B-BUT EA DIDN'T PAY OFF STREAMERS FOR THE FIRST MONTH

You not only didn't answer the question but also ask people to jump in the pile of partisan bullshit they call their article archive.

I wonder how much Bethesda paid him, the man is a scam genius.

and?

Ninjax himself said on every apex stream that he was being sponsored to play it for 8 hours a day, the amount however i'm not sure if he ever mentioned it.

it's not fair bros

Hate the guy all you want but he is usually transparent about when he is getting paid to play some shit.

It's nothing in any industry.

What the matter? This isn't new, you think Snoop Dogg played battlefield at the event just for fun too?

Whats the reasoning?

id probably eat my own shit on stream for a million dollars

>Wasted 1 million on a game that died a month later
LMAO THE FUCKING STATE OF EA

>B-BUT EA DIDN'T PAY OFF STREAMERS FOR THE FIRST MONTH
Said nobody ever. Everybody knew they're paying for promotion for the first weeks when it came out. Streamers said so WHILE THEY WERE DOING IT, you fucking cunt.

he asked for a source, not their credibility

I literally work 11 hours a day everyday.
I build hotels. I'm in construction. I make 5000 hard earned dollars a month. This asshole exists and is a douchebag apparently and he gets paid 1 million. Maybe I'm doing something wrong.

Didn't someone literally say they were paid off but were having fun and kept playing?

You're not user it's just a different situation, but he has hundreds of thousands of kids watching him daily, kids who play video games and EA wants that game in front of those kids. If you had thousands of viewer watching daily you build companies in your industry would want to sponsor you.

dignity is worth more

lol 'dignity'
like you wouldn't jump at the fucking chance to play some dumbfuck game for 8 hours a day for a literal million american dollars

>muh dignity!
cope

Retirement before hitting 40 is worth more

Wait, what is the issue? They had an advertising budget and used it to market their game to tons of young kids, crazy!

How young/naive do you have to be to still not realize sometimes people just get fucking lucky? There are alot of lucky douchebags in the world, no point losing sleep over it.

He's among the top 0.1% at what he does, no matter how silly or overpaid it seems to you - and he has hundreds of thousands of people who watch him do it. People that might be swayed to buy a product if he shows he loves it.

i dont recall saying i had any

Media influencers are paid by the media the provide influence - well fuck my oiled up rectum this is truely shocking.

We live in a time where someone sits in front of a screen for 8 hours and gets paid more than doctors to move their thumbs. Imagine going back even thirty years and showing people this.

There have always been extremely well paid athletes, as long as we've had sports and/or advertisements. Gladiators have had merchandise with their likeness sold in front of the Circus.

imagine going back and showing them something cool though, like a really fast car or some sort of animal.

This isn't anything new though, the only new part is video games are getting this kind of money now. The same can be said for sports athletes.

Actors make more than doctors despite doing the same thing
>b-but acting takes skill!

Shit man, I dunno. That's a lot of money.

Wow, that's fucking deep.

What would some zoomer know about dignity?

wouldnt this mean they dont NEED video game developers. we dont NEED video games. we dont NEED this haitian mosaic enthusiast forum.

Well yeah, millennials have literally nothing more in their lives beyond celebrity worship.

he does entertain a large number of people while you are ultimately a faceless replaceable worker
granted he maybe gets a bit too much but he definitely deserves more money than you

Ah yes good old inter generational shit flinging, good to see you guys fell into that meme like every past generation

dignity is worth nothing

said no one. Every streamer had AD in their titles, because they have to.

Yeah, except this time, instead of older generations shittong on the newer ones, it's everyone shitting on millennials.
Justified, though.

Fuck off with your nazi shit

One more reason to steer clear from "current industry gimmick game".
At least what I'm playing now didn't need 1 mill streamer bribes to convince people it's good, so whatevs, I'm good.

No shit.
Anyone who thought streamers weren't paid to play that flavor of the month is a tool.

As if being in construction and "earning a hard day's pay" makes you have more "dignity" than playing a video game.

Maybe this kind of anger problems is why you're a blue collar pleb lacking higher education.

Did you get this from dad's facebook page?

>WAAAHH WHY DOESN'T EVERYONE SERVE MEEEEEE?

i'm not him you dumbass but he deserves more money any of the streamers out there. And fucking implying that they have any education lol. All of the streamers are high school or uni dropouts without any skill, talent, or education. I wish that fucking industry would collapse and they'd find a real job

Of course. You'll get it eventually.

