Well, yeah. Did you think they wanted to hire (unpaid) a bunch of sincere critics? It's a nice idea, but, no, that's not what the job of a promotional department is. Of course all they were/are looking for are people who will promote the game and be completely uncritical. That's just a given. It's not right or wrong. It's what the thing is.
You don't need them. They need you. But what the community needs is your true opinions, honesty, and integrity. Superpatriot is right. Time to bring back the old ObsidianChill. They are already gunning for you. You aren't a shill. Creator League is trash anyway. We don't need them to blow more smoke up our asses.

I just got banned from the official DCUO channel with a bunch of others by a power crazy mod. We were literally being civil and discussing things civilly and boom banned. Nothing I typed was against Discord policy but there you go. DCUO is totally being censored now.
@@susanoo6962 true, but the player base is a lot lower than it was years ago. It started around the time they started with skill point change, and them capsules 🤣

I knew you were gonna get kicked! There was no way they wanted an unbiased view on episodes and issues with the game. No shots on any of the other people in the league at all, but let's be serious. 1 creator focuses on styles and short details about the episodes and time capsules, the others I don't have a real clue why they were chosen. Also I feel they were hurting your release of videos by making you wait to post some content about episodes. Sorry for any money lost, but glad you stuck to being you and not being a shill...
"There was no way they wanted an unbiased view on episodes and issues with the game." Of course not. Their goal is to promote the game, not have it evaluated or critiqued.
the new ep just released and i hardly played it, im already burnt out from the game and now they are openly targeting creators who say things that they dont like, its like they cant handle that they fucked up and people are expressing their opinions and their feelings are hurt, maybe daybreak is no longer the studio to hold the rights to this game if they are just ganna fuck it up and not listen to the player base
I first played back in 2010 or 2011 and got locked out of my account for reasons I suspect to have been their server getting hacked, but I'm not sure. a few years ago I heard they'd gotten a new lease on life and actually had fun playing for a while.... but got bored of loot grinds. Whoo new elite gear... that you have to grind for weeks to fully upgrade..... no. I love the game world, and the stories at least used to be good. Some of the seasonal events are nice too.
Remember the good times and move on. There are other games and communities out there that'd be thrilled to have you and DCUO is a gut wound, it ain't gonna get better.
Thank You for standing up for your beliefs! Organizations that cannot constructively take criticism will realize that it will only come back to bite them. Instead of spending all this energy policing the creators, they should have made the game better and responded to player concerns.
They're so out of touch. They expect to slowly drain player's bags to fund the other games they are planning to support and finally shut this one off and do so with no criticism in return.
DCUO is on a Dying path every choices they made recently is so BAD ! I stand on your side. they just play the TOXIC POSITIVITY CARD . and dont want any critics. They dont want to make the game better ... BTW from a personal point of view you are clearly trying your best to test the game, promote it, bring news and informe all players about all subjects during all these years despite having a game dying and numbers going down. the Creator's league is a fail, everything is rigged, pay to win is rigged, test server is a mess we test the game for free they dont care about any feedback. CURRENCY is now a MEME ...
@@dariojovicic9346 nah i really think we need an independant studio. Because royalties and copyright make video game forced to be aproved by the owner of marvel rights or dc for exemple. But having a free from all copyrights video game is way better for creativity and artistic freedom ..
Not even a "warning"? Or a simple convo so you can choose to adjust yourself or just withdraw from the program? Holding people accountable and pointing out their shortcomings is not defamation, it's their mistake, not yours.
They kicked you because more people watch your videos than play the game, it shows how smart they are that they alienate a massive ally and resource. Game has been slowly bleeding out for years and now its gushing. The amount of cope from the real shills is hilarious
They don't mean legally. They mean that it's a negative opinion and that's not what the "Creator's League" is intended to do. Only positive opinions. It's not a secret. It's what the point of the thing is.
@@MsTickleFate-t1s Of course not legally, I was speaking moreso in action. It's just a creators league, didn't give it much thought to it being a teacher's pet collection.
@JYAF I'm not defending the company. I'm just explaining how it works as a business. They have a promotional department and it does things like try to get players to promote the game. A way they do that is recognize players who create "content" such as videos and streams. Their goal is to promote the game and give it more visibility while spending zero money. It's free advertising. It's a business. That's what they're doing. They are ABSOLUTELY not interested in having their advertising assets turn on them and start saying negative things. It's just that simple. They're not players or fans and they're not interested in being "fair." They're interested in making a profit for their mega-million-dollar business. Nobody who understands anything about how corporations and promotion works should be the faintest bit surprised that any negative words from a promotional "content provider" will get the "provider" booted from the program. I sympathize with Chill that he didn't seem to understand that that's what he signed up for, because I know he loves the game and wants it to succeed and be the best game it can be, but I also understand how it looks from the perspective of the company, and I don't see it as a an issue of right or wrong. It may have been a doomed relationship from the start. Chill isn't the sort of person, I think, to be interested in just churning out information with no opinion, which is all the company would ever tolerate. And there's little chance the company would change on that, I suspect. I mean, there are some managers who would be interested in publically engaging with genuine tough criticisms. But most companies wouldn't want to risk it, for various reasons. It's also the sort of decision that could only be made at the very top. It's pretty damn rare in American business, so far as I've noticed, not that I claim to be any sort of expert or professional business analyst.
