>"History is full of companies that mistake longevity for inevitability. We will not be one of them."The bubble in the gaming industry, caused by the 2020 pandemic, has finally burst.Xbox plans to lay off 3,200 employees.The defining characteristic of the entertainment industry is that it does not create productive value on its own. Its primary function is to provide entertainment services to people with disposable income.High-end dining, the film industry, the gaming industry, music, and even the sex industry can all be classified as part of the entertainment industry.The weakness of the entertainment industry is that it’s the first to die when an economic crisis hits.Because when people can’t even put food on the table, who the hell is going to waste money on leisure and entertainment?Hollywood is already dead, and the gaming industry is starting to die too.Because Microsoft isn’t a fucking charity,if you can’t make money for the company, the company will ditch you.https://www.digitalfoundry.net/news/2026/07/xbox-layoffs-announced-1600-now-1600-more-into-2028-four-studios-leave-and-id-software-reportedly-gutted?__cf_chl_f_tk=yg3MTsjRVMkyycvqf70BgLcp.bBaCHhekaNkvpVkzzA-1783422721-1.0.1.1-l1eLa3JyfAnMV_Lf9bEJM7WhrnOHEJTsq7rC4wcF3Wg
Sony wins
>>538502178Sony doesn’t win shit they are removing physical media they are going to be pirated like a mf
not an issue for my gacha games
>>538502106Looking at some of the crap coming out of American gaming studios, I can't even blame them.
roughly 50% of id Software employees were laid off.
The craziest part: Almost the entire engine team at id Software was laid off.Microsoft plans to force them to abandon the id Engine and use UE5 for the new *Doom*.

>>538502106Didn't a poojeeta take over Xbox?
>>538502178Sony is going to do the exact same thing because they too purchased a bazillion dollars in game studios only to run them all into the ground with live service slop. Sony has produced two games I give a fuck about in the last 10 years, and that's Helldivers 2 and Days Gone. And of course, I play them on PC.
>>538502885yesHer goal in taking over the Xbox division was to carry out massive layoffs.She plans to force Todd to make Fallout 5.Otherwise, Todd will lose his job too.
>>538502106I bet the fucking Indians they imported still have jobs
>>538502539That would be a massive mistakeBut it's probably one a pajeet is willing to make, for no reason
>>538502421>40 years in the industry>rants like a literal facebook boomerMakes sense
>>538502106Ironic this happens when a PAJEETA takes over the company.
>>538502178Sony is going under too after this physical shit.
>>538502106xbox doesnt represent the "gayming" industry anymore. they just don't make good games.
>Xbox has been infiltrated by jeets and jeetas >layoffs ensueLike pottery.
>>538502106If there is but one industry which needed brutal collapse, it's vidya.
The funniest part.>The CEO of Bethesda complained that Microsoft is forcing them to focus on making games based on their strongest IPs.Nigger, why the fuck don't you just do that? How else do you expect to make money?https://www.ign.com/articles/we-need-to-change-course-bethesda-boss-tells-staff-the-company-must-focus-on-our-strongest-franchises-as-xbox-layoffs-hit-hard
>>538503377Dat phenotype.
>>538502106its not the industry that is collapsing. people are spending more now on entertainment than they ever did 10, 20 or 30+ years ago.these are discreet AAA companies that are failing, and it all started when they began filtering out competence in favour of ideological tick boxing to improve shareholder scoring with blackrock tools like ESG to drive investment, which essentially guaranteed a nose-dive in product quality and sales. the root cause of this is ESG and ESG-like investment scoring matrices at AAA companies. the industry as a whole is still growing
>>538503358>If there is but one industry which needed brutal collapse, it's vidya.ET 2.0
>>538502106>During an economic crisis, the entertainment industry is the first to collapse.inconclusive, microsofts approach was *never* viable
>>538502106Lots of reaching points. Their products have been quite literally worse than shit for decades now (im talking the whole entertainment industry) and it doesnt really matter how the economy was doing. They let it go to shit even when times were good. In fact they designed the shit that nobody wants to eat anybody themselves. Just face it gaming just fucking sucks and has mostly for a long time. 99% of games and most consoles dont even need to exist.
>>538503377lol they could of been pumping out expansion after expansion for skyrim for years making bank.
I feel like this is all agenda 2030 shit. This plus the no physical disc anymore abd it all starts to make sense.
>>538502885Why do you think she is firing all white employees? You have one chance to answer right
>>538502106I will not believe that a computer software company didn't realize that lockdowns were creating an unusual surge in gaming, they used Covid as an excuse to intentionally overload and sink the Xbox.
>>538502539>UE5Oh boy, we finna be killing demons at 15 unstable FPS.
>>538502106>finallynigger
>>538503607>expansion for skyrim for yearsNah~ Todd is lazy.He's released over a dozen versions of Skyrim.
>>538502106>The bubble in the gaming industry, caused by the 2020 pandemicThe gaming industry bubble burst in 2014 which is uncoincidentally when they globalized and flooded steam with chinks
>>538503714>they used Covid as an excuse to intentionally overload and sink the Xbox.I believe this is simply a result of poor decision-making caused by the company’s excessive bureaucracy.>A few years ago, Microsoft executives predicted that XGP subscriptions would reach 77 million by 2026.And what happened?The subscriber base dropped from 34 million to 30 million.Four million people canceled their subscriptions, leading to this massive collapse.
>>538503409No.It's an Indian scam to import more indians.
>>538503942>What if we created subscription services with no productsWow so like Netflix?
>>538502106RGE always points out that some indie developers and developers in Asia are doing well.People are still willing to spend money on games - just not the micro transaction live service woke slop being out out by the big Western game developers
>>538503991>NetflixEven Netflix occasionally offers users good movies.But on Xbox, all we get is Todd’s *Starfield*.This piece of junk took eight years and $200 million to make.Todd lives in a safe bubble where no one dares to oppose him.It's a miracle that Todd wasn't fired.
>>538503891Chinks make good games. Period. It's the indians and ultra liberal purple hair people that fucked up every studio
>>538503950indian nepotism has taken advantage of the processes I described in my original comment, it has taken advantage of ESG mandated diversity hiring and derailed it entirely.Indian nepotism is happening in parallel and as a consequence, not instead of what I originally posted.
>>538502262Kek. Lrn2code faggots(I play retro games up to including sega saturn or as enthusiasts call it "the gayga shiturn")
>primary function is to provide entertainment services to people with disposable income.>The weakness of the entertainment industry is that it’s the first to die when an economic crisis hits.>Because when people can’t even put food on the table, who the hell is going to waste money on leisure and entertainment?Correct. Indeed, it's why gaming emerged from from the West and Japan -- those regions had the most disposable income in the 70s, 80s, 90s, and 2000s... However, now that the kikes' Ponzi roller-coaster is on its downward rollick towards Great Depression 2.0: Electric Boogaloo, those who built the pastime, are no longer capable of propping it up. As for the chinks, they all work as slave labour, as well as have a domestic consumer market for derivative, A. I prompted slop that can sustain them; even beyond the CCP obligatorily "capitalism with Chinese characteristics" subsidising all insolvent industries there.
It has nothing to do with economic crisis. People are buying games as much as they ever have. Its everything to do with AAA budgets exploding for no good reason, and their games being consistently woke and trash.
>>538504300having ultra liberal games isn't the problem. purple haired communists and troons can spend hundreds of millions of soros money on garbage media if they want to, and the world will simply ignore them. the core issue is the ESG investor tools that have essentially deadbolted DEI hiring and cultural marxist ideology into every single AAA product. As soon as a corporation exceeds a certain income potential it gets bought-out by blackrock and ESG values suddenly matter more than anything else
>>538502106I pray that every developing hand involved with diablo 4 is starving on the streets by the end of the week