Kotaku once said Sword Art Online is the smartest anime ever made. I don't care if they were right about anything else, no one saying something that stupid should ever have a shred of credibility.

That's only because millennials are the first gen since the boomers to actually have a name that sticks in common parlance. People misuse it all the time.

Boomers say "millennial" when they're talking about teens. But the youngest millennial is 20-22, and the oldest millennial is near 40.

what the fuck does that have to do with Trump
celebs are fucking cancer and you know it unless your a normie shit who stands in crowds screeching when your idol passes by

they paid a lot of streamers to stream it the first few weeks and a lot of them continued playing it after

They seem to have enough skill and talent to make more money shilling a shit game for a week than you will in a lifetime.

Where did this guy even come from? I hadn't even heard his name until a few months ago, but apparently he's the new big personality

This was actually a nice adverisement from EA's side. Think of it that way: they could invest in Anthem which is already shit and we all knew it was gonna be shit before it launched. Instead, they invested in advertising Apex which turned out to be a great game. Not that it was a surprise. It's made by Respawn, after all. Respawn gained recognition, Titanfall playerbase count jumped up, honest, player-friendly devs (Respawn) gained money for the development of another game that afaik is coming in fall.

Respawn Entertainment makes good games and this was a good advertising campaign. If you have shitload of money you can spend on marketing then why not use it?

>what is marketing

You work in a profession known for having truckloads of spics do your job for a fraction of your pay. Physical labor isn't a career anymore.

He rode the battle royal wave

>However, they said that the paid streams were short-lived; after midday on February 5, the day after release

He's been around since near the beginning of Fortnite and got big after mommy and daddy paid Drake to play Fortnite with him. He's pretty decent but there are people who shit on him easily who don't have near the following or recognition he does.

he's been around since h1z1, grew in popularity by switching to whatever was popular and staying consistent
he's kinda like the twitch version of pdp

I never heard of him either until he did that stream with Drake that got a million viewers or whatever.

I wish blue colar workers would pick up a book and get a real job, we'd be in fully automated luxury hetrosexual space capitalism if it wasn't for them whining about MUH JOBS!!!!!

good lord imagine being a successful streamer

>heterosexual

Lots of indie developers pay popular yourubers to play their game, what's the difference?

No we wouldn't because corps would just import labor to fill the gap because it's cheaper and done on the tax payer's dime. Apple and other silicon valley companies didn't throw a fit about the H1B1 issue because they cared about those people, they did it because it would hurt their bottom line of cheap labor willing to do a job for a fraction of the price most in the states would.

Can I get a "cringe" in chat for my boy here

Big company bad

No it isn't. You don't even lose any dignity by being a streamer, and in the process you become a millionaire. Sounds pretty fucking good.

are you legitimately retarded or are you one of them? They are living billboards, your sentence contradicted itself, it takes 0 skill to play a shitty game and say that it's good and the video was sponsored by x company

Literal lifesavers are being paid less than some acne infused lanky nerd who screams at a monitor screen 8 hours per day.

simply because i'm not an extrovert, i couldn't make videos of myself + i'm not lucky to be picked up by every game publisher ever

Wait, people actually thought Apex wasn't paying streamers?

Anyone who watches twitch could tell you that the growth in popularity was completely artificial.

Who the fuck is this guy and why does he have blue anime hair?

>invest 1 million in some streamer

I like my situation? I just think its silly that people cling to shitty jobs because "a-at least its HONEST and DIGNIFIED work!"

When you'll die poor, think back to this attitude so it won't come as a surprise.

How do you cope with the fact that life is this unfair? That this faggot is making more money than doctors, surgeons, plumbers and soldiers will in their lifetime?

Like how can you just 'deal with it'?

He'll be dead, there won't be any thoughts

No one said apex didn't support streamers you falseflagging faggot

The same way that we've dealt with it since the day man separated himself from the beasts. We don't let it preoccupy our time or we begrudge it with our fellows

Do you have Down Syndrome, seriously?

Why should I care?

I don't really care all that much. Obviously life is unfair. Obviously a lot of people got it better than me but I got it better than a lot of other people so all good.

Game is actually good this, ofc it'll pay streamers to play their game, it had 0 marketing before release

People need entertainment. It relieves stress. It saves one from boredom.
No one wants to go to a doctor's office in between doctor visits, because it's cold, quiet, and sterile.

