Sacred Symbols, Episode 277 | Is the Skinsuit Complete? (Video)

Watched this for a different perspective on the ABK stuff and I thought Skinsuit might have been referencing Dune. Two things, I skipped around but enjoyed it and I didn't realize LMS had so many LI/NY folks. Second, I thought the released statement on ABK was fine, because it was just a statement on that acquisition. I would expect Microsoft to acquire more studios(whatever the appropriate word is) and role more cross platform games into exclusive Xbox/PC deals. But I think ABK's main stuff falls into a different bucket on the P&L, but wouldn't be shocked if they took a smaller title and rolled it as an exclusive.

I'm tired of people being dragged for having different opinions and then not being willing to stand up for themselves. This whole "words are violence" thing has got to stop. It was refreshing to hear Colin lash out in defense of his friend. Colin's rant just got him a new subscriber.

Absolutely ridiculous situation with EZA, well said Colin...well said. The transparency and respect between hosts and the integrity for your audience is the reason your content and subscriptions are heads above the competition. Keep up the great work guys, thanks for being a breath of fresh amongst all this nonsense.

This whole situation is fucked. I’ve been a EZA patron since 2016 and fan of theirs since GT days and a fan of Colin for even longer. The worst part is that it’s a small portion of fans that are making so much noise. Unfortunately some of the members there have the same mindset so Brad is in a rough spot. I wish I could just support Brad and Huber but there’s no way to do that. Much love

Joshua Leemon

It is most heartening to see Colin defend his employee and friend. I hope I live up to that example, should I be given the opportunity. No need to do or say anything against those few that are willing to get pulled around by their aspiration—just to feel like they have some morally consequential fight in their life, and that they might become famous on social media for doing it. We people who value actual good, like peace and integrity, don’t need to stoop as low as thinking any mob is deserving of appeasement. Don’t kneel, but also don’t run. The mob will get bored, because some tweeting is the only effort they are willing to muster for this cause that they think is so important. The pitiable fools.

Walt Duncan

Same. Just joined Patreon after Colin’s EZA segment.

Gray Gordon

Colin standing up for his friend brought tears to my eyes. Hearing the passion for standing up for your loved ones is a really powerful thing.

Jonny Sousa

I watched that episode because of dustin, and really enjoyed! Not gonna be watching any further though.

Cass Whelan

I've... Only ever heard of Easy Allies in passing. Guess I wasn't missing much

Born-Blind

What the hell is wrong with having Matt Stoller on? 😆

Born-Blind

Colin was right! I canceled my EZA patronage, which I've paid since they launched in 2016, due to this whole situation with Dustin. I spoke with my wallet and let them know the issues with how they handled the situation. I encourage others to do the same. That said, I hope that Dustin and other members of the LSM team are open to working with EZA again if they offer a proper apology. Both groups are capable of great content, and it's sad to see a small minority of vocal complaints ruin these kinds of collaborations for everyone.

I know a guy that's legally blind and he games all the time. He has a magnifying glass and gets right up on the screen to read texts. I guess it's different because he was born that way and isn't completely blind technically

Born-Blind

These weebs with the "the podcast is too long" nonsense. I almost always listen to 3-4 hour podcasts in multiple chunks... At normal speed mind you. I'm not a savage...

Born-Blind

I hope that the EZA experience acts as a reminder, to everyone, as to why we continue to encourage this company to stay the course, and not be dragged down to this bottom feeder mentality - it's probably the only good that can come of it. This patreon exists as a counter to this disgusting treatment and I am proud to be a part of it. EZA are indulging in fan toxicity to try and keep their failing company together, and by throwing their 'friends' under the bus (where have we heard that before?) just shows how low they can, and will, go - and Colin is right to call them out for it. if I was a member of EZA I would be fucking ashamed of myself, and the company I stand to represent. If anyone is offended by any member of LSM, they should have the balls to talk out their issues with them. They would have a large paying audience that would happily see it. But they won't because they know LSM would wipe the floor with them and their credibility would disappear overnight. They're hanging by a thread, and they know it.

