I honestly can't wait for the period where all these people just stop making "content", the saddest part is the amount of people that just sponge it all up.

Not even anime girl (that's mine). It's an anime trans-girl.
Anyway, this whole drama is ridiculously overblown and fabricated out of nothing. Vavra gave an explanation, that's more than enough.

There is always a way to add an update to remove scenes, if you prefer too. I think the developers should have been nice at first when he responded about this issue to some fans. He was not nice. To honest, I chose Dynasty warriors origin instead of KCD2. I was in dilemma which one to buy due to budget constraints, so i chose DWO.

You put pronouns in a game and it's WW3 for me. But I ain't touching this one.Man this game has been dragged through the culture war mud left and right, I just hope it turns out to be good game.
Off topic: That is why I hope there is a ban on social media and youtube vlogs, up to age 18. This has been a source of fake news, toxicity, scammers, sexual predators, and mental health issues especially to the youth. It is much better if social media and vlog will be allowed on a much educated and matured stage which for me is 18.

Why the fuck is there an anime girl with the voice of a dude taking up 30% of the screen.

I know what that is my man, it's just that I guessed those are used on streams and not normal YouTube videos.Wouldn't it be better if devs didn't react to grifters fishing for clout?
Plus that thing is fucken huge and has a dude's voice lol. I dunno, strikes me as weird.

Yes. You never let your detractors/enemies know you care about their opinion. Let them scream into the void.

Nah certain content creators use avatars whether cute, sexy, ugly, animals as stand-ins as opposed to what they actually look like and may or may not use voice changing software. I prefer real people though if I'm watching something. You can glean much from genuine facial reactions.I know what that is my man, it's just that I guessed those are used on streams and not normal YouTube videos.

It doesn't matter. Boycotts don't work no matter which side is pushing their agenda.
The failure of "woke" games is entirely due to their own flaws, and has precisely fuck all to do with the YT clown-car monetizing the push-back.

It’s ridiculous how quickly people jump on a product in a weak attempt to sink it.
I saw a video where the open nature of the game was on display, and how choices were reflected afterwards. And that was just putzing around the village, and had nothing to do with a quest. KCD2 is beyond everything else out there, but people don’t care about how good a game is. It has to fully align with their political views.
Both extreme sides need to be put on an island where they can have their short bus slap fight. Leave the normal people to enjoy the hobby.

Maybe because the way the developer answered some of the fans question was rude and sarcastic. It turn off many fans and potential buyers. He was not a gentleman the way he handled the issue, not a chivalrous as a knight
Lack of humility and total arrogance.

I think it's going to get increasingly difficult to determine if someone has content with legitimate criticisms of a game or if their content is designed to generate clicks.
'Grifting' and 'grifter' is a really stupid, over-the-top label though. We're talking about fucking video games on the internet but using the word 'grift' implies unlawful and harmful behavior with real-life victims.

Well for me that is applicable in real life interaction like arguments and self defense, but in business, for me, it is different were customers and fans must be listened too and be patient and be humble with them to earn there trust ( and there money ). As they always say in business, the customer is always right.

I would never support closing or banning discussions simply because of having different opinions or because of them being "problematic" (like I'm not a fan of banning politics discussions on GAF). It's just that posting what some youtuber is saying is forwarding complete trash. Most of them don't care about anything else than creating clickworthy material and preying on current dramas as much as possible. In my opinion we should stick to other sources.

Wait, those idiots are betting against GTAVI? LMAO
Don't tell me they think the game is woke because there is a female protagonist? good lord, the anti-woke mob is really getting caught up in the horseshoe logic and they don't even realize

Yeah, kids don't need to be aware of all this nonsense, it's only going to make their generation worse.
The worst part about all this is that age doesn't even play a factor. People of every age just sponge up anything and everything they read without researching. It's so wild to me that people can read and hear anything that isn't factual, confirmed, etc. and be like "IT'S TRUE!" with no questions asked.

I agree with you. But making this thread is more about the devs, rather some YouTuber's opinions.
In fact I don't know this channel prior to making the thread. I think it worth discussing that Daniel and his game are now under fire from both sides.

The deepest of lols. This developer honestly should have just shut the fuck up about any of this and they should have never been trying to attack other developers.
The irony of doing this only to then be attacked yourself is wild to me.... Maybe they should have just let their game speak for themselves.
So I wish I could say I was surprised but we have people measuring chins on here to determine if they're going to purchase a game why the fuck should anyone be shocked that they're attacking this game based on these reasons? Lol
Suddenly, Youtube went from being the voice, the REAL METRIC a few weeks ago, to irrelevant, doesn't matter, invalid etc when its someone's favorite game is on the chopping block lol
People on Youtube are attacking the game? OHHHH it must be true, I better cancel my pre-order /s lol. Some of you spent all that fucking time posting youtubers to attack so many games, only to be trying to pretend now that this shit is happening to KCD2, that suddenly, none of that matters now.

It's funny how many of you knee jerk respond to this thread. The "thing" here is the Youtuber in question was defending Warhorse, or at least suggesting much of this is an overreaction and we need more clarity, not jumping in the "bandwagon" and Vavra attacked him (he couldn't have watched the video is what this means) by calling him a grifter. Based on everything I've been able to determine at this point, it's Vavra that's the grifter.

Everything is anime now. Add anything anime themed to something and it will sell or get viewed 500% more

Ah yes, Vavra effectively admits he didn't watch the video and called someone out for nothing, at least that's how I read it. Either that or "don't care" sort of sorry. Either one is bad, IMO.
"Grifter" indeed...

True, but the developer has themselves to blame for a lot of this.
If he knew he had um..."spicy" things in that game, I think maybe he should have never been bringing up the recent Dragon Age game, I don't think a lot of shit should have been brought up as not only is this in poor taste, they now find their game on the same chopping block being attacked.
If it was all fun and ok to do it to another game, they can keep that same energy. A lot of us even predicted this, that someone would find a few things out about the game annnnnnnnd now its on the shooting gallery lol

So much this, devs just release their game and let their work do the talking instead of involving themselves in culture drama crap.
These days can’t have a god damn game get released without bunch culture war crap behind it.
That’s fucking internet for you.
