I have been watching for a few months now, and as a game designer I think you do a good job reviewing games. Always stick to what you feel and believe. There can be alot of rude people on BGG as I have found in the past. I enjoy your reviews, keep up the good work. I may contact you about reviewing one of my games in the near future.

You're getting a glimpse of what the game designer's experience of the gamer community is like.

I watched the review in question & had nothing to say only because I typically play Dominion online & I would never buy the physical game. I didn't see the need to point that out so I refrained from commenting. Personally, I don't think BGG is all that it is cracked up to be. There are some incredibly smug know-it-all types on there that I have no desire to engage with. Some ppl really do take themselves & this hobby way too seriously....that is the lesson to be learned, imo. Brush it off, bro....I enjoy watching your vids & hope you'll continue!

I just found your channel and I like it. Good delivery. Good explanations. Good video quality. Keep it up. And boo Dominion!!

[mikepokorny]

So, if the show is cancelled... is the game collection up for grabs? 🤣 Keep up the mediocre work. You're doing just fine.

[Schlagathor]

Keep up the great work. Love your reviews

[patobrien]

dude, got into the board game world late, driven by COvid. You have been one of my mainstays for learning about/checking out new and classic games. You always present well, have well organized thoughts, and give an honest assessment. What more can be asked for? Unfortunately, the current state of discourse has become too often binary-you like what I like, or you're a +&*%!. It would be a great loss to the gaming world not to have your voice among the throng. Haters gonna hate, all us subscribers stand on your side.

Yeah, stay you - Dominion players might want a card-by-card comparison to the meta and how it interacts with this particular card in Alchemy and that change in 2nd ed. Intrigue.

[djmurp]

I don’t watch many BG videos anymore in general but you stay you! 💪

[donnakeferlis]

I skipped the vid bc I don't have Dominion. But I'm surprised about those jerky comments because your reviews are always no nonsense bare bones info. No worries, there are always gonna be Debbie Downer's chiming in.

[mikerice]

I'm still beside myself at how unnecessary and rude the first comment was. Also, as a reviewer you simply can't make every review work for every viewer. You try to cover your bases as much as you can and then throw it out there for the public to see. Sometimes the so called experts of certain games are the harshest critics of reviews of those games and it really comes off as just gatekeeping. Keep doing what you do, Jason. People are buttheads. Don't be those people.

[suzuwatarix]

My guess is some people take this personal, as if reviewers were paid by their taxes. They forget many reviewers are just hobbyists enjoying board games as any of us do. 😅

[john-qzfu]

You do a good job. The culture at BGG can be “toxic”

[dlschweppe]

Do you enjoy board games? Do you enjoy creating the reviews? If you enjoy playing the games and sharing your thoughts about the games, then continue what you're doing. Maybe it's a small niche. Maybe with time and continued effort, the channel will grow. What ultimately matters is that you enjoy doing what you are doing. Ignore the negativites. There will always be negativites.

I don’t know what stinks more, this video or the commenters!! Just kidding. Haters gonna hate, keep
cranking out content. ~Tim

[JoeyDCote]

Technically, you don't have the right to say anything you want to. Not if you want to avoid possible lawsuits or even criminal charges.

[TH-wqge]

Thanks for the video. Seems these guys are used to exclusively watching advertising, to such a degree that they couldn’t deal with the human component of your video.

[shortydancer]

So I don’t mean to be rude. But your reviews are not that good. There were times where I’ve liked for review in games, and I’ve found some of yours. I was looking for more deeper thoughts, but most of the videos were how to play the game and the last minute was any sort of review. I wish that minute was like 10 times longer 😂. To be fair, a lot of review videos are structured this way.

Welcome to generation me "as I call it it". Where I'm correct and you're wrong. Just a bunch of keyboard warriors. Keep up the good work. There should be differing opinions, or we arr just a bunch of sheep. Those differing opinions doesn't mean it s**KS. Keep on doing what you enjoy. Ignore the ignorant.
