* "[[https://youtu.be/q_9Jh74nEaI The Live Service Model is Dying]]" episode of ''Extra Punctuation'' has Yahtzee being smug as ever, calling out big AAA game publishers for trying to generate infinite money and infinite growth. Yahtzee tears into this line of thinking, saying that "any passing six-year-old or vaguely sentient dog could have explained to these publishers that when you have a game whose entire business model hinges around rewiring people’s brains so they want to play eight hours a day, the market can’t sustain more than a few of those". Yahtzee also uses ''VideoGame/HiFiRush'' as the counter to the idea that the "live service" is what people want, since ''Hi-Fi RUSH'' was shadow-dropped with no hype, but was reasonably priced and with unique mechanics, and it was an instant smash hit. Essentially, the whole video is Yahtzee showing smugness not just for being right, but also optimism that the current trend is either on is way out or just about gone, since publishers can't brute-force an audience into liking something.

* Yahtzee's review of ''VideoGame/HogwartsLegacy'' has him take the rare pleasure of ripping into the game not only for its own merits, but also because of the anti-trans views of [[{{Creator/JKRowling}} J.K. Rowling]]. Unlike other outlets which actively danced around the uncomfortable topic, Yahtzee makes it perfectly clear what he thinks of Rowling right out of the gate without reservation and is ''very'' happy that he can tell people not to buy it.

* "[[https://youtu.be/q_9Jh74nEaI The Live Service Model is Dying]]" episode of ''Extra Punctuation'' has Yahtzee being smug as ever, calling out big AAA game publishers for trying to generate infinite money and infinite growth. In addition to saying that "any passing six-year-old or vaguely sentient dog could have explained to these publishers that when you have a game whose entire business model hinges around rewiring people’s brains so they want to play eight hours a day, the market can’t sustain more than a few of those." Yahtzee also uses ''VideoGame/HiFiRush'' as the counter to the idea that the "live service" is what people want, since ''Hi-Fi RUSH'' was shadow-dropped with no hype, but was reasonably priced and with unique mechanics, and it was an instant smash hit. Essentially, the whole video is Yahtzee showing smugness not just for being right, but also optimism that the current trend is either on is way out or just about gone, since publishers can't brute-force an audience into liking something.

Rowling]]. Unlike other outlets which actively danced around the uncomfortable topic, Yahtzee makes it perfectly clear what he thinks of Rowling right out of the gate without reservation and is ''very'' happy that he can tell people not to buy it both because of Rowling being a C-word and also because the game isn't worth buying on its own merits.

* "[[https://youtu.be/q_9Jh74nEaI The Live Service Model is Dying]]" episode of ''Extra Punctuation'' has Yahtzee being smug as ever, calling out big AAA game publishers for trying to generate infinite money and infinite growth. In addition to saying that "any passing six-year-old or vaguely sentient dog could have explained to these publishers that when you have a game whose entire business model hinges around rewiring people’s brains so they want to play eight hours a day, the market can’t sustain more than a few of those." Yahtzee also uses ''VideoGame/HiFiRush'' as the counter to the idea that the "live service" is what people want, since ''Hi-Fi RUSH'' was shadow-dropped with no hype, but was reasonably priced and with unique mechanics, and it was an instant smash hit. Essentially, the whole video is Yahtzee showing smugness not just for being right, but also optimism that the current trend is either on is way out or just about gone, since publishers can't brute-force an audience into liking something.

an 80 min review was probably worth the bold emphasis in 2010. in 2021, it just feels quaint.
