I'm not supposed to give my own opinion or speculation on this show, but I think 00:00:58.960 --> 00:01:06.300 Ok, I think I might have a clue of why the Battlefield 5 preorders are doing so poorly. 00:01:06.560 --> 00:01:09.980 But I think it might have something to do with the Battlefield 5 trailer 00:01:10.220 --> 00:01:14.520 Completely flopping, getting four hundred and sixty thousand dislikes 00:01:14.520 --> 00:01:17.380 as opposed to three hundred thirty four thousand likes, 00:01:17.400 --> 00:01:20.720 making it the worst reveal trailer in their history. 00:01:21.080 --> 00:01:24.800 And it seemed to focus more on pushing some form of social justice agenda 00:01:25.060 --> 00:01:28.640 as opposed to just focusing on making it the coolest trailer they could make. 00:01:28.840 --> 00:01:31.600 You see this? That's a girl with a bionic arm. 00:01:31.740 --> 00:01:36.880 That's right. They exist in World War 2, and if you don't think so, then you're just uneducated 00:01:37.100 --> 00:01:40.360 Oh, you think I'm joking? No, that's what EA actually responded and said. 00:01:40.580 --> 00:01:41.520 *laughs* 00:01:41.520 --> 00:01:44.320 "Accept it or don't buy the game" 00:01:44.820 --> 00:01:50.680 The chief design officer of Battlefield, Patrick Soderlund said: 00:01:50.680 --> 00:01:54.340 "We felt like in today's world - I have a 13 year old daughter that 00:01:54.340 --> 00:01:58.760 when the trailer came out and she saw all the flak, she asked me, 'Dad, 00:01:58.869 --> 00:02:03.989 why is this happening?' She plays Fortnite, and says, 'I can be a girl in Fortnite. 00:02:04.080 --> 00:02:08.320 Why are people so upset about this?'" And Soderlund responded with *punch* 00:02:09.180 --> 00:02:12.480 WE PLAY THE SIMS IN THIS HOUSE OR BATTLEFIELD! 00:02:12.480 --> 00:02:14.460 I'm just kidding. That's not what he said. 00:02:14.489 --> 00:02:19.079 What he said was "as a parent, how the heck am I gonna respond to this? 00:02:19.080 --> 00:02:22.240 And I just said 'You know what? You're right. This is not okay'". 00:02:22.300 --> 00:02:26.040 Then they go on to say "These people who are uneducated 00:02:26.049 --> 00:02:31.078 they don't understand that this is a plausible scenario." Hey guys uh 00:02:31.599 --> 00:02:34.319 you remember that plausible scenario where the 00:02:34.700 --> 00:02:39.830 girl with the bionic arm in World War 2 just made everyone look completely like fools 00:02:39.830 --> 00:02:44.029 I had no idea what they were doing. Remember her remember that that's a plausible scenario 00:02:44.250 --> 00:02:47.539 Everyone knows that are you uneducated or something like that? 00:02:47.540 --> 00:02:52.610 Ya dingus. Then finally Patrick Soderlund said "we don't take any flack 00:02:52.610 --> 00:02:56.569 We stand up for the cause, because I think those people who don't understand it 00:02:56.569 --> 00:03:03.420 well, you have two choices: either accept it or don't buy the game. I'm fine with either or it's just not okay. 00:03:03.540 --> 00:03:04.040 What is this? 00:03:04.540 --> 00:03:07.360 Electronic Art chief design officer is leaving! 00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:08.020 What?! 00:03:08.020 --> 00:03:12.140 just two moths before the launch of the new installment of one of it's biggest franchises, battlefield 00:03:12.300 --> 00:03:15.460 Patrick Soderlund has been with EA for nearly 20 years 00:03:15.900 --> 00:03:21.800 Earlier this month Crowen said pre- order sales of battlefield 5 have been weak. This is really strange 00:03:22.049 --> 00:03:27.859 You know, I shouldn't be putting pieces together, but I think I understand what happened here this response to me 00:03:27.860 --> 00:03:30.139 It sounds like someone that just doesn't care 00:03:30.140 --> 00:03:35.989 it's someone that doesn't want to take criticism or at least not trying to understand what the criticism is and 00:03:36.120 --> 00:03:40.280 instead you're drawing the line in the sand between your consumers and what your 00:03:40.460 --> 00:03:46.460 ideology is. And this is the problem that you face when you push social