The Vidya industry is fucking dying... how come /v/ doesn't seem to care?
Because the majority of this board is accelerationists. If this dogshit industry is dying, then let it happen.
>>738703081i didnt do anything
>>738703081>The Vidya industry is fucking dying.It literally isn't. You weren't even alive for the first crash to know what actually caused it.
I'm tired of complaining that it's dying. They only care because it's reached a point where their own paychecks are drying up.
>>738703081Good games still sell. Like Starfield was a top seller last month. So maybe it's a skill issue for the rest of the industry?
its over sisters...they voted with their wallet...
Why don't they just make good games?
>>738703081>The video games industry is killing itself and no one MUST READ
>>738703081>The video games industry is killing itself and no one MUST READ seems to care.
>>738703081The videogame industry never truly existed until Mixtape was released.
>>738703081I want it to die anonAnd I want all the woke deva dead too. It shall be so.
>/v/ doesn't seem to careI care and have been heavily invested in the industry's death for well over a decade at this point
let it all crash, with no survivors
>>738703081>video games industry is killing itselfPick up the pace please
>>738703081They stopped making games for me, so I don't care.
>>738703081
Doesn't fortnite & minecraft make a billion dollars ever week? That doesn't sound like something that's dying.
>>738703081sorry i misplaced the fuck i give about the modern industryi think i lost it around 2014anyways back to playing my backlog
>>738704493I've started playing older games with RetroAchievements set up, it's actually a lot of fun. I did a playthrough of Jak & Daxter without collecting any orbs, it put a fun and unique spin on the game and changed how I approached things
COUNTLESS JOBS ARE AT STEAK medium rare CHUDDIES PLEASE BUY MIXTAPE AND SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL GAME DEV, FOR ONCE IN YOUR CHUD LIVES BE A DECENT HUMAN BEING
>>738703081I'm all for non-woke indies and AA, I don't care about AAA games or the AAA industry, that can collapse for all I care.
>>738703081no, only leftoid westoid studios are dying.we look to the east for better games.
>>738703081It's run by jews spreading propaganda and live service cancer. The industry dying is a good thing. Free hobby projects people make for fun is all the world needs.
>>738704695good shit man, yeah the backlog is where it's at. im playing kh2fm on critical myselfalso if you haven't, check out opengoal.it's a really nice way to play the original jak trilogy on pc, high quality stuff
>>738703081AAA gaming is dying, and they need to die faster. Some of the best games I've ever played were indie projects released in the last few years. Videogames aren't going anywhere, greedy faggots and political activists are.
>>738704892I'm only interested in Jak 1 but I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to sit down and play 2 and 3. I thought about putting KH on my list but those games are kind of too drawn out for me to play too often, especially the intros. Right now I'm doing the original Sonic games and Rayman 1 and Paper Mario: TTYD
>>738703081Does the video games industry care about me, their consumer?No?They only care about profit and whatever propaganda they want to shove into everyone's throat?
>>738703081The big, official vidya industry has been dead since 2000, occasionally twitching as its bloated carcass gets cash enemas.Being unable to sell games is literally just a case of not knowing how the market actually works.
>>738703506>And I want all the woke deva dead too. It shall be so.It will be done, Asura
>>738703081maybe these fucking RETARDED FAGGOTS should make games that people actually want to buy that have HOT WHITE/ASIAN WOMEN and NO FORCED MESSAGE OR WOKE SHIT and COOL DUDES THAT DON'T GET OVERSHADOWED OR NEUTERED AND ARE ALLOWED TO BE COOLliterally all youhavetodois MAKE GAMES LIKE IT'S 2005and you sell your fucking games
>>738703081The game industry hasn't represented gamers in at least 2 decades, let it die.
>>738703081*The western AAA vidya industry is dying and that's a good thing
>>738705686Oops I posted the wrong one nvm
>The AAA industry doesn't need to be your game developers>AAA is over
>>738703081Good. Women and performative men ruined gaming. Hope it dies.
>>738703081>vidya industry>completely full of tranny devs and writers>killing itself>no one caresyeah that sounds about right
I am actively celebrating tho
>Modern western games are made for trannies/old women/queers>Blackrock and other financial institutions paid JP devs to emulate the western woke shit>i really dont like chinks>mostly play some shovelware R-18 games/VN Nah, let the western gaming industry die for all i care.
