why are steam forums so unhinged?
>>
based steamies
>>
That's kinda based not gonna lie.
>>
every online forum is just 4chan now

yep, it's 4chan alright

Total chud victory.

Why do chuds hate this game? It didn't even seem woke to me.
>>
>>738468342
color of any kind is woke

If you shit on crimson desert in the crimson desert forums they will react more aggressively and angrily than anything I've ever seen on 4chan.
It really is the mustering grounds for those who ascribe their whole identity onto a video game's success.

It depends on how popular a game is
>TF2's SPUD being a complete shithole of like 5 posters on upwards of their hundredth alt trying to ritual post the game to death by being annoying for 10 years straight
Or unpopular.
>Marathon's SPUD being a cancerous shithole of autists trying to convince other people to think they're cool for shrieking at a game nobody likes.
Generally people are totally oblivious to the existence of steam community features unless explicitly informed of them, so the quality of poster varies wildly between complete shit or actually good, and all of them inform you that the Chinese pretty blatantly bot the steam hardware survey because there's no reasonable way you could claim a third of the people on steam are chinks.
>>
>>738467703
Because steam is full of /r/pcmasterrace zoomer retards, oh wait that's also /v/ it's the same group.
>>
Online culture has shifted in the past few years to the point that all social media is 4chan lite. It's partly why this place is bleeding users. Why go to 4chan when you can go on X or Discord and get the same experience? There's way more people there too.
>>
>>738467703
70% of steam users are chinks.
>>
>>738468660
>There's way more people there too
This is also total bullshit, but you do have a point of most major websites for social interactions being functionally interchangable
>>
>>738468660
Maybe I'm numb to it but 4chan sfw boards have started to feel like the tamest and most sensible communities compared to all the social media slop.
>>
>>738468660
but you have to have a username and a gay little profile picture which defeats the whole point

Yes and no, if you're known as a user to be a complete fag yeah people will just ignore you, but functionally speaking there really isn't that much different.
The fags running this site maintain profiles on people based on what IP they're posting from and what images they post and they act like total fags about it so the main thing you'd have to worry about, admins being fags because they don't like you is a problem here too.
>>
>>738468342
I don't think it's really Chud hate, the game is just ugly and people were already pissed at Bungie for what they did to Destiny
The Chud memes just work well for shitposting a game. Writing a ten pages novel on why you think the game is bad isn't well suited for a victory lap.
Some Chud one-liner before you dab out of the room works way better.
>>
>>738469020
It's more of a distraction from the fact that the game is fairly generic and uninteresting imo.
>>
>>738468017
and that's a good thing

>>738467703
Why have gamers become petite-shareholders who are more obsessed with how much money a game makes than how fun it is to play?

>>738468790
Passive aggressiveness breeds resentment, and being unable to vent resentment due to overmoderation leads to passive aggressiveness. On 4chan you can go on a full raging schizo fueled vent if you need to and you won’t be banned. On any other social media, any slight whiff of genuine aggressive anger and you get perma’d. This creates a feedback loop of passive aggressiveness and resentment, rendering those social medias unusable for anyone with healthy grasp on their emotions. Healthy doesn’t mean bottling up negative emotions and radiating forced positivity, by the way, like leftists want you to believe. Healthy means letting them flow outward, the good and the bad, naturally. 4chan is the only major social media you can do this anymore
This manufactured resentment is what is going to lead to world war 3, and we fully have overmoderated social media to thank for that.
>>
>>738469269
I mean I could break down why basically every social media is shit, but you're probably not interested in the boring mechanical reasons behind that.
>>
>>738469269
This is a very good post anon. But I would argue that there is probably a bit of nuance and a middle ground somewhere between forcing people to supress their emotions and opinions vs just letting people say whatever they want all the time.

>>738468301
>I care so much about the state of the video games industry but I would NEVER EVER develop a video game
>>
>>738469246
Why do you act like this is anything new? It's no different than the console wars of earlier generations.
>>
I thought Marathon had EoS'd, why does it even have an active Steam Forum? The publisher not know they can just have their social media guy lock the forum to read-only?
>>
>>738468342
Vast majority of people who hate the game are probably Destiny fans who are pissed at Bungie for what they did to that game.

>>
>>738470008
I mean no, yeah you're actually pretty close there, but the REAL answer is that most site metrics are complete bullshit and the near entirety of the tech industry is just a precession of investment and advertising scams directly at the cost of the established reasons for any of these sites existing.

I am anything but a right wing retard who votes for pedophiles. It makes sense that you value culture wars instead of fuel prices, because dumbfucks like you have never cared about anything important in their entire lives.

If you valued fuel prices you'd be right wing and against more kike wars in the middle east.

Are they actual alts or just accounts he's bought for access to games? Keysites sell keys but they also sell accounts with games that were bought at region-locked prices.

He sounds pretty resonable to me.

>If you valued fuel prices you'd be right wing and against more kike wars in the middle east.

What is "developmentally" stunted about that? Those statements would literally only offend jews.

>just call it trolling anon
It's not trolling, so no.
>>
>>738467703
think about what kind of creature you would have to be to post there regularly whether they're chudding it up or fagmaxxing. It's not something that normal people do, and 99% of subnormal people don't do it either. To wake up and spend your day constantly refreshing the forgotten forums of dead games so you can spam the dumbest fucking posts ever, or breaking your f5 key on the newsposts for games so that you can be the first person to type "xaxaxa add br/chinese/tagalog language pls".
I imagine them all as dsygenic malformed homunculi.

>>738471120
Trolling used to be a art. There hasn't been any real trolling for years, if not a decade now. It's all just low effort ragebait screencaps.
>>
>>738471420
it is
rage baiting is just a synonym of trolling, zoomers just don't know the word trolling anymore

the only discussion forum i follow is an indie game where the majority of topics are from thirdie children complaining that the game is too hard demanding it to be simpler and cater to their time while the dev regularly comes around and reads all of it, and proceeds to make the game even harder with every update.
