You cannot refute this

or john k shitting on other artists for copying each other instead of looking into real life

kikes ruining video games by injecting niggers and trannies everywhere

zoomers: millenials did this!

says a lot about the average iq of zoomers

This. Happened with film, animation, art, writing, and pretty much every creative industry.

media genre pioneers are inspired by life experience to create something truly original

youngsters are inspired by their creation to try creating themselves

inspiration comes from wanting to recapture the elements of a piece of media that wowed them, so they can only make pale imitations

media becomes a generic formula of ticked boxes with each new release promising "this time it will truly recapture the original!"

I realized software development is doomed once women work started arguing with me based on shit ChatGPT said.

thing becomes popular

normies show up

"they" smell money

and now we have generations who grew up on mobile games being used to watching ads and being sold "value packs" and otherwise being treated like shit, and gachafags being held hostage by their dailies and content hidden behind lengthy grinds, chance and a paywall that can go thousands deep... none of it fun of course but they suffer from sunk cost fallacy to care.
You can bitch about one generation making garbage, but the next only enabled it.

second from the front isnt even looking at me, whats he looking at bros?

The games that fail horribly these days are far better than the games that failed horribly before. Whatever triple A title you think is the definition of "gaming has gone to shit" is 10 times better than Superman 64. All you are observing is gaming becoming larger as a whole and thus there being more high-profile flops while ignoring all the high-profile games that aren't.

Trolls remorse and its consequences have been a disaster for the internet

Gamedev has some prestige now, so the competition is attracting highly credentialed college educated types.

Problem is, they want to be a gamdevs, not develop games. Key difference is that they want to treat it like a 9-5 job. Crunch is a sin. Only do work if it's in a Jira ticket.

These people can make games, sure. But not games with soul. For that, you need passionate people- but passionate people don't go to college and get their 4.0 masters in swe. They just make games. But the former gets past hr roasties and LinkedIn, so here we are.

Competent millennials didn't go into gamedev because the pay is trash.

The Golden age was because mentally conservative INTJ types pushed the edge. These days the industry is dominated by sissy Californians who only know to make parodies of things.

Reminder that "forever" actually means since 2016.

Tech competent millenials get sucked up by heavy industry. Exxon doesn't have time for trans inclusive bake sales.

yellow helmet lights

heh nice touch

Looking at AAA gamedevs

Millenials have no creative say

Director/leading rolls are kikes, women, fags or 50+ year olds

Not my fault, niggi.

The inmates are now running the asylum.

Yeah that's what I was getting at. The millennials who are competent at writing software just go get six figure 9-to-5 corpo jobs in the real economy.

Game dev only really pays well enough to entice pajeets and burnouts these days.

2016 was 9 years ago

anon, the "new generations tak inspiration from media and not life" has been a generational criticism since the dawn of art

Twenty years from now, all the dogshit shovelware and overbudgeted AAA will be forgotten, just like the mundane, boring fuckups of twenty years ago were forgotten, and people will make threads about how THIS was the golden age of gaming.

GTA V releases in 2013

becomes most profitable game of all time for a short minute

attracts hollywood niggers and faggots who see the amount of money being made and jump ship from holloywood like fleas off a drowning rat

they infest the scene from the top, using their hollywood accolades to keep them at the top

gaming is ruined now because every executive choice is made for max profit by literally retarded boomers who don't actually know how video games work

wait a few years...

online matchmaking becomes engagement based slop that just wants to farm whales and addicts

games cost 10x to make now with the worse profit margins because every game needs celebrity voice actor slop and generic orchestra music

"culture specialists" who are hired to answer "why profit not exponential" by saying it's white people's fault for not buying their zogslop, more ugly black women!

GTAV being played for 10+ years leads to normalizing frequent DLC drops for any game and every game NEEDING an online mode now

GTA6 is wanting to push gaming even further by charging 100+ dollars and selling items in subscriptions

literally the only way to save gaming is to kill a lot of people and burn down rockstar studios, so in reality, nothing can be done.

The reason is well above millennials.
It happened at the same time as filthy moneygrabbers saw the potential in the industry and began creating publishing groups designed to grab studios and strangle every penny out of them before being cast aside and moving on.
We went from memorable games made by 20 people where everyone was intimately familiar each every other team member along with many aspects of the game to 300 people studio with funding from ??? to include consulted content made by the outsourced studio in a country you don't want to visit.

Yeah, fuck Igarashi.

Back in the day people had hobbies which they lent to game making. Now the gamers who do not have any other hobbies have nothing to lent to their games.

