Why does it feel like everyone hates video games now?
>>
Because bisexual cuckold faggots like him took over the entire scene.

We kinda grew out of them + industry has gotten worse in many regards

Video games are for children and no grown man should ever play them.

They suck ass now.
Formulaic garbage. The "industry" has successfully destroyed any ounce of artistry or creativity it might have had. Earlier developers attracted a more diverse array of personalities, people raised around other forms of media and cultural production, channeling that into an emerging medium. Those types are gone, and even "indie games" are made by retarded, illiterate manchildren.
Why, after the age of 20-25 would I play a video game when I can read a book, go to a museum, or watch a movie? It produces nothing but time wasting and brain rotting.

People that hate videogames only play live services and addicted to them.
Go play something actually fun and not modern 'competitive' bullcrap.

Says you. I play gacha and I have nothing to hate since i embrace JP and Western games.

This, a few years ago I was here for the rare diamonds in the rough. Now it's entirely non-vidya or extremely low-interest vidya discussion that doesn't attract agenda-setters and even then odds are bad instead of nigerians seeking engagement you get one of our many mental patients.
It's fine though, as long as nobody is here under the pretense it'll ever get better: Mods and hiro have had tools, manpower and the will do raise a single finger to change the status quo and never have so much as even tried: This place is exactly as they want it. You can either agree with them or dissent for your own entertainment. Or you know, discuss video games literally anywhere else. Lust penis.

>>746473804
>Everyone
Grifters make better numbers that the people who actually talk positively about videogames, and honestly, the same applies to every topic. Also, you got trapped by the algorithm, you stopped trying to find positive content and you watch the last Asmongold video instead

It's the hip & cool thing to do right now and all the influencers are pushing it too.

>>746473804
Zero talent, sociopathic, mercenary, white collar suits took over everything.
Foids and Faggots backed by Blackrock/Vanguard/State street/Gates foundation/USAid/Epstein and kikes wormed their way into positions of power in every single solitar male aimed and male safespace in media and they poisoned and destroyed it.
Normie women want nothing to do with it unless men are in it and it's deeply dyke

Normen men want nothing to do with it because it's shit and openly hostile towards men
The AAA gaming industry is going to die within 5 years. And that's being very very optimistic.

Everything I've seen of GTA6...it's everything that's killed the gaming industry magnified and coalesed into a malignant vaxxx made super cancer that is going to kill the entire gaming market.

Gen Alpha is the first generation to been able to see what adult gamers end being like at every stage of life. I don't blame them for ditching the traditional model, this shit just isn't working anymore; They don't care about these IPs as much as us geriatric whales do, so they get left behind.

I think people still like video games, but i think hype culture and tribalism over corporations took a extreme dive after 2025
Journos and shills would defend corpos on shit like price hikes "Cuz devs deserve to be paid better", defend crunch because "it will make games better and encouraged competition" or any other stupid because "it was in name of artistic vision and progressive values"
Then corpos started mass layoffs while asking the consumer to pay EVEN MORE, went mask off over the fact they want to make pure slop, that their workforce is a deplorable nest of sexual harassment and virtue signaling, and that now that they are too big too fall and have specific niches they don't actually care for competing between each other anymore and would rather give you less benefits on all fronts

Too big to fail? In the entertainment industry?
Want to know who else thought they were too big to fail? The people behind star wars.

we've always hated them, since their creation
we just mask the rage/hate with the dopamine of winning a level, boss, etc
but I have more rage memories of videogames, than good memories

People were saying the same shit in 2012. This place hasn't actually changed much in the 20 years I've been here, it's just that people are infinitely more retarded than they were before social media and what passes for humor is 10 feet below the bottom of the barrel. Look at the concept of piracy. Up until about 10 years ago, we acknowledged that it was wrong and we didn't give a shit, now people feel like they have an inalienable right to it and spam the catalog in outrage any time there's a mild inconvenience.

Almost 99% of AAA gaming is goyslop. Indies can't carry the entire load, the AAA space needs to start making better games that aren't made for brain dead retards with yellow cum painted on the walls everywhere for them to see where to go. Games are becoming movies and now even the normies are catching on and attaching to games with pure gameplay. Also Madden sucks, call of duty sucks, so the niggers also hate videogames now.

this only effects the "AAA"/console market since that's what people kind of mean by "gaming" in this context. GTA5 is unironically going to be pretty important since that's the only game besides maybe Elder Scrolls 6 that could revitalize hope in people.

>>746473804
Because nothing new is being made.

>Why does it feel like everyone hates video games now?
Most people interacting with the medium online identify as gamers broadly but don't actually like or play that many types of games. Instead of simply acknowledging they're only a fan of specific games, they tend to adopt the opinion that they don't enjoy the other games because they are bad and that's the message they put out into the world. Pair that with the nature of the internet acting like a prism that spreads and amplifies whatever you shine into it, it creates the false view of reality that everyone is a hate filled monster that wants to burn the whole world.

I don't quite understand what you are trying to say. Yes, Star Wars is declining as a franchise, but Disney could still make up all the lost money from their most profitable cruise and resort businesses or by just releasing some retarded shit like "Lilo and Stich live action 2" and make dosh out of mouth breathers
Look at the big 3 in the game businesses. Nintendo literally makes money out of shinny scalped cardboard, Sony makes a buck everytime a Michael Jackson or Beatles song is heard somewhere, and Microsoft has 80% of cublicle works hostage because the average pencil pusher can't even comprehend what a operating system is
And companies don't die anymore, they just get absorbed into bigger companies. Higher ups that wreck everything in sight just give thenselves bonusses and parachute into other companies to repeat the cycle
>>
>>746473804
Because they've all become "make your own fun" garbage.

Modern games are design by committee because the devs have no real vision on what the gameplay should be before they've started making the game. Indie games are espcially bad about this with devs completely changing something because of one random faggot on the Steam forum or their Discord.

Then I go back to play something before the PS4 era and remember how I used to like video games literally from the Sega Genesis era all the way through the 360 PS3 era then video games started to suck