Once you just accept that life has never and will never be fair, makes it easier to live with. We all have to deal with the cards we've been dealt in life. Ninja was blessed with an objectively nice looking physique and a personality attractive to an impressionable group with disposable income. While there are ugly ass, dumb fuck bums on the street with a personality of a rock. Have and have nots is the basis of nature.

i'm studying Computer Science at uni, checkmate atheist

Life is simply unfair.

Because being mad about milllionaire streamers doesn't improve my life in any way.

>I just think its silly that people cling to shitty jobs because "a-at least its HONEST and DIGNIFIED work!"
They don't cling to those jobs cause of dignity. They cling to them cause they have bills to pay and don't have time to get the education to get better paying ones. Which I might add that even the higher education jobs aren't paying well anymore cause of immigration and H1B1s. Which is why I said you would still be in the same situation cause you would have a massive amount of people now trying to get white collar jobs. Lets not also forget the fact that It's not only blue collar workers that were hit hard by stagnant wages but all people except the top 10% of earners. There's an economic graph showing wage growth for the entire world broken up by earnings. the bottom 1% to 69% have seen massive wage growth. But the problem is the 70% to 90% have loss money in the last ten years and that earning group is the majority of the US population. While the top 10% of earners made more money in the last ten years. This is a huge problem.

>but he deserves more money any of the streamers out there.
Are you serious? Have you watched any streamers except the top? It's a freaking hard industry that everyone is trying to get into right now. The competition is even higher than being a fucking construction worker.

I would never become a streamer/youtuber but hell, the folks that succeeds there have my respect. Hard work pays off. Just sucks that people ignore the part where they were nobodies and only look at how they are doing right now.

Of course they may have paid other streamers too

Are you some ADD ADHD spazzing autist who can't have a moment of respite once in a while? I bet you're like every other faggot who can't even socialize normally anymore without having a phone glued to their hand.

Entertainment doesn't have to cost millions to come up with, the moment there's big money involved, it becomes soulless execution and it doesn't involve "entertaining" anymore, it's just people making fools of themselves for money, not for the cause itself

i never even installed it and i don't watch people stream apex

That's an opinion, not a fact.

So do I, but I sure would pretend to like a fotm genre for that kind of money.
And don't pretend you wouldn't do the same, especially keeping in mind the extra revenue from twitch itself.

Only children watch streamers. If you own a Twitch account, you should neck yourself. If you've spent a single dime on a Streamer, I hope someone in your family massacres you and your siblings in your sleep.

Why do brainlets try to into industry? Why do I care about multimillion dollar companies advertising as they should with that kind of money? I didn't hear about the game from him, don't even give a shit if anyone did. What are we mad about?

This is nothing new, people's interest just shifted from watching sports to watching a faggot play video games.

do you know who jonas salk was?
he was the jewish scientist that cured polio. he created the march of dimes to raise millions to fund his research.
polio was a crippling and deadly disease putting children all over the world into a wheelchair or an early grave. the vaccine for polio was one of the greatest medical achievements of the last century. its a globally essential medicine.
and this guy jonas salk?
he could have made billions from it. he could have patented it and made actual billions of dollars.
you know what he did? he waived the patent. he gave up billions just to make sure as many people who could be helped got the help they needed. he became a celeb after that even though he hated it. truly a great man and he left the world a better place than he came into it.

If I had a choice between polio existing in the USA/world and jews. I would choose polio every single time and twice on sundays. I would infect myself with polio and tour america spreading the disease in a custom built wheelchair or crutches if it meant all the jews and their influence were excised from my country like the cancer they are.
polio is nothing compared to the harmful effects of jews on the USA and world.I would give anything to live in a world where our biggest problem was building access ramps and compliance with the civil disabilities act.

that sounds like hyperbole. it is not. 100% authentic feelings. I cant sleep at night anymore. I wish I never started questioning things. I wish I was still a dumb rube out there able to laugh at things instead of a woke misanthrope. I envy the dumb.

Id like to see an efficiency or benefit report on streamer advertising

Good on him. I wish I had the charisma and willpower to convince someone to pay me a cool mil to play a fotm videogame.

Who gives a flying fuck what you need? Nobody truly wants to be a fucking plumber or a farmer. Everyone wants to be important, cool and popular. That's why so many people buy into the Youtuber/Twitch streamer bullshit. I'd rather work 3 hours/day and be paid like a prince and then have my ass kissed about how good I am doing than work the fields under the sun 12 hours/day and get nothing in return.