It's fucking baffling how in any other field having extra knowledge/expertise is beneficial but in fucking videogame development being a "gamer" is actually detrimental?? Make it make sense.

they do realize it will just make shit up, right?

lol

20 year olds have more power than seasoned veterans/(older) managers

how are zoomers so much better than millenials?

bro have you seen the state of this board?
"gamers" are fucking retarded, insufferable, and some of them probably smell like a barn

Cascadia Hipster: The Game actually being popular will never not be fucking hilarious to me. It personifies EVERYTHING that people hate about Pacific Northwesterners and the hipsters still ate it the fuck UP.

I can tell you've never worked a corporate job. Protip the people making all the decisions are still boomers or gen X at like 95% of corporations. We're stuck as middle managers at best.

yeah
you never want more than one fan working on a project
he or she is useful for pointing out some stuff, but given to their own devices will ruin the project

Play Indie Games

Was never a BIG fan of western games anyways, couple exceptions like Crash Bandicoot, Spyro, Rareware, but otherwise, I never cared for it, many Japanese games today are still gold, there has ALWAYS been shit shovelware for both western and easter devs.
Lots of good indie western games, though, most made out of passion rather than by what some suit says it's "cool".

Forgot pic

some

Says the guy that enjoyed the shit out of GTA San Andreas

Who let women into gaming?

Yeah this is a literal meme criticism people are making. Big games suck because they’re made by committees of boomers that just want to squeeze as much money out of people as possible

This image is disingenuous

Top was a theatrical release, it wasn't under a super strict weekly deadline

Bottom is just TV animation

Because of the above reason, animation tends to be cheaper and faster to produce

The person who actually did the background isn't to blame, the decision was taken by some exec that "ok'd" that flat look

I was in the animation industry for a bit being a "revisionist", and let me tell you, one of the FINAL notes me and my team had to do was to suck out all of the SOUL of most scenes, shit like "this expression is too extreme" or "this is too scary, children will cry", and these notes were not given by an animator, it was an overpaid suit who just "felt like it" and we had to nod and agree to keep our jobs, all of my team was pissed all the time.

Nah, its just the result of the US taking over gaming, the country where every good studio gets bought and gutted, and when not outright shot dead, turns into a husk of it once was.

horny geeks thinking they could score

The literal baby boomers and GenXers who laid the groundwork for the industry in its early days were computer geeks and tech geniuses with experience in other fields. They had to invent whole concepts that we take for granted from the ground up. That takes ingenuity and problem-solving which are mostly absent now.

the ashkenazi fears the indoor manure farmer

Millenials made shit like Deus Ex
Then suddenly big corps stopped funding small (white + male) dev teams and instead imposed strict deadlines and exported all of the busywork to cheaper third world countries (or simply imported the third worlder workers to their host nation)
all so they could make more money at the end of the line
greed
greed ruined everything

You can still extrapolate it to videogames.

people who made pokemon in the 90s grew up catching bugs in the summer

it was good

people who make pokemon nowadays grew up with pokemon

it's dogshit

FPBP. We knew this fifteen years ago. Geek is chic culture and the women it brought in ruined everything.

No, ChatGPT is the ultimate authority. Many times I will pull up the relevant documentation that disproves GPT, and instead of accepting it, they'll interrogate GPT further.

so you agree that gaming has gone to shit
I win

mmmmmonkey!

The more talented of gen Y were identified and snuffed out to make room for the average and shitskins. The internet was a mistake.

This

Tumblr gets jobs in the industry and now all cartoons are gay

I need to sit down, this is too much

Millennial here, never once made it into game development. Had to settle for networking and ISPs. Too much nepotism everywhere. That druggie you just gave $5 to who never finished school can suddenly and will become your boss.

Are we just going to ignore all the shit games released in the 80s and the 90s?

He's looking at a car that's about to crash the classroom. That ape has free will so he can pay attention to his surroundings while the rest is stuck in a mind-controlling hell created by the redhead girl who is in the front of the classroom, she is the mastermind.

Daily reminder that Zelda is not Miyamoto's childhood spelunking blog like Nintendo wants you to believe, it's just a polished riff on mid 80's action-adventure trends in Japan influenced by Tower of Druaga and Hydlide.

