It's interesting, there's an entire generation of people that only plays Roblox and Fortnite and they get mad when they're told most games cost money. But because it's all the upcoming market is now you're likely just going to see games develop as "experiences" within a big third space social media platform. No one will buy a 30 hour single player experience for $70 in 2035. It will be as outdated of a concept as someone using a typewriter today.
>>735146774Robloxfags are delusional, all of their games are repetitive shit built on toxic dynamics and sucking their money out using gamepasses
Big>The switch will fail because kids play mobile games nowenergy
>>735147007>He says, knowing that the most played game on it is still Fortnite
>roblox too now that it makes considerable money>nowits been slop since 2008.
>>735146774I really do hate these entitled fucking zoomers, they seem to crop up all over the place now. They basically poison the well for feedback in a game's community with their absolutely insane entitled bullshit.
>>735146774Really just one more picture for the “troons ALWAYS have tranime profile images” folder.
>There's an entire subsection of Roblox for their equivalent of M rated gamesName a FOTM M rated game and there's a Roblox version.
>>735146774maybe half of the world shouldn't be playing videogames and focus on their slave jobs then
Traditional AAA single player games are fucked as that part of the industry is kept alive purely from people around the ages of 35-50. The young people do not give a fuck about those sorts of games and didn’t grow up playing them like we did on the snes/ps1/ps2 and so on.
>>735146774>robloxfags talking about corposlop
>>735146774Uh oh steamie piggies are not going to like this one.
>>735146774What your describing already exists you dumbass. Its what 90% of mobile games are
>>735147571Did we? I grew up playing whatever i could dig out of the clearance bin of ps1 and gameboy games.I ont think i got a new game until I had a job for myself in college.
>>735147764its not steam specifically. its that young people only play shit slop games inside roblox and forfight and wont play normal traditional single player games like Resident Evil and Zelda and Final Fantasy and Metal Gear and whatnot. They are not interested in the old school types of games so that part of the industry will die in the next decade.
>>735146774>No one will buy a 30 hour single player experience for $70 in 2035.Brother I wouldn't buy that for $70 now.I wouldn't pay $70 for fucking any digital good.>BUT ITS NEW THING, YOU HAVE TOnoI'll throw 10 bux at some autistic indie number go up game instead.
>>735148014What age are you? I'm in my late 30s and I grew up playing stuff like Zelda and Metal Gear Solid and Tomb Raider and Final Fantasy and Resident Evil and so on. Traditional big single player games. This is not an experience young peo0le have now as they just play random online free games.
>>735146774That's incredibly dumb, 'grats
>>73514819031, I think i mostly played links awakening and oracle of seasons on gameboy. Sonic 2 on a sega genesis i bought off my cousin. The psone harry potter game. Bugs life, on both gameboy and psone. Although now that i think about it. I did play a lot of flash games. Rarely did one cone up with progression that made me want to finish it. I think i finished most of the nitrome library at one point.
>>735146774cool, let it diejust means that we'll end up with more indies from passionate people
>>735148014yeah we did it just sounds like your parents didnt like to buy you shit
wish i could see the country of everyone complaining about $20 games
>>735146774Roblox has soul on god 6-7 blood.
>>735148059Young people have no money anon. The gaming ibdustry is kept afloat by working manchilds and autists on neetbux. The only revenue coming from kids is whatever money their parents are willing to spend, which is why inofensive games like pokemon and mario sell so much since parents know they are safe games that kids like.
>>735149321then maybe they should get jobs
>>735149321They can pirate.
>>735148704Actually no, once this talent is gone from video games it never comes back because video games are actually not that good for making money as an individual. They're just going to go to AI. People cheering on layoffs are going to wonder where all of the games are five years from now.
>>735147498Rule of thumb. Not all anime fans are troons but all troons are anime fans.
>>735149321those are children
>>735146774I'll never understand these bootlicking thirdiesMost companies, if not ALL, would not give a shit if your country can't play their game, so why would you give a shit about giving them money? Even if they manage to get a decent computer they still will be so scared of piracy
>>735147431They must be the first generation to ever be called entitled by members of a previous generation>>735147498Having that folder is arguably weirder than having an anime profile picture.
