Was the introduction of the internet and social media to the masses the reason why video games went to shit? Is this why discord is now surveillance device for the government?
>>733630447yes
>>733630447no you dumb fuck retard people who saw the internet as a threat and spend every waking second of their life shitting all over it, trying to prove "how harmful it is" because of the evil they post on it and waging a war against the internet, the users who use it, the people who make it. wake the fuck up and realize what you have before it's stripped away from you and you're punished for even knowing it ever existed
>>733630447Giving a platform for all allowed for SJW's to take a hold of the liberal wests natural inclination for social justice and virtue signaling and put it on a pedestal with a megaphone for all to hear and witness allowing for the influx of censorship in the name of "inclusivity" that we see today.

People have been making bad videogames forever. You're just seeing more bad videogames because there's so many games getting released these days and you're always online. Meanwhile niche indie studios are releasing fun games that target a specific audience while still being cheap.
>>733630669Same thing. New people on the internet = new threats to worry about.Normal people are dumb as fuck and their lives so small. Literally, their whole deal is just to survive and pass the day joking. Everything is new to them, and the shit stains of the internet are gruesome to them.Recently the gen alpha "therian" fad showed up in the news as a big concern, far enough to have talks of legislation around it. Along with it there was spotlight to trash talk and defamation on social media, which also is getting legislated. Any minor inconvenience normal people encounter as they delve deep, they will cry about it and try to have it banned.Let's be honest, why would any of us think it would last? All technology is a consumer product, so is the internet, so is AI, so it will be cold fusion or whatever. As long as capitalism exist, and it will as long as a civilization of rule of law exist, and it will as long as humans yearn for peace, everything will be a commodity to be exploited.
>>733630447Bad games have always been a thing, but each big influx has definitely lead to the medium becoming more of a soapbox and overwhelming older communities.
>>733630669Based. Nobody's winning long term from this shit.
AND I'M LOOKING AT THE MAN IN THE MIRRORI'M ASKING HIM TO MAAAAKE A CHAAANGE
>>733630447yesvidja should have been for pasty white basement-dwelling giganerds forever and niggers, trannies and worst of all, women engaging with them has ruined them forever
>>733632697>As long as capitalism existWhy do we tolerate this shit? Clearly this system doesn't give a shit about well being of 99% and all about uplifting a few billionaire pedos. Average person is one emergency away from losing it all.>inb4 commieFuck off Mr. Smith. Capitalism vs Communism is the biggest burger lie told ever. Especially funny considering so many of so called commie countries, revolutions etc. are capitalist as fuck and/or funded by banking cartels in the first place. How many war machines did America donate to Soviet Russia again?
>>733630447> Is this why discord is now surveillance device for the government?Dunno stopped using it years ago and wheen i was tempted to re-use it they bought that digital ID thing in so i won't engage with it.Complying with this shit is a YOU problem. other stuff exists, or should exist, so don't be a drone and use the normie surveillance shit.
>>733630447>Was the introduction of the internet and social media to the masses the reason why video games went to shit?Not just vidya but everything. Things were much better when computers, vidya and the internet were considered loser/nerd territory.
>>733636598Yeah, pretty much this. It's not limited to games by any stretch. Every hobby I've been part of that doesn't gatekeep faggots until they learn and properly integrate themselves (literally lurking moar) into established norms has degraded drastically. It's sad things that would be shunned and labeled as "nerdy" as a legitimate derogatory term was when things were the most enjoyable.
>>733636837>(literally lurking moar)This site is also the prime example of what happens when a horde of undesirables gets access and doesn't even pretend they want to integrate.
>>733635595Sp what's your solution? don't say any communist propaganda
>>733636984Kill Mr. Smith and let truth speak for itself. System relies on Mr. Smith programmed in you to survive. Be brave.
