This is an old video and an old version of the game, but it made me wonder whether having a Recepcionist (to get Deals from other companies) could make even more money in case some competitor derped out and offered to buy the scam IPs.
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.
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."
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.
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.

well done spiff.... well done

Random American: why are the harbor's fish tripping
Please play more Civ 6, and show us how PERFECTLY BALANCED the game is
This is an old video and an old version of the game, but it made me wonder whether having a Recepcionist (to get Deals from other companies) could make even more money in case some competitor derped out and offered to buy the scam IPs.
Q: "How do you make a lot of money really quickly?"
Spiffing: "LAWSUITS!!!"
Ah I see that once again the exploit is just "do what tons of people already do in real life."
IKR. This is not a glitch or a bug.. this is working as intended!
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.
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!
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.
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.
"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

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.
Rome 2! Been playing it recently and you've got me interested.
Damn it I need to stop actually drinking my tea while watching Spiff. I nearly laughed out loud and spat out my tea at the chonky cats running around in the parking lot. 😂
"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
*creates an empty git repository*
"Private Alpha version release announcement!"
2 bugs found
I literally died crying laughing when you got skyscraper inc. then said ‘we’re going to be needing a lot more lawyer’ I lost it

I think that is literally just a screenshot of Visual Studio being displayed on that monitor there.
lel.
maybe even eclipse?
*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....
I’m totally getting this. I look forward to playing Corporate Lawsuit Simulator
"What is a game dev company without any games?"
Me: EA?
"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 never thought The Producers would get its own video game.
Sweet, I didn't realize I'd be watching a documentary on the founding of Electronic Arts.
Very informative and clearly researched.
Fun fact: ZeniMax, the owners of bethesda, was started by... a Lawyer!
Really? Do you have any proof?
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!
Spiff: speaks French
Me: absolutely RATTLED by heresy
Me: Hears the word heresy.
Also me: Grabs Bolter
*Where's the heretic?!?!*
Great is the day I get to hear Spiff's soothing voice
This is literally just kickstarter but more honest.
"What if I told you there was a load of ways to make a ridiculous amount of money without actually making a game, as a Game Dev company."
Spiffing hitting a little too close to home
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
Imagine if this guy got into speedrunning, how many strategies, exploits, and routes he would find
"This game is very limited in terms of repercussions, at worst we just have to pay it back" This may be the most realistic Corporate America simulator I have ever seen. Spiff, have you ever considered starting a business school?
So, this is essentially Fallout 76 dev simulator
Edit: Just watched more of the vid, I just realised the irony of my statement
I love how he's vividly hating coffee in every video and I'm in the corner drinking both of them lmao
Ah yes, the EA/Bethesda strategy, well done.
Honestly, that tiny garage office is still a nicer setup than I had at my first industry job.
"Life is a perfectly balanced experience that is not the least bit broken"...Spiff then proceeds to use multiple exploits in Life's mechanics to make a ton of money by showing off how he exploits the mechanics of pretty much every game around in order to give a very English double-fingered salute to the game developers who enable his money-making life exploit.
"How about I told you, that there is a way to make a ton of money as a game dev without making a game?"
Sounds like Valve and Steam to me lol
@sTiKyt I know, Valve developed Steam originally for their own, handful games like Counterstrike and then they opened it up.
It's a miracle, that Jeff Bezos is the richest man on Earth and not Lord Gaben...
Nono.... Valve has quite sucessfully released the best game to date, and had people swallow the launcher pill to boot, in the form of Team Fortress 2 and it's many hats. Did you know Spy was based on a glitch in TF1 that allowed people to appear as the opposite team? In any case... I hope you're having a fantastic day, because SpiffCo recommended I say that.
