If there was one thing that took advantage of everyone staying home during the COVID19 pandemic it would be the entertainment industry.
From streamers seeing insane growth to more people playing video games, the pandemic made everyone find new ways to entertain themselves. One area that really saw the benefits of this was streaming services as new episodes of popular tv series like Arcane and Tiger King became a trending event on social media.
Of all the shows that caught the attention of the internet, a little Korean show by the name of Squid Game became a complete phenomenon. But for the ten people that have been living under a rock for the last couple of months, you must be wondering “What’s Squid Game?” It was a Korean Netflix series that revolved around a contest where 456 players all in deep financial debt played deadly children’s games for a chance to win 45.6 billion won.
The show was an instant success, becoming Netflix’s most-watched series and the top viewed program in 94 countries. For the next month or two after its release, it was impossible to escape Squid Game.
With everyone and their grandparents getting into Squid Game, content creators looked to take advantage of the hype around the show and take part in any content that was vaguely related to Squid Game. This includes multiple games inspired by the mini-games played in the show made however possible like in Roblox. But one stand-alone game was able to stand out the most thanks to the creator behind the game. This is Crab Game.

03.05.2022This kid is a return to form for the gaming industry. One random dude in his bedroom just throwing shit together for fun. The graphics are shit, the sound is shit, the UIs are shit, there are bugs, security issues, and cheekiness to do with intellectual property, but they're FUN, and that's the only thing that matters. The AAA industry has forgotten that since like the early 90's.
God speed to Dani, and I wish you the strength of character to not burn out, or become paralysed by expectations.

03.05.2022Hey can you make a playlist of all the obscure competitive games you made videos for? It's one of the main reasons I'm subscribed to this channel, and now that you removed them from the Akshon Explains list it's hard to find them all.

01.05.2022it's hard to show respect to the creator of crab game when at its peak, without a report feature or any sort of moderation, uses of slurs overtook every lobby & it wasn't just a couple people using slurs, it was literally the majority of all people using voice comms. i still can't play the game without getting called a slur or hearing, unprovoked, people yell out slurs. idk why scenarios like this weren't expected given that it's a large group of anonymous players given the ability to use voice comms without any sort of moderation.
it's cool that a lot of people got enjoyment from it but no one ever talks about the disgusting community that the game basically welcomed & it's weird that people want to praise someone like a game developer that doesn't show any sort of care for things like this happening.
