Imagine the first game of your brand new company makes, a new IP with zero recognizability, takes the world by storm and ends up outselling industry veterans on the genre.

it's one of the strongest arguments ever made for why games are art
>>
games can never be art
no (You) for you
>>
>>737857651
I've never understood this perspective. The only actual argument people use to try to salvage this view is that that some video games are sometimes made for children. As if that somehow invalidates the entire medium from ever having artistic merit. But movies? Oh that's high-art of the modern age. Nothing quite screams of human creativity like watching overpaid actors in the most recent capeshit propaganda piece for two hours.

The only reason the "video game's aren't art" meme exists was because the review and critique of video games was openly performed by laymen, people without a formal education to allow them the nuanced perspective the so-called experts had. When it turned out some dude on YouTube having an opinion about a video game became more profitable, more popular and more recognizable than classically trained movie critics the entire industry and it's guilds (plural) threw a bitch-fit and declared the medium as unartistic in a desperate move to undermine the dude on YouTube. This was of course, in hindsight, a retarded decision as Hollywood is now practically irrelevant and so are these critics.
There doesn't really exist a central argument for why video games aren't art and it's pretty much the reason no one agrees with these people.

The tech industry is going through a silent depression right now. Too much outsourcing to thirdies has left the gaming sphere without experience and understanding of how technology actually works anymore. This has resulted in a ton of "band aid workarounds" being applied, like questionable upscaling, fake frames, multi-frame AA and other questionable shortcuts that allow games to temporary look better in some situations instead of optimizing to look good in all situations. Combine this with a massive hardware loss thanks to memetech like AI, bitcoin and Web 3.0 and we're stuck with very mediocre devs leading a very mediocre pack of thirdies to build very mediocre games on very mediocre hardware.

People often root for things to fail due to a complex mix of psychology, insecurity, and social dynamics. While it may seem mean-spirited, this behavior, often referred to as schadenfreude (pleasure derived from another's misfortune), stems from a variety of deep-seated reasons
Here are the primary reasons why this occurs:
1. Insecurity and Self-Esteem Boost
Superiority Complex: Witnessing others fail can temporarily boost a person’s self-esteem and make them feel better about their own life circumstances.
Comparison Trap: According to Social Comparison Theory, when people feel "behind" or unaccomplished, they may feel "less lonely" in their failures when they see others failing too.
Insecurity: Deep-rooted envy can lead to a desire to see someone perceived as "more fortunate" fail, which provides a sense of justice or "karma" to those struggling.
2. Psychological Coping Mechanisms
Reducing Cognitive Dissonance: People often believe (consciously or subconsciously) that things will go wrong, so they root for failure to stay on the side of "what is likely to happen". This prevents them from feeling disappointed when things do go wrong, allowing them to feel "right".
Escapism: People often feel high pressure and stress from their own lives, and focusing on someone else’s downfall can act as a form of distraction from their own problems.
3. Biological and Social Factors
Competition: Humans have an innate drive to compete for resources, social status, or attention. Seeing someone else succeed can induce discomfort or insecurity, leading to the desire for them to fail.
"Us vs. Them" Mentality: In certain environments, such as the workplace or in fandoms, people may adopt a team-based mindset where they feel they must "destroy" the other side to win.
4. Personal Grudges and Revenge
Past Experience: Someone may have been hurt by a person or a group and desires to see them experience a downfall as a form of retribution
tl;dr you have depression

Kepler Interactive Limited is a video game publisher headquartered in London, with an additional office in Singapore.[2] It was formed in 2021 out of a partnership between seven indie game developers at the initiative of Alexis Garavayan, incumbent CEO of the company. These seven founding studios are New Zealand-based A44, Canada-based Alpha Channel, France-based Awaceb and Sloclap, Serbia-based Ebb Software, Japan-based Swedish developer Shapefarm and US-based Timberline Studio.

Employing around 50 people, Kepler also publishes productions from studios outside the group.[3] Its most notable published games include Sifu (2022), Tchia (2023), Pacific Drive (2024) and Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (2025).

Classification autism but applied to intangible human experience. Medium of vidyagaems displays the massive fundamental contrast between objective and subjective criteria of judgement. That dissonance sends midwits into an indescribable frenzy, which is why "games are (not) art" claims are merely stated but never backed up by anything.
Can a piece of software be considered a piece of art? Can a set of abstract rules? Can an experience of physical interfacing? Can a holistic result of all of the above? What if we add illustration and music and all the other established media? That's the shit you can discuss and argue about, possibly disagree. But needless to say most people can't articulate their opinions on art or follow formal logic.

I do find it funny that nobody in the entire history of 4chan has ever cared about or cried about "nepobabies" until E33. It just goes to show how desperate someone is to convince everyone here to hate it.

You know what else I've noooooticed?? These threads used to be full of posts about how E33 was shit because of AI. Well this thread has been up for over 8 hours and still not a single mention of it.. Why? Well SE recently made several announcements regarding AI and how much they'll be using it and have already begun using it. So I think our strongest anti-E33 fighters here might be quietly retiring the AI is bad push.
They also shit on E33 in every way they can ASIDE from complaining about jeet coders, because guess what? More than half the names in FFVII Rebirth's credits are indian.

