Publicity is always necessary. Without it the mod will die out. We would all like to see a cut down in negative complaint threads, but it will NEVER happen. There will always be complaints, always. As for the commenters on the Yogscast videos, yes, right off the bat they are ignorant of the mod, but weren't we all when we first saw a video or a screenshot or read an article about it? You complain about the ignorance of the fans of the Yogscast, but react to it with your own ignorance. As for not insulting Simon and Lewis, is there need for insults in the first place? No.

Yes, i've been 'lurking' the forums for a while now whilst playing Day z, and the whiny topics about the Yogscast annoyed me a little bit, the reason being is ignorance, which you are showing a lot of. For example 'They show this garbage and lure in even more stupid kids'. Yes, i don't mind the Yogscast, i watch some of their stuff and enjoy it. However i did not like their Day Z video, but instead of rushing straight to the forums to complain about how they 'aren't playing like the rest of us' and 'make crappy videos' and 'lure in stupid kids', i just stopped watching. As i said previously, their videos are for entertainment. It does not matter what they do in them, as long as they entertain. The vast majority of people watching their Day Z videos will most likely put more research into the mod before they start buying copies of Arma II. Not everyone is a 'stupid kid' as you put it.

There were absolutely plenty of threads full of whiners long before the Yogscast decided to do a let's play. As for the audience being big enough; say's who? A growing audience is absolutely what a mod like this needs. Sure, there will be players who become frustrated with it and leave for good, but there will always be players who leave and return after each update, and players who stick with it indefinately. More publicity is a good thing.

Who cares? Their videos are for entertainment purposes only.

My point will be made (most likely) when the mod goes stand-alone. I'm pretty sure either BI or Rocket has stated that they have no plans to follow the free to play route.

You mustn't have even a simple grasp on how business works then. Day z is becoming increasingly popular as the months go on. Do you honestly think BI aren't gonna think 'Hmm, maybe there's more to this Day z business than we thought'? There's money to be made, especially with this mod.

More people = more publicity = more money = better mod.

So much hatred for this Yogscast business... Ridgedog or whatever his name is pays for the server he uses out of his own pocket, and if he wants to let the yogscast record day z content on it the way they want, then who the hell are you lot to complain? Sure, their video doesn't portray exactly how the game is, but who the hell wants to watch another video of people dying all the time whilst getting used to playing it? Honestly i have no idea why people are even complaining. The yogscast making videos about this mod is a good thing. If you don't like their videos then don't watch them, and don't whine about them either. This community is filled with some of the whiniest people i've come across.
