Are Zoomers killing AAA gaming and console gaming?Zoomers are only interested in Fortnite, Roblox and other F2P slop and not in console AAA games.How does this make you feel?
>>743343160It turns out that video games really were just a fad and the only people who care about video games nowadays are uncs who grew up with them.

>>743343160Based zoomers and alpha killing AAA slop and consoles
Can't wait to pretend OP isn't lying for 500 posts
>>743343160TV Consoles should have died a long time ago. They have no reason to exist anymore. There aren't wild, divergent, experimental sets of hardware with real advantages and disadvantages.
I think this has some truth to itt. A zoomer who doesn't play F2P slop or console AAA games
>>743343160I don't care.
>>743343346Based fellow zoomer brother. What's the last game you've played? Mine was messing around in Half Life DM severs
>>743343428I've been playing Super Mario Sunshine. It's good so far
>>743343292they're killing anything that isn't roblox or fortnite
>>743343160Cost reward value is off as fuck with AAA it cost thousands to get a console or pc ready to play. Then it cost hundreds to get the more then one AAA game you have hundreds of shit games on roblox and F2P is free to get. Its not a hard choice.
>>743343493And I should care about AAA slop because...?
Been a lot of bullshit "zoomer vs uncs" bullshit lately.Is this the new wedge issue being introduced to stir shit from nothing
>>743343518Because... uhhh... ummm... you just have to, okay?!?! If you don't, you're probably a brown tranny redditor ESL zoomer
>>743343160>>How does this make you feel?Free to play crap was a mistake?
>>743343532Pretty much.
>>743343532It's the bump limit metaYou can also easily derail a thread by making it about zoomers
>>743343532Same as it ever was.
>>743343160>How does this make you feel?
Roblox
Traditional single player video games will die with Gen X and Millennials as Gen Z and Gen Alpha are not interested in those types of games at all.
>>743343518there are games that aren't AAA slop
>>743343532Everyone is slowly coming to the same conclusion on Israel so now there needs to be something new to distract the masses
>>743343160It makes me feel like zoomers are being based for once.
>>743343643More likely because kids are being priced out of those games.
I have no problem with this, the non-normalfags will search out the indie and smaller AA games, the normalcattle will stick to their F2P GaaS slop, and AAAshit made for retards will die out, something that should have happened a decade ago.
>>743343518Its not just AAA. The point is that literally the only game that Gen Alpha play is Roblox and nothing else at all and the only games that Gen Z play are fortnite and meme of the month friend slop multiplayer games. Single player games in general are at risk. Not just AAA single player games.
>>743343584zoomer vs basedllennial shitflinging is pretty funny but there are people who take it seriously
>>743343762so?
>>743343160Maybe cranking up the prices on shittier games was a bad decision.
>>743343751>the non-normalfags will search out the indie and smaller AA gamesthat's not happening either.
>>743343160If Zoomers get Steam Deck or Steam Machine and buy on Steam Store, they would be great. It's better for them, even in countries like Southeast Asia due to Regional Pricing.
So stuff like Resident Evil and Zelda and Final Fantasy and so on will all die in the next decade or so?
>>743343762Name 5 good singleplayer games that came in the last 20 years
Nintendo's only "big" game this year is Splatoon, and that's only big in Japan. Next year they have pokemon and I can guarantee they wont forecast fewer sales for that
>>743343857Yes. FF is already pretty much dead.
>>743343823oh so are you one of those people who does only play online shit?>>743343863There are 0 good online ones as all online games are shit.
>>743343863SkyrimSkyrim Special EditionSkyrim VRSkyrim on AlexaSkyrim Anniversary Edition
>>743343919>oh so are you one of those people who does only play online shit?no.
>>743343160I play genshin and that’s it. Perhaps if Nintendo let hoyo put it on switch 2 I’d buy one.
>>743343929>Slop>Slop Special Edition>Slop VR>Slop on Alexa>Slop Anniversary Edition
>>743343762Name some single player games that kids can buy on their consoles for a decent price, now.
>>743343160>Zoomers consume nothing but slop>they dont care for games that are not slop They get what they want, whats the problem?
>>743343972wow, who could've imagined that's how you'd respond. unbelievable chicanery!
No one here would care if consoles died.
>>743343160all oomer words should be replaced with gaymer
>>743343292>dude the heckin zoomers are killing le big bad goyslop now they're all gonna play my quirky trans gender depression indie pixelshit on steam or something o algo and not fortnite!
Zoomers watch video games
>>743344003circana doesn't have steam dataLiterally just making shit up by feeding steam charts to an ai chatbot
>>743343160What does a console offer me if I have a gaming PC? Exclusives, lol?
>>743343160>Are Zoomers killing AAA gaming and console gaming?The next 3D Mario will draw them in.Nintendo Triple-AAA will be the new Triple-AAA.
how about nintendo make more good games, pokopia ain't gonna cut it much longer
>>743343863DarkwoodDragon's DogmaFTLDead SpaceAlien: Isolation
>>743343845Sure it is, there are plenty of indie and smaller AA games that can still find success in the gaming industry.
Wtf guys I just looked outside my window and saw a zoomer kill a triple A game right there. Dragged that poor sod to the curb and shot it in cold blood. Did a little tik tok dance afterwards too.
>>743343160Once i got into CS, WC3 custom maps and a bit UT on the side i stopped buying games. Then there was the MMO craze long before Zoomers got on the internet.
wow you guys screencap twitter a lotand you only discuss the most popular games reddit is better
/v/ is completely blind to how much this shit dominates modern gaming. Like, I genuinely, GENUINELY need you to imagine how popular you think Roblox is, and then multiply that by 10.
>>743344343nigger do you not understand the point? there are still successful single-player games (and AAA games), they're just not played by anyone under the age of 25.
>>743344426Good, zoomers should be relegated to F2Pslop and the rest of the industry should contract.
>>743344420when I was ten all my friends in school played shit games like runescape and neopets and other silly online flash games. They all grew out of it.This idea that roblox is something new and revolutionary changing the landscape of gaming that is forcing everyone else to pivot is laughably wrong and a big reason why the industry is dying
>>743344420Well then Nintendo oughta reveal that shiny new 3D Mario with 40-year-old Mario and Gen-Alpha Mario teaming up to save Bananza Pauline.
>>743343991>contemporary AAA>games that are not slop
>>743344506Ok but then those indie and AA games you like will eventually disappear.
>>743344507>This idea that roblox is something new and revolutionary changing the landscape of gaming that is forcing everyone else to pivot is laughably wrong and a big reason why the industry is dyingSee, this is the fucking ignorance and arrogance I'm talking about. Roblox is 20 fucking years old, nigger. It's just insanely fucking popular, and the realization of the metaverse. You like a game? Well there's a store-brand version of it on Roblox that's free, but filled with microtransactions.
I think part of it is the state of the modern industry pushing games onto a mysterious modern gamer. If companies continued making good games, I think a modern gamer audience would have existed. But everything is just a dogshit live service title and agenda pushing garbage which I think destroyed any ability to get people on board long term. Millennial and boomer gamers are already neck deep in gaming with their expensive hardware and setups. They will continue playing all of their old favorites while cherry picking select few titles in the modern era to consume since it's just second nature for them to do so. Just as a Zoomer will swipe on Tik Tok all day, I will browse Steam and console stores looking around for that next perfect game to play. The new audience just sees gaming on the surface and it's fucking terrible.
>>743344507>This idea that roblox is something new and revolutionary changing the landscape of gaming that is forcing everyone else to pivot is laughably wrongIt also helps that Roblox is literally not new, it's nearly as old as Runescape.Hell, *I* played Roblox when I was in middle school in 2008, and I'm fucking 30 now.The real issue is just that zoomers and gen alpha are poorfags, secondaries, and don't actually do much outside of scrolling through social media to bitch about something they know nothing about when they're not playing Roblox.
makes sense zoomers are just niggers
>>743344596>culture war retard
>>743343160>Zoomers are only interested in Fortnite, Roblox and other F2P slopThat's on our generation for not teaching them right.
Behold, the only good game that came out in the last 20 years
>>743344507plus every retard in the world is trying to make the next roblox and minecraft and just wasting their time and filling the market with dogshit. stop trying to make games that already exist it already fucking exists RETARDS.
>>743344406kill yourself
>>743344637Prove me wrong.
Why are you people making these threads every fucking hour?Why do people wait in anticipation for them?Why is that everytime I ask this, no one answers?
>>743343532Boomer detected
>>743344426Baldur's Dilate and Queer Obcure E33 are not good gamesI can't think of a single good AAA game that came out in like 20 years cope and seethe
>>743343160AAA gaming killed itself.Consoles also willingly killed themselves by opting to try and become multimedia stations that were as inconvenient, expensive, and consumer-unfriendly as possible.
>>743344656they're not specifically avoiding "woke" games, they're avoiding ALL non-live service games.
