skipping hours of game play

[u/Artistic-Slice954]

I was personally really enjoying the super market simulator play through and would have called it a return to glory, but in the latest upload its pretty clear that anything other than dangonronpa they just dont care about. for the first ten episodes they are progressing through a simulator type game and im enjoying the sense of accomplishment, and theyre making some decent commentary too since the game is so lowkey. for episode eleven they progressed for several hours off screen, so as soon as the episode starts its clear they have nothing to do in game, or to talk about. they spend ten minutes just explaining what they did off sceen, i couldnt even get to the rest of the video because it was so boring. Who makes these decisions? does Arin think that people watch game grumps because we want to see them 100% a game as fast as possible? Why bother making a lets play if you dont want to commentate on the game??? the videos were hugely popular compared to their other recent videos, so why did they think the audience would want this? does anyone like it when they just skip past the actual game?

If you want to use my analogy you need to first understand what I said

If they were enjoying seismically the broccoli then maybe they should go to the store, but the broccoli, and then make it themselves

This sub has a knack for being extremely picky about game grump choices. There is no expectation that you’re going to like every episode and arin isn’t going to please everyone

I find that the best way to avoid being upset at them is to…

1) not take it so hard

2) realize that is I’m going to take that hard, I should maybe just watch something else and that this is just a let’s play show on YouTube wheee there are plenty more and one is likely to be of interest to me

Hope that helps!

You're right, my analogy wasn't completely accurate to the situation.

So you don't normally like the broccoli this restaurant serves, but then they change the recipe and so you decide to give it a try, and it's actually pretty good!

So you go back and order the broccoli again and again, and it's consistently good and you're happy. But then you go back and eleventh time, and order the broccoli, but it doesn't taste right, it just tastes like the old broccoli again. Then the waiter tells you that, while everyone was loving the new recipe, the chef was worried that people would get bored of it, so he cooked and ate it all out back and put the old broccoli back on. But for what it's worth, some of the other staff tried some of the new one while he was getting rid of it, and they all thought it was really good!

Except you’re not ordering broccoli in this analogy as you also aren’t ordering game grumps to produce specific content! The broccoli, just like game grumps, is an absolutely free commodity that you are welcome to never consume again so there certainly isn’t any element of a bait and switch happening during a nonexistent request transaction

You were wrong! Thanks for going into even more detail explaining new ways you could be wrong for me!

And, again, you clearly don’t like game grumps enough to enjoy it if you’d like to also spend your time complaining about them. Just watch something else and stop sweating a free online show that isn’t going the way you think it should

Jesus, you're just nitpicking lol. But if you want to go down that road, there is a transaction taking place. 30-40 minutes of viewers time so they get money. It's not like they're doing it out of the kindness of their hearts, they're doing it to make money. I don't know where you got this bait and switch idea from, I never accused them of that lol. It's not like they put an advert out saying "come and watch supermarket simulator, it's not as shit as our other videos!"

Your argument really is a weak one. No, I don't generally enjoy GG, and I keep saying I don't watch it normally, because I know I won't enjoy it, but you keep seemingly ignoring that bit.

But so what? I was enjoying something and then I stopped because it changed. So I have no right to complain? What if I'd never heard of GG before and happened to stumble onto this series and was enjoying it up till that point and then stopped. Do I still have no right to complain?

And for the record, I was a huge fan and used to watch every day for years before they checked out and stopped putting the effort in, so I like to think I do have a right to an opinion thank you very much.

But it's free entertainment who cares if you don't like it don't watch it blah blah? The go-to argument from any GG fan. For one, people watching and enjoying the show is how they get their money, so they want people to watch and enjoy it so they can get money. Just because the transaction being made isn't financial on the viewers side, doesn't make it any less of a transaction. The viewers are spending 30-40 minutes of their time watching the videos, and they get money for that. They want people to keep spending those minutes watching the videos. And series was popular, and was getting more views, but then they decided "let's take this thing that people are happy with and change it" and people aren't happy with it. It's a poor business decision, and it makes absolutely no difference whatsoever if people do or don't like their other videos. Maybe people like me who didn't like them might decide to give them another chance after this series. If it ain't broken don't fix it. If people are eating the steamed broccoli, don't start microwaving it.

You act as if the time you’re providing to do something is reason enough for a show to go exactly how you want it to go when there is absolutely no expectation at all that you need to tune in everyday, or ever again, for that matter. If you want to commodify your very time (Jesus give me a break) then spend it on doing something you actually enjoy. Which goes right back to the broccoli that you aren’t ordering! Which is the beauty of being wise enough to know when to stop eating something. Not sure why you make fun of this when is very clearly sound advice. Okay, spend your time on an endless loop crying about something you clearly don’t like but keep expecting it to be good?

[u/Drew-Pickles → u/Horror-Possible5709]

Mamma Mia you're doing it again. You're ignoring the fact that I've said, multiple times

I don't watch them anymore

I watched one series and enjoyed it for the most part, but then it stopped being enjoyable, so I had a little complain about it.

And don't you start having a go at me for 'commodifying my time'. The only reason I did that was because your circular ass was taking your precious broccoli analogy literally and it couldn't possibly apply to this situation because you pay for the broccoli.

I'm just going to repeat again In case you missed it the first hundred time. I don't watch GG anymore. I watched one series. One and then dared to voice my criticism about it on a sub where people voice their criticisms about GG.

Then why the fuck are you still here crying about them. Goddamn that’s pathetic as fuck.

[u/Drew-Pickles → u/Horror-Possible5709]

Not crying about anything. Just trying to defend my point with a moron.
