Whereas the quality of the games themselves are in freefall? And you just know GTA6 setting sales records is going to seal things for the foreseeable future
>>535931213I don't play new games
However they try the numbers are still saying that $20 is still what most people are willing to buy a video game for, as well as not upgrading from older hardware.
just stop being poor. isnt this board mostly neets and shit? you got money. stop bitching
>>535931213Own nothingBe happy
>>535931213Uh indie gaming exists you retard
>>535931213>plays wow private servernothing personnel, kid
>>535931213>eBay easy fix broken/used consoles>fitgirl repacks"Expensive" is a skill issue.
>>535931213Just dig into the retro catalogue. Its tens of thousands of titles deep, free if you know how to look, and has basically no hardware requirements.
>>535931213>mfw gaming becomes too expensive to be mainstream and too niche to subvert, completely obliterating most of the market-value and reducing it to nothing more than a hobbyist culture like model trains
>>535931213Because jews get off on misery and human suffering
Gaming….is for faggots
>>535931213You should have old console maxxed a decade ago before they got expensive
>>535931213It's all technology dipshits, not just videogames.It's kind of what happens when you let a bunch of kikes and cryptokikes buy out all of the manufacturing capability for the next 5 years on IOU's with government backing.
>>535931213>Denuvo got destroyed>All the good games were made decades agoYou literally can die before playing all the good games, and you should pay 200 bucks if insist in playing the latest AAAslop
>>535931213yea its pretty gay and everything will most likely be reduced to cloud gaming from a monitor soon. >>535931437this is the future. in general. retro fitting antiques and re engineering patents that will soon be public domain. theres a couple new snes games already out there, imagine a new ps2 game...
>>535931213I'm not sure these numbers are so crazy relative to increases in more basic shit like food or cars. People still seem to buy a crazy amount of tech and gaming shit
Simps will just buy it all for her
>>535931213New games have been hovering around $60 since the early 80s and the real value of $60 is about 1/10~1/20th what it was then. People in the West need to get it through their heads how unbelievably poor they are in terms of real purchasing power. There was a huge technological windfall in production costs and you got none of it. In fact your living standards are DECLINING in the face of it.
>>535931492I wonder if this image was in a magazine ad or something because as a kid I remember playing Gex one time at a family friends house for like 10 mins, but for some reason this exact pic of this character is absolutely seared into my brain
>>535931213i literally just play FF1-6, RE1-4 (original versions), link to the past, and other SNES/PS1 classics. doesn't affect me
>>535931492That's the cycle.
Is this why zoomers watch streamers Pathetic I upgraded my build last year just before AI ruined everything, I am very comfy
Techno-feudalism and rent-extraction through cloud gaming services
I zoned out of everything that came after call of duty 2, my brother never let me borrow is psp, ps4 became uninteresting, youtube videos became uninteresting, i dont do social media, dating apps etc. I post insects i find on inaturalist and look at the stock market. I have an imac because i wanted to make music but its all kiked out shit I need just a standard Windows computer to make invoices on. The last piece of technology I actually liked and could use was an mp3 player that I could connect to a computer and put songs on.
>>535931985>just before AI ruined everythingI mean, they were overpriced before the AI boom
>>535931213120 that's how much GTA 6 will cost
>>535931213Because with the new data centers sucking up energy from the earth's core you can now just rent computers on the cloud
>>535931213If you are the type of gaymer that just plays "the last thing" you are retarded and deserve being outted of that. You have enough old games to last you a life time.
People complain they can't afford the newest hardware and play the newest woke slop while I enjoy CS 1.6 on my old computer.
>>535932122But it got worse, can always get worse
>>535931563Kiefer, you ok?
>>535931213Poor baby
>>535931213Given that all new games are smoldering dogshit, does it matter?
>>535931213I have been playing Counter-Strike since 2001, every other game is for faggots
>>535931213Part of the great reset is slowly rugpulling the bread and the circus while replacing the native population with migrants that don't understand the concept of bread or circus so when it's finally time to pull the plug they won't know what life used to be like and will be the perfect worker unit that knows nothing but eternal servitude without end.

