And what things do they NOT deep dive into that you think they should be deep diving into.

They completely glossed over horizon’s 60 fps issues at launch and said that was the preferred mode to play when it clearly had major issues

 

[Kacho]

and Far Cry 3 for some reason

People calling them "cowards" don't seem to grasp the fact that Eurogamer and by extension DigitalFoundry aren't really part of the crowd who's afraid of repercussions.

They're part of the crowd who will stalk and attempt to use their leverage in the industry to destroy peoples' lives for not following the herd.





@NXGamer when are we going to get your coverage?

In the meantime there's ElAnalistaDeBits:


The overlapping between Beyond3D and resetera users is probably close to 100% at this point.
Their sole active moderator has been working towards that goal for a decade.

I wholeheartedly agree with your post. NXgamer/IGN, Vgtech comparisons are more than enough. About 'ElAnalistaDeBits' though, i would like to remind you that this channel is banned thus inadmissible on this site.

 

[JaksGhost]

This game has turned all sides feral.

 

[mckmas8808]

They didn't have to make it political at all just a tech breakdown is all I usually watched them for

They are honestly afraid of the other site they like to hang out on and the backlash

While that maybe true, I think we are playing a dangerous game when "some" here are talking about unsubscribing from their Patreon or Youtube channel though. It just feels too REEEE to me. It should be okay that they took this silent move and we continue to support their great work.

Fighting DF feels too culture warish to me. Like who and what is next? And to end?

 

[SkyHighTrees]

so, so wack. John has been better before... Nowadays I don't really enjoy DF

Get woke go broke.

[MMaRsu]

Oh right, I didn't think you were being genuine, but we interpret the "I've no interest" differently, I read it as "I've no interest in promoting that game" not "it doesn't personally interest me, so I can't be bothered to make a video" as you suggest.

They love analysing new videogames, check the tech. They dont review the game

They dont care about the game itself, not uncommon.

They dont want to be harassed 100%

 

[Black_Stride]

You what love?

They specifically mentioned that they preferred the 30fps mode because of the issues with Forbidden Wests 60fps mode.

They revisted the title after the updates and thats when they stated performance mode was the best way to play:

Not the case in the initial video he put out

[Games of Today]

Pathetic. I'll cover it.

Fuck it. I'll shamelessly self promote to go against this type of behavior in games media.

I just have a small gaming channel. My main channel is centered around airsoft, the same as my name on here.

But anyway, I have over 4,000 funny and non-woke game clips here. "Games of Today" - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZym_PW74S_fjEcjE80MZig

Here's my gaming screenshot twitter too if anyone is interested. https://twitter.com/screenshot_tom

If any of you are sick of this shit like I am, feel free to stop on by!

 

[Portugeezer]

They're afraid of the people haired harassers.

Not the case in the initial video he put out

I remember that video, I also thought he said he recommended 30fps because 60fps had too many issues.

True too but I give money to DF for their tech analysis and to not cover such a monster game and for them to be active in REE leads me to believe they are avoiding the game because of the REE mentality thus they do not get my money any longer

 

[MirageMew2]

These people have a job. Fuck that.

 

[JaksGhost]

I think it's weird that some of you are lurking on REEE and getting upset with what their talking about and bringing it over here. Wasn't the point of this forum to deviate from them and their opinions but somehow they still got some of y'all in a chokehold.

 

[oji-san]

Will get the info from other sites/users here.
It will be their loss in the end, in the future i won't be interested in seeing their reviews/tech reviews, there will be plenty of info out there.

 

[Black_Stride]

Not the case in the initial video he put out

Which initial video?
What did they say in it.
Cuz Rich from the start said he preferred the 30fps mode.

Either way.
Assuming you just arent just misremembering shit they didnt "gloss" over it, they looked it over and noticed something and amended it.
Thats their cardinal sin??

Aren’t they a part of Eurogamer? Why would they need a Patreon?

 

[GnomeChimpsky]

Wait, wasn't Cyberpunk and CDPR canceled as well for being ultra transphobic? Why did they cover that one?

At least be consistent with your cuckery...

Their sin is that they’re not good tech discussion

Alex is another moron

demons souls is a far better remake that actually still is the bar

They are now not covering a massive game

Why are you defending them so much? Are you associated with them?

 

[demigod]

Ban DF. Ban any links from any site who didn’t cover this game. They don’t deserve the ad impressions.

Wow Gramps, never thought i would agree with you.

That's just false. DF does good work. They make mistakes and are far from perfect but saying that they're not good is plain bullshit. They're some of the best in the business. Alex isn't a moron either and he knows his stuff well.

