This isn’t fair. How could this happen? Don’t Nod was one of the best and most creative western developers. So why did they go out of business? Did Jared Kushner, Saudis, and capitalism do this?
>Did Jared KushnerNo>Did the SaudisNo>Did capitalismYes, capitalism did it. They didn’t sell enough copies of their games to turn a profit. Since they weren’t able to turn a profit, they couldn’t pay their employees or fund a new game to try and sell so they went out of business
>>750479282only good game they did was LIS because the girls were cute and wifeable and there was lots of porn. whos the ugly black woman on the left? no doubt theyre dying
>WHY DIDNT ANYBODY BUY MY GAME?!?!!?why indeed
>>750479627I think they did some telltale-like movie game involving a white male astronaut and his ugly black female wife. It was really unremarkable and sold like 5000 copies despite a super high budget
>>750479282As a chud LiS 2 or whichever of the sequels it was was the only game I can fully admit was killed by Anti-woke by square to not put in the lesbians for all the prancing faggot women to fawn over.>But that wasn't dontnodI know
>>750479282life to be stange som tim
Hahaha get fucked gay frogs
>>750479282
>>750479282Are they cereal?
>>750479282OP is this you
>>750480802Youre right
>studio gets subsidized with tax money to make slopaganda>wahhh why can't get make money
>>750479282All I know is that I did nothing.
>>750481623I don't even know the names of the games anymore and they pass by like autumn leaves.
This may be partly a consequence of just the video game market getting too huge. There are so many developers now that I am not sure the audience is there in free time to sustain all these developers. Especially with the economic downturn, I assume people are sticking more with what they know and doing less purchases of games just to try them.
>>750479282Vampyr was neat, the rest is just slop.
>>750482024There's no free market at play here. These European devs get funded by the government to make this shit. They would never exist in the first place.
>>750480840>The next ME was going to be a blast having return to formDAMN YOU MAGA.
>>750482101So does that mean the government has cut Don't Nod's funding?
>>750480840BIOWARE DIED BECAUE IT WASN'T WOKE ENOUGH
So what is the reason jannies-trannies are keep deleting this thread. It discusses a game studio and their games.
>>750479282One of the worst studios around. They wouldn't know how to make compelling gameplay even if it stepped on their nuts.
>>750479282>see video of lis 1>get to the super early part in the bathroom where the mc confronts some other teen with a gun>zero recollection of what happens but all i remember is i agreed with the guy teen with a gun over the mc and it pissed me off that she got her wayso i never looked at the rest of the game or another one of their titles again, the end
>>750482192The actual workers are just cogs to them. They're trimming the fat for now.
>>750482363>They wouldn't know how to make compelling gameplay even if it stepped on their nuts.they should make compelling gameplay about kate stepping on your nuts
>>750479282>How could this happen?USAID was cut and Vanguard/Blackrock pulled all money into AI, so all the leeches that make propaganda instead actual product people want to buy are going under.
>>750482024>This may be partly a consequence of just the video game market getting too huge.cope people use to wave away the fact that GOOD games are still selling well
>>750479282French taking countless L's lately
>>750479384But they made games for the modern audience, and I was told that was more than enough to survive and thrive.
>>750482693>and I was told that was more than enough to survive and thrive.this game's playerbase is on fire
>>750479704>telltale-like movie game>super high budgetThe Sam & Max games looked like their budget was like three digits. Telltale Batman was a minefield of hilarious graphics problems. Even Wolf Among Us looked like a budget title.
>>750483330>make gayme out of spite for gamers >no one plays it Many such cases!
>>750482528In better times more people would buy the shit games as time wasters. Now they can only afford the good
>>750479282>Make the same game 10 times, every time with more brown people
>>750482459FAWKIN HOMERUN FAGARONI
>>750483715okay but it was good when telltale did it
>>750483826I mean, fool me once shame on you...
>>750482251All of 4chan has been compromised since at least 2015 with the mods. I can't believe that some anons actually believe that 'paid shills' is just a meme.
>>750482251They support every single one of these studios that keep getting closed/laying off people because those studios are "allies" to the cause.Every time we gloat and say, "I told you so," they get butthurt and exert what little power they have.
>>750483826>Completely dropped by Borderlands 3
B-but it was one of the best sci fi stories ever...
>>750483330>250k wishlists from woke twittertroons translates to 427 peak players
>>750483941wait actually now that i think about it the wolf amogus game might've been whiter than the walking dead one right?>>750484242>the awful season 2 that gearbox made themselves that i will NEVER play just from how revolting the trailers wereman tales 1 was just so great imo idk
Woah, almost like peoples likes LiS because of the porn
Sure is a coincidence that USAID got gutted and all the woke studios fell.
>>750484374I'm not sure, I'm more of a Sam & Max kind of guy.
>>750480840The last good game bioware released was mass effect 2>Veilguard ?Shit>Anthem ?Shit>Andromeda ?Shit>Inquisition ?Shit>Mass effect 3 ?Shit>Dragon age 2 ?Shit
>>750482024Yes, litteraly every one can make a game now
>>750483663>In better times more people would buy the shit games as time wasters.i think that might just be more a consequence of how like the amount of "gamers" grows and such so there's always a growing audience that has a huge amount of great old games to go through, like why buy new slop when there's some 10 year old great steam game you can just buy and playthat or maybe normalfags are just content to turn down new slop coming out to keep playing their one current main game of choice like whichever extraction shooter or whatever the fuck
>>750482024Oversaturated market + less demand because of dwindling customer resources. Now more than ever you have to have more thrills, sex and violence in entertainment than ever to stand out. And not just in games for men, more fucked up murder mysteries in detective games for women, more and hotter boys in their VN business.
>>750484440>I'm more of a Sam & Max kind of guy.i'll play that and grim fandango one day, eventually
>>750484785Hit the Road is good too.
>>750479282Beautiful black women deserve representation in vidya. This game is a modern day lynching.
>>750484950>billions of woke dollars>they keep throwing ugly black women at us>no fat-assed goddesses, or curvy queens>the best we get is tanned jap browns
>>750484379I liked LiS 1 because of the comfy early 2000’s vibes and seaside mountain vistas. The story also wasn’t bad and had me interested for most of it.
>>750484950No, I've seen a modern day lynching.It was a Haitian who got caught molesting a girl in a store.He was held at gunpoint while people beat the shit out of him.
>>750483330Kek that's lower than a random janky shooter from 2005
>>750485229>less players than shartboxtroons MOGGED by garry
>>750485116and none of the sequels managed to replicate the charm of the original game
>>750483330It actually did twice as good as the game in OP's pic.
>>750484706how did you get this video of me?
>>750485373jesus christ i did not think there would be another game that could do even worse that the anno onethat is miserable, i mean i didn't even hear about it
>>750480802>brown clapping emoji
>>750479282>>750479684The issue is that the protagonists behavior towards each other is SO fucking stupid>>750484297This image explains it quite nicely.Thomas for some reason ALWAYS admires her nigger girlfriend that he tried to "get with" while she prioritized the mission over him.It ends in her starting to feel regrets that she may have missed a love/relationship with him, and on his side he regrets that he tried to slow down the strong black wymen that she is.The whole fucking game playing as Thomas you're being told by this neutered fag that she is so cool and nice and strong as a scientist (while he is a simple engineer). Meanwhile when you play as the nigger, she can't do anything technical or helpful but "think" about what things can be and could have been - also what could have been with her relationships with the EVIL WHYTE MAN that she suddenly regrets by the end of the game.Spoiler : thomas dies like a fag while still having hope in the nigger. The nigger finds him, cries, and forgets him for a stupid alien tree and shit plot hole. the end.
>>750484297i am NOT going to listen to ANYONE telling me that their sci fi story is good unless it has a straight white male x at least 7 foot tall xenomorph mommy romance
>>750486403So the game is written from the perspective of someone who either doesn't understand or seeks to correct what men find attractive in women, and that leads to a nonsensical relationship dynamic that has to carry the emotional core of the game because they made the amateur writing mistake of thinking that the audience would care about the alien mcguffin simply because their black scientist character does.Did I get it right?