politics into video games because 00:03:46.500 --> 00:03:50.329 Like any politics is all about making your opponent seem like a villain 00:03:50.420 --> 00:03:58.020 So you're basically making your consumers the villain here and he's saying well if you don't like what we're trying to do here you're uneducated 00:03:58.100 --> 00:04:02.300 Don't buy the game and instead of trying to understand what the actual 00:04:02.549 --> 00:04:06.108 Criticism he's making the criticism seem like "oh 00:04:06.109 --> 00:04:10.849 You're just uneducated or you're just a sexist or all you don't want to see women in video games, huh? 00:04:10.850 --> 00:04:14.629 Is that the problem?", when really that's not the problem at all. 00:04:14.850 --> 00:04:20.929 Patrick is not wrong for saying that today's gaming is gender diverse or he's not wrong for looking after the interests of his daughter 00:04:21.060 --> 00:04:27.470 in video games. If the option was just for females to be a playable character in battlefield 5 no one would care, but this 00:04:27.980 --> 00:04:32.960 Trailer showed so clearly that you care more about pushing this agenda 00:04:32.960 --> 00:04:39.720 Than making a cool trailer. That's a problem. It's a statement this trailer. It's basically saying "hey, huh? 00:04:39.740 --> 00:04:43.940 What do you think about this? Huh? What's your opinion about this? Huh? Look what we did" 00:04:44.070 --> 00:04:49.129 That's why people don't like it and instead of trying to acknowledge that and trying to understand that 00:04:49.320 --> 00:04:55.129 He says that everyone else is just uneducated. So it's no surprise really that he was let go after this 00:04:55.130 --> 00:04:59.810 I don't really want to celebrate people losing their job or whatever, especially working so long 00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:06.440 But maybe this would have been for the better. I understand that. It's a good intention just really bad execution 00:05:06.620 --> 00:05:10.560 Then the cluster if you haven't followed the marketing for battlefield 5 00:05:11.180 --> 00:05:14.760 It gets worse from here if you can *laughs* 00:05:14.980 --> 00:05:19.420 For some reason they decided to hire Trevor Noah to market battlefield 5 00:05:20.340 --> 00:05:24.680 Trevor Noah, of course, which everyone knows as a battlefield veteran everybody 00:05:24.860 --> 00:05:30.220 I don't know about you guys but whenever Trevor Noah opens his mouth I just cannot stop laughing. 00:05:30.220 --> 00:05:31.820 He's just too funny. 00:05:35.100 --> 00:05:38.180 Welcome everyone to the battlefield 5 live reveal 00:05:38.180 --> 00:05:43.789 I'm your host for this evening Trevor Noah, and I'm so excited to be here introducing this new edition of battlefield 00:05:43.790 --> 00:05:50.600 Which for some reason everyone has really assumed this battlefield 5 I mean and not battlefield V, could be V, why not V? 00:05:50.660 --> 00:05:53.400 It stands for vagina! *claps and laughter* 00:05:53.400 --> 00:05:56.400 See, I don't even need writers to do the work for me. I'm way better. 00:05:56.820 --> 00:05:59.980 No offense to Trevor if people like him great. 00:06:00.480 --> 00:06:03.780 but he's clearly so fake and it's so 00:06:03.960 --> 00:06:06.580 painfully transparent during this 00:06:07.100 --> 00:06:11.760 reveal that they did - the remarks he makes are so cringy 00:06:11.940 --> 00:06:15.860 Trevor: co-op is back and that's one of my favorite aspects of Battlefield 1 00:06:16.020 --> 00:06:18.220 Felix: Battlefield one?! Oh... 00:06:18.440 --> 00:06:19.780 Trevor: favorite aspects of Battlefield 1 00:06:20.040 --> 00:06:21.840 First and foremost, Trevor Noah. 00:06:21.840 --> 00:06:23.160 Trevor: first and foremost 00:06:23.820 --> 00:06:24.520 I'm a gamer. 