Maybe it's time to stop playing (((games))) and start reading SIEGE
>>535931361Smart. Lots of gems in retro gaming.
>>535932478Genuinely hard to take some people who hate on skyrim seriously. Its so comfy.
I only play modded skyrim now. Occasionally I fire up DEI(its a mod) Rome 2. Im playing through enderal again right now and its great and it was free
Adjusted for inflation, a 60 dollar video game in 2016 is worth 84 dollars today.
>>535931361I mean .... this kike is right. Play retro games.
>>535931492I wish a mfer would
>>535931213
SNES cartridges were $40-60 in 1995
>>535931213New games were like 60-70 bucks for like 30 years.Also who gives a fuck if you buy any of that shit you are retarded.
Come home white man. No DLC, no AAA bullshit.
>>535931213stop buying new games and feeding the jew. after a year of profit loss they'll drop the prices
is AM5 worth the jump for gaming?I just built a puter. I got a Dark Hero MB with 32g ram for $200, a new ryzen 5900xt for the MB and a 4060 for $350.
>>535931213Because chuds keep gaming and can't into civilization building, wage slaving, or war. They want to draft you.
>>535931213Back in the day games were made by a few nerds sitting around a room.Now you have those same nerds doing all the work, but you're also paying for a hundred different MBAfag product managers / SCRUM masters / project managers. >but who will plot the Gantt chart and ask the nerds if they have blockers for their jira tickets>how will we know the ETA on the new tranny character that the People & Culture team recommended>how will the company survive without the 80 finance fags/hags playing izzat financial shenanigans to game the share price

>>535931213I actually think gta6 is going to fall short of expectations. Tons of people switched from consoles to PC and since Rockstar is gay and won't release it on PC right away it will limit their sales

>>535931492The funny thing is that video games are the most profitable entertainment medium in terms of unit sold. The chip supply chain is completely fucked though.

