  1. Upper Echelon Gamers : OK, what the writers did with CoD was wrong. No question. That kind of revisionism can be dangerous, if it’s not clear that it’s fiction. But, the fact is, you don’t KNOW, “WHY,” they did it. You proffer NOTHING, in terms of, “evidence,” but have a LOT of, “conclusions,” anyway. No quotes; no statements from the makers; have you even ASKED them about it? Or, seen any other journalist’s insight into WHY they did it? Because, if you have ANY facts, you didn’t put them in this video? You believe you see an agenda at work, but this time, I don’t see it AT ALL. All you HAVE is your emotional response, articulate though it may be, it’s still only that. I guess I’m seeing the Balance disappear from your videos, which saddens me. I got it, early on, when I started watching your vids, that you’re not impressed by the left, (I consider myself conservative) but I had you down as a centrist, with the journalistic integrity to genuinely see facts in isolation, without needing to put a spin on them. In this case, your GUESS work, ascribing the, “motivations,” about which you had NO WAY of, “knowing,” about, but keep referring to as this, “growing tendency,” you see everywhere, but are unable to substantiate, smacks of paranoia or deliberate propaganda. If you could substantiate it, I may well have agreed with you. But, no comments by the writers, no interviews, not even a, “rumour,” as to their agenda; no nothing. You can’t speak to WHY they did it, only that they did, but you decided you, “know why,” and complained about that, instead of finding out. That bothers me This is not the standard I have came to expect from you. I’m still an admirer, for all that. But, I feel somewhat guarded about that, now. Please don’t take a, “side,” in these culture wars? Your VALUE is in your journalism. Once you represent one side, over another, (regardless of which) your value is shot, and would be next to impossible to restore. As John Marston would say, “I implore you!” Be better than that. You usually are ✌️👍

  2. Scooter's Gaming : No, not really. They, “collaborated,” with the president to make him president, so why wouldn’t they help him, when he desperately needed a, “win.” That is, if they did? And, you didn’t just make that up? 🙂
