You should have just bought the game. YOU did this.
>You should have just bought the game. No, I think more piracy to bring the collapse is justified.
Everything is dying. If you look on the layoffs subreddit (reddit I know) there's so many postings of companies laying off thousands of workers. the us economy is dead. everyone is using credit or klarna to buy groceries its over
>>731890427where is xcom 3
>>731890427>YOU did this.
>>731890630They should just learn to mine.
Didn't companies spend years saying that those games weren't for me?
I... I DID NOTHING AND LE WON???????????????????
>>731890427How do I just consoom when I'm laid off too?
>>731890427Only a third? Shame it's not higher, but it's a start.
>>731892046>>731890630Imagine there was a puzzle in front of youThis puzzle can easily be solved automatically by AI robotsBut if you don't solve the puzzle, the owners won't give you tokens, and you need these tokens to legally exist and trade for food to other ownersDo you:a) Fight against the AI robots, demanding you do the pointless puzzle manuallyb) Fight against the capitalist system requiring you to gain tokens from the owners or else your existence is illegal and you can't get housing/food
>>731890427Let's aim for two thirds this year
>>731892789You can't say the c word here bro it makes people ignore literally everything else you wrote as their brains shut down and their programming kicks in and they call you a commie and dismiss everything you said without a second thought
>>731890427It's almost like telling me every game isn't for me and I'm not the target audience didn't turn out so well. I think I'll stick to my Chinese and Japanese games as the western gaming industry isn't for me
>>731890427They should have made games that I want to buy instead of making games for Karen and Larry.
>>731892789>capitalist systemEvery single non-capitalist system ever implemented in the word also required people to work in order to keep existing in that system.
>>73189340540% of food is thrown out in the USThere is already enough housing, but we could easily mass build commie blocksThere is literally nothing stopping us from feeding/housing 30 billion people for free ($0 to them) other than we choose not toIt's not even unrealistic or hard, the fact that people are paying $2000+/m to legally physically exist somewhere is infinitely worse than medieval feudalism
>>731893717>other than we choose not toLand of the free, nigger. FREE.As in free to let you starve.
>>731890427Shouldn't have fucked with us.
>>731890427>The AAA gaming industry is dyingNot my problem
why are they using a switch 2 for this article when nintendo has ~5000 employees and microsoft's laid off triple that number in 2025 alone?
>>731890427as long as I am not the target audience, I'll do it again
>>731890609First post, based post.
>US video game workersI only play japanese games
>>731892789I pick c: expatriate to a more livable country because I realize that cold war propaganda has completely mindfucked my countrymen into believing that they should give all their money to billionaires because surely they will also become billionaires someday and anyway corporations are people too...
>>731890427Those numbers sound like bullshit, so I'm not going to believe them. Not "maybe they counted it in a weird way". Just don't believe 'em.
>>731890427how many of those people were laid off by microsoft alone?
I'm totally fine with this.All western entertainment should collapse so that it can be rebuilt from the ground up to be less retarded.
Its funny shut in losers think they personally had anything to do with this when it was done as a long term controlled demolition of the economy by the elites
>>731897104hope it rebuilds fast, i really hate asian gachapon slop
>>731897173They wanted me to spend my collapsing monopoly money on $120 ultimate edition of Gay Mulatto Adventure.But I didn't.What's your political analysis of that one you faggot?
>another game where every woman is ugly and black/brown with no tits, there's fags everywhere and all the men are weird mutt things, the gameplay is boring bullshit, there's microtransactions everywhere and the writing is millennial trash >"Yeah I don't like this, don't do this".>FUCK YOU CHUD FUCK YOUUUUU>"ok, not buying"This happened like eighty thousand times over and over, what did they expect? Put some fucking tits and strong white men in your games and western devs need to learn how to make fun combat, why are a bunch of random chinks/gooks/japs able to make more fun combat on their first try then "veteran" devs in the west?
>>731893717because SOMEONE has to work to make, package, prepare, and ship that food and NO ONE wants to do it for free. The people that work should get more than the people that don't, and no one wants to work if there are leech faggots who don't help out. I would rather the poor die off than to feed them for free from my scraps.>>731890630C) make your own food if you don't want to barter tokens to others for food, faggot.
>>731897104Everything's already set for a rebuild with indies and mid-size studios. The industries will never be allowed to get this big ever again, and that's a good thing.>>731897173Like I give a shit, as an American, we need this. This is a correction that puts everyone back on the same page. Our entertainment was never meant to become this big, it needs to collapse and shrink. No more products made for the global world, only products made for the nation, if other nations don't like it, well so be it.
