IT'S HAPPENING
>>344745085
Okay?
No, really? Who woulda thunk it.
>>344745085
So who are the other Youtubers?
gimme a link man.
No one cares
Literally at that point, you know they're literally a big soulless company like entity. I won't rely on anyone's word about a game if they have something to gain from it.
can't hate him for cheating the system, in fact it makes me think better of him in a way
>any outcry against this will immediately be linked to gamergate in an attempt to discredit it
YOLO
>>344745085
SHILLS EVERYWHERE BTFO
GAS THE CASUALS
time for this bubble to burst, feds need to get involved
YT is such a shithole at this point
>>344745085
so the only reason he complained about youtube drama is because he didn't want people investigating into his stuff?
>>344745085
well, i kinda knew it now it´s just official and i just wont watch their channels anymore
acting like a 13 year old on camera shouldnt be a business
>>344745085
>shilling is real
Is this the power of meme magic?
So, e-celebs brought to you by Warner.
Why are we pretending this is a new piece of news? We discussed this like a year and a half ago.
>>344745085
Has PewDiePie EVER said anything negative about any game he played? Even when he's playing garbage games he always still recommends them.
>>344745085
>most video game reviewers are paid to write good reviews
SHOCK OF THE CENTURY
>companies actually pay these guys to shill
Why would Warner Bros do this when the game was good enough it didn't need to pay to get good coverage
>>344745389
He trashed that bear simulator game or something
no one will care
nothing will change
we'll all go on bitching about the next shitty AAA game.

>>344745085
Was only a matter of time before they got fukt by disclosure laws. With this and the CSGO gambling bullshit Youtube are going to have to either act or get legislatively raped.
>>344745085
Gotta love game bloggers. Taking publisher gifts and money for positive reviews is completely fine as long as we're the ones doing it!
>>344745389
He trashed the new Zelda.
The actual news: Why are clickbait sites suddenly reporting this?
>>344745409
It's actually a great strategy though. Pewdiepie gets more views than there are people on Earth and he works to maintain a "bro" relationship with his audience so kids trust him.
>>344745409
And have been doing so for the past 3+ years. Glad to have you with us in 2016.
>>344745543
He did?
>>344745389
He shat on bear simulator and the dev had a meltdown over it
>>344745173
Totalbiscuit
>>344745582
Because youtubers are costing them their clicks so they jump at their throats in any way they can.
Who were the other youtubers?
What gets me is Shadow of Mordor is a pretty decent game all around, why the fuck would you put yourself at risk of a scandal/investigation over something like that?
>>344745543
How does a "let's play" youtuber shit on something he didn't play
>>344745685
>>344745173
All the link says is youtubers with subs over 5k
shitty clickbait title since youtubers were the ones who revealed it in the first place
>>344745718
It would be really nice to know other than Pube and >>344745680. I wish they'd actually fucking list them.
>>344745085

R u people that stupid to watch this shit?
>>344745085
Are people really up in arms about this shit now? But it was fine years ago when it first came up.

Pretty funny. I'm one of those "big" youtubers and the amount of fucking emails i get daily over sponsored content is insane. Pic related:

Didn't he disclose it, it was about the laptop.
>>344745239
>YT is such a shithole at this point
It's kind of sad to see what has become of YT but once you involve big corporations and shit tons of money anything can and will go to shit.
I miss the 2006-2008 years of YT. You can't even use music now in a parody video if some company submits a copyright claim.
>>344746009
You're retarded if you think Totalbiscuit doesnt get paid to shill games.
>>344746002
no id like the money but lifestyle seems like ass, rather be Notch and just shit post in my mansion
>>344745085
>YouTube celebrities are shills
And water is wet
>>344746002
Yes
>>344745932
>>344745963
I could say that sponsored content itself is just basically spam anyway. One time i ended up replying to one of these people saying i'll only do it for 5k (just top of my head random high number). They replied back saying they could pay me 3.5k for.
Was amazed they'd spend that much money on a single video (although not like i could actually do it, i make animations and there's 0 way for me to shill a product).
>>344746002
That might work for extreme cases like PewDiePie but just look at this shit here.
>>344745693
It's shite save for one mechanic which is quite simplistic
>>344746002
he gay tho
>>344746002
Yes of course, I envy his life also. Work sucks and its hard, I wish I could do almost nothing to just get by, let alone be as wealthy as this dimwit.
>>344745680
So, how much does he have left? i dont remember what his life expectancy was.
>>344746002
Im too lazy for all that
>>344746002
Probably not, I'd rather just live comfortably with my girlfriend. I've never been one to have very high ambitions.
>>344745085
>Something that we always knew is now confirmed

>>344746002
Ssundee was hacked a month ago and the hacker got both into his youtube/twitter and posted how much he earns just from ads alone a month (this isn't even mentioning the company deals he gets).