I say forget taking the high ground. DF is siding with a mentally unstable group that got a woman fired from her job with her career possibly being in jeopardy, they also tried to get her husband fired. These are tough economic times for a lot of people, that's some really foul stuff to do because all she wanted to do was play a wizard. game, so they dug into a 7 year old tweet for something controversial.

The line has been drawn.

 

[SlimySnake]

Wow Gramps, never thought i would agree with you.

Banning things is how we created this mess in the first place. So they ban hogwarts. you ban them. they ban gaf. the cycle continues.

we all need to learn how to disagree with each other without resorting to over the top gestures.

 

[Spokker]

It's political.

That's Tom Phillips, Deputy Editor of Eurogamer. It's possible Digital Foundry still enjoys a degree of autonomy as they have been a huge driver of traffic to Eurogamer over the years. Like I said, Eurogamer shit all over Dead or Alive 6 but DF still covered it as if it were a legitimate game.

 

[SF Kosmo]

pathetic and unprofessional
should be named POLITICAL foundry

I don't see why.

If a company wants to lose out on the engagement on a popular game out of a principled stance, that's fine. If they're being bullied into it, that's another matter but that doesn't appear to be the case.

No one owes anyone coverage of every game. People are allowed to boycott if they want, they're not trying to make you do anything.

 

[Lions Gate]

i knew he was a cuckboy

 

[RoboFu]

Yet they are still making that AD money. lol

 

[RaduN]

You may not realise it, but you guys seem like a bunch of haters. Kinda like (more like exactly like) the ones you point your fingers at.

This is what reading through this topic feels like. You are slowly losing the upper hand here. Tone it down a knotch.

Alex RT Bugglatia is an absolute moron with terrible hot takes that are flat out incorrect.

Most of their work is just not interesting anymore. Not covering massive games is the final nail in the coffin

I’m not boycotting them, just ain’t going to have my feed notifying me any longer of any updates.

DF covers every big AAA game, so yes it is conspicuous in its absence here.

 

[RoboFu]

not true you can filter it. hell if you feel that strongly turn off ads alltogether.

 

[SlimySnake]

They've been more and more annoying and anal anyway. Becoming the Neil Degrasse Tyson of game youtubers.

ROFL

He has a bad take here and there. Otherwise, his PC coverage is excellent.

The problem now is that their videos are mostly pointless comparisons that aren't even interesting anymore. The XSX and PS5 are so close most of the time that they effectively offer the same experience and there really isn't much to talk about. And Hogwarts Legacy is presumably the only massive game they won't be covering but even their coverage of big releases is meh because there just isn't that much to say besides that some games release in questionable states.

 

[Salz01]

It seems pretty clear, they don't want to support anything JK Rowling is involved in and would profit from because she is anti Trans individuals rights.

I don’t know, or at least I haven’t read an official statement where JK has come out and said she is clearly and definitively against trans rights. All I have personally seen is her words and some associations are twisted it to a narrative. I feel her narrative is that female rights shouldn’t be overshadowed by trans rights. Again, I haven’t done a thesis on it, and linking to a text summarization on a ree thread isn’t any justification.

What the fuck is going on there then?

Spineless cowards. Never watching them again.

Same here. Unsubscribing from the channel. I watch to find out about game performance, etc. Not
politics.

Isn't the cowardly stance to cash them checks covering a game that enriches a person you see as amoral?

You can disagree on your assessment of Rowling, but one assessment isn't "braver" than any other. They're doing what they think is right and that's fine. Even if you disagree, no one owes you anything. People take this shit so personally, these days.

They're not lecturing anyone on politics, they're just spending their time on different shit, dude, stop being so dramatic.

 

[T4keD0wN]

Right and we are free to comment on it though.

Of course, action or inaction has its consequences. Its just weird seen some people act like they somehow owe it to them. Although i can see how being subscribed to their patreon or whatever and being disappointed in them (maybe) not covering it or cancelling their support in response, thats perfectly fair and reasonable.

I think if anything is “cowardly”, it is pretending that you don’t know what is going on and hoping people forget.

They’re not going to forget, this is one of the biggest selling games of the year. It’s like not covering Elden Ring or mentioning anything about it last year. That’s crazy. People will be expecting coverage of it. If you’re not going to cover the game, state it publicly. EG and DF are just trying to act like it doesn’t exist, except in EG’s case so many people were asking they mentioned it in the comments lol. Cowardly.

I just thought they covered videogames, not politics. That's why I'm out. They have the right not to do it and I have the right no to watch them anymore. No drama.

 

[Rush2112]

Apparently IGN has bigger balls than DF. You know what...fuck em.

 

[Clear]

Honest truth:

My belief is that any outlet that prioritizes their political views over serving the interests of their readership/viewership is unfit for purpose.

It shouldn't be acceptable in any way, shape or form.
