"If he dies: he dies." -Gamers
We warned them that this would happen. And they said they didn't need our money
let it collapse
good thing about games is we still have all the good old ones
Sony will find out that spitting at their customers for years will end up bad for them.
Vote with your wallet, folks.
Spock: "They're dying." Kirk: "Let them die!"
Those who don't remember history are doomed to repeat it.
Toxic positivity is the cancer of modern corporations… having a different opinion today gets you fired quickly… don’t ask me how I know that
As someone who's been gaming since around the late 90's to early 00's, I'm happy to see the industry get what it deserves. I'm tired of focus grouped "AAA" games, everything using Unoptimized Engine 5, politicized developers & publishers, and the myriad of scummy business practices that have come about. Everything in my computer is over 5 years old, and I don't plan on upgrading anytime soon because I have so many games in my backlog that are better than most new releases and will run great on the hardware I have.
Developers: "making games are too expensive!" Also developers: hires Hollywood celebrity actors for voice acting and even MO-CAP sessions, hiring 1000+ employees, paying for absolute worthless job titles like HR departmentments or "vibe check", working in expensive areas to justify the building they're paying for, having multiple offices in different countries, having 14+ managers micro manage everything, firing leading talent in the studio instead of building it/discovering who their best creators are, outsourcing everything to foreign studios... I could keep going
Like a forest fire, something new and better can grow after the dead wood is cleared.
This almost exclusively a Western problem in media and entertainment. There's a very specific reason for this. Im just glad people are aware of this on a grand scale now.
We warned them this would happen. And they told us they didn't need our money.
At least Sony is showing its customers the same love they showed Michael Jackson
Nature is healing.
Gamers have trained themselves to recognize patterns for decades. When they see shit from Cuckman and SBI, they know to avoid it at all costs.
Western game industry is collapsing and everyone saw this coming. Imagine how many great games we lost because of this "modern audience" crap.
These 'modern audience' games may have been the largest and most costly propaganda flop in the history of the world.
