PewDiePie arguing

[Tillion Magnet]

Spoiler below!

Guys I really think that Robo's post on the previous page brings up some very good point, and it would be unwise to squander it without at least trying to take it into consideration.

I honestly think that these videos are just another gameplay video used for promotion, and nothing more than that. If the game was given to IGN to demo a let's play (They do do that from time to time), I really doubt there would be such a heavy backlash. So why is there one when it's Pewdie?

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.

Think about it this way. They get what they want, and we just carry on with our lives.

Also I do not think there really is a type of "lesser fan", and "superior fan", only different types. Everyone can enjoy the game in their own way, be it through complete immersion, or watching it through Pewdie play it. Everyone has a different way of enjoying it, and no one should be judged for how they like to do it.

Yes, frictional will get what they want and we will carry on with our lives. BUT we have every right to be upset about their decision and I don't understand why certain people are just saying "whatever fricitional does goes", we have a right to an opinion, and a forum to bitch on.

If it were given to IGN, people would be also very upset. I don't know if we can call these just gameplay promotion videos when they are said by both dev teams to contain SPOILERS.

And yes, there is a type of 'lesser fan' and a 'superior fan', although I wouldn't call them that. The 'lesser fans' are the ones who just heard about the game from the pewdiepie vids and are jumping on the hype train, and the 'superior fans' are the fans that supported the game and frictional back when they were small and helped them achieve the success we see today. I feel that the Indie companies should always be loyal to the roots and humble.

Leaving aside the fact that your generalisation is the crudest I've ever seen, what of the people who have supported Frictional but also happen to be a fan of PDP? The two things are not mutually exclusive.
