Just wanted to get this off my chest.

I don't like the YouTuber "No Text To Speech" (NTTS).

Why? I'll tell you.

Because NTTS clearly lets their distain for Discord leak into their videos. As a result, a decent/sizeable amount of their videos are misleading or factually incorrect. They act just like a stereotypical journalist would - twisting or burying facts to put out a video/post just to get clicks/views & make money.

Like, "Discord banned a bot that protects child" should actually be "Discord bans a bot that cyber-stalks children & abuses Discord's API".

To make it explicit: I'm not saying Discord is 100% perfect. No one is. I'm only saying NTTS is very misleading just to get views.

Just wanted to get that off my chest. You may return to your regularly scheduled Tumblr scrolling.

What people think happened (for some reason):

OM Team makes the original OM game

OM Team abandons it for no reason

OM Team makes Nightbringer

OM Team abandons Nightbringer for no reason

OM Team makes third OM game

Will definitely abandon it for no reason

And all of this is done out of greed, apparently (despite the fact that constantly releasing and "abandoning" games is a terrible business move that won't actually make you any money)

What ACTUALLY happened:

OM Team makes the original OM game

Game absolutely blows up, the servers become overloaded and are unable to keep up with the volume of players

Servers become too outdated to continue using long term

OM Team makes Nightbringer, giving the OM franchise room to grow again, and using servers that aren't nearly as obsolete and overtaxed

Meanwhile, the parent company (NTT Corp) spends multiple years making atrocious business decisions and mismanaging their subsidiaries, including Solmare

NTT Corp makes extremely bullshit decision to wrap up the OM games because they no longer want to fund the development of otome games AT ALL

OM Team is forced to make a hasty and unplanned conclusion to NB's main story, leaving the OM franchise in an uncertain position going forward

OM Team doesn't want to let the OM franchise die, promises to still release new content and projects

OM Team finds other game dev studios to collaborate with, and are now making a new OM game so that the franchise can keep living

OM Team takes fan demand into serious account, and heavily priorities romance in the new game, with deeper and more intimate relationships (something the fans have been begging for)

And this is all factual. This info has been confirmed by the old mods/staff of the official OM Discord, as well as multiple data miners who were able to see firsthand how outdated and overburdened the servers actually are. NTT Corp's business moves are very public and can easily be viewed online. None of this is a secret.

I'm not saying that the games are above criticism, or that nobody is allowed to have opinions about the new game coming out. All of that is fine. But there's a huge difference between an opinion, and outright misinformation. And the OM fandom has a huge problem with uncritically believing misinformation at face value and repeating it/spreading it around - which is at both the games AND the fans' detriment overall.

Just in case anyone here actually does watch the fear-mongering youtuber that is "No Text To Speech"....

NO, Discord is NOT suffering a database/IP leak. Only the third-party service "RestoreCord", which is NOT made by, or has any affiliation with, Discord themselves. If you've never used, and/or never signed into, RestoreStore with your Discord account, you are safe.

(Can NTTS stop it with the fear-mongering/clickbait videos/titles? Thank you!)