00:06:24.900 --> 00:06:26.300 "favorite aspects of Battlefield one" 00:06:26.420 --> 00:06:32.160 I'm a gamer, first and foremost everybody. You would expect anyone to believe this? Yikes, ok. 00:06:32.240 --> 00:06:35.640 Trevor: Wow, the car, the thing, the man, the boo 00:06:35.900 --> 00:06:40.240 You saw the thing man. Uh-huh. I hope they got insurance. That was insane. Do you see that? 00:06:40.260 --> 00:06:45.260 How many millions do they spend on this look at it. They built this whole set, right? They hired Trevor Noah 00:06:45.440 --> 00:06:47.280 How much do you think this cost? 00:06:47.280 --> 00:06:53.280 I feel bad cuz clearly there's so many bad decisions being made by a minority of people 00:06:53.620 --> 00:06:55.620 I'm sure there's plenty 00:06:56.140 --> 00:06:58.520 of really talented people working on this game. 00:06:58.720 --> 00:07:01.380 Dice is a very good studio 00:07:01.500 --> 00:07:04.900 I think they made some amazing games that I'm really a big fan of, 00:07:04.900 --> 00:07:08.540 But it seems like you got the wrong people making the wrong decisions 00:07:08.540 --> 00:07:14.080 and I I don't know I feel bad for all the other people working on it cuz there's probably a massive team on it 00:07:14.120 --> 00:07:20.960 It's gone so far that even the fans of battlefield 5 themself are memeing the whole thing. 00:07:20.960 --> 00:07:26.120 (Gru's plan meme) mess up the reveal, tell people not to buy the game if they don't like it, people don't buy the game 00:07:26.400 --> 00:07:29.620 What?! People don't buy the game! Big shocker everyone 00:07:29.820 --> 00:07:33.680 (infinity meme) Fans: Did you completely f up the marketing for this game? EA: Yes 00:07:34.180 --> 00:07:35.240 Fans: What did it cost? 00:07:35.520 --> 00:07:36.020 EA: EVERYTHING 00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:36.820 (poppy pops again) 00:07:36.820 --> 00:07:37.680 that's it for the - that 00:07:37.860 --> 00:07:39.100 next news (meme review clap) 00:07:39.580 --> 00:07:41.460 Here's a sentence I never thought I would say: 00:07:41.620 --> 00:07:44.540 A furry got accepted into NASA. That's right. 00:07:44.880 --> 00:07:49.700 2018 everybody. What a time to be alive. On Twitter, Naomi H tweeted: 00:07:49.760 --> 00:07:54.180 everyone shut the f up I got accepted for a NASA internship 00:07:54.460 --> 00:07:58.560 Then, Homer Hickam, or Haickam, I don't know, tweeted back saying "language." 00:07:59.020 --> 00:08:00.480 then Naomi (laughs) 00:08:00.540 --> 00:08:01.600 (faceplam and tries to not laught ) 00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:03.000 tweeted back 00:08:03.000 --> 00:08:06.820 Suck my dick and balls I'm working at NASA 00:08:06.940 --> 00:08:13.140 Homer responded with "I am on the National Space Council that oversees NASA" 00:08:13.320 --> 00:08:20.020 *sings* What's this? *laughs* 00:08:20.140 --> 00:08:25.180 "NASA intern loses job after vulgar tweet" Oh my god 00:08:25.240 --> 00:08:29.280 This is just too funny. It's too good. How did this happen? 00:08:29.300 --> 00:08:32.400 How do you not look up who you're tweeting at if you 00:08:32.400 --> 00:08:36.020 tell someone to suck your dick and balls? They got the most irresponsible 00:08:36.060 --> 00:08:40.080 person I know, even I would do that a 00:08:40.180 --> 00:08:47.060 A simple Google search and you would know that Homer Hickam is a former NASA engineer who trained the first Japanese astronaut 00:08:47.380 --> 00:08:48.040 Jesus Christ 00:08:48.120 --> 00:08:52.320 So basically, Homer wasn't the one responsible for Naomi losing 00:08:52.900 --> 00:08:56.909 Her internship, he made a response to this saying he wasn't offended by the word 00:08:57.070 --> 00:09:01.569 He was actually looking after Naomi to make sure that this wouldn't get her in trouble 00:09:01.660 --> 00:09:08.460 And the fact was that actually all the people that kept hating on Homer for tweeting this 00:09:08.540 --> 00:09:11.440 Actually are the ones that brought it to NASA's attention 00:09:11.440 --> 00:09:15.920 because they used a ashtag NASA ashtag or whatever, and the ones that actually were 00:09:15.920 --> 00:09:18.200 responsible for the recruit - the recruitment 00:09:18.200 --> 00:09:25.080 of this individual, saw it and then decided. Well, we can't let this person come on board, which is pretty understandable 00:09:25.249 --> 00:09:32.589 I'm not for anyone losing their job