>>739607749Blitzball sucks.Church sucks.Everyone just needs to fuckin' SIN.
Roblox is free?
>>739607749Good, it's time for the AAA industry to crash
it's roblox

>>739607749The games they prefer to play are free, just the way it is, companies should stop trying to appeal to them and continue to market towards millennial man children with no families and no lives instead
>>739607749free games are better and get more updates
>>739607842>>739607881Fortnite is free.Minecraft is free.FIFA is once a yearDo the kids even play anyhting else?

>>739607749too woke
>>739607749many of them prefer parasocial relationships where they watch other people do things over doing those things by themselves
>>739607749They just spend on Roblox rather than spread the wealth
>>739607749People don't have money, that's why.
>>739608087They do that because they don't have the money to do those things themselves.
>>739607749gacha will dominate the gaming landscape. free-to-play will be z primary marketwestoids can't make attractive characters without being sleazy. they can' sell the titilation like the waifu pimps can
>>739608206so who donates to streamers?
>>739608251Very few rich whales.
>>739607749Zoomers can't afford gas or groceries because right wingers are pedophiles Next question
>>739607749they don't play, they watch
>>739608206I am sure even zoomers would have the 10 bucks those friendslop games cost, but instead they watch someone play it on stream
>>739607842>>739607998That’s mostly gen alpha stuff, not gen ZMinecraft is the only one of those I could see someone from gen Z playing
>>739607749almost like a lot of the big games are f2p, and those always get the majority of their $$$ from a minority of whales.
>>739608271this seems like a joke, but reading up on f1nn5ter lore is legitimately concerning
>>739607749based zoomzooms
Zoomer faggots are lazy and anti capitalism because their low IQ minds got poisoned by democrat commies, of course they got no money to spend on games
Male gen z have no money and Women don't spend money on video games
>>739607749Lots of zoomers probably grew up right in the gaming decline that started around the early 2010s. All they can remember is games getting shittier and shittier, they weren't around when things were looking up and big-name developers actually earned their fame and fortune with quality output. It's been increasingly repugnant dogshit their entire lives.Of course they're not going to spend money on it.
>>739608272not sure how right wingers liking little girls relates, but importing a quadrillion niggers and paying for their entire life's support + h1bs might have something to do with the economy going to shit. now who's the pro-immigration and pro-minority party again? the one that hates capitalism and thinks that money grows on trees?
>>739608582> women make moneynow the world cant totally be blamed on themitll be interesting to see how the paradigm shift plays out if they have all the money and men have very littlekept men?
>>739607912Zoomer here, I make a lot of money myself and I'm not buying 80$ trash, not 70$, on extremely rare occasions I get something for 60$, last time was maybe about 5 years ago I forgot.I've started buying fewer games in general, very few leave an impression on me enough to even consider paying money for it, there's such an abundance of good games you can play for free
>>739608613Happening in the entire world, even ones without niggers.Its orange man
Is this one of those "studies" that ignores people are having fewer kids so there aren't as many in this age group to spend money on games?
you don't understand they couldnt possibly buy games, the have to order from uber eats every single day, multiple times a day actually
>>739608686I always found it funny that people look at>zoomies don't waste money on shit they do not care aboutand equate that to>zoomies don't have any moneymy sister is significantly younger than me and her and her friends are spending money left and right (money they earned themselves too, not just money from their bfs), just not on the kind of stuff the established industry wants them to spend it on.
Why would I spend money on modern shitty vidya when I have the entire internet at my finger tips for 40+ years of good vidya?
>>739608613Do you think right wing owned businesses aren't hiring illegals who they can play less or exporting all the jobs out of country where they have to pay less wages and have less safety standards. Hint: this is a class issue, not a political leaning issue. You're being tricked into thinking the latter so you won't fuck around with the former.
