10 Mind-Blowing Things You Didn't Know About PewDiePie

6. Games Played By Him Sell More After He Releases A Video

PewDiePie has somewhat of an "Oprah effect" when it comes to the video games he plays - which is to say if Oprah recommends a book, people buy it. But if Pewds plays a game, everyone flocks out to check it out for themselves. For example, he was the first YouTuber to play Slender and from there, the game exploded. His influence has also helped a ton of indie games receive some time in the spotlight, causing them to melt down as his Bro's rush to play whatever The Pewds is. But it's not just small, indie games: look at games like Goat Simulator, Outlast and even Skate 3; Pewds leads the way when it comes to the YouTube gaming community, and like it or not, he's going to spearheading that community for a long time to come.