>>743344591Insanely popular with who? Children and thirdies, two demographics with no moneyPeople always harp on about how less AAA console games are being bought when the reality is less AAA console games are being made. Dumb retards (you) keep trying to compare apples to oranges and make sweeping generalizations that don't hold up in reality
>>743344596Live service games and AAA games are the only games that are thriving. Nobody cares about AA games and indie games because it's being eaten up by roblox and fortnite.
>>743344708What? Are you esl? Do you not even understand what my posts say?
>>743344718Woke stuff isn't the entirety of my argument. If they were avoiding everything that isn't live service, then why is every live service slop released bombing so hard instantly?
>>743344570Unlikely, games will always be made.
>>7433446604chan is filled with schizos that continously make the same threads every day of every hour for the next 10 years. That's why their OP pics are always the same rehashed pics you've seen 10 years ago. This is the death of 4chan, nothing new. All rehashed bait.
Everything there is it experience in games has been experienced, it's time to move on.
>>743344724>Insanely popular with who? Children and thirdies, two demographics with no moneyThe kids get their parents' credits card and shit, dude. What a stupid statement. Imagine being in 1989, and saying Nintendo can't make money because its main audience is children.
>>743344570I'd argue AA and indie titles would increase with AAA dead. They would have less competition.
>>743344773Fortnite and Roblox are doing extremely well.>>743344794Who's going to fund AA games if nobody is buying them?
>>743343160This dumb faggot doesn't realise that most of those sells are people buying it for their kids
there's like, 4 or 5 AAA companies I would like to see not die just yetthat's about it, fuck the rest of themindustry did this to itself
>>743344843Again we're talking about all single-player games dying, not specifically AAA games.
consoles are pointless because you can just emulate them on pc
>>743343160Alpha fags will embrace the remote desktop because it will be a $99 screen and they can finaly play that gay as fuck kiddy land games again. With an AI that watches everything they say and do. it's what you deserve, lil faggot.
>>743344894Maybe in the AA scene, but indie will definitely still have games being made. It will go back to passion projects like Cave Story and Dwarf Fortress. Games will always be made.
>>743344824There was about 30 kids at my school who played runescape. Maybe three of them had parents who payed for the monthly membership that unlocked extra features. The majority were F2P.Nothing has changed, but retards like you think they have
>>743344660Okay, this thread is botted.
>>743344929>old man yelling at clouds about things he doesn't understand Congratulation, you're turning into the same type of retard boomers did.
>>743344950Indie games will have their entire gameplay stolen in Roblox in a day. AAA devs will have their AAA audience buying whatever games they release with less competition. The AAA games industry will thrive with passionate people while the indie game devs will suffer and die from their slop overwhelming them.
>>743344957News fucking flash, dude: Runescape still exists, and is one of the most popular MMOs. It's WoW, FF14, and Runescape. Roblox? Makes billions. I swear to fucking god, /v/ is so goddamn ignorant on this crap. You people cannot, cannot comprehend anything beyond PC and console wars. It's like it's not even a part of the equation for you.
>>743344848>Who's going to fund AA games if nobody is buying them?But people are buying them.Zoomers and gen alpha are not a necessary audience, there's a 16 year age gap between a 30 year old and a 14 year old, but by the time that 30 year old is an arthritic, alzheimers-ridden 80 year old who can't play games anymore, that 14 year old will be a 64 year old arthritic mess who's going to be geriatric soon.The things you're worried about don't really matter because even if no one under the age of 25 ever pays for games ever again, there are still large swathes of people over that age who will continue to buy games. My dad is fucking 61 and he still buys games, and we still occasionally play together.The games industry doesn't *NEED* endless swarms of ball and gunners or F2Psloppers who only play Roblox and Genshin, they are functionally irrelevant to the actual health of the market because they were never interested in *games* to begin with, only ball and gun and Roblox/Genshin.
>>743345052Oh, this was bait the whole time. I feel stupid even entertaining this conversation now.
>>743343160Happy
>>743345120You're a woketard tranny crying about your slop industry dying of course you wouldnt accept this reality.
>>743345057Because it's dumb kid shit that 99.9% people stop playing when they grow up. If they had access to something better they would play that instead.It's a blue ocean separate from the rest of the industry, just like middle aged women playing match 3 games on their tablets
Why are you guys talking yourselves?
How does it feel to no longer be the target audience?
>>743343160I know what kids play, but what does a 22 year old play these days?
>>743345246Nothing. They have no free time from trying to work and survive in this economy.
>>743345195Nigger entire generations are now growing up more nostalgic for this guy than whatever scrimblo you grew up with, and you're over here twidling your thumbs, thinking this doesn't have some massive ramifications for the industry.
>>743345246Fortnite and if you tell me any other answer I will kick and scream and shit my pants because I am a disgruntled 35 year old faggot
>>743344756You speak English because it's the only language you know ofI speak English because I canWe are not the same
>>743343160Purchasing a great PC/laptop and have free games with micros (that I’m not fucking buying) or $800+ consoles plus the NOW $80 games.Yeah, I know which way I’m going and most console games don’t interest me like they use to.
>it's the fault of the generation that has no money
>>743345309Anon, those kids were never part of "the industry."It'd be like me saying I'm part of "the comic industry" when I only own 1 comic series and have mostly just pirated shit.
Do you guys actually care this much about the younger generation?I've never seen anyone in real act this autistic and loud about it.
>>743345185So then why doesn't reality reflect what you're saying? AAA devs are constantly reporting losses and nothing ever being good enough on sales. Meanwhile many indies are making insane money lately. Way more profit than most AAA games get now days. I agree with you that Roblox and Fortnite are thriving, but why is every other AAA studio suffering? Releasing flop after flop can't be good for long term business.
>>743345420Again. You have the energy of someone sitting here, thinking some kid playing Mario in the 90s isn't "part of the industry." These people play games. They pay for games. They're the future of games. Being ignorant of that is just gonna bite you in the ass.
>>743345438I can assure you that while I, as a younger millennial don't care that much, the older generations absolutely do.Which is why the youngest person at my workplace is 30, because most of the older generations assume that literally everyone below the age of 26 is a knuckledragging retard with the social skills of an autistic 9 year old, and sadly, they're not too far off.It's utterly fucking insane how many retarded zoomers I've seen get fired because they literally cannot function without constantly consulting AI and having ChatGPT or Gemini plan their entire life for them, shit's utterly baffling.
>>743345438>Do you guys actually care this much about the younger generation?old vs young is good baitalso for some reason many people don't realize that videogames can just overall become less popular versus other media despite the fact you watched longform movies and books have mindshare chewed up by videogames
You lost, console gamers.
>>743345460> Meanwhile many indies are making insane money lately. Way more profit than most AAA games get now days.????Meccha chameleon sold 10 million at $5.6 They made a $56 million in revenue.Call of Duty makes about $3-4 billion every year.There's really no contest.
>NYOOOOO (YOU) SHOVLD CARE ABOUT MY NEWEST WOKE AAAFLOP HECCIN' ZOOMIE CHUDSdon't care, still playing 30 year old games, how about you make good games?
>>743343160Early zoomer and I pretty much exclusively play shit released from 1999-2008, new games just aren't fun long term. The last consoles that were actually worth buying were 7th gen and that was really only because thats when multiplayer voice chat peaked. Discord/good party chat killed that and the draw to a console.
>the vast majority of console purchasers are 35+ So... parents?
>>743345623>thinking 35 year olds are having kids at allHoly shit, you're so retarded and sheltered
>>743345559>I don't care but heres me caring and writing up my autistic hatefic about zoomers just like the other retards in this threadoh my fucking god you people can't be real
>>74334566028 year olds that had kids would have a 7 year old by that point
>>743345586Call of Duty alone isn't most AAA. It's something to lump in with the financial success of games like Fortnite or Roblox. Meanwhile companies like Sony, Ubisoft, EA, and Square Enix seem to only report losses all the time with nearly every release. EA is kept alive with their sports games. The other ones are constantly in trouble regardless if they attempt a live service title or a single player title.
>>743343160I don't really care since I grew up and found out about adult content, while AAA did not and still are just games for children.For me it's been like this for almost 2 decades.
Why do Zoomers play ancient, archaic and problematic games from the 90's and 00's instead of new AAA games thousands of developers put so much hard time and dedication into? Do they wan the industry to collapse???
Why are zoomers stealing my culture, which are childrens video games?
>>743343160No, console companies are killing consoles by being greedy pieces of shit and selling locked down shitboxes that nobody save indoctrinated retards would buy.

