Eheran, w The Problem with Linus Tech Tips: Accuracy, Ethics, & Responsibility - Gamers Nexus

What do people like about that character? When I saw him years ago he was clueless regarding technical details and somewhat childish. Did that change?

agressivelyPassive,

It’s entertainment. I think hardly anyone actually watches guys videos because of the details - which are often enough irrelevant anyways.

I think a lot of people look to LTT for guidance on PC components and trust their conclusions even though they’re not as technical as something like gamers nexus.

Hello_there,

People just want to answer the question: what gets me more fps" - or "should I get this one on sale? Or go for the more expensive version?"

Elderos,

They’re making mistakes on this kind of stuff.

NightOwl,

I don’t think that is the case anymore. Saw a comment in an unrelated thread of someone talking up how LTT takes the time to make sure their sponsors are trustworthy in response to someone saying to not trusted whatever products youtubers shill in sponsored segments.

So there is a number of people who do see LTT as a respectable and honest outlet that takes their recommendations seriously.

Eheran,

With details you mean the actual tests and what not? If that is the case, I highly doubt it. LTT is even quoted/referenced/talked about by people like Dave from EEVBlog.

agressivelyPassive,

I can’t really judge the tests, I know too little about them. My point was rather that these tests are not really relevant to 99% of buyers. If, for example, GPU A is 3.5% faster than B, but costs 5% more, but also draws 5% more power, is that really a relevant information for a gamer?

flower3,

Yes

agressivelyPassive,

If you think that, you don’t understand how statistics and computers work.

flower3,

I guess you don’t understand how gamers think.

BudgieMania,

I think it's mostly a "be first, be smart, or cheat" situation, and he was first.

By the time the other productions overtook them in quality, LTT was already established enough to not get affected I guess.

Ardon, w Critically Acclaimed PlayStation Exclusive Struggling on PC

I suspect it will see some more sales when it goes on a discount. It takes a hype cycle to get people to pay $80 (cad, in my case) and a timed exclusive of a known quantity story driven game does not have a hype cycle.

People want to buy the brand new exciting new chapter, they’re less keen on catching up to a now old story

NightOwl, w Critically Acclaimed PlayStation Exclusive Struggling on PC

Maybe try that simultaneous release strategy everyone else uses.

Maybe port the rest of the series to PC too, let people play everything back from the PS2/PS3/PSP/PS4.

Besides the original PS2 trio bundle for PS3 (and Size Matters from PSP to PS2), all the games are stuck on their original platforms.

Belgdore, w Critically Acclaimed PlayStation Exclusive Struggling on PC

The game is mid and the length of exclusivity meant that it lost public attention before the PC release. A lot of people who have PCs also have PlayStations and already bought the game.

Zana, w Telltale is back! The Expanse: A Telltale Series launches today

EGS exclusive, now I know why I haven’t seen anything about it. EGS is a black hole for marketing.

givesomefucks, w Cyberpunk and Witcher developer announces it's cutting 'roughly 9%' of its staff over the next 7 months

This makes sense tho, the big cyperpunk expansion is out in 2 months. So once that happens they won’t need as much staff.

As their next release approaches, they’ll probably staff up again.

SuperDuperKitten, w Nintendo's claim that emulation 'stifles innovation' isn't just absurd—it's hypocritical

Didn’t for Super Mario 3D All-Star, they just downloaded a rom of Super Mario 64 on a ROM website?
