When has voting with your wallet worked for gamers?
i'm buyunary.
>>737432857all the times where devs seethed over low sales i guess
My time is more valuable, the 90s and 2000s were great, the muttoid government wasn't as involved in gaming, pushing narratives and dei shit, zooms and alphs get turds now
>>737432857Concord.
>>737432857Concord
>>737432857genshin impact
>>737432857When has voting with your wallet worked for anything?
>>737432857You mean in positive or negative sense? Because plenty of Bamco games that sold well are supported for decades like Xenoverse 2
When everyone was on the same page, even the oblivious 99% of gamers who aren't in online spaces and in the know of what currently boycotted games are on 4chan/Reddit/etcI.e. >>737433118 >>737433187Problem is everyone online complains about everything, so more often than not things preached to vote with your wallet fail because as mentioned 99% of gamers don't even go online and are unaware.
>>737432857Pretty good in recent years, if you consider how mad every single western dev is, because I don't buy their games anymore.
>>737433048A lot of these shit studios are only alive because they're funded by tax money, they're zombie studiosThey release slop though and no one wants it, government workers are mostly inept idiots
>>737432857Considering all the trash that has flopped in the last few years, I'd say pretty good.
It doesn't.You just have to decide if a game's unsavory practices outweigh what you like about it. You can't win the war, only pick your battles.
>>737432857>”vote” with your wallet>It’s actually you either don’t vote at all or vote yes and you can vote yes as many times as you can afford and the total votes “candidates” need entirely depends on how much money they spentno
>>737432857Concordian timeline games, including battleborn
"Voting with your wallet" always works, because that's how most business workThe problem is most people don't realize they are voting with their wallet because their decision to buy or not to buy something depends entirely on what they like or how they feel at that time, not because they want to be part of an online movement or somethingDmC was "voted with their wallet" and that's why it's dead. The anons above posting about Concord are also right. And obviously the opposite is also true since successful titles still come outBut it's not some part of a war against an imaginary enemy. It's why I always get a laugh at reviewers going "then vote with your wallet : )" and then when the game bombs they all go "why did capital G gamers let this studio die?"
>>737433118>>737433187>>737433672Concord flopped, but game devs are still making hero shooter slop as if Overwatch is still the biggest thing around.The point of “voting with your wallet” is to hopefully end X practice. So you were “voting against” lootboxes, you’d hope that all companies would see less demand for lootboxes, get the hint, and stop adding them.
>>737434158Game dev and trends go back some 5 years on average anon, when you've been making and funding something for years it's very difficult for many studios to just cancel it. That is the only reason why the industry seems so slow to catch up on trends. What's popular now will influence games in 5-6 years to come
>>737433762People should vote with their time instead, if it's slop best not to even let the brain worms in or you might end up a triple boosted taxslave drone
Remember when Sony tried to make Online Pass a thing? It died because nobody was buying those.
>>737434267>5 yearsha ha…
>>737432857It worked for Mega Man Legends, gamers voted that they didn't want it at all. In fact gamers have voted many franchises to death over the decades. But gamers have also voted some franchises back to life such as DMC.
>>737436118>It worked for Mega Man Legends, gamers voted that they didn't want it at all.it has been 16 years and i'm still mad holy shit
>>737436201>it has been 16 yearsI wonder how much of /v/'s current userbase was here for that.
>>737432857It has been working consistently well with AAA games failing several times in the last few years. Gamers just now have to learn to dive into the indie scene and spend that game into other games so they can go on to make games closer to the level of technical quality some of them crave from AAA games.
>>737432857It works for gachashit.It made lots of money, so now there's loads of it.
>>737432857Hey guise.I am starting a betting market over whether josh moon will die alone.I am doing this because I know, that even with the added incentive of betting on himself he will still never get any girl, anywhere to touch his penis.Can you imagibe his sperg ass running up to a girl and saying "Listen if you date me we can split the money!", still getting rejected and then chasing her down the street screaming about gambling until the police taser him? That's the type of shit that get's my dick hard. Almost as hard as fridge body lolis.
>>737432857Never, but pooshills want you to believe it's a viable tactic. Precisely because it isn't, and the industry know this.
>>737432857Literally every major flop in the last 4 years. People actually stopped just buying games and started doing more investigations into if the game was ass or not before wasting cash
>>737439242Serious mode; it was the aging of gamers transitioning to online purchases. A kid/parent in a gamestore doesn't know what is good. A person on steam can see.The fucked themselves in the long run pushing digital distribution.They had pipedreams of having total control and consumers actually owning nothing. Guess not lol.
>>737432857Go woke go broke is the best exampleSee Concord and leftists seething over it
>>737433762This. People just don't realize that when things don't go their way, it means they're simply getting outvoted.
>>737432857Any time games are made to own the chuds.
>>737440860>top the charts>58k
>>737432857All those Sony live service games? I voted against them.