Is obsessing on the spending habits of the next generation just a generational rite of passage at this point?It's like Boomers crying over millenials spending less on McSlop
>>739608686this, and also emulators and old games. zoomers are literally playing shit like danganronpa and ps1 gOLDies, millenial new age shit can't even compete and they're not made for them anyway. also they're too busy body-maxxing and preparing for the inevitable civil war coming upon them
>>739608368because streamers are professional comedians while their own friends are not
>>739608797how I feel about books really. I go to the local bookstore and all that's on display is the lowest quality slop you can imagine, and then I open genlib and have millennia of literature right there.which already comes preselected because if it were shit that had zero cultural impact, no one would still remember it after all this time
>>739608671just more homeless and prisoners
>>739608002They should own 100% of the wealth.
>>739608815Do you think left wing open borders haven't flooded the country with illegals who drag down wages and force other businesses to cheat or go under just to compete, the illegals shouldn't even be here in the first place.Hint: this is a demographic issue, not a "bad businessman" issue. You're being tricked into hating the latter so you won't fuck around with the former.

>>739608671more warswomen love to start them, fully aware that they're not the ones who are going to die in them

>>739607749zoomers are KILLING videogames!!!
>>739607998The weird nerdy zoomers are still playing actual videogames. Don't act like normalfag 90s kids were playing Chrono Trigger instead of sportslop, licensed games and street fighter 2 (90s equivalent to GaaS shooters)
>>739607749Gen Z got no disposable income.Simple as.
>>739607749Have you checked the image you posted? It shows the reason right there.Gen Z isn't buying video games because they're fucking broke.
>>739609130Left wing governments like who exactly? There are only two parties in america and they're both right wing.
>>739608389Roblox is so old that millennials used to play it.
>>739607749Concentration towards a handful of online multiplayer games to sink hundreds of hours into
>>739607749>The gravy train is finally running dry.No. Indie games are just cheaper and there is more of them than ever before.
>>739609130Illegals didn't drive down wages for citizens, they took up jobs you couldn't pay regular people to do because they fucking suck.
>>739607749Gen Z does nothing except complain online.
>>739609504Same shit different gen. Old people blame the young, young people wonder why the old didn't fix anything.If I had a dollar for every industry my generation supposedly killed I'd be rich. The real problem is how many fuckers are terrified of anything ever changing.
>>739610074>this cope again
>>739607749>new study shows

>>739608671lmao have you been in a coma these past two decades or something? women will have their cake, eat it and still cry foul.
Because people don't like feeling ripped off
>>739607749Cuz games are shit
1: AAA games are bad, but more importantly, they're coming out way less often. When was the last time you saw like 8-10 huge AAA titles come out in a single year? It's been forever, companies are slowing down, taking 6-8 years to make a game and then it's shit and makes no money. This has happened so many times people are all but writing off big studios outside of their yearly sports releases. Even CoD isn't immune, although they've kept pace with releases, their past few games have sold poorly in comparison to earlier titles.2: the economy is garbage and people have less money for things like entertainment.3: gen z are in their early-mid 20s and have much less disposable income than millennials in their mid-30s to late-40s.4: it isn't nearly as bad as I'm sure this article is making it out to be. This reeks of those "MILLENNIALS ARE KILLING THE X INDUSTRY" headlines that were targeted at boomers and gen x. Now that they're old, millennials are the ones being targeted, and they're using the things they grew up with to say 'young people bad, now give me clicks'. Journalists are the scum of the earth.
>>739607749Games are now designed to have constant spending and millenials have more to spend, it isn't rocket scienceIf boomers grew up playing video games they'd outspend everyone
>>739608002Nah, I have more money than ever yet spend less and less on games
>>739607749These fags are just looking for a scapegoat to explain the drop in sales since covid.
>imagine playing video games like an unc instead of watching streamers play them frfr no cap :skull:
>>739610420I personally never blamed old people or gen alpha for anything, I don't care really, let them be and do their thing and hopefully they let me do my thing in peaceif the whole "every subsequent generation is more retarded and lazy than the previous generation" thing was true then we would have gone extinct centuries agoeach generation just adapts to their circumstances with the prospect of making things better for their children (unless you just hoard wealth for yourself like a psycho and throw everyone under the bus), if things suck then try to fix it or shut the hell up, whining while doing nothing has never solved a problemI hope gen z can reverse this trend of inter-generational seething but I guess it's truly impossible and you will always have some random retard blame a specific group of people for his problems in life
>>739609504>Just go outside, bro>outside:
>>739607749Gen Z is broke.
