AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Nintendo is still Nintendominating though.Keep coping, tard.
I think OP is a retarded zoomer. Steam has been selling digital only for nearly 20 years.
>>742427468>>742427693>N-NOOOO MY FAVORITE CORPORATION ISN'T FLOPPINGKEK, WHAT A BITCH
>>742427693but but anon they've made a mini-pcthat's commercial suicide somehow
>>742427759Who is she?
>Nintendo killing themselvesSubtle
>>742427821>>742427759Honestly Valve still deserves it's place there. Because the Steam Machine shows just how fucking bad the hardware crunch has gotten. PS6 is going to be $1400 for a base model that caps at 30 fps and has 300 gb of storage.Whole industry is getting raw dogged and gamings about to be your only hobby if you can afford it.
>>742427468Too bad the quality of their games took a nosedive in the last 10 years or soinb4 tranny, snoy LOOK AT THE SALES, I'm still having fun :), woke, seething, etc
>>742428129Honestly even if the games are good for any of these companies, everyone is so fucking fucked for the next few years it's not even funny.
>>742427320Only one man can save video games...
>>742428129In what fucking world did the Wii and Wii U have better games than the SW1? You contrarian fucks are helpless.
>>742428650The Switch's games are literally the WiiU games retard
>>742428523Who?
>>742427693gaycube selling for 3 times its actual price nigger
>>742427320>uncs think removing physical media = end of video gamesI genuinely can't be this retarded even if I tried
>>742428694The shitch games are the Wii U, the Wii, The GameCube, the N64... gamesBecause niggerdo makes 5 games and ports them to the next consoleActually now they make 2, since everything other than mario kart is breath of the wild
>>742428719Tricky Tony Foxington
>>742428523>deltarune... the last physical
>>742428523>Most popular indie game is an overrated glorified visual novelIt's so fucking over.
>>742427320Gaming is only dead for the idiots that only play AAA games. The indie scene is thriving.
>>742428858The splatoon direct was grim, all their games are starting to blend together>in metroid prime 4... you break crystals. In pokemon legends Z-A... you break crystals. In donkey kong bananza... you break crystals. In splatoon raiders... you break crystals.Not to mention raiders has the beacons for raids in the overworld which look exactly the same as the ones in the shitty switch pokemon games.
>>742429018>Entire existence relies on suckling the nuts of Steam>Buried under a mountain of slopcoded AI games or maybe some old company will decide to dump their entire retro library on Steam .5 seconds after you upload your dream game>Everything is derivative as shit of the classics, entire indie scene basically exists to "correct" the "problem" that tons of classic franchises never got yearly COD/Ass creed style releases, so if you're a megaman autist and want to play megaman derivatives forever, sure you're well served, but actual video games? Rare. >Entire indie scene struggles with 3D still, 3D games are either short, kill studios and cost 40+ dollars for an indie product, or use asset storesLiterally every single facet of video games is unraveling and if you aren't willing to admit that you have a cringe ass horse in the race of someone else's success
>>742427320Nice pic
>>742427876Sarina Valemntina, my beloved
>>742429214Actually I made a mistake, I forgor Mario Kart was also breath of the wild kek
>>742428129Honestly Nintendo hasn't made a great game in a while. They can still make some good games but they aren't the paragon of quality they used to be.
Somehow this is my fault
>>742427320I was going to ignore this bait, but then i realized it was a pro GTAVI thread that doesn't involve AIslop in the OP, keep up the good work
Dunno what's everyone so worked up about. We already have enough games to last a lifetime or two.
>>742428756What does 20+ year old console have to do with Steam?
>>742429863Not the kinds I like.
>>742429863what happens after we play through all of those?
>>742430060You can't be this retarded
>>742429863And do you have a lifetimes worth of hardware? Moving components like GPUs fail, data corrupts, discs rot, sticks drift. You will have to engage with this new reality eventually, even if its 30 years from now as you go 1 by 1 running each and every gaming device you have into the ground. Who knows what new horrors await, maybe future TVs will scan HDMI connected devices to see if their use is authorized, and not even let you use old consoles on them? Maybe you will find yourself spending 1500 on a shitty LCD from the 2000s just because it has no DRM to stop your consoles and fucking ROKU can't killswitch it. Even the best laid plans can fall apart. I have fullsets archived in mutliple places and digitally. But a housefire and my cloud storage provider getting megauploaded would still destroy everything.
>>742427320Is that sum OC? It was only posted 4 times so far.