or internship or whatever. I hope that this person do actually get another chance 00:09:33.290 --> 00:09:35.290 But it's really funny 00:09:35.300 --> 00:09:42.729 Nevertheless just from the sense of "haha screw you guys self justice instant self justice" 00:09:42.729 --> 00:09:45.380 It's funny. I think most people can agree on that 00:09:45.900 --> 00:09:46.400 (poppy pops again ) 00:09:46.720 --> 00:09:47.500 NEXT NEWS 00:09:47.980 --> 00:09:49.320 Fornite gets an update 00:09:49.600 --> 00:09:55.380 You can now press down to thank the bus driver before jumping in Fortnite 00:09:55.780 --> 00:09:57.540 *claps* We did it guys 00:09:58.000 --> 00:10:03.000 We did it. Our memes made an influence. I'm so proud 00:10:03.060 --> 00:10:08.600 we chilled this In a meme review in June talking about the bus driver meme 00:10:08.740 --> 00:10:14.019 Immediately you guys started memeing it on the PewDiePie's subreddit the same day 00:10:14.019 --> 00:10:16.178 It came out people started tweeting 00:10:16.180 --> 00:10:18.700 There should be an option where you can thank the bus driver 00:10:19.200 --> 00:10:20.360 and they listen so now 00:10:20.680 --> 00:10:23.220 Thanks to thanks to the power of memes 00:10:23.509 --> 00:10:29.469 We made a positive impact in the world and you can now thank the bus driver in Fortnite 00:10:29.469 --> 00:10:35.060 I've never been this pride - proud. Give yourself a pat on the back everybody, we did it. 00:10:35.060 --> 00:10:40.900 Fornite has officially become the best royale game. I'm sorry PUBG, you had your chance. 00:10:41.840 --> 00:10:43.189 NEXT NEWS 00:10:43.189 --> 00:10:45.960 Youtubers are feeling the burn 00:10:46.420 --> 00:10:47.000 OOOH 00:10:47.200 --> 00:10:51.699 What are they complaining about now? Huh? I don't want to hear this Swedish millionaire complain again 00:10:51.700 --> 00:10:54.740 Alright, the reason I'm bringing this up is because uuh 00:10:54.940 --> 00:11:00.520 It got a lot of mainstream media attention that youtubers feeling fatigued or worked out 00:11:00.920 --> 00:11:06.399 It was covered by The Guardian and the Telegraph and Polygon, I actually didn't hate their article, how about that? 00:11:06.399 --> 00:11:09.938 They also mentioned my video in it. I made a video again 00:11:10.650 --> 00:11:12.600 I think a month ago or something like that 00:11:12.600 --> 00:11:18.170 where I talked about - I try to give some insight on what it's like to be a use of creator and I did this mainly 00:11:18.170 --> 00:11:25.070 Because I think a lot of people think that just because you get money and fame all your other problems will go away 00:11:25.350 --> 00:11:28.520 And I try to get some insight to explain 00:11:29.220 --> 00:11:34.940 Why that isn't necessarily the case. I know it's really tired and overhearing me talking about this 00:11:34.940 --> 00:11:41.150 But I think this video probably played a big impact on this getting more attention, which I'm really glad about. I 00:11:41.220 --> 00:11:46.910 Luckily don't feel burn out. I feel better than I ever done on youtube. And this is all really thanks to 00:11:47.550 --> 00:11:48.960 Me making better decisions 00:11:48.960 --> 00:11:50.940 I think and also you guys. 00:11:50.940 --> 00:11:56.840 It's so easy to get caught up with the numbers and this is what these articles are talking about because if you take a break 00:11:57.960 --> 00:12:03.349 It'll be a problem. And I feel bad seeing a lot of my friends suffer from this as well feeling burned out 00:12:03.630 --> 00:12:05.630 Feeling really worn down 00:12:06.000 --> 00:12:11.869 because of it and that's why I made that video to hopefully give people insight because I think the more people 00:12:12.660 --> 00:12:17.220 UNDERSTAND each other the world will be a better place. That's right. That's all I care about. 00:12:17.220 --> 00:12:21.240 I just want people to be happy trust me. That's my number one priority. 00:12:21.840 --> 00:12:25.100 Smash a like on this video so i will get more views that will help me out a lot 00:12:25.100 --> 00:12:28.380 Thank you very much for watching.
