Good podcast. but (try to suffer through more than "but")...
Why do you have a chat if you don't like what some of them say, nothing is gonna change that behaviour and trying to find a suitable insult will surely make it more intense - Why don't you listen to me when I say don't say that = why don't don't you listen to me, when I give you this "advice" (thats a vortex of your own making).
Sports, splorts call anything what you wan't just make up your mind over what is what, there is no physical strain over gaming (just no, stop), there is physical strain in doing something that has no name now and everything under that can be called sports, even tho competition would advice way better.
FF male look isnt exactly pointed toward men, so I guess thats not aimed to anybody then, isnt that the whole idea of that hullabaloo, to have games that have no or/and specific audience.
Playing something else than you has nothing to do with separating fantasy from reality, come on with that kind of thinking. Not gonna start arguing over this again, just gonna say some characters look douchy to me and thats why I can't play sertain games and even tho customation would take nothing from the experiance, some of you (most here cause TB said so) think that is someway better, I don't get it, but whatever, this is still a reason for purchase...
You can't find any reason outside "I don't want to pay money for mods", well here we go again, (it's like you are doing this on purpose, all the while saying you don't make click bait, this is the same deal).
-While you say you wouldnt mind paying, why arent you then, there has been a donate button for my information a long time, so go donate, not everyone can get there money back by playing it on Youtube. But not like thats a deal for you, huh, all this make me remember Idiocracy (the 2006 movie) - "oh, you like money too, we should be friends"...
-If there is money involved all under different copyright stuff will go away, since you can't get money from those and no one will work free once this starts.
-Everything funny and/or "how dare you" stuff like nudity and you get the picture will go away, since that impacts now the gaming company and is under their thumb.
-From the first sales spike "the new thing" to leveling down (cause no infinite money), they will start adding reasons to people to buy it (this is something happening with DLC) and while this is going I suspect most of the modders will go under if they supported by this and this is how it will destroy modding, cause no one will work for free if there is money involved. Bu this won't involve couple of modders that will "make it" like you TB, you made it, thats why you can't see how hard life is anymore, you just go "that guy there needs money, I on board".
-Not that all the garbage from the initial start wouldnt be a problem, but that is maybe the real comparison (garbage = phone/IOS shit), they wan't have that in "real" gaming, not support mods, not make more fun, just have that money line of shit they have from phone games, but I already know how thats gonna be countered "those are not garbage", well fuck, call it what you want, but even you all gotta see there is a difference... maybe.
-There is more but I let you all chew on that.
Gopher was a good guest, I hope we have him again (even without mod related), but could we have some indicator on screen when no-cam speaks, I could be only one but that kind throwed me off track when watching.
This has been In-depth expert comment, not a debate, have a nice rest of day.
