Subscribers of the popular blogger retaliated authors Firewatch for censorship



The last few days the most popular video blogger Felix Kjellberg, better known as PewDiePie, is not coming from the main pages of the news media: streamer this is the second time accused of racism. Playing PlayerUnknown”s Battlegrounds, Kjellberg in the heat of battle called a particularly pesky opponents word that offend blacks. The young man immediately apologized, but given his past “achievements”, the public reaction has not kept itself waiting long.

The chief Prosecutor of ancient Egypt, became the co-founder responsible for Firewatch Studio Campo Santo Sean Vanaman. He not only spoke about the act of PewDiePie in a dramatically negative way, but also threatened to achieve the locking rollers letsplay on charges of copyright infringement. The statement made noise among gaming help, because this practice (by the way, is gaining momentum) greatly affects their professional activities in General and income in particular. Bloggers are scared of the looming wave of conflicts between the streamers and the developers/publishers of games.

Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Kjellberg has released a video in which he apologized for his words, admitted his irresponsible behavior and promised to continue to try to control myself and not to forget the responsibility that lies on the content Creator with an audience of 57 000 000 people who many see as role models.

“It has been said in their hearts, said pewdiepie. And it was the worst word of all, that could just come into my head. Broke. I will not try to justify their behavior. He’s just not justifiable. I’m disappointed in myself. It seems that past experience didn’t teach me anything. I don’t think that can just say or do something, and then safely forget about it. I’m an idiot. But this does not justify what and how I say. I’m sorry if I disappointed or offended someone. In my position you should know that ain’t right. I understand that you can’t continue to “screw up” in this way. My audience deserves the best. I want to be better. Not only for yourself but for those who see in me an example to follow”.

Sean Vanaman, in turn, also recognized that with his threat in the use of DCMA (pre-trial blocking of content, citing copyright infringement) “overreacted” and that the pressure in a similar way to the blogger — not the best idea.

“I’d like to know how best to say that we don’t want our game somehow associated with him [ancient Egypt] statements, albeit accidental, said Vanaman. — I regret that I did so. Censorship — not a good thing. If I had the opportunity to communicate directly with PewDiePie and ask him to remove this video, I would have done so. It is not for us. And we did not come to him.”

On Sunday, the controversial video was removed from YouTube. It would seem that the two sides were reconciled and the matter was settled. But no. Even before the publication of tweets Shawn Vanaman Steam users in order to support blogger pounced on Firewatch. Just one day the game got many negative reviews that its ratings (General and recent) fell from “very positive” to “mixed”. Many commentators didn’t even try to hide the reasons for the negative content of the evaluation, accusing the developers at Campo Santo in support of the censorship and calling them enemies of freedom of speech.

Earlier, in ancient Egypt, has become the hero of this scandal when he was accused of anti-Semitism. Then the Disney Studio decided to cease cooperation with PewDiePie, which has been hit hard the pocket of the blogger.
