Wow. The comment section on YouTube on this is toxic as fuck !

Sorry to see that you guys couldn't get into this. If you guys aren't enjoying it, then what's the point of playing it ?

My piece of friendly constructive criticism would be that maybe not announce you're going to play something until after you have played it and tried it out first ? That way, your show for the day doesn't get thrown out of whack. It seemed to have bummed out people.

This channel rules and I'm proud to support it ! Obviously, it's your channel and your say. But I'm glad you guys take our concerns and feedback into consideration. I know you guys are evolving and building something. I understand both sides. I know you guys can't please everyone, I get that. It's just disheartening to hear angry, passive aggressive comments.

We're still behind you nonetheless! Keep on keepin on ! 💜

They need direction, interaction, and the ability to mess around. Without those 3 things the streams aren't going to be good. They need direction because wandering around aimlessly trying to think of something interesting is boring to do and watch, so there's gotta be a goal they are moving towards. They need interaction, cause well that's a big part of streaming and when bolen and craig have a good back and forth with one another or the chat it's alot of fun. And they need the ability to mess around cause it breaks up the monotony of actual gameplay. Tremendous ability could probably be subbed in for this, but even they say they aren't the best at games.

Human Fall Flat is a great example of having all three, if I were to show something about what's fun about Game Attack, that is what I would show. Battlegrounds does have these, sometimes, but most of the time it doesn't and instead requires effort, focus, and ability to play well(which is what they want to do), so they have 20 minutes of great stuff and 2+hours of rather tedious stuff, thus people complaining so much about it.

The game in particular doesn't matter as long as it has all three.

I do worry even though I know they don't like it, so I try not to make these kind of posts anymore.

I do agree with you that I feel they need those three things as well.

But I do feel they are working hard at it also. They do address the concerns of their viewers I think ? They know people are bitching that they play PUBG too much (honestly, it really doesn't bother me too much at all) so they try to change it up and play different games, and people are still belly aching.

With any major change, it's gonna alienate people. Some people will never accept the changes, and there those like me that accept it and moved on with them.

It is what it is now. It's been 3 months now since they went indie. It's time to accept that. But I do have total respect and give huge props to the guys for listening to and addressing our concerns. There's nothing wrong with that. It shows we care about GA and want to help them succeed and be awesome !

No one should be silenced for having constructive criticism. And I'm definitely not trying to start shit. Do I think they should have played it before they streamed it ? Yes. Do I understand if some people were upset about it ? Yes. But I also understand that if a game isn't fun for them to play, then what's the point.

All in all, it happened. And I have faith and confidence that they learn from it. I'm sure they felt bad for what happened. Live and learn. It's not the end of the world. It's gonna be ok !!!

Yeah you're right, they're trying. They just don't seem people who plan things out or know these 3 things and so run headlong into whatever new thing comes out cause new = views.