>Instead of paying a shit-ton of money for advertising for all, pay streamers that appeal directly to the crowd you're aiming for

Brilliant, and to everyone complaining in this thread:
You are all jealous that someone who plays the exact same games as you is getting paid 1 mil to do so. The difference between him and you is that people actually like to socialize with him, and he has the ability to entertain a large crowd unlike most of the people in here who are devoid of any type of personality. Ask yourself honestly, could you entertain people consistently everyday? Probably not, you are by default probably not that interesting as a person, nor have the humor to make up for it. Good for that fucker for making money off playing vidya, especially taking a cut from EA.

I've heard some youtubers talk about how it's always awkward talking about work in front of the extended family or friends. They usually beat around the bush saying they're content creators or producers for new-media or some sort of corporate newspeak bullshit.

Who are you quoting? Who are you even arguing against?

Get some friends loser, maybe then you'll get laid

They create entertainment. Not much different from actors

And they receive the money they get because they generate income to whoever is paying them

Die mad about it, or look inward to improve yourself

Sounds great but look at the downsides; you have to watch your language, you have to come up with new jokes or memes to appeal and stay popular with the kids, anything you do outside of gaming will be frowned upon if you don't live by the fan standard. It will not be easy being your actual self as to your preforming persona you use to appeal to these kids. Anyone who wants to be your friend wants to be friends cause you're popular.
It would stress me the fuck out to be honest.

They can obviously ask their guardians for cash, they're paying for online services somehow.
It also gives EA a large playerbase, to where they can now advertise their game with player numbers.
It's a win/win, where you advertise directly to your crowd, and you get the demographic that blindly follows their twitch idols to play your game.
I'm sure your overestimating your hate for battle royales, unless you'd honestly kill yourself for something so feeble which is just downright autistic

Your logic is weird and very disrespectful towards yourself.

You need to learn how to handle your money. You cant be older than 25 if this is your answer.

It's not dignity, otherwise I wouldn't be in the military, it's more about not wanting to even see what a bunch of 10 year olds write, I hate kids.
And yes, I don't have any imagination, but I don't regret that.

You can take a look at a game that's bringing in more and more players every month and someone who that is triggered by the games existence will still claim it's dying it's just how autismlord on the internet behave

>says so while spending his entire existence shitposting on Yea Forums
You and anyone else would cream their pants if someone offered you that opportunity, you fucking retard

>using twitch viewers as a metric

The video game industry relies solely on access journalism. All the bad shit stems from that since it essentially means that big devs and publishers got to much sway around any sort of info outside of just marketing. So given that the corporate holds the majority of the power they are the ones that can break anyone who does not play ball by not giving them early review copys or early demo type shit for people to write about.

The music industry is even worse in this respect i would say just that unlike vidya shit is not widely as known so peoples unawerness to this helps the industry from seeming as really pure trash like the video game industry seems to most.

It's called marketing. This place isn't any better. We've had the same Apex shill thread for weeks now.

A bit more than 7, but yeah
They didn't need big E3 presentations or real life advertsing. Just spend a few million on big twitch names and you're already there. It's a smart move

I thought this was widely known for a while now?
Why is it news or shocking?

It's neither. OP is just retarded.

This is where Yea Forums is at now. Defending Kotaku

This celebrity worship boggles my fuckin mind. I can not understand it at all.

How empty does your life have to be when you regularly watch someone play a video game? Why donate money to them? These streamers aren't even great at video games. Is it their "quirky" personality?

Why 1 million? That's ridiculous. I have no doubts Ninja would have still streamed Apex Legends for 500 000 dollaroos. Unless Epic were to pay him more just to refuse the offer at the very least.

This. Planty of high level players in every game that you don't know about. Ninja was literally the top global killer in Fortnite for a whole year. That is not an easy achievement.

this but unironically

Eat shit retard you haven't even touched fornite or Apex yet you think you are an expert on the subject.
If you don't want to play things then don't play them, but by you own admission your opinion on the matter is irrelevant because you know nothing and WANT to know nothing. That's fine if it makes you happy, but do keep in mind that that is the exact same attitude that most parents had when videogames were invented "this shit is stupid I don't need to know or care about it because I'm so much batter".

Depends on how he manages the e-fame and money. If he isn't a retard and branches out, nurtures his brand and invests in shit outside playing games he'll be fine and can move on when things slow down.
If he's just getting comfy thinking he can sit in a room doing the same thing over and over for the next 40 years like Wings or DSP it's inevitable decline, depression, twitter insanity and gout before 35.

