What do you think of these vids from DistantKingdom?
Have seen some people bashing him for "negativity" (note: unless said criticism has no point or nothing with what's criticizing, criticism does not stand for "negativity", but we'll get to that), but doesn't he make plenty of other videos too? That's including videos where he praises the points he thinks GF gets right?Also, again, critical thinking/criticism has nothing to do with "negativity", at least not in the derogatory sense. If really there's a point to it, criticism can be good and constructive. If done correctly, it's a good thing for both companies involved and especially for us consumers, as it could maybe lead to brand growth and better products/games.
Exaggerated "positivism" or "complacency", on the other hand, are things that encourage worse products only.
Remind: No matter how much affection we do have for games and even some of developers, at the end of the day, Game Freak, TPC, Nintendo and relatives are business companies still, not our friends. Futhermore, if it's a smart company, it's going to want to know what we want, after all games are made for us to buy, products are made for their consumers, if we (consumers) didn't buy games, there would be no reason for them to be made in the first place (at least in the case of a business company).
So, since he's a fan/potential consumer too, there's absolutely nothing wrong with him voicing his criticisms.
Should really just give up already and let people enjoy things.
No one is stopping anyone from liking things, though? Unless he outright said something on those lines in the video, I don't think it has anything to do with it. That's subjective.I'm not even a fan of this person, I'm sure i've never watched more than maybe 2 half videos of this guy. But from what I've seen, he at least seems like a good influence to fanbase in that department in the sense he tries to use logic and voice his criticisms. Unlike other influencers who unfortunately try to influence people to act like consumerism zombies sometimes.
This is a man who makes playable barefoot mod models of underage character, had an entire controversy on Twitter over pedophilia...
And what does that have anything to do with it? (see: Argumentum ad hominem) I mean, those things have absolutely nothing to do with his opinions on the games.
But out of curiosity, is this the controversy you're referring to?
I also honestly think you're looking too far into barefoot mod models of underage characters. Legends Arceus had underage barefoot models as well. I could say more on this, but I think it's enough.
...and does these mods without an entire development cycle and stakeholders applying influence/pressure that needs to be kept in account.
Why do they have to be taken into account again? It's TPC/Nintendo who chooses to release games annually to milk more money from fanbase. If there are people who are dissatisfied with that, there's nothing wrong with using their voice to say it.Just as there would be nothing wrong with you saying you disagree and that you prefer lower quality annual releases. Fair game. Just live and let people live. Million-dollar companies just don't need anyone defending them.