>>731892789Those puzzles are valuable tasks for other members of society.>But my right to a house and food!Your positive rights are just "those guys solved puzzles are mine, because they are ok?". It will be something different if food and houses suddenly appear out of thin air anon, but they don't [sad news]. Do you think we as a society should reward (aka as give our time and effort) people for spending time doing things that nobody values?
>>731890427so why use a picture of a switch controller? nintendo's like the only company who isn't doing layoffs.
I'd love to, but between price hikes and stagnant wages my purchasing power has devolved into nothing. I've had to start resorting to actual financial scrutiny over myself with savings pots just to keep myself in check.
>>731897173I've seen enough, we need to import 50 million indians
>>731891283Lmao
>>731892789Capitalism wasn't invented to withold food and housing from you.Without capitalism, you would simply need to obtain these things some way other than working for a wage.
>>731897173I wish.Unfortunately Europe is too cucked to abandon the US, and China has too many dollars to be that eager to abandon it.
>>731890427shouldve made games for me and not faggots and niggers.
>>731890609Fpbp
>>731900162>Without capitalism, you would simply need to obtain these things some way other than working for a wage.You literally, by law, can't opt-out of capitalismYou can't just "go live in the woods"All land is owned, anywhere you go is trespassing, even if you owned the plot of land you couldn't just build your own house, that's illegal tooHunting is illegal, fishing is illegal, farming on some random spot of land is illegalEven selling things on the street is illegalIt seems to me, the only option left, if you didn't simply already start with money, is to work an approved job by the people who own you (the state and capitalists), to earn their currency, or else your existence is illegalThis meets the factual definition of slavery
Capitalists unironically think this owns the commiesIf you opened up prison cells for $50/m rent, but you could obviously leave just like a regular apartment, they would instantly all be rented out
>>731901170I already live in a studio like that for $500/month + bills in Europe though.
>>731890427>Switch 2 Image>Nintendo are the only ones not laying off FTEsHmmmm...
>>731890427Okay. They deserved it. Hope the entire "industry" is destroyed.
>>731890427Yeah but Nintendo are not laying off jeets and troons en-masse like Microshaft or Snoyny
>>731890427all I know is that the macho gaming era was a golden age, with very few layoffs. prove me wrong
>>731890630Large companies, especially the ones apart of FAANG do yearly layoffs for the bottom x% of their employees and constantly search for ones to replace thatAlso the truly low value jobs get replaced by Indians assisted by AI systems
>>731897852>This is a correction that puts everyone on the same pagelol
>>731897173Are these guys legit? That doesn't look like a real phone number
>>731901079yet ted kaczynski did all of that
>>731897568And how am I supposed to cook my own food without doing grocery shopping, retard?
>>731902770I've wondered that about 4chan for a long time.How come if you post something from BBC or CNN or Reuters or AP everyone (rightfully) shits on you, but if you post some absolute schizo babble from some third world site nobody has ever heard of, everyone discusses it as if it was obvious and irrefutable truth?
>>731902918What the fuck is that supposed to look like?
>>731902387Where do you work? Amazon’s layoffs yesterday were 100% random. Some teams lost all senior devs but kept the junior devs. Some teams lost junior devs but kept seniors. They just rolled the dice. Managers were let go randomly as well.
>>731902918>third worlder schizos only listen to schizo babble from third world fake sourcestruly a mystery
>>731903579"100% random" as in decided by their AI.
>>731902770wtf I just called it and it's real
>>731890427They were replaced by AI. One single competent senior dev can replace three average ones with Claude.
>>731901079That has nothing to do with capitalism though. Earth is an open air prison, if you don't have enough violence, you can't have nor defend anything. The current systems throughout the world is simply a more efficient slavery system than Egypt or rome. >Let them decide their jobs, make them think they are freePay your taxes
delayed repercussions of becoming lame and gay
>>731897173So is this accurate or a bad faith post of a lie or half-truth intended to psyche some Americans into anxiety? I know Gold and Silver are jumping, but the intelligence of our allies should also be aware the whole reason the US is being gutted is so that the same forces can then rip them apart afterward without us in the way.