>>742430440Yeh, didn't want to post it too much but it just kept getting lost in traffic when I posted it and I spent some time on itI didn't realize those guys shooting themselves were AI (or super badly re-edited) until I tried to put them in the image and realized I would have to redraw them from scratch lmfao
>Nintendo literally more successful than ever>people include them on hereVery strange.
>>742430812So you are an employee at Nintendo? You'd have to be to be having a good experience with them right now.Their fans are treated worse than ever and their stock is halved in a year. Even Nintendo themselves has openly admitted they don't want to be charging their customers these kinds of prices for hardware, let alone the other industry standard practices that have started to seep into the company. The only people who are involved with the company right now who probably feel served well are the employees who are getting raises instead of layoffs like the rest of the industry. But also; Inflation is terrible right now, it's probably more in line with a cost of living adjustment, still incredibly rare in the modern business world and good for Nintendo to do, but context is important
>>742427876>she
>>742430304You make your ownIn a cave with scraps
>>742430304A life time or two, plus there is replays, alternate routes, mods, challenges, speedruns. That isn't even going into multiplayer, co-op or entirely new mediums like films, books, music. There is more than enough shit out there.
>>74243031820 years old, 25 years old, same diff.
>>742431656You can't be this retarded
>>742430812>Tumbling back down to bankruptcy>More successful than everWhat causes this
>>742428047Basically, Steam hardware actually got momentum this time around with the Deck, actually managed to move the dial on the number of linux gamers in the world. And then instantly got torpedoed by the various crises increasing the cost of PC parts.Also it's less of a big deal but the steam sales have never been as good as they were in the early 2010s. Also, the discoverability Steam used to have when it was more curated was incredible and unironically launched hundreds of careers in the gaming industry. I absolutely understand why indie devs are frustrated with the current state of Steam being a dumping ground for any and every game ever no matter how shit because they end up drowning in it. Shitty part is Valve can't really go back on it because there's already thousands of slop ass games on Steam. Like, at least they added some AI disclosures and filters, but man talk about closing the barn door after the animals got out.
>>742432626I don't want AI disclosuresI am not an AItardI want "this game is fucking dogshit" disclosuresI don't want to see friendslopI don't want to see streamerbaitI want actual games
>>742427468lolz
>>742427320Who's the penis?
IT ALL COME TUMBLING DOWN
gta vi seems like a good point to drop out of gaming. beyond gta vi what even is there where the gaming community is collectively looking forward to? everything is pozzed faggot shit now and most IPs are dead. some indie stuff exists sure but no more system sellers
>>742433352Friendslop is literally fucking fine. I've never been so deceived in my life as I have been listening to friendslop haters. The only explanation I've come up with to explain the "friendslop" hate is contextless zoomers who only know matchmaking, forced 50:50s, eat hot chip, and buy microtransactions. They're literally just multiplayer games with fucking lobby browsers and often zero content/chat moderation instead of dogshit matchmaking. All of these games have public fuckin lobbies you can jump in right now and have fun in. I've put 10 hours into meccha chameleon and it's more like pre-CoD modern warfare 2 online multiplayer than anything I have played since. Im having a fucking blast, and if I stop having a blast? I quit mid game and go find a better host. It's bliss. And these games have a playable population so long as 8 fucking players are on steam looking for a game, even the ones that have "fallen off" have more than enough to sustain lobby based multiplayer heathily.These retards genuinely think they need 8 friends in voice chat to enjoy hide and fucking seek. "Friendslop" is literally just classic online multiplayer
>>742427876>el no sabe
>>742433615I wouldn't drop out completely. There's TONS of things from the past to play. It's okay to not look forward to anything but surely there's something you missed that might've interested you in these 40+ years of vidya. We have the tools to play most of them
>>742427320Americans voted for this btw
There's another option......
>>742428047Word on the street is RAM companies have been colluding and price fixing.
>>742427876>She
>>742433889If you play friendslop shit WITH RANDOMS you are a fucking subhuman
>>742428523
>>742435513>NOOOOOOOOOO YOU HAVE TO PLAY THE GAME LIKE MY UNEMPLOYED STREAMER "FRIEND" DIDAgain, imagine needing 8 friends in voice chat to enjoy a basic fucking concept like hide n seek
>>742427320>AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>742435764Tbh the entire hardware line they had going is probably getting fucked by this all as well
>>742427468their stock is down 50% in the past year, they increased the price of the switch 2 and were the first console manufacturer to make physical copies of games not actually physical because 2/3 of the library are game-key licenses
>>742427468?
>>742427468Back to bankruptcy soon! FAGGOT!
