Wait I never knew they were controlled by IGN.

Not from the start and not 'controlled' per say, IGN just bought the parent company DF was under a few years back.

Ok thanks

 

[trikster40]

Actually didn't even know they were controlled by IGN. I learned 2 things today!

Yep, GamerNetwork.
Was privately owned many years ago then ReedPop bought them then IGN.

My brain just can't understand why I would take a photo of myself. Least share it to the internet. How egocentric have people become.

You didnt get the memo?

You have never, ever taken a selfie?

 

[Rocco Schiavone]

Is there a lore reason why Alex feels uncomfortable playing Stellar Blade? Is he gay?

Only Bugaga himself can anwer this question.

Only Bugaga himself can anwer this question.

A lot of teenage boys or closet gays in this thread with the amount of obsession.

 

[Signalis]

Why do they always use these thumbnails where it looks like mugshots of registered sex offenders

Yes mate, that's you.

 

[ecosse_011172]

Yes mate, that's you.

The perfect teenage boy reply, beautiful.

 

[Gamer_By_Proxy]

Must have been hard for IGN to let a dude in a dress go.

How do you know what a registered sex offender looks like?

You got me. That's the teenage boy outed, are you the closet gay?

 

[ecosse_011172]

You got me. That's the teenage boy outed, are you the closet gay?

Would you like me to be?

 

[Holammer]

They've done like five or six videos on it now, maybe more if you count the Switch 2 comparisons and PS5 Pro RT upgrades.

I know, I watch DF. Because Rowling is an admitted TERF*, any discussion of the game was verboten on Ree. So Alex & John shied away from touching or talking about it.
*Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist

Quoting myself on post #74.

You clearly missed the discussion & purity spiral Hogwarts spawned.

 

[YCoCg]

Linus Tech Tips did a video on this, these kind of thumbnails are the ones that work best and get the most click/audience reach.

They know it's dumb, we know it's dumb, but the vast general audience and the YouTube algorithm has decided multiple times over now. So *shrug*

And this is important because the 6 videos on the game weren't enough?

 

[cireza]

You have never, ever taken a selfie?

Never. I don't have single picture of me on my phone, and very few of other people. Only my wife and kids.

 

[Holammer]

It's best practice. bigger YTbers often rotate Thumbnails to see which makes viewers click and what you see is the result of Darwinian selection.
"Y never thought of this", the X were geniuses!", that shit get clicks.

 

[ecosse_011172]

Many people have been somewhere on their own and taken a photo to send to others, it's very, very normal.

 

[violence]

Because he's a mature adult, not a teenage boy.

Agreed. Simply majestic.

 

[LoveCake]

Good news!

IGN never had any control over Digital Foundry, neither did Eurogamer, a percentage of the shares were owned by IGN after IGN purchased IP and brands from RELX.

 

[GoldenEye98]

Actually had no idea Eurogamer was owned by IGN...

 

[ecosse_011172]

Agreed. Simply majestic.

Indeed, a mature adult could not give a fuck if someone dresses up in a skirt and jumps up and down.
Immature little boys will get their knickers in a twist though.

 

[Alexios]

It only happened last year so you just missed that news.

 

[MrJangles]

They don't suck Sony cock, that's why the are hated on here, isn't it?

Strange take from someone who has some weird problem with Stellar Blade - a couple pages back?

 

[cireza]

I would send a picture of the scenery or of my wife and kids, not myself.

OK, each to their own.

A True Mature Adult:

 

[solidus12]

Hopefully no more exclusive trips to Redmond.

 

[HJuggernaut]

how big is their staff? will tom stay with them? i know oliver and alex stay with DF

 

[CloudShiner]

If they're rid of any presence or links to Eurogamer, then that is a massive W in itself.

 

[Sentenza]

FINALLY. THANK YOU.

Well, it'll probably be like rotating the mattress from the summer side to the winter side.
It doesn't really make much of a difference unless you are the mattress.

"Y never thought of this", the X were geniuses!", that shit get clicks.

This picture sums it all up perfectly. I don't understand how the algorithm works where thumbnails like this get preference. Who wants to watch a video with someone looking like a retard in a thumbnail. It should be a filter to show you what to avoid, not make it a selling point on your video

 

[PeteBull]

Only Bugaga himself can anwer this question.

Its called fluid nowadays, get with the times u nazi mysogynist racist narcisist pig

 

[AGRacing]

​

BEAUTIFUL!!! Now they don't have to feel like it's absolutely necessary to cover a franchise just because it's hugely popular. When the author is against mutilating kids or men beating the shit out of women in sports you should be able to independently take a pass and then spend the evening putting lipstick on and clothes pinning your nips like a normal person.

 

[PlayStaytion]

Digital Foundry UNCHAINED!!!

 

[vkbest]

Because he's a mature adult, not a teenage boy.

Being a mature adult makes you retarded? first time I read that.

 

[GymWolf]

Was this the reason why they sucked before?

can't wait to see the improvements...

 

[ecosse_011172]

Looks like school's out.

 

[Kacho]

I'm noticing a lot of friction between ecosse_011172 qnd this community. I wonder what woke him up from his 7 year nap…

 

[Hudo]

Maybe now they can finally learn how ray tracing works.

 

[kevboard]

of course the average IQ in here is already below sea level... it's a thread about digital foundry after all

I'm getting lots of likes so it's certainly not "the community", just a few kids.