It isn't defamatory at all. It's pointing out facts. The episode isn't finished and all he did was point out bugs. The whole definition of defamation is false claims with no evidence backing them up said publicly with the intend to discredit or make someone look bad on purpose. This isn't defamation, it's facts.
DCUO use to be a game I casually played cause I enjoyed it now it's seems to be super pay to win and not casual friendly anymore. If I'm not playing everyday for multiple hours I feel I get no where. It also feels like you can even play alt toons anymore cause of all the works it seems to take to gear up and level artifacts and such
Solo elite is trash your description of the puzzle is wasting time is 100% accurate! There is no point even having it their. And dont get me started on the augments that werent coming up on day one even after multiple visits to Harley. The giant grey shadow following me around in the new content is also aesthetically shit.😂😅😂 Ill hold off on getting that new art guaranteed that things going to be bugged to all hell if the episode is anything to go by 😮
There's like 35 players on this game and you are one of the best cc's. It's crazy to think they would do this to you with their very low player base. I won't be playing anymore.
This current management has no quality editor to correctly supervise the content. There is still no Current Event and Content in the forum section. Mepps name was still listed as current community sr manager months after he left. Embarrassing.
They kicked the stool out from under em with this one… Obsidian has a huge percentage of the views this game get at all on TH-cam, check the topic and recently uploaded to see what I’m talking ab…. *swing* *swing*
You’d think they’d want honest feedback to improve the game. You are accurate about many of the problems listed. And you’re one of the top creators - thanks to you I learned how to play. Not a good move on DCUOs part. And yes they’re probably reading these.
Are they actually too stupid to realize that they are slowly burying their game? One shitstorm after another... Well I'm not bothering with this company anymore, I'll never play this game again 🤷♀
As I said in my video from my experience in SWTOR this type of programms are strictly a sign of the game’s downfall and it’s strictly for toxic positivity so that make a few more money for some extra pizzas
I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm honestly not. Par for the course when dealing with this company. That ToS language is hilarious. I also like how they threatened you if you shared that e-mail, but didn't say how you'd be punished. lol Typical bullying tactics. All of this goes along with what I said in my video. "Petty tyrants thrive on vague regulations."
Great video btw. I watched it last night. I like how you laid your ideas out and enjoyed listening to it when I was playing DCUO. I remember you when Michael Grid did those Halloween Parties, a tradition (because of him) I have carried on the last 3 years. 👍
I don't think this game will last past 2025 if they keep going down this road the game is on. Ignoring tester feedback and releasing unfinished content, putting endgame currency on the marketplace along with all the other cash grabs, not fixing the art swapping exploit and the list goes on.
What a corny response. You cant be serious, and I would not talk at all about the devs; considering this community is ignorant as they come. Mostly DPS who listened to entirely too much rap music. Even if you have some sort of validity to what you're saying- this community cannot talk at all. Its a very ignorant/toxic community. The fact that you made this statement at all proves my point.
We've been expecting something like this for sometime. The dev team know that they are treading water right now. They aren't swimming the content is falling in quantity and quality every update and they visible silence anyone who speaks out. The game is in its death throws, I've walked away after all these years and time and money as I cannot support the direction the dev team is taking the game. Good for you for speaking out and telling everyone HOW it is and not sugar coating everything like the other creators do.
It’s wild to me for them to loose such an important content creator for the game. I know for a fact that I never would have kept playing without your videos teaching me how to play the game properly, thanks for your hard work
You always were respectful and adressed the issues the playerbase had with the content and now they try to silence you which conversely means they flip the bird at literally EVERYONE of us. Way to go. This episode, and how their management handles genuine critique, is the final nail in the coffin.
If you're getting criticism for your work, it's because you're on to something but it could be better if so and so is addressed. This means you have something going and you are getting attention from people who give a damn. When nobody says anything about you or what you do then they don't give a damn and you sir give give a whole lot than anyone else I know. Man keep doing what u do cause if u don't, we won't know what's going on. Thanks for all u do.
I'm a player that comes and goes since launch of the game. Few months on few months of, just depends on life and content. You are one of two content creators I follow consistently to stay up to date. You keep my interest to keep coming back. Seeing this video shows me DCUO doesn't care about quality and likely doesn't care about returning players. Silencing a quality content creator who is invested in the future of the game is unacceptable.
