Yeah, y’all need to watch the video before you downvote. It’s satire and speaking to exactly why you are downvoting it. Love me some Dunks!

MODERATORS
I think putting something like (Dunky) in the title would probably have helped
It's also just not funny. I get that it's trying to be, but in my opinion, it doesn't land.
"Yeah, well, you know, that's just, like, your opinion, man."
Actually it is funny, I know this to be objectively true as I am the sole judge of comedy.
You're nitpicking and biased. I win. Bye bye.
It's got a little something for everyone
This is the first Dunkey-type comment chain on Lemmy
Okay.
His videos have been pretty weak for a while. Happy that he's been branching out into publishing games though.
Maybe... Hear me out here...
Maybe people just don't like it and don't think it's particularly funny?
Humor is subjective, but just in case it's good to clarify it's a joke.
With current international politics it's hard to know the difference
From what I understand of the Lemmy userbase, this type of humor generally just does not play here as much as it would at somewhere like Reddit.
The people who enjoyed the joke just upvote and move on. But yes, we do have a lot of folks who do not embrace obliquity.
remember this video game is Open World. That means we must open our wallets and pay all the money in the world.
Honestly surprised this hasn't be used by a game studio yet.
MMOs charge indefinitely.
lol at the downvotes. It's a Dunky video. He's taking the piss.
Dunky video
What if you don't know who Dunky is and you didn't find the video funny (seems pretty low effort).
I loved the video. It's very obviously taking the piss but I think this has been a sore spot to many Lemmy users that the humour isn't gonna hit.
It's cheap and uninteresting clickbait.
Why do you assume that the downvotes are "I don't understand this" instead of "this is spammy bullshit"?
Spammy?
Clickbait titles deserves downvotes, even if it's Dunkey and the video is funny.
Wait until you learn about pardody
I'm starting to think that proposal may not have been modest after all.