Tom Griffin

Most people may disagree, but Colin Platnuming Skyrim and doing a spoiler cast would be my episode of the year. I'd pay an extra $5 for that content.

Stefan Catinella

Anyone offended by Colin, their emotions are controlled by listicles of obscure things people have said, taken out of context. They need to grow up. Anyone offended by Dustin is just down-right insane, he has to be the most inoffensive, reasonable and carefully worded person I listen to. Ps I gotta say "Easy Allies"? more like fair-weather-friends. Phhwww! Pps "Hugbox" lol.

TreelineMars

Seeing Dustin’s voice quiver and tremor was really sad to see, he’s such a good dude and the shit constantly throwing at LSM is fucking disgusting.

Abdirizak

I kinda want to give Colin a hug after this! Proud supporter of LSM!

Miguel

Well, I'm sorry Dustin had to go through that. It's never pleasant.

BryanK75

after colin revealed his notes for the easy allies drama i went back to see if he printed them during the show and no he had them there the entire time lmao. classic colin prep work

iain mcmanus

Big respect Dustin

Ellis

I saw and heard the pain Dustin displayed, how much this crushed him the way he was treated. Dustin has been nothing but excellent since joining this company and contributing to SS. I can't say I'm surprised by this reaction. After I saw he was joining frame trap, my first thought was how big of a shit storm eza community would make out of it. I was a patreon there back when Brandon interviewed Colin. It was fucking embarrassing how they treated him and how Brandon completely ran him over. I loved the old eza but they let the fans run the team. Shout-out to Dustin Shout-out to Brad.

Daniel Murray

Dustin, we love you, you baby boy.

plzsendpie

All I want to say is that we love Dustin.

Michael Hobbs

I've been a sub of EZA for so long I couldn't pull the trigger and get myself to completely abandon ship, but I made sure to reduce my pledge to a minimum. I'm hoping they get the message loud and clear.

Brogan Trull

I don't understand why digital game enjoyers want physical game media to go away? It's doesn't change anything for you. You can buy your discless console and buy your digital games without ever being detrimentally affected by physical media existing, so to quote Colin, "why do you care" if physical media enjoyers get their discs? What are you even arguing against? Just ignore it lmao

Yalingo

The people who responded that way at Easy Allies probably believe every word. Some of those people are clowns.

PRETENTIEUX

Brad will be the next one to leave Easy Allies while there is still time, if he is smart.

PRETENTIEUX

Does a company like Easy Allies think about what they do before they do it? Surely they had to know there would be insane blowback from what they did. Like what is the worst that could happen if you ignored the people who whined about it? Seriously. This might sound weird but you DONT have to respond to everything that may or may not be controversial.

Luke Silletta

It was a trap, Dustin! A Frame Trap. Seriously though, I just hope Dustin and Brad continue to be buddies and that they can both move on together. I had no idea any of this had gone down until this episode.

Adric Braithwaite

I dont like seeing our boy Dustin upset. Just a few weeks back constellation is getting called out for being "woke" and now this. Whats going on?

Mike D

Had to jump back on board with a paid membership once again after the EZA situation. Guys, we love yall and what you do. Keep on keeping on.

DoubleDave

wow, that Easy Allies rant was worth my years subscription alone

TreyDogg

Just want to say that I am always so impressed by the integrity of this company and am glad to be a paying Patreon member! We stand with you Dustin! Btw, weirdest place I have see braille were on bathroom signs at a zoo. If you are blind why are you at a zoo?

ItsThatJeremyC

Brad better not act surprised when their dwindling audience comes for him for being Dustins friend/supporting LSM.

Lord Zedd

I'm blacker than Wesley Snipes in the middle of the Apolo at Midnight and have been watching Colin for going on 10 years now and have never got an ounce of racism from him. I'm sincerely curious if there's something I'm missing or have not heard that makes people say that. Or if they just throw it out there to see if it sticks.

Jonathan Turner

Lol fuck anyone that says the show is too long!!! Doesn't even make sense.

Mitch Orobko

Put this in the Thumbnail Hall of Fame
