    Steam Greenlight, while once a promising and perhaps even noble endeavor, became a shitting tip in a year.
    Greenlight, aka Greenblight, aka Memelight, a service that did not so much open the floodgates as pull them off the hinges and sell the bastards for scrap metal.
    Now it's gone, so let's give it the funeral it deserves!
    Bonus Content: Oh, Ubisoft!

    Imagine visiting your deceased loved ones with a bunch of flowers, strolling into the cemetery, then seeing a large man in a black suit, red glasses, gloves, and a red top-hat with a cane. I'll be honest, I'd probably come back later.

      The audience made up of his Boglins and other collection stuff. Preferably with his GrimJim-dark style that's really falling into place over the last year.

    I'm not a person who comments often, but I think I'm going to tell you all a little story today.
    Three days ago, I stumbled upon a.. well, not new, but not ancient, video of SidAlpha, a person whom I didn't know, who after a few videos didn't really appeal to me. That's besides the point.
    The point is that SidAlpha mentioned a name, Jim Sterling, and I thought to myself, "Who is that?"
    I was lucky enough that one of his videos came on autoplay just after, and I let it play. The music was a nice intro. Then Jim came on screen, and it only took me five minutes to say "Well, he's a bit of a prick, isn't he?"
    Three days later, I'm still watching this prick's videos. He's a classy prick. And he's entertaining. Well done Jim.
    Thank God for you!

    Do we have to preorder that new ubisoft logo? What dlc does it have? And what happens with the old iconic logo?

    • @Zorrent12
      @Zorrent12 7 ปีที่แล้ว +11

      Ubisoft is aware of reports that the newly released logo is causing issues when used alongside certain backgrounds and is presently working on a patch to assure it shows up when placed against these backgrounds. However, those who are eager to enjoy the new Ubisoft logo before the patch is ready may purchase a cosmetic, slightly darker blue alternative. Alternatively, customers may pre-order the founders pack to gain access to the retro logo in addition to the updated, bug-free logo when it is released. If you're unwilling to purchase either of these products, I'm afraid you'll have to wait until we patch in an outline or implement bevel technology to make the logo more discernible against said backgrounds. Thank you, and game on (or something)!

    • @omally7218
      @omally7218 7 ปีที่แล้ว +19

      A lot of Greenlight problems might have been fixed if Valve had banned greenlit games from using them. Of course, then Valve wouldn't have made money on those market transactions, so it's not hard to guess why they allowed it.

    • @bilateralrope8643
      @bilateralrope8643 7 ปีที่แล้ว +9

      Blocking trading cards from greenlit games would only have stopped the trading card mills who know that they are producing crap. The devs that think they are producing something decent, the ones who get angry at people calling their games crap, would still put their games onto Steam.
      Though there are some that are a mix of both. Like Digital Homicide.

    • @Noxedwin
      @Noxedwin 5 ปีที่แล้ว

      If you want to see terrible and/or careless video game content being made fun of, I recommend the old _Retsupurae_ videos.
      I have an axe to grind against _MLP,_ and in the name of respecting opinions I may disagree with, I won't address it, but I don't think _Age of Barbarians_ or _Chipper_ needs to be on the list. _AoB_ is still being sold, and it is *very much* going for a corny glam aesthetic. I assume it would be like if the old _Masters of the Universe_ cartoons were M-Rated. It was bad. _Very_ bad. But it is bad in a way that is extremely enjoyable. And just because it is bad doesn't mean it cannot be respected for the style it is trying to put on. If there is anything to hold against it, it is that some of the censor marks don't go away when the character using them is no longer on screen (such as the cowering concubine when *_that face_* happens).
      As for _Chipper,_ it is at least historically important - as a stepping stone that eventually got us the successful _Five Nights_ series. It would be like dismissing the _EarthBound Halloween RomHack_ as worthless drivel, despite it giving Toby a chance to cut his teeth before making _Undertale._ If you can use the experience from making crap you've done in the past to make something successful, I believe the aforementioned crap stops being a "failure" if there is a direct causal link.
      In other words, the one true failures are the ones you _don't_ learn from.

  • @Mafia200100

    You know whats sad about Steam, I make a point of avoiding any indy game on the store, anything I havent already heard of, or anything not from major publishers/devs I avoid like the plague. Its a shame because I know theres good indy stuff out there. But with the massive cesspit of shovel-ware that has polluted the store, it sets a precedent for indy games on steam, and its littered and cluttered the storefront so much I havent even bothered poking through the 10 game queues to discover new stuff, because nearly all the items in the queue will be utter garbage asset flips.
    They say the greenlight is so people can find and play the games they want to play, but it has the opposite effect. Due to the asinine volume of games on the store, the good stuff gets buried behind the 95% trash. It makes it so much more difficult to navigate the store and find something you actually want. Steam shoots themselves in the foot.

    Does anyone know what the side scroller where you're a fox with a machine gun is? That looks interesting.

    We've finished the 1000 Year Greenlight War arc. I can't wait to see what comes next after the E3 filler.
    Jim Fucking Sterling Son has been cemented in my top 10 anime heroes list.

    Jim, it's really nice to see you out of the studio in the black outfit and walking around. I have to say it brought a huge smile to my face when I saw you at the beginning of the episode. Keep it up!

    I'm disappointed. Filming in a graveyard and no ghosts caught on camera? What a wasted opportunity.

      Also daytime filming, ghosts are more partial to nighttime shoots.

      Nobody dies in graveyards and if you were a ghost would you even care to visit your grave? I mean what is the logic behind haunted cemeteries? As a believer I don't see it lol.

    I can't tell if Jim is too drunk at the end of this video or not quite drunk enough.

    even all these years later, I'm still astonished that there were people who made some of these horrible things and voluntarily paid 100$ to show them to the world.
