Total Biscuit arguing for no used game sales

Total Biscuit still crying

has the tenacity to bring up what is happening in Turkey thinking he has a point. That's that IQ of 150 going to work.

Fellow idiot cliffyb retweeting it as well, oh this is so good

Ooh looks like we got ourselves a badass. :lol
 
the only concrete thing you can say about the twitter campaigns: they may or may not have done something

totalbiscuit is literally unbearable, though, and always has been
 
Completely classless of him. Fuck his bullshit apology if he's still coming out with shit like this. Before this whole thing I just thought he was a dick, now I think he's a simple minded idiot too.
 
See here, TB:

#PS4NoDRM is confirmed explicitly by Sony to have influenced Sony's decisions on the DRM front and helped codify the message within the company, and also led to hundreds of news stories which increased awareness with consumers (leading to massively one-sided public perception like with the Amazon poll). That reassurance from consumers led to the confident Sony E3 press conference and Jack Tretton's crowd-pleaser, which fueled even more DRM awareness and pressure on Microsoft.
 
See here, TB:

Bah, just PR talk from Sony, no one ever reads twitter!

In all seriousness, the fact that you've been on E3 and in various Podcasts and videos over there, while just starring in a documentary about this our forum, as well as Sony explicitely talking about a GAF-created fan campaign while that guy still rots on Youtube trying to sell T-Shirts is pretty much everything there is to say about how important he is in comparison to GAF.

He should be somewhere on the GAF Agenda list though. People should be afraiiiid!
kidding :)
 
Why do I get the feeling that TB and Godwin's Law are about to collide? If he had the tenacity to mention what's happening in Turkey just to make his point, surely mentioning WWII isn't that far behind.
 
Has TB always been a complete douche like this or is he just playing a heel for the sake of some clicks? Before this incident, I have never heard of him.
 
So, according to TB, what should we have done instead? Either shut up or take our anger about some DRM policies to the streets?

Furthermore, is he aware of the fact that social media and twitter in particular played pivotal roles in organizing all kinds of political protests in recent years?
 
Guys like TB just can't admit they were wrong.

That said, he was pretty anti-MS all during this ordeal, so I'm surprised so many still want to dogpile on him. He didn't like the twitter stuff, okay. Move on.
 
See here, TB:

People like TB don't want to be told the truth, they want to continue to assume that they know what's best for everyone else, and if you don't agree you're either misinformed at best, or an asshole that loves dying children in foreign wars at worst.
 
Why does it matter to him so much to what extent the world has changed for the better? The protests in Turkey (duran adam!) are bigger, globally and socially more important, yes, all that, but even if this is a trifle thing in the grand scheme of things, this isn't nothing, if the world is even just one damned kiss on your lips better, whatever you've done: it was worth it.

A bit of both. His "WTF is..." videos actually aren't too bad, but sometimes he plays the contrarian to get more hits.

I'm pretty sure if there would be one indie company building a FoV slider into their game after he bitched about it in a video, he would spam every possible platform about how he changed gaming forever and what an important step for humanity that was.
 
This guy should just stop talking and hope that people will forget about all this before more people stop giving a shit about his youtube channel altogether. It's just embarrassing for everyone at this point.
 
I don't see what TB's problem is. What is the harm in hashtag NoPS4DRM or whatever. It creates awareness, and it gets it trending. Its not as if the hashtag itself is doing anything, but its not doing any harm is it?

I can't speak for him but I imagine it has something to do with people who literally did nothing but retweet the hashtag and keep spamming his twitter about it.

He has always been a douche but this is the first time I've seen him be this aggressively douchy to so many people over something.

Didn't this already happen when The Darkness 2 got patched with a FOV slider post launch after he told people in a video that they shouldn't buy the game because it didn't have this feature?

Twitter, videos, petitions, they're all a means to voice an opinion. Saddens me to see him downplay a medium's relevance like that when he should definitely know better what discourse a vocal enough group can bring about.

Fucking disgusting. Completely deplorable. False equivalence at its worst. I like his game videos, but it's impossible to have any respect for this guy after this.

In the early days of #PS4NoDRM he told us to write a letter to them.
 
One day I'll be able to share a story with you. But when that day arrives the story won't matter much. Evilore would LOVE it, though.

Share it now or shut up about it :/ Teasing is unfair!

This is vile. Using the misery of others to make a pathetic, anti-consumer argument. I hope whoever subscribe to his channel see what a vile person this guy really is.
 
Making grievances public has its importance as it can snowball things...yes private channels have their benefits too.

Looking through the bile I found someone asked that:
Totalbiscuit ‏@Totalbiscuit 2m
@jacobross_SF @nynt9 no, I think putting some fucking effort in to expressing your opinion is. Not clicking a retweet button
So I guess he means write a stroppy e-mail that will get thrown into the apathy pile and/or get a bulk answer after a few months or maybe do a youtube video that will get 6 views and three thumbs down because your voice sucks...

But he really hasn't elaborated on what "effort" means from what I can tell except "not a retweet" so I could be off-base.

Didn't this already happen when The Darkness 2 got patched with a FOV slider post launch after he told people in a video that they shouldn't buy the game because it didn't have this feature?
Wait TB moans about people being easily manipulated yet manipulated developers just by making a comment in a video? Nice.

Thinking about, if I was to pull the "but there's more important things" card I'd at least point at something we actually COULD change and have a voice in, like Health Care or PRISM. None of us can do a damn thing about fighting in Turkey, or at least most of us can't.
