Why did you post a video of the 40 year old virgin?

10 bucks says he comes back as a villain

The first 8 minutes I was like "boy he has a good point". After letting what he said marinate in my head for a few minutes I realized that I wasted 11 minutes of my life. Because I can sum up his point in a few sentences:

His opinion was that gamers had it better in the golden age of gaming. His argument for that is lack of developing tools back 'then', necessity for developers to make games distinct from one another, and -today- developer laziness. Then he blames consumers ... wtf???

This video may seem smart at first because he discusses those points in a very articulate way. But he doesn't really support any of what he discusses, and his arguments leave a bad taste in my mouth because I really didn't learn anything new.

I didn't agree with him when he said that development tools negates the need for imagination, to me that's BS, if anything it should encourage it.

But I agree that the consumers keep demanding the same crap over and over again. Games get picked on for not being like COD/Madden etc, etc. If anything strays from the predetermined  path, they are accused of being broken.

Video autostart scared the shit out of me - that's all I have to add to this discussion.

thois isa another interesting video. 

A couple hours with the indie games available on services such as Steam is enough to debunk any such nonsense.

The very first thing he said in his very first video was "I thought about starting this off with some sort of introduction, but honestly, you don't care".

Fast-forward four years...

Ah, the Game Overthinker. I haven't watched any of his videos in a while. Every few months I will sit and watch 4 or 5 in a row. He usually has a petty good point, although the last few videos I watched had stupid plots instead of just making an argument.
