About

nerdSlayer Studios is a channel that produces high quality, in-depth, educational documentaries about dead, or dying games. nerdSlayer has been playing virtual worlds for 23 years, has alpha/closed tested every major MMO, and has consulted on multiple virtual projects too. I bring with me, a wealth of information, that I augment through the support of my strong base of detectives on this channel. The channel being a collaborative effort means we get to arrive at conclusions & solve "crimes" together through the use of the Death of a Game series! If you want to learn more about your favorite virtual worlds, virtual worlds in general, and the many concepts and mechanics that are inside of them, this is the right channel for you :). If you want to contact me concerning consulting or promotional work please contact my email ex forcegamer @gmail.com. Note: Might make you emotional when covering your favorite games.

Death of a Game is a series dedicated to uncovering the mysteries surrounding the death of a game or company. nerdSlayer defines the term "death" in the context of the show as either... 1. Literally dead. 2. Had a mass exodus of players and never recovered (expectations etc). 3. The company ceased to exist. We follow a timeline of events, to uncover clues concerning why a game or company doesn't do well, and attempt to put it all together at the end for a deduction explaining how or why the game failed based on the evidence gathered. Rules: 1: No discrimination or hate speech. 2: No affiliation links that do not belong to nerdSlayer. 3: No political/religious talk or debate . 4: Any points you make have to be substantiated either in explaining your opinion or when stating facts you need to back these up with reliable sources. 5: Do not argue moderation decisions in public, if you have an issue PM the mods. 6: We don't allow self promotion, giveaways or anything of similar nature from community members on this discord without nerdSlayer's permission. 7: Wherever possible if you initiate a discussion try to do so in an appropriate channel for it. For example game news could go in ⁠game-table a story on the latest EVE heist however would belong in ⁠mmo-booth or the latest GPU shortage can go in ⁠tech-wizards 8: Spoilers have to be marked at all times as a spoiler by using /spoiler or || before and after the message. Beside this outside of the spoiler you should make clear ahead of it what the spoiler is about, like the latest chapter in a video game or something. 9: Please do not @ mention any of the staff or in general abuse @ mentions. People will respond on their own accord when needed and when they desire to do so. (Exception for moderators if their presence is needed for enforcement) Sources: https://destiny.fandom.com/wiki/List_of_Destiny_Updates#2017 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destiny_post-release_content https://www.gameinformer.com/b/features/archive/2014/09/12/a-destiny-timeline.aspx#:~:text=2009%20%2D%20According%20to%20our%20cover,to%20be%20a%20fantasy%20RPG. https://www.polygon.com/2013/12/6/5183804/destiny-release-date-beta-summer-2014 https://www.geekwire.com/2013/bungie-design-director-joseph-staten-leaves-game-company-15-years/ https://x.com/ign/status/1469351463902138380?s=21 https://www.ign.com/articles/bungie-report-battle-soul-work-culture-harassment-crunch?utm_source=twitter https://kotaku.com/the-messy-true-story-behind-the-making-of-destiny-1737556731 https://www.bungie.net/7/en/News/article/50895 https://archive.org/details/destiny-36735.13.12.02.1953.alpha https://www.pcgamer.com/games/fps/former-bungie-lawyer-says-the-studios-management-failure-led-to-sony-forcing-them-to-get-their-heads-out-of-their-asses/ https://www.engadget.com/bungie-head-of-hr-steps-down-103523997.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAEAcXmeJTdb5cCC4xURL3a884j0QlXfEW-GaaRx2r9Yehj9pgnoEGv_M3xHcZ2cIaASnOUaDPWF1-RSNWLmKayJTxJhO8FYwj0WmiMFMdOrFYcN8KrtVSq3Kvi6_e1NZtloSqoAx1gg0H8FpjdH_m51M_55WhzJEHYw3JlJ8CHP0 https://www.gamesindustry.biz/bungie-signs-10-year-activision-deal https://www.ign.com/articles/bungie-activision-destiny-breakup-reason-marty-odonnell https://www.metacritic.com/game/destiny/ https://www.polygon.com/2016/8/18/12536688/destiny-rise-of-iron-ps4-exclusive-taken-king-fall-2017 https://www.ign.com/articles/2016/03/18/ex-halo-composer-addresses-bungie-firing-lawsuit-for-first-time https://www.ign.com/articles/2014/06/10/e3-2014-destiny-beta-coming-to-ps4-this-summer https://destiny.fandom.com/wiki/Bungie-Activision_Contract https://www.mobygames.com/game/68327/destiny/ https://www.ign.com/articles/sony-has-completed-its-37-billion-deal-to-acquire-bungie-and-welcome-it-into-the-playstation-family