Was surprised when I read your name as part of the content creator program on that forum post awhile back, but figured that's a good sign for the game to pick itself up and finish its final years on a good note. Dropped that thought process awhile ago but now this further solidifies my thoughts. If criticism isn't welcome then this game is going out pathetically like a lot of other games in the live service department
The game is in a bad situation for a long time and now they pull this shit, they should’ve handled this better. At this point of DCUO you’re THE GUY when it comes to the game, we knew they give fuck all about the game for a long time but now they’re just saying give us money and don’t talk shit about it or else…
Hopefully the characters in the office don't turn the heat up this winter. They will melt when the heat is on. Missing Mepps n Nerd of Prey. At least they communicated with the population. Better than the deadly silence we are currently residing in. Keep up the GREAT work supporting you 100%
This Episode WAS NOT ready no feats for Solo Bugged op item retrieval mission via Mister Miracle The content is NOT good 48 episodes into the game and it is IMPOSSOBLE to have All released content be good this DEFINITLY falls under the NOT good category of content with AMazon fury pt 2 (2 solos with Legends characters 2 duos and an alert)
Explain how one of the last decent sized dc content creators gets removed and the rest are no names 😂 we ain’t got super patriot or orbit etc anymore obsidian was the last big name for a dead game with 0 future lmao
All of these things they removed you for is true. There was an unannounced change and that was the dead king scepter swap and they didn’t mention it changing once.
Someone like you that's been literally helping people enjoy their game for years. If something is wrong with the game you would think this is what you were put on for. To help fix it. They knew you weren't going to kow tow to them. You're the most unbiased, helpful content creator for DCUO. Man,fk a content creator group. They want you to tell us everything is sweet because a lot of players listen to what you say. I always have, you don't just talk about gear,auras and base items
Brother Obsi I am someone who also hates censorship heheh. I swear a lot on my videos and I recently marked my videos as mature for that reason. I dont want any problems with anybody getting offended or anything. Either way sucks you went through that I'm a new sub to your channel I used to play DCUO a long time ago I dont anymore. I am a WOWer! You should likely expand to playing other games. You have a pretty good mindset. I'll keep watching your vids from the darkness! Stay safe buddy and game on!
Yeah I didn’t think you would last in that. As I recall that community round table thing had a rule (official or not, I don’t know) that you had to basically be a good little cheerleader.
Daybreak is like this. They've always been like this. Welcome to the realization. You did nothing wrong. You never have done anything wrong towards this game or the community. You are, and always were, a better person than any of them.
Everything thing they’ve done has come from the players ideas on TH-cam, Facebook, Twitter, IG, Twitch, Reddit, & Tumblr But.. now They’re reverting creatively. It took them over 10 years to add the styles, bases, missions, characters & ally’s we listed everywhere back in 2011. The content hasn’t been good for years. The styles haven’t been great for years. This current episode is trash, af.
I'm sorry buddy, you're so dedicated to this game, I'm sure it hurts. It's not worth it for anyone to be a part of what this company is trying to do. I played yesterday with a blatant hacker, completely destroying the game. This is not a 'real' game to be frank. The game started out as a real game but now it's basically a phone game. It's filled with hackers, the company is ripping people off directly and the hackers are selling their hacked cash on LFG with no consequence. No one addresses any of the bugs until they give you something for free, then the game is completely overhauled to make you pay more. DCUO is just about dead. There's hardly anyone playing and that's because of the IDIOTIC decisions they're making to try and exploit the players while it dies. They won't invest anymore in the game and only want money for trashy, garbage tier content they half-ass their way through. They do not care about you spending real cash and finding a problem. They just want the money. Nothing matters, not your channel or influence, even though it's the only channel on this game worth anything. That's how stupid they are. They should be trying to include their community but they're too stupid and greedy for that.
Credibility is far more valuable than membership in whatever this DCUO content creator BS is. Take it as a badge of honor. Everything said in the video was true. "Inflammatory" was releasing a broken DLC. Pointing out the obvious isn't defamatory. The truth is its own defense.
