Why do Gamers get so mad over pricing ?
Why do Gamers get so mad over pricing ?
Theyre high-schoolers with no money
Why do publishers get so mad over piracy?
why are people mad when the price of their hobby goes up by 30%?
Go outside once and a while, anon.
a lot of them are brown or children and are therefore poor
I agree with the picture. Devs aren't entitled to my money, no matter how hard they think their piece of shit was to make.
they need to just shut up and deal with it, its not the end of the world because your parents dont want to buy a video game
they don't ? ive never heard a CEO talk about it
Why do people feel the need to suck corpo dick?
Yes, Capitalism goes both ways thats the beauty of it, no developer complains when their game fails.
The nice thing about this slogan is that I also don't owe anybody shit *pirates a game*
no one owes you shit!
hey you're right, I don't owe them shit either
NO YOU CAN'T JUST PIRATE GAMES REEEEE
I don't owe you my money, now kys.
Mad? I simply will not buy your games, I have hundreds of older good games i can play for pennies
NO YOU CAN'T JUST PIRATE GAMES REEEEE
again who the fuck is complaining about piracy, ive never heard any CEO of a game company complain about it, the most action ive seen a game company do against piracy is Nintendo, but they have the right to do so anyway since they dont want their games being played on PC
Mad? The goty that just dropped was barely 50$. Quite reasonable by today's standards.
when's the last time a dev has actually complained about piracy
zoomers don't know how to torrent
If I give them money they owe me something
Why are gamers so poor? Are you not adults? People with real hobbies like painting or playing instruments would kill for an equivalent paying $80 per game.

I don't get it either. Every video game is free.
kys jew
they don't ? ive never heard a CEO talk about it
yeah I already figured you're underage
I'm sure one of the flops from last year or the one before blamed piracy for a while. I couldn't tell you which though.
I don't pay tariffs. The companies will just have to take a loss.
again never heard anyone on the dev team of those games complain, anyone with a functioning brain understands Capitalism is good because it goes both ways, games succeed or fail on their own merits
im not mad i just dont buy games that arent worth what their asking price is. You arent obligated to anyone elses money. No one cares how much money you spent and wasted with shitty management and a bunch of features that nobody asked for inflating your budget beyond belief. Paying customers do not and should not need to fund your bad decisions. Expedition 33 proves that very very good games dont need to cost nearly as much to make or for the customer.
Because you don't have any real reason to jack up prices other than "fuck you" and then wonder why piracy exists.
13 years ago
again zoomers don't know how to torrent
piracy has more or less been defeated
defeated
then why am i still able to pirate anything that i need to other than games with denuvo (which will have it removed eventually)
Because you don't have any real reason to jack up prices
have you been asleep for 5 years or what
they have the right to do so anyway since they dont want their games being played on PC
This is a complete non-sequiter. You may as well say "Potato salad is tasty because the French don't speak Indonesian"

holy shit explaining anything to people on Anon Babble is like pulling teeth
obviously piracy exists, I pirate all the time
it's no longer a relevant market force that has a significant effect on a company's bottom line
If I can't afford it I'm not buying it. I'm white so I was taught how to be smart with my money.
How about "the new Mario game is good because the confederacy lost the civil war"?
Why do Gamers get so mad over pricing?
Why would you ever not want things to be cheaper?
You aren't impressing anyone by meekly accepting shit getting more expensive with no appreciable increase in quality, in fact games are getting worse.
I'll let you in on a little secret, because I have hobbies outside of games and Anon Babble. All hobbies have people complaining about prices being too high for not enough quality. Games just have more corporate bootlickers defending it.
no one owes you shit
and they dont deserve my money
moving the goalpost... again... again again
Anon you lost, you suck at arguing and you suck at shilling for multi billion dollar corporations. The point is that piracy was never a significant market factor, meaning that there was never any reason for people to not do it. As you say, it doesnt hurt the bottom line. This is literally the pro piracy mindset and argument for why its morally justified. Because we arent stealing.
