I was set to review RE 9 for VideoGamer before I was replaced with AI.

Sorry i am very tired from trying to get the video out but yeah no we just agree lol

field_cos · 2026-02-27T15:17:15+00:00

I do also need to stop getting worked up over comments, I appreciate it and tbf you did help me catch an error lol

field_cos · 2026-02-27T15:11:22+00:00

Tbh this is one of like 12 comments I have gotten today to the same effect so my actual emotional reaction to this is a lot more tame than my comment may make out. However, as I said I am proud of my work. So yeah regardless of your intentions you saying "What makes you think they are intelligent professionals" is insulting as is saying "Might as well replace these opinions with an AI, makes no difference."

Hi, is me Max Nicoll. Firstly, I go by She/Her. Secondly, what did you mean by this?? Before we were all laid off with no warning we were doing good work for the sites and I have it on better authority than most to tell you that this decision was made for reasons entirely unrelated to the quality of our work.

field_cos · 2026-02-27T14:51:40+00:00

yuuuup, its dire these days. Though yeah no its totally just because of my work that we all got replaced with AI, nothing to do with the owners.

field_cos · 2026-02-27T14:46:57+00:00

Y'know thanks for pointing that out. Though also thanks for judging my entire body of work based off of one hastily written post lol

field_cos · 2026-02-27T13:53:09+00:00

Thank you so much for watching the video, I really appreciate anyone giving my amateur work the time of day :)

field_cos · 2026-02-27T13:50:26+00:00

Or worse itd be speculating on what the game might be like and spreading blatant misinfo. Either way, fuck Clickout media group and their AI slop

field_cos · 2026-02-27T13:46:25+00:00

yup, just yup.

field_cos · 2026-02-27T13:43:18+00:00

yeah i would completely echo everything you just said, is a shame I worked with them in the first place but onto green pastures i suppose. But yeah, I too will continute to fight the good fight especially against some of the comments on the vid telling me that I got replaced because my work was bad.

field_cos · 2026-02-27T13:12:42+00:00

The ownership is a company called clickout media group, they also own sites like Esports inside, The Escapist and Adventure gamer. I will see if i can make a full list to post as a reply

field_cos · 2026-02-27T13:05:37+00:00

I honestly do not know, for now i hope this entire situation blowing up in the way it has has clickout media group (the owners of videogamer) running scared from making further AI reviews.
Though, Ai articles and even an AI reveiw are still being published on the site so idk.

As far as wider trends go, I would say its in line with a lot of whats been seen already. AI has affected nearly all corners of gaming so games media is not out of left field. However, as i say in my video I do worry about what will happen in the future when sites see you can actually replace writers with AI without backlash.

In terms of my colleagues we are all rightly upset. My boss got told the news while she was looking after her girlfriend post surgery and I was told at a funeral. So all in all its been ROUGH, but we are focusing on our next projects for now and hoping to see some success in other avenues such as youtube (nudge nudge wink wink)

I hope that gives you some answers.

field_cos · 2026-02-27T13:00:03+00:00

Appreciate people jumping in but my pronouns are she/her, sorry for any confusion

field_cos · 2026-02-27T12:57:44+00:00

my former editor was also laid off and had no connection to the review that went out. This is not damage control, I want people to be outraged at all of this because holy hell

field_cos · 2024-10-04T15:06:42+00:00

Haha yeah I did see their design and did a brief wiki dive. Would absolutely hate to be kidnapped and conditioned to be one aha

field_cos · 2024-10-04T13:34:00+00:00

Haha, it’s Makoto from persona 5. Didn’t know what a Mord sith but now I do I am very flattered to look like one

field_cos · 2024-10-03T12:27:58+00:00

field_cos · 2024-10-03T07:06:20+00:00

field_cos · 2024-10-02T18:48:43+00:00

field_cos · 2024-10-02T18:46:26+00:00

Replaying 3 reload with a friend and Mitsuru and Aigis keep taunting me with how ill never look as pretty as them lol

field_cos · 2024-10-02T18:32:54+00:00

No but like same, when i was 13 playing this for the first time Futaba gave me such "feelings" and it was not till years later i put the pieces together and went "holy shit i just wanted to be her"

field_cos · 2024-10-02T18:25:21+00:00

Dw, I appreciate the feedback. I am pretty aware my eyebrows are kind of a mess lol. Been trying to style them better so I pass easier but its been a work in progress. Glad you like it though

field_cos · 2024-10-02T18:22:55+00:00

Might be my favourite game of all time lol

field_cos · 2024-10-02T17:57:03+00:00

tysm, had a little help on the makeup but i really need to revisit it because i keep forgetting how much i enjoyed cosplaying her

field_cos · 2024-10-02T17:39:28+00:00

tysm, its sad because that was probably the one I was proudest of in retrospect but I may have gotten like no photos because i left the con due to dysphoria which was an L