>>743345760>>743345807Is this a bot?
>>743343160Hasn't it always been older people buying for their kids?

>>743345387Huh?
>>743345876no sihr, this is Wendy's
>>743343160I'm not buying new AAA games either so rest in piss
>>743345225I have the power to call your post retarded while knowing that you are incapable of figuring out why you're retarded.
Why did Zoomers fuck my asshole raw, pump it full of spunk, and not call me the next day? Why are they assholes?
>>743345387Gaming is the cheapest hobby right after lingering around outside, you retard.

e>>743343160Zoomers didn't kill consoles, the engineers that homogenised them into PC's did.Why purchase what is essentially just a weaker PC with all the baggage that comes with consoles anyways ?
>>743345942>guy replies to thread>can't imagine anybody else doing the sameThe low opinion you have of yourself is probably mostly justified, but you're still overdoing it.
>>743343160>killing AAA gaming and console gaming because you're only interested in Fortnite, Roblox and other F2P slop and not in console AAA games
>>743345979>He's got money, but not too muchCOACH Z COACH Z ONE TWO ONE TWO
>>743346207It's not even that really, it's the lack of exclusives. Why the fuck would anyone buy a console when you can play nearly it's entire library on the PC instead? Especially when shit ends up costing less in the long term?

>>743346101Yea, I don't get how zoomers apparently struggle with gaming prices when a great indie game that'll last you dozens of hours can be had for $10 or less.I just bought a bunch of manga, and even buying from Japan it's like $100 for a full run of a manga, assuming it's 10-12 volumes, and that's not even taking into account shipping and import fees, which currently will double that cost.Buying the localized stuff is even more expensive, I think the full run of Ajin cost me like $120 on sale.
I just saw a Zoomer playing a PS1 game and my childhood just took an arrow to the knee.

>>743343231No, video games are bigger than ever. It's just that people who are content playing on a walled garden with shitty controls are just as well off playing on a phone, and everyone else is on PC since PCs these days just werk. Remember that back when the PS2, Gamecube, etc. were things, if you were gaming on PC you frequently had to find and install drivers yourself, hunt down missing DLL files, etc, it was a hassle that normies didn't put up with, today's Windows PCs just werk and even Linux just werks these days.
>>743346489>He actually thinks buying Chinese trinkets supports the authorYou would unironically be better off just subbing to their fanbox (fuck fantia) for a few months, they would legitimately get WAAAAY more out of it than whatever they'd get from whatever overpriced merch based on their series you buy.
>>743343160How come games dont cater to 35 year olds then?
>>743346674They do, it's just usually the Asian ones.
>>743346558Ah, I could see it being accessible there too. Makes sense. I'm mostly speaking from a western perspective.

