I’m probably going to be crucified now but I’ll defend Mortismal a bit.
One thing is for sure about him: he’s definitely not a political grifter on either side. Every video I’ve ever seen from him he just focuses on things like gameplay and technical performance and never gets involved in calling out woke or anti-woke. There’s nothing clickbaity about him.
Plus he deserves some respect for spending literally years growing a channel dedicated to the fairly niche genre of CRPGs before BG3 broke big. I like the way he analyses games and his voice doesn’t irritate me at all.
Still, I can see why some people would criticise him, especially after that shitshow of a Veilguard review. I just don’t understand how he could have said it was probably going to be game of the year when it’s so radically different (and simplistic) compared to what he usually enjoys. His reputation took a huge hit there. Also he’s very rarely super critical of anything, it may be that he’s just a terminally nice and uncontroversial kind of guy, but you do wonder whether he gets paid to shill sometimes. And yes, there have been some legitimate questions asked about his 100% claims and possible use of Steam achievement manager.
But ultimately I’ll always find myself going back to his channel when I want to watch some CRPG content and I’ve found, bought and enjoyed some smaller games and older gems thanks to his videos. Despite everything I would say I’m a Mortismal fan, he‘s nothing like some of the disgusting grifters and traitors in this thread.
Oh and I absolutely endorse “9. Any faggot from UK who talks about gaming”.
