Clearly it mattered to the poster i replied that made a wrong statement.
I don't remember replying to you?
Why do you care so much to reply multiple times with hand picked gifs?

Looks like you care enough

 

[Chris_Rivera]

Good. The entitlement is just as annoying.

 

[TheMay30thMan]

If anything, that just means Yahtzee has more integrity than the reviewers that got an early copy. Stay salty, though. You’re only hurting yourself.

 

[Pegasus Actual]

Why do people have thin skin about the Escapists lack of relevance?

Oh I don't care about the Escapist or Sony. I just found that comment with the PLEASE WATCH MY TWITCH tag next to the name kind of hilarious.

Besides, isn't the golden rule of content creation not to speak ill of other holy creators of content?!?! For without these brave content creators how could we have content?

 

[AmuroChan]

This is not anything new. The largest PlayStation-centric podcast is blacklisted by Sony.

What are you talking about? YouTubers and streamers criticize each other all the time.

The fact that he asked throws his integrity in doubt.

 

[TLZ]

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.

And I still don't know who he is.

But that doesn't change the fact he shouldn't cry about not getting a review copy. If he's that popular then he's making lots of money. Just buy one. We're broke compared to him and still buying.

I see you know how to argue like a 6-year-old kid, your Kung Fu is very strong.

Says the dude kicking his feet over a review copy to his alter ego.

It's not his fault your thread backfired.
No one is entitled to free shit, not IGN, not some YouTuber, not Instagram "celebs", it's up to the publisher (in this case, Sony) to decide who gets the free shit and this guy wasn't one of them.
There's no breaking news, there is no scandal, it doesn't matter.

Says the dude kicking his feet over a review copy to his alter ego.

Now I want to watch Kung Pow again.

Official poll results just in:

95% thinks this dude is crazy
3% hates Sony no matter what
2% margin of error

 

[N30RYU]

glad someone got the PS5 you don't deserve OP

 

[TheMay30thMan]

The fact that he asked throws his integrity in doubt.

Absolutely. That just proves that no one will be happy either way. In the end, who really gives a shit? Getting worked up over this is a waste of the limited and precious time we have.

 

[Saber]

Honest question OP...could he just buy the game?
Or is he supposed to give a score according to what the company provides to him? If Sony or any other company gave him a free copy, would his score change to reflex that?

 

[Genx3]

Of course
Do you think Sony is going to give you a review copy without expectations?
This is Sony, the company that threatened Circuit City to delay TV and other electronic shipments during the PS1 era if they continued to sell competitors consoles.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

I remember when this dude was big shit. Back in the day when snide, sardonic British guys using twice as many words to say half as much was vogue.

Even if it's a character, dude reminds me of Jason Schrier and Jim Sterling. People who hate gaming but it pays their bills. Lame.

 

[Joshmyersbv]

I think every reviewer should have to pay for the games they review. The entitlement in the industry is ridiculous. Besides, they're getting paid to play video games. Get a real fucking job.

 

[b6a6es]

Based Sony

 

[TheGodfather07]

guy should be happy he is able to have a PS5 and be able to play ratchet and clank at all.

 

[TheInfamousKira]

The six pages of bickering and "Who?" memes are more interesting than Yahtzee. You guys should get free review copies.

 

[Porcile]

Remember when this guy was super popular for like one month? I am amazed he is still doing the same boring thing like a decade later.

He basically just ended up being another Jim Sterling. Making controversial reviews to get a reaction and egged on by his comment base. And like Jim the schtick got old very fast.

I legit lost my shit when homeboy posted like six resources about the etymology of "PC Master Race," and the last blurb was like "he got over 400 comments and 640 likes!"

Like, bruh. The fucking Quartering gets like 4.1k comments on a video and he just reads other people's articles and begs for subscribers. No wonder you don't get free shit if your most popular video and claim to fame is getting half a thousand people to give a fuck for four minutes.

 

[Lupingosei]

You do know you posted this embarrassing thread right?

