DF didn't leave the site, though, just John, who did so as a direct result of people calling him out for the Ion Fury vid. Alex is still here and still posts regularly.Edit: Meh. Nope.
Sorry for making it seem like I was downplaying the Ion Fury stuff. I definitely was not trying to do so. The backlash against the Ion Fury devs was appropriate.
I don't personally think that's even the real reason why DF left the site, but I am often wrong. I would still hope that we can agree that the outcome of all this is not something any of us wanted. That is a shame, and I do hope the next time things turn out better.
Oop. Fair enough. I haven't seen him around in a while, so I guess I just got that wrong. I moused over his profile, but didn't check recent post history.DF didn't leave the site, though, just John, who did so as a direct result of people calling him out for the Ion Fury vid.

One of the top tier channels on youtube, they do amazing work. Congrats to all! John's DF Retro features are definitely a highlight of my youtube subs. A shame he left the forum, he was a member of this community for as long as I can remember.

I checked in and saw lots of tags. I'm sorry for being awful before and I've thought deeply about this now in how I cover stuff. Apologies to everyone - really. Some bad things happened that I can't go into prior to the things being discussed...it's complicated. I simply didn't know what to do.
I only came to apologize for it, however. I can't post more beyond this due to the serious mental health/physical issues that arose earlier this year. It's not too bad now but I cannot risk it again - I'm not equipped to deal with it. Especially right now during new consoles. I'm not a strong person, I can admit that. :-(
No worries! Don't come back before you feel ready to. In the meantime I'm going to watch all the great content you put out! All the bestI checked in and saw lots of tags.

I like DF's longform content, as well as the historical and DF Retro videos. I just don't need or want that style of content in performance/platform comparison videos. It often feels like they're trying to straddle this weird line between being a Review and being a Visuals/Performance digest......but they aren't critical enough to be a review and are too long-winded to justify a 20 minute performance summary. As I said, timestamping solves the problem.....I just don't like having to scrub through vidoes guessing where the primary information is going to begin.
I watch the whole video if it's a game I really am interested in, but for some titles I really just want to know the basics and not much else.

They're honestly indispensable when you own multiple platforms

Rock on dude! Absolutely love all your content along with the rest of DF. Take care of yourself, man. I can't WAIT to see your thoughts on everything next month and I hope you eventually feel well enough to drop by again occasionally. Onward and upward!I checked in and saw lots of tags.

I imagine they'll get real busy with the new generation. Testing some cross-gen multiplats games on as many as... what, 7 (?) consoles/devices, and that's not even counting PC? Godspeed. :D
Hey Dark1x I appreciate you coming in with this, thank you. I wouldn't hit yourself with having been awful before though. It was a sore point and it raised questions but it's nothing that leaves a mark beyond some understanding and recognition. You might not consider yourself strong but you came back to say this all directly and confront the issue; I think that shows you as having more of that strength than you think. Focus on yourself and your health primarily, and I hope you find some footholds against these issues soon. Sincere congratulations on the 1 million subscribers, enjoy that celebration and here's to the second million. I hope you enjoy breaking down the opening of this new generation as much as the people here enjoy watching you do so. All the best.I checked in and saw lots of tags.

Thank you for coming back here for this and I hope you're able to get better in the future and your health gets better. On a better note, I hope to see more Retro DF with more Saturn games!I checked in and saw lots of tags. I'm sorry for being awful before and I've thought deeply about this now in how I cover stuff.

What I like about Digital Foundry is they don't shit out videos just to be first. I subscribe because I can count on the videos to be worth my time.