>>538503377I respect that they tried a new IP. However, no sequel to Skyrim for 15 years is pretty unforgivable. Hell, they should just adopt the Tamriel Rebuilt model and slowly build out all of Tamriel expansion by expansion. It would be infinite money
>>538504240TESVI has no chance and it sucks that i gotta play modded skyrim in between wars in the future
>>538503409>the root cause of this is ESGYou mean, kikes.
>>538502106>Oh no, not my gayms by microslop! :0Couldn't care less. There are a some good games out there, both by smaller indie devs and some mid-sized teams, but the big corpos deserve the rope they are getting.
>>538502106The entertainment industry isn't collapsing; it's being outcompeted by tyler's game studio.I do think the US is in decline but you can do better than starting with a flawed premise.
>>538502807I can see a company the size of Microsoft having that many layers of management from CEO down to line, but no decision should pass through every layer. Especially those confined to division like Xbox. It would be like a field marshall giving every single order down to the infantry. There's a scale between vision and direction in level of management.
>>538503714The lockdowns were supposed to force digital ids and never fully lift. They anticipated a world where everyone became isolated shut-ins working from Zoom. It just didn't happen. People overwhelmingly refused the vax and just started ignoring lockdowns.
>>538502342That nigga is a real one
>>538504577>When will it finally be my turn to be on top?Never... And you are indeed so very, very tired... Why not, finally, get some 'sleep'? You've earnt ;)
>>538502178Nintendo wins. Sony and Microsoft lean the heaviest on third party developers while big N has the biggest franchises and the best in house studios. Bing Bing wahoo won, with PC becoming the preferred platform for indie and third party.
>>538502106i thought jeets were good?
>>538502421every nu-doom is TRASH
>>538504637It is a flawed point because there’s a large business machine behind streamers but yeah case in point would be say, Asmongold being way bigger than CNN News now. Thats not because entertainment (which is what the news is) is dying its because CNN sucked a fucking truck convoy of cocks and then it sucked some more while it tried to randomly peg bystanders in the ass. So its hard to tell whats really going on

>>538504775Some random fuckers finally gave me a pirate game. I can finally autistically build a pirate spanish fleet and port for it. Microshit and others don't give me what I want. Capcom has done better, namco focuses on it's core, but I had to bitchslap them more than a decade ago to get that. Sony sucks ass, and where in the fuck is a skies of arcadia remake sega? Are you fucking serious with that shit? Yeah the dreamcast as a whole flopped; don't let the boomers at your company who ruined it blame the only good shit to come out of it.
>>538502106They spent the last 13 years sucking major Jewish dick and acquiring layer after layer of managers while acquiring all these studios thinking that'll boost their portfolio's value.It ruined those studios to be subject to 14 layers of management.That shit ruined the entire Xbox brand.The endless meddling from the higher up Jews and the atrocious American MBAs took the hardware and made it uncool too."For those who don't want online-only, we have Xbox 360" was the moment it went to shit.

>>538505059
>>538502539>fire the people who made the only good part of noom so you can license puke5 from EpicBad idea.Without RT, that engine is buttery smooth and properly efficient.They could make any game in that engine and it'd work well.I'm surprised they didn't use it for Saarfield.
>>538505059Does anyone know why liberal developers are so obsessed with fungi and mushrooms and the like?How do they find beauty in all of this?
This is all because they stupidly over-hired after COVID thinking the gravy train would never end. Same thing happened at a ton of companies but the bigger ones could afford to keep it going longer
>>538505461my guy they all use UE5 probably because the GPUs are "optimized" for it so they get a good deal
Wait—is this because mushrooms don’t have a “gender”?Are we so obsessed with fungi just because of the LGBTQ+ community?
>>538505566they were over-hiring way before COVID. If you asked me i'd say this had to happen right before or right after the PS5 and Xbone release
>>538505059it is a woke problem. the hiring criteria at AAA companies unequivocally mandates prioritisation in hiring women, troons and minorities into development and writing positions at all costs.The ideology itself isn't the issue, you can have a "good" left wing video game in theory, the problem is, people who are radically left wing, is a non-white a minority, or a is a woman, tend to be utterly shit at writing good fantasy stories or developing good games because of a general lack of creative competence or outlier IQ in these groups.Contrary to popular beliefs nowadays, it turns out that its slightly overweight, balding white men with poor eyesight and an unusual body-odour who are best at writing absolutely fucking epic fantasy stories and implementing them digitally into a virtual reality, but they dont tick any of the diversity hiring boxes and get filtered out, regardless of their actual political beliefs.wokism causes a general competency crisis, and this is why it takes 15 years and half a billion pounds to develop a mediocre AAA game like GTA or release or an A-list movie like Odyssey nowadays. The competence is gone, the story writing ability is gone, the white men are gone. This is happening in every industry btw.
>>538505573if i had to wager i'd say that several interns made those mushroom presets and they just went with it