I stopped playing this lame game years ago but OC still keeps me in the loop with his videos. Best thing to happen to my pockets is me Quitting this game... This current state of DCUO doesnt deserve you Chill
The content creator program was a foolhardy attempt to get known names on the forums to sell a product for the company that the company could no longer sell itself because it had become far too out of touch with its player base, putting profit before play. You content creators were supposed to be the buffer for that toxicity of that particular sociopathic business model. I have no idea why those people thought that was going to happen! You love the game, so why would you ever say that broken stuff is okay when it's not!? Then we would no longer trust you! So thank you for being open, honest, and level-headed dealing with a type of schizophrenia that common sense cannot argue with. People that have business sense rarely have common sense. Now that the CEO of EG7 has alienated relevant gamers from of DCUO and invited consumers in, it's going to squeeze the last bit of oil out of the cheese for those who are foolish enough to feed the disease and drive any remaining play from the servers by purchasing a DLC day one and walking out the door. Over the last year I have stopped doing bases, buying seasonal items, leveling head augments, creating base mods, building OP items, and any repetitive or counter feats. What a waste of code, and non-play. I have left any DCUO discord servers having to do with the base design community, and I rarely speak to anyone in game anymore since most have left. I stopped subscribing in March, only to be ripped off of my last month rewards. I have parked 10 of my alts, and I am "playing" 10. So I am logging into my main, ignoring the solo on all of my alts, doing the alert and one open world. My server, the EU server, is nearly dead on day FOUR of launch. I haven't participated in the DCUO forums in about 6 months and will probably never return, but read them daily and I value everything that you have done for the game, OC, and the fact that you were kicked from the program lets me know that you still have relevance. For, the people that run DCUO no longer do. Everything I have ever seen on the forums that players have asked for from the development teams has been used against them to destroy and limit play rather than support it, and that psychology drives players from the game and not towards it. It's a graveyard of walls of text begging for a gaming experience, and being met with silence. Well, everyone has heard you DCUO. Thank you for participating in the conversation--we have noted your responses. Thanks again for all that time and effort in how all buff system works for the trinkets backups etc for the core value of the game. Best thing you've done in a year!
I started losing faith in this game (still love that its a superhero and villain game) when they ruined the watcher getting rid of power regen and make it so it uses power for no reason
Struck a nerve, just shows that what you say could quite possibly be true. I mean you and I both already knew they were like this, but the extent they took... Im shaking my head right now. Inconceivable. Perhaps people will finally realize what I've been trying to say all along... Edit: I mean c'mon, they started censoring constructive criticism on the forum, that was only the start. -Raven Nocturnal
Obsidianchill now that you are out of the content creator program I’d like your opinion on my 2x art video and the reel that they sent me saying I could be banned cause of their forum guidelines. If You happen to watch it I’d say watch it at 1.50 or 1.25speed
I was honestly surprised that you applied ... remember after the information leak about the changes to the EoG artifact occurred, each of us who were then participants in closed testing received a "kabalistic contract" to sign if we wanted to remain a participant in closed testing... it was already clear there that we were expected to essentially voice only positive opinions and do the work for them without the slightest credits for us... I already decided then that the skin is not worth the candle, and refused...
If these people on DC aren't going to communicate with us the consumer? There are other games. OBSIDEON YOUVE helped me and my team out in so many ways. They made a huge mistake removing you. You kept it 100 % for almost 20 years. Thank you for everything. I migrated to Phantasy Star Online New Genesis 2 it's cross play and none of these issues
Content creators are not getting any info from DCUO, so how else are you gonna let them know. You my friend are the authority when it comes to artifacts, allies, powers breakdown. They playing dirty
They didn't ban anything! He doesn't need to be in the Creator's league. This video was to info us what the Creator's league is(a puppet show). OC will always be OC
Atlantis was the last good dlc they actually cared. Now it’s just a way to do just barely enough to make money. I quit a year ago and I couldn’t be happier. You make quality content drop this stupid game and make some money doing anything else video wise. This game is a bad investment. It was an amazing game that had everything you could want but it’s run by people that just don’t care anymore. It sucks they let such a complete game just die. I’m not a hater but I’m not stupid and it’s obvious.
Wow, figured they wouldnt handle straight to the fact opinions... ngl I feel so bad for the game, I played since beta in the PS3 and suscriber through the years, spent thousands (stpdly i know), it is sad it is super clear the spiral.
LMAO can you imagine them wasting time on youtube watching videos and reading every script to fish for the callouts.... instead of you know, actually working on the game, fixing bugs, etc etc.. picture them
@@MsTickleFate-t1sif there’s issues with the game the content creators of the game should be able to critique it. If no one critiques the game nothing gets fixed with how fucking terrible it has been lately.
@MsTickleFate-t1s but you don't need a program for that. People made content before. Whats the benefit from being in it. They gave codes a few times. That's it. There is no benefit I've seen. Maybe info slightly sooner and they post it.
I honestly now feel like the Devs do not care about this game or the community. This episode was not ready and your video amongst others who said the same thing. The adding of currency to the market place is making me not want to put money into this game anymore. I would rather play the test servers only and delete the game on my PlayStation. Like you I've been playing this game since beta and I would defend this game often but now I don't feel that way anymore. The fact they dropped you from the creator league shows they don't care about this game or the community.
Hi OC. I’ve been banned from the forums since last fall. Why? They don’t want to hear the truth from the community. I don’t know why they even have a forum if they don’t want honest passive opinions. This DLC is the worst I have ever seen. I bought my first augment. Then got two free. Daily missions are scattered all over the map. Have a wondrous day.

Great message 👍🏾
Selling currency was about the last straw for me. This only cements my decision that it's time to part ways from DCUO
I first played back in 2010 or 2011 and got locked out of my account for reasons I suspect to have been their server getting hacked, but I'm not sure.
a few years ago I heard they'd gotten a new lease on life and actually had fun playing for a while.... but got bored of loot grinds.