>>731893256Because it isn't "capitalism". That's made up shorthand for something you can't escape from, which is that your existence depends on some form of quid pro quo. No one is willing to support you unconditionally and indefinitely except maybe your parents. It isn't the evil capitalists who did this. It's people, your neighbours, friends. They don't want to support you unless you can give something back. The issue is that we have an awful lot of people who have no useful skills because our education system taught them the wrong things, and we have even more people with no skills in an economy that increasingly has no use for them in the slightest
>>731905080>No one is willing to support you unconditionallyWhy do people keep saying this strawmanNo one said "support me", they said "it's illegal for me to support myself and you are forcing me to work for capitalists"
>>731890427>Nintendo had no lay offs>use switch 2 image
>>731890427AI does it bettert. former Voice Actor
>>731890427There's no time to play games when the economy is rapidly collapsing.>>731893717An inefficient government and inefficient corporate resource management isn't a sign that "le capitalism bad", it's a sign of incompetence and corruption.>>731900239It's already happening. The global dollar reserves have been slowly declining in the past 20 years. Banks and countries really are importing gold, just look at how much the price has skyrocketed as a result. EU is in the process of making their own VISA/MasterCard alternative and de-dollarize. China, Russia, India and Brazil are working on their own unified banking system separate from US/EU. China is already mass producing solar panels and nuclear reactors in order to completely remove their reliance to oil, which is one of the biggest leverages the US has over China.
>>731905294>it's illegal for me to support myself It isn't, and making excuses isn't going to help you. If you can't offer anything to anyone, that's a you problem.
>>731890427Nope, this is just normalisation99% of those layoffs were post Covid over hiring and most of those were not developers, just people that like to call themselves that with stolen valour
>>731902775He did for a while until he found out he can't keep doing it. He started bombing people because he realized he couldn't keep up the lifestyle.>It's kind of rolling country, not flat, and when you get to the edge of it you find these ravines that cut very steeply in to cliff-like drop-offs and there was even a waterfall there. It was about a two days' hike from my cabin. That was the best spot until the summer of 1983. That summer there were too many people around my cabin so I decided I needed some peace. I went back to the plateau and when I got there I found they had put a road right through the middle of it ... You just can't imagine how upset I was. It was from that point on I decided that, rather than trying to acquire further wilderness skills, I would work on getting back at the system. Revenge.

>>731890427Maybe there are too many games
OOOHHHMMMMMMMMMMMMMM
>>731906178I maintain that Steam should ask a fee of $10,000 to put a game on their store.

>>731906107>they just put a woman in chargeAnon, Satoru Shibata is a man.
>>731904906The average life of the longest-lasting civilizations in human history is 250 years. The USA is about to celebrate its 250th birthday.The jews have used up all the value in the USA, sucked every last penny out, and they will control China next. It's already in motion and has been for years. Our dollar is already worthless, 99% debt-based imaginary money, and we're just continuing on by virtue of everyone pretending it's not. The moment the master hand that controls the public perception of the economy says it's over and the public believes it, it will crash overnight into weimar germany levels of inflation and the jews will be safely out of the country with their international assets, leaving us holding the bag. But we won't have a based figure like Hitler to build us up again, because the internet exists now, and they can continue to manipulate the flow of information from China to ensure that Americans remain too retarded to ever rebuild. The country will collapse into a bunch of nigger warlords controlling points of interest, and the dwindling number of whites will be traitors to each other because they're so brainwashed against racism they will never act in their own best interest. A handful of super competent people will think they can just keep to themselves and homestead in this fresh hell, but the moment the niggers get word they've got anything of value, it will be razed within 24 hours.
>>731890427I have a questionIf they fire everyone and replace jobs with AI slop who will pay for their shit?I feel like this is a part of the equation the billionaires don't think about because they live in guarded Mansions.Hell, do they think their private army won't eat them alive when everything collapses? Or do they plan to put exploding collars on them like fonv dead money that blows off when they enter the premeter kek
>>731907625Those workers aren't being replaced by AI.
>>731902918this is obviously fake cuz the scale is all over the place but boiii tuff
>>731907625>If they fire everyone and replace jobs with AI slop who will pay for their shit?The 10%.If you haven't noticed, spending by the rich is going up, everyone else's spending is going down. It's keeping the economy afloat.When the cycle goes through to make the bottom 9% poor, then they focus on the 1%.
>>731902918Those people look big enough to stand up next to those mountains and chop them down with the side of their hand.

>>731908210Everything he said is correct.