No one owes game devs and publishers money
these are all the opinions of random programmers, a lot of individual developers these days are retarded Socialists, has nothing to do with the company as a whole, you dont seem to understand that no one is entitled to Money automatically
i've never seen a dev complain about why their game didn't do well
well, those examples don't count
lol, k
pro piracy mindset
holy fuck what a faggot
I pirate because it's free, I have absolutely pirated games I would have otherwise bought
it's not moral and it is stealing, I do it because it's best for me simple as
are these the CEOs you know people who actually matter ? no, no its not
dont bother replying to him, hes a disingenuous faggot incapable of ever admitting when hes wrong. anytime you prove him wrong he will just change the argument to something else, hes been doing it all thread.
Let's pick any game from back when they costed $60, say, for example, Grand Theft Auto 4.
What kind of experience do modern games that cost $80 offer that's greater than an old 60 buck game? There's no such thing. No game launched in the $80 price range is even comparable to the experience that GTA4 can offer. Are you justified in raising your prices? Not until you make a videogame that's worth $80.
you arent fooling anyone anon. poisoning the well only works if you arent so obvious about it.
no one owes you shit
Ok, then I won't pay more than $20 for your game like I've been doing since I started gaming in 1995.
The Phil Fish and Cliff Blizensky own their respective and controlled the entire projects they worked on, you fucking mong
and thats fine ? i dont see how waiting for sales is ever a problem
because it's overpriced it's okay the complain about prices especially when it affects every product you might want to purchase and the quality of said product doesn't even improve, and in fact might be worse
He's not moving the goalpost ? no one gives a shit if you pirate or wait for sales, literally no one, you are acting as if it greatly offends King Klaus Schwab if you dare even consider doing things to save your money
It's not even about whether you can afford it, that just invites the dumb "are you poor" argument. It's about whether games are worth what they are asking for them and they are not, even without the price increases.
He's
be less obvious anon. you should probably lurk a lot more
idk but have fun being laid off your dev job op!
im not a developer you Socialist Retard.
Not anymore anyway.
disliking the current state of vidya and pricing makes you a commie
you rarted or something?
That's a false flag. Poisoning the well is when you say something like "this is what known racist [name] has to say on the subject".
Yeah, if anything the opposite is true.
I am a poor white, so I have to be smart with my money. If they want me to spend it so badly, make it more affordable. That is all it comes down to. I do not need the latest games, I have massive libraries for my Sega Saturn and Original Xbox.
when you treat people badly they tend to act badly
you can poison the well with a false flag anon
shit on your customers for over 15 years
be surprised that they're angry and bitter
WOW WENDYS TWITTER LIED TO ME
Can you? I thought poisoning the well was giving your audience an impression of someone (or a group) by shit talking them before you present their position. A false flag is pretending to be someone on the other side, essentially presenting yourself as a straw man.
I don't see how the latter becomes the former. Even holding up a false flag as an example of the other side would just be a straw man.
In case you didn't notice the natural state of Gamers is Angry. Anon Babble used to celebrate it, Normals have been mocking them for it for years with things like "heated Gamer moments".
More seriously, it is because games by design tend to work to making their consumer feels special, and as a result "Gamers" tend to be (overly) confident about being in the right and less tolerant of things that personally irk then, but just like they chew through games and move on to new ones they chew through things they get angry about and move on to new things, it need not be price it can be any perceived flaw, including ones that don't even actually exist and are made up for the sake to be angry about something. Im sure you seen the whole "THEY PICKED A FIGHT WITH GAMERS!" copypasta? That's the attitude im talking about.
how do you not see the supreme irony of your post?
perhaps i am incorrect, but in this scenario the false flag exists specifically to make a certain side look bad, by pretending to be them, and making them look ridiculous, you are "poisoning their well".
Why do devtroons get mad when I don't buy their game?