Althought in reality, you would do this even for far less.

To be fair this is a better way to get people into the game than to do commercials on TV that only old people watch or ads that people block
This is the new way the gaming industry should advertise their games. By sponsoring creators

peak Yea Forumstarded contrarianism

You're late af. If streamers are being paid to stream a game they have to put #ad BY LAW. They paid quite a few of the top streamers. Heck i remember seeing a Ninja Apex stream titled "Not being paid to play this anymore I actually like it". Though I'm not sure about where Kotaku got the sum from.

why are people so shocked about this?

not in this degenerate society lol.

What, did people really think streamers didn't get paid to play it? Shroud had a fucking giant apex partner watermark on his stream the first night it released.

and the only reason people voted for hillary was because she was a woman
and because her husband was famous

You are retarded. Nobody is surprised that he got paid, everyone knew that.
The amount is the surprising thing. But since Kotaku doesn't mention where they got the info and there is no source, I don't know why we should believe it.

At least he's an actual gamer and not some shill from india promoting the game on a taiwanese basketweaving forum

Fair. enough. I dont really care for streams since I prefer edited content that actually has effort in it rather than streamers who just thank subs every 10 seconds
But kids love em

What happened to playing the game yourself and not watching others play, whether edited or not?

Literally so what the game is good and most streamers still play it ninja is shit at the game and dizzy is now top dawg l yall just mad because you trannies can't get frags

is this a mini-golf battle royale game?

also tons of government experience

>Media companies get paid to promote game
HOLY SHIT LOOK AT THE REVIEWS
>Streamers get paid to promote game

>Implying he's smart.

If he was he would have invested now. He gets paid 500,000 a fucking week. Waiting till it's critical is the worst thing a person can do. The entire point of investing is so you make money off of it later.

Plus he's a faggy fortnight streamer with no personality. He has no IQ or other skills. He's only marketable because he's number 1 and nothing else. Once this shit dries up he's done and unless he lives a modest life that money is gonna be gone sooner than later.

Yes imagine a world without escapism and entertainment and instead only and only work that would be so fucking good right?

But usually if it's well edited then im more so watching it for the creator. Or if it's a game im never going to play
You never enjoyed watching your friend or sibling playing a game?

Expect even god rested on the seventh day.

>Plus he's a faggy fortnight streamer with no personality. He has no IQ or other skills.
You are deluded. Do you really think people become Number 1 at anything for no reason at all without skills and work put into it? You got this backwards.

the number of the naive zoomers is astounding in this thread. somehow a streamer being paid for advertising is big news. dont even know what to say. guess a lmao will do.

That's all he fucking does dude. He better be on top of the leaderboards it's literally his job to play that shitty game.

Not really, I was waiting for them to get the fuck off the game already so I can play.

and when you're god you rest as well

Never go into business for yourself. I work about as much as you do (similar field) and clear about half that after expenses. There, now you can feel less like you're doing something wrong. Remember, someone's always doing better than you are no matter how hard you work.

Nobody is surprised they are getting paid, they are surprised they get paid 1 fucking million just to play it.

Many sport players do several times what this guy does and they are even more retarded than him.
Sure, they have to keep themselves in almost superhuman shape and be very good at what they do, but at the end of they day they surely dont deserve all that money

The shill reviews are easy to see apart from real honest ones. The shills will try to mention as little as possible or talk town the downsides, while extremely praising the positive points of the game, while actually making the average stuff praise like it's some extremely good feature.
Usual things shills use:

Positive points:
Game has like the most average mmo selection choice of classes/races/specs:
>Look how great the choices are, it's amazing
Average graphics that demand a lot of ressources and still look shit
>Graphics look perfectly fine/I like the artstyle a lot/You will get a stable framerate even with average computer
There is almost no single player story at all, it is very lackluster
>The game is about multiplayer, but it still has a pretty nice story

Negative:
Game has bugs, not enough content, stuff like that
>Game may have some issues but devs are working really hard and will fix them for sure
Microtransactions and pay2win shit
>The game is not actually pay2win/You can get everything ingame/it's just cosmetic/it's just bonus to support the devs

You get the idea. After a little bit you will see a shill from a mile away

If you do anything for 8 hours a day, every single day, you will become amazing at whatever it is you're doing. If not than you have a huge learning disability.

