I think it's less to do with gbs specifically and more to do with the fact there was a time when let's plays were both a big deal and confined mostly to sa, drawing a lotta water from even non members browsing the site as well as the overall healthier forums community of the time. Lowtax is a lazy man and I think maybe that's all this island of misfit toys has ever deserved though, a midwestern drug addled captain to keep this ship of the damned afloat

SA is the McDonalds brothers of the internet, without a Ray Croc to actually monetize it. Accept it like the artisinal meme factory it is and hope that in 10 years SA is "ironically" hip.

I know it won't happen, but I wish Sony got their way here.

Imagine the tens of thousands of former lets players, without a creatively bankrupt way to make content.

out on the streets in the cold, recording themselves trying to open a can of dog food. Going to the library for free internet to upload it and maybe make 20c of it.

Is this Sony's way to get back at the players for broadcasting their content for free or whatever and they're pretending they are all video games like a grandma from the 90s calling everything a Nintendo

But meanwhile those tens of thousands of people are all earning far more money than you can ever imagine, by playing video games. No matter what job you currently have and are totally not bitter about, theirs is better in every single way. Even if the bubble bursts they have large enough fanbases and big enough personalities to continue making a comfortable living. Just think about it for a second Velkest, think, and smile. They've made it in this world, have you?

Considering that for years all I knew about Danganronpa is that it is "that one game that nerds get loving pissed about whenever the SA paywall goes up, it probably was that.

If I were Lowtax Idve put a permanent paywall on that thread alone.

Was the first Let's Play done on old Saturday morning kids shows in the 80s/90s? Like you'd just watch these other kids playing poo poo like Magic Pockets by phoning in and shouting, "JUMP! JUMP! DUCK!" And all that. Then you've got GamesMaster where you'd watch some nerd play Mega Man and then Roger Moore would make fun of a retard.
