Sony. You know, that company, makes things. With that funny looking bloke at the helm that looks a bit like an old drunk. The company that doesnt like you playing old games and hikes new game prices up during a pandemic

He did, but he also told us, what Sony did.It can happen. Buy the game and review it

Oh no!
Oh ok
anyway
You seem to care enough to enter the thread and post tho. Getting your Sony PR money worth? I mean that’s the only reason for the idiotic very low IQ posts like this in every negative thread about Sony.
Or some people really don't know who he is. Lol why is this a hard concept for some of you to understand. Not everyone watches the same dry "comedy" as you.
I always enjoy reading this type of thread because you get a response from the blind fanboys that defend Sony no matter what and their illogical thought process can be very entertaining.Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart - Zero Punctuation - The Escapist
This week on Zero Punctuation, Yahtzee reviews Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart, the exclusively PlayStation 5 adventure from Insomniac Games.www.escapistmagazine.com
How far up their own ass are Sony nowadays. Holy shit.
Censoring Japanese games, not giving reviewers copies, because they don't like their style?
I am very happy, that I did not buy a PS5.
Obviously you missed the point that all publishers operate this way.I always enjoy reading this type of thread because you get a response from the blind fanboys that defend Sony no matter what and their illogical thought process can be very entertaining.
Sony could charge their customers $150 per game and I am 100% convinced you would have fanboys defending it.

Obviously you missed the point of my response and have done exactly what I just called out lol you don't care that Sony might have done something a little shady, you care that people dare call it out.Obviously you missed the point that all publishers operate this way.
The point is that it isn't shady. This how video game PR operates and ALWAYS HAS.Obviously you missed the point of my response and have done exactly what I just called out lol you don't care that Sony did might have done something a little shady, you care that people dare call it out.
You are more concerned with the response than the action itself.
To be fair, if you watch a ZP video it's 20% review and 80% scathing attack on life.Imagine caring what a "reviewer" says about a game this days......
I'll take Jane & John Doe's opinions/observations first..
Lol ok, let it be whatever you need it to be my friend. Like I said, the thought process is always entertaining.The point is that it isn't shady. This how video game PR operates and ALWAYS HAS.
In the Brazilian topic they already pretty much do that.I always enjoy reading this type of thread because you get a response from the blind fanboys that defend Sony no matter what and their illogical thought process can be very entertaining.

Yessss but we're on Neogaf, a dedicated gaming forum. I'm not buying that most of the people on here haven't heard of him. It's only speculation of course I cannot prove anything.You assume that any particular YT outside of the mainstream names like Pewdiepie or the Paul idiots are known by anyone in the general public? There are billions of people with YT access, and you'd be lucky to find a few million people who know of this guy. To put it in perspective, Pewdiepie might be the biggest name by far on YT, and most of the people I know (all engineers or coders) will never have heard of him. Let that sink in for a moment. I personally have never watched even a single second of any content he's made. I know of him from news articles and the Reddit front page.
Also, no one should care about any reviewers not receiving review codes. I don't care it's Sony, CDPR, or any company not giving codes. Buy a fucking copy of the game, and review it yourself, if it's such a big deal. I'm not going to care about you not getting free shit. I'm not built like that, and I don't think many people are.
Whatever free publicity he gets, will be meaningless to Sony. They have a business to run, and they have their own guidelines to follow. I'm in the fortunate position of not caring what other people have to say about a game or movie. I do my own research based on general gamer/viewer feedback, and I form my own opinions on what I play or see. I've never not bought a game because it reviewed poorly. I've never not watched a movie because it reviewed poorly. Why should someone else dictate my decisions? I never get buyer's remorse, because I don't buy things I'm unsure about, and I get enjoyment out of most forms of entertainment. Even bad games have enjoyable moments, but I haven't bought any games I'd consider to be bad. If I'm unsure about it, I'd rent it first.
Oh my god, some of you people are as thick as brick walls.Lol ok, let it be whatever you need it to be my friend. Like I said, the thought process is always entertaining.
Does not surprise me in the slightest. You see it on every single thread where anyone attempts to point out something even slightly negative about Sony.In the Brazilian topic they already pretty much do that.
I'm sorry you feel that way, would it be better if I just accepted your logic and stopped posting? I dont want to stress you out in a pointless thread that means nothing in real life.Oh my god, some of you people are as thick as brick walls.
I agree. ThoseI don't think it deserves 10 pages of intense fanboy defence force.
Best reply in the thread. And not even that funny.Sony fans: This is what everyone does, cry more.
Microsoft fans: This proves why Sony is run by a reanimated Hitler from the shadows.
Nintendo fans: Man, Switch Pro and BotW2 and shit.
Me: LOL, this is stupid, when's that Abandoned app drop? #TeamReal.
Not really and i never said that Sony owes him a copy.Does your rule apply to everyone or only this guy? Does every publishe owe every reviewer on the planet a review copy of every game? If I go start a review site/channel and begin requesting review copies of games, is anyone who denies me a copy an "insecure bitch?"
Not really and i never said that Sony owes him a copy.
Sony giving as a reason disliking his tone, meaning that they don't want to give a copy to someone that is going to say bad things about their game without a doubt, makes them look like insecure bitches.
If you are secure about your product you don't pick and chose based on tone but exposure.
Denying a copy to him did not stop the review, he is not going to change his "tone" because having to wait to buy the game and play it like everybody else.
There is nothing in Jahtzee's comment either implying that Sony owes him a copy, he just made public the reason because it's not common for him to be denied a copy because of his tone from Sony.
I mean, if your posts are just console war bullshit, than sure. It’s not like we are missing anything.I'm sorry you feel that way, would it be better if I just accepted your logic and stopped posting? I dont want to stress you out in a pointless thread that means nothing in real life.
Yeah, that's not how advertising work.Again, PR's job is to manage the coverage of their product to make it beneficial to the publisher. Any PR person who provided free product to an outlet that exists only to shit on said product would lose their job and likely be blacklisted in the industry of they continued to do it.
That isn’t being insecure. That is a marketing team doing their job.Not really and i never said that Sony owes him a copy.

