>Famous developer becomes a lolcow Any other examples?
Cliffy B is probably the best example. Tim Sweeney and Randy Pitchford are runner ups.
A guy like David Jaffe could never direct an AAA game today and that kind of sucks, the manchild edginess of Twisted Metal and early GoW is stuff that would be immediately shot down in current year. He was arguably surrounded by people more talented than him but that's also kind of what made his games work.
that crosseyed Czech Jew who always looks like he smells bad
Is this a serious question
>>749421427>>749421631>famous
>>749421427streching the "dev" part, that would be like calling stacy from HR a dev.He was just another layer of middle managers.
>>749421049>Goes from cuckold liberal to chud woman hater on the fly
>>749421659Mark Kern co-developed World of Warcraft together with Piratesoftware.
Wasn't there some dev who made some game called something like "sad quest"? or "depression trek" or something? I feel like I vaguely remember somebody like that, but for some reason it's slipping my mind
if you know you know
>>749421804That was some literally who, not the subject of this thread. This is about people like Peter Molyneux, Randy Pitchford, etc.
>>749421659unironically looks like a good stick
YandereDev
>>749421049Anyone ever bring up how young David Jaffe kinda looks like Rich Evans?
>>749421772PirateSoftware worked at Blizzard?!Damn, I never knew that.M
>>749421049there's something about the average white guy that screams future lolcow.If you're from anywhere else you're just a plain and simple nobody forever.
>I'm not an autistic retard hyperfixating on some random guy! He's a 'lolcow'! This means my behavior isn't mental illness!
>>749421631He started off as a lolcow right out the gate
>>749421884didnt his son troon out?
>>749421967EvaXephon was always a lolcow, youngin'.
>>749421049
>>749421049Toby Fox
The chigyus won.
>>749421049He actually got lost in Metroid Dread and got mad at the game for it.
>>749422131
He did Twisted Metal and the first GoW, hardly famous.
>>749422210Let's see how Okami 2 turns out first, that journalist that deleted his twitter after pissing off kamiya is still the biggest clown in the room.
>>749422210>t. seething insect who got blocked
Are any of these guys actual lolcows or do they just sometimes say/do something you don't like?
At least we got Dead Rising out of it.
>>749422210>Ruins Bayonetta foreverHeh, nothing personnel, insect
>>749424750He was only director for the best one
>>749422210Shitters have been trying to paint Kamiya as the Japanese Phil Fish for over a decade now, and it still hasn’t stuck.
>>749424750Gayonetta was never good.
>>749421049I thought this was a young michael aquino for a moment
>>749425175it has and you're coping, he's much more of a lolcow than Phil Fish but you identify with the nip because you share penis sizes
>>749424514Lolcow is just a neologism for laughingstock.
>>749421605>be dumb kid>buy TM Black online>"omg finally I found it on a 2nd hand store, kinda expensive but it's ok, I always wanted to play it omg omg">servers closed>no refounds bc lost ticket
>>749425284Get lost, ManlyTears.
>>749425284You personally not liking him does not make him a lolcow
You don't "become" a lolcow. Some dedicated autistics obsess over you and dedicate their lives to your every action. It's weird and perverse.
>>749424402>that journalist that deleted his twitterWho?
>>749424750He only did 1 and Cereza
>>749425375
>>749421631Old news, grandpa.
>>749425475In my day video games used to cost a quarter!
>>749425402It was someone at dualshockers, I saw the original tweet but didn't save it, so here's a vtuberhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uk7gxJffXlQ
>>749422575>want to be seen as cool and hip and a dangerous guy> so fucking thin he looks he can be folded in half by a sweet spring breeze
>>749425968(it actually said KEK)
>>749425968Yeah I'm thinking HE'S BACK
>>749421049does Jaffe have FAS? Also I like his channel, even if he can sperg out and be retarded sometimes.
>>749425175>and it still hasn’t stuckbecause his sycophants deny reality hard lmao
>>749425968At least post the real picture
>>749421049Chris Roberts>once heralded as the man who made Hollywood shudder in fear>started the whole movie game trend in vidya>also some consider WC3 to be the first AAA game>Wing Commander is a beloved series with no bad games >now a lolcow scammer who hasn't finished his feature crept behemoth of a game
>>749426589post the pic of him on his knees in some pedophile's bathroom while he's hiding his USB stick behind him
>>749422029i literally thought it was a younger rich evans when i saw this thread
Is Anthony Burch considered a dev
>>749426774He's a writer, and ever since he called out that whore Alanah Pearce I'm more lenient on his existence.
>>749421631That's such a bad beard.
>>749421049>>749422029What is this phenotype?
>>749427546Doughboy.
>>749426691it's penn jillette's bathroom
>>749427886Exactly
>>749421605Yet that edgy story made for a successful television show not too long ago. I think audiences years for a return to manchild edginess.
>>749427045>spoilerWhen the fuck did that happen
>>749425968>norwood>cuck t-shirt>cuck chair in the backgroundhow the might have fallen
>>749422575Look at that nigga's head lmaooooo
>>749428192The show is not nearly as edgy as Twisted Metal Black was
>>749425475I still dont know who this faggot is but im pretty sure he doesn't make games or do anything important. So I dont wanna know
>>749429097>So I dont wanna knowToo bad: He made a game where he made the save file your Steam Achievements, thus making it "unpiratable". And he is still only 20% of the way of developing a shitty depression-based EarthBound clone after 10 years.That's hardly what he's known for, but it's a cherry on top of his shit Sundae.
>>749421049Didn't the guy who made Ultima fund an MMO then cancelled it and used the money to go to space?
>>749429641Lord British is a lot of things, but a lolcow isn't one of them.
>>749427546diabetes
>>749421427>lolcow cuz he makes me mad
>>749421049You leave Rich Evans alone
>>749425968Cucky B also praises Anita Sarkeesian.
>>749421049how is David Jaffe a lolcow? He is based. Always shits on Sony and hates ugly women in video games.
>>749430735he defends trannies, kys
>>749430841>defends trannieswhat does that mean?
>>749430841Trans people are the best indie developers. Jaffe has better taste in games than most of /v/.
>>749430954Ironic shitposting is still shitposting.
>>749430954>fetishslop is made by a trannyyou lying?
>>749430954
>>749429097>son of a big shot at blizzard>gets a job because of nepotism, coworkers say he did nothing and was hated by everyone>fucks off to work at a cybersecurity company who got a government contract (says he worked for the government)>fucks back off to do solo indie dev>mediocre pixel slop that he jerks off about being 'unpirateable' because its linked to achievements (you can spoof achievements so its a moot point)>becomes twitch streamer / youtuber where his schtick is being a wholesome indie developing an undertale ripoff>undertale ripoff has not come out in a decade>keeps ferrets in an unregistered ferret rescue
>>749433109He also tried to kill the mold king and was crucified by the entire Internet for it.
>>749429097He's just a generic loser, but the two main reasons people hate him: he said that Stop Killing Games was going to fail (it did) and he wiped a dungeon group in Hardcore WoW (ironman mode).
>>749428669I never really thought about it before, but what would you even use that chair for other than watching your wife get absolutely railed by big black cock
>>749421049Anyone remember Bob's Game?
>>749421967He's famous for being a lolcow.
Not a dev, but it's genuinely depressing watching someone just vomit retarded shit to stay relevant.
>>749422402this is probably the only good example here, dude was a weirdo doing full body and FEET scans of actresses just for video games and when people realized this and he can't make good games everybody started to blackball him from the industry
>>749433969kekI remember the livestream where he got arrested, I remember him walking into the Nintendo Store dropping those cards everywhere and fake putting his game on the shelves there
pic relatedHe deserved better, his games from several generations ago still look and play amazing. Did we ever figure out what he died of?
>>749430735Because you didn't teach your team how to shoot the melons
>>749429641>>749429929Richard Garriott never really developed out of being 15 years old, so sometimes the stuff he does is cringy, but he is certainly not a lolcow. He simply does what he wants in life.

