No, I haven't heard of him before. But I see his angle.

"X is an easy way to get money online. I'm gonna do X."

So that's why he started with Nintendo Switch before it came out: it's a niche still relatively open for grabs (the console isn't out) but already have interest (NINTENDO!!!).

And then he went with the scum-sucking SEO bullshit like "five best ways to play Nintendo Switch" because somebody had previously done successful work like that for another console.

This is the stuff dropshipping is made of. Money for nothing and chicks for free.

It pisses me off so much partially because I got into writing about games because My Opinions About Games Are Both Important And Good, but also because I can't/I don't want to operate in that cold, money-grubbing way. I'm not going out for freelance SEO work because that would mean 1) writing about something I don't enjoy and 2) actually putting in effort to get to write more about stuff I don't enjoy.

My whole t-shirt store was born out of disgust at easy t-shirt designs that rely on getting a popular reference (and, later on, wanting 30K t-shirts).

And I still felt bad about my favorite design, Straight From Fulda Gap, because that's an easy reference to get.

I also get temptation to write about More Popular Subjects for my blog. 5 Worst Dice GW Put Out is among my best performing articles, one that I made organically because GW was obsessed with making the most shitass dice designs at that point. Should I do something more like that? But I don't have any ideas like that. So it would mean reaching in to make something like it, and that's bad.

What I'm trying to say is that I hate molding myself into a shape that makes money and I am thus furious at people who see no issue in molding themselves into a shape that makes money.

You should do more than check out their holiday sales list.

You should also take a peek at those prices.

How about $5 off $40 game that is a standalone version released between the Afghan and Iraq wars of a supermod for a game that may or may not predate the first Matrix movie.

Look, I love winSPMBT ("Originally a DOS program SPMBT has now been upgraded into a full Microsoft Windows application") dearly, but that game needs major UI/UX updates even if you leave the unit visuals alone. And while it still has yearly patches, it's still an old game sold on an ancient website that does shit like track how many times you've installed the game to prevent piracy.

Of course, you can still play the free version if you can get along with limitations like 800x600 resolution.

For a fun game, try and find how many of the reviewer quotes present here can still be found on online publications.

I'll start: here's a 2006 Gamespot(!) review of a game that looks like it was made back when Yugoslav wars were still a hot-button issue:
