Real Life Alternate Timeline Hypothesis Question...

Member when AJ made the infamous DB vid calling it P2W?

Well, if you look closely, all he does is show his awful gambling addiction from lootboxes.

LOOTBOXES!

If SD refrained adding lootboxes to the game, AJ wouldn’t show his stupidity, thus others wouldn’t be discouraged and spread false rumors, and DB would’ve had a larger playerbase…

Or was it fated to have player population dropping like flies. Since one time travel theory suggests, that no matter how much you change the past, the fate won’t allow it, things will even out, no matter what.

would it really have though? would it not have made the game stale, what would have been in place of that system of getting loadouts. Only thing i could see replacing it is a mission based loadout card drops which would have forced sd to create loadouts which are by default harder to get and in turn much stronger

Well, Rag’s video (which luckily is one of the top results) evened it out, I guess.

Yeah, the staleness itself kills the interest overtime. I can only hope for 1.0 full release, after 6runk sacrifices his beard for the ritual. It’s the last chance to boom.

Player numbers wouldn’t drop because of a video, they just wouldn’t go up. Angry Joe’s video didn’t make current players leave, it just prevented new players from coming in because Angry Joe made a stupid mistake. I like the guy, but he pissed me off with his blatant ignorance. (also apparently he gets on his phone in movie theaters… that madman)

AJ is just parroting other people’s talking points now.

he was very ignorant and he didnt even took down the video even though he was proven wrong.

I don’t think he ever admitted to being wrong. He edited his description, saying:
You can now buy all a complete set of a Mercs Bronze Card Variations for $20, which will let you select the best gun and perk loadout. Does that walk the edge of pay to win? Up to you to decide.
basically using the “hey, I’m just the messenger” excuse.
He also said that _ its not TECHNICALLY Pay to Win_ but when you put “Angry Rant” in the title of a 43 minute video, people are gonna be turned away from the game just by the title, and definitely aren’t gonna stay to the end to hear him say it.
We all know that he didn’t really know what he was talking about, and basically called the game Freemium, even saying that you need RNG to get the kind of scopes that you want (what the fuck…?), but it definitely did not help the game. Even with Rags, Markiplier, TotalBiscuit, Muselk, and a bunch of other popular/semi-popular YouTubers showing the game in good light, a negative review will always shine brighter in the eyes of a consumer.
I don’t know why I got so lengthy with this, but considering how much I actually like AngryJoe, it pissed me off that he shit all over my favorite game of all time and then had too much fucking pride to admit he was wrong.
God, I wish that video never got made.
