Why did the West decide that catering to gamers was embarrassing?

Sticking to *just* gamers doesn't make the line go up, and the line MUST go up. That their approach to fulfilling this shareholder obligation was so terribly misguided was on them, but you must realize gamers could never remain the only market forever under capitalism.

This will mind-break chuds who genuinely are not emotionally intelligent enough to comprehend that people are making creative decisions they don't like, and it's not out of coercion. Chuds want to believe their values are common to "normal" people, but at the same time, "normies" are the ones who support the creative choices that they hate.

>the industry all decided that attractive female characters were bad, and I want to know why.

Here's one theory:

Games only grew when they sold more copies. So, if a game sold 10M copies to a bunch of young men and boys, that was great. But how do you keep growing? Sell it to the girls. Eventually, the market realized that the untapped female audience was one that could potentially help the growth of franchises and platforms. But instead of developing titles women and girls would like, they tried to build that appeal into existing franchises that they expected would keep pulling in the mainly male audience it had built itself on over the years. It wasn't like they were gonna leave cause of a few changes.

However, the changes kept happening and kept pushing further and further away from the male-oriented audience that help start the popularity of the franchise. This also coincided with the embrace of wokeness, slowly at first then quickly later, to help appeal to not just a bigger audience, but a newer audience. Because the original audience had gotten too old and targeting a younger demographic as well as the female demographic was now also necessarily for growth.

Additionally, these games continued to get more and more expensive, resulting in added pressure to appeal to wider audiences. A game couldn't survive simply with a small core audience anymore. I had to hit 10M plus just to be considered successful. And strictly appealing to a male only demographic didn't seem reasonable with that mind set.

Now, it's not hard to find products that did achieve this kind of success. Looks at games like Minecraft or Mario Kart or Palworld. These games are NOT specifically designed for male only players. They were built in a manner that either allowed more inclusivity or were original IPs. Taking Halo or God of War and twisting it to be welcoming to women would always have it pitfalls.

At least now there are better ways to monetize gamers with niche interests.

Life for a healthy heterosexual man naturally revolves around the urge to fuck as many attractive women as possible.

Games can be made for men but also be the most casual trash in existence or they can also be good and just so happened to also appeal to heterosexuals.

You are retarded. An absolute chimpanzee moron.

The publishers themselves are too blame but it's not because they had some weird sales pitch about opening up blue ocean of sheboon gamers but because they allowed a certain kind of culture to exist and eventually take over them. When microsoft went hands of for a number of years during Spencer's tenure, did it result in reversal of this trend? No. If you tried to form a company from recently laid off devs from all over the industry and told them female characters have to be attractive and niggers shouldn't be allowed they'd all quit on the spot because that's what gamedevs are like these days.

Of course, no one's saying that Marilyn Monroe wasn't sexy, but these people were still puritans, just like modern day leftists

The thing is that videogames were always primed for a jewish takeover because the intitutions were kike adjacent, to get a job in videogames you needed credentials which meant higher edutation which meant getting your brain pumped with bauhaus and genders studies. It was easy to make everything kiked because everything had been undermined for a decade prior.

This thread has gone on long enough, and I will now set the record straight. Pay attention. I don't want to write all this shit out again later.

-There is a clear false dichotomy at work here. We don't need "diverse" mystery-meat uggos, but we don't need blatant tits-and-ass fanservice either. There is an obvious balance-- so obvious that you have to be ideologically lobotomized to not see it: just make the characters conventionally attractive. Find a middle ground between blatant pandering and quota-enforced "diversity" and ugliness.

-Yes, there are grifters on both "sides"; they make their living by getting people angry enough to listen to and talk about them. This does not mean you have to pick either of these "sides" (vapid Internet tribal coalitions, really). You can condemn them both, while picking up good points wherever they may be found, and not getting dragged into screeching about how shitty one of the sides are (you'd be only half right: they are both shit).

Define "ugly". In your image, Faye, Mary Jane and Jean simply look a bit older. Like in their 30s. That doesn't mean they are ugly. Also you've chosen to use stills/frames where certain characters look really bad such as MJ. In the rest of the game shes normal looking.

These threads are always retarded American political fights on repeat, but I don't get this. How can you be on /v/, where there have been threads of people talking about panty shots or lewd models/sprites in games for years, and not understand that this is what appeals to some people? For some it's a fetish, and for some it's just aesthetically appealing.
Why do you need to degrade that specifically? If games are about gameplay, you can degrade fans of almost every popular game ever since the late 90s for being incredibly casual and usually talking more about the story or beating the game only a few times, but it's like you understand that there's a difference in tastes, and going into a HALF-LIFE thread just to say how casual it is compared to your weekly Doom UV pistol starting sessions would just be bothering people and achieving nothing.
Is it because what you call goonerslop is considered acceptable to mock now, while you'd get nothing from trying to seem like an elitist over gameplay? That just means you didn't come here to talk about gameplay or lewds in the first place, though.

And yet has also been known to reject less risque Japanese games for years, in spite of accepting genuine AIslop porn with no issue.

