Looking for good video game essay YouTubers that go over failed games, controversies, studio failures, "Why X game did Y", "The $75M Game That Killed Its Studio - The Tragedy of Fable Legends" etc ( self.gamingsuggestions )

submitted 7 months ago by yourdonefor_wt

I really enjoy listening to "Video essays" about failed games, problems with developers, controversies, etc. I was wondering if you guys had some suggestions on good YouTubers who do content like that. Il provide some titles here of like the content I'm looking for. These are some of the things I found but I was hoping you guys have some more ideas.

The $75M Game That Killed Its Studio - The Tragedy of Fable Legends

EA's "Worst Mistake" The Tragedy of Battlefield 2042

Where did blizzard go?

Why Pokémon Doesn't Care If Their Games Are Bad

The Day Before A Scam To Remember

And here are some channels that I'd like some recommendations for similar ones.

"Skill Up"

"Going Indie"

"Neverknows Best"

"GVMERS"

"nerdSlayer Studios" etc.

If you have any other good recommendations of these style of content creators, I would love to hear it. Thanks.

Matt McMuscles has a series called "What Happened" that covers the antics leading up to the release of various (in)famous games, consoles, etc.

Nerdslayer Studios has "Death of a Game" which is similar, but focuses on failed multiplayer / live service titles specifically.

Hard agree with this one.

Josh Strife Hayes has some amazing video game essays about old defunct MMOs, what they did well, and what they didn't do so well. His 2nd channel Josh Strife Plays has video game essays about many classic video games (Tomb Raider 1, BG1, Chrono Trigger to name a few), explains their entire plot/storyline and design choices with relevant footage from his own full playthroughs, and really goes into what made them good games.

So you specifically only want essays about failed games/devs/controversy? For YouTubers there's:

Matt McMuscles

Top Hat Gaming Man - he doesn't specifically focuses only on failed games/devs (he also does documentary/essays on other topics about games)

Austin Eruption - similarly he also does videos on other topics about games but among them are about failed games/devs/controversy.

big boss - he's done videos about failed games/devs/controversy but also on other non gaming related topics., unfortunately his uploads are few and far between.

WickedWiz - once again uploads are few and far between.

[–] GuiltyExcitement7952 2 points 3 points 4 points 7 months ago (1 child)

Second Wind or YongYea

[–] FusionFountain 1 point 2 points 3 points 7 months ago (0 children)

Neither of these channels do video essays or have any real focus on breaking down failed games, they just might cover recent gaming news related to a game with negative reception or something specific like that

[–] Rin_the_octoling 0 points 1 point 2 points 7 months ago (0 children)

Not too sure if Moon Channel would be something for you, but it's worth a shot recommending it.

[–] Trout-Population 1 point 2 points 3 points 7 months ago (0 children)

The Cold Take series on the Second Wind channel might be what you're looking for.