Every single pokemon game seems identical to me other than the pokemon in them

getting industry jobs now

lmao no, most zoomers are indie devs lol

It's not just vidya. Competent millennials aren't being hired. In the past, even in the 1940s, there weren't any HR departments staffed with bitter women. If you were weird but smart someone would take notice and bring you in. People don't understand that one of the reasons why AT&T (the original company, not the modern corporation that spun off of the original) grew so powerful is that the executives realized that to grow the company they had to find smart people to build the system, giving power over to their R&D division, who in turn sought out the best and brightest people in the country, even if they were "weird", and in turn achieved some of the greatest innovations under the 20th century while also making an insane amount of money.

Even into the 1980s and 1990s, you still had people in charge of companies recognizing talent. Romero and Carmack were troublemakers, but talented people that Al Vekovius recognized and gave them a great job.

Why do you faggots think AAA gaming is the state of gaming?
There's a few good AAA games every now and again and great shit happening in indie and AA

There's some truth to it just like this meme picture. Games were made by people with talent and/or creativity, not diversity hires who hate their own audience.

The millennials that loved those games never got a chance to make their video games outside of indie games
The industry was taken over by a machine of board directed slop with people pushing ideologies and Larry Fink taking a big fat shart on them at every opportunity

Left and right are the same people on both sides.

"Millennials are making all the bad games!!"

look inside

1200 pajeets directed by faggots from the golden age that completely lost their touch

the people that grew up playing pokemon start working at gamefreak

every starter is a fursona, this has been going on for 4 generations now

you fucking retards the problems is that suits from other industries took over

I fell for this meme.

T. AAA design anon

not EVERY game development studio is run by suits (you can say jews)
they want to be, and thus make dogshit, but that's still a choice they make

hollywood starts to become irrelevant

suddenly games suffer from the same bullshit as hollywood

"WHY WOULD MILLENNIALS DO THIS?"

millenials made Deus Ex

Ion Storm

Those were Gen X-ers, anon. The ones that played Deus Ex however were mostly millennials.

gaming didnt go to shit your life did

Sword and Shield were soulful though.

Zoomers can't tell the difference between Gen X and Millennials

Bro we were always this obssesed with troons

you're the revisionists kys

These things aren't mutually exclusive

Why do people keep trying to say this whole "it didn't get worse, you did" type shit? It's the same thing with "You grew up" or "It's because you were still a kid back then". It's the worst thought-terminating cliché that gets repeated in this entire industry by fans and devs alike when it's monumentally false because everyone can just replay the games back then and many still hold up.

Why do "people" keep trying to subvert

destabilization of the west

Maybe its because majority of gamers who value the golden age didn't become gamedevs you turbo retard.

where's your game?

election tourists really are the cause of all the cancer

posts proof that it happened while also denying it did

What's the next step of your master plan?

Letting women into game development at high numbers is the actual reason for this.

Women ruin everything.

This but in every industry. Women’s sufferage was a mistake.

i did not do do that

Gaslighting your memory... with no survivors.

Unironic nerds got pushed out of the industry ages ago in favor of Normies, third world labor and tumblr freaks. And Boomers still haven't died off yet and run everything still.

Amusing how zoomoids are so desperate to offload all of their shitty trash taste and media on someone, anyone but themselves as they are the universally shat on generation. Even Alpha is liked more than them. Truly grim

i think shit games would be more incentivising to working in gaming. a creative and intelligent person would see the technology and say "this could be used for something so much more" but if games are good, there is no urgency. the tech is being used well and good games will probably keep coming my way.

Every single thing wrong with modern games can be laid at the feet of Bobby Kotick and his Ivy League MBA ilk who found out that there's actually very little overlap between the things that make video games fun and the things that make video games lucrative. Every single time.

N-no, it was DEI! Women! Trannies!

Who do you think was forcing devs to hire women and trannies to chase ESG investment funds? These out-of-touch sociopaths and glorified accountants who have never touched a game in their adult lives, that's who.

It's never their fault that they keep hyping and buying the dogshit even if you warn them it's going to be dogshit.
They just act hurt once they realize that they've been duped again.

Labels are spread by Boomers to keep everyone mad at eachother (Which is ironic because Boomer itself is a slur). It's why corpos keep trying to convince people the world is still racist as fuck so people will ignore the actual problems.

Everyone with real talent west of korea went into the indie scene and rolled the dice there.

People will blame millennials, but look at the percentage of women working in games in 2005 versus now.

acting like people gave a shit about this before 2016

I don't care that it's almost a decade ago, election tourists will always be tourists. We said tranny when it was relevant but troon is an election tourist phrase

Same shit with Blizzard.

peak blizzard were some college dudes who loved rock

current blizzard are people who grew up with blizzard games

We said tranny when it was relevant

The usual term was "trap"

because everyone can just replay the games back then and many still hold up

What is there to complain about, then? Why would you care about the state of the gaming industry when you can just replay Yoshi's Island and Red Alert 2 for the 600th time?
Oh that's right, you're not actually satisfied with that or else you'd never take a step outside Anon Babble.