Not to be that guy. But didn't we already know this?
Or did we lack proof before?
I bet a hundred bucks that /v/ will forget this shit in a week and there won't be another gamergate from that. I mean, it's not like PDP has a vagina.

can only hope I'll someday make it and leave this peasant life behind.
>>344745320
Are you retarded? Shilling was real before internet existed.
>>344745865
you're a fucking retard. i dont even need to look at the metadata to see the .ru email server to identify 6 different ways that is obviously spam. for your own good never use a credit card online
>>344746002
This isn't how it actually happens.
A 15 minute video generally takes 4 hours of shooting, reshooting, and editing. Provided you're improvising and not working with talking points.

>>344746442
>Good on him
For winning the lucky draw that is Youtube exposure?
I get congratulating people that win lotteries but "good on you" implies he did something special to get it.
>>344745085
is this even illegal where PewDiePie is?
>>344746375
>They discovered the cancer in 2014

Wow, i feel sorry for the guy, and not for the cancer.

>pretends game isnt absolute dogshit
>>344746686
And what better way to remove yourself from suspicion than deflection?
what game though?
>>344746097
This would be ironic considering his recent rant about shilling.
I like to think that Totalbiscuit has intengrity, because I like a lot of what he's said and done in the past in terms of games journalism and transparency.
But people are human, and he's dying of cancer so it wouldn't surprise me if he's going to be hypocritical to set up his wife and his wifes son for after he's gone/
a new low for injustass
>>344746731
It's just like any "x simulator" that isn't with vehicles. Half-assed and developer even quit like a bitch because Pewdiepie shat on it.
>>344746782
He did. If it wasn't special, everyone would be doing it.
>>344746824
What's the problem? He is making money for his family while he can.
>>344746824
2-3 years is the expectation for a FIT human.
>>344746765
Yeah but i'm not making that much from just youtube. Youtube killed revenue for quality content that's short, so that's why most animators and other short content producets called it quits.
Like a video i make thats 1:20 long but has a million views only earns about 450$, meanwhile a letsplay thats 20 minutes long stacked together with other parts in a week can easily surpass that. If you're trying to make money with animation on YT reconsider.

I'm sure there's a lot of work and effort put into creating a successful channel. /v/ has youtube threads every now and then, and I've yet to see a single person from this board have a channel with more than a few thousand subscribers. It can't be as easy as people say it is.
>>344745693
LOL
>>344746835
Nice proof
>>344746768
Shadows of Mordor is a great game to see who's a shill and who actually has a decent taste in vidya.
Remember that one video that showcased how you can win fights with your monitor turned off?
>>344746768
/v/ has decided to hate Totalbiscuit, so a shill he must be
>>344746259
Yeah. He was proud of it.
>>344746148
That is because Angry Joe (sometimes) shits on games. You don't need that kind of publicity so you just don't give him permission to use your content.
>>344746891

Yeah, must be nice.
I'm an actual marketing analyst for a major firm. We have skirted the law when it comes to disclosures on YouTube and other social media since there is no case law that sets precedent that outstanding regulations apply to social media.
As an abundance of caution we (and presumably others) will begin to add disclosures in the ending/credits cinematic most YouTubers have in the videos since no one really pays attention to them anyway.
>>344746934
Call me a babby casual, but I enjoyed my playthrough of the game. It wasn't spectacular, but I did not regret my purchase.
>>344746909
Thats satire, there is actual people on youtube who say its better.

>>344747002

shadows of mordor is a great game, its a damn shame you will never experience it since you're a meme loving faggot
>>344746934
>>344747012
Shadow of Mordor is a lowest common denominator game.
It's no different then Uncharted or Assassins Creed.
It's flashy. It's visually interesting, while needing the intelligence of a potato to play and enjoy.
Is the gameplay shit? Objectively, yes.
It's flashy and can be enjoybale. If you want some brainless entertainment it's not a terrible game, a 7/10 at best I think though.
>>344747002
I dont get it
>>344747042
Exactly.
>>344746768
I hate that I read all that in his voice.
>>344747034
>I'm a baby casual but I enjoyed the game
This doesn't help the game's credibility.
>>344745409
Companies pay people to post here.
I think paying some youtube cuck is the lesser evil.
>>344745085
pewdiepie literally says in the beggining of video when its a paid promotion, so i dont see whats the big deal is
>>344747150
If you're hearing Total Biscuit in your head you might need medical help anon
>>344746883
Everyone IS doing it, he got lucky with a bit of exposure which, since google changed YTs featured and search algorithms, automatically snowballs you to more success based purely on the subject material's appeal.