>>538503714Anon, you're not a normie.I'm not a normie.Nobody here is a normie.Maybe 20 people at Microsoft aren't normies.Every executive there, is a normie.Most programmers there are normies.If there's anything dumb and normie as all fucking hell, it's MBA graduates with spreadsheets.These people aren't trained to look ahead like we are.They're trained to exclusively act in the moment and project in the short-term.Nevermind the fact that people abandoned lockdown on their own.That bump in business came exclusively from stimulus packages and savings people had.Those resources run out. I saw articles and read threads discussing this exact situation back in 2020, and everyone on /pol/ forecasted that this was a temporary blip. So did the wise part of tech youtube.It was only the business graduates and their normie bosses who disagreed, and those are the dumbasses holding the steering wheel of the companies.Not us.
>>538504769This, but unironically.Doom 1 and 2 were great.However, everything since then has been garbage.
>>538502106>"History is full of companies that mistake longevity for inevitability. We will not be one of them."Is this supposed to sound deep?

>>538505702He hated white people.He longed to be replaced by a Black person.He refused to resign and give up his position to a Black person.He was laid off.His wish came true.
>>538502539So AI can write in UE5 but not in their engine.Got it.
>>538504598Probably for the better if the whole game sucks.Just the other day when discussing something completely different, the thought came to me that they'll probably use some sort of ritual race mixing gimmick where you can be for example a Nord-Dunmer mutt who has the race perks of both at the start, and can use a quest or a tool later to add another race to your genes with magic.Racemixing is the one thing you absolutely don't see in TES.It's also the absolutely most propagandised point of order in the woke agenda.There's no way they won't do it.I just thought of it the other day and I'm Hitler, surely these faggots came up with it years ago.

>>538505953who wouldve thunk if you no longer base value on labour and production it would go wrong for said value
>>538505572I believe it's about centralising the control over what sort of game is allowed to be made.The fewer engines there are, the fewer options you have.If UE5 is the only engine with the latest and greatest features that goygaming media will demand you use, then that's the engine you have to use, and Epic can say "no we don't want UE5 to be used in a Hitler simulator where the success of the Holocaust determines your high score".I already hear the reply most would give."Bruh just develop your own engine then"For most devs, that's not a financially viable option anymore.
>>538506024Good GOD I threw that in there mostly as a wild card.All right pack it in guys, games are fucked.

>>538502106>During an economic crisis, the entertainment industry is the first to collapse.Debunked.
>>538502539>UE5 Lol
>>538506133or maybe it has more to do with the hardware that game companies use and them faking out with shit like DLSS etc so they don't have to optimize. because optimization doesn't really fit in the whole content farm workflow. regardless it's no surprise that indie devs outperform AA and AAA devs every single year. it's a shame because we could've had a cheapish linux based console. it gives me the sense that they knew what was coming and then shorted the hardware stocks

>>538506112as a millenial it is totally fucking abstract for me to imagine the western world and all of its industry almost thoroughly consisting of white men.For my dad in the UK that would have been seeing the first moon landing happen (white men) on the first generation of colour TVs (white invention) followed by the invention of the first commercial supersonic trans-atlantic flights (concord franco-british), the worlds longest subsea tunnel (the eurotunnel), VTOL harrier jets, the internet (white revolutionary invention) and so on, and so forth.Now white men have been relegated to the history books of industry, all we get is garbage AI, more regulation and the increasing monetisation of existing goodsutterly tragic
>>538505966There was meant to be a second phase in 2022.The mission in Ukraine curtailed that.The first target was a series of biolabs in that country, which is where this second phase was meant to start.A new bioweapon was kept there for the purpose of depopulating Ukraine and Russia more than anything.That's the ancestral Jewish homeland from 1000 years ago, and they want it back.But the mission was successful, and they will never get their land.It's why they're pushing so hard to keep the war going, if a bioweapon can't kill the ukies, pressing them into service and killing them on the frontline will do it.And the Russians know this, which is why they used PMCs and convicts first.

>>538505675>askes boeing and IBMYeah, the DEI shit is hitting hard now. It's a strange thing because no one has any sympathy in these cases. It's wasn't a sudden economic downturn, or even a covid like event. These companies willingly took in reddit and twitter slop as if it was real and a majority of their customer base. Now they are paying the price. Name a famous CEO or anything a large corp did from 1982 until 1991. You cant. Just like then we will have an entire generation of corporations and CEO's that at best will be a footnote in history. In most cases, it will be a deliberately forgotten relic. We can only hope that it swings wildly the other way as it did in the past. So much so that niggers and women will just be unhirable, drumming themselves right out of the business. The japs figured it out the hard way, now they are scrambling to find a foothold again in markets after losing the mountain. No grand conspiracy, you are just seeing the result of years in "academic" mode", when those people are called to actualize their economic "theories" it failed, hard.>TLDR a bunch of generational commie's tried to reproduce their "theories" in the real world and it's failed.

