I don't know why Doug is settling for comic book chump change and not trying for an indie videogame release. I think a platformer with his art would do gangbusters on Steam and Switch, as long as he could get past the hurdle of trannies trying to kick him off the stores.
He has said he's not interested in making any more books because there's no profit (and his youtube grift seems profitable). I can't see him making a video game, which is even more expensive to make, a ton more work and a lot riskier.
I still have affection for Earthworm Jim after all these years, so it's the nostalgia talking.
This is why I'm not a numbers guy. Sure I notice how high FNT's viewership is on their livestreams, but I'm not counting that like a goblin in Harry Potter. I view channels like Eric, Flash, ItsAGundam, Nedrotic, Terroriser, VanossGaming, etc. as what's possible. It's pointless geting uppity over numbers. There's 3BILLION confirmed users on Youtube. There is an audience for everyone. A guy made a sport out of rolling marbles down hotheels tracks supported by LEGOs and Kinex. There's room for European Lore's true passion... bitching.
Make me, bitch. I simp for HE.
Well, he definitely wasn’t wrong on point number 3.
TenNapel.
Not to be overly pedantic, but I think you mean political streaming career. Last I checked, Doug is persona non grata on YouTube. Aside from guesting on a few shows (he was on the Kino Casino somewhat recently to shit on EVS and Balldoguard Rekieta). Correct me if I'm wrong.
Doug captured lightning in a bottle with Earthworm Jim. Then he sold the rights to Dave Perry and Shiny Entertainment for said video games. Lord knows who holds the rights now. Apparently the corporate acquisition paper trail from Shiny (long defunct) eventually leads to Amazon Games. I guess that's better than Electronic Arts, or Activision.
Yeah, I figured Shiny owned the rights, given that one of the Gods in Sacrifice was "James."
Indeed and considering the unreal amount of dicksucking Zack did for the Image founders, it almost feels on purpose. The whole idea of worshiping the artist because the cover is the first thing a reader sees is retarded. The cover is rarely drawn by the interior artist and good art does not retain readership if the story and characters suck. And yet, in the eyes of Zack, the artist is a god.
He could have asked them to make non-Trump offerings for the label or give them their own label for parodies of all kinds. As for Doug, if he could not be asked to not waste ink and paper on Chick Tracks and make centrist stuff that alienate no one (no one reasonable that is), then that is on him. We do not need to hear opinion pieces. Of course, EVS might have done more to push him away but I do not trust either 's word.
One of the slogans the far-left has is "liberals get the bullet too". Imagine their opinion on the actual right wing. Pander to them, as CG, is pointless. Completely apolitical stories are impossible. At best, you can have stories with moderate views (both sides have a point etc) but what most stories did was either picking topics that united both sides (bankrobbers/terrorists = bad) or completely story centric problems (Doctor Bad Guy tries to create supersoldiers to take over the world). Another thing writers used to do was take a side but giving good justification for why they did (enviromental message but drawing examples for ecological catastrophies). Problem is that to the far-left, any story that does not praise everything they stand for while condemning all those who disagree even slightly is seen as being on the same level as Mein Kampf. You cannot write a story about these people that does not read as pro-far-left propaganda. If you do not include everything they want, you are Hitler.
Zack is too untalented and retarded to trace pictures, he'll just use shitty AI art instead.
Zack has half a brain, he left the other half in Afghanistan.
Doug is wishy-washy on politics, did you see his appearance on Kino Casino?
The guy is in academia and not surprisingly up his own ass. I'm sure he's got the same kind of massive ego as so many other members of elite institutions. YouTube is for the plebs who are beneath his vast intelligence, and these other channels are run by the riff raff less worthy and deserving than a genius like him and all that.
He was apparently part of the Earthworm Jim game that was going to be released on that bullshit Intellivision Amico, but they took his name off because they were getting heat for Doug being Doug. Personally think that was bullshit since that is his creation, but that's the times we leave in. There was also supposed to a Bigfoot Bill game too because he hit the stretchgoal for it, but I don't know what the fuck happened with that.
He did have a channel that was getting hundreds of thousands of views per video shilling for Trump and shitting on Democrats, but I think that got nuked since I don't see it in my subscriptions anymore. Now he's lucky to get anything past 15k.
Doug did get the comic rights which was how he was able to do the Earthworm Jim campaigns and was part of the reason he bailed on CG. I've heard he lost the comic rights again due to political sperging, but haven't been able to confirm it.
Well, they did. They bought it from Doug in the first place (a deal he's claimed he came to regret). Like I say, there was a lot of corporate mergers since then, and Shiny as it's own thing is long defunct. I presume some corporate monolith owns it now
I wouldn't expect Doug to write "centrist stuff," nor would that be my expectation for anybody in CG. If they want to, that's fine, but it's not an expectation. I'm the guy that sees no problem with Lim's Thump books, and think it's dumb Ethan did. If that was driven by a desire to chase the "centrist market," that's dumb. I am pretty sure a lot of centrists voted for Trump.
He's wishy-washy on more than politics. His morality is way too flexible for my tastes.
No, he's on youtube. He was advertising his channel on Kino Casino.
It wasn't that he worked with them, it's that HE WANTED TO BRING ATTENTION to the fact he worked with them. He's tried to appear as not extreme TO THE KINO CASINO AUDIENCE!
He made an appearance
Does Doug have a channel ON YouTube?
he has a channel where he reads political articles and huffs his own farts like an even more retarded boomer Tim Pool.
Thank you. That's all I wanted to know.