>>743346101>Gaming is the cheapest hobbythanks to f2p games and cheap games*AAA games will die the death they rightfully deserve
literally no reason to own a console in the big current year. PC+Phone covers damn near everything that matters except vanillaware
>>743345979>completely ignoring how much more expensive shit isYour grandpa could buy a house while working through college and raising a family(all on about 20k a year!), little zoomy can't even do one of those things.
>checks out the OP>he's basing his response from "analyst"https://www.gamesindustry.biz/analyst-game-console-shipments-expected-to-decline-195-to-339m-units-in-2026
I don't care about Fortnite because it's a gameplay focused FPS game that requires skill(building)I slightly dislike Roblox because it's basically a platform for modders to make money selling minigames to childrenHowever I hate gachashit with burning passion
>>743343160>AAA dyingGood. The vidya I like don't need a lot of sales to make a profit. If AAA dies and vidya goes back to being more niche maybe there will be less dogshit on the market. I yearn for a market crash.
>>743343160gaming was a cheap hobbywhen gaming is not a cheap hobby then there will not be games made or bought
>>743346674Because them targeting also younger players is paramount to their business.Current 35 year olds still buy consoles specifically because they had ones when they were children. If you don't get them hooked young, you'll never get them.
>>743347024i'm more of a misisonarylyst guy myself
>>743346987Even fucking vanillaware is starting to put shit on steam. Dragging their feet of course, but it's happening all the same.
Zoomers and Gen-Alpha gamers will love the next 3D Mario if my predictions come true.
It's not that young people are abandoning consoles for PC, it's that they are abandoning videogames for Roblox. They may be playing it on a PC, because they already have one, but they are using a shitbox and aren't playing AAA games or games that aren't on Roblox in general.
i think AAA is just unsustainable because it's such a niche hobbynot enough consumers with younger generations playing f2p/mobile and uncs moving.on
>>743344507>They all grew out of it.That's my thought too since everyone seems to act like shit is static the instant you are born.I wonder if they have ever published or said anything about user retention rates since it's been around so long. It's clear that it's popular but I wonder how long a user sticks around on average?
>>743345246JRPGs and visual novels. Though most people I know really do only play online shooters and gacha.t. 22 year old
>>743343160>industry just produced super expensive slop that never lives up to the price>WHY IS NO ONE BUYING OUR SHIT
>>743343160from my perspective the vendors killed the industry. Blaming customers is a bit rich.
>>743346567I had a Windows 95 PC back in the day and this is so true. I crashed out on PC gaming as a kid, only to return in the Windows 7 era because by then PCs were actually usable as gaming machines, and consoles were just underpowered pieces of shit.
>>743346567>video games are bigger than everYes, live service games are bigger than ever. Single-player games are not.
>>743344601>zoomers and gen alpha are poorfagsNo they aren't. Most of them are just spending their money pointless shit like expensive clothing, fomo consumables and robux.
>>743343160Good. AAA gaming deserves to die.
>>743348256>expensive clothingwe buy cheap or inexpensive stuff tho(excluding foids) it's millennials who bought ovepriced limited edition sneakers in the 2010's. remember the hypebeast shit?
It has more to do with how expensive the hobby is for such a shitty experience >$1,500 TV/monitor>$800 gayming chair or HM meme that will always smell like farts>$4,500 GPU and ram for pc>$1000 console>$80 games with $30 DLC>Pay for house Internet >Then pay a subscription to use your own Internet to play online>All AAA games are trash >Trash indies that are metaphors for coming out or depression>Zero online communities because everyone else is dopamine hit gachas and shartnite
>>743343160>Are Zoomers killing AAA gaming and console gaming?They're based if they are>How does this make you feel?It makes me feel like a lot of industry bloat is gonna get what it deserves.
>>743344660>Unc is 36 still working a minimum wage job and getting mad over his precious childhood games being played by a younger personLMAOOOOOO
>its another how we can blame zoomers for everything bad episode
>>743343160it makes me feel great. Hopefully all this woke Tripple shit gaming and gaas will finally die
>>743343160based kids killing cancer like Sony, Xbox and AAA slop
>>743343160So true brother! Don't forget to buy the deluxe premium GOTY definitive edition of GTA 6 for the PS6 for just $200!
>>743348480Every generation gets blamed for whatever's going wrong in the current day. Humanity's been doing it since the stone age.
Circana here.Gaming is still huge and has grown significantly and while GAAS is definitely a cancer stagnating gaming you can't really just say 18-24 aren't engaging with gaming without considering tons of economical factors:Schooling is more expensive than ever.House is more expensive than ever.Compensation hasn't kept up with the economy for a long time.Console capabilities have been fractured to cheaper products (steaming media players, smart tvs, tablets)Navok is a good example of every c-suite shylock. Surface level understanding of the facts. He's the kind of ape that sees a green bar next to "extraction shooter" and demands the company make one (or five) while the market is saturated.
>>743348480Who was this gril again?
>>743343518You're clueless. If it's not a free live service slop with microtransactions, then it has no value to them.
>>743348684What kind of schizophrenia is this?
>>743343160ha ha ha ha why are millenniuncs such good goy paypig consoomer cattle?
>pictoseconds since /v/ whined about genZ-ers: 0
>>743348887>DeltatroonAnd I should care because...?
>>743348684what the fuck is a circanaalso you're wrong, they are their (parent's) money, they're just spending it on fortnite skins and robux. they can afford traditional games, they just don't like them.
>>743343160AAA Gaming is losing the younger audiences because its all too damn expensive now.
>>743343160Why play shitty AAA games on their overpriced console when that shitty PC they got for Christmas can play fortnite and indie games just fine?
>>743345225holy shit
>>743348887based zoomers not paying 20 bux for trannyslop
>>743349038>implying they're playing indie and AA games
>>743349004Because that includes all your favorite games. Unless it's some live service dogshit.
>>743349110my favourite games? half life, quake...wait a minute, 90% of games i play are older than me! why should i care about your troonslop?
>>743349110>Because that includes all your favorite games.my last favorite game came out in 2016 gaming fucking sucks ive bought like 4 games this decade
>>743349038They don't even play that, pretty sure they're fixated on ROBLOX and shit
why should i buy pixelshit made by trannies for 20 euroyenyuanpoundbucks when i can emulate REAL pixel games frm thoe 90's?
>>743349232>>743349038zoomers are pushing 30 they moved on already its all gen A
I dont believe this thread has been populated by real people with real opinions in a while.It's all just low effort bait saying the exact same shit slightly worded differently.
>>743349271>meanwhile in reality>ummm wait this game ENDS!? wtf!? where's the season pass? this game sucks im going back to roblox
>>743348709She ordered a Blue Waffle. She's Blue Waffle Girl.
>>743349389born in the 00's, never touched roblox or fortnitelast game i finished was probably megaman zerowho are you quoting again?
>>743343160I am ready to embrace gacha. I am married with a child on the way. I don't have time for games. Would rather just fap to gacha girls
>>743343160As a millenial I'm proud the zoomers are carrying on our legacy of killing everything.
>>743344420I geniuely have an absolute zero idea what this even isI also had no idea that some Elden Ring exists until people started to bring it up related to Total War Warhammer 3 as a cause of dwindling playerbase. It was a lie of course, campaign at release was simply shitI only play cRPGs and strategy games and look down on anything else
>>743343532They realized that millenials and zoomers were getting along too well so they had to invent some way to divide them.
>>743343532"They" are angry a funny shaped country isn't getting a lot of needed attention so they're planting d&c shit to stir up as a punishment
>>743349698>I only play cRPGs and strategy games and look down on anything elsethose genres will die out in like 20 years. the next generation is not gonna be buying that shit
>>743343160That zoomers are just the same as millenials that played CS 1.6 and COD on repeat. Better FPS games came and gone but the majority of you tards stuck to generic taste.
>>743343160Most zoomers are 30 or close to it. If toure going be ass mad, at least get your generations right
>>743343160they kind of killed themselves. no good exclusives and a console life cycle now is only 3 years. who the fuck wants to put up with that?
>>743343160AAA gaming died in the seventh gen and then indies swooped in for the easy $$$ while producing nothing that will be remembered in the future unlike legacy gaming. I don't know why this board even exists
of course the zoomers arent buying consoles, the last generation was when they were fucking 5 years old
>>743350069>Most zoomers are 30wrong theyre 14-29 rn
>>743350215Dang, eh, whatever
>>743343160They raised the price by $50 while games are $80, what did they expect?
>>743343160>kids born after 2002>get into gaming during their early teens>the easiest way to play the best games ever released is to emulate them on DesmumeAnd the rest is history.
>>743343160Zoomers and Gen A have no obligation to prop up your unc hobby.
>>743343160Retarded investors that didn't understand the industry, are losing all their money cause they didn't understand it's almost all millennials who buy them lmao
yup us zoomers are going to the cinemas now gaming is dead
>>743350519out of the frying pan and into the fire
>>743345979I still cant understand how the 97-12 range can be realistic, im 97 and people born in 2002/03 already had a different childhood than mine, how can a 2012 kit be the same?
>>743349231>ive bought like 4 games this decadeYou're as bad as the Zoomers
>>743350687>I still cant understand how the 97-12 range can be realistic, im 97 and people born in 2002/03 already had a different childhood than mine, how can a 2012 kit be the same?Yet you think people in 1981 and early-mid 90s had the same childhood? Yeah, you're a Zoomer alright.
>>743344507>They all grew out of itNow, imagine if you could make obscene amounts of money by playing Roblox? Would you drop it and "grow out of it" Streamers, faggots posting shit on tiktok and other short form content streams, people posting roblox content make insane amounts of cash because kids have zero quality awareness. They see the label and watch it and Roblox automatically gets put on YT Kids.So you have a bunch of 20-30 somethings playing this game they should've grown out of 5-10 years ago and this now gives kids the idea that they could do the same thing. Creating a self-fulfilling prophecy of the next generation thinking it's something they should never drop because they never get a taste of anything different.This is the real beast in service slop. The concept that you should never grow out of it and play something else. This is also why the newer generation is in this weird position where they think like toddlers, kids and teenagers all at once.>think they're mature>but still play with actual baby toys(as in shit for ages 1-3>try and talk mature>have enough sense to know being a kid is an easy excuse for any bad behaviorShit's fucked.
>>743349979You say that like crpgs and strategy games didn't already die out once before in the past
>>743343160>source: we made it up>hello I would like console>HOW OLD ARE YOU WHAT THE FUCK TELL ME NOWNever happened.
>>743344507>They all grew out of it.You don't grow out of being a faggot anon. They still play shitty garbage on their phones.
>>743351520>Errm me playing the same games I played when I was 13 even tho I'm 35 doesn't count, totally different
>>743343160for once I'm glad then, modern gaming is objectively ass and the sooner it dies the better. that way all the fucking suits and parasites can fuck off
>>743348887lmao they're not wrong about this one, fuck ugly game
>>743348256I can confirm I go 3000 dollars into debt over a pair of speakers Parents keep telling me to save my money but I spend it on stupid shit
>>743348146Bullshit, single player games when released are big. The problem is that they for some reason don't get released, studios just make more generic live service slop.
>make garbage slop that's also woke>price it for 80 euroyuanpoundyens>make fun of gamers on twitter>be surprised it flopped>blame it on evil chuddies>people actually start ignoring your game completely>DAA EVIL ZOOMIES DID THIS
>>743351810that'a millennials in 2016, sneaker culture has been dead for years at this point because people realised how garbage nike products are
>>743347024>>743343160where the fuck did the one in OP get the "forecasting fewer sales"? They projected even higher.
>there is no market for kid games beyond Nintendo anymore, and even those while kid friendly IS more tailored for nostalgic millenials who grew Up with Nintendo than actual children>Prices are too expensive for themYeah, no shit zoomers aren't playing them. No one's making games for them either
>>743343160When I was I'm school all I played was dota. I'd say fortnite, roblox and other f2p slop is a bit better than that
>Muh nu-newgrounds is le revolutionary!sure, zoomfag
>>743343160>PC prices skyrocket>consoles are just locked down PCs>act surprised when people don't buy a PC that can only play video gamesWhen I buy a smartphone, I expect it to do more than just make calls.
>>743348146Some live service games are big, the vast majority of them fail.
>>743343160Oh hell yeah!Cloud streaming here we gooooo(Its your parents fault for not teaching that you should own things, I dont blame the "youth")
>>743343632This is a natural response to an industry that has been putting out pozzed shit since 2016. Then attacking 'gamers' when they said they don't like it. Bear in mind that a lot of the time the 'gamers' the industry are insulting are parents who bought a game for their kid and then had to put up with that kid saying 'nigger woman in space 12 is fucking dogshit'
Game prices are too high.Zoomers play free to play shit and uncs play older games on a emulator or buy cheap indie games.AAA raises prices of everything further in the belief that you will own nothing agenda will include their corporations.AAA is dead by 2030.
>>743343160Yeah it couldn't possibly be corpos continuously excising communities and community elements so that they can have maximum control over their live service slop that they shut down after 5 years.It's not like the most popular games are mods, modding platforms or based on mods.Corpos killed AAA and console gaming themselves back in 2007.
>>743343160how else am i meant to enjoy a game if it doesn't have at least 3 different battle passes and a gazillion lootboxes?
>>743355117No ads in that picture disgust me.
>>743346567FUCK LinuxFUCK every autist that says it isn't unbearble dogshit for aspergers riddled retardsI should NEVER for ANY REASON need to use a fucking CONSOLE COMMAND to operate an OPERATING SYSTEM
>>743346674Adults don't waste their money on shit games because an advertisement told them to.It is absolutely critical that video games cater to children as a commercial product. It is also why I will never consider them art.
>>743355449>Adults don't waste their money on shit games because an advertisement told them to.
>>743355383>Being this upset about losing ad revenue because people aren't watching your 40 minute videos explaining how to use the "totally intuitive GUI"Command line is the fastest, easiest way to do something non-graphical and also the easiest thing to automate. Complete beginners can practically copy and paste from trusted sources or use AI proompts if they get stuck.Nothing is hidden in some random GUI utility like on Windows, it's just a file you can access if you know where it is.
>>743356052Not that anon but literally everything I want to do I can do on Windows and I don't have to muck around with the command line. If you're telling me command line is faster than just pressing the windows key, typing the first letter of something I want, and hitting enter, then you've got a bridge to sell me, I'm sure.