Stop supporting this game. The devs and owners show time and time again that they hate the community. Stop supporting them! Stop playing! Let it die!
I stopped when they added skill points with auras and other crap. They stopped caring about the game and only about making money. Screw em dude
This game has got out of hand I am going to still play but I not paying the monthly subscription anymore.
How is saying the new content isn't good defamatory? Are opinions considered slander? Whatever DCUO is puffing, I'd take it in bulk.
They don't mean legally. They mean that it's a negative opinion and that's not what the "Creator's League" is intended to do. Only positive opinions. It's not a secret. It's what the point of the thing is.
@@MsTickleFate-t1s Of course not legally, I was speaking moreso in action. It's just a creators league, didn't give it much thought to it being a teacher's pet collection.
@JYAF I'm not defending the company. I'm just explaining how it works as a business. They have a promotional department and it does things like try to get players to promote the game. A way they do that is recognize players who create "content" such as videos and streams.
Their goal is to promote the game and give it more visibility while spending zero money. It's free advertising.
It's a business. That's what they're doing. They are ABSOLUTELY not interested in having their advertising assets turn on them and start saying negative things. It's just that simple. They're not players or fans and they're not interested in being "fair." They're interested in making a profit for their mega-million-dollar business.
Nobody who understands anything about how corporations and promotion works should be the faintest bit surprised that any negative words from a promotional "content provider" will get the "provider" booted from the program.
I sympathize with Chill that he didn't seem to understand that that's what he signed up for, because I know he loves the game and wants it to succeed and be the best game it can be, but I also understand how it looks from the perspective of the company, and I don't see it as a an issue of right or wrong.
It may have been a doomed relationship from the start. Chill isn't the sort of person, I think, to be interested in just churning out information with no opinion, which is all the company would ever tolerate. And there's little chance the company would change on that, I suspect.
I mean, there are some managers who would be interested in publically engaging with genuine tough criticisms. But most companies wouldn't want to risk it, for various reasons. It's also the sort of decision that could only be made at the very top. It's pretty damn rare in American business, so far as I've noticed, not that I claim to be any sort of expert or professional business analyst.
It isn't defamatory at all. It's pointing out facts. The episode isn't finished and all he did was point out bugs. The whole definition of defamation is false claims with no evidence backing them up said publicly with the intend to discredit or make someone look bad on purpose. This isn't defamation, it's facts.
Thank you very much for the information Obsidian, very informative.
DCUO use to be a game I casually played cause I enjoyed it now it's seems to be super pay to win and not casual friendly anymore. If I'm not playing everyday for multiple hours I feel I get no where. It also feels like you can even play alt toons anymore cause of all the works it seems to take to gear up and level artifacts and such
absolutly right Obsidian! your right bro.
DCUO won't survive long with this attitude
Solo elite is trash your description of the puzzle is wasting time is 100% accurate! There is no point even having it their. And dont get me started on the augments that werent coming up on day one even after multiple visits to Harley. The giant grey shadow following me around in the new content is also aesthetically shit.😂😅😂 Ill hold off on getting that new art guaranteed that things going to be bugged to all hell if the episode is anything to go by 😮
There's like 35 players on this game and you are one of the best cc's. It's crazy to think they would do this to you with their very low player base. I won't be playing anymore.
you'll log back in tomorrow 😂
@@jacobbutler169 no. Haven't played in months will stay that way
@jacobbutler169 bro take the L, you got ratioed
This current management has no quality editor to correctly supervise the content. There is still no Current Event and Content in the forum section. Mepps name was still listed as current community sr manager months after he left. Embarrassing.
They kicked the stool out from under em with this one… Obsidian has a huge percentage of the views this game get at all on TH-cam, check the topic and recently uploaded to see what I’m talking ab…. *swing* *swing*
You’d think they’d want honest feedback to improve the game. You are accurate about many of the problems listed. And you’re one of the top creators - thanks to you I learned how to play. Not a good move on DCUOs part. And yes they’re probably reading these.
The beginning of the end for dcuo
Are they actually too stupid to realize that they are slowly burying their game?
One shitstorm after another...
Well I'm not bothering with this company anymore, I'll never play this game again 🤷♀
What else to expect from DEI? Monitoring TH-cam channels and TH-cam comments, but not their own forums!
As I said in my video from my experience in SWTOR this type of programms are strictly a sign of the game’s downfall and it’s strictly for toxic positivity so that make a few more money for some extra pizzas
I'd like to say I'm surprised, but I'm honestly not. Par for the course when dealing with this company. That ToS language is hilarious. I also like how they threatened you if you shared that e-mail, but didn't say how you'd be punished. lol Typical bullying tactics. All of this goes along with what I said in my video. "Petty tyrants thrive on vague regulations."
