Good. YouTube Gaming "personalities" are shit, and arguably one of the biggest reasons that the gaming community is so riddled with cancer these days. Now we just need to get rid of PewDiePie and Markiplier.

>>385950049
>The Cuckpletionist considers retiring
That's.... not what's happening at all though.

Also Completionist is not retiring, he's actually going into full absolute madman mode and remaking his entire fucking channel. We'll see if he survives or not.

>>385950592
He completes a game 100% every week, that's the gist of it really. Some games are more difficult that others. It's not for everyone, but I find most of his stuff really comfy. Basically it's a review show where he actually plays the game.

>>385950640
>Point out that you're factually wrong
>YOU HAVE TO GO BACK

Christ just fuck off

>>385950049

I dare say it isn't e-celebs that have made gaming so cancerous, it's the industry and the casualization it's gone through itself.

>>385950049
>The Cuckpletionist considers retiring
You're an idiot. He's remaking the first 120 episodes. His Patreon is also at 6K a month, within a day.

>>385949828
He was.

Him and Greg co-created the show,
it got popular
they got an office
it was fulltime job for them both
him and his brother got greedy and wanted Greg to have less of a cut of the money
they tried to make Greg sign away his ownership and take less money or get out
Greg left
now Greg wants to put this all behind him

jirard is not taking it to court because he'd lose but hes doing damage control with this video by playing the victim when in reality he screwed his friend out of everything.

Hes so petty that once Greg left he put a word block on the word "greg" in the video comments.

>>385950864
Honestly I feel like he's one of the feel people on patreon who will actually make most of the content he promises considering how much he's already putting out.

>>385951140
How much did Greg actually contribute to the original videos outside of his VO work?

>>385950592
The videos used to be filled with cutaways and running jokes, making it like a scripted friend simulator. Then Akmed wanted to be more 'creative', and used that as an excuse to steal money off his friend/partner, friend fucks off before he got cucked. After waiting two years, and focusing on his musical career, friend requests that Akmed take down the videos where he makes silly noises (given he owns his likeness and never signed it away) so he can actually be taken seriously and move on with his life.

>>385951338
A lot of scripting. Have you not noticed the voice overs are a bit shitter and lack pop since he left?

>>385951160
I do too. I don't want him to become Spoony tier though. I know it's gonna be a lot of work 100% beating games like Catherine, or Dark Souls again.

>>385951338
Given how hilarious the recent videos are, Grerg did pretty much everything that made the show more than Akmed talking about the children's game he played this week

>>385951338
He co-wrote everything
without him it may not have even got big

The point being he co-created it and was forced out, but everyone is so far up jirards ass that they will follow anything he says.

Poor Greg

>>385951678
This, Greg was the funny man to Jirards straight.
sadly the Jirard family couldn't see past money

>>385951567
>>385951678
>>385951683
Honestly Greg irritated me most of the time, though I can understand people liking his work too. They both still seem pretty obtuse on what happened so I'm guessing a lot of what you're saying is speculating, possibly spot on speculating, but guess work non the less.

I like this guy since he completes video games, I just can't stand kits and shit.

>>385951567
I've found that they are a lot less annoying since he left. the whole "BUT BEEEEARDMAN" thing was just fucking annoying and not funny.

>>385951140
>him and his brother got greedy and wanted Greg to have less of a cut of the money
>they tried to make Greg sign away his ownership and take less money or get out
Source? I'm not defending Jirard but i'd like more than specuation of proofs do exist

Why ask for a takedown? Wouldn't the other guy be getting a cut of the revenue from the videos he was in?
I dunno how the youtube monetization works.

I don't get people crying about youtube e-celebs and shit making money from what they do. It's just how the free market functions, regardless of what someone produces, if someone else is willing to pay for it then they will. Some people would ask why would anyone want a 2 foot long T-Rex cock and a fleshlight shaped like a horse's pussy but Bad Dragon is a successful company.

