Cons
Con Light on analytical content
NerdCubed's channel mostly consists of Let's Play content. While LPs can be used to get an impression of a game and NerdCubed does remark on certain characteristics of games while playing them, his channel is an entertainment channel first and a critique channel somewhere down the line.
Con Humor can feel forced at times
There are certain times that the humor can feel as if it is not natural, which makes the videos feel a bit disingenuous.
Con Unable to fully fund themselves
Their site, podcasts and Youtube channel are not earning enough to sustain themselves and have started a Patreon account in order to find more funding for their buisness. This is not reassuring that they are spending more money than they are taking in which could mean trouble in the future if Patreon does not fully support their costs.