Ninja pretended like Apex Legends was the shit and that he was never going going back to Fornite tho. Usually when you get pay to advertise something there's this little thing called "disclosure" you know.

Attached: 655322.jpg (258x258, 14K)

Why would big names be paid any less? They make this much in less than a year. I guess you dont really realize how much money there is in streaming. Advertising a bad game could ruin their air of "the real bro who gets it" for the audience, for one, and that ends their "career". Too much risk and too much work doesnt happen for too little money. Especially since for the big players of the game industry its chump change to pay for the almost guaranteed success of a product they spent much more making.
There is still a couple years left before the masses will catch up that streamers are just glorified billboards and they will stop working just as billboards did. Expect more and more games being advertised until the bubble bursts.

This is where you are wrong, and are either very naive or extremely deluded.

My argument is here , yours is just straight wrong.

If you are right, then explain how is it possible that all those hundreds of thousands of other neets who play 24/7 Fortnite aren't number one, or even comparable to Ninja?
It's a common self-delusion to protect your ego to think if you spent as much time as him you would be just as successful. If that's how it worked we would have hundreds of thousands of top players.

the gaming industry should not advertise at all. either your game is good and gets good reviews or its not, then fuck off and dont annoy me with your shitty ads.

Based

Not only the gaming industry would be better, but that's just not how it works as long as games remain commercial products, you sweet summer child.

All the zoomers seething at how right this image is that they take a second to take the celebrity dick out of their mouth and cry about it.
The same ones crying it isn't them making millions to be a giant game playing faggot
I can't wait till the brain chemistry in their head normalizes and they realize what actual values are and laugh at how big of faggots they were as the world gets slowly worse around them and their kids call them some stupid name like Boomer or zoomer or toomer or something equally stupid

Bullshit. On a stream not too long ago he defended himself saying that not only if he did that would it be unethical, that it would be illegal. He's a sociopath. The story about him losing his sight is probably also a farce.

I will admit they are right when they provide a credible source for that claim. Unless they can do that, I see no reason why I should blindly believe them. Their track record may incline you to believe them, but ultimately proves nothing.

He was this semi-pro Halo player who couldn't even get 1500 viewers on most days. Then Fortnite came out and he got lucky enough to play with Drake of all people on a stream. Then he just blew up from there.

So basically, he got lucky. It's all about getting lucky in this world. Of course you can get through the world with skill, but solely on skill is something really lucky

>Companies pay big streamers to shill their games
More at 11

because its wrong if you think about it even for a minute. i do need entertainers or else my life would be dull. i need them for my psychological health. or why do you think im on Yea Forums, i need that shit man!

while i havent needed a doctor for years now and never even seen a plumber. i also dont have a car so car mechanics arent on my need list either.

Drake used him in advance of investing in a gaming team. The absolute majority of these streamers are sycophants so doesn't come at much surprise. Join these Fortnite guys when playing squads and they'll be discussing their viewership numbers dropping, or their creator codes amongst them jacking each other off with knifes held close to backs. Zero entertainment.

>How do you cope with the fact that life is this unfair?
I don't worry about it.
Yeah it'd be nice to have millions and get paid to travel, but I'm pretty content with my life right now.

in other words you have given it all up already.

I would argue that ninja isn’t a low iq retard that’s capable of applying himself to whatever he’s doing. Neets have learning disabilities which put them in the position they are in. They have no sense of self improvement and because of that they have no idea how to apply themselves to their task and learn nothing even after playing for hundreds of hours. Again, learning disability.

Entertainers/ athletes etc even more just because you scum off the top of your popularity and make people buy stupid shit, that's capitalism.

For the 5 billionth time, nobody is surprised they get paid, but the fact that he got paid 1 million dollars only to play the game on launch day alone is simply unbelievable especially if you are not really familiar with how much money is in twtich streaming, and compare it to your Average Joe's salary, but 1 million for 1 day is staggering even in twitch streaming context too.

Why do so many retards jump into the thread without reading anything and drop these smartass comments like they are worth anything?

