Hooray for removing hats then
Also for extra chicken-chan give her yellow lipstick, though we're probably only getting red


Question: Has anyone seen something in which you think "This will flop" just by looking at it?
In recent memory?

Metal Gear Survive.

Unfortunately, Star Fox Zero.

After I saw it was a reboot of 64, I knew it wouldn't sell great.

I like the game, but it's not what today's gamers wanted.

Likewise with any on-rails shooter. Which is a shame, because those sort of short arcade-like games are one of my favorite genres.

So, YouTube Heroes is a thing.


I'm counting the amount of days before YouTube realizes this is a horrible idea.

Because why bother getting anyone with credentials to do it? Nah let's have Youtube comments moderate themselves. They're not a heaving cesspool of bile right?

"They're rewarding people for reporting content, aren't they?"

*watches*

Yeaaaaah, if it were any other site having a bounty hunting program might not be so bad, but when false reporting runs utterly rampant and unmoderated WITHOUT incentive things are bound to go downhill fast.

I can't wait for all my favourite commentators to have their channels deleted because Youtube's rewarded people for using their ****ty reporting system without actually fixing it!

Hey.
For those of you more savvy for sales and gaming.
Persona 5 sold 337k in its opening week for japan.
It deserves it

Considering a large chunk of Metal Gear fans know Kojima made the games what they are and backlash to Rising was because it's not a traditional game designed by Kojima, I think you're gonna end up wrong
To clarify, I'm not expecting Survive to sell as well as any of the Solid games for that reason.

I honestly can't understand at all how how dense YouTube are on these user complaints/issues.

I feels like it's run by mindless robots than humans.

And the best part? People's livelihoods can be destroyed by this.
They are essentially giving power to people who think calling someone a racial slur is appropriate for something as small as not liking a thing (or hell maybe even liking a thing). That's the people who would be policing content.


People are already scared enough with overzealous Content ID flaggers. Now there's this to deal with.

Well that's easy. Because what else is there?
Can you think of any other video sharing site that has the popularity and power of Youtube? Even if someone made up a brand new sharing site, Youtube would trounce on them in a heartbeat.

The closest was Blip, but they went down a while ago.

Jared's been hit already it seems
Most people don't even earn THAT much on youtube. I also saw someone recently get a false copyright strike by someone again because criticism is TOTALLY outside fair use

Sean is finally back on his previously closed Twitter account and he went on the record saying that Dragon Ball Super fanboys should **** off.

You know there's something wrong when Vegeta's VA is more mature.

I mean, when you're from something stupidly popular and 80% of those people keep bugging you by asking you the same question over and over again, a question he wouldn't even be allowed to answer mind you, then it's justified imo

Bought it a while ago but haven't decided to play it til today...Having a lot of fun so far...

Some really solid platforming and a lot unique weapon abilities...
The game also does well setting up it's overall atmosphere and dark undertones...

The sad thing is YouTube knows they can get away with this.

This is why no competition is bad people.

At this rate I'm convinced people are going to need to sue Youtube about false claims as it not only takes time but affects their income. What's worse? Scumbags falsely claiming videos against the law or a public service that allows it? This is why I was glad Valve removed alk DigiHom games, because it shows they won't tolerate that bull****.
Though they could fix greenlight
and quality control

They're making it so Internet randos can police Youtube. And even get perks from it.
Which is essentially going to make Youtube a bigger hell hole than it already was.

They're setting up a reward system. The more you do things like add subtitles to videos or issue reports against videos, the higher up the system you get and the more things you can do.

The latter situation being rewarded is the problem, since YouTube already has massive false reporting and copyright issues.

Youtube lets companies copyright claim or copyright strike your videos even if the claims are invalid. Warner Bros got away with claiming videos of stuff they didn't own, and that made ALL advertisement revenue go to them instead of the rightful owner. ProJared was playing Link between Worlds and some random guy claimed that video, so he gets no money from his videos because of something the claimant doesn't own. And youtube is going to REWARD that now

That really sucks. I remember the stupid policy they implemented in 2013 with the comments but this is a whole new level of idiotic. Hopefully people band together and tell Youtube get their **** together.
This reminds me, a mod in the Sega twitch yesterday talked about how NOE is having a bunch of people from Germany out next week to show something not revealed yet. To go there you apparently need to sign an NDA. I wonder if it's an NX reveal.
My bet is that it leads to nothing.

Still think the NX is getting revealed in the first week of October though.

On a more positive note though if this means we're going to see less idiotic comments from racists and bigots in the Youtube comments then that could be the silver lining in this otherwise bull**** policy being enforced.

But what defines racism and bigotry exactly?
Ask ten people and you'll get ten different answers.

That's the biggest issue with this new system.

So who can and can't moderate Youtube now?
Everyone can moderate, no limits. Meaning Fal could moderate it, or Mariotehplumber could, I could do it, you could do it, Jim Sterling could do it and Emer Prevost could do it. That last one is notable as he tried getting away with abusing the flawed copyright system recently