I am an elusive zoomer who you won’t find on steam charts but just with the Online blue. It’s because I am playing Morrowind nigger
>>743343160indie games had surpassed tripple-w goyslop sometime in 2020
>>743343532can't have everyone hate on kikesgotta steer up some bullshit generation-wars
>>743356840Indie games are the biggest goyslop imaginable.
>>743343160It's not really any different to me playing Dungeon Keeper and Worms all the time as a kid, if you found something that's fun forever why find anything else?
>>743343160i'm 29. It really is easy to forget that xbox and playstation at one point in time had huge, almost completely exclusive libraries (much like Nintendo does now, Switch 2 notwithstanding) and a lot of them were bangers. Now everything is multiplat, which i am not saying is a bad thing, but combine that with the quality of the average release absolutely plummeting and the literal existential point of consoles is just gone. Consoles are pretty much just way shittier pre-built PCs at this point with corporate guardrails hardcoded into them.
>>743356193>If you're telling me command line is faster than just pressing the windows key, typing the first letter of something I wantGod I fucking wish it was that easy on modern Windows. Instead you press the Windows key, type the first letter and get GARBAGE results. Literally anything but the program you have installed and God forbid you have another language installed, then it's completely up in the air as to which language it feels like using for autocomplete.>and hitting enterThat just starts the program, I can also start up commandline, type the first few letters of a program and hit tab to autocomplete with better results than on Windows(or use dmenu, or even more start menu like menus). Once you've started a GUI program you need to navigate the GUI, which can waste a completely variable amount of time..
>>743349038Is this fortnut??
>>743343532Generation vs generation is the only constant throughout all of history. We'd literally stop being human if we didn't shit on the new generation.
>>743343292Unfortunately they're playing gachaslop and roblox. Which is just as bad or worse.
>>743343346>>743343428>>743343483>I don't play AAA games>I play old AAA games, I was born in le wrong generation
He's right, my niece just plays roblox and my nephew plays pvp minecraft.
>>743358373Your niece finna get epsteined gng, get her off roblox.Also what the hell is that headline? Is that what the Danish be paying taxes?
>>743343160I don't blame em. 15 solid years of shitty AAA games almost every year. Very few good games, you have to hunt for good games. Keep being awesome gen z. You won't ever own a home, but at least you aren't completely stupid.
>>743343160ngl, the nu-hyper-cinematic games with dlc feel unappealing. It's 200GB+ no one should be getting things with dlc anyway. You know the 3rd-4th gen wasn't graphically intensive. The consoles even came bundled with puzzle games sometimes. Industry must be really mad. It's having a soul ig.
>>743358356I was born in the right generation. The generation where I can get every medium fo free, online, as long as you know the right Russians. The generation where every game that's worth playing, including console exclusives, run perfectly not only on cheap laptops but on phones(still not worth emulating cus touchscreen sucks for gaming). Plus-AAA is a recent phenomenon. Most game studios of the 90's and 00's would be classified as "indie" nowadays. Half Life was made by a team of 13 people. It's only after dogshit like Modern Warfare(2007) came out that goyslop with a gorillion budget dumbed down for the lowest denominator became widespread
It wasn't the zoomers and alphaGODs who botched gamergate though.
>>743343160Zoomers aren't killing anything, publishers are failing to draw them out of their comfy roblox holes. The kids aren't being offered what CoD 4 was the first time it released, they're being offered blops 6. I'd be sunk into some bullshit too if I hadn't already bought into the idea that there can be fantastic AAA games that I'll love.
>>743343160No? Why are we always looking at consumer demographics to point fingers at when it's Sony, Nintendo and Microsoft themselves who are killing the industry with their constant bad practices and boiling frog methodology of slowly rolling out anti-consumer aspects which give them more control. People looking at it from the outside see it for what it is and rightly choose to not opt in to this abuse.
>>743358427Don't sweat twin, she fat and ugly. Nobody grooming that.
>>743358745I agree, they'd rather get abused by chink companies and play gachaslop like Genshin instead.
>>743343856>p-please buy out shitty hardwareKill yourself
>>743358645Another episode of zoomers teaching uncs about their childhoods. What is this phenomenon called?
>>743358745A new generation of studios are rising. Right now we just call them shitty indie slop. Tomorrow they will be multi-million dollar juggernauts and there will be people on this very site wondering how it happened (even though it's right in our face)
>>743343160Zoomers may be better than millennials in this area, they're not falling for the trap consoles have set up for gamers decades.Want to buy PS2 games? Too bad, they're all out of production and no one is making PS2 consoles anymore, sony execs don't see the value in those old ass games either because they want you to subscribe to PSN and buy Marathon. Meanwhile on PC you can buy games that released on fucking MS-DOS if you want.
>>743343160If i didn’t hate zoomers as much i’d pity them.
>>743343160You can buy a computer and play every good game ever made for free. The industry has to compete with that and instead of offering anything compelling they just sell wokeshit and boring live services.
>console have no place with pc and phones everywhere>AAA genre is dying thanks to bloat, photorealism, generic 3rd person gameplay and propagandalong live gacha, indies and AA
>>743358881>console trap>spending houndreds of $ to play the best games ever madeYeah instead they blow thousands on phones and chink slop.
>>743343160It's kind of like the ending to The Andromeda Strain, in a way.
>>743358873Das rite, millennials were able to run PS2 games in chink handheldsMeanwhile even slop like Bloodborne troons over can be emulated on PC nowadaysfawn >>743358992>GachaBro thinks he's on the team :skull:

>>74335894787% of the games that existed before 2010 are not available for purchase digitally. If you don't own a PC at this point, it's because you don't like video games.

>>743358841I think you are blowing it out of proportion how many young people who could be potential Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft customers play gacha. The overwhelming majority of gacha players are Asian, especially from the SEA region. I also suspect that a large portion of western customers that we see in demographic data analysis are asian expats as well. Gacha has a very minor appeal to people who belong to the actual western demographic.Young people seem to be more overtaken by kpop shit than anything else.
>>743359267>Playing gachas
>>743359318I don't see any options to purchase these games. If I want to play these I will have to do so illegally.
>>743346567PC is better but PS5 game sales are always nearly 2 x as much
>>743359353>Caring about Jewish mind tricksEmulation is not illegal as you didn't gcopy illegallySharing games to your friends is also not illegalYou know what that means?
>>743359426There are many lawyers and lawmakers who disagree with you and actively support law enforcement that curtails piracy. You're being disingenuous.
>>743343160>console purchasers are 35+What about parents buying games for their kids? Does the data differentiate between that and adults buying games for themselves? The 18-24 range is broke, and anything younger would rely on their parents. Hell, even the 18-24 range would rely on their parents given the amount of adults living with their parents. Seems like the data would be skewed towards an older age range due to economic and social factors. If so, it's really a non-issue to get people fighting among themselves instead of focusing on >>743343702Jacob Navok even has the nose, so he can't fool me.

