      @madseasonshow An entire generation of people have no idea that video games ended around 2007 when the corporations took over gaming. these people are clueless the golden age is done and that they're playing glorified mobile games which are only fun because they're addicting - like gambling.
      They just don't know that a time existed before loot boxes and gambling mechanics and daily quests and unfinished games. It's impossible to convince them that skins in video games ruin the game.. so don't worry about the corporate shills. let them play their Diablo 4 FILTH, let them drown their time in Candy Crush Blizzard aka Retail Wow. When we end this corporate regime and starting making actual games again they'll come and apologize to you. There will be an 'oh shit' moment for them when their brain enjoys natural happiness instead of manufactured brain happy chemicals from corporate colors on a screen - aka Diablo 3, Diablo 4, Diablo Immortal, Retail WoW, Stracraft 2.
      There's an army of people that experienced the same phenomenon as you did when blizzard was good. WoW vanilla / classic is much better knowing you exist out there and saw the same thing we did. we know what glory is and we will never be happy until we return to that video game golden age. These people that give you hate do it only because they weren't there and saw what we saw in vanilla and diablo 2.
      If you charged first against the armies of Mordor, I'd follow right behind you. You are a legend. Fuck the haters.

      Your analysis was likely too generous in response to the "From Your Average Reddit" post. It did serve as a useful prompt to create some very nuanced and complex discussions which is not normally found on Reddit...ironic.
      Most people will not consider a creators intent behind making critique videos perhaps because they themselves cannot comprehend criticism and critique coming from a place of wanting it to be better because you love it.

      i’ll probably never give up on wow I have played around 19 years now. What I did give up on many years ago was progression.
      I played the game for fun at my own pace. I still login a decent amount of hours per week around 20 or so give or take a few.
      it’s one of my hobbies at this point something that at the end of the day when nothing else is going on I can jump on to mess around for a little bit. It’s something that if I go into work late, I can tool around on the computer for a while , maybe pick up a new transmog Or tanker around with whatever event might be up.
      Playing like this, I never get burnt out it’s always giving me some measure of enjoyment.

      I played the rts games never got to finish them as they didn't belong to me but I loved the lore. once the MMO came out and started changing things I stopped caring as much but I did keep up with it and did buy some of the books and the magz and I did want to play it but didn't have Internet fast enough till 2019 bfa I had fun with other players and the combat but ultimately I didn't have fun overall as I didnt enjoy the story nor the lore.

    Hi Madseason, thanks for sharing your thoughts and feelings. As a longtime viewer, it surprised me to hear about the negativity that came your way, even if it's less than 1% of your viewer base, because you always come off as an even headed and fair guy.
    I guess that's just the nature of having millions of people see your stuff, you're definitely going to come across some crazy.
    I'm sure I'm not saying anything you don't know, you said the same in your video, I guess I'm just trying to show support, man. You're one of the few UA-camrs whose new videos actually gets me excited. It's not just "oh, new vid," when your content pops up in my subscriptions, its "oh shit, new Madseason vid, gotta set some time aside take his editing in."
    And man, I don't even play WoW, I just like the way you talk/ present it.
    Anyway, I'm rambling here. Tl:Dr, you're right to feel the way you do, I just want to show support by saying that on the other end of the negative spectrum are people like me who watch you despite not playing WoW.

The leveling experince and the exploration of world was my draw card and you made that important again.

    It's hard to overstate how important your videos about the level boosts were to me. I was so heartbroken about Blizzard's decision, but much more so by the community's seemingly-majority approval. Where did the amazing community of 2019 go? You voiced my exact feelings in a much more articulated way than I ever could. And for us old school boomers that love the game for the gameplay, it really saddened my heart to watch Blizz head in that direction, but your videos gave me some solace, feeling less alone.
    As for haters, I think it's pretty much inevitable. One could even say that if you don't have any haters at all, you're probably too bland. I have no desire to be a "content creator", yet even my latest video on my 1-60 Nudist hardcore achievement run (Xaryuenjoyer 3) on my microscopic channel got some random hate comment. So I guess it's all par for the course, sadly. Oh, and you have a tiny cameo in it, a very small tribute :)

      @seanwilliams7655 2 місяці тому

      I was there on the first day back in 2019. IMO, what happened was the idea people had in their heads about the game met the reality that most of us are in our 30s and 40s now, and many of us have spouses and/or children who need attention. Not to mention jobs, friends, etc. After going through the grind once or twice, people were ready to skip it. We probably would have gotten to that point sooner if Covid hadn't kept people home for a year.
      That said, I do wish that Blizzard hadn't catered to those people. But at least they kept the Classic servers more or less the same. I guess that's the best we could ask for.

    I mean, you are the guy who passionately made wow videos, stood as a shining beacon of positivity in perhaps the worst era of the game in BFA, but then as soon as classic launched you did a 180 and became quite insufferably anti-retail. You're within your rights to do that of course, if you don't like a game you shouldn't be supporting it, but it was quite clear that you were revelling in the opportunity to profit from wow but also hate on it as well. It was calculated, sudden, and contrasting your earlier videos to your mid-life videos, I think some criticism towards you was earned.

