This is why I said white knighting is worse than toxic fandom, it turns consumers into tools for corporations.Then in a general sense - stop supporting toxic click bait - it harms the entire industry.

CDPR is rolling in hundreds of millions in profit on an unfinished mess of a game, but yeah, it's the "terrible gaming culture" that is the problem.There is constructive criticism, calling out problems, issues, false marketing etc.
Then there is feeding the rage monster and click baiting that has created a terrible gaming culture that regurgitates toxicity and bile.
No matter the veneer you wrap it up in saying "CD Projekt are all liars" makes an environment where people feel it's ok to go and attack developers, writers, artists.

Both are horrible. One promotes shady business practices and the other complains without offering tangible solutions which, at that point, is just bitching. And that behavior often leads to self-harm or threats.This is why I said white knighting is worse than toxic fandom, it turns consumers into tools for corporations.
I see your point and what you're saying but I think you're focusing too much on the title of a video and kind of missing the point of the criticism.Saying CD Projekt are all liars implies that every person throughout the company from artists, the writers, to the people who clean the office out of hours or handle the gardens are all liars and conspiring against you, when they only had their own jobs to do and those individuals are not rollilng in those millions of dollars.
It's a semantic shorthand. Sorry that we're not qualifying our criticism engouh to satisfy your personal standards of discourse. JFC.CD Projekt is not a person - it is the registered name of a company.

That's the problem.
Titles like the one for his video make it ok for people to go, well they have millions - I'll go attack this concept artist on twitter or facebook because they = CD Projekt.
Edit : I'm not saying don't attack the problems, I'm saying specifically to attack the problems - but words matter. How you word things to attack those problems, matter.

The fact is CDPR marketing, management and execs lied through their teeth over and over and over again. I just don't want to sit here and argue about the title of a video that you don't like. It's a silly thing to do.No, not at all - but we need to end bad marketing practices by companies as much as we need to stop normalising click bait.
All it does is feed the us and them toxic culture that is prevalent in gaming (and indeed any online) culture.

All good, your complaint is just not relevant or something I care about. The meaning behind it is the point and I sort of feel like you're just going on a side tangent that's really not what we're here for.And a YouTuber lied through their teeth to draw likes and views.
But you're right - we're off topic - so my apologies. Carry on.
