I wonder if people would be trying to question his game dev credentials if he had done a reaction video to the latest Prince of Persia Sands of Time trailer (which apparently is okay to dislike, unlike Dirt5
on the SeriesX).
His last contribution to the game engine he's creating was yesterday. That's as
current game dev as he could be IMO.
Anything will be considered
fodder if one side is overly sensible and feels threatened by reaction videos and/or joke titles.
Your reaction is something he predicted, as he mentions time and again he's expecting a lot of hate from this video. That is exactly what he got.
He does
know better than that. He just doesn't care about console wars, much less on xbox fans getting their feelings hurt.
Furthermore, in every reaction video from the past 2 or 3 weeks he's been asking for people to advise him on SeriesX gameplay videos for him to "react" on. He says he knows he's sounding biased and he's trying to fix that perception, but he's genuinely struggling to find SeriesX showcases that look next-gen.
Perhaps someone here can point him in the right direction.
His reaction videos are being posted on
a side channel he created, that has less than 14K subscriptions. His
original channel that is mostly about programming tutorials focused on video game development, that he does while developing his own game engine, has 330K subscribers.
Don't mistake a honest take on a gameplay video that he purposely put on a small channel to get less viewership than his main series, with him trying to make money off other developers' misery.