>>535931361based stingy, niggardly Jew what do you think about Wario Land 3
The interactive jew is a vice not a hobby.
The internet has already proven to be too dangerous of a medium and vector to challenge those who currently hold power in this world.They are massively inflating the price of computer parts on purpose in order to disenfranchise all people in the world from participating online in any way that isn't curated by them, both current and future, in an attempt to consolidate control and to deliberately make peoples' lives worse, thus creating a new vacuum where they can step in and take even more power for themselves.Video games are mentioned only as a smokescreen to hapless normies to cloak the primary intent; but harming video gaming is also intentional since gamers in the last few decades have remained mostly steadfast as being unruly to authority, and some are savvy enough to cause real harm to the corporate globohomo narrative-driven mask being forced onto the entire world. It is a hobby which attracts and reinforces personalities which question and disobey authority, since they have been generally unable to undermine it from within like they did with comic books, they're simply going to destroy the entire market instead.
>>535932109I had a Zune
>>535931361Even kikes are right sometimes.
>>535931213Every day I wish for a crash, every day I hope for the vile edifice that these slimy fucks have built to collapse bringing the entire rotten industry down with it. A crash so terrible that it makes 84 look like a slump. And every shit peddling publisher and subversive cucked studio which contributed to the absolute state gaming is in today to fall and all those useless fucking mouth breathers and reprehensible propaganda regurgitators to fall with it.
stop wasting resources
>>535934365>The mainstream trajectory society which shamelessly spat on everything that came before them and decided nigger hell, jew slavery all for short term profits is capable of socially shaming men into action anymore.Nah. Joke, disposable society, better dispose of it.Imagine listening to a politician when the Epstein class blackmails every government in the entire world to do their bidding. The military didn't stop them either guns blazing, so they also must be complicit or totally useless.
>>535931213Trump destroyed the global economy twice
>>535934365>we pay women not to fuck you but you still have to work
>>535931213Hey, did you know, if a game is good, it's good. It doesn't matter what year it came out or how many people played it, sale records, system requirements, ect. If it's a good game, it's good no matter what. There's literally tens of thousands of games in the world and the overwhelming majority can be emulated on a potato. Have you played all the good games? Oh, no, you haven't? Well that means there's only two options. You're to stupid to figure out emulation, or, you shouldn't be complaining about having nothing to play. So..... Any more complaints retard?
>>535934365Lol have you seen the dumpster outside of any major grocery store? Wanna talk about wasting resources. Fuck that faggot
>>535931213things are not move expensive, your money is just worth less, that is the price of living as a slave to jewish compound interest on your money.
Xbox Gamepass Ultimate $23/month -- cheaper than Netflix Premium. You can play a shitton of top-tier AAA (and other) games. And you don't even need an Xbox. Literally you just need a screen, a potato processor that can decode video (the one built into your TV is fine), and a controller.
>>535934749This is about making computers unaffordable for the average person, who is also poorer than ever. Blaming or fixating on gaming is just a distraction making this pivot palatable to stupid dipshits, when the real intent is to seize total control over the internet and disenfranchise people into some kind of neo-serf who rents everything from corporations acting de facto or de jure as the government or in the interests of the government.
>>535934365Would you consider the 50ish billion dollars those fucks send to Israel every year "wasted" resources?
>>535931213They're trying to create a future right now where no one owns any kind of computer, and for companies and consumers to only use the cloud.Big tech's ideal future is for you to rent their compute power and for you to remote into their servers rather than actually owning a computer.
>>535931361Hebrew Trvth Nvke
>>535931213>And you just know GTA6 setting sales records is going to seal things for the foreseeable futureThe expectation that GTA6 is going to set sales records has been effecting things for awhile now.The release delays have probably been waiting for enough people to own consoles that can actually play it.
All the games worth playing are Windows 7 compatible.My PC is 15 years old.I just miss out on gay woke slop games, which I wouldn't buy anyway because unlike you faggots I don't contribute to a society that wants to genocide me.
>>535934915You'd have a point if I couldn't buy a 100$ web capable device (cellphone) in almost any town in the country. And again, if you're smart, you're not even considering those compute options for web access. If you're correct, it would mean that normies would have a harder time accessing the Internet, which I would fully, ten thousand percent, literally kill people if it was legal to achieve this, support. So bad argument.
>>535934871With all the data centers out there that's obviously the future of gaming, but for now corporations only put really shitty games no one wants to play on those things.And GTA 6 won't be one of them.
>>535934915This. And the motives seem pretty obvious in the era of TikTok totally trashing the Jewish narrative on Gaza or Twitter trashing the narratives on race/Epstein or 4chan trashing every narrative it hears about.Power cares deeply about what we believe. Power is a ghost that lives in our skulls and if we were to ever become dispossessed of the ghosts, power would evaporate. That is why the primary focus is always on what we believe, as it's belief that drives action.
>>535931213do people still pirate vidya? I remember growing up you could download pirated games and even sometimes play online. do zoomers even know how to torrent? I usually see them using streaming sites which is kinda gay
>>535931213Modern games suck.Get a toaster and emulate Chrono Trigger.Simple as.
>>535931213they sent the gamer gate cunts to UN and a year or so later, nvidia stops hobbyist gpu production? im shocked!

>>535931361This. Last new game I bought that required a hardware upgrade was 10 years ago. If I can't run it on my current rig, I ain't buyin'.

>>535933571>everyone else is one person You’re mentally retarded. Sorry
>>535932204What if I want to just play age of wonders 4
>>535931213PS2 can be emulated on a shitty phone now. You're all set with games for 10+ years if not the rest of your life
>>535935089Nuh uh, wrong. Your phone is already a surveillance device which can also be controlled far easier than any PC. It is also already represents a rather curated environment. It's also rather lacking in capability compared to even a mediocre computer. Not to mention, most of the things which can unlock phones' further potential are generally all tied to having them be used in tandem with a computer.You're trying to sound intelligent here, but you come off as a retard who can't see the big picture. Probably some phoneposting dipshit.
>>535931213Video games have always been a luxury product. When Super Mario Bros was released in 1985, it was sold for $60. Paying $60 for one game back in 1985 would be the equivalent of paying around $180 for one game today. So when you factor in inflation, gaming has actually gotten cheaper over the years since prices haven't really kept up with inflation.