>But the problem is their attitude in demanding every single women to look like one of those ridiculous anime bimbos.
I don't care if the average new Western game has ugly hags, but I am miffed that there's less cute girls and panty shots in Japanese games. What you said indicates that there's people who want Western games to have designs like 2000s Western games.

Women became interested in the hobby en masse, during the 7th gen, because facial animation tech and voice acting became really good at that time so emotions could now be shown on characters faces and in their voices really well.

Then go play Western indies or particular mainstream titles which has that. The new Lara Croft design is much better even if not explicitly coomer.

And game companies don't care about appealing to them instead of towards normalfags. The video games industry is nothing like how it was in the 2000s. Games are being crafted for a much larger audience and in order to appeal to normalfags, companies have opted to use less gooner elements in games because normalfags don't care about said gooner elements that much or, at worst, are put off by them. That is the reality. You can't put the genie back in the box. If you want to play games with goonerslop then go play gachas, porn games, certain indies, etc.

And people here choose to voice their disappointment with that. Is that different from how people who disliked lewd things in games or Japanese culture were encouraged to mock and call for change in that, which they still are to this day? Though, that happened in part due to investor influence and a general push for sanitization of certain things on the Western side, which is what led to a culture where calling anything lewd you dislike, goonslop, is the norm. Isn't being negative about mainstream games at least an attempt to make a difference, regardless of how successful it'll be? What do you seek to achieve by telling people to give up?

The problem is that they don't stop there. They're relentlessly pushing for every single game to appeal to their gooner tastes even for games where it makes no fucking sense. You can look back on things in the past with a nostalgic sense but that doesn't mean you should be an asshole about it towards others.

Westerns have long fallen out of fashion in Hollywood but you don't see Westernfags demand every new blockbuster to be a Spaghetti Western.
>Isn't being negative about mainstream games at least an attempt to make a difference

As video game graphics and tech have improved, more people began to find the hobby enjoyable. So normalfags started playing games due to being invested in the gameplay, the story, the characters, etc. Coomer things and sexual innuendos don't tend to keep them in the games and in fact, they often push them off.

Video games aren’t even close to how bad television and films are. Just the other night I was in the living room and my parents were watching some show and I shit you not the plot was that a bunch of white boys raped a girl, and one of the police officers literally said something like “A whole generation of boys have been raised not understanding the concept of consent”. It was so on the nose. They literally have no shame in tv and film. At least in vidya we’ve got chuds constantly calling this shit out, tv and film industry seems to be lost.

Not with funding coming from elsewhere. ESG and woke publisher daddies and grifting taxpayer.

SBI insert leftist agendas into is funded by the Canadian government, devs hole up in Montreal Canada because the system is designed to be grifted. They have policies which allow funding as long as one of the CEO's is not white, so even a two man operation can grift taxpayer money.

You don't need to go to Canada to grift, it happens elsewhere (see Dustborn, Mixtape and Relooted).

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BLeckXoGmZs

"Relooted was made/funded/endorsed by the French government as a part of the French restitution agenda".

The companies compromised by taking ESG pledges are then told to hire woke consultants and censor, insert DEI and make changes for the modern audience.

Women aren't the big spenders in gaming, they'll just watch a youtube video of Resident Evil 9 and play mobile slop. You're appealing to anecdotes and ignoring the bell-curve. Even Capcom revealed as much in their findings.

>Yes but companies want to expand out of the straight male demographic which is why you are seeing them trying to appeal to others.
Taking away from the target audience (male), censoring male gaze, introducing women romance shit, dumbing down games so women can win is as retarded as a man being charge of menstrual cramps advice.

You can expand without trying to destroy a current game franchise by chasing women and trannies, the modern audience doesn't exist.

I didn't say that. I just said that a lot of women do indeed play video games and these companies are trying to appeal to them.

No. The market is more than just "male gamers". In fact, "male gamers" aren't representative of ALL males. Companies want to appeal to a broader demographic of guys and girls. And these normalfag guys get grossed out by excessive coomer content.

Similarly, the general difficulty level of games have fallen off because most people don't enjoy the grinding nature of a lot of older games. That's why so many games are easy shit now. Its also why new GoW was so successful with many male fans and female fans.

May or may not be a sequel in a male series, will need to undermine and buffoonify the last male protagonist. Maybe even kill him on camera.

What do you mean, the audience is still young boys playing Fortnite, waiting for a successor that isn't Roblox, but they're happy to stay on Roblox?
You've got it all wrong. Female is the future, because they have no children.

And it's extra important to call anyone who contradicts this a virgin incel gooner. Why can't men just buy these games boys won't and then not complain? These nails cost a fortune and I'm not paying for them!

You don't appeal to more customers by making things unappealing to the existing audience.
Make (new) games for troons and women. Don't trash games men like and call it progress and pretend these changes are in-demand and sellers.

You wrote a lot of shit but please keep in mind that "big female consumers" are Asian girls. Not western hag monsters. They might as well be different species.