Most astroturfed game of the decade.

I wasn't interested in this game until I saw the round the clock, day and night, neverending seethe and schizoposting. So I played it myself and I thought it was really good.
The funniest thing about all this is /v/ has bitched for over a decade about how shit everything is, and then E33 comes along and there's really no good sane reason to hate it, and it doesn't do 99% of the shit we usually hate about modern games... and look at what happens. Utterly mindbroken. E33 is like a nuke going off right at the heart of /v/. All it took to destroy this place was one actually good videogame.
8/10 would love to pound Maelle's perfect 16 year old ass.

I can understand why they're upset. It proved you don't need to hire half a million jeets to do shitty "coding" in order to make a game good or successful. In fact it might even be better without hiring them. E33 presents a huge threat to their entire world.
>>
>>737872452
i don't think a game has ever hit /v/ as deep as e33 did
i wouldn't really call it divisive as the people who don't like it don't like good games already and this didn't really widen the split
but it did make the split clearer, there are some people on this board who straight up don't have good taste in, or even like, video games
e33 made me realize that

>>737873142
Good point. If 30ish Frenchfags can do this much, what does one need thirdies for?
>>
>>737873168
It makes it clear that the shit /v/ argues about rarely, if ever, has anything to do with the games themselves. The vast majority of the seethe in these threads is from people who haven't played it. They don't even hide it.
Most of /v/ is addicted to gachaslop now anyway. So think about it: brown chimps who tap their phones all day take a break from their, ahem, "games" to screech about this actual videogame for the crime of being popular.

They always consider those sales. When you download them, Sony thanks you for your purchase. They have never not been called sales.

>>737877170
Oh right I forgot that they consider just watching a stream of a game as a sale

>They have never not been called sales.
You're thinking of something like "10 million players".
>>
>>737877253
Yes but only SE are desperate enough for a win that they would announce these "digital downloads" as sales.
>>
>>737876158
He doesn't need to prove PS+ downloads count as "sold" because that isn't what the poster says. It says "shipped & sold". The only conceivable reason to include "shipped" along with "sold" is so that you can include games which were shipped but not sold, i.e. free downloads.

>>
>>737877687
You have the burden of proof backwards. You see, a game which was provided for free on PSN or Game Pass and downloaded has, by definition, been shipped. "Sold" is a different metric which suggests that somebody exchanged money specifically for this game. If you want to claim that "shipped" does not in fact include free downloads contrary to its definition, but is actually synonymous with "sold" in this case, and yet they used both of these allegedly synonymous terms in the poster just for the sake of it, it's on you to prove that.

>>737853447
>industry veterans
Funny you mention, since this game was made by a full team of industry veteran, plus additional contractors, with the backing of a massive publisher. I don't know why you're still trying to shill the narrative that this is a little indy game at least a year after anyone stopped caring.
>>
>>737878084
Have you ever downloaded anything on ps+? They thank you for your purchase. Why be obtuse? If you are absolutely certain SE did not include these downloads as sales when making their 7m announcement, we'd all love to see what drove you to this conclusion
>>
>>737853447

Personally i was in love with the game since they announced it precisely because it was something new and it was kind of like Shadow Hearts. If it had been just another Souls like game i´d have not given it the time of the day but they went with a system mostly abandoned by other devs and were making an original and interesting world and story.

I got kind of disappointed by the use of AI and re-used market tier assets, not going to lie, but in the end seeing how it was a small team making their first game i decided to not get too upset about it. After all i did enjoy the game.

I´m curious about if they´ll be able to pull it off a second time now. After all now that they are established there will be expectations and comparisons. Their next game is sure to be compared to E33 and they won´t get a second free pass over using AI. Furthermore there is now additional pressure. Will they stagnate and play it safe to try and replicate success or will they still be able to remain somewhat creative and make something different and fresh? They´ll have to grow fast.

That is not the case at all. When people talk about shipped software, they mean packaged builds distributed to end users. This is industry convention all over the internet. Shipped = distributed. It refers to digital only products as well such as updates. Not sure why you're so confidently wrong about this.

"400" is a tiny amount of people to make a game of E33's scale. Here is the amount of people needed to make a game that got downgraded twice in scope. And where the devs bragged about how little ambition they have with their game.
>>
The final fantasy hate is so manufactured here. It’s crazy, but every mention of that series here comes from some butthurt guy comparing E33 to a 30 year old game as proof of why it’s the best game ever. This is like when crimson desert players were comparing their game to Skyrim. If a game that is older than you is still being used as a barometer than you trying to shit on it just backfires.

>>737879983
Are you joking? FF hate happens with or without E33 around.
Plus you go into any FF threads and FF fans are tearing each other apart over which FF is best. And even when they all like the same FF they tear each other apart for liking or disliking the wrong thing or having different opinions on the story, or god forbid, the girls.
99% of "manufactured" FF hate is schizos in the FF fanbase eating each other alive. Very few people outside the FF fanbase give a shit about FF at all.