>>535931213I barely get time to play video games anymore, but when I do I just play total war shogun 2. Who needs new games when there's already gems in every category made years ago? Don't need fancy new hardware to play them and you can find them for just a few dollars on steam. I have no interest in playing online games with children.

>>535931213>buying games
Do you guys care if we go backwards graphically? I doubt gaming is going to die but we might end up having to use less performant cards from companies that aren't NVIDIA or AMD.As much as people think cloud computing is the future of gaming I don't think most countries are going to want to have all their personal compute to be in the hands of the USA.

Console niggers love to blow money, it's for the best.
>>535931361greatest ally with the fippybippying o7
>>535936772Well, if that was the case, they need to start bringing the price of compute down, not up. Price trend is literally inverse of what it needs to be to make this happen. Another bad argument.
>>535931361I know, I’ve read the Bible
>>535931213Imagine being a faggot zoomer and not knowing how to fix a computer, emulate old consoles, and/or having a very old library of cartridge-style games on your shelf for your GBA and N64.You stupid fucking cunts are literallycompelled to just consume the newest slop that comes out. Legitimately no fucking different from locusts, except you all have broccoli for hair.
>>535931213U guys should play this game called Rape Ranch if u can get a copy. It's pretty creepy shit.

>>535931361Oh noI can't afford new games though
i'm currently playing a 6 year old gook indie game that can run on a toaster on my 4080S/7800X3D
>>535931213Look at your phone. You can literally play fucking PS2 games on your phone these days. Some people weirdly think that mobile gaming is still where it was 10 years ago. It got better as the phones got more powerful. Hell, I haven't even been playing PS2 games on my phone recently, I've instead been playing RE2 on my phone.Gaming just isn't expensive unless you honestly let it be. I mean, if you're the type of consoomer that HAS to consoom the flavor of the month AAA game, then yes, it's expensive. If not, then it costs very little for vidya gaming.
>>535931213Its fine just subsidize the cost of the hardware by getting all your games for free

I enjoy 30-year old StarCraft and its eight sprites for every unit more than le heckin photorealistic Battleduty BLM Ops 7: Trannies Were the Heroes of WW2. I'll take unmodded Skyrim over whatever FUCKING WHITE MEN struggle session simulators AAA gaming has come out with in the last decade, even if it's got better resolution than my eyeballs. Fuck graphics, they've always been a gimmick to distract from gameplay and plot.
>>535931213Chess costs zero dollars, is the OG competitive game and has infinite replayability, theory, beauty, etc
>>535931371I'm more than willing to pay 50$ for a good game that I can be sure I will be playing in 5 years time as wellMost games are simply crap, and you don't even own them in any way or form, they can just decide to shut you out of playing them now, even singleplayer games.Any multiplayer game where I can't be the host or get a dedicated server running I am not paying a single cent for.

>>535934250>>535935943Both were bitchin'. I still have a Zune neon sign store display and a Sansa with all of the MP3s I liked to listen to while running.
>>535931437Yes but with a caveat, just because someone did a shoddy pieces of shit software under poor conditions doesn't mean you have to give them any money or credit, the whole thing about indie is because they delivered an actual good game despite not having a multinacional backing them up, on this regard most indie games promoted by hipsters are still trash.
>>535931213oh no, tourists don't like this

>>535931213Everyone is about to realize that the economy is truly everything in life, it even dictates warGames were being mass produced and hardware was cheap because of the zero interest rates, studios were basically borrowing money with no repercussions and now it’s all coming crashing down as the last pivot to save the system is that AI will magically fix everything

I just bought a XBOX Series X and I have no idea what to do with it. The games are beyond boring and it just sits there. Any time you want to do anything, it's like a fucking hour to download. It's pretty fucking gay.

