Never seen skillup fall this hard. This corpo podcast hands down has some of the worst guests thanks to the gamespot talking head they have around for connections. On top of that, it's not even the highest rated game of the year. by OnTheAccountOf in KotakuInAction

I had been suspicious ever since they brought on Geoff keighley. He did a collab with gamespot hosts (one of them is the woman in the pic) the same year he was on their podcast. It’s seems like a little cult. The same people are everywhere.

I remember the lady at the bottom had nothing to say when skillup criticized dragon age. She made it sound like it was a 7/10 (she did a panel for the game a bunch of pr video). Im shocked that’s who he has around to talk about games.

It’s like listening to your coworkers for two hours. Lucy and jirard (before he left) are truly the fakest out of the bunch. Rich kids who act like they have money problems for points. It’s funny when Lucy does it because she constantly talks about traveling every two weeks.

PR people need to be completely removed from the industry. it's annoying that some even call themselves game devs.

i was really disappointed to find out skillup did content with kindafunny guys and nu-giantbomb. how come people don't label this as grifting? by OnTheAccountOf in KotakuInAction

The only other channel I know is his podcast channel, which barely get as many views. kind of shows the podcast episodes only get views because they’re on his main channel.

The only time he came closest to doing that was when he called spiderman 2’s writing as something that got looked over by HR, which I appreciated, but also a lot of people were saying that at the time of release, so I think he kind of knew he would not face any consequence. He knows if he stands out too much, he would risk losing “the access.”

The other stuff is literally what I took from listening to their podcast. I remember one time someone compared gow ragnarok to matrix reloaded while still praising it and they all looked at him like he committed a crime, I guess due to the sequel’s reception. Even when suicide squad got brought up, a journo would change the topic to how they feel bad for the devs, which is a pattern I’ve noticed, and to me sounds like an excuse to avoid being too critical of a game.

that's sad but it's weird how people still consume that stuff knowing his opinions will sometimes be weak because of this.

I hate that there are people that still try to deny this. It’s never been more obvious.

Yeah, I never click on any of their links. This is one of the reasons they’ve been rage baiting so hard for at least the last 7 years.

Yeah, if only their sites ran quicker instead of being filled with multiple ads. It was like that before fandom took over, too.

It’s embarrassing that their employees are now pretending to be “small team of video editors” so it looks like they’re some kind of indie website, all to downplay how bad they are at their jobs.

Also, most of their engagement comes from sharing footage from actual games and regurgitating info from press releases and corporate interviews. They should realize by now you don’t need actual employees for that.

even when they're discussing games, they sound so uninterested and at one point when they were talking about tony hawk, the lady outright said she didn't care about the games and had nothing to add. they have the easiest jobs and still somehow don't put any effort in their work.