>>739607749Because contrary to what modern mainstream media wants you to think, most zoomers are pretty outgoing, have friends and fun lives and don't have as many socially isolated shut-ins as previous generations. I'm one of the later millennial generation (I was a year off from being born a zoomer) and have friends going both ways and what I've observed is that there are way less "loser" zoomers than there are millennials. Even the nerdiest zoomer I know has a solid social circle and a pretty hot cardio bunny girlfriend. Meanwhile the nerdiest millennial I know is a guy who works a soul-draining code monkey job and goes home alone to play vidya all weekend. Zoomies still play video games but they play them casually to blow off some steam, they have little interest in spending hard-earned cash on some $80 slop instead of doing something fun with their friends.>but the media says all zoomers are lonely nogf faggotsAnd media used to say similar dumb shit about millennials back in the day. Why the heck do you think they are any more correct about zoomers?
>>739611198Because they were right about mellennials too. One failure generation spawned an even worse one.
>>739608671Nah, most women don't marry down. It will mean that the fertility rate decreases more, and more young men are incels.
>>739610876things are significantly, astronomically different now
I get more playtime and enjoyment from a 12 dollar japschizo RPG maker porn game like CallGate than most big releases.Why would I pay 70 dollars for less?
>>739611714
>>739608582I wonder if women's attitudes towards welfare will shift if they become net contributors and it's their money paying for neets
>>739607749If you only release shit during the childhood of smbdy he won't be a customer for live.
>>739607749>everything else is more expensive so no extra cash for vidya>new vidya all sucks ass anyway>can easily access the full library of every old console for free through emulation>the few worthwhile newer games are all F2P with the only microtransaction option being gay cosmetics you don't need anyway
They are poor wageslaves whose only value is fresh zoomettes for big millennial cock
>millennials were ruining everything>now gen z is ruining everythingnot going to fall for it.
>>739607749I will only buy a game from steam if it 6 bucks or less. I have money i just don't feel like devs deserve it
>>739607749I'm not going to believe some random referenced "new study". But I have a feeling they aren't actually spending less, they're just spending it differentlyI'm sure what this shitty clickbait article meant to title their article is "gen z would rather spend money in gacha games and f2p micro transactions than buy overpriced AAA slop, study shows"
>>739612237>gen z would rather spend money in gacha games and f2p micro transactions than buy overpriced AAA slopI am not gen z and i already do this.
>>739609504zoomers were told for the entirety of their childhood that do not smoke or drink, this is what will become of you. and then they did. and now its a problem apparently
They all spend their money gambling instead.
Zoomiggers are broke, stupid and gay.*Le stares blankly at you*
>>739607998>Do the kids even play anyhting else?If you were a kid, would you play anything else? You're not going to listen to a bunch of 30 year old boomers when they say 'games were better in my day', so your main choices are F2Pslop and even sloppier AAAslopplyslop.And maybe the occasional indie game that your favorite Steamer played.
Zoomers spend on games they just don't buy actual games. They burn money on skins in f2p garbahe.
>>739608389Imagine being this out of touch
>>739607749>can't afford gamingThey can, we already know why they don't buy every new release. They tend to select a handful of games and put thousands of hours into those and pirate anything else they want. Which is based, and I have to say that so some mouthbreathing ESL retard doesn't take what I said as an insult.
>>739608613I love when you can just pick out posts made by people who never leave their moms basement
>>739612125Watch, it'll be Alphas next.
>>739608272>>739608687its actually because of bidenflation
>>739608686free free or pirate free?
Down to social media and smartphones providing the ability to be terminally online rather then pass their free time with vidya they spend hours mindlessly scrolling tiktok.
