Expecting logic from a pissed off Speculator is like expecting logic from a Casino whale, his is likely just pissed off at Karl for his loss in profits trying to make money out of the bubble, which is really all on him.
When he says "real" collectors, he means speculative investors. The actual real collectors saw one of the best selling, common games of all time sell for millions and thought, "That doesn't seem right". But Karl went and dove into this head first, did a bunch of frankly excellent research, and published it. Then immediately, people were trying to discredit and cancel him. This was an important piece of reporting, and the backlash only reinforces that. Nobody likes to be left holding the bag, but that is a risk you should be prepared for when speculating on any type of volatile market.

I agree. I was already casually collecting video games from a very young age. The only reason I would care about the market is so I don't get ripped off with outrageous prices. I don't care about rising and falling prices so I can sell them later, I care about that so I am able know if I am getting a good deal. I think that buying super common games for more than 3 times their original retail price is ridiculous. I buy games that came with a case with it because I wasn't the game to be protected so I can play it. I am a collector that wouldn't be opposed to selling games i no longer want. That is collecting. Buying games only for the sake of profit is not collecting. It's investment.

I can't really tell if he's intentionally lying or if he's just ignorant and doesn't know what he's talking about. Cause the lies he tells are embarrassing considering how easily they can be debunked. Like, he completely missed the point behind why marketing your own product without disclosing your relationship to the company (if you have one) is unethical and illegal when there are FTC laws that clearly state why. Plus, he seems to misinterpret a lot of things that Karl says and doesn't even understand what the video is about. He thinks Karl is attacking the entire graded video game industry, community and collectors when his video mainly focuses on two companies and their unethical and manipulative business practices. I really don't know how he managed to overlook this. Perhaps he's just not very intelligent.

@@nissan_skylineI’m pretty sure he’s lying because those things you pointed out. I’m 26mins through Karl’s video and I haven’t heard that man discuss or refute one actual point that Karl made. He’s barely discussing the same topic, instead he goes on attacking his straw man and making implications about Karl. I don’t want to believe that a man that can speak so well and seems to be at least moderately successful, could watch Karl’s video and so clearly miss the point. Maybe I can chalk it up to him being so close to the situation and emotionally invested that he subconsciously blocked out the point of the video because it would make him feel like his was played for a fool if he was/is a regular patron of Wata and Heritage. But even then, I would expect him to defend those companies directly if that were the case and he hasn’t referenced them or their owners yet. Edit: finished the video; he did start referencing Wata and some of Karl’s actual points but he straight up lied about all of them. Yeah, this dude was lying the whole time.

For one we can’t see his attempts at each clip. Think about how he is human. No human is perfect. I don’t know when that video he is criticizing came out, but it was not just a week ago, he had time to get angry about it then think it through. He had the time to organize himself and do the research and show how the video is wrong. I would guess that we don’t see the whole original video so he could have some parts that he did not find enough to discredit it, but he did his homework.

@@Rabbit-the-One Black and white thinking is one of those fallacies that pretty much transcends critical thinking, as it is also how ancient religions like Manichaeism found appeal in the first place. Given how prominent philosophical dualism is to their worldview, it’s inevitable that its more relatable tenets would cross over to society as a whole, as well as the foundations of monotheistic religions as well. A distinct form of syncretism, if you will?

Remember, Shigeru Miyamoto said that the value of their games will always be zero, because the value of their games can only be measured by the joy, happiness and feelings experienced by the player while playing the game. He hates the retro market and said that games should be played and enjoyed, not be collected, hoarded and sold without playing it.
The way he cut together the clips there in the end is absolutely disgusting and you could've just shown that part and dropped the mic. Great video as always Jobst Who?? :D I've been bingewatching your stuff lately. Keep it up!
Anytime you say “please dont attack this person” I know we are gonna be in a wild ride watching this person in question.
This is such a good response. No personal attacks, no cheesy editing, just well delivered arguments.
Dude made a clown out of himself and then deleted ALL of his youtube video, great job Karl, is amusing to see someone actually using arguments and not crying cause his scam was found out.

His video wasn't even a response. This was the quality rebuttal everyone is sharing? He didn't even bother to address anything Karl said or point out where he was factually incorrect. All he did was attack Karl personally for the entire video. It's the KZread equivalent of a teenager saying "You mad bro?" You hit the nail on the head. Clown is the only way to describe him.
The original video you covered was so difficult to watch, you did well to keep calm and respond as you did.

No wonder he's attacking you with all of these obvious lies. He's trying to reach out to his target audience (the gullible idiots) so he can sell off his own scammed investment!

Scammers over the phone do this, too. If you're smart enough to see through their obvious lies? Dropped like a rock. They'll never call you again with the intent to scam, only to harass and annoy if you were an especially egregious example. I called my scammer a "benchode bosedeke" and he immediately hung up. I received calls for like two weeks. Presumably his boss told him to knock it off and call people they can actually scam, I dunno why he stopped. It filters out people who are going to waste the scammer's time. That way, they're only interacting with stupid people, and you know what they say about parting a fool from his money...
The editing of that dude's video feels almost satirical in it's over the top nature. It feels like a cartoony evil corporation's example of how to manipulate the masses. It's a very surreal experience overall. Either way, keep doing you Karl, I love every second.

That guy is right. Pat Contri broke into my house and ripped open all of my sealed video games, and then he got the Angry Video Game Nerd to shit on them 😢Damn you, Pat, you NES punk.
The only reason this guy is taking issue with Karl is because he just happens to be the one that made the video exposing this scam. I really think his main issue is that he’d prefer to bury his head in the sand and be in denial about how much he overpaid and that he got scammed. It’s likely that he’s also just mad that this scandal devalued his collection.
I like how he used a picture of me too, and simulated that I was crying. lol

Karl, I only have a passing interest in the topics you cover, but I still find your videos insightful and engaging. It's obvious to any of your regular viewers that the videos you create have value. Keep up the good work and don't let the idiots get you down.
You got to love how he keeps calling himself a collector when he's being a speculator. He knows that if he was honest about even that, the average viewer will question his motives since collectors and re-sellers are two very different things.
Watching his video makes me see how real the contrast is between a fake, ad hominem, straw man argument and real exposé reporting on an issue, makes me appreciate and respect Karl all the more

Right? It's weird because Mario is a proper noun, those have specific pronunciation, and he says his name in the games. You don't even need to have played the specific one 😩

Real passionate collectors will have some sealed copies as their "centerpiece" in their collection and will definitely own an opened copy for regular play. Game "resellers" will just argue over what part of their hoard is the most valuable at the moment and hypothetically how much money they'd make selling it all, they don't even see them as games anymore