This

Anon Babble and Anon Babble were both gay as fuck. Anon Babble is still pretty fucking gay. i almost got roped into meeting up with a guy to suck his dick from Anon Babble all the way back in 2009 but chickened out. i often wonder how different my life would be if i sucked that dick.

Make it make sense.

Take your faggotry back to tiktok

Painfully true but niggers in here were sucking off Kotick over some legal back and forth not too long ago

I wish it was that simple but talented female devs worked on videogames created during the golden era
The problem was always normalfags

put jews, trannies, and retards in charge of gaming

gaming goes to shit

WOOOAW!!!!1

This situation was actually a long time coming if you think about it and surprising it didn't happen earlier. Those nerds you're talking about are western CS grads who are all howling leftists straight out of communist indoctrination in academia, at some point they realized they didn't have to make 'low brow' games anymore and started inserting their pet ideologies into them. Yes, they are completely spineless shapeshifters.

Because many people were never actually into games, they just played because their friends did. Once they didn't have that immediate social pressure they reverted to their normie ways but think they changed. It's the same when people claim to have been night owls but now can't stay up late anymore: they never were nightowls, they just stayed up for the social pressure.

t. old man who still is up until 4 AM most nights playing vidya

Gen X and Boomers? The ones that hired the current developer generation? Nice try retard

clearly you don't have insomnia issues. count yourself lucky.

he thinks 2016 is oldfag

Oh no no no, election tourist bros, we got too cocky...

what's there to complain about

The very fact that subsequent sequels became worse

Millennials had the most fun games to play, which meant they had too much fun playing them to learn how to make them.

You cannot refute this

Yes I can
since gaming has literally never been as good as it is now, and it keeps getting better

inb4 chud cherry-picking

Just let it go, you lost

The amazing part is that he told everyone exactly what he was going to do before he did it. He BRAGGED about it. But there are election tourists and edgy contrarians who still cry that the blame ought to go to their FOTM scapegoat instead.

millennials get bullied for being nerds and liking nerd shit

"I'll show them!!"

Tries to make games more "mature"

Their idea of maturity is making movies

If you've taken any engineering or CS class, you'll realize that most nerds cave in to the slightest social pressure, especially if it's from a woman. Most of them just want to be fuckboys so bad.

What is there to refute? Playing good games doesn't make you good at making them.

But really, it's the corporitization that killed them

Kojima and druck are both gen X. You wear my clothes from 2006 and complain about millennials all day like the bitter zoomer you are.

To be fair, they completely succeeded at what they set out to do. We've reached the stage where video games are being made into well respected HBO series.

It's just that what they set out to do was the worst thing imaginable.

They were rarely in high positions. Almost always exclusively artists/musicians.

Why didn't they just follow the Gen X advice of not giving a shit of what people think of you?

What board was that on?

gen x became sellouts like everyone else.

Welcome to Oldfriend Archive, the official Anon Babble archive of the NSA. Hosting ~170M text-only 2003-2014 Anon Babble posters (mostly 2006-2008)

Searching for posts that contain 'troon'. 79 results found

Can't tell if ESL or bot, either way you deserve to be gassed

Kojima is definitely Gen X but Druck was born '78, he's basically a millenial just like how someone born 1995 is technically a zoomer despite being two years behind the accepted year start for Gen Z.

I reqd this exact same post back in 2015 but replace zoomer with millenial.
Anon Babble was shitting on millenials for a decade, and the moment the term zoomer came around the millenials were itching to vent all their frustration and angst that they were getting from Gen x and boomers.

The only difference is that millenials are overwhelmingly left and onions and are destined to be worse than boomers, whole zoomers are overwhelmingly more right wing than any generation before them

War on males begins

Feminism & faggotry drip-dropped, then forced into EVERY aspect of media

Anything males find cool or pretty is bad: Most people are lame, ugly and degen so art has to reflect reality

zoomers are overwhelmingly more right wing than any generation before them

is that why they're objectively the gayest generation so far?

Reminder that "forever" actually means since 2016.

Doing a few simple searches on blue board archives really shows the damage, just look up troon, tranny, tranime, buzzwords rotating in real time (sjw/woke/dei),polshit etc.

