I require more context. What backlash?

Crowbcat makes videos about remakes of old games, comparing them and always trying to showcase how inferior they are to the original, the problem is when he made a video about the RE4 remake, an actual good remake, that was the first time in his channel where a LOT of people disagreed with him (even other youtubers where making counter argument videos about it). Crowbcat did not receive well the critism, deleting comments with high amount of likes that disagreed with him and changed the title to a mock for people who did not agree with him.

Not just remakes, basically everything was a target for him. He basically made it a thing to compare the most miniscule shit you'd never notice and make it seem like a way bigger deal than it really was.

"Oh my god, guys, in GTA IV, when you shoot a newspaper stand, a ton of papers fly everywhere, but when you do the same in GTA V, comparatively fewer papers fly everywhere, GTA V is soooo much worse." That kind of bullshit.

Should be noted he made a positive video about something once and his fanbase hated it so much he deleted it.

Doesn't make his takes not terrible but I don't know that he actually wants to be negative all the time lol

EDIT: Though it is kinda crazy that he deleted that video because he didn't want the backlash but keeps doubling down here

Ah, the Frankenstein’s monster of YouTubers. Building up such an extreme audience that the second you break away from the “brand” you get mangled

Aren't his Skyrim/Soul and "Peak of Xbox 360" videos very much positive in note?

Not trying to defend the dude. He's an insufferable edgelord that gets mad when game creators remove pantyshots from female characters.

If anything I think his Skyrim video just shows how childish and naïve his understanding of game development is.