>>739607749Nothing new that is fun or exciting to play Videogames were exciting as technology and graphical & gameplay capabilities were evolving That isn't happening anymore. A game released today looks barely looks or runs better than one released 5-10 years ago.
>>739610428He's fucking right, you're a bootlicker sucking down GOP cum, DNC leadership is full of war hawks for Israel. There's no left wing in America
>>739612576you talk like a fag and your shits all retarted
Gen Z plays a lot of free games. Also, my generation is the one that created our current cultural hell. Of course we buy the slop... Not me tho.
>>739607749>Have no money>Live with parents into your 30's>Economist and industries wonder why you're not buying shit (because you have no money)GEE IT IS A MYSTERY.
>>739610369And that's the trick. It DOES drive down wages. Well, keep them from going up while inflation drives prices up.Imagine situation where a cleaner is paid 20$/hr because they cant get a cleaner otherwise: if you worked in a job that requires education that paid 18$/hr, you'd either demand a raise or quit to be a cleaner. However if cleaner makes 10$/hr because they can hire a desperate immigrant to do it, you're happy with your 18$/hr nice office job, having better terms AND nearly twice the wage.And this works upwards through the entire cattle pay column as well. Imagine the cost savings. Imagine the profits. Importing desperate immigrants who accept shitty jobs for shitty pay is the capitalist's wet dream. And the best thing is, the cattle dont even understand they're being robbed because "its the stupid immigrant doing hard work for cheap"
>>739614498IT SURE SEEMS LIKE A TOUGH CASE MR HOLMES
>>739614498If you live with your parents you should be flush with cash
>>739614532So why not punish the people who knowing hire illegal immigrants? Oh wait, I forgot, they're rich, and the law doesn't apply to rich people. Gotta punish the peasants for existing instead!
>>739614726*knowingly
>>739614726Not allowing such immigration would "punish" the rich so you're just deflecting.
>>739614726>Gotta punish the peasants for existing instead!You should be punished for committing crimes yes. Illegals, and those who hire them, provide them housing or handouts, should all be executed.
>>739614663that implies that you are working, not just leeching.
>>739607749>breaking news>peoplew ith less money spend less
>>739613434BothAlso just games in the $5-20 range, on sale of course.
>>739608815Class is a distraction from race for midwits. Browns as a whole have a negative budgetary impact for which we pay. Theres no way around this.
>>739610074Like most of Europe and every Democract administration.
>>739616624Who would have fucking thought right? Gee whiz, surely the answer is less housing, more unemployed, and war. Its the only thing we've been trying consistently for the last 40 years so surely it must work eventually right?
>open borders to own the billionairesleftists are so fucking retarded man
>>739613284Nah you don't know shit.
>>739618492Open borders is the only solution to stop the jews, that's why all the jews are pushing for closed borders.
>>739618928
>>739618995He's talking about the borders of one particular, post-WWII country.
They only play fortnite
You can't spend money when you don't have money.
>>739607749Elder zoomer, almost 30. If they made games worth buying I'd buy them. I used to have multiple games I was hyped to play every year. I can't think of a single one for 2026.
>>739607749>But why?Honestly all the zoomers I know don't game anymore. Most of them go to the gym or socialize more.
>>739607749>design game systems to keep you psychologically attached to games>surprised when it worked and now they arent buying anything elseThey have only themselves to blame
>>739608272>>739608613>We have retards that still believe in muh left vs right in 2026Epstein is laughing at both of you
>>739607749>even zoomers know the games are shitwhat's your excuse spendcücks?
>>739607749Rogueslop is cheaper and runs laps arounf the competitionAlso zoomers tend to stick to their specific niche of games or 1 live service or roguelike to spend their life on, compared to the more generalist millennial audience
>>739613689He's right and you're the type of arrested development 30 year old cuck who gets mad when a kid doesn't want to sit down and play gay shit like ocarina of time when he can play something far more complex in Roblox
>>739607749>But why?It literally says it in the second headline - they can't afford it. Inflation is rampant, everything cost too much, no one's making friends or having sex, and AI destroyed the entry-level job market.