    If you're looking for feedback: the little eye bloop noises your character makes is genius and brings me an unproportional amount of joy, and I love the monotone delivery (be it genuine, which I suspect, or not... it's still great in either case).
    I'm a new subscriber and just found your videos a month ago... I like the critical videos, because I share many of the same perspectives, and it's one of the main reasons I got into game development, I wanted to make the games that I wanted to actually play (I've been in AAA and indie for going on two decades now). An example are your pandoras boxes videos like for SWG --- that's what I lived through... I was there for that... and those where the complaints that me and my friends (even irl friends) had about the game, that we still toss about now and again to this very day. To put it to a timeline and really explain in detail about the failings there, not only hits me with immense nostalgia, not only validates my long standing hatred for what happened to that game that only a small few truly understand the depths of that betrayal, but more than that, it gives me perspective on my own games and games that I work on; And that's priceless.
    There are some channels that do nothing but shit on upcoming games... Kira being the biggest offender I can think of off the top of my head (games are hard to make, and judging something for being a year or two behind or being crazy picky about alpha footage is inherently nearing grifter status taking advantage of those that don't know anything about game development)... but your content isn't that. I really do enjoy your content, especially from a 'historian' type of way.... if you don't have fun making that content, even if it is inherently critical or negative, you shouldn't make it... but like I said, I rather enjoy your content and I hope you make more. THERE IS ROOM FOR CRITISISM AND NOTING RUINOUS ACTIONS BY DEVELOPERS/PUBLISHERS/ETC... anyone whose hot take is 'it's negative and just farming for views' is throwing the baby out with the bath water... yes some channels are grifters that are overly critical for views... but this channel isn't that; your analysis is competent and very informative... and it gives future developers/publishers/etc confidence in knowing what works and what doesn't work and why.

    Thanks for the vid Mad, About the video itself, I think you are spot on in your assessments, and I think you were right doing it in a style of a react, it works in this case as it gives subjects that you can expand on in detail as you do. General comments: I, as player of WOW from the start moved to FF14 for awhile during the darker days, and canceled my sub, and since I have such a soft spot for WOW I eventually came back. Also note you music in your vids is top notch, perfect placement it doubles the effect of them. And side note, your monotone, steady cadence way of speaking is also a good vid for going to sleep to on rewatches :)

    Never forget one thing: There are people out there that are so twisted, dark, and deranged, that it would be the most abominable insult to get any kind of "positive" feedback from such life-forms. They are thankfully few as are the negative comments that go with them, but you need to see it as a statistical necessity rather than anything to be bothered by. If you organize it that way, you have 100% positive feedback in the bottom line. :)

    Ive watched and loved your channel ever since i discovered it years ago. A lot of goods, bads and notalgia points resonated with me unlike anything else around nowadays. This video however i feel like somehow spoke to my soul. From the starting love for wow, to seeing it slowly get ruined over greed and ignorance and then seeing yourself turn into a somewhat doomsayer/catalyst for other doomsayers (even though you aren't) just breaks and hurts you in ways you didnt think possible. Its rather ironic with your monotone voice to be able to display so much love,care and disappointment/sadness for something,but you somehow made it work. Good job on another amazing video (especially since this one is rather unusual for what you make). Thanks for the years of entertainment, informative content and care.

    Whenever a company starts looking at their customers as "fans", things go wrong. People who come to Blizzcon might be "fans": , they're customers first, paying (the equivalant of) 15$ a month to play your game.
    Blizzard in its current state doesn't deserve any "fans", and even if you are, never admit it out loud.

    Diablo 4 was loved at launch because the campaign was awesome. The story, characters, and world were great. There were plenty of side quests and the size of the map was so large that it took a lot of time to get through everything. The backlash came when the story was over and there was very little there.

    • @jippy8976
      @jippy8976 2 місяці тому +2

      I’d argue that the backlash came earlier than that, as the dev team admitted things like they didn’t have a fix for the storage tabs because of they’re crappy design and because Blizzard wanted to do the greedy live service model.
      This sort of thing crippled the ability to have multiple characters. That’s just one example, but the game was riddled with live service issues that destroyed the game.

    In general, a significant number of youtube channels are actually detrimental to the health of a game. Not because they complain about the game, but because they demystify the game to such a fundamental degree, that they flood the community with low hanging fruit. Top 10 lists, things you need to know before you play X, secret ways to make money playing Y.
    It is too much.
    A mmo that is solved is no longer about the journey or discovery, which is the antithesis of what a mmo should be. So in a way, the internet is responsible for killing modern gaming standards, because every time a new expansion comes out for wow, there are 20 videos up on every aspect of the game before it's even been out for a week.
    I think a lot of this contributes to people being angry with online multiplayer games, because if you aren't following these low standard content creators, you aren't following the meta, and therefore don't take the game as seriously as they do. It really isn't a healthy way of thinking of games.

    Its grounded and authentic and what I would expect to hear from a friend in a casual conversation.
    "It is important to be able to extract useful information from even the most non constructive criticism and critique."
    This requires a high level of emotional and character maturity and wisdom because it directly stems from the ability to honestly self reflect. This virtue is sorely scarce in current year.