>consolesI'm 35 and haven't had any interest for well over 15 years. >>743359465>actively supportI suppose this would actually mean something if their support led anywhere. The good news is that it doesn't seem like it does. Probably because piracy doesn't negatively affect sales substantially enough to warrant more widespread interest in stopping it.
>>743359617The point being made here, is that the market isn't giving gamers any options. Especially for people who don't know anything about computers. This isn't right. People shouldn't be forced to only play the newest releases.
>>743343160Consoles are a millennial thing. PC's and Phone/Tablets should have killed off those walled garden pieces of shit.
>>743359680>the market isn't giving gamers any options.(((The Market)))> Especially for people who don't know anything about computers.Chinkhelds exist
>>743359641>I suppose this would actually mean something if their support led anywhere. The good news is that it doesn't seem like it does.

>>743359680>People shouldn't be forced to only play the newest releases.They aren't ;)
>>743359680I'd hardly call people who don't know anything about computers "gamers". Maybe my attitude is that of an ignorant elitist, but you can't seriously expect me to feel bad for people who feel screwed over by this when PCs exist.
>>743344003>Fornite number 1 still, Roblox on the list, GTA V still thereGrim
>>743359805Loaded up chinkhelds are a stop gap, currently taking advantage of lax trade law. It's not a permanent solution. Shenzhen will get fucked on that eventually.
>>743359326>I think you are blowing it out of proportion how many young people who could be potential Sony, Nintendo or Microsoft customers play gacha.Chinkshit gachaslop like Genshin and Wuthering Waves are always in Sony's top 10 grossing. When I talk about games with zoomzooms, 2/10 they'd mention a Chink gachaslop game. It's fucking horrible.

>>743343160kek uncs it took you a fat minute huhAAA slop is EXCLUSIVELY bought by goylennials because they don't know any better, zoomers play gameplay focused fast paced games like fortnite and goon to gacha whores, while alphies play roblox on ipadsbut the main point is that zoomers are fucking BROKE so they wouldn't buy this shit anywaynothing of value will be lost if AAA slop died tomorrow, I'm sorry uncs but y'all missing the point here

>>743360076>better without themI wouldn't go that far. Maybe the way they are currently being handled, yes-- definitely. But for a long time now they've literally been little more than second-rate computers. At least Nintendo understands that handhelds are where the console market needs to start heading if they aren't going to compete with PCs. It's a market that is desperate for innovation, which ironically the companies with the most money haven't been focusing on becuase it involves the one thing they are the most afraid of: RISK

Gen Alpha shockingly plays outside a lot. They play video games but it tends to be in between going outside. Very similar to how Millenials and Gen X acted only there are like 4 decent games so that's all they play.Boomers are unironically a doomed race.

