you'll have to be more specific than that

Because gamers accepted lootboxes, MTX, live service games, and many other injust practices just fine. Gamers are worse than cattle.

I didn't accept that shit. Normies did. I didn't buy Oblivion because of the horse armor.

Big industry, they can afford to attack their audience right now.

Normalfags still play video games, and they voted with their wallet.

Tell that to the Concord devs.

Can they *really* though?

Indeed, and it's unfortunate.
West Coast Americans.

Ooh you're getting warmer!

Because the industry has been infiltrated by retarded ideologues that see the medium as nothing more than a tool to spread their agenda. The main obstacle in their way of successfully turning the industry into clown level shit like Hollyweird are gamers. This in turn has led them to despising gamers since we can’t be crybullied into letting them just push their bullshit so they do everything to spite us.

why is trolling so prevalent on Anon Babble?
because people here are subhuman freaks and it's hard not to bully them

Do you mean actual antagonism of the player or like seeing a black person in a screenshot?

Investors, if your Investor believes you were a victim of a nefarious hate campaign he is less likely to pull out than realising the lack of success was due to utter incompetence.

How about you stop criticizing games and just fucking buy them and play them and they would attack you.
You fucking deserve it for thinking you have the right to criticize games.

It's all media and not just games.

And it's because we're balls deep in the "all media totally has secret messages" illiterate era where some retards decided there was super hidden meaning to every little thing in media and self important fartsniffers who wanted to feel important let their ego be fluffed by the meaningless shit they put in their books/shows/etc.

By that logic you don't have the right to praise a game you haven't played either.

just buy it piggy

Fuck off, incels.

tranny throwing a tantrum

Have you come up for your copes when failhard flops?

I can't take this guy seriously after he liked Deadpool vs. Wolverine.

It signals the approved targets to the corporate bootlickers

Are you gonna present any kind of an argument or should I just assume you're literally retarded?

Just buy the games. Be better. Lol

It's been like that since like shortly before Gamer Gate.

Because they know better.

Yup. I remember gamers being called entitled after the ME3 ending fiasco.

Okay but what does that have to do with the sentiment?

Penny Arcade is unironic cancer for mocking the outrage surrending the lack of dedicated servers in Modern Warfare 2.

As to why they want to create their own matchmaking network in the first place, the ability to make money selling maps is floated as a reason, and it makes a lot of sense - presumably they would rather make a million dollars than zero. A centralized defense against piracy is also suggested, and things tend to go downhill quick after this. It is not a mischaracterization to say that conversations with the hardcore PC community about software theft follow these tenets:

>There is no piracy.

>To the extent that piracy exists, which it doesn’t, it’s your fault.

>If you try to protect your game, we’ll steal it as a matter of principle.

It’s like, who wouldn’t want to bend over backward in their service? You need to know it, because nobody else is going to tell you: you guys sound like Goddamned subway vagrants. Of course when you speak exclusively to each other, it all sounds so reasonable. It’ll be reasonable when you all board the bus, and the songs you sing en route to excoriate your enemies will be forceful, but within reason; and when you douse yourself with gasoline and immolate yourself in front of the offices of Infinity Ward, one assumes this will be reasonable also.

I'm assuming "video games attacking their audience" actual means "some bullshit on twitter"

He's not above the consoomers he criticizes.

Surely there is more recent shit to be mad at than 2009 PA lol

I don't care.

some devs are too focused on making games for themselves. however putting a nb or trans character in a game doesn't automatically make it bad like Anon Babble says

It's not, you just have a victim complex.

i cant remember the last time i played a game that did this

What's up with all of the bot replies? They're not even remotely on topic.

No, they thought they could when they started developing these games 7 years ago, and it's too late now so they need to stay the course. They probably figured out it was never going to fly 4 years into development, and they would prefer a bad failure they can list as a tax loss than just scrapping the game entirely, as making a poor business decision and wasting four years isn't deductible, but completing a game and nobody buying it is.

So ad hominem then? Because ultimately you’re not arguing the logic.

Obsessed Jew.

sounds like he is just describing you and that makes you mad, which is clearly the case because you brought up this beef nearly unprovoked.

You need some level of coherence if you want people to take the shit (You) say seriously.

2016 turned all the americans into Anon Babble garbos

It's just a relatively early example of journos attacking gamers who raised good points. His shilling was one of the many things that enabled this wonderful world of GaaS cancer. I hope he's enjoying it.

Californians

They don't want people to enjoy the hobby

You have no argument for how he’s wrong and just attacked him instead. Thats is a logical fallacy known as ad hominem. If you can’t see the coherence in that then you have a severe lack of reading comprehension.

actually it does you stupid fucking faggot

He's right, and he's also a faggot whom I can't take seriously.

play better games

Gamer Gate.

Okay, that settles it then.

You don't play games anymore
The games play you

Because devs found out retards will still buy utter pieces of shit specifically made to berate and insult them, on top of giving it massive public attention by talking about it nonstop for weeks on end. We live in an era where outrage sells more than positive attention.
