[media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O9VjNSPdlIw[/media] I wonder if this developer is going to escalate this.
TB, Sterling and now Dan. I think game devs just hate brits.
its legitimately very funny how devs think this is a thing they can do
How the hell does the dev think this is defamatory? You can't just pretend old versions of your game didn't exist :v:
Why set fire to Latvia ?!
what is the streisand effect literally never heard of this game before, thank you devs for ensuring I now know its terrible
I don't know, I think a video for every l4d2 localization update would be very entertaining.
Developer suicide 101. Companies that do this are so idiotic
In what world is it ok to send a 48-hour ultimatum to someone right away? Couldn't they just ask politely at first?
Developers seem to fail to grasp the idea of criticism and reviews. This isn't the first time a developer threatens a youtuber because of some bad review
[QUOTE=darth-veger;50638371]Developers seem to fail to grasp the idea of criticism and reviews. This isn't the first time a developer threatens a youtuber because of some bad review[/QUOTE] These guys seem to also fail to grasp the idea of time.
okay i understand why the devs may want the video taken down if its outdated, as it'll be the first thing people see if they search the game but, now this will be the first thing people see, congratulations! people wonder why i don't send my early access game to youtubers, well this is why!
Holy shit lol that mail is laughable None of their claims would hold up in court, and their threats of YOU HAVE 2 DAYS TO COMPLY aren't even fucking legal in the least They know their shitty game failed, they know they're not gonna last, this is milking it for all it's worth before the fall
TB has made a video on it too. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVwF2kXwTS8[/media]
Its a weirdly cordial threat. It's amazingly polite yet its still a threat. It's not even like James Bond villain kind of polite where its sophistication or anything. It's like they wanted to be that and missed the mark.
[QUOTE=Crimor;50638611]TB has made a video on it too. [media]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qVwF2kXwTS8[/media][/QUOTE] Great, so just don't sue him for 28 minutes but after that you're good [editline]a[/editline] And he changed the title of the video so now that joke makes no sense thanks TB
This is either a brilliant marketing move or a huge fail from the guys behind the game.
[QUOTE=BusinessRed;50638061]I don't know, I think a video for every l4d2 localization update would be very entertaining.[/QUOTE] we already have VNN for pointless update news so [editline]3rd July 2016[/editline] [QUOTE=maeZtro;50638668]This is either a brilliant marketing move or a huge fail from the guys behind the game.[/QUOTE] huge fail pretty universally tbh
[QUOTE=Itsjustguy;50637864]Why set fire to Latvia ?![/QUOTE] I was confused myself about it. What did we do to him? Maybe because I moved to UK and live there and he knows it and doesn't approve it. :v:
Why not set fire to Latvia :v:
This is pretty terrible game developer technique. From what I've seen and heard of the original versions of the game, it looked terrible and had absolutely no redeeming features, that is forgivable. However, trying to turn the game into something playable without the knowledge/skill to do it is foolish, especially for a newer dev. At a certain point these devs that try to 'fix' a bad game just need to accept the diagnosis and move on to a new game with new opportunities. The original reviews will still be there anyways with the internet. Make a new game and learn from your mistakes, work on your craft instead of trying to fix previous projects, at a certain point every artist becomes dissatisfied with every project. Good on NerdCubed, getting sued over criticism is bullshit, and I hope this video and backlash bites the dev in the ass and promotes him to do better. Though I'm always doubtful when it comes to people; who instead of placing the blame on themselves, place it on others. /rant [B]EDIT: [/B]​/moreranting
am I the only one who thinks of this dude as "nerd to the third" and not "nerd cubed"
