Every time I read about Total's death it gets me a little sad. Cancer is such a asshole of a illness that can take anyone.

And this guy did he think things would be better for him ranting about a dead man. I mean you won. you are living he is dead no need to push it .

Bioware has already stated their disappointment with him over this, so the fella has likely fucked his carer over at least.

I don't care at all about the man, or TotalBiscuit for that matter, but seeing someone fuck themselves over because of their own stupidity is always fun.

I don't really have a problem with Crooks' views. His timing is just shit. Totalbiscuit didn't appreciate his games, so Crooks' frustration and anger is somewhat understandable. He should have resolved it when Totalbiscuit was still around to defend himself. Publicly blasting him when he's gone and going as far as celebrating the death is a terrible look.

It's not like silently celebrating a person's death is any better. But as much as I wasn't a fan of TB's numerous outbursts and elitist attitudes, this guy simply just should've made better fucking games and none of this would've been a problem

It sucks that he died, he seemed pretty alright. But, and I'm not saying that he didn't, but what exactly did TotalBiscuit contribute to the gaming world?

He impacted quite a few developers solely because he did a video on their game. Warframe, for instance, is now one of the most-played games on Steam. Before he did his video, that company was close to bankruptcy. The dev team's gone on record and said that the game is popular pretty much because TB gave them the bump they needed.

He was an early Youtuber, so he impacted that community quite a bit.

He was a huge proponent of consumer rights in gaming.

Is there any situation where you should be ranting and raving at a game reviewer because he didn't like your game?

If it's the NFS game I'm thinking of, I actually remember it. It was hilariously stupid. They locked the game's speed to the frame rate, so removing the frame rate limiter made the game go twice as fast. That's moronic.

I don't know. It's something I've never given much thought to. From the developer's point of view, I suppose "ranting and raving" could be justified if it helps increase sales or achieves some other goal like promoting a social message.

These kind of people are exceptionally petty and vindictive. They can't help gloating over TB's death.

If he did work on Andromeda, it's weird that he felt that way because TB actually liked Andromeda and defended it on the podcast a lot. He didn't say it was a great game, and he did agree with some of the problems everyone made fun of it for, but he loved the gameplay.

Of course the Bioware 'culture' extends beyond just those two. They just happen to be two of the more visible examples of it.

Shouldn't have done it like that and this soon, but there's a lot of valid things to criticize him for. Because he tried to change after he knew he was dying doesn't undo all the shitty things he said and did.