>>535937101It's almost too sad they can't, I have worked on mod teams and made a few of my own just because I autistically wanted to improve the economy output of some game while making damage more realistic or whatever, I published on Moddb because why not, some may agree with me and here I gave them the goodi3s, and lo and behold I got people voting me up and even featuring the things I did at youtube despite being years since I did anything, I didn't think about any cash back then or now, I have an actual job with responsibilities and they call me even on vacations, but it still makes me pride to know the stuff I did is appretiated, how many people can say that about their hobbies? That even when you are just playing with something the end result still makes people play and want to tinker and give something on their own?

>>535937858Hope you enjoy some kinos bro
read a book nigger
>>535937858Oh shit good luck dude
>>535931361Alright, you're spared from the oven.
>>535939567Haha I am printing miniatures, I think just last month got like an entire new mehren company and then some nids to round them up, all for the cost of what, 100 dollars in resin, alcohol, tissue paper and whatnot, basically most of the post girlyman return range, while it's true hardware has gotten expensive it's obvious there are lots of alternatives and you can just refuse, my hope is the chinks eventually start to flood the market with cheap alternatives so they fuck over all these asshole hardware companies and show it's all a scam.
>>535931361I’m thinking this juden is right
>>535931213They intend on making it all streaming. Take away the people's ability to run games on their own. Then track how much time they play, track what they play, cut them off if they play wrong, think wrong, insult Israel, etc. They'll probably try to ban consumer GPUs due to "climate change" while building more data centers.

>>535934811you think that's a waste, wait until bitcoin crashes and all those ASICs become useless garbage.
>>535940039Good choice. I went the other way and began to accrue Grenadier & Partha miniatures and archiving everything from 78 to 2003. The future is physical media. Video games require preservation too, but I've not much hope for hardware sticking around, like CRTs.
>>535939449who said anything about graphics you fucking nigger retard. the controls are shit. playing on a tiny screen in your own house is shit. get some goddamn standards for the love of God are you a fucking pajeet?

