Why do modern devs treat accessibility as the ultimate goal of games?
Why do modern /v/ posters treat twitter posts as the ultimate goal of discussion?
>>732342547>as many people as possible, including women this makes it sound like he views women as total retards
Didn't he get a lot of shit for implying women were too stupid for complex games?
> Including womenDid he imply he made the game easier and dumbed down... for women?Are women so stupid reading stats will hurt them? Are women so stupid they can't have pants, chest, boots, etc. separately and all armor must come in a bundle?
>>732342692is he wrong?
>>732342547>Tweet is allegedly from 2017>But incidentally it was quoted two days ago by some twittard using meme arrows You people are truly NPCsIs it even a real tweet?
>>732342547good of him to admit women need all the help they can get
>>732342692He's not wrong about like, 3/4 of them.
>GRRRRRR I HATE TWITTER!>BUT I KNOW EVERY TWITTERER AND WHO REPOSTED OP'S PIC
>>732342547They think games being piss easy means more exposure and sales when in reality that dream crashes upon the shores of Twitch
>>732342547and you retards will still buy the slop. Now STFU and get back out there and consoom like the good slaves you are
>>732342791If you ever played Fire Emblem Fates you'll remember that there were two stat screen views you could toggle between. One with your real stats and one other completely retarded view that just added all your stats together into one number that means less than nothing.That second screen was made after feedback from female players because they didn't want to look at that many numbers.
>>732342921It was the only result on google since, you know, the tweet in the screencap doesn't exist. I also didn't say I hate twitter. I said you're an NPC because you clearly have no original thoughts but react purely to external stimulus.
>>732342547>as many people as possible, including women
>>732342692Women are equals, anon. That's why we need to dumb down everything to make it accessible to them. Don't be a bigot
>Misogynist dumbs down his game for cynical capitalist reason>This is the fault of women!Man even if it's a real tweet your anger is entirely misdirected due to sexism
>>732342953yep, it is laughable and you know it is some retarded suit at the top that pushes this shit.>make generic slop in the hope of appealing and effectively selling to everyone>you made a game for no one in particular and as a result they don't buy it.have they never heard the saying about the hunter and two rabbits?
>>732342547Because copies sold is the only relevant metric.
>>732342990the last five years have proven this philosophy deeply flawed
>>732342692kek
>>732343194This. Women in real life are just as competent and smart as men.
>>732342692yeah that's pretty funny how he says it as to be a paragon of inclusivitiy, and it actually makes women look fucking dumb
>>732342547can you provide the internet archive link to this tweet op?
>>732342547The best part about this is that he was never a "dev", he was a PR goon.
>>732342692Blacks, women and gays too retarded empathise with someone who isn't like them and won't play games unless they see themselves on the screen. White men are more evolved and are beyond such concerns.
>>732343734Man I wish there were any white men on /v/
>>732342547Because the finance people see "8 billion pepole in the world, how do we make them all consume our slop?" and instead of answering "multiple products catering to multiple audiences" it gets streamlined to "lowest common denominator" leading to a product that pleases none but offends only few (chuds, who know better).
Still no evidence that it's a real tweet btw
>>732342547Why is it so fashionable for Western devs to shit talk their community nowadays? I'm definitely not saying that every piece of advice should be taken into account, because people are retarded.But to sit there and say "Fuck you, they're my toys I'm taking them and going home" all to make the most milquetoqst, lowest common demoninator, pandering statement.All this ego, and not even making a good game in 15 fuckin' years.
Accessibility is a good thing, the issue is when it’s used to water down what makes a game interesting
>>732344334It's fashionable for everyone to shittalk everyone in every context>respectful discussion based on mutual effort to understand each other?cringe>tone deaf smugposting trying to cause controversy and offend as many people as possiblebased
>>732342547why dont lefties ever care about financial accessibility? there are lots of poor people that cant afford video games. where is their accessibility?
>>732343734> gays> white menUh anon, lots of gays are white men.Did you mean straight men? Because straight men have a massive meltdown the second they see an ugly fictional woman in a videogame.
>>732342547I love how that implies women are lesser beings that need shit dumbed down to partake in
>>732342547>No evidence that this tweet ever existed>No evidence that this screencap even existed on the internet until three days ago>Abnormal capitalisation is inconsistent with how Pete Hines wrote every other tweet of his>English is oddly and uncharacteristically unidiomatic ("universe retcons", "and that's what makes sense")>Superficially inclusive language but implies a sexist "truth" (because progressives are dumb and the REAL sexists)It's fake, dears. This sort of thing is what made /v/ what it is today.
>>732342547>accessibleThat just means as hateful as possible toward white people. Period. Tired of this fake leftist bullshit that you have to go scorched Earth and kill white men in order to pander to women and niggers. It’s hateful politics, not “accessibility” I fucking hate creepy corpo kikespeak (lies).
>>732344641Accessibility should be shit like colourblind options or rebindable controls because someone doesn't have fingers.Instead they are pushing that games should be "accessible" in a "easy to get into" sense because they want the broadest possible audience, but conflating those things just makes it sound like women or browns are disabled.
>>732342547It's simpleDevs who care about accessibility to the most people possible care about one single thingMoney. Getting more sales is their chief and only concern.They're not interested in making a good game that's fun and has complex mechanics and that makes you think critically. They just want more people to buy their slop and they dont give a fuck if the vast majority never play past the first few hours. They're in the money making buisness, not the game making buisness
>>732345964Damn, you don't even need a fake tweet to read things that no one actually said, you'll just hallucinate it
>>732346168Leap off a cliff you creepy diddler. Male children aren’t women.
>>732346227Peak schizoThis entire website is objectively mentally ill and it's black propaganda like the OPs that did it
>>732342692Every equity virtue signalling retard does this.Every time they say that so-and-so group needs special treatment, they're unconsciously implying that they think of that group as inferior.
>>732346769It was obviously very conscious in this case considering it's a fake intended to lead you to this exact conclusionWhy would they need to do that if "every equity virtue signalling retard does this" I wonder
>>732343194>misogyny is the fault of womenYes.
>>732342547More accessible = more retards to sell for.In the end it just ruins games but devs don't care since the mentally deficient amputee with one arm and no eyes.
>>732345964Leftoids co-opt the language to make it a bigger issue or make it harder to argue against. Why everything is a "human right" now. But appropriating the language of accessibility just makes them sounds like being brown is a disability.
>>732347838That's actually a tell that it's fake, Anon
>>732343734>White men are too retarded to empathize with someone who isn't like them and won't play games unless they see themselves on the screen.Funny how it works both ways. Also I fixed your splelling erorrs you ESL faggot.
>>732342547>why are companies seeking broader appealWhy do we have to have this conversation over and over?Is there anyone here that doesnt understand yet? Newfags? Twitter tourists?Who are these threads for?Twitter niggers should be banned for life
>>732342692We'll accessible to everyone: cripples, women, retards, blacks, you name it
>>732350537>>732350624Since someone bumped the disinfo thread, I'll repeat: it's a fake tweet
>>732350364Literally not the case, plenty of white guys make female characters unprompted, as well as orcs and other weird races.Regardless, self-insertion is mental illness no matter who's doing it, you should be able to understand a character without having to pretend to be them, which is why inclusion in fantasy is a fool's errand and fundamentally detrimental.