You'd have to be an oblivious retard to think millennials hold any kind of leadership positions in the videogame industry. Phil Spencer is 55 years old, I guess you morons think he's a millennial

implying Mario and Sonic were inspired by “life experience” and not just a bunch of cartoons that were popular with Japs at the time

The game that mocked black culture? Dumb zoomer. Funny thing is most white guys preferred Vice City and it's the third world mutts that still play SA

millennials are the scapegoat generation. we get it from boomers, gen x, zoomers, you name it. we're used to it.

Holy cope. Kill yourself.

cuspers don't exist and 78 isn't millennial. dude was in college in the 90's.

You fool, they have to deal with millennial teachers forcing fag shit to them in grade school, then they were forced to stay home instead of socialize I'm school, now they're unironic lil nazis who spew shit straight from Anon Babble.
The few gays they got only radicalized them further.
When zoomers enter management prepare for the most based games in history.

You know lots of companies literally post group pictures of their teams, right? We can see that you are either stupid or lying, although to what end I can only guess.

zoomers sound pretty fucking stupid not going to lie.

Depends on who the "person" is
Boomers don't like internalizing the fact that the western world went to shit on their watch.
Jews don't want you to know because they did it.
Leftoids are simply brainwashed by Jews.
So forth and so on.

The executives are still primarily genXers or older.

I dont really think we'll ever see zooms in positions of leadership in the industry. Millennials are too big a cohort in comparison and below them is an unending tide of nepotistic browns, they are doomed to be mini gen X sandwiched between 2 larger gens and cheated out of having any relevance whatsoever.

"Fans" of a medium always make for the worst directors of said medium. I have never once seen a former "fan" of anything make anything good in that field, it is all just total slop. Meanwhile some dead-eyed clueless guy in a suit usually ends up being the actual innovator and creative heart of a project because he is the only one capable of seeing what he is doing with sober eyes.

Cuspers do exist what hence the cut-off for Gen Z flip flops around "mid-to-late 90s" or 1997.

Sure, but they cared about their job and had passion.

The problem isn't women having high positions, it's the lack of passion(specially in the people people who have high positions) and in the current state of society, manipulative women can get high positions like that pretty easily, and that is also the kind of woman who will ruin everything she touches.

anno was a self hating otaku and made great stuff. though he also made some of the worst slop imaginable. so it's a mixed bag.

Me, sorry. I won't do it again.

Gen X and Millennial tech nerds who wanted to get their dick sucked. This is what gamer gate was about originally a decade ago. I've been here so long the concept of new has become a joke

men who hate the medium and even their own fans always tend to produce the best the medium has to offer

wtf

Reminded me of that one Frank Zappa interview on how the corpo heads in his time basically did not know a shit about music so they just let these weird ass up and coming bands play, contrast to the corporate becoming filled with musical enthusiasts that have a stricter filter based on taste. And Frank is part of the generation that precedes Baby Boomers.

If you can't admit that video games are terrible and gamers are worthless human beings you will NEVER make a good video game. You will never even have a good idea for a video game. You must learn to hate gamers and gaming to become someone capable of saving the industry.

oh please zoomers are even gayer. you're all gooning with each other on discord.

did not know a shit about music

neither did zappa mostly.

implying millennial men were allowed anywhere near that.

Yes, but he's got a point. Hippies ruined the music industry,

When it comes to creativity, you want as much exposure from everywhere as possible.

the lowered barriers to entry are the cause of the decline in quality, just like everything, just like Anon Babble itself.

Gabe Newell wants to make a game, has no idea how to get started and just hires a bunch of FPS mod making nerds

becomes a billionaire, games are considered beloved classics

explain

Traps are not trannies, each is its own thing

Its insane how much of a risk he took when hiring. Just hired random bozos off the street and made an all time classic.

oh yeah definitely. just like how femboys are totally not just trannies.

get real.

Millenial men who grew up enjoying good 90s games aren't working in the gaming industry, the quotas keep them out. Your dogshit games are made by women and a variety of 3rd world ethnicities making up probably 80% of every studio and business, or 100% east asians who make the better ones.
They are also trying to chase entirely different markets, generally mythical, delusional ones they've made up in their head that would make them enormously rich.

You retards are ignoring the biggest elephant in the room for some reason. The industry wants to make money, what you people enjoy doesnt make money because its not always online MTX season pass filled slop or casual cinematic story focused slop. This whole argument that people working on video games right now are fans of the games you guys praise from that time period is clearly false.

Hippies ruined fucking everything Nixon was right nothing wrong with weed and homosexuality unless it becomes the culture the children consume in which case everything goes to shit.

