Quoted from metallik:Sounds like this Cary fella needs to look up the definition of "consequences"
Or he can simply find another location to play at, or buy the games himself, or play a friends' game...
Stern and the location didn't shut him down, they just told him to get lost. You know... consequences.
Basically this. From a general glance at his videos and the clickbait thumb nails, he repeatedly shit on Stranger Things, shit on Heavy Metal, shit on the JP Topper, and from what i can tell has never bought any new Stern product. He is now saying he is buying a TMNT in a video which uploaded the same day as the video of him being "shunned" by the location (sounds a bit like an "okay im sorry, ill but from you dont hate me" type of thing. You can't repeatedly bash a company and then be shocked when you aren't invited to check out their newest product. This isn't censorship, its distancing yourself from a toxic personality.
Cary has a right to make the content he wants and bash who he wants, but can't be surprised when people don't want to be associated with him afterwards. In his last video he mentioned Cidercade, I guess he doesn't realize that Jared Guynes works as their social media person, and also works as Sterns social media person, so I highly doubt he will be allowed to film their either. He follows this up by saying he can always just go play at local collectors houses who have new games, and that is true, but that will deflate his "hot take/first impression" stuff if he has to wait for home buyers to get games as usually location gets first dibs.
Quoted from Darscot:The bias is strong in this one. Your lack of understanding of how content creation works and its place in marketing makes it impossible to have any kind of discussion. There is a reason You Tube is what it is, there is a reason content creators make millions of dollars. Its really really good for business. If they had endorsed and supported Cary he would have posted a video how awesome TMNT was and we would all be discussing how Stern has converted him to his first NIB. It's amazing that you can not see how stupid this was of Stern.
Sounds like you have some great ideas for marketing products. You work for one of the largest video games companies in the world who seem to always be stirring up bad will/pissing off the gaming community. You should focus more on giving them these great ideas and less on telling other companies how to do things.