If a girl is ugly or not up to standard in a female oriented game, in China, you're getting crucified. Your webm. The custom female protagonist in that game mogs quite literally every western female character in the past 20 years - yet she was criticized for having "broad shoulders" and "short legs" by the Chinese girls that played that game. They needed her to be cuter.

So when westacucks add disgusting female mutt hag characters and make them built and behaved like linebackers they're not tapping into any market or audience that exists. Pandering to westrannies is a death-knell and I'm glad so many retards in the west got laid off for it.

They've been in the finding out stage for so long, it's fair to assume they will never learn and continue their agenda.

Some of them are at the bargaining phase though and experimenting with the bare minimum they can get away with, trying to push the overton window to where they want it so the 'male gaze' is a b-cup DEI.

A banana taped to a wall, next to a pile of soup cans, next to a toilet, next to a woman's unmade bedroom, is not diversity in art.

If they're not making video games that i want to play then their employment is meaningless to an entertainment medium. We should be shrinking AAA's size down massively until we can reach a point of what older video game releases looked like. They keep this current system bloated and unable to fail specifically because they're involved with propping it up. Anyone that is passionate about bringing gaming closer to how it was say back in the late 90s or early 00s should have walked away already to end this long running facade. These people keep extraction shooters, battle royales, hero shooters, live service and all of the fat, excess and rot of the industry alive and that is why their fields must go.

>If what you said is true
It's true. If you talk about women buying media in surprisingly huge numbers - you're talking about Asian market when you dig slightly deeper. Californian triggerhags are just a loud minority - they are not profitable. It's self evident after all these layoffs.

>companies following your advice and appealing towards Chinese girls
Untapped market and lack of research. People are simply not aware. Like how when a girl series comes up and people get surprised when it's huge. Like Free, Yuri on Ice, Touken Ranbu and your webm which most people weren't aware was topping the charts for a while now. How many of you are aware of None of these have anything in common with ugly pozzed mutt trash you see made by the west. But all of these are counted in "girls are huge consumers." stat. They are. But they are Asian girls and media that they buy is not you ugly slop for fat mutts.

>They have millions of dollars of marketing budget
This really means nothing. Printed worthless dollars can't buy you IQ.
Not just girls, Chinese market in general took all of you by surprise because math escapes you. People were surprised when Lake Changjin was the most popular movie the year it released. People were surprised when Wukong became the most concurrently played single player in Steam history.

>They can easily research this. So why don't they?
Ideological rot. Normal person sees that Stellar Blade was successful (again thanks to China) and accepted the fact that cute girls sell. Smart capitalist will make a cute girl game too. Rotten mutt ideologue will get laid off instead.
Even pandering to Chinese guys is still niche let alone their girls. But some capitalists are catching on. Like what Total War Warhammer 3 pulled.

But you will learn.

The closest thing to someone with half a brain is Ibsen, and that's only because he was writing women's romance novels, and usually you can't even find that.

I could go on for hours but suffice to say nothing a man would want to read can be found within any bookstore that isn't ran by one Chud, and that one Chud's inventory is regularly getting firebombed by the Lesbian trans anarchist bookstore with a seven million dollar legal defense fund, so his inventory isn't great.

>Why did the West decide that catering to gamers was embarrassing?
When all the CEOs went on /v/ for a day and asked themselves if these are the people they want to do nice things for. Do you want the retards you argue with in the threads to have nice things?

i mean none of us here are making any games, lets be real lol. But only one of us will be obsessively reposting screenshots from games we never played. Funny enough, I've played and enjoyed the horizon, spiderman, and control games, but you'll probably spend more time thinking and posting about them over the years.

What freedom? You'd hunt down all the groups of people you personally dislike if you had the power.

I never understood why that angle for mockery wasn't used more often, the whole, "grow up" thing. It's obvious that leftists are very infantile and hold childish black/white morality views of the world, why not point to that instead of an obviously antagonistic "debate" over stupid bullshit? They call you incels and virgins and pathetic man-children all the time, call them babies back.

So you're saying that they'll make them hot if we just shut up?

Please. We all know that this isn't true. We're going to make it clear why we don't support them and why we're happy that they're losing their careers.

Everything is traced back to 2014. Occupy Wall St in response to banks gambling away our wealth. Banks and hedge funds respond with a divide and conquer campaign which includes Gamergate. DEI policies. Woke era. This causes in fighting between people. Banks and hedge funds go back to gambling shit away (see: GME shorting saga). Keep in mind since the average production time for a lot of AA/AAA games was between 2-5 years, it didn't outright switch over by 2015. They slowly started pouring in or changes were quickly made. Mafia 3, Wolfenstein 2, The Last of Us 2, etc.

Somewhere around 2008-2012 a change occured among progressives and other leftists where they no longer considered straight male entertainment to be a legitimate media category. They fundamentally believe it no longer has a right to exist and instead should be reoriented towards "everyone" but as we have seen over the years in reality this simply means conforming solely to feminist and female sensibilities. One of the reasons it was embraced so strongly was because the feminist culture warriors wrapped their argument in economic terms. This was all supposed to lead to enormously profitable games with huge player numbers, a thriving industry. It turned out to be a house of horrors, a living nightmare instead.
