I have personally thought that people on Twitter are just posting news because they like doing that. Simple as that.

Oh I agree I’m not saying otherwise, I’m just saying people aren’t willing to pay for something like that. I know for myself I would never pay to get gaming news no matter who it’s from and if they want to charge for that or not that’s up to the person delivering the news. It’s the same thing for me I would never buy a newspaper/website subscription either because that does not interest me in the slightest.

I don’t think people are willing to pay for stuff like that and like @Vivir said if there was a personality around it then I think people would sign up but because it was just news and that is all there was no face/person to support.

I use Twitter purely for gaming news actually and pretty much nothing else, followed them and will miss seeing their stuff but I am sure someone else will fill the shoes and or I will see the same news sooner or later after it has come out.

Used to be :stuck_out_tongue: they have had a big drop off on youtube so unless they’re massive on tiktok then idk where they’re getting their star power from haha.

I never expected anyone to think about having a salary by posting gaming news tbh, especially since there are plenty of other outlets that do that easily.

I don’t know why he quit. Long term he could have made a website and a news outlet.

It requires resources. Considering that some journos - people who are getting paid - stated that it was easy for them to get Nibel’s tweets and make the news, probably journos will have to work more :joy:

We sometimes joke about Sony fanboys and their ways, but wow.

In the comment section of a funny video someone said Nintendo and Sony aren’t the best of friends, Sony betrayed Nintendo etc etc. And then someone goes “oh, so how come Sakurai has added Cloud and Joker, both Sony first party characters to Smash Bros then?”

I can not…

:phil_lmao:

So much respect for what Nibel did and you have to think about it they were keeping us up to date 24/7. They were doing a much better job aggregating news than every video game company twitter account like you would have IGN and others that are very late aggregating news, and he was doing it at a rapid pace. It’s like what others said it’s a thankless job and they were the best at it

So ign wrote this article and seemed to have forgotten about grounded and pentiment.

Grounded has technically been out for quite a while, and Pentiment isn’t the “big first party” game that he’s referring to. Nothing is really wrong about the article it’s reporting on the quote he said.
