Best part was when he pointed out how their community manager celebrated on Twitter all those bigots unsubscribing. He could've just pointed out how the video sucks ass, but adding that part in was the cherry atop this shit sundae.

I honestly think it's kind of sad how Nazis have been so utterly demonized that even foot soldiers in video games and movies are shown to be insane psychopathic murderers. I'm not exactly cultured, but I can't think of many Nazi soldiers outside of JoJo's Stroheim and extemely minor character Mark that have been displayed as relatable humans in recent history.

I imagine most Nazis were just soldiers fighting for their country or drafted in, I doubt each one of them was a tiny Adolf clone personally blasting Jews with atomic breath. A story that showed soldiers from both sides stuck in a situation and being forced to work together and coming to understand each other would be infinitely more interesting than "ALL ENEMIES EVIL AND SUBHUMAN, NO ONE IS HUMAN EXCEPT GOOD GUYS".

Then again, something like that would also be demonized by those "people" so you'd have to have someone behind it who didn't give a fuck.

Hell, Oskar Schindler was a member of the Nazi party that realised the horror his side was committing and wasn't simply going to accept this and did all he could to save as many Jews as he could to great personal expense and as a result ,he was recognized for his actions and is the only Nazi buried on Mount Zion.

SJWs and their ilk go on and on about being on the right side of history, but they haven't got a clue of what that even means apart from, ironically, 'following orders'.

I suspect a lot of Extra Credits problems are financial. They make 14K a month from their 2 Patreons, maybe another 5 to 6k from ad revenue, merch etc.

That's not enough to fund what appears to be a team of 8+ people. Even assuming their constant whoring (eg loot boxes are a good thing') gets them a bit of corporate sponsorship

I suspect what's happening is something that Tim Pool constantly goes on about, that they've fallen back on hiring activists.

It's not just that they're hiring unpaid interns to do scut work, important positions are filled by people working at below market rates. So when those people see NAZI's everywhere, the management can't just tell them to shut the fuck up.

If we wager that they're making 20k a month, through basic math, that means they're making about 240k a year. Let's also be extremely generous say Rapist James is making about 35k through consultant fees and speaking engagements, just to round it out to a manageable 275k a year. Cost of living in Seattle is going to be a bit of a stretch; A one bedroom apartment is $1350 bucks a month in 2019. Conventional wisdom is that your rent should run about 1/40 your yearly salary, so these numbnuts should be making around 54k a year.

At what they're making they can comfortably employ 5 people. And I haven't even gone into equipment, an office rental (if they have one), and travel expenses for expos and conventions which would shrink that number even more.

JoJo : Eyes of Heaven let you play as Rudol von Stroheim
He was a Nazi Solider who fought along side Joseph against the vampires.

And probably named after director Erich von Stroheim, an Austrian Jew that emigrated to the US around the time of World War I.
 
I tell ya this video is going to be right up there with the vote video. At least with that Jello plugged and abandoned rather quickly by comparison and was able to regain some measure of dignity by leaving it in the past and going back to making the content his fans liked. EC on the other hand just keeps digging themselves deeper.

Why do they need 8 people? I mean you need maybe 4-5 tops, do they have an office because that's a cash black hole right there.

They could probably just make it clear you're not paying for James' defence lawyer and that'd save a couple of grand alone.

Because millennials don't know the value of a dollar.

So their new comment string is basically saying "lol, we weren't REALLY saying ANYTHING in our video so just pretend this never happened." Also while they are outright saying that playing a nazi doesn't magically change you into one but somehow still make the argument that it can sway you into thinking more seriously about becoming a nazi? I'm really failing to see a huge distinction here. Just because it's not 'instant' doesn't mean they aren't making the same basic statement. Playing a nazi normalizes nazi behavior. Which I must say that I really doubt. Again, roleplaying or even passively playing as a character doesn't mean that you're coming to sympathize or even agree with their point. I believe the desire of a developer is to have a player understand the character rather than always empathize with their position. and none of this means much at all in a casual multiplayer situation. I don't play a ton of war shooters but the ones that I have played are heavily focused on American and other Western troops that are considered 'good' from a historical standpoint. In a multiplayer match there's very little difference between the sides so nazi ideals aren't at all presented in a casual multiplayer match..

tldr Who gives a shit? EC is once again trying to sound much smarter than they actually are.

That actually looks kind of adorable, even including the historical photo edition. No clue how it plays, but I'm definitely intrigued.
 
Guys I was enjoying a hystorical book and it turns out i was reading from the perspective of a NAZI.
Now I starting revolting from the idea i was placing myself in his shoes, regardless that he tried to save as many as he could.
I want historical books be banned or remove any mentions of nazis in any form.
I'm going to start a book burning of anything involving WWII.

It's actually a solid game. It is one of the better deck building games I've played where you build your deck and then DO something with it.
