Nintendo is GREEDY because you allowed them to be

I think Emp has been on a Downward spiral recently and has now lost it completely.

ahhhh millions of people should have boycotted this massive company all at once

yawn

Still Buying Nintendo Switch 2

Is this the guy who said reddit and morty was good?

only seasons one and two, which is the same as what most of Anon Babble thought at the time regardless of whatever historical revision you want to apply in response to this post

Can't blame him because of how the internet is.

There's no such thing as greed under capitalism you communist. Nintendo is trying to make the most money possible and have set their prices at a point they believe you the consumer is willing to pay, retail outlets have the ability to charge more or less if they deem the demand for said product isn't there.
That's how the system works.
Nintendo is not your friend just because your mom and dad bought you their games and you're nostalgic for a time when you got free games, I assure you your parents were also bitching and moaning and Nintendo products being overpriced.

MUH ANTI-CONSUMER PRACTICES

Maybe the consumer needs to be protected from themselves?

Emp's content has gotten more boring with each video tackling on topics no one cares a rat's ass about except autists,he should just go back to doing youtube poops honestly.

either buy the game or don't
why whine over what other people are doing

Always has been, deadlock mindbroke him last year and it's only been worse from there. Can't expect anything from Tftrannies

bait used to be believable

"I think season 5 will be good"

Only the green dog alien and Captain Planet (female) episodes were any good

I disagree, I have rather enjoyed his latest videos.

Here waiting for the obligatory autist telling us why we should hate [eceleb]

because he made fun of my troon game or something

Nintendo sucks but he’s made it pretty clear his bitching is only due to people not pointlessly dislike bombing a smash trailer because of some melee drama. He’s just a crybaby who whines when he doesn’t get what he wants.

His Church of Nintendo video has aged like fine wine

If we can't stop jews, what makes you think we can stop them

Because he plays tf2 if you need another reason you're a tranny

Main channel or no balls
He did it once, should do it again

What's the alternative when xbox is dead, snoy is drowning on it's own puddle of DEI blackrock piss, and PC gaming is on it's deathbed due to lack of optimization and sky high GPU prices on top of forced goytracing preventing 90% of PC gamers from playing new non-indie releases?
Hell even indie releases are just roguelike deckbulder slop and vampire survivors slop now and nothing else.

It was already old news when it came out

retro games

Emp is my favorite youtuber
fuck tendies

With this one its easy. Every longform video upload he does is a video that isnt a YTP. the internet as a whole becomes just a little bit worse every time he uploads the wrong kind of content.

What greed? The market for games is now $80

People will take the 80 dollar hike in the ass and nothing is gonna change
cope

He's right.

i remember him getting really elitist about youtube poops being filled with seizure inducing flashing and retarded ear rape shit but then seethed insanely hard when stuff like hank of the hill or skooks did well with non autists because they weren't filled with that.

thats his point

He's right

Companies like Nintendo and Rockstar will get away with it because they have games people want. Everyone else will have to rethink $80 games after no one buys them, though I feel like Microsoft jacking up their prices is more to herd people to gamepass than it is to make more money off of software sales

Gamers were born only to serve us. Without that, they have no place in the world; only to serve the People of Nintendo

what vid

couldn't give a shit about NASCAR

teared up when Dale passed away

he died seeing his legacy continue in front of him

Microsoft can get away with charging $80 for Call of Duty because the CoDfags will pay it.

Top comment is: heh, "Nintendo fans understand economics". And he's right. We're the only consumer base in the industry that studies the market. See: famitsu threads. Everyone else just want their bing bing toy and rooty tooty shooty. Nintendo fans want a strong healthy industry.

I reckon this wouldn't be as big of thing as it is if it wasn't for the 10 dollar Welcome Tour.

The poker video was fucking kino

this is the proper use of AI

More like spoiled milk

Does Call Of Duty even sell well anymore? I feel like everyone just plays Warzone now and ignores the latest release

Literally every product on the market is getting more and more expensive but Nintendo in particular is greedy for following suit instead of selling their products at bargain bin prices

Why are people like this with Nintendo?

this

In order to be loved...
You must have been the first to do it.

