    [ADDITIONAL CONTEXT] I previously left this out of my script for the sake of the video's length, but I feel like mentioning it is important regardless:
    "If you're questioning the continuity between Tencent's endeavours and Supercell's recent business decisions, I implore you to take a look at the absolute state that League of Legends and Valorant are in. Both are controlled by a subsidiary of Tencent that they wholly own and therefore are capable of exerting such influence required to manipulate the in-game markets as well as completely destroy the game with unnecessary cosmetics purposefully engineered towards a certain perverted demographic. (In reference to Valorant's skin design)"

    • @byeguyssry
      @byeguyssry 7 місяців тому +1

      While I can see it in cosmetics, other games that Tencent controls aren't necessarily Pay-to-Win. How can you be sure that this is the fault of Tencent, then? I don't think that it's impossible to at least try card skins, but no attempts was made

    Yep, Tencent has certainly had a rough history and as soon as I heard they were involved with Supercell, it was rough. Great video

  • @Mercenious
    @Mercenious 7 місяців тому +32

    So if Tencent is to blame for Clash Royale's current situation, as well as the situation for other game companies like Epic Games and Riot Games, what should we do? Can anything even be done against such a powerhouse in the gaming market? Surely there has to be something, anything we can do...
    I don't want one of my favorite childhood games to go down like this 😭💔

      Lack of competition adds to it too. People go for boom arena and such. But in my opinion Champion Strike Hero Clash needs to be in the front lines then a lot of players will move to the Champion Strike. Thus the competition begins and CR will make the game for f2p

    Yeah some other people also pointed out that TenCent doesn’t really meddle in their foreign subsidiaries. But after your company was bought for billions and your shares in the company suddenly made all your colleagues and you millionaires, you don’t have much more incentive anymore.
    And when TenCent only statistics is how much your company can make in revenue… you are definitely incentivized to make more money.
    Honestly it’s just a company that grew too big for its own good, got bought by a much bigger company who doesn’t really understand your brand or market, so it sets some really bad, but easy to quantify metrics like profit or revenue and now all you need to do to keep your job is to pump the numbers up. It’s not just TenCent, any other game is falling under the same curse.
    I honestly feel like that only small indie game studios are able anymore to make a decent game.

    A small critique I have with your videos is the amount of shaking your edits have. Some pictures have text that make it quite difficult for me to read due to how they sway around, making me pause the video to read what it has to say. Other times there are images that unnecessarily move around. An example is 5:08 when they could appear in order of how you speak them rather than moving around as one piece. Other than that, I enjoy watching your videos, keep making content!

    • @NaidvarRambles
      @NaidvarRambles  7 місяців тому +6

      Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I'm gonna lower the amount of shake that some of the things appearing on screen have, especially text, considering it can get a bit disorienting sometimes. I'm glad you're still enjoying my videos in spite of this, though! (I might just make a slow hover effect or ditch the effect entirely because it's mostly unnecessary)

    Evo's absolutely ruined the game for returning players too. if you played earlier in clash royales life span, but quit around when they got added, you probably will have a hell of a time trying to get back into the game. I'd know, im one of them. i cant fight against evo's without either over leveled cards or evolutions of my own. Also coming back just after dagger duchess gets released in one of the most broken states a newly added "card" has ever been. extra health and able to freely take out many pushes and lower health cards. I got extremely lucky and rolled a tower troop chest with dagger duchess in it, so i wasnt too far behind. but if you didnt get this as a returning player, you are screwed. The chinese really ruin everything

I probably should've mentioned this inside of my video for the sake of context, but this isn't a strictly Supercell exclusive problem and I know for sure they've had their hand twisted into what they're doing to Clash Royale alongside their other games.

    • @Mercenious
      @Mercenious 7 місяців тому +4

      perhaps a bit of the problem does lie with Supercell themselves, but Tencent owns a majority of them, and thus can do whatever the hell they want with how they monetize their games (which is funny considering Brawl Stars and eventually Clash Mini are so F2P friendly compared to current CR)