>>750486403Thanks for the qrd. That game was boring af
>>750479282whats more surprising is that it lasted this long
>>750486728From the characters' perspective, their mission is the most important priority (while the male MC is obviously dying and the female MC is just jogging around having fun on an alien planet with 0 hope for survival).The perspective is that those characters are so focused on their mission (that has failed since they lost their fucking ship) that they forget about their own health/survival and desperate situation and are instead amazed by their environment.This is purely to showcase a "what could have been" environment while neglecting a rational mindset for the characters. They tried to sell fantasy and awe in spite of realism: in a sci-fi setting this is a big no-no.
>>750479282They went out of business because not enough people wanted their woke slop.Just like Bioware.
>>750483618>gamers aren't our audience>waaaah gamers didn't buy our gameWhy are they like this? Its what they wanted.
nasapunk starring old/nigger woman and europoor tax dollars paid for it
>>750487196Spiteful retarded leafs, utterly infiltrated by women and troons and will rather die on their gay hill
>>750479282How could this happen
>>750485881Most racist people are the browns. I used to live in a heavy multicultural shit hole highrise apartment and anytime a hijab wearing neighbour would enter the elevator, she'd let me in and close the doors behind me and repeat "no blacks" to the niglets waiting too
>>750487138It could've worked, people being delusional in a desperate situation.It's a problem of execution.
>>750480802Correct
>>750487573>anytime a hijab wearing neighbour would enter the elevator, she'd let me in and close the doors behind me and repeat "no blacks"Damn, that call of duty level was wokified too?
>>750480840>one of the billions of victims of fascismwoah
>>750480802Addendum: Unless under humorous context. This is how CJ got away with it.
literally who tells a publisher or game developer that putting an independent black female character on the cover of your game is a good idea? i think at this point its like a liability and a meme.and its weird too because they desperately do not want it to become one of those fads everyone looks back and laughs at so they keep it going with a serious face.
>>750479684I've never even seen that game before now.
>>750480840Damn, this blast-haver got NTR'd out from his future favorite game, that he wouldn't have bought anyway? Shame.
>>750479282Not an economist but, wild idea hear me out. Make games people actually want to buy?
>>750488824They’re more likely to commit sudoku than give gamers what they want. Hopefully with all the mass layoffs some of them really do go through with it.
>>750488824They made Anthem, a game no one wanted and even added it to their epitaph
>>750480840>gronuld blompf killed muh games!These people are so fucking stupid
>>750488824Noooo you can't say that! Customers are always wrong chud!
>>750489274Aw it's like a retarded caveman kid speed running its own brainwashing
>>750489242Yup
>>750489274lel, kek even
>>750488985>Ask anyone... except the people he just mentioned the line before that one.That's dumb, and also an appeal to popularity, but why is this relevant? Are these supposed to be developers or just random Discord troons?
>>750479282Wasn't this studio being entirely supported by the French government, or am I thinking of something else?
>>750488985The woke just need to be purged from the arts.The people who say that creatives should just keep their mouths shut are asking for boring stories that are afraid to say anything. It's literally an artist's job to share his thoughts on life and society through his work. The problem is that the industry aggressively hires evil Marxist lunatics who's brains don't contain anything worth hearing and who don't want to cater to a bunch of guys who just want to play videogames. They need to be exclusively hiring people who want to make games for gamers.
>>750489242The pain will end when they realize that the videogame industry wasn't their calling.
>>750489823You think they don't know that? wumao
Laugh at westoid game industry
>>750479282I enjoyed Life is Strange True Colors, but the main story and the LARP section killed it for me. Initially I thought the game was just exploring the town, doing side quests, talking to people and basically your character figuring out life. Instead, we get a depressing main quest. Then the DLC was a mess too.
