Love him or hate him, PewDiePie is influential in the video game industry. You Tube videos are some of the best advertising.

PewDiePie is incredibly important to the gaming industry, and we should be thankful that he exists. And I don't even like his videos.

True. He gives huge exposure to some video games, Skate 3 is a good example, but Amnesia is a better one in my opinion.

I follow the Youtube gaming scene closer than I do the videogames sales scene, and the impact that he has (and other Youtubers of similar size) on a huge number of games is insane. Five Nights at Freddy's is the latest game to undergo the "PewDiePie" effect.

I think Markiplier was the first one making Five Nights at Freddy's quite popular.

But well, of course he can't do as much as Pewdiepie, the latter's subscriptions are way too big.