>>731908296Prove that those are real people making real testimonies. Prove that the number being laid off is indicative of a wider trend in the US economy and not isolated. Prove that everyone is buying groceries on credit.
>>731890427Why use Switch 2 in the image when Nintendo hasn't fired anyone?
>>731908435Stop asking questions and swallow the sensationalism. Get angry. Get engaged. Form the desired opinion.
>>731890427Layoffs happen regardless of whether or not the games are successful, these industries are almost entirely non-productive and it's only going to get worse as they consolidate into larger companies and assets are sold off to private equity. Massive publishers would collapse under a normal system.>>731890609Piracy has no negative impact on sales in the digital era where there is no immeasurably massive boost to the convenience of piracy when compared to buying things in the store. >>731892789The issue isn't capitalism, it's forced rentoid behavior being incentivized by the government and government licensing schemes like "Intellectual Property". Most of these issues collapse without the government backing them up, and the government backs them up due to the need to appease their geriatric voters and conflict of interest.It's also not like AI can actually "solve" the puzzle, its output is practically worthless for a professional production, its only purpose is to be used for grifting and to increase the bargaining position of those who want to claim that AI can replace you.
>>731892789there is no economic system that will voluntarily opt to support a vast swarm of unemployed parasites off the backs of a minority of necessary workers on a finite worldevery single system will make the logical choice to cull the swarm, from anarcho-capitalism to barracks communism
>>731908726You are looking at the wrong swarm.State capitalism with a democratic state and a reverse pyramid age-distribution will absolutely voluntarily support a vast swarm of unemployed parasites in the form of very early pensioners. It will also take passive measures to keep itself in place by making it easier for geriatric pensioners to take part in the system than for anyone younger to do the same. It's obviously not a sustainable system, but as long as the state has the necessary trust to acquire more debt (will be paid back sometime next don'tworryaboutit), this does not result in cascading failure.
>>731909412Pensioners have spent a lifetime paying taxes. The idea is they've already paid for the pension they receive.>It's obviously not a sustainable system, but-There is no "but".
>>731893717You're going to have to lower safety standards if you want people eating some of that thrown out food. I sold apples and salads and nobody wanted the wrinkly apple even though it was still perfectly good on the inside. Nobody wanted the lettuce that expired the next day either. Stores can't sell/give it away because of liability causing them to get sued when some guy gets sick after eating rotten carrots or whatever the fuck.
>>731909489>Spent a lifetime paying taxesAnd yet life expectancy increased and age of retirement is only catching up now that it won't impact the boomers who are making the population distribution so lopsided.Meanwhile the younger generations are paying more taxes to support them while their quality of life is being impinged in order to keep the security of those pensions intact.
>>731908726If we want to mitigate mass unemployment, there's one simple yet fiendishly difficult option. That is, require companies to share significant percentage of their profits to workers (similar to CEO bonuses). Now if company makes extra 10 000 000 a year from automating away half of its workforce, the remaining workers have more money to spend. Increased spending results in increased need for producing consumer goods and services, compensating job loss. We'll be creating even more pronounced class society of "elites, upper class, lower class" than today, but the option is much simpler than trying to balance combination of "we have few normal workers, tons of handout-subsisting poors and our economic model cannot take the combined hit of collapsing consumption and mass unrest"
>>731910768You're just describing taxes and major companies go thousands of miles out of their way to not pay those while offloading the necessary burden on the lower classes.
>>731890427I will never pay 70 for a game. when they do that I just wait for a huge sale. I'll pay 60 if it looks really good though
Ubishit going bankrupt is probably responsible for the majority of those layoffsall they had to do was make decent games. instead they spent the last 15 years puking out asscreed rehashes over and over again which somehow requires 40000 devs to make.
>>731907625>If they fire everyone and replace jobs with AI slop who will pay for their shit?The actual people (upper 10-20%). Everyone else is fucked. If you didn't have good parents to leave you a few rental properties you're done.

>>731897173I'm old as shit yet Peter Schiff and his father (can't remember his name) have been talking about the dollar collapse and gold's ascension since before I was born. Other than an abstract point about the ephemeral nature of fiat currency, there's nothing worth considering. The dollar is doing just great against literally every other world currency. They are *all* falling in unison vs. gold, but not because of the differences between the $ or £ or € or JPY, but because of that all those currencies have in common. And the "gain" in gold is just a conservartion of purchasing power, not actual wealth creation.