>>750488985>just give the consumer what they want>AHHHHHH FACIST BAN HIMso glad these people are suicidal and not reproducing
>>750489823They're already fully aware of that, they're Silicon Valley rejects who want to be part of the californian tech circle-jerk. So they infest video games instead because they couldn't get a cozy fake job in Google.
>>750479384/thread. All other posts are irrelevant.
I liked Remember Me and Vampyr. Don't care for anything else they tried.
Has any developer tried to make sexy black women MC yet?
>>750479282Must suck being a frog rn
>>750479282Honestly disappointed to see but surprised it didn't happen sooner, they make games that are pretty niche with LiS being the outlier. I liked that they were one of the few modern studios trying things like Vampyr.
>>750490163Maybe now, but for the longest time the industry was happy to burn money in a pit in order to spread the (((right))) message.Not to mention that expenses go directly to the pockets of the good goys who make this shit.They were essentially waging a war of attrition against the culture at large, and lost.
>>750488985And there is that narcissism creeping in (I am the one in charge)...they just can't help themselves.their whole nihilistic outlook shatters the moment they are confronted with anything else but themselves.well, to be fair, it doesn't shatter. it just reinforces an absolutist fanatical cult of power. but same diff.honestly no different from the internet nazis, but i feel like i'm pulling hairs at this point.I would say all nihlists should rope themselves, but it's kind-of a foregone conclusion.
>>750490439gawdDAMNNeed porn of both together, fucking rare to find outside of chicks like Victoria Cakes' rare lesbo scene
>>750480802>shitlib friend buys deathloop for me at launch for full price>haven't touched it since it wants me to play as hominid faunaDude even knows I'm racist. I kinda pity his delusions.
>>750479282>*doesnt nod respectfully towards them*
>>750490582It's because they reproduce ideologically. If you remove their ideology from media, then you're basically cucking them.
wokeshit keeps getting btfois vidya healing?
>>750479282>make games that don't sell>go bankrupt
>>750479684I never even heard of this game.You'd think you people would never let me hear the end of it going "this game has a NIGGER in it", but you people didn't advertise it at all.
>>750483330>>750485373>We are the modern audience!
>>750480840This is like watching flat earthers all over again
>>750489898Brought to you by forced gay shit but no one will ever admit it
>>750488985For the last 12 or so years, they have been sticking their fingers in their ears, claiming up and down that woke is what the majority of people want and that the "chuds" are a minority, despite all of the layoffs, closures, and cancelled games. Are they ever going to admit that they were wrong?
>>750489921Is this just teenage lesbian drama rehashing ad nauseam
>>750480802I do tho. It just depends.
>>750491317No, they'll just double down yet again.
>>750491297The industry will admit it while getting rid of the people who won't because they have to.
>>750488454>>750491382What you are saying feels right, but your example being 22 years old feel like it's trying to tell you something. A lot of fatigue has built up since then.
>>750491412Do they not realize how foolish it makes them look?
>>750482192No, he's being retarded.
>>750491382I haven't played GTA in 20 years
>>750479282They went woke and they got broke
>>750479282USAid money dried up, and the french dev cannot steal the the money from any government funds to support their games anymore. Sadly, Canada is still using their tax money to fund Baby Inc and forcing DEI into IPs like Gears of War.
>>750491502No because their mass psychosis is that they're on the right side of history
>>750480840>woke Narnia lionI have no idea what the fuck he's talking about.
>>750480802I think that Lee in the first season of The Walking Dead is the last time that I've accepted it. Of course, that was just before the DEI shit went absolutely insane in culture. I guess maybe the Mass Effect 3 ending thing was the pregame, but 2013 saw the Zimmerman trial (leading to BLM), Gone Home releasing, and Anita Sarkeesian's rise to prominence. 2014 was Gamergate, 2015 and 2016 were the Trump/Clinton election, Brexit, and Female Ghostbusters, and then that's when things went REALLY insane.
>>750491567>I guess maybe the Mass Effect 3 ending thing was the pregameRemember how journos were claiming we were entitled after complaining about the ending?