>>538506710>people don't want to rake their brains and wallets across our ugly soulcrushing nihilistic shit anymore.That’s true.Here in China, the film industry used to be extremely prosperous.No matter how bad a movie was, as long as you invested tens of millions of CNY, you could make back at least 500 million CNY.Now, because China has fallen into deflation, the Chinese film industry has collapsed.The internet is flooded with angry young people complaining about why there are so many trashy movies made with budgets of hundreds of millions of CNY.No one is going to the movies, and severe losses have led to a massive collapse of the Chinese film industry.

>>538502251>>538504954Play HSR and ZZZ they're making games that I want to play sadly the west is culturally bankrupt they have being making games for 10+ years for an audience that doesn't exist.They kept trying to include women, faggots and other shit who were never going to play their games or watch their media
>>538506710Economic crises happen for two reasons.1, there's no money to buy products or services with.2, the products or services aren't worth the money.Pubs and clubs don't just serve alcohol at outrageous prices. They also sell good company... or they used to.The human element in the equation has nosedived in value.If everyone around you in the pub is a cantankerous nervous autist on his phone, it's no fun to be there even if the beer would hypothetically be cheaper than drinking at home.And that extends to concerts and festivals as well. Too many shit people causing trouble.Too many niggers committing crimes. Too many mudshits deliberately spilling chocolate milk in a restaurant because it's funny.It's why I don't play popular multiplayer games. The quality of player is subhuman at best. I don't mean their k/d ratio or skill, I mean their nigger behaviour and lowlife chat/mic spam.2, the
>>538502106Gaming consoles are for homosexuals and degenerates to can't afford a real PC.
>>538502106>>538506406>>538506710It seems to be an internal Microsoft issue rather than a global trend:>Xbox isn't failing because people stopped gaming; it is failing because Microsoft is treating it as a "cash cow" to fund its AI ambitions, and the subscription model hit a ceiling. If you are an Xbox user, expect fewer exclusive "blockbusters" and more reliance on third-party hits as the company tries to fix its margins.
>>538506988It's a corporate culture problem. Instead of maximizing product quality they're turning it into television. Here's 5 color coded brands that look exactly the same but with different prices. Kike madhouse. Let's kill analog to sell 200 dollar rechargeable stuff
>>538506926kung fu movies were great, we watched those over here. it was a big genre in the 90s. it made the jews (hollywood) mad because they don't like competition, if the costs of production went up 1000+% you're probably dealing with jews in your industry.I think the end of the 'kung fu movies are cool' era in the united states was when they teamed up jackie chan with chris tucker (flamboyant nigger). massive budget, expensive high end hollywood stunts. chan's Rush Hour movies were the end of kung fu movies in america
>>538506947>But these franchises had to be created for the first time... no?I just want a new Fallout game.I can't understand why Phil Spencer, after acquiring Bethesda, has refused to do anything. He's just letting Todd waste Microsoft's money.And then today, the Xbox crashed.
>>538502106The headline is correct, but the reason for the collapse is self inflicted. >Videogames The value proposition of games you pay full price for, don't own, and can get banned from by petty mentally unstable community managers desperate to justify their jobs is has lead people to just focus on their backlogs.>MoviesStreaming sites began injecting ads into everything and overspending on content that no body wanted or asked for taking on insanely reckless loads of corporate debt.Movie companies went through the same issue the have every couple years, they stopped making good movies. They overpay for A list stars. They stopped looking for indie breakout hits. It got so bad normies are watching Korean stuff and Bollywood movies (which is pretty decent).Add to that movie theaters have only jacked up ticket prices (which is on the studios, not the movie theaters). Some theaters are being smart in how they handle the changing market, others like AMC pissed away their stock cash infusion by just forcing shit no one asked for like a paid subscription to get normal service at a concession stand or $80 popcorn coozies.>PornWeird industry. Piracy unioronically is killing it. However they also suffer from amateurs competition. Onlyfans has killed strip clubs. OF girls are seeing declining income because of income stagnation and low value proposition as well as piracy.Porn doesn't have a straight forward answer but the talent has been the ones who have came out on top by cutting out production companies and selling direct.>MusicAlgorithmic feeds are killing the reach of certain music. When you dig deeper you notice how controlled the industry is. Piracy always killed sales. Concerts are hard to coordinate. >EventsThe problem here is getting the word out is difficult. Ads are frequently blocked. Tech companies are committing ad fraud. You have no guarantee the ad you pay for will be shown to someone in your area. A lot of this is self inflicted.
>>538506947And when they were created for the first time, they were unique with different settings, different morals, unique stories, a gimmick in the gameplay here and funny or epic dialogue there which didn't overlap with other games (even though the foundation's the same).Today a brand new IP is functionally, thematically and visually identical to every new sequel from established franchise's. Nothing sets them apart anymore, because the investors don't actually want to take a risk and the developers want to sellmaxx too, so they meet down the middle in mediocrity.Then they all wonder why the game didn't do well.
nobody smells their own farts more than game devs.and the games they make really don't pass as AAA-quality in 2026. they are producing mediocre uninspired AA junk on AAA budgets. a team of 5-10 devs and AI can do the same. why pay 200?
>>538507371Yup! And now you understand the nature of private equity. They do not have the capacity to create.
>>538502421>2016Fun and refreshing>EternalNot as good but still good>dark agesParry slop
>>538507292>kung fu moviesKung fu movies have all but disappeared in China.This is because no film studio can afford the production costs of a kung fu movie.Furthermore, due to a lack of funding, Chinese audiences have extremely high expectations for the quality of movie scripts. Impressive CGI effects alone are simply not enough.This has made the Chinese film industry extremely cautious.After all, a single failed big-budget film could send them into bankruptcy immediately.
>>538507128Its a publicly traded company, they're definitely smarter than other companies for taking responsibility and saying they can do something about it, and its not the market. Other companies just say "its not our fault, its the market", and they are going to lose a lot more investment for that.Its always better to own it than deflect. It says "we're still in control and we'll handle this" vs "you're going to lose, these things happen"
>>538503607Expansion? Son, did you think all those Skyrim releases were "expansion packs"? That was literally them repackaging the same fucking game for 15 years to knuckledraggers. You got more content from community made addons
>>538507298He did exactly what Microsoft wanted. Give us space ship cowboy fallout 4 with no man's sky monsters and Minecraft world generation, call it spacepunk because cyberpunk was a good marketing scam
Video game industry collapse isn't global, it's the pozzed neoliberal propaganda products Larry Fink demands that are failing. The shit made by purple-haired tranny libfaggots are unsustainable because Larry Fink was using American worker's retirement funds to try to "force behaviors".((they)) are hard at work trying to worm their way in to corrupt Eastern studios, but until then the oriental's video game industry is still making money..
>>538507669>He did exactly what Microsoft wanted.Nah~ I think Microsoft was just fooled by Todd’s sweet little lies.Microsoft really did spend $7.5 billion to acquire Bethesda just to get “Starfield.”Because they mistakenly believed that Todd’s crappy games could save the Xbox.
>>538504726Bing bing wahoo doesn't try to be something that it's not. Nintendo makes children's games, it just so happens many millennials have rose tinted glasses about them. But they'll happily slorp it up.
>>538507863Todd's lies are miniscule. If anything starfield/bethesda/the industry is a testament to emerging corporate philosophy.
>>538505873Children take the race of their mother. Bretons are an odd hybrid race, also.
>>538507587It's a shame.The best kungfu movies are the old ones where special effects were just practical effects and where the action's all choreographed like in the old Hong Kong theatres."My crane is stronger than your snake"I don't need my kungfu to mix with wuxia magic effects and spells. Villain rules over village, runs it into ground for fun, poor farmer gets attacked, his son has a talent for fighting and defends his father and whoops the goons effortlessly but can't beat the supervisor.He's found by other goons and doesn't want to fight back because he's demoralised over the suffering he and his dad were put through by the supervisor when suddenly an old man with a jug of wine uses weird kung fu to beat them.The son trains with the old man, he gets good at this "drunken monkey" style.The main villain meanwhile kidnapped the father and threatens to physically abuse him every day to set an example for the other peasants.The peasants go to find the son but the supervisor intervenes and beats them up for leaving the village.One of them escapes and finds the son and the old man, they run to the peasants and the son fights the supervisor and wins narrowly.They then try to get to the villain, there's a big fight where peasants help him beat the lower goons, and then you get the 20-minute showdown with the villain.It's back and forth, ego checks for both of them, endless taunting, "my kung fu is stronger than your kung fu"Then the son pulls the drunk monkey style and wins.The villain is the only one who dies in this story, because he's the only one evil enough to earn it.The end.That'll be a 2 billion dollar box office thank you.Don't even need CGI or post-production effects.Basic storytelling.Replace dad with a sister for added drama.
>>538507292The best ones were the low budget ones. It was mostly choreography and fight sequences, the characters were likable, like china's version of the spaghetti western cowboy gun fighter. It wasn't until the stunts started requiring trains, helicopters, car chase sequences and special effects that things started getting less interest (and got more expensive).people liked them for the choreographed fight sequences though and the hero character, they didn't really need more than that. hollywood's style was all that expensive shit, and the market could support it because our middle class was strong and had free time and disposable income.

