Channel description

Welcome! 

Video games are currently the most popular form of mass entertainment, and we've been making animated video essays about them for over 10 years (some of which may or may not involve a cat!). 

So come along with the Extra Credits crew as we take a deeper look at games: how they are made, what they mean, how we can make them better, and how they impact our culture.

Also if you want to chat with us live, check out our Twitch channel at: https://www.twitch.tv/extracredits

Quick answers

Is this subscribe link official?

Yes. It uses YouTube’s supported sub_confirmation=1 parameter on the channel URL.

Why do some numbers differ from Studio? How accurate is the playlist estimate?

We count distinct playlistId values embedded in the public channel HTML. That can include tabs, shelves, or duplicates — treat it as a rough signal, not Studio’s exact total.

Can I share this page instead of YouTube? How do I keep visitors engaged?
