not news reports. He's right, though, when talking about monetization and the gambling side of "GaaS". Or maybe you can disagree on that, too. Not all news that he's going to talk about are good news, not everything is going to be presented in a good light, in regards to things you or I like, but don't write off people completely. A differing opinion can result in a good conversation and something enlightening can come out of there. I just had a very insightful debate with colfoley the other day about a few tweets from John Epler and the rest of the DA4 gang, before realizing what was going on, after he pointed out something very relevant. The truth, as usual, rests somewhere in the middle.

Full disclaimer I don't think I've ever watched Young Yea specifically but his brand of shock oh-em-gee journalism I am seeing more and more of is really getting annoying. They have super DRAMATIC titles that encourage clicks, their vids are super long then either A. Engage in pure radicalization sensationalism to get clicks, B. Out and out lie to their viewer base, or C. Do poor research.

Yong, however, even for me, tends to overdraw his videos, talks really fucking slow sometimes, to the point of being annoying, but usually just offers his own criticisms and doubts, when offered controversial news, or outright slams negative practices in gaming, i.e. monetization, lootboxes, and general anti-consumer practices or anti-developer practices. Things that, I believe, anyone can get behind.

I just had a very insightful debate with colfoley the other day about a few tweets from John Epler and the rest of the DA4 gang, before realizing what was going on, after he pointed out something very relevant. The truth, as usual, rests somewhere in the middle. Normally id agree. Problem being is Yong is also wrong about the 'gambling' aspect from a legal sense, at least in terms of U.S law, and his analysis is unfounded on half-truths of the entire situation with the service model. He is basically a non-expert pretending to be one, and his opinions become dangerous when they are misinformed. Truth of the matter is this is the analysis I respect, from analysts in the field who point out the lucrative nature of the business model, and while it's following trends to some extent, is only really predatory in specific cases, not industry-wide for starters. We also need to face some facts that the entire model is too lucrative to give up for these companies because the costs of development are in direct parallel at times to reception and output. Not to mention folks are suddenly interesting in 'gambling' when it comes to the "Service" style of model that has been around since the 1980s. For example it was ok when Tabletop RPGs or Card Games did it because each book or expansion or set is a new edition or something like that. A collectible card game mentality to "get them all" and build a deck that can be competitive with artificial rarity thrown in. Yet what folks seem to not understand is it is a purposeful model to give value to items that have none inherently. Physical media that works well, digital not so much maybe, but considering how fucked up some markets like CSGO or Eve Online are...people still get around to that. That part is not even about fact or even opinion in so much as its an observation of behavior by people mind you. And we pretend that monetization is bad why? Financially speaking, it's either this or $100 games (which is already what they should be costing before DLC) flat fee to keep up with the rising costs. So yeah, I write him off completely because he's fundamentally not understanding the situation, hes instead preying upon irrational fear like many folk do. What makes it dangerous is not only does he find what he says factual, or at best, based on an informed opinion, people listen to those words when they shouldn't. I'm sorry, but not everyone is worthy of listening to. And I say that fully aware I know folks don't care to hear what I have to say about anything either. <iframe width="23.62000000000012" height="5.700000000000017" style="position: absolute; width: 23.62000000000012px; height: 5.700000000000017px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none;left: 15px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_66864858" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="23.62000000000012" height="5.700000000000017" style="position: absolute; width: 23.62px; height: 5.7px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1121px; top: -5px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_7047248" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="23.62000000000012" height="5.700000000000017" style="position: absolute; width: 23.62px; height: 5.7px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 15px; top: 224px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_31366907" scrolling="no"></iframe> <iframe width="23.62000000000012" height="5.700000000000017" style="position: absolute; width: 23.62px; height: 5.7px; z-index: -9999; border-style: none; left: 1121px; top: 224px;" id="MoatPxIOPT0_45917203" scrolling="no"></iframe>

Why doesn't this first sentence make sense to me?
Did you mean, their?
In other words,
Again, I'd go back to he's not a journalist. I really wish that people on this board would get that word out of their heads, especially when it comes to youtube stars. Besides all of this, he's says that it's his opinion.
I mean, I get it. But stop calling him something that he's not. Because he's not a journalist.

Something to add real quick. The U.S has been trying to introduce laws on the lootbox stuff, but frankly it's too slippery of a slope to really be taken seriously because we have a ton of companies who will point to EULA's and licence agreements to keep that at bay, since they need to prove it's gambling when the point of a gamble is to wager something for win/loss prize, at least in the classic definition. So I was a bit wrong on what I originally wrote. People are challenging it. They shouldn't though. That all said, one of my colleagues did write a piece on this. His thoughts are good, and while I basically fall along the lines of this being a parenting issue maybe there is something to it.