>>538502106You forgot your shill flag
>>538507590Okay, you're looking at the situation from an investor relations and corporate governance perspective, rather than a purely economic one. Hope that clears things up a bit:>While the restructuring represents a sharp operational decline for Xbox, Microsoft’s transparency represents a calculated, high-utility strategy for Wall Street. Unlike competitors who deflect blame onto macroeconomic 'headwinds'—a move that signals powerlessness and scares away capital—Microsoft is taking direct accountability. By framing the 'Reset' as an internal structural correction rather than a market-driven collapse, leadership signals to investors that they retain total control over the outcome, safeguarding Microsoft's broader stock value from sector-specific turbulence.
>>538508243>the market could support it because our middle class was strong and had free time and disposable income.Yep.Because they're broke, young people in China now spend most of their free time online complaining that movies are trash.As a result, the entire Chinese film industry has collapsed.
>>538502223They will be lucky to get pirated. Most will just say "fuck off with your 300gb game"
>>538502106Watch none of the people who get laid off try making anything or starting their own studios. These people were genuine chaff.
>>538502309They did the job just fine.The decision maker of what the jobs they should do was the point of failure. Nigger in Japan destroying everything?? That's like literally the opposite of what all consumers want. How about an ancient unknown Japanese fantasy campaign where they invade Africa and start dominating zulus or some shit n building Japanese style camps over the destroyed African settlements(it's only OPTION to take over, you could be passive or some forgivable shit too) Yaaaaaaa I might play that. I really don't feel good being a nigger and destroying all the hard work the peasants do everywhere I go... Like some sort of horrible knuckle dragging demon.
>>538508498wtf you guys are just like us
>>538506080Lol I'm a decade behind game releases. Oh that new actiony doom was good? Didn't really look like doom to me...I wasnt rushing to play because I really really really love doomii+doom n didn't wanna get offended.
>>538502106most of the niggers that got fired where studios that did nothing, made woke trash that flopped or destroyed already established IPs so good riddance faggots, maybe try making games that people want to play and not political statements pretending to be video games.
>>538508900Feminist films are made for women.The problem is, women don’t have a fucking penny to their name.Women always spend their boyfriends’ money on cinema tickets.But these days nobody has a boyfriend; everyone’s single.As a result, the film industry is collapsing.
>>538505675Video game writing was always shit and plan/vision to gameplay was never thing, but a series of hack along, adapt around engine, invent something else in the story to fit that limitation.
>>538509039Doom 2016 plays ok. It's trying desperately to be edgy and it has a lot of easter eggs. You're also meant to upgrade weapons with special points you have to find throughout the game.Doom Eternal however is a very linear arena-corridor-arena-corridor experience that forces you to play in a very specific way which isn't that fun. Makes the game very boring imo.Can't just pick 2 favourite weapons, you don't get enough ammo for that and the only way to get ammo in many fights is to use the chainsaw gimmick. Lame.
>>538502421All of those games are dog shit but OK lol

