No. You are wrong. Not everyone thinks that way. I decide if I want to spoil information about a movie/game etc. or not. Example: I still haven't watch Star Wars 7. I'm waiting for all 3 films to be complete. Then buy the boxset. Guess what: I decided I didn't care if I read some spoilers. I know Han dies, and why. Still buying the movies, once all 3 are done.

Congratulations, I guess.

Seriously though, I never said everyone thinks that way. I said your overall experience diminishes if you know all the spoilers. To say that is not true is a lie. I do not believe you..

If i knew Han Solo was going to die before I watch the movie I won't be shocked and surprised when it happens no matter how many times I rewatch it.

I'm still gonna love watching the film. Regardless if a major point is spoiled by me. I still haven't watched episode 3. But, I sure know about how it ended. With all the memes and jokes, with high ground. And NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. I don't rely on being shocked and surpised, to enjoy a movie. The overall experience is what I like. Half the time, I guess endings of movies. While I'm watching it. A lot movies and shows plaster too many clues. A person talks about a collar on the cat, in Men in black. And the movie bothers to show that scene. Guess where orion's belt was...

Is there any proof at all that playthroughs lower sales of games?

Certainly there are people who bragged about having watched TLOU on Youtube, I also personally know people who do it.

probably xbox fans, why brag about not having played the greatest game of all time?

But it's not a very good game

Luckily you can watch it as a 6 hour movie instead of burdening yourself with having to hold a controller to click through to the next cutscene

Playing games is hard work, luckily you can simply watch them for free nowadays while eating chips or popcorn and having a drink or do other things with your hands while watching the water drying physics of Nier Automata for example. You also have someone telling you what to think while watching the game to take the hard work of forming your own opinion off you hands as well.

None of Atlus' business. Throwing my Take your heart edition and throwing it in my cat's litter box. Boycotting this hot mess.

Makes sense. Why enjoy a game you bought when you can throw it away to show them developers who's the boss?

lmao, even if I wrote "THIS IS A JOKE," I'm convinced you would still think I was serious.

Be convinced all you want. Doesn't make you any less wrong.

This practice can be harmful for companies, since it's a single player that if a person watches enough can lose interest in buying it later. I would never watch a stream of a single player because of spoilers.



...Let the Sony Domination continue with the PS4...

How do you know they would have bought the game if they hadn't seen it  on YouTube?

My bro watched RE7 and now doesnt want to buy it.

 

Good, sounds like he avoided wasting $65 if he is content with a YT watch. Why anyone would side with the business here is beyond me. Ignoring he fact that the game has been out for like 7 months in Japan IIRC, people bought it and should be able to do with it what they want. I love that they are getting shit in for this by the gaming community by and large.

Just shows you how backwater of a company/group Atlus is when it comes to social media in the current age.


Its no wonder SEGA bought them, both companies fit the bill.

 

Even Nintendo doesnt go this extreme.

Nintendo claims every Nintendo Videogame for adrevenue, while this is a temporally thing to avoid spoilers for one single game. How does Sega look here like the worse guy?



Why i left PC gaming
