Latest shitstorm on /v/ other than the Dead Island boobies. Basically the GG are playing the Dead Space 3 demo because EA is paying them to do so. The unique link given to them is listed in their description and counts how many times people click it (put a ~ next to the url of the demo to see how many clicks it has). Pewdiepie is another sold out LPer who has his playthrough of the demo with his unique link. GG tries to use humor at times to make it seem less of a sell out but they backtrack every time they make a negative comment and they compliment stupid things so that EA gives them their money. Pretty disappointed to see them stoop to what has been tarnishing the gaming industry.
TL;DR GG is playing Dead Space 3's demo to shamefully promote a game they don't support and to get money from EA.

Edited by Hylebos: 1/15/2013 11:19:48 PMI watched it earlier today, and I didn't feel particularly betrayed. I found all the the tongue in cheek "Oh look, this bird has a message!" bits very amusing, and it was fun to see their reactions, and they even criticized it in places. They could have made it about 20x as subtle, but they seemed pretty damn transparent about it to me.