>Entertainment first to goI feel like as a kid in the 90s, people said the opposite. Entertainment resisted recession.Maybe that was just something some retard told me. I have no opinion.
>>538503133You would know
Not really. Nintendo was the first to arrive and the last to leave.
>shitty slopcompanies laying people off left and right losing money>Lego still increasing revenue year after yearthey don't want to admit they make a hateful product no one wants. people definitely don't need a box of colorful plastic but will shell out more than the cost of an xbox to build a death star for a week on and off and then leave it on a shelf.
>>538509584>in the 90s, people said the oppositeIt makes some sense, as people will want to be cheered up. Drug dealing is also recession-proof for the same reason.
>>538502106I still buy games but usually from Nintendo as they have better games on average.I've never owned an XBox.
>>538509527To be honest, the Chinese film industry itself has been distorted over the past decade.The property bubble led everyone to believe that money was limitless.This resulted in the rapid capitalisation of the film industry, whilst directors and actors looked down on audiences, regarding them as mindless pigs.Now that the bubble has burst, feminist directors are painfully realising that it is men who buy the cinema tickets.Just like in the Western gaming industry.

>>538502106its not the economytech companies always do this
>>538502106The games industry currently consists of $200-$300 million budget games getting out sold by $20-$100 million budget games.I honestly can't blame them for making changes.
>>538502106Microsoft grew too big, too fast, and they have too much dead weight. They bought Bethesda for $7.5 billion and all they have made recently is Starfield, which flopped horribly, and they're still adding content to try and keep Fallout 76 afloat since Fallout 5 and the next Elder Scrolls won't be out until 2030 at the earliest. Those four "released studios" have all made 1-2 small, nothing games in their time with Microsoft. One of those studios is Double Fine. What the fuck has Double Fine made lately? MS just started acquiring all of these studios and they got nothing from them. These lay offs are not surprising
>>538503518>Jews bought out white companies and fired the white workers in favor of jeets and trannies>Products turn to shit nobody wantsWhites will create new awesome industries as they have always done until Jews try to cannibalize those too. You can't have an entire economy based on 100% financial fraud. Real things will sneak through even if a collapse has to happen first.

She needs to layoff a bunch of people and gut a bunch of companies so she can bring in H1B Indians and so she can add Indian based studios to their portfolio. White people always had to go, it was inevitable. Anyone who didn't realize whities were getting axed as soon as they saw the jeet walk on stage is a fucking retard lol

>>538507358So tave musicians and concerts, there needs to be a coordinated effort to make them accessible from the home. Like vrchat, but maybe more rules or rule systems to keep people focused on music/festival stuff and unique controls that can move too drunk people to a section when they won't listen. Or people that are just trying to be funny and do bits. Mostly a place for people to discuss music, irl shows of hype, drugs... Maybe make different versions for how local or global you want to reach? Maps to show area focus if there's too goddamn many people. It'd be cool if you knew that the people you met casually were in your county or city... Would make organizing real underground music shindigs much much easier. With more and more digital monitoring, in person shows might be mandatory to push back against cameras/firework monitors.

>>538502106It's not part of an economic crisis.It's Microsoft doing cuts to increase revenue, Microsoft has shifted from consumer software to B2B deals, by shutting down games studios they are just reassigning capital to more profitable endeavours while keeping the XBox hardware manufacturing because it suits it's future computer vision.Almost all American companies have abandoned the consumer market preferring to do circular deals with other corporations.Also western gaming became stagnant, no new titles or innovation in gaming, just remasters of remasters, or burning to crisps another IP with gender politics dogma, Pajeets at Microsoft must have concluded that paying for studios full of talentless women, DEI hires and transgenders was a bad business policy.
>>538502223>it's ok when steam does itRetarded kike
>>538503661americans out poos in
I don't understand why Sony and Microsoft buy so many studios then just leave them alone and they go years without making anything then they shut them down. There is so much mismanagement

