I was wrong about Hades II developer Supergiant Games...

Ойындар

I'm embarrassed to say that I was wrong about Hades II developer Supergiant Games. Hear how the indie developer's shocking actions made me rethink my opinions on greed in the video game industry. All while fighting the Infernal Beast boss in Hades II.

    @@greydaygames whiles its VERY frustrating when KZreads systems get abused, what makes it more frustrating is when you learn its not even youtubes fault, see youtube needs an easy to abuse system because based on current copyright law the system youtube has in place is, well legally gray at best, the legal way of handling things is in court, and that method still stands and is legally valid for any copyright owner to use, so KZread needs an easy to abuse system so some greedy giant corpo doesn't decide "you know what no, were not using KZreads built in copyright systems, were just suing youtube for hosting our copyrighted content" and once 1 company pulls that trigger and wins against youtube, you know damn well many others will follow suit, so youtube needs a system so easy to abuse that no company thinks to sue youtube instead, if a company decided that youtubes system was to convoluted or took to long then they would probably just take youtube to court

    Supergiant has uploaded the soundtracks for all their games for free. In a recent video of Greg Kasavin and Amir Rao answering questions on Hades 2, they half jokingly described their games as delivery methods for Darren Kobe’s music. I was drawn to this video since I e been a super fan of Supergiant since Pyre’s release and was shocked at the idea of someone beefing with them given their stellar track record

    It was a shock that this happened and was more an issue with KZread. That’s why I felt so stupid and guilty for my overreaction. It was an oversight and a byproduct of my growing distrust of the gaming industry as a whole. That’s why I felt compelled to make this video. To admit my mistake and offering my first hand account of a developer actually caring. Thanks for the comment!

    Supergiant Games has done an incredible job every step of the way. Hades II is great. They're proactively protecting their community. They're listening to players and updating the game in incredible ways. All for a game that is a fraction of the cost of AAA games. After this situation, I back Supergiant Games 100%.

    Well, that's a lesson on trying research and contacting before firing the shots. Glad it was sorted out! 😁👍 The moment I heard the word "claimed" my first thought was "it's KZread's algorithm claiming stuff again". This happens fairly often even though you can go years with that never happening to a channel. And then when it happens once it's like the algorithm puts the channel on some watchlist and it happens again and again. Happens a bunch to reaction channels when they start getting bigger.

    I respect you for emitting to your mistakes and I Indie devs will almost always be a lot chiller the with copy right because it’s the actual people and those people that have the passion are the ones making the decision instead of greedy executives you see it here with supergiant and it can be seen a lot with Toby fox such as with the whole undertale yellow stuff and my personal favorite, him telling the KZreadr alpharad that he could just remake date start ( the song alpharad uses for his sponsor section) and tell the sponsors that he ( as in alpharad) made the song and you can that story out there if you don’t believe me

    copyright is often done by the publisher or the original copyright holder (producer). big aaa game companies love flagging videos with modern vgm. but supergiant publishes their own games which gives them sharp control over the copyright.

    I agree. It was to my surprise that an independently published game with original music written solely for the game (and ODT) would claim on let’s play VODs. We were right! Supergiant didn’t want that! The most amazing thing was their response to my and other more popular creators. Their response to me served no benefit to them. They did it anyway. They have no customer loyalty… until they lose it. Thanks for the insightful comment!!