Well I'm mostly pissed because the price of Nintendo games never goes down, so $80 is the floor if you want to bing bing wahoo for the next 10 years.

Tendies are not human

so more nintendo
I'm all for it tho lets mod sm64 forever

More human than any other fanbase in gaming

because nintendo has always made their products at affordable prices compared to other companies, this is also why they use 'inferior' level hardware compared to sony and MS, so it can be cheaper to sale.

we learned to understand that nintendo prides themselves too much on their IPs to sell them at a discount in any way, but still they sold them at prices anyone could afford with a bit of effort, 10-20 dollars+ per game is actually WAY too much.

two reasons. one, they saw people raising prices to $70 and didn't "follow suit" they jumped ahead and went straight to $80. secondly unlike just about every dev their shit never goes on sale so while the sane person can learn to live with a $70 MSRP title that they know will be $40 in a few months, Mario Kart World being $80 means it'll always be $80.

random ass modders have more of a grasp on what makes platformers fun than the company that made the game

makes you think

the western consumer market is filled with scammers who are used to marketplaces screwing the distributor or the seller and letting the consumer get away with fraud and theft. nintendo provides a premium product that is more desirable than other games in the market, and rather than consumer bases wanting to agree to premium pricing for a premium product, they have been conditioned to just want it for free even more.

It's funny they call Nintendo greedy when they increased the price of their accessories due to tariffs but left the price of the console the same.

I feel like there needs to be a term for this where there’s just genuinely more hate and distrust for a company the more child friendly content they make. I see it with Disney too and even I haven’t cared about their stuff in years, it’s weird how much people try to pretend they’re a thousand times worse than the rest of the industry.

the guy bitches and moans in literally every piece of "content" he makes these days. his latest main channel video is an almost hour long crying fest about capitalism. barf.

Seeing how it still makes tendies seethe I agree

I love platformers and that webm looks like the opposite of fun
tedious tranny bullshit where you smash your face into a wall for twenty minutes until you finally fluke a win

the average player could NEVER do that kind of performance unless he played the game every hour of his life. that is not funny.

controls remain untouched

Makes me thank.

I was more talking about M64 romhacks not that one specifically

Less seethe and more pity over his own seethe

Rick and Morty is Venture Bros for people who are afraid to enjoy things unironically.

used gayms still are a thing, especially with gamekey shit raping the "you bought a physical copy? you get a digital code on the box :)" shit westoids have been trying to do since the ps3
bing bing wahoo in particular is not that replayable unless it's shit like splatoon or mario maker so buying used copies is not hard

that's an optimized route full of sequence breaks. you can play normally while seething inwardly about trannies if you please

Nintendo can be as greedy as they want, they've made legions of brainless sheep who buy their slop. Its a good time to cash in before they start dying off.

because nintendo has always made their products at affordable prices compared to other companies, this is also why they use 'inferior' level hardware compared to sony and MS, so it can be cheaper to sale.

compared to 1200 bucks for a pis5 pro with a disk drive and with snoy selling TLOU rereleases for 120 bucks, the switch 2 and it's games are still far cheaper and with far more games
blame xbox and snoy for being kikes and giving nintendo no competition, allowing nintendo to put out these prices uncontested

I agree and skill issue

The consumers have decided that they are willing to pay $80 for Nintendo games.
I will not be buying it.

Nintendo and Disney market and sell their products as premium and that upsets people despite them having the success and popularity to back it up.

its just nintendo being greedy and totally not drumpfs tarfis guys!! the corporations are the bad guys!!!

this is what chuds like him actually believe btw

Recently?

Why are so many game commentators communists? Does playing games drive players to communism?

Is that admiral ackbar

Disney irrevocably damaged the public domain with lobbying bullshit so they claim copyright on shit from 100 years ago. I hate nintendo and their toddler fans but they've never done anything on that level.

Who is this, and why should I care?

It's not tariffs, it's hyperinflation from the biden administration sending money to israel finally catching up to westoids.

entitlement leads to communism. nintendo shuts down rom sites and suddenly private property is an issue

No, it's because they're running unopposed.

nintendo has always made their products at affordable prices compared to other companies,

Since fucking when? People spent the entire Switch gen complaining that they were selling games for 60$ that other devs wouldn't dare push past 40. Even the Switch itself was considered relatively expensive when it came out.