The issue is DEI and it's still an issue once a jeeta runs Xbox and her right hand man is a Chinese woman.
>>538502106Economic crisis?
>>538509312They don't have that luxury anymore to be shit. I played both destiny games. Regardless what you average destiny drone says that game has the worst plot of any game I played beginning to end. However the game needed to have a good story with how they did a weekly seasonal system where every week they released a little bit of new content like a weekly show. If the plot was intriguing that could help alleviate the small bit of content they released but no it was shit and often without exaggeration involved a gay subplot. All story writers in western games are woman or trannies and this shit needs to fucking stop already and they have to take that position seriously
>>538506803>We can only hope that it swings wildly the other way as it did in the past.and I cant see that happening any time soon. the core issue underpinning all of this boils down to any corporations legal duty, to act in the interest of its shareholders. It used to be that in order to please your shareholders, all you had to do was sell the most product and increase profit margins as much as possible to drive up dividend payments and increase share value. This was a purely capitalistic imperative that forced companies to be as efficient as possible, but to also out-do competitors in the same industry by offering a 'better' product (e.g. cheaper / more convenient / higher quality). But nowadays, satisfying shareholders or potential shareholders (i.e. investors) is about scoring high on ESG metrics because the primary investor in literally fucking everything is Blackrock. They are the source of all of this. Blackrock have decoupled profitability from shareholder value and thereby steered the companies they're invested in off a cliff. Blackrock doesn't give a fuck about whether your gaming studio is profitable because they own more capital than the entire GDP of the USA. As soon as you become interesting or successful enough to attract their Sauron gaze they will buy-out your shareholders and inject ESG poison until you shrivel up and die, by which point they will be on to the next company.
>>538511964Short term profits and IP theft, once a franchise is exhausted the IP is locked and it's forbidden to be released back into the public.This is what happened to the última series, lord British tried to revive the franchise but AI forbid it.That way corporations have more negotiation power and dictate what can and cannot be published.Ever wondered why the original Deus ex and alpha centauri had deep philosophical and political content extremely rooted in real life, and despite being cult classics we never got anything like the originals?Deus Ex kept dropping red pills every minute, that is wrong-think, and corporations are here to protect you mind from wrong-think pills.
>>538510771The talent clearly left Bethesda years ago and they were able to coast on the strength of their IPs. People love Fallout and TES, so when those games come out and they are broken, buggy messes, people laugh it off and make jokes about it, but ultimately they forgive them and are patient enough to give them (or the modders) time to fix their games. But when you release a new IP like Starfield and there is no established love or good will built in to it, we saw what happened. People just abandoned it and ignored it because no one was willing to look past those Bethesda flaws for a new game that they have no attachment toward. I'm glad Microsoft is finally stepping in to put Bethesda on a short leash. They need it. Their development times are unacceptable and it only makes things worse when Todd and his hubris takes the studio on detours where they make slop like Starfield and then want to spend the next 7-10 years trying to "engooden" it because they got used to being able to do that with Fallout
>>538502106I mean, of people are poorer and don't have kids how do you expect to grow? Some manga author already complained about it, that young people should have money and a space to live to collect and buy things
>>538502807Because these are useless women and niggers who need fake jobs or they will starve Before the economy worked because you wouldn't import useless niggers and women would be married to someone (or being a prostitute which is less damaging than being human resources devil)
>>538503518The thing is EVERY game developer was forced to uglify their product. This was admitted by some of them
>>538504495Their slave fetish doesn't even make any sense. Before even slaves were allowed to have their own private lives and even don't pay for a room.Nowadays riches are too obsessed with the average Joe life and want them to pay too much for everything
>>538502106Entertainment is typically the only thing to make it through depressions relatively unscathed.
>>538507652I just bought it again.
>>538513307The entire economy is fake and gay. My friend works for a financial company who exceeds during recessions. They are making money hand over fist and they still fired half their staff so the CEO could have an amazing financial year get his bonus and fuck off. This shit needs to be illegal
>>538511964It's because they can't tell that a game isn't the IP, and the IP isn't the game.They buy studios to get the franchise's intellectual property thinking that it's the IP that made the game good.It's the fastfood mindset. They believe people go to McDonald's because of the brand and the yellow arches, not even because kids want happy meals and scream until their parents buy them the lootbox mechanic.I'm not even joking, they don't think it's the marketing gimmick that pulls people in, they think it's the name brand and logo.As such, they'll buy a studio so they can get the popular brand and then they produce a game in that franchise without anything that made the original what it was, and they think the IP carries the product.Couldn't be further from the truth.Product is everything. If the game sucks, the IP sucks. No amount of legacy material will change that.
>>538513660Its also the fact that any product that is produced from scratch with obvious left-wing narratives is, without exception, dead on release.They have to parasitically infect existing successful IPs (e.g. WoW, Star Wars, Indiana Jones, LotR, Halo) and then turn it into marxist AgitProp, initiating the IPs slow and painful death. That way the message gets delivered to the audience.
>>538513892>WoW
>>538514058without a doubt one of the most stark examples, I find it absolutely hilarious the Blizzard were forced to concede that retail is so utterly shit that they had no choice but to re-release the original expansions to avoid posting losses
>>538502178>Sony panic bought Bungie for 3.6b>Sony then shut down D2>Sony has had nothing but flop after flop>Sony betting on Marathon to save their ass, a game taht has less then 10k players on steam.>Sony won.Yeah won at speed running failure.
>>538514130These retards will never understand that no one wants to hire someone that shit talks their past boss
>>538514267In this particular case it's not going to make a lot of difference. Artists and animators are absolutely fucked right now. The games industry is dead and small companies are all using AI slop for artwork.
>>538514179I remember that, following the ‘Me Too’ movement, Blizzard was forced to add a whole host of ‘diversity’ content to its games.Things like black elves and gay dwarves, for example , utter nonsense.
>>538502421It sucks that ageism is so harsh in tech or gaming hes probably like 60? Nobody wants 60 year olds in tech sadly.
>>538514512All because some incel couldn't stop drinking the breast milk out of the refrigerator
>>538514409Even more a reason to keep your mouth shut. Ten years ago when things were pinnacle pozzed, you got laid off as a lefty game dev, called the company racist and were rewarded with a new job. Those days are long gone
>>538514584I fully believe all this shit was exaggerated. Maybe one did as a joke and they blew it up same with the Cosby suite. It's insane how they over correct any sleight to woman but reward any bigotry towards men
>>538514584Yeah, I’ve heard about the breast milk theft.What the fuck is wrong with Blizzard?
>>538502106>>538502178>>538502223Nooooo All of the programmers who are mostly women with rainbow hair are getting laid off N o o o o o Good Learn to Code Normie fuck faces Now you're the ones Losing your jobs. Dumb goys Enjoy being homeless with the druggies you stupid goyim
