At first I thought this was some shill ad for a dogshit looking Chinese mobile game. Then I realized that he did it for free.

He's paid in the tears of people who hate Chinese games
I stopped watching after 4mins so he got nothing from me!

I found this video somewhat tame by his standards, but the game itself looks weird and intredasting, so I might give it a try in a couple of years (since I don't know if it will click for me).

YouTube keeps askin' me for my credit card or personal ID to watch Sseth content.

Sometime in the future I imagine we will be watching his vids on pornhub.
Yeah, they want to verify your age to comply with some law. I'm not gonna do that so no more saucy videos for me.

After watching the video, the game looks interesting... and completely matches the sort of games i'd expect to see in Sseth's videos :-P.

It's legit good game. Better than Rimworld. Unfortunutelly it is very hard to get like video suggests. The best part is that despite all of its weirdness it is even more weird than this. I have like 200h in it and barely scratched surface.

For example like he said anything in game can gain satience. So you can actually use it and "grow" your satient things which later on you can convert into disciples. So for exampel you close bunny near corpse and bunny will sometimes think about tha corpse. It gathers few of those corpse thoughts and then they will convert into inspiration that will give such satient thing later on bonus to fighting power and personality after few inspirations it gains satience.

It is basically chinese dwarf fortress. I legit don't know how they were able to figure out so many complicated ideas/systems and so on and still make game good to play and pretty balanced.

Yep, it's a great game. Only superficially similar to rimworld, actually completely different in the way it plays. Grinding is also a bit of a fake news, a lot of it can be streamlined once you know how to play and what to aim for. The number of varaibles and mechanics you can access at any given time is mind boggling and gives loads of options to replay and do things differently. Exploration is also much more interesting than in Rimworld but the info gathering is definitely the worst grind in the game.

Definitely not a game for everyone but the amount of peons rating this as decline shows how much ignoramus wanders the halls of the codex in current year.

It was some EU shit law they came up and pushed through when everyone was distracted with Corona chan.

Totally not lobbied and bribed by the Big Tech oligarchs. Yes you read it right: right now in the EU, if you want to watch, say Flashgitz "Furry Apocalypse" you will have to give YT (and google-Alphabet by extension) either you credit card info or send copies of your ID, like your passport.

There was a list of smaller exploits you could use to bypass this verification shit but they were quickly and very enthusiastically patched out by Big Brother Tech.

For now you can use VPN-s to circumvent this problem but on a larger scale this is part of a larger process of implementing real ID checks to access the net. As the western failing nations degenerate further into authoritarian regimes this is only going to get worse.

I wasted 15 minutes, expecting something funny. I did chuckle a couple times, but it was very boring overall.
I got the feeling he really wanted to make a video out of it after spending 600 hours on it, even if he wasn't that passionate about it.

Interesting. I have a totally fake google account, and live in the EU, and I have not been asked to provide this at any point. Maybe it's just a matter of time.

it seems it depends on the country, I'm in the EU (France) and the only video of Sseth that asks for my credit card/personal ID is the one for Mount & Blade

Edit: well, maybe I missed it when I checked it then, but I can't watch the HoMM 3 one too. Shame

I wonder if he took it easy on the edge because he really liked this game, and/or it's already so janky and memey you can't do much more with it.

It's to do with EU laws

The EU directive in question does not require ID, passport or anything else specific, it just asks for some form of age verification. It is Google's choice to ask for ID.

They should have just banned ips originating from EU countries, much simpler solution.
