I’m totally getting this. I look forward to playing Corporate Lawsuit Simulator
This should be called: "Software Inc. is an Accurate Simulation of the Game Industry"
The moment he was like "we just entered the Beta phase and there's no game" I said out loud "Wow, leapfrogging straight to a triple A studio, just like that....impressive."
Hey, you are supposed to make a funny comment with no truth!
Rome 2! Been playing it recently and you've got me interested.
The Spiffing Brit: "how to make money as a software developer without making a game."
Chris Roberts and Cloud Imperium Games: "Hey, we patented that! LAWSUIT!!!!!"
This is actually somewhat real. There's all kinds of patent-seizing law firms that can shove their way into an industry by buying patents and then suing anyone who "infringes" on their patents.
“They’ll get catchy as soon as the psychotropics which I slipped into all of your cups of tea begin to activate”
Now I see why spiff was so obsessed in making us drink tea
"Everything Hrtz" LOOOL
Q: "How do you make a lot of money really quickly?"
Spiffing: "LAWSUITS!!!"
Spiff *drugs tea*
Random American: why are the harbor's fish tripping
It’s the Uwe Boll approach
1 Get a game studio/publisher to pay you tens of millions to produce a film based on a popular video game,
2 spend 1/10th the budget producing said film.
3. Defeat them in litigation/settle for much less.
4. Profit.
Sweet, I didn't realize I'd be watching a documentary on the founding of Electronic Arts.
Very informative and clearly researched.
Spiff: "It's all about scams..."
Me: *Sips coffee defiantly* "This must be the business model that Activision and Take Two use."
Spiff: "They fixed two bugs!? How they've managed to find bugs when it's only 2% art..."
Me: "They obviously deleted 2 pictures of ants."
Coffee you say?

Your weak teas cannot so much as stand on the same ground as our great and powerful coffee
Holy shit I busted up over the ants part.
@@danieldancza6171 **Drinks 99% caffeine coffee** FIGHT ME I AM SOUND!
Spiffing Brit - "There is a lots of ways to make ridiculous amount of money without actually making the game".
Bobby Kotick - "That's my boy"
"Sometimes I feel sorry for them, but then other times I remember what they made."
'911 Please state your emergency!'
'Yes, I need to report a murder...'
Great is the day I get to hear Spiff's soothing voice
Me after Spiff's intro: "you mean kickstarter scams?"
Lol that would be a cool feature for them to add, doing that instead of a publisher and raising less, less consistently, but having a much weaker lawsuit if you don't deliver, and different marketing advantages during development.
*creates an empty git repository*
"Private Alpha version release announcement!"
2 bugs found
"Lead a lawyer to making a game development company to make a lot of money." I dont know. Sounds a lot like EA to me...
I was actually looking for Software Inc. Game guide but I found exploits instead... This is so realistically marvelous, I remember a gamedev company who run a Kickstarter for their game but it ends up a scam instead... Years passed but no game develop but they got a hefty of money... Brilliant!
Honestly, that tiny garage office is still a nicer setup than I had at my first industry job.
Jukin media: running a giant extortion ring.
Spiffing Brit: T.A.F.A.T.
A youtube channel I've been watching for years just released a video the other day about how they're being harrassed by them.
Wait can someone explain to me what's going on with Jukin?
Following for explanation
@@thegrammarcrusader4085 Trying to extort MxR through licensing, they made a video about it, it blew up with many youtubers responding.
Here's a link to MxR Play's video that explains the situation.
I never thought The Producers would get its own video game.
Fun fact: ZeniMax, the owners of bethesda, was started by... a Lawyer!
Really? Do you have any proof?
"What's a game dev company without any games?"
Oh! Oh! I know this one! It's Konami!
*Valve
@@Alizudo gmod? Uh cs, half life?
@@newvigor9968
They didn't make Gary's Mod. Emphasis on MOD.
They also haven't made any games in what feels like a decade.
@@Alizudo ah yes, my favourite game. Gary.
@@Alizudo still answering the question of dev that have never made a game uh... think you might be wrong
Imagine if this guy got into speedrunning, how many strategies, exploits, and routes he would find
"H E K N O W S H O W T O E A T T H E L A W."
Weird name his wife has but who are we to judge.

Spiff: speaks French
Me: absolutely RATTLED by heresy
Me: Hears the word heresy.
Also me: Grabs Bolter
*Where's the heretic?!?!*
When is someone going to tell spiff that coffee is just coffe bean tea
''make a game without making the game'' oh i see kickstarter 2.0 this is
"Yes, our business reputation has just tanked into the floor but who cares because we have a ridiculous amount of money!"
This really is the the story of Fallout 76
No better way to enjoy my evening coffee than watching one of your excellent videos! 😁
"What is a game dev company without any games?"
Me: EA?
It’s like Todd Howard saw this is was like,” let’s do it”
This is literally just kickstarter but more honest.
I would love to see you cheese:
Sid Meiers Alpha Centauri
Isn't that just savescumming to have every random tile roll Alien Artifacts?
It'd be a twenty minute supercut of reloading saves, followed by a bit of rolling sixty alien artifacts into a single city and becoming a transcendent god.
That said, it is pretty funny.
This channel has just slipped up to my favorite very easily.
*Disclaimer:* the mug does not explode when filled with coffee, don't ask me how I know.
@@thespiffingbrit and so are you
You are lying, I gave one to my worst enemy and told them to fill it with coffee, needless to say...
He isn't alive anymore ;)
I have tested drinking coffee in the spiff co mug as well it did not explode I was throwing tea in the Boston harber while playing the national anthem oh ya
WHAT?! I will cancel that order right now.
@@thespiffingbrit mugs are for coffee, its why they are called.... coffee mugs....
This exploit has been patched out.
"Yes, I saw the video
The funding + lawsuit exploit has been fixed."
How did they patch it out?
@@hanro50 now companies will stop working with you after you do this once or twice
Why do we need this tutorial, E.A. has been doing this for years.
You need a tutorial because contrary to you, EA are pros : it takes skill to be a scumbag >:|
@@nathanjora7627 Deep. Very deep.
EA is a publisher....So they;d be the one's scammed.
1:03 That's it. I'm writing an SCP file on Spiff.
Subject class keter- SCP-10578-subject is able to find exploits in a game no matter how long they have been out or if non exists. It has been observed taking a perfectly balanced game with no flaws or exploits and ruining them. A test was done with a D class personal making a 2d game and making an open alpha, within minutes a video (SCP-10578-1) is made in which exploits are shown that were not previously in the game but after the video is put out the exploit is found in the game. SCP-10578 has the ability to it seems alter any game no matter age or time and add in exploits.
MadMonarch lol I like it but why is it keter
@@haysdixon6227 keter doesn't mean dangerous, as many believe. It means "extremely fucking difficult to contain". That's why 049 is euclid, while it can kill easily, and is dangerous, all it takes is some lavander, or a shock to keep it docile. Same goes for 096.
"16x the details" echoes in my mind while watching this video, this is great stuff!
"Make the player proud that he bought it!"