It's dumb people fault, not streamers or other esports shit.
While people pay for tits or for simple comfy entertainment, you can't take away their shekels and say like "no-no, give it to %tworkername%".
It's literally commie shit level of being butthurted by celebrities.

this literally confirms that the press release by respawn was a total lie, they didn't have to convince EA to make this game, EA would never distrust a fucking battle royale free to play game with microtransactions and no company unsure of their shit would sink 1 million into promotion for a game they didn't believe in

fair points both

what frustrates me is that the bar for convincing zoomer retards to buy something is so low you dont even need to bribe IGN or gamespot to sell something at this point, it's a new level of obscenity

D-Do you guys feel like ... FTP might be killing single player games? Think about it, most people are out there playing their fort nites and apex legends, while devs are going, "Yes single player is dying and yes this is a good thing for business, since FTP is actually more profitable in the long run." which is sustained by the fact that there are people out there spending 500+ dollars on apex. Are we heading twords an age where most companies dry up and die and the only things left are a few titans that can make ftp multiplayer games right, while maybe a few indie devs that still care about single player, pop up from the wasteland and struggle to make enough to keep single player alive? I hear the higher ups at rockstar are saying stuff like "Yes red dead redemption 2 made a profit, but if it won't make us as much as fort nite, is it really worth the effort?" and that EA made all the money they lost on flops back with APEX, are we really headed twords this future?

I'm not reading all of that but no.

it's like you don't understand how capitalism works
why don't you become a plumber streamer, i bet there isn't a single one doing that
would probably be a success

normalfags and zoomers are killing gaming full stop

Did gay nigger disclose this?

Single player games are always going to be in some people's interest so even if the big publishers / devs go towards ftp multiplayer etc, it just transfers more of the singleplayet game market niche to new and upcoming developers.

The fact that someone as big as EA paid 1 million to some man child makes me worried

>Kotaku is a blog
Then it isn't a news website. Why are you going to a blog to find news?

>D-Do you guys feel like ... FTP might be killing single player games?
People have been saying that for years and yet developers still don't stop chumming out single player games despite supposedly being on the brink of death.

I hope for this, it would be horrible to get to a point where single player isn't touched apon, I especially have a thing for AI in vidya, and like it when people put work and love in to creating good AI, and the most prominent place to see AI is, of course, single player.

What if most kids grow up never touching single player, and just don't form enough of an interest in it. As a gamer, I want future generations of gamers to know the joy of singleplayer. Clearly it is our duty to reproduce and introduce our kids to single player vidya before we let them touch multiplayer!

That would require both Nintendo and Sony along with most game developers to cease to exist which probably ain't going to happen anytime soon.

Smart of OP to make it about kotaku though this thread is almost at bump limit kek

I can't remember which game it was but I remember see an article there that said their favourite multiplayer game of the year was a single player game that released a few years before the article was even writen.
a better question would be one have there ever been right?

RDR2 literally had the biggest entertainment launch ever recently and since gaming market is growing there are probably more people playing single-player games than ever.

But hasn't the massive shill armada they hired said they had no advertisement whatsoever? Their script wouldn't lie, would it?

If you have ever watched a stream on twitch that wasn't pure gameplay with no commentary and no PiP showing the players face, you are the cancer that has killed video games. Also,

I mean.

that was right though?

Even on Yea Forums now the last thing people will admit is to being a "gamer".

Ive literally never played a battle royale user because I'm 26 and not 14.

Oh okay, journalism is claiming big things without sources to back them up and expecting the audience to believe it because I have to "protect my sources". I got you. Now I understand everything about journalism, I was completely in the dark until now.

>neo/v/4.0

And yet the higher ups at rockstar view it as waste of effort since it and it's multiplayer are not making them fortnite levels of money.

Attached: No more of this feel.png (446x367, 43K)

It doesn't even make GTA5 levels of money, let alone Fortnite. And GTA5 was already insanely profitable.
But really it's actually on them. If they wanted the zoomer multiplayer bux, then maybe they should have made the multiplayer fun instead of the crap it is now.

Now neck yourself retard.

Drown in a lake you dumb ass niglet.

Sorry that you're wrong user.

You have nothing to lose but your chains, user.

We know streamers got paid to stream the game pretty much since the game came out. You're a month late.

It also doesn't invalidate the game being fun to play.

They are required to disclose sponsored streams in the stream title, and they did.

Fresh off the boat, from reddit, kid? heh I remember when I was just like you. Braindead. Lemme give you a tip so you can make it in this cyber sanctuary: never make jokes like that. You got no reputation here, you got no name, you got jackshit here. It's survival of the fittest and you ain't gonna survive long on Yea Forums by saying stupid jokes that your little hugbox cuntsucking reddit friends would upboat. None of that here. You don't upboat. You don't downboat. This ain't reddit, kid. This is Yea Forums. We have REAL intellectual discussion, something I don't think you're all that familiar with. You don't like it, you can hit the bricks on over to imgur, you daily show watching son of a bitch. I hope you don't tho. I hope you stay here and learn our ways. Things are different here, unlike any other place that the light of internet pop culture reaches. You can be anything here. Me ? heh, I'm a judge.. this place.... this place has a lot to offer... heh you'll see, kid . . . that is if you can handle it...

