Pewdiepie talks about money - General

[QUOTE=Mio Akiyama;48153821][video=youtube;FFbVKL-Meo0]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFbVKL-Meo0[/video][/QUOTE] PewDiePie might be the Movie 43 of YouTube.

[QUOTE=Aphtonites;48148598]I could care less about him having a lot of money, what bothers me is the fact that he has far too much power - he's capable of single handedly forcing any game he wishes into becoming a bestseller without putting much thought into it. Games like Flappy Bird, Surgeon Simulator, Amnesia, The Stanley Parable and many more owe their success to him. Hell [URL="http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-08-27-skate-3-gets-reprinted-following-its-recent-youtube-popularity"]he even managed to bring the sales of a 5 year old game back from the dead. [/URL] It's setting a pretty shitty precadent on game developers. Why bother making a good game if you can tailor it for just one guy and the people who try to follow in his footsteps?

Despite this being a quick greenlight search, it turns out he's actually played a few of these: [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/fRvPw2E.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/4kdqbNO.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/K7bD608.png[/IMG] [IMG]http://i.imgur.com/dzKZkhH.png[/IMG][/QUOTE] I knew this would come up. Shouldn't you be blaming the developers for being sell outs?

[QUOTE=ashxu;48154193]I knew this would come up. Shouldn't you be blaming the developers for being sell outs?[/QUOTE] There's not only one culprit in these situations. Pewdiepie is part of the problem by playing these games, the developers are part of the problem for making them, and steam is definitely part of the problem for allowing devs to sell this trite for money, greenlight or not.

I feel like most of the people that hate PewDiePie as a person, tried to start up a youtube channel of their own and emulate his style, but it didn't work out for them so they had to get a shit job instead. I don't really care for PewDiePie's content, but I think it's pretty amazing that he can make so much money for acting like an idiot on camera.