Great video btw. I watched it last night.
I like how you laid your ideas out and enjoyed listening to it when I was playing DCUO.
I remember you when Michael Grid did those Halloween Parties, a tradition (because of him) I have carried on the last 3 years. 👍
Obsidianchill sir, you were simply stating the issues at hand not making speculation...Complete bollocks on dcuo's part
I don't think this game will last past 2025 if they keep going down this road the game is on. Ignoring tester feedback and releasing unfinished content, putting endgame currency on the marketplace along with all the other cash grabs, not fixing the art swapping exploit and the list goes on.
This is what happens when you want to create with a team that all has rainbow colored hair. Say the wrong thing, and you are canceled.
I fear you're right. 😮

What a corny response. You cant be serious, and I would not talk at all about the devs; considering this community is ignorant as they come. Mostly DPS who listened to entirely too much rap music. Even if you have some sort of validity to what you're saying- this community cannot talk at all. Its a very ignorant/toxic community. The fact that you made this statement at all proves my point.
Mmmmm, yeah bro this a tough take. Especially for someone who criticized the game for something positive.
lmao so instead of fixinf problems they punish people for calling out the problems
We've been expecting something like this for sometime. The dev team know that they are treading water right now. They aren't swimming the content is falling in quantity and quality every update and they visible silence anyone who speaks out. The game is in its death throws, I've walked away after all these years and time and money as I cannot support the direction the dev team is taking the game. Good for you for speaking out and telling everyone HOW it is and not sugar coating everything like the other creators do.
It’s wild to me for them to loose such an important content creator for the game. I know for a fact that I never would have kept playing without your videos teaching me how to play the game properly, thanks for your hard work
You always were respectful and adressed the issues the playerbase had with the content and now they try to silence you which conversely means they flip the bird at literally EVERYONE of us. Way to go. This episode, and how their management handles genuine critique, is the final nail in the coffin.
If you're getting criticism for your work, it's because you're on to something but it could be better if so and so is addressed. This means you have something going and you are getting attention from people who give a damn. When nobody says anything about you or what you do then they don't give a damn and you sir give give a whole lot than anyone else I know. Man keep doing what u do cause if u don't, we won't know what's going on. Thanks for all u do.
I'm a player that comes and goes since launch of the game. Few months on few months of, just depends on life and content.
You are one of two content creators I follow consistently to stay up to date. You keep my interest to keep coming back.
Seeing this video shows me DCUO doesn't care about quality and likely doesn't care about returning players. Silencing a quality content creator who is invested in the future of the game is unacceptable.
Was surprised when I read your name as part of the content creator program on that forum post awhile back, but figured that's a good sign for the game to pick itself up and finish its final years on a good note. Dropped that thought process awhile ago but now this further solidifies my thoughts. If criticism isn't welcome then this game is going out pathetically like a lot of other games in the live service department
The game is in a bad situation for a long time and now they pull this shit, they should’ve handled this better. At this point of DCUO you’re THE GUY when it comes to the game, we knew they give fuck all about the game for a long time but now they’re just saying give us money and don’t talk shit about it or else…
It's a shame. Been a player since it's inception in 2011. Although it's still "going," RIP DCUO.
Obsidian it’s time for you to crash out bro, no more Mr nice guy 😡
Hopefully the characters in the office don't turn the heat up this winter. They will melt when the heat is on. Missing Mepps n Nerd of Prey. At least they communicated with the population. Better than the deadly silence we are currently residing in. Keep up the GREAT work supporting you 100%
This Episode WAS NOT ready
no feats for Solo
Bugged op item retrieval mission via Mister Miracle
The content is NOT good
48 episodes into the game and it is IMPOSSOBLE to have All released content be good
this DEFINITLY falls under the NOT good category of content
with AMazon fury pt 2 (2 solos with Legends characters 2 duos and an alert)
How dare you point out the obvious flaws and bugs in our crappy maintenance mode game?
This game deserves to die.
The game doesn't deserve to die, peak dc can compete with any mmo out there, what it deserves is better devs.
Explain how one of the last decent sized dc content creators gets removed and the rest are no names 😂 we ain’t got super patriot or orbit etc anymore obsidian was the last big name for a dead game with 0 future lmao
Sounds like the Concord's Dev
Im so sad this game has come to this. Used to love it so much
Hilarious. If they can't take genuine criticism then fuck em.
All of these things they removed you for is true. There was an unannounced change and that was the dead king scepter swap and they didn’t mention it changing once.
Thank you for always speaking your mind and giving us all the truth before they do their shady, lazy damage control.