>>733630826>call of duty 2But it was a great game
>>733630447>Was the introduction of the internet and social media to the masses the reason why video games went to shit?Just a part of it.Another major piece was the spawn of Casual Gaming... as in Nintendo Wii appealing to literal non-gamers. This then influenced the other studios to chase the trend, just to save money and effort during development.iPhone and Facebook then took things to the extreme with their mobile and Farmville slop
>>733637207I never saw the matrix.I don't watch films made by trannies
>>733630447>"introduction of internet....is why discord is now surveillance device"Man these brains are fried today
>>733637419they were not brainwashed trannies when they made the first one and the fact they get mad now you 'interpret it wrong' like with 'starship troopers' or 'they live' should convince you it's worth your time.Also, genuinly not watching shit before you were born is such good goy behavior. most of the actually good shit exists before the 2000's.
>>733638041I was born when the Matrix came out. I'm probably older than you.I did't want to see it when it was new, and now the creators are trannies I certainly don't care lol
>>733630447>Was the introduction of the internet and social media to the masses the reason why video games went to shit?its one of the causes>Is this why discord is now surveillance device for the government?it had to get this far because we tolerated it for too long
>>733637419>>733638089>muh trannieslil bro thinks he is baiting, how cute
>>733638181No, I'm just telling you why I didn't want to watch the movie.
>>733638089Sorry, zoomers usually say that shit so i assumed you were one.Still, i haven't watched it for ages, just recall it's fairly enjoyable and any of the 'deeper' meaning is basic shit and not particularly woke.I'm just an avid cinephile, so if you have a genre you like i'd be happy to recommend you something.
>>733638363I don't want any recommendations, thanks. I don't really like movies.
It was gonna happen regardless sooner or later. The freedom of the early days of the internet was simply because at the time the internet was not (((their))) top priority, but the end result was innevitable.
>massesit will never not be funny how every post made by incel losers itt is just to feel better about themselves while overnalyzing everything through the lens of their irrelevant life experienceyeah you are 160 IQ gorillionaire which is why you shitpost on the anime chud forum
>>733638415oh you more a book kind of guy? got it.
>>733638493Video Games > (some)TV > Books > Music > Movies
>>733638432lot of assumptions you make for an anonymous forum. Not all of us are Incels, not all of us are gorillinaires, but our 'irrelevant' life experiences are the only thing that matter to us all on an individual basis, as such, being concerned something you enjoy will be changed and broken and possibly useless to you will hurt. so if that's not a good enough answer for you, fuck off.
>>733638553what sort of TV do you like then?
>>733638634The best TV show without a doubt is Kenny VS Spenny. And because you're bound to ask, my favourite film is Barton Fink.No, I don't want to know what your favourites are, thanks.
>>733638593>Not all of us are Incels, not all of us are gorillinairesthen shut the hell up because aside from being an incel loser there's no way in which you stand out from the """""""""""""masses""""""""""""""""" that supposedly ruined everything>being concerned something you enjoy will be changed literally nobody cares, in your case it's all performative because again see first point
>>733638971>asserts baseless claim is true>againThis is why you lost
>>733638709god you sound like a massive faggot. Also, Barton Fink? Massive kike faggot then too.
>>733639239No one asked.
>>733630447Games were fine for 15 years after your average joe started using the internet. Then gaming blew up and huge greedy corpos did what they do best. Strip all the fun and joy out of products until they run entire franchises into the ground.
>>733639304I asked. "A movie about a playwrite" yeah you are a trannoid faggot neck yourself retard.
>>733639693>I askedQuote the exact post. You won't because you can't.
>>733639202>This is why you lostconsidering this thread was made by a seething incel I'm not sure about that
>>733630447Games became shit because they stopped being made by nerds for nerds. Now they are made by suits, frustrated movie directors and activists for investors, retards and other activists.
>>733637207Have you ever stopped to consider that what you reffer to as Mr. Smith is the end result of most common spoken truth?
>>733630447YesGames peaked at PS2
>>733640105If that were true it would be easy to demonstrate.Care to try?
>>733630447Early games were developed by small teams of smart, ambitious pioneers funded by risk-takers. Modern games still get those, but there's also industrial scale slop production funded by soulless market-chasers.
