Video Game Collector Calls Me A Fraud

I am disappointed at the amount of comments from people attacking his appearance etc. Please rise above being like that. Debates like this are just fun for the sake of them. Enjoy it for what it is and don't be hateful.

He isn't a collector. he is an investor and as an investor he will do anything to protect the value of his investment including lie and defame

"Jobst is just doing this for profit" ...later... "There's nothing wrong with me and others doing these things for profit." Way to argue against himself.

That dude has the most infuriating, manipulative, and childish editing I have ever seen. Even without context, I'd hate him on that sole characteristic

Leave it to NFTbros to ruining people's hobbies.

To me, the fact he took the time to alter clips and then refuted the altered clips shows actual malice and is the most disgusting part of it. At that point, it's not grasping at straws, it's manipulation.

Collectors are happy when prices drop because they can add to their collections. Speculators are happy when prices climb because they can leverage their investments. They are not the same people. They are two very different people sharing a market, one out of love, one out of greed.

Instead of engaging with the argument, they: a) misrepresent your point b) make any attack on them an attack on the industry as a whole c) do the "I don't know this person" bit to delegitimize your point without addressing it d) do the "he's making money so he must be lying" bit Politicians do this kind of shit all the time.

I'm not going to trust anyone who says "we used to champion our heroes" while showing a picture of Hulk Hogan as an example. Hulk Hogan is the reason Hulk Hogan is no longer "championed"

If 1 video by a YouTuber causes your entire business to fail, then it was a business built on sand.

When he says "real" collectors, he means speculative investors. The actual real collectors saw one of the best selling, common games of all time sell for millions and thought, "That doesn't seem right". But Karl went and dove into this head first, did a bunch of frankly excellent research, and published it. Then immediately, people were trying to discredit and cancel him. This was an important piece of reporting, and the backlash only reinforces that. Nobody likes to be left holding the bag, but that is a risk you should be prepared for when speculating on any type of volatile market.

"Rip open King Tut's sarcophagus because beds are meant to be laid in" SIR that is a COFFIN and there's ALREADY A CORPSE OCCUPYING IT that is such a ridiculous attempt at an argument lmao

For those who want to know what happened to 'Mad Dog'... He ran, with his tail between his legs - deleted his channel and all its videos and privated his instagram. I like to picture that smug grin being wiped off his face after watching this video.

“This guy insults my very being to the core, but please don’t attack or harass him. I don’t want to be the cause to spark up hate.” Words from an Absolute Legend

How on earth is Karl able to remain so calm in the face of such bad-faith arguments? It's infuriating that anyone thinks that guy is credible.

"Do I look like a puppet to you?" Yes, like Pinocchio to be exact.

My dad gave me some valuble advice: "There are two types of people, people who pronounce it Mario, & people who pronounce it as Mayrio. Never trust anyone who pronounces it Mayrio"

I love how he attacks your "dramatic music and narrative tone" while having the most aggressively manipulative and dramatic editing I've seen outside of a narrative critical social media post within a live action teens movie.

And he just now put his entire channel on private. Clearly this wasn’t a hill he was ready to die on. Great job 👍

The thing that pisses me off the most about the guy is the fact he called a sarcophagus a bed, tbh. Like wasn't he taught in history class that they are coffins??