It's so fucking tiresome being in western game dev if you have any passion for games.
Most of the companies hiring right now make mobile game slop. These companies don't even view their audiences as people.
Just as suckers to be manipulated into spending money. Data on a spreadsheet. Every game is built as a second job for them.
But since the same players can only spend their time and money on one or two games, most of these games and companies fail.
This is why there have been massive layoffs and it only affects the devs. Not the staff who wanted the meta to be a soul sucking grind.
AAA is a different can of worms. Everyone is basically making the same 3rd person game but with different writing.
Every role at these companies is a hyper specialist role. If you get selected from the 2000+ applicants after 6 months of interviews,
enjoy being the guy who only makes NPC beards for a living.
The route to interesting new games seems to be in small teams or solo dev but there most of the financial risk is on the devs so not everyone will go for it.
The silver lining is that there are more indie publishers popping up to support these devs. But even indies might just end up trend chasing and making quick streamer bait.

I too dislike pushback against the ideology I get to constantly put in all my games fellow normalposter

Was Gabe Newell a "gamer"? No he was a Microsoft guy, and he was the creative heart and soul of Valve that kept the "fans" in check and forced them to produce something half decent.

Games are made for the audiences they're trying to capture, not as personal art pieces for their producers. The studios just make whatever the current generation of 12-23 year olds are buying, hence the torrent of gay and woke bullshit, live service models, soulless copy pasted open world titles, etc, they make them because they sell. It only seems forced because you're not the target demographic.

Gaben has definitely played games throughout the years.

One of those groups lies about what they are, and despite the name it's not traps

it's been shit since the 7th gen and i was still in high school at the time. i don't know what to tell you.

That's literally nothing out of that many millions of posts. Are you a retard or just bad at baiting?

kids don't have money to buy shit. people pander to the 18-34 demographic because they have disposable income. in short yes zoomers are all gay and retarded.

played videogames

liked Doom enough to port it to windows for free

quit his cozy job at a billion dollar company to make videogames

Sounds like as close to a "gamer" as you can get for his era

lol no it wasn't. I've been here since 2009 and no one gave a shit about generation stuff outside of oldfag vs. newfag which isn't real generations.

getting caught by the filter

If this is still happening to you, you clearly have no idea about board culture. Truly grim

the most people cared about "generational" stuff back in the day was summerfags. which was just kids and teens getting out of school and being able to shitpost all day and night. the boomer zoomer shit didn't really start until that dude spammed his boomer wojak edits all across the site until it caught on.

When zoomers enter management prepare for the most based games in history.

I expect nothing but gacha slop and microtransactions

The problem is that video game market is becoming bigger and bigger. People go to schools about making vidya rather than approaching it from computer science and electronics side. Sociologists and "human behavior" experts are more profitable for corpos than actual devs. Devs are in general all the timer rotated in and out of the business so there isn't really talent. Studio sizes grow so much it is impossible to keep track with individuals and what they know or can do. Shit is outsourced FUCKTON to SEA and cheap labor markets.Publishers pander to wider and wider audiences.
Nintendo is only studio keeping up the fun in vidya, but Anon Babble of course hates Nintendo.

If you think this, you are a hopeless zoomer who will never understand. "Femboys" aren't a thing at all. Trannies are trannies. Traps are traps. All are worth making fun of, just like you.

Explain why Anon Babble loves DotA then?

not really
the people who had passion in games became programmers which in reality have so little control over the game itself and are just there to do the desginer's vision desu

he fell for the """""""""boy pussy""""""" meme

kek what a fag

Nintendo is only studio keeping up the fun in vidya, but Anon Babble of course hates Nintendo.

I hate them for their copyright strong arming and literal political meddling as well as their utterly baffling decisions regarding their lesser IPs.

Programmers also dip into game design. They don't just bow their heads out and code like a fucking robot.

Imagine if you hadn't eaten breakfast this morning.

If you don't remember the malding towards millenials then you're pretending to be an oldfag.

ESL?

Marketing, Publishers, and tone-deaf CEOs is why gaming went to shit.

Genuine autism

there was malding towards summerfags. then it was eternal summer. then the boomer zoomer shit was spammed.

Post a picture that literally (not figuratively) proves your own point wrong

Other people point it out

Continue misusing English while you cope about it

Other people point it out

"A-AUTISM!"

must suck being brown and dumb

who are you quoting?

You mean the games which are now 6-8/10s in current year? Because the standard has dropped so low now.

J-Just you wait till were in management!