>>749437191what is ligma my nigga
>>749436958
>>749437346sugma balls
>>749436958Probably indifferent to the internet or opinions in general, if you have that type of personality you can't be a lolcow
>>749427546Fat white lump.
>>749426589He likes watching his games being railed by competitors
>>749430735>His kids a troon>Based
>>749433969>>749436640I remember Bob's Game. I also remember that time he put up a kickstarter, made absolutely schizokino promises (like if he got something like $1 million, he was going to build a pyramid in new york to hose the biggest video game tournament open to aliens and time travelers and use the proceeds to enslave Nintendo's Reggie Fillsamie), and then right as the kickstarter was almost over and he had maybe 1% of what he needed to keep the money, all of a sudden there was a huge "donation" out of "nowhere" that got him exactly to his pledge.I still have the demo files kicking around somewhere on my hard drive. Man it was shit.
Has any lolcow stopped being one at a certain point? I feel once you get that moniker your life is permanently ruined.
>>749430735>how is David Jaffe a lolcow?he literally came on a podcast with fake blood all over him because his troony son forced him to some activist protest.
>>749440341>Has any lolcow stopped being one at a certain point?Last I heard, dobson was starting fresh and stopped sharing his retarded opinions everywhere. Unless he has gone back to his old ways since, I'd say he is in the clear for now.
>>749421427Why does his x avatar make him look asian?
>>749444018He can thank Pizzacake for taking over.
>>749422029>huh, having checked a RLM vid in a while>see the latest one>this faggot is hostingyup, i'm good, no thanks
>>749425475did you know he worked for blizzard?
>>749444312Never understood the hate for aidsmoby desu

>>749424738Why does he use an entire tube of hair gel?
>>749433930To sit in it
>>749444312unironically a hilarious episode but not because of him
>>749424750>directed the entry with the best gameplay>in charge of the story for the best written one
He became a lolcow before the term was even coined.That's how far ahead of the curve Peter Molyneux is. A true visionary.
>>749440341Uli though he was only barely a lolcow to begin with. Dude has done super well for himself.
>>749436506>t. Sony marketer
>>749421049Rich Evans was a game dev?
>>749445075What's incredible is that he committed his greatest scam well after his reputation as a snake oil salesman was established
>>749429097he was unfortunely born with autism AND narcissism, he had no chance
>>749421631Man, Fish really is a great measuring stick to how things have changed. If he did what he did and said what he said today it'd be the biggest nothingburger imaginable and no one would give a shit
>>749436698it's officially "serious illness" but given his lifestyle I wouldn't be surprised to learn it was liver/alcohol related.
>>749426589
>>749422029It's more shocking that there are plentiful amounts of people out there, famous or not, that look just like Rich Evans. Or is it that Rich Evans looks like them? Perhaps there is a homunculus project ongoing.
>>749442545That sounds ridiculous. I don't believe you.

