What I learned from Hatred is:Screenshots spoil the whole game...The MC's name is Jeffrey...People with guns are weak to fire...Money is money no matter where it comes from...George Clooney is wearing a hat...That last one surprised me the most since outside of movies, I never knew that Mr. Clooney wore any hats because his hair doesn't need protection, let alone to not be seen in public...

Yeah, it really is just controversy for it's own sake. Which can be fun. It's nice to see people running around like the world is on fire.

So Yahtzee's ultimate opinion on the whole GG issue and everything surrounding it is... "who cares", apparently. Can't say I disagree.

"More holes then the average clarinet" Every episode Yahtzee says something that should just immediately be put on a t-shirt.

"The only way someone can safely express their politics these days is to anonymously spend money. Hence why homophobic pizza joints can mysteriously acrue a million dollars in donations"

I know that reference! Because I live in the same state as that homophobic pizza joint!

That would get expensive. He generates approximately three new memes every week, and that's not including his Extra Punctuation bits.

As for this game...yeah, I'm definitely getting the same "WHO CARES?" vibe from it. It's one of those games that's controversial, but you can't for the life of yourself understand why because it can't be taken seriously enough to be controversial.

I will say though that I'm proud Steam actually sold the game. Maybe we'll actually get some legitimate not poorly designed AO games available now.

You know I do want to try hatred partly to stick it the people whining about it, and also because I had a lot of fun mowing down civilians and police in GTA so I figure a whole game based off it might also be fun.

What I loved is how some had fire extinguishers, and others marshmallows on sticks.

He probably doesn't care, but Hatred is not a GG issue.

It seems world or least the internet will never truly learn the lesson that the more you try to discredit something more often than not you end up giving it more power.

There is a homophobic pizza place? What do they do refuse to serve people coming in asking for a meat feast or ham & pineapple? God damn some peole. Do not taint pizza with bigotry, pizza transcends all human pettiness.

It WAS a tad frustrating that the SJWs had more effect on changing the standing of this game on steam than the conservitives and soccer moms that usually yell about this sort of thing though.

Watching Extra Credits make itself look rediculous by saying this game was totally different and wrong to exist than the violent games THEY liked to play was also disappointing to see.

Yahtzee's humor always makes things better, however.

Indiana had it's weird "religious freedom act" where businesses could refuse service if something went against the owners religious morals. one of the places was this random ass pizza place that went "we won't cater to gay weddings or functions" THE MASSIVE RAGE was practically as impossible to ignore as the grease on a cafeteria pizza slice

That is depressing. There was similar thing here in the UK with a bakery refusing to serve for similar reasons but they got taken to court and the courts thankfully saw sense.

Maybe the day we can stop focusing on proving how we're "The Good Guy" maybe we can move on and evolve as a species. But no, every time a debate comes up we need to prove how we're Jesus and the other guy is Satan.

And boy does it come out in stupid ways sometimes. This stupid pretentious game...

People rally against it thinking they're standing up for morality and people rally around it thinking they're standing up for freedom of speech.

What a goddamn waste of time and money.
