Cheating In Speedrunning, I'm EXCITED ... I Mean Upset
🕑 Added 2022-08-09 18:12:22 +0000 UTCNew patreon exclusive podcast where I talk about this recent trend of videos with millions of views exposing cheaters in speedrunning. We all hate cheating, but are we getting to the point where the exposed vids of cheating are becoming more popular than the games themselves?

absolutely my dude! It's sort of the reality tv issue ha, I wonder if a lot of this drama content is a substitute for it in a way.

Great podcast as usual, I'm not sure how you solve this problem as the drama stuff is way more accessible and immediately appealing to broader audiences as you note. It might just be inevitable when something Internet-focused gets too big, I've noticed parallels in other domains as well. Complicated issue for sure.

Yeah it's like a Pandora's box where once you let out the reality tv elements of a genre, you cannot put them back and go back to as healthy of a gameplay based conversation. Sort of goes hand in hand with what I discussed has been going on in fighting games as well.

I do not even care about gamer drama videos. I like gameplay analysis more since I am intent on developing games. Who knows how to make a sustainable entertainment on gameplay videos when video recording is easier.

yes it's gonna be a good one!