So what? They aren't journalists. They're literally fucking carny ass businessmen who do whatever they can for money. How can anyone be surprised that these people took money for positive reviews?
Pewdiepie is fucking given cuts of game sales if he plays the game on his channel. He isn't going to shit on a game that is going to make him money.
>>344747180
I've already asked god to take my life tonight. Just waiting for that lightning bolt to strike me down.

Sticking 'objectively' before an opinion doesn't make it objective.
Grow up.

he's right
>>344747145
I think that person finds the fact that Mr. Bain had the courage to step up to the plate another man left on the table and be a caring stepfather to a young kid amusing for some reason.
>>344747140
I liked it too, before finding out about the scandal. It's like TB said, the game could have very well stood on its own, but WB decided to go full retard.
>>344747284
In many jurisdictions you are legally obliged to disclose whenever you're being paid to promote something.
>>344746942
when did this start anyway? before he was full reddit he was openly saying he likes /v/. I bet it's you fuckers that caused him to get an "internet nanny"
>>344746002
Add 20 minutes for editing
>>344745085
If any of you myself included had this kind of chance of course you would take it, free money for just playing a game infront of your audience thats mostly kids.
Can we just talk about the fact that if you don't have a distinctive and pleasant voice you're just FUCKED and your Youtube channel will never have more than 50 subs?
>>344747371
But they aren't promoting anything. They're just playing a game and "acting" their Youtube personas. There's so many loopholes in it because it's still so new.
>>344747385
>TB is pure PC gaming
>/v/ is full of GAF
Not hard to figure out
>>344747332
>WB decided to go full retard.
They wanted to play it safe, not saying it's not a good thing. Did the other Middle Earth games sell well that aren't based on the movies?
>>344747385
He's very self-destructive when it comes to Internet comments. There's something to be said for thick skins being chipped at with time due to the sheer amount of hate someone in his position gets, but he actively wallows in it, and he admits it too.
He's not the most stable person in the world, is the thing.
>>344747389
>he thinks that faggot edits videos himslef
LAMO
>>344747449
If you are being paid for a review, you are promoting, even if it's a negative review.

warner bros didnt do anything illegal
>>344747418
Well, yeah. But PewDiePie is just such an inlikeable faggot. He's like, just there, know what I mean? Sure he's entertaining the lowest common denominator, but to everyone else he's just a really unlikeable person.
>>344746587
It was still fun 2bh. Easy I'll admit.
Anyway, he fought a low level compound at a high level. The Warchiefs can get pretty strong.
>>344747520
Nobody in this thread is bashing Warner Bros
bruh, if a large corperation payed you to shitpost, you'd take that money and get banned for life.

>>344747453
Shadow of Mordor actually looked good and fun from all the demos. and gameplay they were showing.
That's not the same as the other games which looked really shitty from the get go and were mediocre to boot.
SoM had the production values to get people hooked.
>>344747524
He's a surogate friend for a lot of lower middle-class kids, therein lies his secret.
>>344747524
hes not, hes good at video games too and you can clearly see all of this in his oldest videos, assuming he hasnt taken them down.
I wish he would lose popularity and just go back to doing honest lets plays again, those were entertaining.
>>344747524
Im pretty sure he is a chill guy when he isnt screaming like a retard infront of a cam.
>>344747034
Me too. It needs a sequel that makes the combats not auto-winnable and deepens the nemesis and brand system so you play more like a manipulator and less like a Standard Action Game Protagonist.
The first game not having difficulty modes handicapped it too.
>>344745085
>pewds
>ever reviewing a game
The fuck? All he does is play it while screaming obscenities. That's not really a review.
>>344747114
Well there are different types of lets plays. In general, you have the shorter prerecorded YouTube clips and then you have the long Twitch streams. Both still have projected longevity, but from a marketing perspective for maximum viewcount and exposure, the smaller clips are better but you miss out on the interaction people enjoy in Twitch streams.
Twitch is very creator friendly and a tough nut for marketing to crack since by it's nature you have few guidelines and it's literally hours of unscripted action in front of a live audience. Although you can sponsor a Twitch streamer to play your game, you can't control the message very well. You can't edit out bad parts or suppress viewers that make damaging comments or observations.
The goal currently is to make shorter and more scripted Twitch streams to reduce the amount of variables present. In addition, we're trying to see if viewers can be segmented into different channels with varying priorities. Like an elite channel where the most trusted viewers go and whose comments are readily displayed to the streamer and a channel for random users where only select comments arw visible to the streamer.
>>344747560
Which is shitty because they've been know to do a lot of crap. Like giving the MK ports to the lowest bidder and look where that went.
>implying there is such a thing as 'justice' if it does not concern the money and well-being of the richest