>>738703081because it's not worth saving, not with all the woke shit, mtx, $70+, dlc and broken on release and so on. gaming died once gen 6 ended
>>738703081i care in the sense that i want more companies in the mass grave.
>>738705320>I'm only interested in Jak 1 but I'll keep that in mind if I ever decide to sit down and play 2 and 3.thats fair, jak did a whole face change after 1 so completely understandable>I thought about putting KH on my list but those games are kind of too drawn out for me to play too often,2 does have a long intro and takes a bit to get going, the fights keeps me having fun, storys a fucking mess but that was to be expected.>Right now I'm doing the original Sonic games and Rayman 1 and Paper Mario: TTYDvery good taste, all great stuff
>>738705686This guy got banned, didn't he?
>>738703081we want it to die
>>738703258cool it with the antisemitic remarks
>>738703081Games will always be made, industry or no.
Everything that becomes popularised, by the very fact that the vasty majority are mouth-breathers, must be diminished; which, within a capitalist paradigm, then creates a race to the bottom dynamic that can only ever result in the eventual erasure of that which was being diluted.Fear not, however... For as gaming dies because of the sacrifice in quality that is baked into its effort to condescend to the lowest consumer denominator, the increasing indifference to the pastime -- due to the abject state it will be in (already is in?) -- means that, not only will no one care that gaming dies; when the time comes, most will actually celebrate it.
>>738706797Yup, indie is the future, small, mid, and large.
>>738703081This board has had “I wish we had another industry crash” as basically a slogan for as long as I’ve been here, which is 2010. I don’t necessarily think it’s a rational demand, if the games industry were to go kaput it’s not like we would be drastically improving anything. I think it’s an expression of what we really think about games: we hate them. They’ve sucked our life away. We’ve spent so much time on these stupid toys, to the point where many of us don’t have a life outside of it. If the industry crashes and gaming dies outside of tiny one-man indie teams that can only make slop like Vampire Survivors, maybe we would finally be able to move on.
>>738707628Free speech laws and the sheer power of modern information dissemination means that we have moved to a post-publisher world.There is effectively no real distinction between indies and major publishers other than nepotism and incompetence, they're just cruising on their overfunded legal departments that are being kept upright by corrupt 20th century legislation like copyright.
>>738707784Yup, I'm thankful for Steam killing the middlemen which killed the indies that were built up in the 80s on up after the crash. Valve did it because Microsoft started shitting up the industry with acquisitions back in the year 2000. God, fuck that company, I swear everything bad in gaming today was created by Microsoft.
>>738703081Because I cared for the past 15 years and nothing ever changed, so fuck it. Burn it all down, and we'll see if what crawls from the wreckage is any good.
>>738703081>industrythey turned what should have been a labor of love into a machine to squeeze people of their money. It deserves to die.
>>738703081Good, let it die.
>>738703129Now I am become Death, the Destroyer of Worlds
>>738703081Bait article written for clicks. The industry makes more money every single year.>b-but the layoffsHave not affected anything but garbage. I'd like a great vidya reset as much as the next guy, but it's not gonna happen.
>>738707781No I just want good games. And there are good games being made, but they're not coming from AAA studios anymore, they just soak up attention and resources from the good games
Indie games are killing gaming like immigrants are killing first world countries.
>>738703081Nortubel will save the industry
>>738708398"The Industry" is what, Minecraft, Roblox, and Fortnite? Do you know how much money Sony spent on Concord and Bungie? It's not going to kill them outright, but they can't keep making mistakes like that forever. And that's Sony, places like Ubisoft are on their last legs because they spent all of their goodwill and can't sell games anymore
The video game industry is dying in sense that gaming is normies lose interest. That is an entirely good thing because now the medium will only be inhabited by those who love it for what it is.
>>738707178Should be slime instead.
>>738708572Yeah, Sony's going to pivot, probably follow a Nintendo partership model with third parties in Japan to make games of their IPs and new IPs for PlayStation. Their going to gut their western branch and studios harder than Nintendo gutted NOA after Project Hammer.
>>738708572Bungie could have still been a top dog if they didn't do everything in their power to kill off Destiny 2. They could have made even more money by remastering Destiny 1 and releasing that shit on PC, just fucking imagine how much they would have made.
>>738708601Yup, $80 games, and $1000 home consoles will be the last straw, even gaming PCs will be too expensive for them. Handhelds will be king next gen and indies will take over.