>>750479282Based, FUCK niggers, FUCK trannies, and most importantly FUCK THE FRENCH
>>750491546USAid is a CIA front to smuggle agents and goods into conflict zones, you retard
>make a smash hit with the sexiest teen girls to have ever graced the medium>think that the reason why people like their games is because of their writing and gameplay>continue to make sequels that don't have sexy teen girls in themthey deserve to collapse since they ignored their core audience.
>>750487196they legitimately think Gamers™ aren't a large audience, and then it blows their minds when reality smacks them in the face
>>750491716If you ignore all the shady shit that was uncovered about it.
>>750491905That is the "shady shit".If you send supplies into conflict zones, you can send guys along and you can hide stuff in the supplies. You can discreetly smuggle funds, weapons and people virtually wherever you need. You can use the flow of supplies to influence which side in a conflict has an advantage. It's all just normal spook shit.
>>750491773The point wasn't sexy teen girls, it was lesbianism and depression, such is tikkun olam
>>750492398wow it's fine if the depressed lesbians are hot teenage girls
>>750491695>FUCK niggers>FUCK THE FRENCHSo fuck niggers twice then.
>>750492696Lol
>>750482024No it's the consequences of going out of your way to not ever give your actual customers what they want and even yelling at them for asking for what they want. Then on top of that they decide to make shit nobody wants whatsoever. What is the audience for a boring ass walking sim puzzle game starring a hideous black woman astronaut and her cucky beta boyfriend?
>>750483354Most likely referencing a "choose your own path" type game.Wolf Among Us' art was supposed to replicate the comics.
>>750483826Where is Tell-Tale now?>It closed in October 2018 after filing for bankruptcy protection.
>>750479282Vampyr and Remember Me are forgettable.Then they had one hit with LiS and tried to replicate it. Same with Deck Nine or whatever.
>>750491560The literal Jesus allegory in the new Narnia movie is voiced by a woman.
>>750479282oh no, the woke bullshit studio is closing......so anyways.
>>750479282go woke go broke
>>750489898Crazy that I would have been sad to see this like 15 years ago, and today I welcome itSo many companies down the shitter
>>750479282>"safeguard" procedure
But I was told that the chuds lost.
>>750479282>It isn't fairIt is, actually. It's the definition of fair. You sold a product people weren't buying, and now you close up shop to make space for someone who will make games people will buy.It's as fair as you can get in the world.
>>750489823They're already aware.They were hired specifically because gaming isn't their calling.They said in the interview "I hate video games" and the HR lady said, "Great, me too"
>>750483618>gaiderWho cares what this faggot says about anything?
>>750480840LEAVE THE BILLIONAIRE CORPORATION ALONE
>>750479282>Don't NogHuh, strange name for a company.
>>750479384FPBP
considering "saudis" just means (((kushner))) when you track the wealth funds and (((private equity))) back to its source.
Never understood why they didn't ride direct LiS sequels for awhile. They immediately shifted to some characters no one cares about, followed by a prequel, then finally did the sequel and pissed on the fags that liked the original. Very poorly managed IP.
All they had to do was keep making cute teen girl high school simulator with no minorities and they'd still be in business. And probably rich
>>750481882this pretty much
If a whole team of supposedly-talented devs gets laid off, there shouldn't be anything stopping them from getting together and starting a new studio of their own
>>750479282Lesbians didn't solve it but maybe we can double down and put a truckload of mystery mutt niggers into the third game for a massive profit!!!
An nothing of value was lost! GOOD!
>>750479384Bro, there is no way the state will allocate resources to make videogames. Vidya is petty bourgeois.
>Hunted on a frozen planet, astronaut Ariane must brave rugged landscapes and shifting realities to rescue her wounded partner, Thomas. This action-packed sci-fi adventure blends exploration, traversal, and tense stealth gameplay.I'm pretty sure I've played this game plot exactly 4-5 times already, usually it's set on Mars. What did this game do different other than "You've a black woman now."