>>344747524
Pew found a niche crowd of friendless youngens and basically ran with it. Now hes just trying to squeeze as much out of them as he can before he becomes like every other youtuber. One example of seeing just how much comedic value he contains would be by watching that vid with him and Conan playing Far Cry Primal, Pewds pretty much kept his mouth shut the entire time while Conan was dropping the zingers. Its just comes to the fact that he struck at the right place and at the right time to become as big as he is now.
>>344746867
Thought it had more to do that the dev was getting crashed by waves of retards coming at the gates from every direction, flooding his email and spamming all the various report functions on everything he was associated with. He clearly didn't want to deal with the moblin army pewdiepie has constructed for himself, so he went away.

And this is more or less why people think /v/ is a joke. From a marketing standpoint, /v/ is a shithole that's poorly optimized for advertising. With an angsty contrarian attitude and a tendency towards pirating, it's last on the list of many places that are worth marketing to.
This is why sponsored content on Reddit and Youtube is prevalent.

Why is he so formal?
>>344745680
I find this really hard to believe, that guy is too proud for that shit.
This guy makes a big fucking deal over frames I doubt he would take this.

>mods filtered viral for a while years back then unfiltered it
No wonder 4chan has declined so much. The mods don't act against cancer and when they do, it's too little too late and they give up. It took moot almost a year to filter reddit and take any short of action against ironic shitposting after the Great Reddit Panic hit in 2010. Then he removed the filter in a few weeks and rarely do people get banned for ironic shitposting.
Goddamn, why do I still come here? Oh right, as shit as 4chan is every other site is somehow even more shit.

I don't fucking think so. The second they come knocking he moves back to Sweden.
If he was smart, he'd have been siphoning money out of his bank accounts into a cash safety deposit box or storage locker just in case something like this happens.

How do I feel having a nice condo by the beach and driving around in my convertible Corvette? Pretty good actually, thank you for asking.

>If you're trying to make money with animation on YT reconsider.
Couple years late for that advise bud.
Don't you remember when people like Oney and Egoraptor just fucking stopped?
>>344748068
When we consider this by the sheer comparisone to Pewds audience a lot of what they may have said and/or done has been marked for the world to see. This generation has gone from "never share your personal details on the internet" to "Real name, address, phone number and such is required to register" as a user. And this is not including how everything you do online can and will be connected to your personal and public self in reality, I actually fear for the dangers of this generation. Bad shit is already happening but the damage is far from being over.
Humans are hypocrites, wow!
seriously, this shit its everywhere, no shit you can do, because in real life scenarios, if you are honest, everyone will shit on you, and they will not only going to feel good to do it, but they will believe they are entitled to do it.
>>344747520
Of course they did, you can't tell people they can't make negative comments about your product and keep being paid a secret.
>>344748172
im not giving you any hits shill
>>344746375
Nice.
>>344745085
Huh, really makes you think.
Wow totally didn't see this coming
>>344748192
Six fucking years of crying about reddit has solved nothing. There are many factors at play but the most important is the inaction of the mods, the only ones with any semblance of control, doing little or nothing.
>a shill gets paid to shill
>>344745409
Realistically it's pretty genius, most YouTubers don't give a fuck about integrity since YouTube is a career to make money for them and they have a massive audience that will buy anything they promote compared to journalists
>>344748234
Makes me glad I was never suckered into the whole MySpace/Facebook craze.
>>344748238
Remember that this board is for people above the age of 18. You can come here in a few years when you're old enough.
Why is this surprising?
>>344745085
No shit ain't happenin, you faglord.
It's going to be the ""gamer gate"" all over again, you just wait.
>>344747389
Most of the big youtubers pay people to edit videos for them.
Hell most of them don't even interact with youtube that much, they just record the videos and other people do the rest.
>>344745085
I would do the same thing.
>>344748220
Oney and Ego didn't adapt.
They could've made a lot more content off that 1 animation.
They could've done
>time lapses
>tutorials
>voice acting lessons
>voice acting outtakes
They just chose not to. They went the easier route of going for gameplay channels.
They could've built something better. They chose not to because they couldn't see the bigger picture.
>>344748334
And why would they? Moot wanted this to happen. Hiro wants this to happen.
Redditors browse the internet without adblock and pay for their games, and more importantly, tell the whole world they're doing it. People who use 4chan don't.