>>538514761Why do you guys just assume they are telling the truth. A Bungie lead got laid off because he was being "creepy" calling woman workers after hours. Do you really fucking think these woman weren't leading him on? There are always two sides to a story but when it comes to woman you only hear one. I bet the milk thing was a prank, they all had a laugh then years later cunts realized they could use the story to gain power
>>538502421Good All of these people are normies who hate Hitler I could care less if they go homeless and die in the street. Fuck um. >>538502539Excellent >>538502807Because you need to hire 50 Indians from fake Universities to tell white people what to play & think / say.
>>538503133Of course they do You're being replaced It's obvious You all died in two world Wars Your army is busy for 60 years fighting for the Jewish Empire & cannot protect your borders The collapse will occur and there is nothing normies can do to stop it. Kek
>>538514861The company doesn't give a shit either way. It's just much cheaper to lay someone off than to risk a massive sexual harrassment lawsuit by a group of female employees.
>>538514761please do not shake the cat
>>538503229Correct The entire industry is collapsing Good. Ubisoft is cancer. Bethesda is goyslop hollywood cancer. Activision / Blizzard are literally world of hugcraft, all obese women dev teams now LOL It's over Once GTA 6 flops It's really crashing and the goyim will lose their goy cattle wagie positions. How sad. I might cry. >>538503377Oy Vey Gevalt
>>538514861Your Jewish economy is dying. Fucking thank God almighty. 3000 years of weimerimutt, Jewish, sand nigger mental illness coming to a close Reminder Anons Judaism, Christianity, Islam are all in terminal decline since WWI When we summoned Moloch using millions of your dead goy corpses.
>>538514993Probably true it just annoys me that people especially here just trust the story at face value
>>538504471>sega saturnbest game on the system is yakyuken special
>>538515047>Ubisoft is cancerAn interesting fact.Microsoft’s Xbox division has 16,000 employees,whilst Ubisoft, with a market capitalisation of less than $1 billion, has a staggering 18,000 employees.The exorbitant staff salaries are the main reason Ubisoft is on the brink of bankruptcy.Why on earth does Ubisoft need 18,000 employees?
>>538502106good just know china man that jews are enemy of mankind everywhere
>>538511886>heh, PC gaming was ruined by a monopoly a decade ago so you should just accept it when it happens to consoles as well!This is your mind on shitlib.
>>538515102I will never understand why jobless NEETs like you pretend that you care about "the economy" as your parents still participate it in it to take care of you
>>538515402Yes and people especially on thus site love that monopoly and fight any time a competitor shows up. You are part of the problem kike. Stream didn't just magically become the dominant leader and killed psychical disks you helped because you want that comfort.You know what though? That's fine. I don't even think that is an issue. The market has spoken. What is insane is you hypocrite sociopaths whining about sony killing discs as you supported steam for decades. That makes no fucking sense to me but you subhumans keep doing this here and on //v
>>538515452Its a wild juxtaposition
>>538515253It's a known phenomenon that is a an epidemic in America, it's called corporate feudalism, it happens in many corporations but it's prominent in America, as companies have sources of revenue and investment that do not depend on their customer base then managers start hiring for the sole reason to increase the amount of people under their leadership.This propagates through the corporation creating hiring sprees just to bloat the number of employees per manager.This creates the consequence of companies full of bullshit jobs and bureaucratic nightmare, eventually the managers that created the situation leave because they already bloated their CV, leaving behind a feudal hellhole.
>>538502223Man it's feels so bad to see the AVGN with a receding hairline, I remember how I learned English from his videos
>>538502342I don't know why people treat wholly owned subsidiaries as unique companies. Id died a long time ago.
>>538505145overboard for ps1 is a good pirate game
>>538515590I have noticed anons like that and the loudest psychopaths complaining about "miggers" and Trump are all jobless NEET losers. I think they gave up in life and are hopeless and subconsciously despise anyone that hasn't given up like them and has hope. It's really pathetic they think they have moral superiority for doing nothing when in our uniparty system doing nothing or doing something ends with the same result. I wish there was a 4chan without losers in it I really do and when I say losers I mean the real bottom of the barrel human garbage 30+ still lives with their parents jobless losers that exist to do nothing but try to make others miserable of which this site has a lot of
>>538515650Japan and any 1st world country has this issue it's not just unique to us. The japs even have a specific word for it but I don't remember it.
>>538515556>love that monopolysource? All I see on this site is constant support of piracy and torrenting.
>>538504954They're not guaranteed to get away with it either. The quality of Exilium's translation has gone down so even if the Chinese devs themselves aren't affected, what we get in the west is being affected.
>>538515821Torrents existing doesn't mean Steam doesn't have market dominance. Why do so many PC gamers have nigger tier IQs?
>>538515766>I wish there was a 4chan without losers in itI'm working on my PAID imageboard where YOU control and own your posts. Look out for it in the fall after Channer University ends in early October.
>>538515766Lmao get a load of this boomer. Kys
>>538505356People aren't allowed to spit it out because it isn't PC.
>>538507969>Nintendo makes children's gamesYou mean games with actual gameplay, a concept lost to Snoy's movie games long ago. And now the Switch 2 has the processing power to get even more third party support.Bow down, snoy.
>>538502539>>538502807doom has been dogshit for a while now, the last good one was doom 3.
>>538515882Piracy is a bigger "business" than all of Steam, GOG, EA, etc combined on PC?Why?Because PC gamers don't support any of those store fronts.
>>538515926>heh I am an old loser that relies on mommy and daddy to support meyou sure showed me
>>538516105Piracy is not a business. Steam has the largest market share no matter what kike tricks and semantics you play. You are another low IQ nigger that whines about Sony doing something that Steam has for decades. I accept your concession.
>>538516155Thats why I put "business" in quotesIt may not be a "business" but it is certainly eating up "market share" and it has a much larger "market share" than all of the storefronts combined because nobody wants to pay for video games they don't own!More people pirate games on PC than buy them, this is a simple fact.
>>538502106Looks like many aren't interested in their woke troon slop. If all games do is lecture about niggers and faggots instead of entertain people say fuck off.
The entitlement of modern game dev is wild.Games are the most frivolous of frivolous luxuries. Literally no one needs a video game. The entire industry could go the way of yo-yos and cabbage patch dolls at any moment. But they act like they’re selling water or medicine.
>>538516214I accepted your concession we are good brownoid
>>538516098>the last good one was doom 3.so we've finally hit the point where contrarian zoomers are going to pretend that Doom 3 was good? lol
>>538516279Good goy, put more shekels into your good goy account. Ill sit here and torrent games released 20 years ago because no good game has come out since then.
>>538516254These people all live in bubbles and I hope reality hits them like a ton of bricks. Remember that bitch from G4TV that bitched about men liking attractive woman? Completely vanished from the internet and public eye. I bet if you met her now she is probably a cashier and probably moderated her views after the world wide lashing she got.>>538516305see previous post nigger
Still going, Will be fine forever. Respect your elders.
