Pheace: From a response to Kotaku it seems that after seeing all the negativity that came from it, he (Stephane) withdrew his complaint to Youtube.
Yeah, right. It was more likely the threat of legal action that changed his mind. But it doesn't matter, the damage is already well and truly done.

Oh no, game companies using dirty legal tricks to censor and silence neagative criticism in order to boost sales of their own mediocre to bad titles, while at the same time ruining the livelihood of large companies like Polaris (TB's network) and other small companies. What disgusting monsters, let us hang them publicly!

Now on the other hand, game companies using dirty legal tricks to sabotage and stop used game trading in order to boost sales of their own mediocre to bad titles while at the same time ruining the livelihood of large companies like gameStop and other small companies, that's just fine. All hail to the death of retail and consumer rights. power to the corporations (as long as they don't use their power in any way that affects me)!

I love watching TB's WTF is... ? videos, but man, this gy can be so full of shit sometimes. He will rally on and on about how he is pro consumer rights, but only as long as he is affected by the decision. He only plays PC games on Steam (which he gets free review codes for), therefore used games markets and retail are a thing of the past and must be purged from the face of the earth. What about all those pervsive season passes and DLCs everywhere? he doesn't buy them, so he doesn't care. The only time he threw a fit was when Mass Effect 3 cut out a part of the story as Day-1 DLC. Then there was his recent "what's in a game" video where he slammed Dear Esther and at the same time praise David Cage's abominations. I mean, come on, they do the same thing, either go all-out hipster and praise them all or stay true and call them both out for their BS, but you can't just pick one of them. Oh well, at least he's against always-online DRM in any shape of form.

Really, I just watch this guy's WTF is... videos, even if his commentary was total waste (which it most of the time is not) i at least get to see the game dircetly in action instead of a carfully edited review that only cherry-picks points.

The gameplay is very cringeworthy. TB is right, Suddenly attacked by Puma out of nowhere and Idiotic AI soldier who STAND THERE DOING NOTHING EVEN WHEN THE PLAYER CROUCH RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIM! surely a game breaking and deal breaker.

Also crafting a bandage while getting stoned by monkeys (I hope it's stone) with QTE is just hilarious.

When the kickstarter campaign looks like this, you know something's wrong with the dev.

This is why we need a demo service that let people try games before they buy. I was hoping this would take off with streaming services such as Gaikai or Onlive which worked or works to an extent but not as ideal as a substitute to "legitmate" piracy.

To be fair, he bitches about Steam from time to time especially in his WTF is War-Z video and another one of his video blogs.

It's 2013 and some companies still don't know how the Internet works.

Oh my. I had seen the horrible gameplay footage, the failed kickstarter, the rigged metacritic user reviews, and the ban-hammer at the Steam forum before. I thought that this developer had sunk so low that they must have reached the bottom.

Obviously, I was wrong.

Bigirpall! And the bugs got worse in their gameplay! Also their laugh is infectious!

Obvious self funding is obvious.

Some dev's are real idiots. That one is a case in point

What's the DRM fiasco everyone seem to talk about? The one about TotalBiscuit bashing PS4 anti-DRM activists or something...

wow. I guy who makes a living "reviewing" pc games uses steam. I am shocked!!!!! :)

I listen to quite a few of his videos, listen to bits of the polaris podcasts (often when I am doing the dishes) and he does criticise steam a lot. Just today I was listening to a podcast in which he expressed concern about how potentially uncompetitive the pc games market is when all devs basically have to get on steam to be successful and how that concerned him.

He picks and chooses what he is happy with or can live with and what he is against. That's what everyone does. The line has to be drawn somewhere and different people draw the line in different places. Personally I think steam is the devil (as is eating meat), but I don't have a problem with people who disagree with me and use steam and eat poor little baby animals :).

Some people like Dear Esther, some people don't, either way, Dear Esther isn't a game. I didn't agree with everything TB said in his what is a game video but at least he got that right.

HiPhish's post is the epitome of "attacking the man not the message"

GAF seems to be up in arms over him lol. Think it has to do with the used-games video he made awhile back, he said he was actually ok with the console devs making DRM to prevent used game sales, pissed off a good number of people:
