Apparently the Terraria developer hates everything that is right and just in the world and also can't take a joke. Early today the Terraria review by The Best Gamers, the most unbiased and scathing reviewers on the internet, was taken down because Terraria developer, Andrew Spinks, is a bad person.

That's just the fact of the matter. I didn't say that, everyone did, because it's true.

Is this the world we want to live in people? Where developers are allowed to remove opinions from the internet just because they had their feelings hurt? Because that sounds like some bull shit to me.

Needless to say, I will not be purchasing the Terraria 4-Pack as I originally planned because I already got someone to buy it for me, BUT THAT IS NOT THE POINT.

The point is that if you pay money for Terraria you are endorsing the silencing of professional journalists and are also a disgusting individual for supporting that. Why would you support that? Fuck you.

  

Cant tell if sarcastic. 

what happened exactly, your bold words are "funny" but that doesn't exactly say what actually happened.

It's still a good game though.

That is what happened. The developer of Terraria went to Youtube and made them take The Best Gamer's review down.

The Best Gamers USA are satire and Blue is just butthurt since he(I assume it's just one guy) doesn't get it

I would think something like, nah its just some suits from PR, but I don't know if a small game like that has a PR agent lol

That video just seemed juvenile.

Also, before anyone asks, no I do not own Terraria, nor have I ever played it.

Eh, thats the style he does ALL his videos in it seems like. Are you gonna go and all the Angry Video Game Nerd a juvenile? xD

I like Minecraft!

Maybe he just doesn't find their particular brand of humor funny or respectable, it is in fact his work after all which inclines him to dictate how people use footage from said work. To be honest his reaction might be juvenile (I find it kind of understandable, try telling someone to have a sense of humor about something they've worked their ass off on for years) but your reaction is more so juvenile. All parties involved just like sad, lonely, souls.

If that review is what passes for professional journalism then the end of the world must really be at hand

We call this 'Pulling a Wiseau'

To be fair though that "review" is pretty stupid and makes a whole lot of incorrect claims about the game, also has anyone checked the forums attached to that website? jesus... does everyone there act like complete retards on purpose? here's an excerpt :

i make it a personul gol of mine to play at least one hitty game a week four at least one hour (so i m cultured maybve?  ) and thus was is this weeks game

im a hgacker jhust so u kno and i was luking thru his code (yeah im leet() and he wrote it like a KID   thue game only uses 1 line of code for evry line: if t(xDt) iu mean jesus christ is he 12   

The point is that if you pay money for Terraria you are endorsing the silencing of professional journalists and are also a disgusting individual for supporting that. Why would you support that? Fuck you.

Personally i couldn't care less and the game is great so its your loss if you don't buy it. And that review is shit, its not even funny, just flat-out tasteless.

Sounds crappy on both ends. 2D minecraft is still awesome.

I can't believe I did it, but I went on that best gamers shit and I can only come to the conclusion that this was done on purpose to bump views of their site because that review is so terribly unfunny that no one could get offended by it.

If you ask me everyone involved is an asshole. I heard the review by that dude, and it was the most annoying piece of garbage that I had ever heard, I actually went and bought the game shortly after partially to spite the review, and to see if it really was the "worst game created" like he said, it's not. that said Terrarian developer dude needs to chill out and take 1 bad review.

That video was stupid and tasteless. They took it down because there is a difference between a joke and someone just berating something for the hell of it.

EDIT: Oh, and for the love of god, why would anyone take the time out of their day to hear the voice in that review? I mean god, can there be more spit-smacking and lack of breathing in between words in one individual. It made me cringe just to hear his slander, but i plowed on through only to be angry at the crap he thought was worth talking about.

developer needs to grow a pair. who gets offended by a shitty review by shitty humorists? I promise you he lost no sales due to that video.

I don't understand.  Why would a person who "hates fun" choose video game development as a career?

I found the review incredibly unfunny, but getting upset over it is just dumb.

Also, yes it is satirical. Obviously.

I am not going to endorse overreacting and the such, but really if you put yourself in his shoes, this would offend the creator more than the audience. You work hard, pour your heart and soul into something, to find a terrible review like that is borderline offensive. It's not like jumping onto a credible site who gives an honest review (even if it is negative), its a couple of children making videos that I really don't understand how they can afford their own website.

If it's personal then you shouldn't take this to forums but talk to the developers.

That guy has an annoying speech impediment.

That review sucked something fierce. Christ, he has the humour even Lyle Chipperson would make fun of. I can understand why he couldn't take the joke that didn't exist.

The Best Gamers are big fat pussies and should also lose any traffic from you since they caved. Fuck them too.

I found his "review" to be really immature and not funny at all.

Also you yourself said it was a joke, so I fail to see how they're professional journalists. Not to mention he didn't force them to remove their review, just the video that uses his game footage. He's not silencing their voice or whatever martyrdom you want to play out, he's just stopping them from using his own IP, they could repost the review multiple ways. Seriously this is not the grave injustice you're spinning it to be.

That isn't how intellectual copyright works, if that were true then there would be no bad reviews on any site, period.

Maybe you don't understand how big of a deal this is.

Maybe I have to take it all the way up to heading level 3.

Have you even watched the "review"? I agree the dev was wrong on doing what he did, not for the same reason you are pointing, but for the same reason you wouldn't get back at a 10 year old for calling you names, because that was pretty much what that video was, it didn't showed even a third of what the game haves, it didn't addressed any mechanics, all it did was spout a bunch of nonsense and juvenile provocation going as far as mocking the dev directly, that can't be considered a real review by any stretch of imagination.Also take a look at the forums of that website to see what is the target audience for this "review", that's all that needs to be said really.

The Terraria developer can't possibly hate fun, because they made a fun ass game.

That's weird, if the developer really did do that... But regardless, its a pretty good game.

I can't believe I did it, but I went on that best gamers shit and I can only come to the conclusion that this was done on purpose to bump views of their site because that review is so terribly unfunny that no one could get offended by it.

Man, that was a pretty aggressive yet impotent review. I think I can see why they removed the video, though: the end part where the reviewer called the maker of the game a pussy.

I was thinking the same thing. How do we know they did not just remove it them selves? Or enough community reports got it removed?

Because on the original youtube video it says it was taken down by Teh Gamez which is the previous company name Blue used, he probably thought he could hide behind it and people wouldn't find out it was him.I thought that was a joke name at first too, but apparently it is totally real.

I watched it again and insulting someone like that at the end gave the guy perfect right to remove it. Even know the video was very childish. He went all out on a personal attack on the guy. Which im pretty sure can get you in trouble on youtube. 

Also now on their main page they are more or less calling him gay. So ya..."The best gamers" are a punch of ass holes.

And you have no issues with the personal attacks on Blue?

Just because you can't copyright a concept that doesn't make Terraria any less of a theft of idea and execution.
