    Oh, and what post shows finger pointing? I've only clearly demonstrated my will and wants to be equal rather than being casted as someone whom is a nobody.

    " For someone whom just joined the community, you have no right in sticking your nose into saying what is right and what is wrong, " the pure fact is that statements like these are what ruins communities, you deserve to have the same and equal that I receive and thus vis versa with any Youtube out there. Which is my argument point and mild.

    I'm getting really confused about when this is coming out exactly. I get that it's the fourth but which time zone? Molly said a day one day ago so having it be any american time wouldn't make sense since they should be the third right now. please somebody tell me. I can't take it!


    Edit: In 3 places in America it is the early fourth, but 382 aren't so yeaaahhhh ( According to some program I found)
    Also most Youtubers haven't really gotten the game for much longer. If you look on Tiy's Twitter you will see he only asked Youtubers on the first. IS THREE DAYS OF THEM HAVING THE GAME REALLY THAT BIG OF A DEAL?

    Release should be around 10am PST, or 19.00 GMT+1 (Italy, France, Germany, etc.) or 22.00 in Russia (should be GMT+4)

    Your entire argument of favoritism is finger pointing. The devs and youtubers being the primary target here.

    'Your will and your wants'

    Need I continue? Because your self entitled attitude is shining brightly.


    Allow me to debunk that post.

    Youtube is by no stretch of the imagination a small community. It is global. You are one account in a sea of hundreds of millions if not outright billions. The fact that you make videos is by no means special nor interesting. It's a self entitled, head in the clouds dream to think that you and you alone should belong in that miasma of content. Equality is by no means obtainable there because it does not exist. The fanbase and coverage are the sole purpose the game was given to those famous youtubers and the truth in this statement stands in yours.

    Again, this was a marketing ploy and a damn fine one in my opinion. So, get over yourselves and be comfortable with the fact that you, at some point, will be able to create your own content and entertain those who watch you. Do not pretend that you toil for something you cannot hope to attain with a single release.

    in all honesty I'd rather watch a big name youtuber like TotalBiscuit than some unknown youtuber who probably has a low quality mic and sounds nasaly as heck.
    while recording his/her computer monitor while playing the game or with free fraps that lasts for like 30 seconds.

    Here's where I stand, slightly better detail, and without the insults this argument has a considerable amount of.

    Not all people like this, but Chucklefish is further expanding on the fanbase this way. It's not only good for business, but there will be more players out there. And Chucklefish has proven that they love their fans. Yes, amazingly edited LPs by less popular Youtubers may be a little overshadowed, but if they WANT to be popular they better work at it. Not everyone is going to get a fair slice of popularity pie. Terrible analogy.

    And popularity is very unfair. Always has been. And it doesn't make sense to gripe about it when you could very well be pulling your resources and your talents to good use and make a masterpiece.

    20,000 views? That's it? Buddy, watch your video and you'll find that you won those views not by popularity and luck...

    ...but by your own genuine effort. ~Nil desperandum.~

    Watch a single one of my videos then, you will be amazed what " small " youtubers can do.

    Sorry to say, it's not Chucklefish's responsibility to ensure small youtubers make money off their game. It's Chucklefish's responsibility to make the best game they can and market it as best as they can so that they make more money to keep/make the game even better. It's a business, not a charity outfit.

    A new car maker has enough budget to make one commercial. Why would they put it on an unknown, local cable channel at 3am, when 5 national news channels offer to highlight in prime time?

    Cherry-picking your examples is a strawman. Yes, there will be people who Just Want It Now, as ever there have been and ever there will be. Tarring every dissatisfied person here with that same brush is not correct or appropriate. Nor is there any guarantee that deeper dissatisfaction doesn't just happen to hamper someone's articulateness and make them come across worse than they actually feel.

    I have a number of reasons for being irritated. Some of them I know are not rational in the grand scheme of things, so I will not mention them. However, there's a number of things CF could have done to minimize that irritation for at least the more balanced members of the community (including some people in this thread who are dissatisfied).

    For me, part of the problem is volume - two dozen people cropping up in the space of a few hours is a lot.

    Part of it is the very proximity to beta release that people are waving around while telling all the naysayers to shut up. As has already been stated, the popular Youtubers would have still made their videos and got their views if they did it on launch day like the rest of us - so how much actual gain is there? And on the flip side of it, the very fact that I know it's just around the corner, and seeing all those links to Youtube and Twitch, makes me feel like a kid around Christmas and there's someone dangling a present just out of my reach and telling me "here's something really cool but you can't have it yet," as opposed to the presents just sitting there under the tree.

    Part of it is that it came across as somewhat elitist. The call was specifically for people with a large already-existing viewership. Some of those people made their names because they got an earlier peek at things than the world at large. If the call had included a few slots to be filled by people in the forums who intended to stream/record footage, possibly selected by raffle from people who filled out a short application, that would have given people who aren't yet Big Names a chance to actually get in on the action rather than being completely and utterly lost under the Big Names who might already have multiple episodes out by the time we get to touch the game.

    I think the website's thrashing today is proof that their advertising blitz has worked - but would it have not worked for choosing fewer advance-release outlets? For some of the Big Names waiting until their viewers could actually impulse-buy and play rather than pre-ordering by a day or two?

    I still look forward to the game. I'm not going to start calling CF names. But I do feel that in attempting to grab new people, they may have caused some avoidable (or at least mitigable) ill will within the community.

    Unless there's someone in Greenland or something who's keen on playing, odds are that timezone will be first in the Americas to get it, yes.

    And yes, the site is seriously overloaded today.

    I think it would be wise of the devs to start sending the keys out and let us preload on steam now.... before the rush.

    Call it experience with other indie devs and bad launches...

    That and all the 502 bad gateway errors im getting when trying to do stuff on these forums... not a good sign.. and not everyone even knows beta in a day or so...

    do it now chucklefish lol..