You're right, I just don't take this site as serious as I should. I need to try harder to match the standard people like you have set for the rest of us.I mean, if your posts are just console war bullshit, than sure. It’s not like we are missing anything.

He made the comment because he's a salty bitch. You can tell by reading his comment.
"It would have come out sooner if we’d gotten a review code before the release date but Sony wouldn’t give us one when they found out what it was for. They said that, quote, “Given the tone of that coverage, we’d prefer you secure your own code.” From where, Sony, the fucking dumpster outside your office? I don’t normally give you these cheeky little glances behind the beef curtains but I mean, really. I guess we all knew publishers want to dictate the content of reviews, hence those review guides they keep sending us that read like a timid schoolchild asking to please not be kicked in these specific sensitive areas, but I didn’t expect them to just come out and admit it. What’s your problem with my “tone,” Sony? You didn’t know I’d make the “snatchet” joke."
Not a good look at all by this guy. Good on Sony!
The statistics prove that he produced ~ 50 videos with 2 million views or more and even more with 1 million and more.
The dude alone has the same amount views as Kotaku and Polygon combined on youtube.
He is not taking away your PS5, don't worry it will be save on your shrine. Sony is great, Sony is awesome. Don't worry all is good.
All is good, he can't hurt you. Here is a picture of a kitten.

Apparently. Just like the "Bungie said it's hot" thread, lol. A small situation, blown out of proportion, full of ass takes, that just grew long in the tooth like a motherfucker, lol.So a YouTuber didn't get a free code for a game review and it gets twisted into another meaningless console war pissing match.
We needed 11 pages for this?
One of the worst posts in this thread and that's saying something.Why are Snoy fans so brazenly pathetic? Yes Papa Sony, only you can approve of the coverage I will consoom. Tell these fucking losers that they must treat your product with absolute reverence and seriousness like it deserves or kick rocks, nerd.

I guess so. It's just so ridiculous to me that we get this much of a shit show from something that literally everyone in the industry does just because this one (apparently) popular content creator got a bit salty that he didn't get a free code this time around.Apparently.

Don't bring logic into this thread. It's a shitshow console war. It's really a giant nothing burger played up for outrage and shit flinging.I guess so. It's just so ridiculous to me that we get this much of a shit show from something that literally everyone in the industry does just because this one (apparently) popular content creator got a bit salty that he didn't get a free code this time around.
Every time a new release happens codes get sent out because the hype train needs to get going. These people are not chosen at random. They don't just shotgun the codes out into the public. This is curated content. These people are chosen by reputation, audience size and audience composition. This is not a Sony thing. This a video game industry thing. And not everyone gets a code. Some people may not meet the requirements they are asking for this time around so just because you got a code for another game does not mean you get a free code EVERY time. You may not be the audience or tone that they want this time, but all this guy has done is make sure that it's unlikely he ever gets a code again now. And that is on him. Not Sony. The only thing Sony did here is the exact same thing that always happens when it's time to start throwing codes out across the internet.
If anyone genuinely believes that Nintendo or Microsoft or any other major developer or publisher does not go through this exact same approval and denial process when it comes to review codes for major releases then I would love you to hit me up in my PMs. I have a bridge for sale.

Nooooooeeeeeeeeeeeeesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!!!!
Love posters that pretend to be above the topic while shitposting. Guess the card he will play next: The Victim card or (my personal favorite),everybody else except me is a raving fanboy card. Polling starts now!I mean, if your posts are just console war bullshit, than sure. It’s not like we are missing anything.

His books are pretty good mind!
"comedic", "journalist", "humorist", "developer"...
Probably one of the most-watched reviewers on the internet, huge influence in gaming.
For example, the term Glorious PC Master race was from his Witcher review.
