| Veknoid_Outcast said: It might not have been different. The game in question is excellent. But that's not the point. It doesn't matter if he expressed opinion A or opinion B. What matters is that those opinions could have been bought by WB. PewDiePie could have obscured any warts in the game because WB insisted upon their exclusion. If people want to treat his videos as entertainment, then great. But in light of this controversy, I don't think anyone should take his recommendations seriously. The whole thing is just slimy. |
His old videos all state in the description if they are sponsored, his videos that are sponsored since the FTC guidelines for youtube were created are disclosed very clearly. It's very easy to know when he has or hasn't been paid for making a video.
Also his videos ARE entertainment, in no possible way could PewDiePie's videos be described as "critique".
