PewDiePie arguing

[Damascus Rose]

Most people here seem to be bitching about the fact that it is pewdiepie.
Pray tell, who would you rather have got it to review, Cry? When he rarely gets 1m+ on a new vid, I doubt he'd be good marketing. Nobody? Well, then the only marketing is 2 trailers and magazines, which are 2 trailers months ago, and magazines scarcely reporting on it with a few paragraphs if that. No, the community's reaction to this has been ridiculous and seriously out of order. If you don't want spoilers, or don't like pewdiepie, how about this: Ignore the videos -and- him. It's hardly an issue, and if this sort of outcry was raised at every other release that had youtubers marketing it or other big social networking/internet based companies (*cough* saints row 4) then I'd sort of understand. But the forums doesn't care about that, it's simply the fact it's pewdiepie that got it.
And frankly? I think a lot of the people here are simply bitter about the fact he, a famous youtuber who did market the original amnesia very well, got it over them.
I think that the people here need to grow up and sort out their priorities. This isn't about principles, as you'd have bitched about Saints Row 4 too, or countless other games with review copies sent out, it's about pure bitter resentment, and frankly? That's pathetic and I expected more from this community which I have been a part of for over a year.

I'm not upset at the fact that PDP got it early or that he's playing it, just upset that he's permitted to spoil the game so much this long before the release. It's a fact that pewdie is going to get Amnesia popularity and sales anyway, whether he makes his videos before or after release, so why did it have to be now? FG only recommends these videos to people who want to be 'SPOILED', and that leaves a huge chunk of FG's loyal fanbase that will not want to watch the video and will be upset that the biggest reveal of content thus far has been released this way. It's hard to not watch something like this when you're really excited for the game and have waited through 4 release date changes and a bunch of teasers for over a year. But nobody wants spoilers. Everybody I've talked to about this is upset, and they aren't even diehard amnesia fans. The only ones who appreciate this release are the oodles of pewdiepie fans excited for him to scream PIGGIES in a new amnesia game. Why do they get priority over the loyal fans?

Yes, these millions of 12 year old 'bros' will get sales, but I can't help but feel that the fans that have been with them and supported them from the start should be rewarded rather than antagonized.

edit: its also upsetting that instead of FG releasing a statement or something about their decision because of the overwhelmingly negative response, they let pdp make another video. wat. It seems as if they are ignoring the response and acting like it's really not a big deal.
