Mark Kern is the saviour of gaming. He's doing the Lord's work.
Bring back Vanilla WoW Blizzard! Don't be stupid. -
I don't care about 5 second skippable ads, I remember what TV was like. Honestly, adblock was more of a hindrance to me than anything else.

Top down first person shooter.
You are the gun man in an attack helicopter, your view is from above down at the world.

Yeah, it is so true that you just get clones theses days. I can remember seeing about atleast 10 minecraft clones or the 100 copy of shooter x with a minor shift that really didn't change much or some weird fusions of games that just don't work out on steam. Sadly the indie games you can get that would have the possibility to play with things are either creating some weird artsy games with flashy graphics strange imagery out of a drug fantasy, games with unearthly bad quality that could come straight from comodore, games that jump on hypetrains and suck, games that generally suck and private projects that try to push a own story / agenda like depression quest or cibele that might even have a good basic idea but are executed so damn bad and are so over the top focused on just the story not caring about if the game is fun so that you can put it right into the trash.

34:27 this is an amazing point, I never thought about the past relation ship of gaming industry to Printing media,
It makes perfect sense why they loved us once, not so much anymore -
The SJWs went after TB for many reasons, but I think part of it was the arrogant expectation that they'd take at least a portion of his audience off his hands by doing so.
Instead, the SJWs managed to wake up a ton of people to just how despicable they are. -
I can't believe you would post this video without aggressive navels as the background image
-
The ability of women to poison men with a simple allusion to "child molestation" is disgusting and truly worthy of "Hate Speech" by any metric.
-
This is tiring to listen to. The guy says "uhh" more times than there are molecules in the universe...
-
Was that thing about the safeword exagerated?
-
No one remembers hero quest or Keef the thief here
-
I loved this discussion, especially the end. I"m excited to be a part of Game Industry 2.0.
-
Why can't everyone just chill out and play some video games?
-
Very good talk! Mark seems to have some actual points to take note of.
-
Sargon just wants a quite life
-
Suicide drinking game: Take a shot for every uhm, ahh and the like.

Lol Sargon doesn't know about CD Projekt Red and Witcher... or Cyberpunk 2077.

A "SORRY" Jar?
...Must have been a Canadian Guild Leader... -
You're doing a great job making money the way your are with Patreon and it would be perfect if the world ran like that but it could only work for content and digital products. I manufacture and sell fast moving consumer goods, I'm a marketer through and through.
How would a patreon model work when you have a direct cost of goods with minimum order quantities? You can't pay say 2 million pounds to fill a retail order and hope the public decides what they pay is above what you need. Nobody would bother and the products, jobs and everything wouldn't exist.
Marketing only exists because we need professionals to persuade us to part with our hard earned cash. We naturally want to hang on to every dollar out of fear. Like some evolutionary trait that keeps us fearing future lack of resources, a very rational fear.
For a capitalist society to function well this needs to be overcome so we spend more on products and services and create more jobs so others can benefit from the same system.
What you're experiencing is ideology and activism and that's tapping into a completely different mind set not normally used to make purchasing decisions. Your Patrons mind set won't be, "I've just Purchased some videos by Sargon" it will be "I like what this guy is saying and I want to help support him so he continues doing it."
This is why Anita can raise so much money for providing little value. This is why somebody like you who does provide value sees so much success so quickly.
The rest of us mere mortals don't have that. Poo bags for your dogs turds aren't very exciting but we need those products and those companies are doing a service by persuading us to buy them. Pet peeve of mine actually, some people literally need shaming to buy them. That's exactly what I'd do, run a 3 month multi channel ad blitz shaming the nation into buying my poo bags.
Marketing is just necessary and how else would we all find out about the products we love? We're only annoyed by ads that aren't targeted at us after all - we love the ones that are selling the products we desire. -
Personal pronouns are ridiculous. You cannot change your gender - you simply can't. You can pretend to be a different gender, quite convincingly in many cases - but you remain the gender you were born as.
