It all seems so comical when think about it. A game is created and is reviewed, but it gets a bad review. So the creator tries to shut down the bad review. Well I guess it's like a government cover up or conspiracy; silence the truth. To anyone that watched TB's video you'll see he didn't go out of his way to find the bug, glitches, or horrible mechanics. In truth they practically exploded out of the clown car, after running him over in an 18 wheeler, that was on fire. Much like Day One I think this is because he's a popular reviewer. I'm sure other not so flattering videos exist, but TB has a wider audience which in turn a larger influence. He's not the only one to say it may be crap, but if those that do follow him see it and pass on the word.... There's an easy fix to such a problem; make a decent game. I'm not saying a perfect 5 star AAA title. Make a game where such issues walking through trees or getting stuck in rocks isn't a problem. Maybe a stealth mechanic with more depth than crouching just to pick a pocket. Yeah, TB is just evil for poking holes into that paper boat of a game.

Send lawyers to the UK? Why? So that they can call TB over the phone in the US? Good luck with that extradition hearing.

Also, fuck you, "Fun Creator".

But wait, ive got something even better!

This turned up on the GotW Steam forum following TB's research stream and the WTF is... episode.

Yes, we can take down the videos, but why?
We are not enemies here!
TB is free to express his opinion.

It's better to update the game frequently and add new levels for you guys, this way I am sure TB will re-review it again.

Thanks for your advice but don't misunderstand TB, it's his style which may look harsh.

It also seems the FUN Creators Twitter feed has gone dark for the weekend, not that this should be a surprise to anyone.

I guess idiots never learn. It's also a sad show of the industry that people are filing copyright on a video becuase they don't like what it says about their product. This is probably going to end the exact same way the original incident went.

Of all the people on YouTube they could go after they chose TotalBiscuit. That didn't end well for the Gary's Incident developers and it isn't going to end well for the Guise of Wolf guys either.

To everyone that seems to think TB is saving up for some massive rant video, I am not so sure he is.

When the Garry's Incident devs did this, he had it ready the same day, or a day after, I forget. For this one he seems to be letting Polaris handle it. I wonder if something has him spooked.

I don't understand how anyone could think this would have any positive effect for them.

EVERYONE hates your shit game! What's the point of attacking just one person who is bashing it when all the other criticism will still be there. Especially when you attack someone who has the popularity to make it even worse for you.

I think simply refusing to buy the game and anything "Fun"Creators make isn't enough. I say we make sure we don't buy anything for any developer who ever employs any the top guys in the team. Making a terrible game could be a learning experience but harassing people who honestly point out the terribleness of your game is something which should justifiably ruin your career.

Fun Creator then denied TB's "proof", claiming that the e-mail was photoshopped.

Photoshopped? They really said 'Photoshopped'? If this is the level of technical competence the developers have I don't even need to see a review of their game.

If he'd wanted to Total Biscuit could have changed that email in a text editor. But why would he even want to? I would think it would be easier to get the strike removed if he had evidence that it did not come from anyone with a legitimate copyright to the game. Fair use is a good defense, but being able to prove that the complaint came from someone with no rights to the game would be even better.

My favourite part:

Fun Creators said:
Trust me, FUN creator is bigger than a couple of videos.
Really? I checked your website [http://www.fun-creators.com/games.html]. Your one game's only claim to fame is being universally torn a new orifice by everyone that comes near it.

You are not bigger than anything

Is that real? I'm now inclined to think that they have had their email account hacked by someone trying to make things worse for them. They can't really be so stupid as to have sent that email, surely?

If I had coffee, I'd be sueing your asses off, right now. My screens and speakers would be broken! Anyways, this is just the weakest response to critisism I've ever heard...

Pretty much a moot point now; you can't really get more fucked than completely fucked, and they passed that hurdle a while back.

Just floating another idea out there. Does anyone think that Valve deserves some of the blame for this?

The fact that Steam doesn't have a decent level of quality control for its games means that terrible games like this will be produced fairly often.

TB, as a reviewer, will feel professionally (and morally) obligated to protect consumers from shoving $15 up their own dick holes, buying this thing.

The talentless, and apparently completely childish and delusional, developers then copyright strike him for it.

Obviously Valve's blame is well down the list after "Fun"Creator and Youtube but they still contribute in some way to the environment where this kind of shit happens.

Way to destroy your companies image before most people know who you are. I had never even heard of them until now and after seeing their most recent email to TB I can safely say I will never purchase anything from them.

Yeah, I'm willing to believe the email mentioned earlier, but this one seems kinda dumb. Like, phenomenally dumb.

Although it's kinda funny how they end that email with "Best Regards".