>>749426589I liked battleborne
>>749426689No one under 35 knows who he is
>>749433497>he said that Stop Killing Games was going to fail (it did)It was less this and more he attitude about it. He was acting like ross, probably the most genuine and wholesome guy on youtube, was some grifter asshole and double downed on it when people told him to fuck off. Skg failing wasnt some epic win for this fag, it was a lose for everyone that was all but inevitable because it interfered with the current push for removing online anonymity.
>>749429641Richard Garriott, the man who made games that inspired or laid the foundation for every game youve ever liked, is not a lolcow in anysense.hes an old school nerd back when that term actually meant something.
>>749444018The animations hes been posting are honestly really nice. If he can keep his mouth shut and just keep improving he'll no doubt carve a space for himself
>>749448362Guess I should've mentioned Star Shitzen by name.
>>749446308People shat on him way before Second Wind was a thing.
>>749426689I don't really think you can call him a lolcow.If he was dumping all the money into the game then maybe, not for taking all the retard whales for a ride though.

Ted isn't getting any better, he's just getting more ridiculous over the years. He aged like shit too, face straight out of sex offender registry.

>>749450670You don't really understand what a lolcow is. Lolcows are people you laugh at.
>>749433454The funniest part was he was right all along ending up as another case of masses trying to cancel you being fucking retards that can't achieve anything lmao. And that only happen because some hivemind couldn't take a no against something they like wtf is wrong with some people?
>>749450670Is Todd Howard a "lolcow"? He and Molyneux are just liars and charlatans, which is different to committing ritual social suicide in public and disavowing your fans a la Jaffe or having constant mental breakdowns a la Phil Fish.
>>749450858>Lolcows are people you laugh atYes, and everyone in there has plenty of material to laugh at making them a lolcow.
>>749450986Kamiya is a lolcow because you laugh at him, his video game output is irrelevant.
what does lolcow even mean?
>>749450824>>749450934Yes, how many times has Todd sold anything that didn't meet the promise? Tell how something like that doesn't land as a joke bigger than him?
>>749442545>>749430735>>749421605in his stream for his live reaction the the video game awards he had an autistic fit when metroid won best action game where he started yelling SHOOT THE CEILING to no one in particular

>>749451136wasn't he also the guy that exposed himself as a shitter playing castlemania even using that shitty savestate/rewind feature?
>>749449204oh, before that he was just background decoration, like the wizzard. a bit hyper but that was itTim is my fucking boy tho
>>749430735he's a fucking retard and gay

>>749450285Youre an overdramatic diva
>>749451558I'd say I was spot onThey like shit, and so do youlel
>>749450986Nah there is more to being a lolcow then just 'can make funny memes about'.
>>749451541lolcows don't do it during their paid work hours. They do it FOR FREE in their spare time because they're terminally online.
>>749451638All those have lot of flops and misteps to their names, some even going strong to this day. They're lolcows; they have a lot to laugh from on top of the memes
>>749451393IIRC it started when he had some political takes people thought were shitty.I remember some when BLM first started but some might have been earlier.
>>749451668That's not mutually exclusive; Druckman's every reason to laugh at him came from when was under "paid work hours"
>>749451754Todd doesn't.About the worst thing you can say about him is that he thought Starfield was a great idea, and that's pretty fucking bland.
>>749451839For me an absolute prerequisite is the interactions and comments on social media. They go out of their way to clown harder and just don't know when to stop. If Chris Chan only posted his sonichu pictures and never went on his insane rants or interacted with everyone who tried to bait him, he wouldn't have been a lolcow.
>>749450131The real redpill is when you realize these kinds of people were philosophers and kings in days past
>>749422210What? Kamiya is based. He’s never done anything stupid enough to get his based-status revoked.
>>749452062No the redpill is that basically anyone famous from history would have been a 'lolcow' if they had a phone and internet connection.
>>749454273>no, the real redpill is (the exact same point you were making)based jeet
>>749451245>>749452247Being a twitter shitposter makes him a lolcow, a normal person wouldn't use twitter.
>>749448605I'm really curious as to his position on AI as it is now essentially at the point of being what he wanted his animation career to be, a big sandbox where he told characters what to do.
Lolcow is such a retarded term to use in this case, the most I can think is Phil Fish for his outburst and the Iguana/Retro Studios guy for being a retard before making The Guy Game
>>749454435And what would a normal person do anon, post on 4chan?That's actually sadly true these days
>>749454396Is being assumed to be jeet better or worse than being assumed to be a bot?