>implying you wouldn't play a videogame for a couple weeks for a literal million dollars

What are some news sites that don't have any opinion pieces?

I would do it for 1000 dollars.

Made me lol for a sec fag.

Desperate for those (you)'s huh?

ign and gamespot ironically enough

you get really fucking angry and vow to make it through anyway just to spite people

Not as much as you sweaty

>Speedhack and aimbot
>Still gets fucking killed
How can cheaters be so bad at video games that not even I-Win buttons can get them a win?

Why don't you kill Ninja instead? To set things right. You can always kill yourself afterwards.

I never understood this. So many celebs and rich people don't even have personal security. They're out there, all by themselves. You could easily catch them if you wanted to.

Oh if only we could all be so wise as this ancient user

>being mad at this
heh just wait until you realize that people used to inherit absolute right over tens of millions of people, as in point at a random QT and she gets to be your permanent sex slave and any opposition to this gets beheaded, purely because their father was the king

Dignity is a spook

Opinion pieces cannot be right, and that's most of what is wrong with Kotaku.

WWW3 cant come soon enough

Nothing, but it's still obvious who that posted voted for.

>literally an ad clickb8 web link

It's funny cause Kotaku was considered not credible on old NeoGAF before they became woke.

Wasn't that after losing a fuckton of stock value from their earnings reports?

So playing a game i already bought is being advertised to?

Most news sites don't hide behind the term blog whenever their content gets called out

Isn't that, you know, advertising?

Think why you bought it chief

That doesn't address the question. Advertising leading you to buy a game != the game itself is advertising

>>B-BUT EA DIDN'T PAY OFF STREAMERS FOR THE FIRST MONTH
Who told you that? First day it was up there were at least 2 dozen ad streams up. It was blatantly in their title because they have to disclose that. Paying youtubers or streamers to play a game for a specific period of time is nothing new.

>this soul crushing post
>the user behind this post
Oof

But is anyone actually playing Apex Legends?
I’d love to see Fortnite die just to spite Epic but the reality is, paying streamers to play your game doesn’t make anyone actually want to play your game.

Microtransactions and episodic gaming, my dude

>Yea Forums
Spotted you faggot

My games don't have either of those things

>paying streamers to play your game doesn’t make anyone actually want to play your game.
?
Literally, reality says otherwise. Just..look around yourself dude, I don't understand why anyone would think this is even up for debate, lmao.

I recognize that beach!

>But is anyone actually playing Apex Legends?

engadget.com/2019/03/04/apex-legends-50-million-players/

False equivalence. A news website having opinion pieces isn't an issue as long as they are clearly marked as op-eds. The problem with Kotaku is that EVERY article is an op-ed masquerading itself as "news."

There are journalistic and ethical standards when it comes to reporting news. Kotaku doesn't report news, has no journalistic or ethical standards, and relies on clickbait. It is at best a tabloid, and tabloids are only good for lining the bottom of birdcages.

Why don't they just invest this money in making good games?

I got a solid 20 hours of fun out of it, but it's gotten rather dull. Hopefully they balance the roster a bit and release something to grind for.

>Ah, you seem to have “opinions” confused with “facts”
Ah, so maybe they work at Kotaku

If you want money show working a normal job, just learn a trade. So many old guys are retiring that it's easy to get in and make a killing

Because EA is not in the business of making good games. They're in the business of maximizing value for their stockholders.
Apex is as good as it is since EA bought Respawn because they wanted to dick measure with Activision and Epic
It's also the only thing they have going for them besides their sports games since EA has driven basically every one of their other franchises and studios into the ground.

Attached: 1551896799232.jpg (509x499, 38K)

They are not interested in making good games. They are interested in making games that make money, lots and lots of money.
Not that there is anything wrong with that, but you as a consumer should manage your expectations accordingly.

>OP, the faggot thinks that only EA has paid streamers
Fucking fortnite zoomer trash.

I wish Yea Forums would go back to worshiping stem instead of tradies and middle managers trying to give job advice on Yea Forums and pretending apprenticeships, union familys and licensing fees don't exist. It's one step above the "learn to code" meme