What will we get? Five nights at freddies ripoffs and minecraft with a battlepass? Lmao

The word "troon" didn't come about until the whole boomer/zoomer shit picked up and everyone was making those "The X year old -oomer" memesin like 2020

Not just vidya. There isnt a single industry out there that got better after they started mass hiring women.

Call me whatever names you want, this is a fact.

There isnt a single industry out there that got better after they started mass hiring women

There is one...

He can't into figurative language

Pure projection. If you actually spoke English in your real life you'd know how people use it and not just default to a google definition like you have to look up words all the time. Genuinely embarassing

I think the rise of the internet and social media factors into this since creators in the past didn't have that

trannies are desperate to remove distinctions just so they can claim they've always been liked actually

Nah, it's your fault for using absolutes
Never a good idea

all the people making video games now are the people who sucked at those old games
all the people who liked those games are still playing them.

loving anything

the ironic hatred of 2015 is long gone
the unironic hatred of every video game in 2025 is in

It made a resurgence around that era but the term is much older. Like many things, it dates back to Something Awful because users called themselves "goons".
Hence a tranny goon is a troon.
Goon doesn't mean the same anymore.

NEVER a good idea

Oh no no no autist bros we got too cocky...

How do we get the people who liked playing video games to make them?

continued cope

didn't read
just take the L fag

popular words change over time according to how culture moves

Woah no shit?

troon is the new "faggot", and it was probably the most spammed word besides "nigger" before 2k16

I can.

gaming becomes more popular and profitable

shareholders and other types of businessmen latch onto it to maximize profits in a barely-regulated entertainment industry

gaming goes to shit

Most AAA games turned into the same cookie cutter shit where cinematics and graphics are prioritized while the gameplay is mundane, without depth and full of collectibles. The same companies that own the AAA games have also sacked, redistributed or otherwise messed with many studios that used to make a wider variety of games, so now there's a lot less variety in the popular stuff that's being released, which indies have tried to make up for. It's never been the SJWs or only the jews, it turns out it's just plain human greed and BOTTOM LINE MUST GO UP mentality applied to companies by people who don't even know shit about videogames.

Didn't read

I know, you can't read or talk at all ESL boy
Keep having your little melty after getting BTFO

Went to take a look, the vast majority of mentions of 'Troon' are actually talking about a town in Scotland with the same name. The next most numerous are all in some Germanic language (Afrikaans, maybe? Troon apparently translates to Throne in that language.) The remaining posts may be Troon in the sense we know it today, but I'm not bothering to carefully check all 79 over just skimming. For anyone curious:

hey I'm a fat lazy NEET but I still practice proper hygiene. Too bad my family smoked indoors for years so the smell will never come out of my clothes

human greed

jews aren't human

Passion is a poor excuse for lack of skill
What most projects lack is vision. The difference between a project with vision and one without is like night and day.

So why are games made by small teams nowadays so much worse than games made by small teams 30 years ago?

god I miss yuki.la

he's just going to keep replying until he can get the last word in because he thinks that means you win

lol whatever lil bro, you'll always be retarded and brown

This is a women and brown people problem, not a millennial problem.

n-no (you)!

More projecting, you can't resist replying each time. As a show of good faith, this will be the last (you) I give you. Feel free to resist replying if you truly don't care. Just know everyone can tell you're a bitter autistic brownboy seething from your third world hovel and projecting hard. Also don't forget to remember your breakfast again!

bulk of millennials start becoming working adults right at the transition to 7th gen when budgets explode out of control and ends up killing low-to-midbudget development

You're the kind of retard that let Gen X all over writers' rooms then start complaining about "Millennial writing"

Kotick is a fucking asshole

There is nothing to refute. M*llenials are a waste of oxygen.

Who let women into gaming?

golden age of gaming

technically immensely inferrior to all the text based and early rpgs of 70s-80s

your generation did the same thing

liking games does not make you good at game design. its like being good at guitar hero.

Okay but knowing what we know about Bungie and Destiny they were probably more of a money sink than they would like to admit, and Kotick in spite of everything else was very good about recognizing when shit was a waste of money.

True, I played the shit out of vice city. Only played San Andreas to jump out of planes with parachutes.

this is true, remember all the games who got cancelled on twitter for not being woke enough

correlation shmorrelation. The problem is that gaming quickly reached "labor of love" tier which just allows execs to feed off them until they're discarded and replaced
and for this one, the public expected art that matched the top. Now they don't have any expectations. It doesn't matter how detailed or plain a rock looks. What does matter is how much money needs to be spend making that rock

ITS ABOUT CULTURE AND GREED

This. Read about japanese devs - some were inspired by old movies, some by books, others by experiences in the real worldas a child. The ones who were fans of 'arcade games' played stuff like Space Invaders or Centipede at most. They joined companies in order to further develop graphics/sound/3d rendering or whatever - they wanted to do something that builds upon what they played, make something superior, not simply a rehash of the classics they liked. If that was the case, we would still have simple black BG, single screen arcade games in the 90s.