>>743343160What became relics is just Xbox/PS. Zero exclusives, all multiplats are on PC, companies are finally porting shit to Nintendo so they have third party support now.
>>743360545>shockingly
>>743344110Unironically yes that is the better option.
>>743360673>>Black ops 1 and 2 annouced on PS>>You have to buy the game again at an unresonable price and DLC for EACH GAME NOT A COMBO BUNDLEThis shit is what's hilarious to me about console users, they keep rebuying the same games multiple times every time they upgrade their consoles and act like these companies are doing them a favor. They can't be helped.
>>743358873You tried to deflect with a nonsequiter because you couldn't address what that zoomer anon actually said. You got completely tossed and you lost.
>>743348709Nightclubber at a food truck who appreciated the sauce.
>>743343160most people have shit taste, I don't think it's a zoomer specific thing. Look at the most popular millenial games. World of Warcraft, GTA, The Sims, Call of Duty, Pokemon. At some point you have to be honest with yourself and admit that everyone has always been playing trash.
>>743343160I could imagine a future somewhere around 2050 where there's only one game called roblox.
>>743361068excuse me, motherfucker. I started with Doom and didn't have the sense to stop at UT2k4. I should have seen the signs on the fucking wall. But by then all the addictive gambling techniques were in gaming, and I was fucked. I didn't realize what was happening until it was too late.
>>743361089Tbf roblox is a platform for selling cheaply mdae indiegames
>>743343160>Are Zoomers killing AAA gaming and console gaming?WTFWhy didn't you guys tell me zoomers were this BASED?
>>743343160Nintendo are forecasting fewer sales of Switch 2 in the second year because their core audience already bought it, and they didn't release any games for the casuals. Think about it. Animal Crossing gets casual fans excited, it's one of the few games that gets people who don't play any other Nintendo games to shell out. So what did Nintendo do? Did they make sure there was a brand new Animal Crossing game to help sell their brand new console? Of course they fucking didn't LMAOOr what about Smash Bros? Or Super Mario? Or The Legend of Zelda? All of these series have salience to a casual audience, there are normies who have heard about Zelda or Smash or Mario before. These are offerings that actually have a chance at pulling random people into impulse buys or generating enough buzz to pull in lapsed fans and regain their attention. So what did Nintendo do? Did they make sure there was a brand new Super Mario game for their brand new console? OF COURSE NOT LOLDid they make sure there was a brand new Legend of Zelda game for their brand new console? OF COURSE NOT LOOOOOLDid they make sure there was a brand new Super Smash Bros for their brand new console? OF COURSE NOT LMAOWHY WOULD THEY DO THE OBVIOUSLY SENSIBLE THING WHEN THEY CAN JUST HAVE A WHOLE DECADE GO BY WITHOUT NEW ENTRIES IN THESE SERIES LOOOOOL
>>743343160While the AAA industry is a place both consumers and developers should steer clear nowdays, it can't really die off, just diverge into online gatcha slop as everything goes into the melting pot together. Damaging it is good, like, I like it, you might like it, but it doesn't really change anything in the granc scheme of things. I feel indifferent.>>743343231I dunno about the fad part, but generally video games are mostly something that is inherently the "90's generation's" thing. Or at least the vast majority of the audience (excluding online slop and gatcha games) is 30+, ie, people who were born/grew up in the 90's.
>>743343231>only people who care about video games nowadays... aren't on console to begin with.
What's kind of grim is that what's replacing video games isn't another form of immersive, interactive entertainment that requires reflexes, decision-making, competition… but social media "content". You know how people joke that /v/ users don't play video games because they'd rather spend their time shitposting? Now imagine this as a global phenomenon, affecting normalfags who, instead of shitposting, passively consume shitty "content", a phenomenon that manages to make people even dumber than old-school TV did…Video games, in this reality, would be a minor anomaly, a brief period when people broke free from passive consumption and the brainwashing of television, turned to something more creative and engaging for a while, but then returned to the brainwashing, now in an even more brain-dead form.
>>743343160Its almost like consoles have gone out of their way to shit the bed and kill their only advantages over PC for the past 15+ years. Of course they run on nostalgia now. I myself am 35 and havent bought a console in like 10 years. Why the fuck would I when there are almost no exclusives outside bing bing wahoo and they killed almost all forms of couch co-op while still forcing me to pay a subscription for my own fucking internet? Give me a single reason why I shouldnt just get everything off steam. Not to mention the absolute state of AAA gaming has led me to not getting any AAAslop in a long fucking time.
>>743343762Although it's very bad for the young kids, to be sheparded like that into a singular reverse-honeypot, I don't care, because there will always be people who are passionate about games that will keep making singleplayer stuff, be it indie or otherwise, so we'll do fine in our lifetimes at least.
>>743360545Because people saw how fucking horrible zooms turned out from lazy gen Xers raising tyheir kids on Ipads, so they are going tut of their way to not let that happen. I have a 2 year old with another due in october, and the vast majority of parents I speak with at the park and such are very adamant on making sure they play outside a lot, have very minimal screentime, and read a bunch. Anecdotal sure, but its looking a whole hell of a lot better than how zooms had it. Then again, my kids are on the line of Alpha and Beta so, who knows
>>743362052Parents end up giving in because tablets and phones keep the kids quiet and give them some peace and quiet.Back in the day, in families of five or more, the kids were pretty much always entertaining each other, so parents didn’t have to pay as much attention to them, but today, with so many small families, kids always turn to their parents for human interaction.
>>743343160Maybe yall should have paid them. What makes you think they can afford things
>>743362223I mean I get the feeling, trust me. Its why I let my kid have an hour of sesame street each day, simply because I need some time to do basic shit like washing dishes and such. But its only ever really bad on the days where they are super needy and want to be held half the day. But thats 2 year olds. The trick is to realize that toddlers havent seen most things in the world and love tasks, so even something like having them separate rice colored by food coloring into separate bowls takes up 10+ minutes.
>>743362223Its called being poor. Alcohol also is entertainment, the malt liquor variety
>>743343740Wait what?What is going on?
>>743361630Its called wallpaper engine and it works great with the 3D in VR
>>743362595all me
>>743343160nahaaa is doing a fine job doing it by itselfthe developers and suits have lost the plot entirelylet the new and upcoming developers take over
>>743362223it has nothing to do with the family size. it's just that 30+ years ago you couldn't hand them a one size entertains all device and call it quits.
>>743363012It was called the Playstation 3 and it was my favorite bootleg machine until megaupload went down
>>743363079>30+ years ago>PS3
Hot take: this is perfectly normal. Zoomers got ruined by the gta severe marketing spam and now they believe a single game is all that it takes. I had to explain to my nephew that he was having fun with burnout because that is a racing game, unlike gta, and usually you cannot get the driver outside of the vehicle. A small price to pay for a better, more focused experience. Roblox is infinitely better than gta for a kid and can support different playstyles. It is that easy, they fucked themselves as always.
>>743363220Wasn't out of high-school yet, sounds about right
>>743363513Gta 5 is unironically the best racing game for like the past 3 gens. Its more close to real life physics than police would want people to admit to
>>743363791It would surprise me if this is why we haven't had a new gta since
>>743343160>the vast majority of console purchasers are 35+Children typically don't buy their own consoles, on account of having no money. Many of those purchases are parents. Fucking moron.
>>743343292this
>>743345225That kid is going to make some chick VERY happy one day.
>>743360437>the absence of willingness to fight itYou fell for clickbait, retard. Roblox is constantly banning pedos, they have an entire team dedicated just to banning pedos.
>>743344708>I can't thinkSums up your post.
>>743343160Pretty sure it was Larry who ruined gaming for everyone
>>743343643>elden ring released as 60$ and required a playstation 4 (priced at under 200$ at the time)>nioh 3 released at 70$ and was unplayable on anything less than a ps5 or high end recent gaming rig, the former being $500+, and the latter exceeding $3000+)>monster hunter wilds released under the same conditions>mario kart world released for 80$ on a near $500 machine with 3 new games for it, no flagship zelda, no flagship mario, terrible 3rd party supportgee i wonder why people arent getting into gaming these days, must be "a difference in interests" and not the insane price bloat bundled with thousands of dollars of microtransactions, battle passes, DLC, etc. released with each game with a buy in price close to a thousand dollars in an era of financing a fucking pizza
>>743358873No, he's actually somewhat accurate.>Most game studios of the 90's and 00's would be classified as "indie" nowadaysSkyrim's entire team and budget was smaller than most MARKETING DEPARTMENTS of modern AAA games. The bloat is insane. SKYRIM, the game that was defined at that time as a huge bloated expensive AAA thing, is economical in comparison to far inferior games.90s and early 00s games were better, but lots of shit gets called "indie" that is similar in size to those old dev groups.>>743358992>long live gachaKill yourself
>>743343160Probably doesn't help that the cheapest entry point is $500 starting in September and the others are $650-$900 range to ultimately get get games that are $70+ before DLCIt's pretty much impossible to turn back the hands of time at this point to get back to PS2 affordability where it was like $200 but had a good DVD drive on it and unique catalog of exclusives, or how Nintendo used to make handhelds that were $50-$100 in the same time period with $30 games that had actual bite to them.
>>743345420Yes they are you fucking moron. Do you even understand why the new FOTM low effort friendslop makes a billion dollars every other month? Because that's what the kids who grew up playing ROBLOX are nostalgic for. Their entire childhood video game experience was low effort friendslop ROBLOX games and now they're buying those games on Steam. If you don't think that has any effect on the industry then you're a clueless retard and you can just keep your dumbass mouth shut.
>>743364136Lol robux is the currency of choice for them. They're just doing the bare minimum to keep their bank from closing
>>743343160>Zoomers are only interested in [shit they don't need to pay for]>How does this make you feel?Make me feel like the boomer-owned economy has finally reached its conclusion.
>>743343160>millennials get to see everything they love killed by the next generationServes you right.
>>743364268$500 was with MKW or other games included. Parents just buy their kids a shitty smartphone and let them enjoy brainwashing and brainrot 24/7
Console gaming is a fucking awful deal and it keeps getting worse.It doesnt surprise me that a lot of the console buying these days is driven by nostalgia, and that new kids without that attachment simply dont get sucked in by those anymore.Entering with the NES-PS2, in truly great console times, will have a way different psychological effect than starting with the PS3-5. Everything is on PC, you dont get raped as hard on PC.There's even more viral schoolyard topic friend slop on PC. You wont get the new fad game exclusive on the playstation 5 thats not gonna happen. Its either PC or MAYBE Switch2 but thats a different can of worms.
>>743361364>it can't really die off, just diverge into online gatcha slopin the longer timescale, even this will be a temporary outcome once AI becomes powerful enough to shit out whole GTA6-scale projects. and it's only a matter of when, not if. you will soon be able to create a whole bland looking city with different weather patterns in a week in the next Unreal Engine version powered by AI agents. now think that times a million in 2040.
>>743343160>born in 1980s>grow up with nearly 40 years of games>current year you are starving for any new form of novelty that makes you feel like a kid again or comparable >born 2000s>grow up with less than 20 years of gaming>have nearly 40 years of content to visit and play>most of it is also very cheap and dense with content >no need to buy new games at high prices This isn't a science anons, in the last couple of years my teenage nephews discovered Dark Souls, OG Dead Space, Dragon Age Origins, and Fable on summer sales not even spending $60 for all of them, they loved those games and are still digging around at titles that existed long before they were born, why the fuck would they be wasting their money on $80 titles? More so for how shit awful most of them look anymore.
>>743364418Factoring in inflation $200 in 2001 is the same buying power as $400.00 right now So it hasn't changed that much in cost, what has changed is all the other choices. Back in 2001 you had very few free to play options and they were usually flash game trash. In 2026 however you can get swaths of game of decent quality for free.
>>743365839bringing up inflation is nonsense as peoples wages havent kept up at all.
>>743343231GOD, I FUCKING WISHDo you have any idea how much better video games would be if normalfags didn't give a fuck about them? If this shit wasn't generating billions of dollars in revenue on a yearly basis? If shareholders fucked off and stopped poisoning the well of any and all publishers with actual fucking resources?GODIFUCKINGWISH
>>743365924Buying power is quite misleading isnt it? Your 200 dollars is just as hard to get but worth less
>>743343160No one gives a shit anymore what Playschool PC you own, hell no one gives a shit at all what you own, so these markets start to warp quickly to it and it's what leads to youth not even wanting Pokemon cards but you see a line of 40yo men lining up before stores open. Propaganda just isn't working on the youth anymore and it look like the Millennials were the last batch of suckers.
>>743364493The thing where any number of friendslop on roblux is "not part of the industry" but you see Meccha Chameleon and it's suddenly "part of the industry", this will sound like a hot take, but it's pure marketing brainrot effect. It's objectively all places selling (cheap?) games. Suppose Xbox is writing the news articles, and coincidentally Xbox competitors are framed as (not the industry). There's a bias that comes with it.
>>743366304>and it look like the Millennials were the last batch of suckers.It is crazy how millenials have identified their entire personalities around the media they consumed as children. So many anons here gloating about being there for pokemania (convincing your parents to give their money to middle aged Japanese salarymen).
>>743366102These are slow moving ships anon, the normalfags haven't cared for at least the last decade but who's going to tell those shareholders that Concord won't make the money they want because the live service market isn't as large as they think? No they will just keep lying and keeping people fooled such as yourself into think there is this invisible mass that plays things other than sports games, as well as gun and ball. Always remember propaganda isn't to make you do anything, it's just to make you think that is what other people are doing.
>>743365839Now there's a subscription involved. A decade gen means yearly subscription x10 for cost of the system itself. I dont remember the price but that likely puts overall costs in the thousands.
Why is this dogshit thread still up?
>>743366471pokemania was also very social specifically irl. its not a genius observation that nintendo made money off it.
>>743366886Someone hurt your feelings anon?
>>743343762>>743343919>>743348146Why should I care about playing your soloslop? Games are meant to be played with other people. No one plays football by themselves. Does beating up a CPU make you feel cool?
>>743343532Retard. Shit like class wars is just a distraction from the generational war. The fundamental divide in society is between age groups that all compete for the same resources but do so from unequal positions and with unequal intentions.
>>743343857Final Fantasy is definitely dead with zoomers and younger. The franchise is just known as being weird anime games that want to be movies with 2000s Hot Topic aesthetics. I think the only way to revive it, is to go back to ancient times and play the fantasy straight. Cecil and Kain days. The modern weird mix of fantasy and modernity doesn't appeal to players.
wtf i love zoomers now?!
>>743349698>I only play cRPGs and strategy games and look down on anything elseOther people play games that aren't autism containment chambers.
>>743343532They need engagement and most here are old and unwanted. The last thing they want to think is the youth will have it better than them and are better. So they just larp as kids like they use to larp as women ten years ago as a means to get replies out of the lurkers here.
>>743343857Resident Evil will survive because zombies will stay relevant for normgroids forever.
>>743344824There's a reason that when Sony entered the market with a specific aim at appealing to adults, they smoked Nintendo so badly that Nintendo never recovered. Even the Switch is an adult console. Kids aren't loving stuff like Breath of the Wild, in the same way that adults loved it.
>>743343160No surprise, not even going out for a beer woth friends is cheap, much less consoles and games. Gaming is cheap is you have a good enough PC, big if
>>743343428What the fuck I was playing Half-Life DM like 2 weeks ago just on a whim.I'm 33 though.
>>743345329You speak English because your culture is irrelevant and never achieved anything of note.