Gaming was too cheap. There I said it.>A photo camera is 2k usd, a good zoom lens is 1k-2k. >Buying a single sh figuarts you collect? 100 bucks. A myth cloth? 150 bucks>buying a guitar, amp and some pedals? 1k if economic brands, 3k if fender/gibson. Lessons? 200 bucks monthly>any sport that needs gear like surf/ski/shit like that? several KsGames never catched up with inflation. They were subsidizing your 60 bucks games by selling dlc to whales. A AAA should cost 100 bucks. A console no less than 1k.Now if you werent retarded instead of cheaper games you would ask for more expensive games so it becomes niche again and they start releasing good games for a select, limited playerbase. Literally when the hobby is more expensive, better people is the audience. I havent seen a single ghetto nigger doing high end photography. But no, you want 30 bucks games so jamal is the default audience of it,. YOU GOT WHAT YOU FUCKING DESERVE
>>535934365That's the reason for the price increase. They want to price out people so they become more productive. But there is a catch there where new games are garbage so people aren't actually affected by these price increases in terms of gaming.
>Buy one (ONE) computer / console>Play it for several yearsWhat's so hard about this for snoy children to understand? You spend a couple thousand on a PC or a couple thousand on a console, play it for years, can last 5 or 10 years. The same PC from 5 years ago can run all good games out today because new games are shit, and you can pirate literally everything, and you can find a notendo switch for like 100 bucks at a garage sale - which you can jailbreak for free day 1."Gaming" is still a one time purchase if you just pirate, and if you buy secondhand it's still very cheap.>>535931985It's literally just Beyond All Reason that I would want to play, but ehhh, I'll just stick with old games and reading. I don't need new games, they're not good.And I've disconnected from the web, no steam account anymore even, so I wouldn't be able to play multi-gayer games without making a new account, and I won't do that.
>>535931213How does this board somehow remain as a place for “gamers”? Video games are retarded and built for retards. Why would you even spend time fucking with video games?. I haven’t played a video game in 20 fucking years. Video games are literally turning niggers trans. Why the fuck would anyone care about video games? What a monumental waste of time .
>>535940556>they want people to be more productiveis that why they are replacing people as fast as possible?
GTA games on PS1 weren't really that popular. Brand new games cost about $40 back then. GTA gained popularity on PS2 and up. The graphics have never been groundbreaking compared to other games, but you could do pretty much anything that you want to in the game. So this time they spent 6 gorillian dollars making GTA6 and the graphics are impressive but I just don't care. I haven't bought a new game since 2019 and my last console was a PS4. Gaming is for wealthy nerds now. I'd rather revisit the old games that I already own physical copies of which is another thing that they are taking away from you.
>>535940534Inflation =/= budget and personnel creep. Videogames are only massively unprofitable multi-centimillion dollar affairs that had to rely on milking the fuck out of whales and selling tie-in merchslop to subsidise their production costs because they wanted the izzat they think such a large production brings them. Have you heard of the new GTA? It's basically as culturally legit as a Marvel film! Why? Well because it cost just as much!
>>535940472It never went anywhere and there's people making custom enemies and scenarios to this day with 3D printers and kitbashing.
>>535931213God/יהוה is a child raping kikethere is no omnipotencejesus christ/YEHSHUA/YOESHUA/JOSHUA/יהוה is a liar and we WERE all AFAMILY NOT ANYMOREwho the fuck would worship a shit on the floor.
>>535940622There are many theys. It's not a singular nor binary thing. The theys that want people to be more productive either want a better society than the one we have and or want more people to abuse and discard for personal profit. Or they're virtue signaling. Or they're running psyops to sway opinion either to cause confusion or they're working for special interests. Or they are tired of the immigrants and want the citizens to fill the gaps instead.
>>535931361>don't play new games>don't watch new movies>don't listen to new music>don't read new booksIf I were Amish, my cutoff date would be 1989.
>>535935881
>>535935568Literally thisAnd thats the majority of board respondents, pure delusions that everyone else is the boogyman to accuse
>>535940671You are not making the point you think you are making.If the games budgets and teams are gigantic and skyrocketed, they are giving you a much cheaper product now. >Between 1995 and 2026, cumulative U.S. inflation was approximately 118.5%, resulting in an average annual inflation rate of 2.55%. Because of this, $60 in 1995 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $131.11 todaySo if they sell you a game with a gigantic budget for 80 bucks, they are actually selling you a cheaper game than a 60 bucks game in 1995 when the ps1 was released.Again, the solution to this is having 200 bucks games. No dlc allowed. So niggers, poorfags and people with bad taste can leave.
>>535931445I miss Turtle so much dude
>>535940950>If you pay more money then the games will be gooderNo, they won't. Old games were good because they were made by developers that were skilled and cared about the game itself. Mega corporations now don't give a fuck. The art is lost.
>>535931213I don't need games anymore. I play pattycake with Google Search AI Mode.
>>535932904Yeah to be fair games would be 150-200 money units per game if they raised in inflation like everything else, and they (somehow) take more money to make too nowadays. That said, why would anyone buy them for full price or even half price nowadays no matter what the price is.
>>535931213Because they're trying to corner the market and remodel it into a live streaming service via cloud gaming. Make the hardware out of reach and you'll have to rely on their GPU farm. Which will only be accessible via a subscription service. Recurring revenue for them while you literally own nothing.
>>535931213I'm playing Sol Cesto and Zero Parades.Maybe a bit of Forza h 6>GTA*brap*
>>535931361This Jew knows. Piracy is where it's at. Let those fucking game companies rot 0 profits from me.
>>535931361a kike being based? probably a vpn
>>535931213I don't know how old you all are but having fucked around with self-assembled PCs for almost 3 decades now, every major upgrade throughout the years has always taken a big bite out of my bank account. It was never a cheap hobby as it shouldn't be. We already have enough 3rd worlders flooding the fucking thing.
>>535931213>games cheaper than ever when adjusted for inflation>more variety of games than ever before in history>more accessibility to games than ever before in historystop making everyone around you responsible for managing your emotions.