Someone like you that's been literally helping people enjoy their game for years. If something is wrong with the game you would think this is what you were put on for. To help fix it. They knew you weren't going to kow tow to them. You're the most unbiased, helpful content creator for DCUO. Man,fk a content creator group. They want you to tell us everything is sweet because a lot of players listen to what you say. I always have, you don't just talk about gear,auras and base items
The way you can end the game in seconds. For them to remove you from creator league knowing you could easily end this game is quite literally insane
Brother Obsi I am someone who also hates censorship heheh. I swear a lot on my videos and I recently marked my videos as mature for that reason. I dont want any problems with anybody getting offended or anything. Either way sucks you went through that I'm a new sub to your channel I used to play DCUO a long time ago I dont anymore. I am a WOWer! You should likely expand to playing other games. You have a pretty good mindset. I'll keep watching your vids from the darkness! Stay safe buddy and game on!
Yeah I didn’t think you would last in that. As I recall that community round table thing had a rule (official or not, I don’t know) that you had to basically be a good little cheerleader.
Daybreak is like this. They've always been like this. Welcome to the realization. You did nothing wrong. You never have done anything wrong towards this game or the community. You are, and always were, a better person than any of them.
WOW, but you were simply giving your opinion on the product. That's messed up.
Everything thing they’ve done has come from the players ideas on TH-cam, Facebook, Twitter, IG, Twitch, Reddit, & Tumblr But.. now They’re reverting creatively. It took them over 10 years to add the styles, bases, missions, characters & ally’s we listed everywhere back in 2011. The content hasn’t been good for years. The styles haven’t been great for years. This current episode is trash, af.
I feel like saying, given Daybreak/D-INK commercial practices, it's time for a class action at the FTC !
Please make a video that will end DCUO for good. Please leave this terrible game. You are better than this
Please start dipping your toes in other games, otherwise when this game inevitably dies. You’re going with it.
I'm sorry buddy, you're so dedicated to this game, I'm sure it hurts. It's not worth it for anyone to be a part of what this company is trying to do. I played yesterday with a blatant hacker, completely destroying the game. This is not a 'real' game to be frank.
The game started out as a real game but now it's basically a phone game. It's filled with hackers, the company is ripping people off directly and the hackers are selling their hacked cash on LFG with no consequence. No one addresses any of the bugs until they give you something for free, then the game is completely overhauled to make you pay more.
DCUO is just about dead. There's hardly anyone playing and that's because of the IDIOTIC decisions they're making to try and exploit the players while it dies. They won't invest anymore in the game and only want money for trashy, garbage tier content they half-ass their way through.
They do not care about you spending real cash and finding a problem. They just want the money.
Nothing matters, not your channel or influence, even though it's the only channel on this game worth anything. That's how stupid they are. They should be trying to include their community but they're too stupid and greedy for that.
Credibility is far more valuable than membership in whatever this DCUO content creator BS is.
Take it as a badge of honor. Everything said in the video was true. "Inflammatory" was releasing a broken DLC. Pointing out the obvious isn't defamatory. The truth is its own defense.
The best comment on this video
And your the best person to get information for the game in general
Thanks for keeping your integrity Obsidian. We need more creators to take the high road and tell the unbiased truth.
I stopped playing this lame game years ago but OC still keeps me in the loop with his videos. Best thing to happen to my pockets is me Quitting this game... This current state of DCUO doesnt deserve you Chill
Can EG7 just sell DCUO to someone relevant please.
The content creator program was a foolhardy attempt to get known names on the forums to sell a product for the company that the company could no longer sell itself because it had become far too out of touch with its player base, putting profit before play. You content creators were supposed to be the buffer for that toxicity of that particular sociopathic business model. I have no idea why those people thought that was going to happen!
You love the game, so why would you ever say that broken stuff is okay when it's not!? Then we would no longer trust you!
So thank you for being open, honest, and level-headed dealing with a type of schizophrenia that common sense cannot argue with. People that have business sense rarely have common sense.
Now that the CEO of EG7 has alienated relevant gamers from of DCUO and invited consumers in, it's going to squeeze the last bit of oil out of the cheese for those who are foolish enough to feed the disease and drive any remaining play from the servers by purchasing a DLC day one and walking out the door.
Over the last year I have stopped doing bases, buying seasonal items, leveling head augments, creating base mods, building OP items, and any repetitive or counter feats. What a waste of code, and non-play.
I have left any DCUO discord servers having to do with the base design community, and I rarely speak to anyone in game anymore since most have left.
I stopped subscribing in March, only to be ripped off of my last month rewards. I have parked 10 of my alts, and I am "playing" 10. So I am logging into my main, ignoring the solo on all of my alts, doing the alert and one open world. My server, the EU server, is nearly dead on day FOUR of launch.
I haven't participated in the DCUO forums in about 6 months and will probably never return, but read them daily and I value everything that you have done for the game, OC, and the fact that you were kicked from the program lets me know that you still have relevance. For, the people that run DCUO no longer do.
Everything I have ever seen on the forums that players have asked for from the development teams has been used against them to destroy and limit play rather than support it, and that psychology drives players from the game and not towards it. It's a graveyard of walls of text begging for a gaming experience, and being met with silence.