>>735146774Why do all of these bait posters never actually post the ratio of these tweets at the very least? It could very well just be shit nobody actually agrees with
>>735149578>get a job>18-25 yo with 8 years previous experience minimum>you're first on the chopping block when AI solutions corp claims to have developed a tool that does your job for cheaper than sub-minwage (it's shit).
back in my days if I wanted to play a pc game for free I had to pirate it, which I often did, but nowadays you can easily get so many of free game legally or for next to nothing.Steam has thousands of ftp games, epic has been giving away one or two games a week for years at this point, key sites have bundles where you can get games for $1 each, and many titles have been out for a while receive 90% discounts during holidays.Being a good boy poorfag gamer has never been easier
>>735150450Maybe the same reason they often don't show the date, this case excluded. Don't wanna give away how much more attention they're giving this random opinion than anyone else is.
>>735149321https://www.theregister.com/2026/03/17/ai_businesses_faking_it_reckoning_coming_codestrap/I wouldn't be so pessimistic, AI is unprofitable 95% of the time.
>>735149321I'd rather they play Mario or even Pokemon than talk to a Roblox groomer. Even games you don't like can be better than others.
>>735150561But I don't want to play 6 year old indie game on sale. I wanna play latest AAA game!
>>735146774When you count the fact that the majority of games are shit, has microtransactions, season passes, fomo, and steals your personal information, they're the ones that should pay us to play their games.
>>735147571I'm 38 and I think the only AAA game I've bought in the last three years has been Space Marine 2. Everything else has been indies because everything come out of the big publishers looks like the same garbage that's been pumped out over and over.
>>735149321Even when they have money they don't want to play a game like Metal Gear Solid, Anon
>>735151878all of the people based enough to instill good vidya taste in their children don't reproduce. i did but i have a daughter so i'm not going to get her into MGS
>>735147571Its weird cause the game industry still acts like most of its consumers are in high school. I dont care for f2p games, i just want a good game i can finish and then move on to the next one.
>>735149321>Young people have no money anon.Yeah and this has been the same since the 70s? Kids have always supported the gaming industry with their parents money.Only now the kids are choosing to spend it on retarded skins in f2p games
>>735147536thisif you're a thirdie shitskin you should have zero access to escapism
>>735149807Shut the fuck up industry shill.Games were made by nerds before you fags poisoned the well. That is its natural resting position and it will go right back to that after you stop fucking us.
>>735146774>If it's not free it's corpo slopAs a pirate, this is retarded.
>>735149578Ok, where?
>>735146774>Play Roblox with my son>do something >it asks for robux>open some menu >it asks for robux>die>it asks for robuxHow do the A/Z's play this crap
>>735149321they're just gonna buy vbucks and robux when they start making money
>>735146774>And now the corposlop has been affecting robloxHas been since like, 2014.
>>735152715Nah, it'll go to zoomers with Italian Brainrot memes in Roblox
>>735146774>FortniteIsn't like ever skin paid or something
>>735146774>in my country kids video games were 20 dollars 15 years ago, you could easily buy a new game every month>now theyre 120 dollarsi wonder why every kid plays roblox?
>>735146774And you get mad when told a mod costs money, same shit
>>735146774Roblox is the play store for pc. Lots of "free" games that are actually there to make whales and dolphins spend money. Making most of it shit. The non shit also gets bought out and ptw inserted.
>>735154065they unironically don't know any better, microtransactions+ads+popups everywhere is normality to them>>735154591huh, I remember my parents spending 60€ to get me a Naruto PS2 game (that ended up being shit) 20 years ago, Astrobot's release price was 70€ so if anything in my country the price of video games has been rather stable
>>735146774Ok whateverI plan on just playing my backlog or just quit the hobby overal if it gets to that.I have more pressing concerns for the 2030s anyway
Are zoomers really too retarded to know how to pirate games? I mean I don't mind if that's true since it puts less pressure on adding DRM, but it's still really sad if it's true.
My wife only plays Fortnite. Maybe AC when theres the need to play it.
>>735150504>8 years previous experience minimumThat's just what they say to keep the riff raff out. It worked on your lazy ass.
>>735156112Shut the fuck up boomer
>>735156112Real talk
>>735146774Ja, have fun playing the gayest fucking game ever made zoomie faggots. Your only worth is that your parent might be dumb enough to give you money.
>>735152081Because you don't think she'll like it or because you don't want her to turn into an MGS fujo?
>>735146774And those kids right. There were flash games, mods, romhacks etc with more soul and effort put into them than corpo slop 25 years ago, with much more mileage for your gameplay experience and they also happened to be free. Based kids. I hope they continue not paying
>>735146774This is because zoomers and gen alpha refuse to get jobs
>>735146774>$20 is like out of range for like half the worldKids say the darndest things.
