The End of Need for Speed As We Know It

The END of Need for Speed as we know it... is a video created by Theo Thomas under the name of BlackPanthaa.

Why It's Atrocious

 * 1) At the beginning of the video, Theo literally compared Ghost Games' downsizing to Black Box's (the same developers who did the 2005 title Need for Speed: Most Wanted) closure after the failure of Need for Speed: The Run which isn't remotely fair and doesn't make any sense. Plus, most of the developers are moving to a bigger studio, which is Criterion Games themselves.
 * 2) Theo believes that Criterion Games will take the franchise to a bad direction even though the team that will work on the future titles are no longer the same developers who brought Most Wanted (2012) much to his dismay and it's a big misconception.
 * 3) *Despite Electronic Arts being one of the most controversial companies nowadays, they already have more than enough money to hire people to work on their games which isn't that bad.
 * 4) According to his fellow YouTube user StraightUpHippo in "CRITERION TAKING OVER NEED FOR SPEED IS A GREAT MOVE! (RE:The END of Need for Speed as we know it)", Theo's been spreading misinformation towards Criterion, believing that they'll completely remove customization, re-introduce "crash cameras" and turn future games into rehashes of Burnout franchise like Most Wanted (2012) while repeating his point over and over again without being concise.
 * 5) Hypocrisy: Even though Theo claimed that he doesn't dislike Criterion, yet he's talking trash about them while praising Ghost Games way too much like if they were the modern-day Black Box despite they only made average games, which is one of the reasons why Ghost Games have been downsized.
 * 6) After uploading the video, Theo has been called out by chip300RR for splitting the Need for Speed community thanks to his actions, causing the fans to hate Criterion for little to no reason. As the result, Theo didn't take criticism very well and lashed him out. This shows how much of a Underground/Most Wanted-era fanboy he is.

The Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) At least Theo's got a point about EA downsizing Ghost Games being unfair while Need for Speed: Heat was a noticeable improvement over Rivals, the 2015 reboot and Payback, despite it wasn't enough to save the developers anyway.
