Google won't change anything. However, discussing it openly like he did will do what Google will never be able to do.
Now MILLIONS of people are aware of the problem and the company now has a fatally ruined image that may never be removed from them. It's bad enough that TB has a million subscribers but when he put that video out and defended his case and there's no gray line and other people of his network share his concerns, everyone is now aware that this company is to blade for the situation and look extremely shade at the same time.
Any sound gamer will now avoid them like the plague and will speak ill of them. They'll still sell their game to the masses of the mundane but it will be an uphill battle for the rest of their livelihoods in that company.
This move was a terrible PR decision.
Terrible.
And they deserve it for that shitty as fuck product I watched in some Let's Plays.
Jesus.

Looks like Wild Games Studio smelled which way the wind was blowing and walked back their claim, making lame comments about confusion over monetization. Pure BS of course, they got caught smashing the cookie jar with a hammer, but the video is now back up.

At least he didn't do his best Christian Bale impersonation?
Baker's Joker isn't too bad, but I agree it's sad they have to basically do impressions. His Joker laugh isn't so hot from the bit I heard, though.
I think the root of the issue is Conroy and Hamill basically own those roles. I mean, I've heard some other good versions, but nothing compares to their interpretations and if you're even a moderate fan of Batman I'd wager theirs are the voices you hear in your head reading the comics and such.

I'm suddenly imagining a Christian Bale version of this.
/growly voice, not even singing
Am I blue?
AM I BLUE!
YOU'D BE, TOO!
As usual, as the graphics get better, the games get shorter. -sigh- Guess they spent most of their time on those pretty cg cutscenes.

If it's 5 hours of good gameplay, that's still more than I was expecting. Everything I heard about the game led me to believe that it was not going to be much like Asylum or City.
Well, from what I've heard, the game's ending isn't that great either.
It turns out that The Joker hired out the assassins while posing as Black Mask.

Yeah, that doesn't surprise me one bit. The trailer pretty much gave it away to me.
I hope this doesn't become like the Legend of Zelda series. "We swear, there really is a different bad guy this time. It's totally not going to turn out to be Ganon/Joker behind it the whole time."
Sounds like a "watch a Let's Play" instead of bothering to buy or rent.
These days if a game can't match at least a dollar per hour (and replay value counts), I don't feel it's worth my buying it. Unfortunately, my ability to pick these wavers. Sometimes I'll get a $60 game that only gives me 10 hours and I never want to play it again. Other times I get a game for $30 and end up playing it for 200 hours. So I guess it evens out.
Lego Marvel Superheroes is under 30$ and I've already put 8 hours in and am at a 10% completion rate. I guess that's a good return on investment.
A dollar per hour is a little unreasonable I think, but a 60 dollar big budget game should at least last 10 in my opinion. Then it's on par with seeing a movie in theaters.
Yeah, that would be 60 hours minimum for a regular new release. Only a few games carry that much playtime.

I refuse to pay $60 for a game. Full stop. You know right now there are multiple people at different publishers trying to calculate when/how they can get away with upping the "standard" price for games to 69.99, and how slow the fire has to be under the pot to boil that particular frog. Buying games at $60 damages the industry for the consumer. But not as much as those bastards who preorder - those guys deserve death with a rusty blade.
I don't often either. In most cases I can wait.