Meanwhile people like you go apeshit at chuddha
just like right wing zogbots that seethe you arent a mindless drone to provide taxes, they hate you because they want something you wont give them, whether its your money, your time, or your labor, they know how valuable you are and seethe that they cant shame you into providing them what they want and need
Games are not worth $60 let alone more. The attempt to push games to $80 will not end well for the bloated AAA Industry which is already flailing and being disrupted by smaller, tightly-designed games that appropriately price themselves in the $10 to $50 range.
random incoherent seething at right wingers
Found the devcel
Lol Wendy's twitter was an example of someone who understood mild shock value mixed with witty banter and focusing it on things that weren't sore points in their quality of service; many other companies tried following suit by putting "modern audience"-minded faggots on their accounts who didn't understand banter, and who probably had a few chips on their shoulders, who just maliciously attacked people for anything said, especially for things like sore points in their quality of service. I hope Wendy's paid that troll well, because they proved their value in how poorly their imitators tried following in their footsteps.
the customer is always right
i don't owe a publisher money because of irresponsible c-suite salaries, nepotism hires, diversity hires, 90 minute long credit sequences, middleware licensing, "developer" trips to other continents to take photogrammertry of rocks, general money laundering, advertising, live service psychological studies into dark patterns, etc
i will just spend less money and play older games that are better anyway
No One Owes You Shit
Funny thing is that gamers know this better than anyone.
It's the woke journalist and devs that don't know this. They always blame gamers when their woke games have low sales and act as if they are entitled to high sales.
Because of the internet, we now know, in real time, how much things cost worldwide at any given moment, and we can see just how much they charge one region over another
Why do companies get mad when people don't buy their slop?
uh oh stupid nigger detected
they dont like disobedient cattle
Why do companies get mad when people don't buy their slop?
Because most of those fuckers are entitled assholes that think everything has to cater to them. If something doesn't cater to them, then it's wrong and they are somehow the victim in all this. That's how woke people think. They don't think by logic and reasoning, it's all about feels to them.
Whoa language, did your wife's boyfriend give you the N word pass?
Oh, goodness... how do I put it? Not gonna buy your Unreal Engine slop and not gonna buy your depression-themed indie slop.
keep me out of your cuck fantasies faggot
mad? im just not going to buy it
to add to this, they live in the office working mandatory overtime all the time with a bunch of people who 'drank the kool-aid'
thinking that devs have any actual attachment to reality besides their job is a stretch at best. Their life revolves around 'THE GAME' they're working on and it's all a gigantic sunk cost fallacy
Gamers don't matter! They have no power! The era of gamers is dead!
OMFG these racist babby gamers are the reason this slop didn't sell, they said mean things and didn't consume! It's literally economic terrorism!
It's the blatant contradiction at the forefront of their rhetoric, that gets conveniently ignored, that really does it for me.
no one owes you shit
If that's true then society/culture doesn't exist anymore. It's already collapsed and we're just waiting for the effects to fully hit.
I love when the usual response to this would be:
What about the religious fascism/satanic scares/Jack Thompson/Hillary Clinton/Joe Lieberman/religious fundamentalists and feminist teaming up eras of censoring video games/people going after video games?! Those were okay, bigot?!
They somehow don't understand that all those instances were unwelcome, as well, because it's not a right/left ideology thing for a lot of people, it's a 'stop pushing your bullshit onto other people and into things, and then cry like a victim when those people eventually push back'.
yes thats pretty much what happened, boomers felt no obligation to their country or their children and now society is collapsing
I am owed sex by all the anthropomorphic video game characters that exist, male and female!
Gamers don't have to be your customers, gamers are over!
I'm just not going to play your shit games. I'm not even going to pirate them. You are not getting my money or my time.
piracy has more or less been defeated
If piracy is 'defeated' why does every dev studio freak the fuck out and pay the Denuvo extortion tax?
Anon why are you retarded?
If everyone waited for sales, which by all means is the smart thing to do, gamedevs would freak the fuck out and start calling all their customers "Racist Incel Chuds" or some nonsense.
Gamedevs think they're entitled to your money, sometimes even when they haven't released a product yet.