Well, everyone has heard you DCUO. Thank you for participating in the conversation--we have noted your responses.
Thanks again for all that time and effort in how all buff system works for the trinkets backups etc for the core value of the game.
Best thing you've done in a year!
I started losing faith in this game (still love that its a superhero and villain game) when they ruined the watcher getting rid of power regen and make it so it uses power for no reason
Absolutely hilarious. Fck Daybreak. 🤣
Struck a nerve, just shows that what you say could quite possibly be true. I mean you and I both already knew they were like this, but the extent they took... Im shaking my head right now. Inconceivable. Perhaps people will finally realize what I've been trying to say all along...
Edit: I mean c'mon, they started censoring constructive criticism on the forum, that was only the start.

Obsidianchill now that you are out of the content creator program I’d like your opinion on my 2x art video and the reel that they sent me saying I could be banned cause of their forum guidelines. If
You happen to watch it I’d say watch it at 1.50 or 1.25speed
I was honestly surprised that you applied ... remember after the information leak about the changes to the EoG artifact occurred, each of us who were then participants in closed testing received a "kabalistic contract" to sign if we wanted to remain a participant in closed testing... it was already clear there that we were expected to essentially voice only positive opinions and do the work for them without the slightest credits for us... I already decided then that the skin is not worth the candle, and refused...
They cannot be serious💀
U literally did alot for dcuo as a content creator it is crazy how they did u for real but keep ya head up 🆙 always more opportunities in the world 🌎
It seems like they want the old obsidian to roast em
Don't change OC! We support you.
If these people on DC aren't going to communicate with us the consumer? There are other games. OBSIDEON YOUVE helped me and my team out in so many ways. They made a huge mistake removing you. You kept it 100 % for almost 20 years. Thank you for everything. I migrated to Phantasy Star Online New Genesis 2 it's cross play and none of these issues
Thank you for being you! Keep up the good fight Sir!!
Content creators are not getting any info from DCUO, so how else are you gonna let them know. You my friend are the authority when it comes to artifacts, allies, powers breakdown. They playing dirty
They needed you way more than you need them. You were keeping it real in your videos, the game is just a huge money grab right now.
They really are dumb like yes we have other dcuo content creators but obsidian was and still is the goat for breakdowns and they just banned that
They didn't ban anything! He doesn't need to be in the Creator's league. This video was to info us what the Creator's league is(a puppet show). OC will always be OC
Its corporate for you gave a push back. You’re supposed to agree with everything a corporation does
So they removed you for speaking the truth, yea I’ll be on the lookout for when you post a vid hopefully entitled DCUO is under new management lol
I respect you more better to be honest and be removed then be a puppet for a greedy company. Unbiased
Atlantis was the last good dlc they actually cared. Now it’s just a way to do just barely enough to make money. I quit a year ago and I couldn’t be happier. You make quality content drop this stupid game and make some money doing anything else video wise. This game is a bad investment. It was an amazing game that had everything you could want but it’s run by people that just don’t care anymore. It sucks they let such a complete game just die. I’m not a hater but I’m not stupid and it’s obvious.
thanks for being subbed for 5 years
For a game dying I would have been ok with this.
Wow, figured they wouldnt handle straight to the fact opinions... ngl I feel so bad for the game, I played since beta in the PS3 and suscriber through the years, spent thousands (stpdly i know), it is sad it is super clear the spiral.
LMAO can you imagine them wasting time on youtube watching videos and reading every script to fish for the callouts.... instead of you know, actually working on the game, fixing bugs, etc etc.. picture them
Out of curiosity whats the point of the creator program. They gave codes to give away. Big deal. Did they give inside knowledge ect?
The point is to promote the game. Completely uncritically.
No, they wanted them to sell their game
@@MsTickleFate-t1sif there’s issues with the game the content creators of the game should be able to critique it. If no one critiques the game nothing gets fixed with how fucking terrible it has been lately.
@MsTickleFate-t1s but you don't need a program for that. People made content before. Whats the benefit from being in it. They gave codes a few times. That's it. There is no benefit I've seen. Maybe info slightly sooner and they post it.
@@MsTickleFate-t1s yeah but why join. What's the benefit?
I honestly now feel like the Devs do not care about this game or the community. This episode was not ready and your video amongst others who said the same thing. The adding of currency to the market place is making me not want to put money into this game anymore. I would rather play the test servers only and delete the game on my PlayStation. Like you I've been playing this game since beta and I would defend this game often but now I don't feel that way anymore. The fact they dropped you from the creator league shows they don't care about this game or the community.
Hi OC. I’ve been banned from the forums since last fall. Why? They don’t want to hear the truth from the community. I don’t know why they even have a forum if they don’t want honest passive opinions. This DLC is the worst I have ever seen. I bought my first augment. Then got two free. Daily missions are scattered all over the map. Have a wondrous day.