>>743369328>>743369387Sure kid.
when i was in highschool i bought a 1 year old current console (used but perfect condition) with a game for $120. later i bought a brand new current console with a new sealed game for $150. then i got to play every game i wanted to from all the current consoles for a $10 a month subscription to my local video rental store.right now the ps5 is 6 years old and a used one costs more than both of those combined with no games included or in general
>>743343160Good. Consoles are the cancer killing games.Modern consoles anyway the older ones were fine.The real issue is your consoles keep doing fucked up anti customer shit and you keep giving them money anyway so the other impressionable retards in the c-suites think its ok to try that shit in the PC space too.Is there a line in the sand for you people? Is there actually a real fucking point when you assholes say enough is enough and ask for the console dick to be removed from your anus? A point when you say 'no i will not pay a subscription to use my own Internet that i already paid for!'? Do you ever think of not giving somy your cash after they nuke your film collection or not buying another overpriced and half qsses Nintendo remake? Does it ever occur that maybe not giving a patent trolling indie developer abusing fan suing company like Nintendo more money is a bad thing?Id mention xbox stupidity but its irrelevant nobody buys xbox aside from doorknob licking imbeciles.But seriously console fags whats your point of enough is enough?
>>743369096>If they were good people would play them.Weird metric to have. Gaming is inherently a consumerist normgroid interest with the 7th gen. Obviously that core demographic will be more interested in new products compared to old products regardless of other factors. Like never mind the amount of people playing Chaos Theory in 2026; how many are even playing Bloodborne in 2026 despite emulation progress? The palpable disparity in quality between the best modern games and the best from 1992-2006 is so disgusting that the only way the modern gamer is able to deal with it is just by dismissing everything that came before they started being conscious of the world. I get it, we're all here for only a limited time and no one would ever want to believe theirs is a considerable step down, but the sky is still blue even if you hate blue.
>>743369801That's cool and all mr highscool psychology student but Tetris is better than every single game in that picture and it's older so try again.
>>743344596i think most gamers settled into their franchise of choice. i primarily play shooters and racing games, and i ocassionally play action rpgsof said shooters, i play battlefield primarily, and skip a lot of call of duty games. cod vanguard was the last fun cod for me because of how batshit broken some of the things in that game were. combined with how terrible the maps were, it felt more like a shitpost of a cod than anything. i'd just hop on to mow people down with a 2 shot kill bren and then run enemies over with that stupid landship RC-XD. how on earth did they think any of that was a good ideabattlefield is battlefieldracing games, i've stuck with forza motorsport and wreckfest for the past god knows how long, and ballisticNG to play with you fuckersi rarely get lost in modern games. i think cyberpunk was the last title i really sunk myself into. vintage story was the only outlier, and again, it was to play with you fuckers (and i yearned to return to the mines; its just minecraft with more steps)i guess im what you described as a millenial gamer. i wonder how console / pc use is among different generationsmost modern games aren't shit i would enjoy as i'd rather stick with what i know i like - drivin and shootin - rather than try newer things which i may not like
>>743359951The gamer population growth literally fucking cratered immediately after gamergate
>>743343160kek lmao nobody I interested in console games any more
>>743369405>just wanna clarify that i'm not owned right now. yea u won or whatever but i'm not owned, i'm actually very calm rn
>>743343231No, just certain form factors of vidya. Outside of a few ball and gun hits (or jarpigs for the east) kids today play Roblox slop (or gachas) on their phone and call it a day, consoles/PC's are becoming hobbyist relics while the industry now focuses on trying to be the next GaaS hit or something effortless.
>>743370119If you want the last reply just ask.

>>743370573>"retarded" typically refers to engine timing. It means the spark plug fires later in the combustion cycle (after the piston reaches top dead center) rather than before it. This is done to prevent engine knocking or to compensate for high boost in turbocharged engines.
>>743343160This is why Nintendo is heavily investing into theme parks and movies
>>743370573wow
>>743343160If given the choice, kids prefer to play Fortnite on a real, non-mobile console like the Playstation 5 over playing on a shitty smartphone. However, buying a million dollar Fortnite machine just isn't a worthwhile investment for most parents when there's no other exclusive fucking games that may interest children.X-Box may have gone down first, but Playstation faces the same crisis:>kid-friendly games are on Nintendo, smartphones and sometimes PC (Minecraft)>teenage & adult games are on PC >people only buy your console to get their annual digital opioid like Asscreed or FIFAJust buying a cheap laptop or desktop computer for your child makes much more sense because of the miriad of other shit you can do with it.

Why would little zoomie care about endless remasters and remakes of long dead series?Mobile gachaslop and fortnite and roblox are all free and they can play it off their phone, they don't need a console or to buy it or an online sub or any of that shit to get hooked into it.
>>743373014Zoomers aren't averse to spending money they don't have, half of them are hooked on betting apps or microtransactions in gacha games. They just aren't buying into AAA or console ecosystems anymore. Their spending habits are different from millennials and that makes economic analysts upset because now they have to figure out what zoomers want and cater to them if they want to continue making money, hence the weird barrage of articles blaming zoomers for all and sundry, millennials and gen X got it too.Unironically a societal case of Old Good New Bad.
>>743365452I mean, I won't care. As AAA is not for me NOW, I imagine that it won't be for me then aswell, so I just point and laugh vicariously.

>>743343231God if only. You’re half right in that we uncs do care about the medium. The onslaught of new customers have dropped the standards so far as our hobby became a capital I industry that it may be impossible to recover. I don’t really mind since I have old games that I like and I’m fascinated with observing social decline.
We need a neo-soloslop. Something akin to a nu alttp and Oot. A soloslop adventuring experience. Then the niche is filled.I mean, Co-op existed since Saturn, that's why it has multiple controllers. duh. So does multiplayer. So did f2p or puzzles.

>>743358645MGS1 was very much a AAA game back when it came out. The devs weren't relying on kickstarter. They were salaried employees and would float between Konami's projects where they were needed. Call them AA if you want by today's standards but indies don't make any money until the game is complete and that's just not true for games like Mario Sunshine.

>>743373014>You can't blame a zoomer for not giving a fuck about a new FF game when he wasnt even alive when the last good one actually worth playingMaybe if they made a new mainline FF every few years instead of every seven they wouldn't have this issue. Imagine being a kid, playing a game in a new franchise, having a blast, playing over and over, then the sequel doesn't even get announced until he's in high school. How are they going to get kids to give a shit about IP when they might release TWO at the most during the time they're most likely to play? Meanwhile millenials could see consistent biannual releases for big franchises, only a few years between passion projects, entire trilogies in a single console generation. No wonder everybody fucked off to live service since most "beloved" gaming IPs have been irrelevant since gen 8
>>743378171*obviously talking about kids and single player btw. Live service are doing fine, ball and gun niggas are uncs atp