If you don't like the free market then move to Venezuela. I have a helicopter I can give you a free ride in.

>my favorite gaming youtuber is some no-name with 3.000 subs whom I've been following since he had around 100 and he just plays lots of games, always replies to the few comments he gets and does it all for fun because he's never seeing a single cent in revenue with those few views
I understand there need to be huge youtubers making big bucks as well, but it's very easy for them to get caught up in drama as a result.

Not based on what Greg has said and then what Jirard never denied. even down to the shitty tweets jirard sent out trying to make out like him and Greg were friends after he stabbed him in the back.

and that he has rights to take down the content he made

Fuck Jirard.

>>385952000
Thats the thing, Jirard hasn't been giving him any money despite Greg being in those videos.
Greg has every right to ask for a takedown and Jirard is playing the victim card perfectly acting like he's being Noble for taking them down when in reality he's being a total faggot who would get BTFO if he actually tried to fight it in court.

>>385952297
I was gonna post something similar.

You would think the point of completing a game 100% was to show the process of getting 100% in a game or whatever and make it entertaining but he's just another meme youtube reviewer.

>>385952321
Honestly if they're only working verbal agreements Greg might be fucked legally. Don't think he every signed some sort of syndication agreement with Jirard in relation to the videos.

>>385949828
Not video games.

>>385952321
>Jirard hasn't been giving him any money despite Greg being in those videos.
why does Greg deserve any? Most Actors don't get money every time a movie their were in is sold on DVD.

>boring reviewer
>100 percents games by just looking at gamefaqs
why do people like this guy again?

>>385952691
Greg wasn't an Actor tho, he co-made the videos

>>385952297
>>last 5 minutest of the video just spoils the last level and ending for you
He's dropped that format for like a year now, he doesn't spoil the end anymore.

>>385952691
Is there any legal precedence for a monetization system like youtube in terms of creators who leave collaboration channels? Like I doubt Jontron gets any revenue from old GG videos.

Reminder that Jirard managed to get to interview Miyamoto twice and Aonuma once, also showing the latter pics of him completing every single Zelda game.

>>385952908
So? Who gives a shit about meeting Miyahomo and Aonumbnuts?

>>385950049

Man, Mark is ok. He cries and gets sentimental a bit too often, but other than that he's relatively harmless.

>>385952441
Steve1989MREInfo

>>385952843
I don't imagine there is but I think if there was any actual legal paperwork involved the person would be entitled to money but if there isn't its all hearsay.

From what I've seen in the twitter post >>385952169 here, it isn't about money and more about controlling how his likeness is used and seen.

>>385949828
Greg
At least when Jon and Arin had a falling out, Jon didn't went the jew route and threatened Game Grumps to delete videos he was apart of

>>385952691
Checks from syndication are a real thing though.

>>385953436
not for Greg, for Jirard, it was always about money.
he ruined his friendship over money and now hes complaining about losing money in videos/pateron begging.

Where as Greg is left with nothing

>>385950375
is the logic of nintendo selling pokemon like cupcakes is somehow killing nintendo

>>385953451
I thought that was just for the creators though not the actors?

And I know Greg was a co-creator, I'm just asking out of interest.

Didn't read the thread, but what's the big deal here?

Those videos are old as shit, he says that they haven't been together in two years. Getting rid of old videos doesn't, shouldn't, impact what you're creating at the present time. Yeah, those playthroughs won't be there anymore, but it's whatever. F

>>385953436
>more about controlling how his likeness is used and seen
Lets be honest however, he's literally below z-list now, the only thing that's ever given him exposure is his work on The Completionist. Seems odd to get rid of the one thing people actually know you for, since I'm sure as shit no one is listening to his music.

>>385951567
yeah, the videos stoped being 80% unfunny singing

>>385950049
>AVGN onlyMike & Ryan now
There we go.