Problem being is Yong is also wrong about the 'gambling' aspect from a legal sense, at least in terms of U.S law, and his analysis is unfounded on half-truths of the entire situation with the service model. Well, which is why, with enough attention being brought to the problem, various states and countries are now bringing new legislation to regulate the "gambling" aspect of it. Which is a good thing for me, as in-game monetization often impacts my enjoyment of a video game, by prolonging progression behind the exaggeration of the repetition required for a certain task to be completed, in order to be able to advance or unlock in-game content, because the publisher, not the developer, wishes to promote the practice of charging extra to unlock the fun in a full priced game. I think this is unacceptable. I also think that the law should be changed to accommodate that, since the tired ado of "pay with your wallet" didn't work, as certain whales would sink hundreds of thousands of dollars, enabling this. Truth of the matter is this is the analysis I respect, from analysts in the field who point out the lucrative nature of the business model, and while it's following trends to some extent, is only really predatory in specific cases, not industry-wide for starters. We also need to face some facts that the entire model is too lucrative to give up for these companies because the costs of development are in direct parallel at times to reception and output. I'm sorry, but no matter the profits this ensures for the publisher, I cannot, in all earnest condone such a practice. Whether it is "only predatory in specific case" is like arguing that killing people is murder only in specific cases. Not to mention that legislation is already passing globally against lootboxes. China just banned lootboxes and violence in their video games. Source Also Belgium banned lootboxes, Netherlands is pushing it to make it an EU wide ban, as is Sweden. Not to mention folks are suddenly interesting in 'gambling' when it comes to the "Service" style of model that has been around since the 1980s. For example it was ok when Tabletop RPGs or Card Games did it because each book or expansion or set is a new edition or something like that But you can resell your Pokemon cards and your Magic Cards and older editions are all the more collectible. These are physical, tangible goods. Meanwhile, your FIFA 2018 progress becomes obsolete and loses all its value, as soon as FIFA 2019 rears its face. Not to mention reports linking EA's FIFA and its lootboxes to money laundering schemes and all sorts of illegal activities, just as deep as Bitcoins. And we pretend that monetization is bad why? When EA makes a billion dollars a year out of FIFA alone, then gives Andrew Wilson $30 million in bonuses and Patrick Soderlund takes a $60 million retirement package. You just gave away the entire budget of 2 AAA games on people that did not contribute to these projects whatsoever. And, by all means, yes they are the CEO and ex-COO, or ex-CFO of EA respectively and should be rewarded for their leadership, but these amounts are exorbitant. They are ludicrous. it's either this or $100 games That should be an incentive, then, not to pre-order. Wait a month or two after release, prices will fall, games will get patched to a better state than early access and then you can buy your game and enjoy it, too. I just bought Resident Evil 2 Remake with all its extras for $40. I've got so many games to play and others that I am replaying, that I have no need to rush out and buy games on release. So yeah, I write him off completely because he's fundamentally not understanding the situation I think you are understating the situation. I'm sorry, but not everyone is worthy of listening to. And I say that fully aware I know folks don't care to hear what I have to say about anything either. I think this is a terrible shame, to be honest. Both parts of that statement.

Just checked Mixer on my Xbox. Anthem currently sits at 18 viewers, 102nd place, beaten by Fallout '76 and even Talisman. I'm no expert and normally take no interest in streaming but even to my inexperienced eye this seems pitifully low. FYI, Anthem never interested me personally but I didn't want to see it fail.

but I feel like that the reality of the whole ordeal contradicts the ideals I understand you and I would have been fine with all of it, since I don't buy into MTX, but publishers handled monetization so terribly that the pushback was a long time coming, regardless of how helpful, or essential it is to the business. In the end, they'd be pushing for a game model that would be sustainable by an elite few that could stand to pour millions into these games. I've written off, so far, Activision's and EA's business model completely and have not bought their games in years, whereas companies like Ubisoft, THQ, SEGA, Focus Entertainment, Tecmo Koei, Square Enix, Capcom and Namco Bandai have been enjoying parts of my income. It will all boil down to which model will be the more sustainable one, in the end.

Financially speaking, it's either this or $100 games (which is already what they should be costing before DLC) flat fee to keep up with the rising costs. Pre-order here for big games (specifically console, can't comment on pc as I'm not sure on that) is usually $99.95 from the largest store front games distributor. Its not unusual to see special editions around the $119-$149 mark. I picked up the LOD Anthem edition the day before launch at $89.99. Yeah I get the whole currency conversion, higher shipping costs to my country ect but its already a fair chunk of $$ right there.

Just checked Mixer on my Xbox. Anthem currently sits at 18 viewers, 102nd place, beaten by Fallout '76 and even Talisman. I'm no expert and normally take no interest in streaming but even to my inexperienced eye this seems pitifully low. FYI, Anthem never interested me personally but I didn't want to see it fail. The failure is hilarious though

Patch today REMOVES Elysian chests, and fixes a minor loot exploit. Rofl. Literally a regression. Taking away the little content you added post launch while the roadmap is delayed is a damn good look, Bioware.
But hey, if you're playing in French, congrats on having that sound bug fixed in a stronghold you probably don't play because it's not HoS.
