The coffeezilla of games. I'm not active in gaming so my analogy could be off. But I'm not into bitcoin or nfts and I like coffeezilla and Kira. So entertaining
I used to support Kira until I found out he killed this innocent game studio by personally flying to their office building in his helicopter (allegedly named The Kiracopter), tying up everyone there and dangling them off his chopper before divebombing into the Bermuda Triangle with no survivors including himself for laughs. If anyone is still a fan of him please reconsider and contact the authorities and stop this man before he goes and kills another game studio.
I have noticed this more over the past few years. People like yourself take the time to look into the development of a game and all you do is be like "This is what they said we will get, this is what were are getting, what's went on?" and straight away the developers start to panic an kick off with the youtubers.
They panic because they know half the bull shit (or more) they've promised is beyond their ability to produce .... at least quickly or for whatever goofy number they said they could do it for. Hobbyists who have no idea how to run a business have flooded the indie game development industry.
Corporations neutered mainstream media decades ago (mainly because they are media corporations themselves). So the status quo has pretty much always been that most media isn't confrontational, especially in topics seen as "unimportant", like videogames. That leaked into game reviews in the form of reviewers being afraid of giving low scores to big games or they risk not getting keys for future releases. In comes RUclips, giving a platform to independent reviewers who are more willing to be confrontational, but bad actors abuse the systems built to benefit corporations (DMCA's and copyright legal costs), and no mainstream outlet cares because they've been taught to not care about this stuff.
Funny how content creators have so much power to kill entire companies with just words. Almost like they were so fickle and mismanaged already that exposing the truth is enough to make people abandone them.

I've worked in blue collar settings, and I've worked in offices. How do you let anyone scream at you for 40 minutes? After two I'd have to interrupt to remind the screamer they aren't my mother, so they can stop trying to act like it. When I worked at Walmart I had a department manager who just loved belittling everyone. I waited till we were alone in an area with no cameras and made it clear to him that if he talked to me like he did others in front of people and embarrassed me for his own gain, one night he wouldn't make it out of the parking lot after work and no one would ever know why. He said he was going to turn me in, but "I'm a better liar than you have reputation around here" shut that down. I don't know, maybe I'm in the wrong here, but people don't just scream at you for 40 minutes unless they know they can get away with it.
Maybe there is some exaggeration in it. I doubt 40 minutes of loud, monologue-ish communication. It might actually have been both of them more or less yelling at each other.
My man, you have at least 100k people backing you up. Those are the hard core subscriber's who love you for what you are. Stay true and be painfully honest, no matter what. That's why we love you, and we will back you up every time you need us. I never gave money to any RUclipsr, but for you, I'll give my last penny so you can fight those assholes. Cheers.

Good on them for at least not doing a false DMCA for short term gain, and recognizing that it's not a legal method to suppress information and opinions and would come to bite them in the ass. At least they had the sense for that.

And it is happening faster and faster. You're awesome Kira, love your content and subject matter. You have a great head on your shoulders.

I can’t wait for dead matter to release! It’s a win win. Either by some miracle the game ends being decent then people get to actually play it. Or, when the game inevitably crashes and burns it will be interesting to keep watching the train wreck it has been so far lol
While the reveal that the vote of no confidence wasn't about the CEO is surprising in a way because it's a window into such a disasterpiece that it makes everyone (except maybe the CFO guy who at least took some kind of a stand) look worse for tolerating it at all, it's also kind of not surprising in the sense that Derek had been the one publicly losing it where we all could see already so it sort of makes sense that he was also losing it privately. Hope nobody makes the mistake of trying to hire this guy to "save" their company again...
it's quite simple... whoever claims to deliver a crowd funded MMO is incredibly misguided. The only exception (and I'd argue it's not even a good one) is Star Citizen and they are a quite huge beast in comparison to those small studios with way too much ambitions that they can realistically deliver. basically a low budget MMO doesn't make sense: Online games (especially of the MM variety) are so much more work than single player games. it's a real big investment in money and time so in order to get appropriate ROI: it really needs to be really appealing to a whole lot of players and MMO usually needs those players to be engaged for a long time (+ monetization) to keep the game afloat. Platinum Games's "Babylon's Fall" is a perfect example of experienced professionals who faceplanted big time because they had to do a huge Online infrastructure for Multiplayer/Live Service they never needed for previous projects and realised how much work they needed to do in addition of doing a good game.

I'd say it's actually bad business practices. You can lie to people for years and they won't care as long as you release a decent product and don't mismanage your money to the point of disaster.
