Why is attacking your audience so prevalent in video games now?
>>
americans
>>
>>693338827
you'll have to be more specific than that
>>
>>693338780
Because gamers accepted lootboxes, MTX, live service games, and many other injust practices just fine. Gamers are worse than cattle.
>>
>>693338995
I didn't accept that shit. Normies did. I didn't buy Oblivion because of the horse armor.
>>
Big industry, they can afford to attack their audience right now.
>>
>>693339059
Normalfags still play video games, and they voted with their wallet.

Tell that to the Concord devs.

Because the industry has been infiltrated by retarded ideologues that see the medium as nothing more than a tool to spread their agenda. The main obstacle in their way of successfully turning the industry into clown level shit like Hollyweird are gamers. This in turn has led them to despising gamers since we can’t be crybullied into letting them just push their bullshit so they do everything to spite us.
>>
>>693338780
why is trolling so prevalent on /v/?
because people here are subhuman freaks and it's hard not to bully them
>>
>>693338780
Do you mean actual antagonism of the player or like seeing a black person in a screenshot?
>>
>>693338780
Investors, if your Investor believes you were a victim of a nefarious hate campaign he is less likely to pull out than realising the lack of success was due to utter incompetence.
>>
How about you stop criticizing games and just fucking buy them and play them and they would attack you.
You fucking deserve it for thinking you have the right to criticize games.
>>
>>693338780
It's all media and not just games.

And it's because we're balls deep in the "all media totally has secret messages" illiterate era where some retards decided there was super hidden meaning to every little thing in media and self important fartsniffers who wanted to feel important let their ego be fluffed by the meaningless shit they put in their books/shows/etc.
>>
>>693340163
By that logic you don't have the right to praise a game you haven't played either.

Penny Arcade is unironic cancer for mocking the outrage surrending the lack of dedicated servers in Modern Warfare 2.

>As to why they want to create their own matchmaking network in the first place, the ability to make money selling maps is floated as a reason, and it makes a lot of sense - presumably they would rather make a million dollars than zero. A centralized defense against piracy is also suggested, and things tend to go downhill quick after this. It is not a mischaracterization to say that conversations with the hardcore PC community about software theft follow these tenets:
>>There is no piracy.
>>To the extent that piracy exists, which it doesn’t, it’s your fault.
>>If you try to protect your game, we’ll steal it as a matter of principle.
>It’s like, who wouldn’t want to bend over backward in their service? You need to know it, because nobody else is going to tell you: you guys sound like Goddamned subway vagrants. Of course when you speak exclusively to each other, it all sounds so reasonable. It’ll be reasonable when you all board the bus, and the songs you sing en route to excoriate your enemies will be forceful, but within reason; and when you douse yourself with gasoline and immolate yourself in front of the offices of Infinity Ward, one assumes this will be reasonable also.

>>
>>693338780
some devs are too focused on making games for themselves. however putting a nb or trans character in a game doesn't automatically make it bad like /v/ says
>>
It's not, you just have a victim complex.
>>
i cant remember the last time i played a game that did this
>>
What's up with all of the bot replies? They're not even remotely on topic.
>>
>>693339096
No, they thought they could when they started developing these games 7 years ago, and it's too late now so they need to stay the course. They probably figured out it was never going to fly 4 years into development, and they would prefer a bad failure they can list as a tax loss than just scrapping the game entirely, as making a poor business decision and wasting four years isn't deductible, but completing a game and nobody buying it is.
>>
>>693341118
So ad hominem then? Because ultimately you’re not arguing the logic.

You have no argument for how he’s wrong and just attacked him instead. Thats is a logical fallacy known as ad hominem. If you can’t see the coherence in that then you have a severe lack of reading comprehension.

You don't play games anymore
The games play you
>>
>>693338780
Because devs found out retards will still buy utter pieces of shit specifically made to berate and insult them, on top of giving it massive public attention by talking about it nonstop for weeks on end. We live in an era where outrage sells more than positive attention.

What makes you think that "white nationalist neo-nazis" are the target audience for every single video game on the market?
>>
>>693338780
because (((they))) want to ruin vidya like (((they))) ruined movies and comics, eliminating and excluding anyone who's not consumerist goycattle.
basically the industry is like a greedy racehorse that wants to eat all day and get trophies without racing or exercising.

I haven't bought a video game license in 8 years.
99% of games hold no value for me other than mocking them and reassuring my conviction that modern games are complete dogshit.
The other 1% I pirate, because the hobby as a whole is so poisoned that I'm too demoralized to want to invest money into it any more.
>>
>>693338780
because its cheaper & easier to just pay marketing to gaslight people on social media into liking a shit game, than it is to just actually make a good game.
remember the industry is 90% staffed with normie corporate retards now.
>>

there's been nothing good since Deep Rock Galactic and that came out almost 7 years ago

>Why is attacking your audience so prevalent in video games now?
Because the people making them have spite instead of passion.

Retarded self centered californian devs thinking anyone who doesnt agree with them must be a nazi and thus a socially acceptable target.
They honestly believe their game will survive on good faith from other people like them.

>voting with your wallet is a meme
it worked against concord
>>
>>693338780
Because some developers had to justify themselves in the 90s/00s. Nu-devs saw that and thought they could jump ahead of the attacks and blatantly kick people in the balls before anyone had the chance to criticise them. It's victim mentally.

Give me 8 examples of games that did this.
Only two that to mind are that Saints Row reboot that immediately died and killed the studio along with it, and there's also DmC which also failed and was immediately memory holed as soon as DMCV came out.

Otherwise I can't think of

Because hiring people who hate the game to make the game (especially for sequels) is the popular thing to do.

Games used to be based just 20 years ago.

>>693350981
But that was specifically attacking people that weren't their audience.
Problem was that the game's audience was only 0.001% of people that play vidya.