Nothing is close to as embarrassing as what you and some of your "friends" try to make of it.

Or the people foaming why is he getting free shit I am not getting free shit, I deserve free shit, so as long as I don't get free shit with my 10 viewers on twitch, nobody else does.

Or the laughable who? guys, about a guy who has several Wikipedia entries. Something the who? guys people will never ever get in their whole "why is he getting free shit" life.

Or the guy who says "no he was not the origin of glorious PC master race" and when you present sources for it other people try to derail the whole thing.

That would be embarrasing.

 

[YCoCg]

Ben is still doing these?? He was getting games for free under the guise of it being a review??? That's the biggest surprise to me, his whole act is to be sarcastically British Australian and talk fast in a posh to shit on the game as much as possible.

 

[TexMex]

Imagine writing this post out thinking you were on to something

Dunkey doubles those views in less than a week.

We don't see him crying.

 

[Gordon Freeman]

I think the point he was trying to make is that they stopped giving him codes now and it is due to his style. Which is parody and tongue in cheek.

The fact Sony is worried about his obviously purposely hilarious reviews is really concerning.

 

[Lupingosei]

We don't see him crying.

Where was he crying, he was just adding it. Which is just interesting.

And as Gordon Freeman said, they gave him before and he is around for more than a decade and now it is his style?

 

[Dav-Kripler]

He's a video game comedian not a journalist

 

[Derift]

Of all the reasons to not buy a console it was because they didn't give someone a review copy of a game...

 

[NewYork214]

Fuck all of the reviewers. Give them early access but make them pay still. Don't get why anyone reads/watches reviews still. I'd rather wait for gameplay videos on YouTube.

 

[DeepEnigma]

You're crying, you. YOOOOUUUUUU!

You.

 

[e&e]

So, you would be more supportive of them if they did give him a review copy because they do "like his style"?

It's a bit of a silly thing either way. I personally trust reviewers more if they are not offered review copies at all.

Offered or not accept?

 

[TheInfamousKira]

Oh, so he got 1.7m in 9 years. Excuse me. That's a horse of a different color, then. And here I was simping for Hasan Kahraman. I change my cult badge to Zero Punctuation, full stop.

 

[Astral Dog]

Sony doesn't have any obligation to give free copies and that channel is just annoying

Why did I reply?

Because, son - it's FUCKING hilarious watching you guys having an aneurysm over who said 'PC master race' first.

 

[SF Kosmo]

95% of his reviews are overwhelmingly negative. I am surprised anyone gives him review copies.

Review copies are a tool publishers use to generate positive press for a game. They don't come with strings attached and some will coverage may be negative but a lot of times they won't send out stuff they know is bad and they won't send stuff to outlets they expect to give negative coverage.

Yeah, like...I created some content in my toilet fifteen minutes ago. It's the same deal. It was even regurgitated from other people's work. Thanks Pizza Hutt! Where's my golden Play button?!

If you take a photo of it and post it on Reddit, you deserve a Patreon. And, if people see your literal shit for FREE, they should check their privilege and cough up some buckaroos. You're creating content, and they are stealing it like the common thieves they are.

I see, that is why people are like that.

Youtubers still make people salty and envious.

 

[DeepEnigma]

Just for ha ha's since this forum has great searching tools.

I did a search for GLORIOUS PC MASTER RACE.... and well, I can set dates as to when. I pulled "before October 2009" out of a hat, and there are a plethora of posts using it. Two years before normies tried giving this dude credit because they never heard of the internet prior to the smart phone generations.

Rock Band Platform |OT|

I had some little fun with GHWT that lasted almost 2 weeks...a lot more than GH5. Nuff said for me. Agree. Even after all the hating I did on WT, the setlist is much better and more challenging than GH5. If GH6 is even easier than GH5 I'm completely done with GH games. I have to say im...

That was just one post out of HUNDREDS prior to Oct '09. I am sure I can dig some even further back than that 2011 "review." He didn't invent shit.