>>738708680Destiny was always an inferior Warframe to me. Digital Extremes clears Bungie, both in gameplay and in exhibiting malice towards their own fans by sabotaging their game
the industry as a whole is fine, the legacy establishment of video game industry is not
I play indie games.It's not dying. Retarded take by retarded cattle wearing blinders.
they should make games people want to play
>>738708746Is warframe really that good? I always had the impression that it was a p2w grindfest and another assumption that starting this late in the game you would basically always be behind no matter what.
>>738703258journalists don't like those
>>738703081Oh, I do care>>738703185Terrorist!
>>738709010journos only like what they're paid to like.
>>738709074no one paid them to like slop like mixtape
>>738709085lol, I'm sure they were paid just like all the fiverr jeets were paid to shill that game here.
>>738708904Yes, yes, and yes. It had a very good baseline that has since been muddled by a decade of poor design decisions and content islands "inspired" by the big FOTM games that make you grind for shit that has no bearing on the rest of the game. The devs are petty, incompetent, and belligerent towards fans and community members who point out their poor behavior or decisions. Despite all that, the movement systems and gunplay are second to none, I literally cannot think of a game that is more fun to move around in. It's what kept me playing long after I should have quit, but I finally did and I've been clean for five years now. There's so much I could say about it, but I don't want to spend the rest of the night ranting
>>738703081only triple AAA acshully
>>738705686wokeness destroys everything.
>>738703081As it should
>>738703081gamer backlogs are bigger than ever. The "industry is dying" forced meme that only exists to prop up the careers of people who talk about it negatively or positively
>>738703258Making/playing good games makes you a >misogynist>sexist>transphobic>islamphobe
>>738709203jesus wtf
>>738708572Capcom is doing well, Nexon is doing well, Nintendo is doing extremely well, Steam has more active users every day, GTA6 will undoubtedly break records. The industry is shifting towards more smaller games and fewer big releases, but it's far from dying.
>>738709141I guess I'll try it out then. I fucking loved Destiny 2 but devs did everything in their power to run that game into the ground and then spit on it's grave, did it up, beat and grind it up and then bury it again. I can always uninstall the game.
>>738703081>>738703081>>738703081>>738703081Why would anyone want to play ZX Spectrum or C64 games? They’re ancient and not fun today in 2026
>>738703081A lot of people notice shit on here and want things to change but what can bunch of faggots do against a multi-billion conglomerate that ruins everything their touch with their greedy jewish hands.Shit been compromised ever since late 90s but we didn't recognize that yet since most of us were either still in diapers or not even born yet.
>>738707781>if the games industry were to go kaput it’s not like we would be drastically improving anythingIt would get rid of all the people here just for a paycheck and the only people that would remain will be people that love the hobby. That is a massive improvement.
>>738703129Good. Accelerate.
I play old games since there's nothing to play.AAA games so long to take and they're so high budget, they have to be extremely safe, which makes them generic, outdated by the time they release, either in monetization, tropes or genre, that not even normies want to play them, as they're tired of these games.
>>738703258And let the chuds win? Never!
>>738709252I have no idea what the game looks like now, but I hope you get some enjoyment out of it and that you're able to get out when it stops being fun. I can't even give you advice on what gear to work towards because a common trope of DE's development cycle was to constantly nerf weapons and warframes that were doing too well or that had certain synergies that they didn't plan for. Just remember to go fast and abuse anything you can.
>>738709235
>>738709354>what can bunch of faggots do against a multi-billion conglomerate that ruins everything their touch with their greedy jewish handsNot give them money and make fun of them and their products. And it's been working
>>738707178Shut the fuck up, you stupid goddamn communist faggot.
>>738709705That's what I've been doing for over a decade but it literally doesn't matter because there's a hundred thousands of low iq cattle pre-ordering a full price game after seeing one trailer and never even touching it after it releases in my place.
>>738709858You just witnessed some of the greatest financial blunders in modern gaming, why would you say that voting with your wallet doesn't work?
>dyingThe AI gold rush will cause a vidya recession, but only serve to even further consolidate the big publishers and conglomerates.
a
>>738703081> "the industry"> actually just western studios dyingthe healing will begin when the lying and gas lighting stops
>>738705609they dont understand that, its not possiblethe formula is right there, but the politics are more important
>>738703081Only in the West, who cares
cant fucking wait
Fuck'em for making bad games, I'm playing old ones and I'm having fun
>>738705609basically this yeah