It's simpleIf your game can't run on the Switch/mobile phones/1500ti PCs then the average player can't play it. Why are Devs refusing to look at the available market?
>>739619302He's talking about the entirety of Europe. It's been taken over by Muslim 'refugees' who hate Jews as much as their leftist enablers do.
>>739607749Is it compared to old gen at the same age or is it "wtf why people with more available income spend more on stuff"?
Gen Z is broke, obviously they can't afford to buy new video games.
>>739607749They don't play games, they play shit like roblox and gachas
>>739619984To be fair to zoomers, roguesloppa has been perfected for a while now. Understandable that they stick to one game they really dig.
>>739611146Alright HOW does this works exactly? Black magic? How the device detects who's "over 25" and who's not? Nice sci fi bullshit to keep the goyim in line with schizo delusions.
>>739621372>polfaggotry the post
>>739607749I don't remember the last time I paid for media that wasn't an obscure doujin nobody else would upload anytime soon
>>739610074>I lost, so importing browns is right-wing.
>>739608815Right wing owned businesses probably don't want ICE rounding up illegals. You're just calling every company that hires illegals right-wing for some reason.

>>739624758Just out a curiosity. > AAA games take way too fucking long to make now and they're almost universally terrible when they releaseSo, just checking. I'm not implying you're an idiot or anything. Thousands of jobs lost with a span of 24 months, legacy studios and publishers either selling, or merging. In many cases their assets are thrown in a vault and will never be seen again. Devs who have spent two to three decades in the industry can't find jobsYet you think the crash isn't happening currently? You believe you have yet to see a crash? I don't get your thought process, explain.
>gen z doesn't want to spend 80 dollars on the latest nigger samurai: the microtransactions or a digital copy of super bing bing wahoo 15 deluxeoh no the horror, better call them lazy faggots and make up some shit about ordering ubereats or drinking 15 dollarydoo matcha starbucks costa coffee why the fuck would i want to spend 80 dollars on some gay shit where i get lectured by every NPC if i can emulate ~40 years of peak vidya experiences on my laptop? for the same price i'd get disgusting garbage created by people who fucking hate me and my friends i can buy 10 games from my backlog on a steam sale, being 90% sure they won't disappoint me.
>>739610689The problem is boomers have destroyed everything and have now used the culture war to get gen Z to blame millennials and keep the boomers in power, which caused Gen Z to fuck themselves over under rightoid rule, since now they are allowed to own nothing and be miserable. Regardless, AAA is way to bloated. Scaling back graphics would do wonders for making games production time faster and cheaper too.But will people accept that trade off given they want more and more?
>>739619782>muh epstein What a unique free thinker Next you'll say jews rule the world
>>739607749>But why?because many of them are fucking broke compared to their ancestry, but still subscribed to fleecethedumbfuck.com and order doordash all day?
>>739607749But I was told that zoomers were the ones playing older games and making old cartridge games worth 10x more what they were 10, 20 years ago. The fact that these don't make line go up is making companies big mad.
>>739625949Gen X is the one that still had a lot of the boomer economy and job benefits growing up, yet are responsible for a lot of the modern world and why its so shit.
>>739624553noooo you don't understand you NEED to buy this 3k gpu so you can spend 80 dollars on the latest gay niggers in space (don't forget to buy the battlepass) and watch capeshit and go have brunch with mimosas and buy friends™ merch and buy this album on itunes and get the newest iphone you fucking zoomer you're just to poor

>>739609504It's slopaganda aimed specifically at making gen Z to be hated by older generations because gen Z is incredibly redpilled, their only flaw is their low attention spams because they have been put on mood blockers and depressants/antiderpessants since before puberty by kike pharma. So they want to alienate them from older people because they fear a competent leader that can harness their autism and direct it against the estbalishment. If you want to take a look at what zoomers are capable of, just check channels like Reckless Ben.