>>750488454San Andreas didn't really hide the fact that CJ and practically everyone he knew at the start of the game were retarded gangbangers. He wasn't portrayed as being kept down by the man or anything, as evidenced by the fact that as soon as he gets out of Grove Street he starts to put his life together and succeed, while his friends are still dragged down by retarded gang shit.He also never got preachy in a way that felt obnoxious, and the game wasn't going out of its way to portray him as being undeservedly smarter than anyone else or talking down to people like he's a Hollywood writers' room.plus the game was fun so that definitely helped
>>750498038>He wasn't portrayed as being kept down by the man*outside of Tenpenny and his cronies
>>750490065>bethesda devs holding up signs saying "our players deserve better"No shit, that's why you got fired kek
>>750483618>the people who used to play our games are suddenly eager to see the franchise fail now that it's made exclusively for troons and fags insteadWho could have seen this coming?
>>750491618It's always funny seeing them now screech about how they deserve to keep their jobs despite doing everything possible to drive away their only audience out of pure spite.Sorry journofags and shit devs, you're not entitled to my money.
>>750491317>Are they ever going to admit that they were wrong?Of fucking course not and while part of me is infuriated by it the other half of me knows they’re just going to keep getting laid off with little to no prospects of getting rehired.
>>750483330I pirated this game for the goof and the controls were so awful... I knew it was gonna be shit, but it was impressive how bad it was.
>>750479282all they had to do was make a game with lesbians againhell, a mixed race lesbian coupleinstead they wasted everything ona wmbf exorcist gamea mountain climbing gamea wmbf space game
>>750499151wmbf is a based combo though, they just forgot to make the bf in any way appealing.
>>750489763Wok needs to be purged from reality. So do the fascists and Nazis for that matter while we're purging people.
>>750491317>Are they ever going to admit that they were wrong?Do any religious zealots?
>>750491460It's not fatigue. Devs have just lost a lot of good will. Make a silly game called "the rocket negros of South Detroit" where you play as a black woman in a week chair and if it's fun and silly wnough you'd still see success.
>>750499540>the problem needs to be purged from reality, but we also need to purge the solution too for no reasonYou controlled opposition fucks are getting so obvious.
>>750491382I think that this game being the only game ever brought up in the same way Ripley in Alien is for female main characters is pretty telling
>>750499739Nazism and fascism are not the solution, you're the same problem with a different coat of paint
>>750479384its almost like products need to actually have an audience for the industry to be sustainable.
>>750479282just make an 18+ lesbian game with them having sex and they'd of sold a trillion copies but no we get shit and darker shit.
>>750499808Wrong but go off, rabbi.
>>750482528>>750482024covid overhiring was a thing, its also a fact that modern day game devs are hired for their political views instead of actual talent. so western studios are saturated with talentless losers.
>>750499841Oh please tell me about how your super special form of socialism will totally work this time
>>750499540so if we name ourselves not facist we're allowed to act identically to a facist right.just call yourself idk anti facist and you can go around murdering and sociallly executing people who disagree with you.>>750499808the people crying about facism act like actual facists.
>>750479282>be gamedev company>fire almost devs to save budget>finances are better>no devs to do gamedevWhat's the end game here, outsource 99% to an indian company again?
>Game with cute teen girls>Game with an ugly niggerGee I wonder why one sold like hotcakes while the other one I hadn't even heard of lol
I liked the ghost nigga game they did, but even I couldn't stomach Aphelion, I can deal with ghost niggas but I can't deal with gorilla face astronaut niggas.
>>750499716nah.i don't want to see those fuckers at all. totally different from 22 years ago, and the difference is blm and all those years of nigger fatigue
>>750499930they'll just use the new tools that came out the last year or two, two or three devs can do what an entire studio was needed for five years ago
>>750488985>people not buying games that don't appeal to them is political>giving people what they want isn't the solution, the solution is for the audience to stop being so shitgame-ist
>>750490065These can't be real people's names
>>750488985I love how not wanting to buy a shitty game with ugly characters is super controversial to these types.
