The internet’s ongoing culture war has trapped Ubisoft’s upcoming Star Wars Outlaws in its midst. After a fresh wave of backlash from alleged “fans” for speaking positively about the game, YouTuber Bombastic has confronted the franchise’s toxic community. Earlier in August, Bombastic released a video preview of Star Wars Outlaws .
After playing a few hours of the upcoming game, the YouTuber spoke positively of his experience with the game. However, spiteful commenters attacked the content creator for supporting the game. In a video addressing the Star Wars fanbase, the YouTuber addressed the massive amount of hate in the fandom.
Bombastic vs The Fandom Menace “I’ve never really seen the Star Wars community at the point it’s at now,” Bombastic said. “I’ve never seen what’s going on in Star Wars at the level that it’s happening now and being attacked for things that are just my honest opinion. And that sucks.
” The YouTuber explained that he has seen Star Wars and gaming crowds become more toxic in recent years. “When I’m sitting here watching Star Wars and gaming in general become more toxic and start to attack others, it sucks for everyone,” they said. The YouTuber faced harsh backlash for the Star Wars Outlaws preview, with accusations that Ubisoft had paid them off.
In their response, Bombastic told fans that Ubisoft never changed any of their coverage for added positivity. “Everyone I’ve ever worked with has always told me to be just honest, and have never asked me to change my content to say something specific,” they said. “So, me sharing my opinions on Star Wars Outlaws are my genuine, honest opinions.
I’ve not been paid to say them, and I’m not worried that Ubisoft, for example, won’t want to work with me again.” “I’ve been putting out a lot of shorts and clips of Star Wars Outlaws and people are saying that Ubisoft have paid me for them and need to approve them before they go up. No one has time for that,” they continued.
Unfortunately, controversy has always shrouded the Star Wars series. For example, the now-adored prequel trilogy was once one of the most famous examples of fan vitriol on the internet. Nowadays, Star Wars Outlaws is the prime receiver of all that hate.
In our coverage of Star Wars Outlaws, we also paint the game in a positive light. In our official preview , we said the game could be “everything we’ve wanted” from a game in this beloved series. However, only time will tell if Ubisoft can stick the landing for this awesome-looking action game.
