i dont think quinton deserves the tallerico or somerton treatment, thats a nuclear option for serial offenders of human moral decency. not a guy who sucks at his inconsequential job/hobby.

like the appropriate reaction to quinton is just to make fun of ppl who watch his poo poo and pay for it lol. like the reason why unqualified people position themselves as educational authorities is because they want to be perceived as intelligent people, even or esp if they are not. but the people who watch these ego driven projects? hopeless lol

Yeah quinton is not actively hurting anyone or stealing from them, he's just making boring poo poo which isn't a crime.

Also what happened with that stuff about him underpaying/exploiting editors, it seemed to fizzle out right quick.

Nah, they just made the one game (A Machine for Pigs) for the franchise. Amnesia's otherwise been Frictional Games's thing.

I thought the age difference was less than that (like Quinton was 21 and the editor was 19 and not literally still in highschool) but I also don't care enough to google "Quinton Reviews callout post"

weirdest thing the chinese room made was Little Orpheus which was a Limbo-style 2.5D platformer

i mean I guess they're making VTM Bloodlines 2 right now but I don't think that much of the original Chinese Room team is there anymore, and also that game is cursed no matter who touches it

Thinking about this, it sounds like legitimate psychological torture; even assuming minimal edits you'd still have to listen to dozens of hours of recordings, possibly multiple times, in order to edit a single video of this length

No wonder this person became obsessed with Quinton, they probably had a borderline nervous breakdown listening to his voice for those long stretches of time, it's more like digital Stockholm Syndrome than anything else

the amount of famous/notable people who think messaging teens on social media is fine and acceptable is wild, some GoT actor got accused of sexting a 16 year old, hired his own forensic auditor to look into it to prove she fabricated the texts, and then casually insists their real snapchat/discord/whatever messages were perfectly normal communications between a famous actor and a devoted fan.

I would just assume that as a famous person you would not want to be having private chats with fans over messaging services because you have better things to do.

Also hasn't Quinton gone through multiple editors at this point because he underpays and overworks them? I seem to remember him being sad because he got called out on that by Dan Olsen, of all people. My understanding is that the sexual harassment accusations against Quinton were bunk, but he is also not treating his editors very well from a professional standpoint.

I think the tragic irony of Quinton's pivot to doing infinite sitcom recaps is that while he's seen noticeable success from the perspective of views and subscribers, he doesn't seem particularly happy? These videos seem to be absolute nightmares to work on even with him outsourcing the editing to teenage fans, and it seems like he's got some major anxieties about keeping the view train a'rolling. It's a classic case where someone gets so hung up on being a successful Youtuber that they completely lose track of why they wanted to be a Youtuber in the first place.

I get the sneaking suspicion Quinton is depressed when his videos have 30 minute detours where he goes over how depressed and anxious he is.

I've been watching preview stuff and some of the developer updates on it. It has the potential to be "mid" I suppose, but you can tell they're just barely finishing things ahead of new preview footage, and I wonder how much they'll be able to polish the writing, animations, and physics before the release even with as many corners as possible cut. So like, optimally it might wind up a janky-but-interesting-mess like The Sinking City. Or it might just be a mess like the Call of Cthulhu video game.
