Incredible. He actually has marketing power.

If that means that we eventually get a Skate 4, then hurrah for pewdiepie. If not, then meh...

I hope that he isn't approached to be a marketing tool by companies or retailers.
From here on out I mean.

New media outlets such as Youtube have been used for marketing purposes through Partners way before PewDiePie got popular.

Incredible how much power that man has. He should tell his fans to tell EA we want a next gen/PC Skate.

How? What could be so great about a video of a skateboarding game?
Of course he has been.

I'm pretty sure Minecraft can attribute a lot of their fortune to Youtubers.

The skate games were good for a laugh. I remember doing a bit of pass-the-pad with some of my friends and it was great. Finding certain spots and see who can actually land certain outrageous tricks there was great, but even better were the wince-inducing bails.

But youtube celebs are not real celebs and they dont have any influence, also they dont deserver to get anything for their videos or streams. They're all just stupid beggers that should get real job.
Ontopic: I love Pewdiepies personality, but cant stand all of hes videos. The character is just too much for me sometimes.
Super cool to see youtubers get some recognition, I think the medium isnt mature yet and glad to see it getting more mainstream all the time.
Wasnt there research little while ago that said "youngsters" these days know more youtube stars then "real stars"?

I know alot people hate him, i can see why, due to his fake obvious fake reactions.
i dont watch him, but i applaud the guy, he made him self a millionaire just by dropping a few 3 minute video reaction on games, and it does not look like he's slowing down anytime soon.

Exactly I don't like him, but this is good for the Skate franchise which is great.

This game with the share functions should have been awesome
If you want the next Skate to be YouTube bait in the vein of Goat Simulator, then sure.
Oh damn, if he does it i'll subscribe to his channel (but still not watch his videos).

He's the main reason why everybody knows about Flappy Bird. Saying he has marketing power is an understatement.

I thought it sold well because it's been £10 in supermarkets for over a year. I've always seen it in the Tesco and Asda bargain bin.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that this is the real reason.

Eww. 1 is so old and wonky. You'd have an argument if you said 2.

A video by him can easily outstrip even the most well positioned, prime time exposure trailer at E3.
That is power.

Watch EA never cite the fact that Skate 3 does so well thanks especially to free advertising.
This is suppose to be funny and worth 12 mil views? damnit with this world :/