>He makes a monetized vid about how he hates shilling
>this must mean he doesnt shill
>t. i took money from square enix to livestream FF13-2 and I pretended the game was enjoyable
Have any of you people considered that maybe the impact of the news comes not from it somehow being an unexpected turn of events or something no one could foresee happening, but rather from there being widely distributed hard proof that makes the event not easily dismissed as just cynicism and conspiracy?
"He probably does this" is far less dramatic than "He actually does this, and here's proof"
>>344745409
it's sad, but effective. Easy money for the streamer and good advertising for the game. It's basically a celebrity endorsement when you get to Pewdiepie's level.
Reminder that e-celebs don't care about you.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ELIcrMZevBQ
And if you say that "I don't care I only watch to be entertained" That's pretty sad to be willingly abused by these people.
Jontron, Egoraptor, Slowbeef, VineSauce, Matpat, Markiplier, PewDiePie Rolfe, Bores, TotalBiscuit, And any other e-celebs I failed to mention do not give a shit about you the fans. Stop worshiping these people. They don't like you back.
They hate you the fan.
>>344748549
This is true, but ultimately nothing will come of it. The second anyone tries it'll be gamergate all over again and it'll get subverted and shut down by the corporations who own everything and know what they're doing.

Sadly Joe does have enough online presence that if someone at any company he sends that to got morbidly curious enough, they could find him easup enough.

They aren't your friends. Anyone who thinks they are, is a stupid autistic retard with no real life friends. Get a fucking grip.

but he dosnt do reviews, i dont get it.
>>344748414
>Something better
Honestly I doubt they would choose that route if the could change things.
They realized that they could simply be lazy fucks and rake in truckloads of dosh.Honestly, would you do it if you could?
>>344747602
>hes good at video games
He absolutely fucking sucks at playing video games and it shows.
>>344746859
i don't think the deal he can get for one game is worth the risk of having his entire audience backlash at him for doing exactly what he has been preaching against for years. it's too ridicolous and risky.
You dumb neckbeards realize companies pay people for advertisement all the time?
It's fucking normal in a capitalist. There's no Eviiil conspiracy about it.
Maybe you should get out of your caves once in a while.

I used to make $1500 a month and live reasonably well here in Americaland. Now that I'm salaried I still make about $40k less a year than that youtube faggot, but unless I do something absolutely retarded I'm pretty much able to do/get whatever I've wanted.
>>344745085
What's happening?
Autismal teenagers start a club again where they pretend they're the first in the world to discover tha someone would cheat or even break the law to gain fame and wealth?
>>344748603
Funny enough TotalBiscuit has spent the last few years hammering this point to death, as the picture shows.
Maybe a little TOO much, really. Lately in some of his streams he seems to be outright abusive to his fanbase. The cancer probably doesn't help either
>>344748603
This applies to literally every entertainer ever
Do you get sad when watching a movie because the actors don't give a shit about you? Who cares?
>>344746002
I wouldn't call it "soul selling" just because he choose a 10 year old audience, he isn't stealing or hurting anyone anyway. The only bad thing he did that I can think of, is that being so popular spawned a million other youtubers trying to be like him.
>>344745085
There are people that would lie on the internet!?
>>344748813
>muh fan culture
Outisde the US, not everything is "for the fans" or considered as if it ought to be.
>>344748813
At least he's dying soon.
>>344748859
>>344748813
People just suck the dicks of anyone they like and probably don't even pay attention to what's written, it's just OH HE'S TELLING SOME LOSER TO FUCK OFF, RIGHT ON! and then they vote/thumbs/whatever shitty scoring system you have on it and go on with their days because that's as far as they care about it.
