At times the show has gathered mixed feelings amongst gaming fans and there have been grumblings about the program being biased and having hosts that generally have no gaming background. On the other hand the current host Kristiina has been working in game retail, in addition to being a musician. Tilt.tv regardless remains Finland's only steadily running gaming show, especially after the collapse of MoonTV. Tilt.tv has been running continuously for over 10 years, which sets it to compete for the title of the longest running gaming TV show in the world.