>>385953445
Arin bought in his own jews to stop Jon jewing him.

>>385949828
Can someone tell me in few words what this video is about. I dont feel like wasting 15 minutes on this.

>>385953596
No, royalties are 100% a thing
All the Seinfeld actors are still routinely getting money from the show, enough that they could retire and live decently if they wanted to.
Even one off stuff like Keith Hernandez still get a couple thousand a year from it.

>>385953562
I wasn't talking about Jirard though. just Greg. who said its not about Money. he just wants to be able to control his image and how he is seen or whatever. thats why he sent this video removal request to Jirard.

>>385953745
>music

>>385953745

>>385949828
Who cares? Neither of them are funny or entertaining, though the fat one's not as bad as greg

>>385953930
is it just a given or is it a contract negotiation kind of thing?

>>385954242
Totally a contract based item, not every show gets the massive deal that seinfeld got, very few actually get super lucrative syndication deals if no network wants to buy the syndication package.

Greg is being a little bitch on twitter over muh money and Jirard moved on with a bigger fanbase and plans to do all the old episodes again. What do you think?

Completionist instantly became kinda watchable when greg reddit wilmot and his shitty randumb humor stopped anyway

>>385954574
Is he really annoyed that Jirard is doing the old episodes over again?

>>385954686
I can imagine it took the wind out of his sails a bit, especially given he fact Jirard's patreon went up by $4000 over the course of a single day.

Greg posted this before he left and then promptly deleted it.

>>385949828
Hes certainly painting himself as the martyr, so much so Im a little suspicious

>>385949828
Greg was a faggot who brought the show down with his shitty "humor". Even more of a faggot now that he's trying to damage Jihad's channel by being petty as fuck, though Jihad is probably a faggot as well for kicking him out of the show.

>>385954997
I've seen that look in gangster movies, except the other guy ends up dead on an "accident".

>>385954997
Tonight. You.

>>385955183
He sure loves to keep his "sweet chill guy" persona so I'd be a shame if he was a dick all along.

I think Greg is in the wrong, considering how much he bitched and shit talked over thd years and his current tweets all have this "what are you guys talking sbout? I'm not mad" tone as if he's backpedaling

>>385954997
What is this expression trying to convey?

>>385950592
Hes tries to be funny while completely games. Only he doesn't talk about the end of the games any more.
And he really isnt funny.

>>385955636
I don't know, everyone who says they've met Jirard IRL says he's pretty pleasant, not exactly scientific evidence, but if he was actually real shitty I'd feel like there'd be more stories out there about his shittyness.

>>385954997

BUT BEARDMAN....! UUUH.... PIES! XDD

>>385949828
Didn't like greg but at least when he was around the cringe was restricted to him. Without him its all over the place
Either way this is a shitty move by him

Will anyone even bother to save and upload all the videos anywhere?

>>385956502
There's already a torrent up for 1-90.

>>385956502
probably. Jirard said he would copyright block any one put up on youtube to avoid drama but I kinda doubt he will be able to stop all of them.

>>385956562
Oh, okay. I think I might download it because my autism can't stand to see content being lost forever but I don't see myself ever watching that stuff again.

>>385956678
He said it's fine to upload a pack with all the videos on any torrenting site though.

It would be better if it was just more focused on vidya and less on random jokes

BEARS
I'm so fucking glad Jirard is redoing the old episodes, I can't stand the older episodes because of that faggot.

I'll believe he'll redo them when he starts streaming. It's hard to take announcements seriously with him. Xenoblade streams, the podcast, super fitness bros. Never happened. Course I know why, he works himself to the bone and bites off more than he can chew

>>385956303
thats the only diference, i cant grow a beard for shit, but im just as fat and brown

That's untrue. Dude is gonna redo all the videos and stream himself doing them on twitch.

Arin isn't funny at all without Jon, they played far too well off of each other and as entertaining as he is Dan is just a Yes Man
