The delightful couple take one another to task over their involvement in retro-gaming's most poorly executed e-begging scam ever.

    • They also have kids to take care of and plus you might be paying extra for the premium part of the free healthcare in the UK. They might be paying for private medical insurance (PMI) which is designed to cover the cost of private medical treatment for 'acute conditions' (serious conditions like Top Hat's wrestling injuries or whatever problems they or their kids might have). You can't judge them because of their collectibles, some of them might have been purchased before they even were married or were given by fans.

    • Yeah, on second thoughts, I'm probably giving them too much credit for having thought about it for more than two seconds. Maybe it's a case of believing your own hype when you pass a certain popularity threshold, expecting anything you say to be taken as gospel and only interpreted in a positive light. If they're prosecuted hopefully Google will be obliged to nuke their channel and that will be the end of them. Having thousands of blind followers won't do them an iota of good then.

  • Anyone remember when THGM first made his major attempt at begging for patrons right at the start of COVID? He said people were living in his home in the UK while he was abroad and he couldn’t evict them, so he was crying about it. I believe he brought up things like a child on the way and he was transitioning to full time KZhead but without enough patrons he couldn’t do it or something. He was living abroad and this was coming off of his ‘handhelds around the world’ series so I was wondering at the time how on Earth he could need money so desperately when he clearly had plenty of it already. The guy’s used to being a heel though, he played one in small time wrestling so he knows how to make people hate him while getting money out of them. He’s always been espousing very right wing views too, I’m not sure why I’ve been watching them for so long, especially after the video stealing controversy

    • That video is still online. It's one of the ones with a puppy-dog-faced-Bambi-eyed thumbnail and a title that refers to being honest, direct or whatever. I probably sampled it somewhere. Unbelievable that he thought that would garner any sympathy given evidence to the contrary of their lavish lifestyles. I don't understand why he's kept up the Top Hat gimmick for so long, especially seeing as it's so badly executed. Repeatedly saying 'supposedly' and 'hyperbole' doesn't make him an aristocrat... not even a believable caricature. Often Richard even forgets to put on the voice mid-flow and can't be bothered with re-shoots. I've seen some footage of his wrestling 'career'. That's just as embarrassing. He is (was?) performing in village halls, watched by several dozen people. No wonder him and his wife need other revenue streams to break even. He seems to be experimenting with the idea that you can be a real-life heel, be hated by the community and monetise the pantomime. Talk about deluded.

That aside, my first impression was, "how can anyone blather on for so long and yet convey so little information?" The whole story could have been summed in a few sentences by anyone with half a brain.

    • Exactly. After I've done a little bit of reviewing this, it appears the person that hit them with the copyright infringement even tried to reach out before filing a suit against her. Then they doubled down on this.....over only a couple of hundred dollars. Seriously, if you're an adult with kids and can't afford to pay 400-500 for this then it would probably be a better idea for them to manage their finances better or just go back to a "regular" job.

    • They weren't "crocodile" tears so much as "vicious" tears. They were designed to weaponize their viewers. Of course, the guy suing them is a real piece of work too. I've only seen a few of their videos, but they constantly have b-roll going in the background, so I imagine this picture he claims to own was on the screen in the background for no more than 5 seconds. 500 Dollars for this? One big pile of crap. They all deserve each other.

    • Yep, premeditated and manipulative to the extreme, yet we were supposed to believe it was an off-the-cuff reaction driven by fear. I gather it's more about the principle at stake than loss of earnings where Martin is concerned. He's an advocate of copyright protection so wanted to make an example of them. I doubt he would have bothered if it had been a genuine hobbyist using one of his pictures in a non-monetized video.

    • Basically they used someone else's copyrighted work, who then sent them an invoice for their use of his work. Rather than go "ope, sorry, didn't realize this wasn't part of the subscription we have to a stock footage company, here's your $500, apologies" and letting it all go by the by, they decided that that was entirely too much to pay a fellow creator and instead just ignored it, so he filed a DMCA, got the video copyright struck, as was his right, and filed a suit for payment. And again, rather than pay, they decided the correct thing to do was try to manipulate viewers into paying them to pay this guy...when they also had zero intentions of paying him. Over a $500 invoice for rights - while standing in front of a 6 figure video game collection.
