so? yahtzhees a british voiced aussie he's doing his bit.HotFezz8 said:im english, isn't this just aimed at yanks?
Did it ever occur to you that maybe he's doing this not because he was paid, but because it's a worthy cause that's both worth fighting for, and also one that's flying under the radar and desperately needs someone with star power to call attention to it (even if it is just internet celebrity star power)? Yahtzee doesn't seem like the type of person who'd sell out for just anyone who offered him bribes, especially considering this is a 'are games art?' issue, which Yahtzee has previously sided with the 'yes they are' camp. Furthermore, the ESA, the ones who requested Yahtzee make this video, are not a corporation, they're a trade association, which are typically non-profit organizations, so it's not like they're profiting from this. It's not like people who got to VGVN are going to make the ESA money. They're raising awareness that, hey, all those video games that you love? They could potentially end up censored and butchered if some politicians get their way, and if you don't stand up and make your voice heard, they very well may succeed. And you think you're safe just because you're in a foreign country? Yeah, no, because many games are still made in the US and will be affected by any laws it passes, regardless of whether you live there, which means you get double screwed because it affects you and there's nothing you can do about it, except draw attention to it so that lazy americans get off their asses and start actually paying attention to politics.PoisonUnagi said:Aw, he sold out! What a waste, now other companies will be bribing him to get their name in special episodes. I'm legitimately pissed off at Yahtzee for one of the first times yet. Shame on you.

Ain't that what you usually do when America is busy making a decision that has potential to affect the world at large?Balthassar said:So what are us, the rest of the world supposed to do? Sit back and wait?
Ooh, a patriot! Intimidating. Your American-ness is very scary to me. Let me continue being an insignificant little fuck in the corner while America marches forward and becomes the only country that exists. I'm sure it'll be alot better for everyone, no?mr_rubino said:"Companies"?

And thank you, Valkyrie. I'm sure at least one person read that.
You shouldn't care.. if you're okay with the potential of every game being as mature as Barbie Pony Adventures that is. If you, on the other hand, actually enjoy games that take on challenging story content or involve some level of blood/gore then you might want to start caring.PoisonUnagi said:Wait, remind me why I care again?