Anon Babbles descent into jew worship

Oh how the mighty have fallen

The weird thing about videogames is that they take longer to develop now but somehow look worse.

Most people in game development like some of the worst slop in the history of the industry. Seriously there's so many articles where devs list terrible JRPGs and low effort platformers as their favorite games.
There's also the problem that way too many 90s kids are totally controlled by their nostalgia. It leads to them copying things instead of trying to create new things. You end up with boring derivative shit every time something is developed with nostalgia as a prime motivator.

How much of it is actually to "each other" and how much of it is to "idealized representations of themselves that also don't happen to do anything with what either of them is like in reality"?

if everyone is such an expert on game design on Anon Babble then why has this shit board made near nothing of substance. notch browsed Anon Babble at one point but besides that what else is there? some fucking VNs and indieslop?

Ever notice how women can make videogames, but incels are still too stupid to make them?

Wrong. Amy Hennig is a hackfraud and does not deserve credit for Legacy Of Kain in any way.

women are confident enough to confidently make really shit video games

The people in charge are all middle aged corporate ghouls. If you had that passion project, garage band mentality like the original Doom you'd have more masterpieces, but now that we have The Industry, all the talent get's co-opted or drowned out.

I agree only because if you have the right hardware and knowledge then this shitty dogshit shit industry is not relevant, which I personally find to be unprecented. You can legally never pay a cent and have an entire history of art right there in front of you.

A PlayStation 4 exclusive was just brute forced onto PC by random people FOR FREE and it has regular optimization updates.
Then you have the numerous breakthroughs with emulation on portable hardware, allowing shit as crazy as playing Metroid Prime at a doctor's office or playing Morrowind on a device a tiny fraction of the size the computer needed to first run it was.

Of course the investment of strong hardware is needed, but if you don't think things are currently wild then fuck you. You can't be pleased.

OP seems to be making the very common mistake of believing you are only allowed to play a video game if a corporation lets you use their walled garden.

Even if that was true, now is not the last 10 years when they WEREN'T in industry. Meaning it's still a prior generation's fault.

Early games were good because they were all fans of classic fantasy lit and had spent their entire lives dreaming of bringing those worlds to life.
The next generation to precede them grew up with games and had a significantly reduced imagination. All they wanted in a new game was recapturing the same shit they played as a kid but with more stuff.

World of Warcrafts vanilla quests were all taken from decades of the Dev's tabletop sessions. They were cooking those quests for so long and they came out perfect.

we had a small window of glory where the greatest videogames ever were made, the era of early minecraft, wow's first trilogy, Vanilla, TBC+Wrath, WC3 custom game map scene, SC2, the Supreme commander series, RTS genre in general, early Halo etc.

Then women and shitskins flooded the field. White and Asian men are 99% of the best suited candidates to make decent vidya. Change that? then you change the quality.

That "mighty" one has been raped by senile bronies atleast two times.

Wasnt there a based woman who insisted on the females having and wearing high detail panties individuall for everyone and also designed it herself in some final fantasy game? This is incel cope.

Women being developers per se isn't a problem, as long as they aren't diversity hires.
The problem is listening to the feedback of women who aren't even the target audience.

*Boots up another AA game*

Sounds like skill issue tbhdesu.

NEVER in my post did I mention "diversity hires", this shit is just a red herring, there were lots of talented individuals in the team from all around the world but you are misdirecting your anger, the people who have the money are the ones that want shit faster, quicker and cheaper, those fuckers wouldn't think twice about replacing us with AI, and that's when the TRUE SLOP will arrive, have you gone mad talking to machines on the phone to fix something from the bank or internet provider? Imagine this in your games and entertainment, won't matter if you complain, there's 10x the amount of soulless slop coming your way.

You are generalizing, by the time those "kids" got to work in pokémon it became bigger than you can imagine, now you can't take libierties, it's a multi-media franchise, shit has to be released fast along with anime, merchandise, etc... I'm sure all those people would love to deliver an amazing game but it's not talent holding them back, it's bureaucracy and execs.

more likle:

jews get involved in the gaming industry

they hire only fags, trannies and browns

gaming goes to shit