>>733630447Nah the freedom the internet allowed has collectively scared the shit out of both conservatives and liberals. Nearly every platform now is an extension of government surveillance and you can see that with how casually the government will subpoena your personal information if you're anti-ICE (anti-Israel) or some other taboo thought-crime.Games getting bad is just because crunch culture was never fixed and games have ballooned into absurd super projects where a single person working on the game has no earthly idea what his work will actually be used for.You can't have a creative vision that isn't diluted to hell when you have that many cooks in the kitchen. Couple that with crunch culture pushing out talent and the Collapse of the Tech Jobs that have left thousands of people out of work now and you have a very unhealthy AAA industry that is mostly grinding down because it can't keep up.
>>733640432What is "crunch culture"?You mean having a deadline? that's every job.
>>733640478>What is crunch cultureFive seconds of googling answers that question. I'm not here to spoonfeed a secondary.
>>733630447The problem is that people don't push back as hard as they should against absurd things. So they keep pushing us since there's no resistance.200~300 years ago, colonists were starting independance wars because of over-taxation and limited freedoms. And yet, today we're taxed several times more than any colonist ever was. And our freedoms are taken away year after year.Where are the wars, Anon?
MJ was a deranged pedo and if you disagree you watch anime and are trans
>>733640478Crunch isn't "having deadlines", brainwashed mutt. Crunch is the end-stretch compensation for delays caused by incompetent management.
>>733640546If you have no answer you can never win.>>733640684How is that different from a deadline?
>>733640659>deranged>pedoYou are saying that like these things are either exceptional or inherently bad.
>>733640745You can meet a deadline without crunching. Just like you can return a school essay on time without having to stay up overnight panic writing it 12 hours before deadline.
>>733640745Because with proper management you can expect to finish the job by the deadline without overtime every single day.
>>733638971triggered lmao
>>733640745If you can't understand the answer then there's no point >>733640684>How is that different from a deadline?See? You failed, nigger. Go back to grade school and come back when you have some basic comprehension.When you do, I'll care to reply again.
>>733640745NTA but what we call crunch culture really is a consequence of mismanagement. AAA development cycles today are taking up 5 years at minimum, that's more than enough time for literally hundreds of people to make a video game. By the time you're approaching release date, you should be polishing and correcting bugs on the game, not rushing to finish the content. The "crunch" shouldn't exist, it does because instituational knowledge and technical prowess have been lost.
>>733640684>delaysYou don't even need delaysYou could tell your leadership and everyone could know that you won't get it out by, say, June but your leadership insists on releasing it in AprilThere's no delay there, just a deadline.
>>733641210If you have to extend deadline for bad reason or the producers deny an extension for valid reason, then that is incompetent management, and wouldn't be allowed in a country that actually takes care of its citizens.
>>733641269>and wouldn't be allowed in a country that actually takes care of its citizensThat rules America, where most AAA games are made, out
>>733641269>country that actually takes care of its citizensHahahaha.America doesn't care about its citizens, America only cares about money.
>>733640802>>733640807So can you define "crunch culture" now?Thanks.
>>733641817It's inserting mandatory overtime as if its a given in calculations regarding schedules and deadlines.So instead of overtime being something you'd usually only do every once in a while to finish something because you were having a bad day or fucked up, you now have to do it every single day just to finish the tasks assigned to you.Basically, you are EXPECTED to work overtime to even finish shit. You CAN'T FINISH without overtime because the management is just that shit. That's where crunch comes from.
>>733641982>Basically, you are EXPECTED to work overtime to even finish shit. You CAN'T FINISH without overtime because the management is just that shit. That's where crunch comes from.So just don't do the overtime.Legally, they can't make you do overtime. Not in any state in the US, anyway.
>>733642167Nice.Now you're fired and blacklisted (because all companies are in cahoots) for not belonging or fitting in with the company's culture.Good luck trying to find another job if you are just someone average.Most people have to either tank it or get the boot because they are mediocre, they can't easily find jobs if they're fired.
>>733642313>Now you're firedFor what reason? Firing someone for not doing overtime is illegal, so that's a million dollar courtcase against your already behind shedule team now has to deal with.How is this a bad thing?
>>733642381Just google shit. Look at NEWS. I'm not entitled to spoonfeed you to clarify stuff.
>>733642721I asked you a question.Why are you dodging it?>g-g-google itThat means you have no answer, and are conceding.
>>733642943You are fired after the project is finished.Now fuck off.
>>733643013FOR.WHAT.REASON?Answer the question retard.
