@Galidrum I was being diplomatic. I don't want to paint with a wide brush here but asymmetric open-world PvP is a euphemism for seal clubbing at OM markers. I was trying to make it sound less offensive than what it really is.

All good, But the assumption that open world fights are not both sides looking for a fight is wildly incorrect, which leads me to believe my assumption was indeed correct. There are no doubt fights that are one-sided, but literally yesterday on my stream in the open world, we had a big battle that was unscheduled, unplanned, and not agreed too by either side…. Yet both sides had a lot of fun and it was intense and not something you get in PvE gameplay. That is what appears to be missing from your POV in that video. As I said in my post. I don’t know you at all, so I’m only making assumption on a few of your videos that I’ve watched. Happy to chat further on this as well! I also host a podcast where I discuss topics like your video nearly every episode if you want to chat there as well. Be happy to have ya

@CaptainKatarn Hey man, I commented on your video but I’m guessing it’ll be lost in the flood of rage bait you’ve got in that comment section. Based on that video, I’m going to assume you’ve never had some truly epic fleet battle and PvP action in Star Citizen. Let me help change that (assuming my assumption is correct) we often run large scale PvP events and have creators like yourself join us semi-often! Happy to share some references if needed. Goal from my POV: I want to see an updated take video from you on the other side of PvP that it seems you are missing. The massive stories and epic scale and battles. That kind of stuff that CIG simply can’t create no matter how cool the AI design.

I've never thought that right click and hide user from channel would create this much salt. Totally worth it. You made rude comments last year that got you banned and apparently haven't stopped trying to comment since. Working as intended. I've give you this, Dr Disrespect was successful as an over the top caricature of a stereotype. Looking at your bio here I think you actually believe all of the self accolades and that's probably why you don't have an audience. One is entertaining one is sad.

@CaptainKatarn So you lied about me making rude comments to people in your comment section? Lmao nice. And do voids usually talk back repeatedly like you are now? 🤣 Either way, PvP is more popular than PvE and your video was politely proven wrong in a multitude of ways - case closed.

@CaptainKatarn Your video and this comment reply has so many falsehoods, it needs to be addressed: 1. Open world sandbox full loot games do great. Rust has been in the top 10 Steam games list for years and only rises in population. It has an average of 120k concurrent players. 2. Other areas than AC or Hathor have plenty of PvP. I have DAYS worth of footage from PvP in Pyro, and snaring in Nyx is very popular. Check my YouTube for proof. 3. Dune Awakening had its biggest player loss 2 weeks after launch which was when the Anti PvP update came out. Concurrent players went from 100k to 50k overnight. Check the Steam Charts. 4. PvP dominates the gaming world. League of Legends had 2 bil in revenue per year, compared to GTA5 which only had 1 bil on average. Top 10 Steam games list is dominated by PvP. 5. Ask yourself: why don't other companies like Blizzard release concurrent player counts like Rust and Eve do? Probably because they aren't as high as you think and the game is a house on stilts. Open for convo and debate on this, respond anytime!

@heimdelight If you replied to me I wouldn't see it, no one would that's how it works. You've been shadowbanned for over a year now. Scream into the void man. Write another blog about it. You are really important.

Why are you lying? I only replied to YOU regarding YOUR video, I didn't reply to anyone else. Show me proof I replied to anything BUT your video. It doesn't exist. My discord? My group? I didn't tell anyone to go to your video and say anything. You admitted to shadowbanning me, which only provided a counterpoint to the MANY false claims on your video. Who's to say you aren't shadowbanning other people who left comments that prove your video wrong? You're not debating this topic in good faith, you're a manipulative liar. Your comments that agree are a FRACTION of the tens of thousands of people who responded to multiple polls on Reddit, X, and Spectrum over the years who say they've only experienced PvP once or zero times over the course of a year of playing. That sample size is far greater than anything your video will ever touch. Not to mention the THOUSANDS OF HOURS of streamers who do nothing but PvE and never run into PvP. You have zero data on your side other than your own YouTube comments - which are skewed to your delusional PvE only audience. Pathetic. The reason you can't debate any of the points I brought up is because YOU KNOW YOURE WRONG. The entire premise of your video is wrong. Your comments are wrong. And it's proven by objective metrics available for everyone to see. Love when coward PvE players like yourself run from these debates, you have nothing. You lose. I pray the CIG devs aren't as vapid as you are, they would easily be able to see right through your act in which you lie about PvP and misrepresent the reality to help your soulless shallow gameplay loops. It's not hard

Star Citizen's Dream Was Never Possible. It's not about the server tech... In this video I break down why the single shard dream can't work on this scale without a complete overhaul to the 'verse. Video link in the comments. Screenshot: TTO Org 500 player server takeover.

Your games aren't yours anymore. PlayStation killed physical media. Stop Killing Games lost. You own nothing and pay forever. Except one game saw it coming and is on our side. Full video -> youtu.be/yuGl2UiMUks #StopKillingGames

The Banu Merchantman was built for a version of Star Citizen that may never exist. But that doesn't mean it can't thrive in the current game. In this video I dive into the systems they're building that might save this ship and trading. Full video -> youtu.be/KZyyhrxjb5c

In my experience, there's no such thing as luck. #MayThe4thBeWithYou

4.7 brought a major unannounced graphical update to Star Citizen. Lighting, shadows, and textures have completely changed and in an instant the game looks modern as any other. Additionally performance saw a major increase as well. Bravo CIG Full video -> youtu.be/YgU3xpW6ZJ4

The original Aurora was such a liability to CIG that they stopped offering it to new players years ago. The ship that launched the game was a terrible first impression. The MK II fixes that in a big way. But, can it beat the Avenger Titan? Full Video -> youtu.be/pdrFX7njlDU

Star Citizen changed how new players experience the game, the ship options for game packages, and most importantly, the price of entry. Does Star Citizen's gameplay justify a new $60 entry price point? Full Video -> youtu.be/X1e4epZhbg8?si…

That's funny. This picture is a stock photo from Adobe's library, and I added my usual branding in photoshop. Somehow it got tagged as made by AI. Researching that took me down the C2PA tag rabbit hole. Talk about interesting.

I've been dismissing the AI hype for years. "It's all slop." "It's a buzzword." "It won't affect me." Then I watched it do my job in 3 minutes on a 22-year-old Star Wars game and I haven't been the same since. This is the future, it's here. Full video > youtube.com/watch?v=Hz_SxU…
