To their defence, in the mythical survey they done a while back gaming was one of the highest rated things (I think it was first or second??) so obviously a lot of people want it. I don't think they are doing it for themselves or to be more popular, more likely they are doing it because thats what the fans asked for

It doesn't matter. If they change the show to appeal to the most people possible the quality will suffer because it will appeal to the lowest common denominator then it would be nothing but boobs.

I can see where you're coming from, as I watch a few let's players and know what their stereotypical fans can unfortunately be like. But they've avoided pandering to the LCD for so long that hopefully there's little danger of that happening now.

(fingers crossed)

If you don't like Let's Plays, then just don't watch GMMores. I highly doubt that they would bring a Let's Play into a GMM. And also, RL don't swear and are funnier than Pewdiepie (sorry Pewdiepie fans) and there's also two people playing which, in my opinion, makes it more entertaining.

Actually, they won't lose the uniqueness cause remember: They are NOT professional gamers, so they might stumble upon some difficulties and stuff. That's what makes them unique, and that's just GMMore, so you still got the main episode. But I won't want if the main ep is gaming tho.

*totally my opinion*

Personally, I find their Let's Play videos very entertaining. It's refreshing to see them go out of their element and fail at video games, but only sometimes. Maybe one every two weeks? It's fun to watch, but I like Good Mythical More as the "show after the show" not a Let's Play channel.

I like them because they play some odd games, and since they're not professional gamers, hilarity ensues. I'm not a gamer, nor do I usually care for watching others play, but after watching them play Octodad I then stumbled upon Toby Tuner playing it as well and I nearly died lol

I like the fact that they try some funny games.

I've never seen un-gamer youtubers and this has been giving me loads of laughs.

I also like the fact that Rhett ad Link are actually having fun, I mean, why not two of them relax and have some fun?

The best part is that they play games and NOT SWEAR.

I don't think I ever saw a famous gaming youtuber not swear while gaming.

GMMore is usually a free segment where they do what they want to, so actually gaming is not such a bad option.

But this is only my opinion, you can support yours if you don't support mine.

Yes. I find it entertaining to watch them try new games, whether they are bad or not at them. After too many I would get bored of them, but every once in a while, like it is, is perfectly fine and they should continue. Some of the games have really made me laugh, like Muscle March, and Octodad.

Some are saying now that there should actually be a gaming channel called "Good Mythical Gaming" or something like that.

Should they make another channel for gaming?

Personally, I don't think so. It would leave more GMMore episodes without something to do/without a topic (if you get what I mean (videos that lack direction or a specific goal are usually pretty fun but planning episodes is probably best at this stage)) and do you think that one of the main things Rhett and Link want to be known for is gaming?

Also, along with the new GMMore format, the new routine (i.e. Mondays - games, Wednesdays - challenges, Fridays - foods) and new GMM intro, things are a-changing - Let's Plays are (seemingly) now a weekly thing.

Some of you guys said before that you didn't want this. Are you guys sticking to your opinions?