I think the moment that made me realise that Nintendo was just another greedy corpo was when they tried to make Youtubers give them 30% of their income to play their games like a decade ago

Having to deal with shitty corporations exploiting legal loopholes whenever you want to make something drives people to communism

The biggest problem is that Nintendo went ahead and started selling games for $80, which while inevitable, is not good pr no matter what. I feel like a huge amount of resentment and backlash recently came from all the misinfo spread about the console, from the "no actual physical games" to "games are $100 plus dollars"

Then quit your bitching about other people bitching, and just bend over like the good goy you are. Corporations are not entitled to anyone's money. If you want to waste yours, that's your prerogative.

This is the typical path: Is a retard/social outcast -> owns a computer to fill the void -> pirates software -> embraces comunism

the thing is kikes are already mobilizing everything they got to smear nintendo
pushing 80 games now is just adding a few drops tot he bad PR when 90% of said bad PR is already just outright lies
it's objectively the correct move to shit out all the things that could give out bad PR right now then ride on goodwill once the games actually start coming out

Copyright is not capitalist, though. Copyrights are government monopoly grants over ideas. They have nothing to do with property rights.

*Trump administration

Nintendo still has the goodwill of the general public because normies still love Nintendo games.

Disney is actually in a massive decline because most of their content output has been absolute trash. Normies don't care about StarWars and Marvel anymore.

Meanwhile hardcore otaku that learned japanese in the 00s and 10s still feel bad over having to pirate the raws/original releases due to not being able to import them.
Maybe it's a problem of being an EOP leading to goymummism.

greed

selling complete games instead of joining gacha/live service/MTX hell like the rest of the industry

Why is it ALWAYS poorfags that whine about this shit?

UM IT IS LE TOO EXPENSIVE

UM I SHOULD BE ALLOWED TO PIRATE GAMES PLEASE STOP STOPPING ME FROM STEALING

UM MARIO KART SHOULD BE $10!!!!!

It’s a fucking luxury good. You can complain about prescription drugs in America being anti consumer because that shit actually matters.
But THIS? Boohoo your fucking tendie game is too pricey for you?
Fucking shut up, who fucking cares? You literally have fifty years of video games to play. If you can’t afford modern stuff, either manage your money better, get a different job, or just don’t engage with newer products?
Who the fuck is forcing you to buy an iPhone 29 every year? Who the fuck is forcing you to upgrade your display every few months?

b-but software/hardware obsolescence

This is an extremely rare phenomenon in video games. Sorry you can’t run Doom Dark Ages at max settings because your hardware got timed out, but who fucking cares? Progress is literally not free and it never has been.

why do things change wah wah

Don’t fucking post here anymore, you have the brain of an 8 year old

Because Nintendo knows it will sell more over a long period of time.

Companies like Ubisoft devalue their product by slashing their prices to look better for the sales charts.

>selling complete games instead of joining gacha/live service/MTX hell like the rest of the industry

actually it's funny you bring that up because nintendo shitting out a low effort TCG gacha release already raped the entirety of the chink gacha market to the point they have to do galactic number fumbling (like not listing the JP and CN servers of it) to not lose to nintendo and they STILL barely edge out a victory

Based

oh i use him as a sleeping aid didn't realize he had a 2nd channel

I can't respect this guy whining about organizations and people doing shit that people don't like because he had a whole multi year long fit to try and keep a hold on his channel despite making nothing that any of his audience wanted.
A crime that's all the more egregious because he knows people at youtube and wouldn't even need to deal with youtube starving the new

Emplemon waffles on about boring shit and cries because he was retarded enough to think the melee community wasn't astroturfed crap

Channel: ChancellorCitrus

it is. companies can profit off of a laborer's ideas long after they're dead because they own the rights

Don't forget he deleted all his old videos like a faggot

Here is your answer to why is he and many other people just bitch n moan as part of their youtube content
youtu.be/YflsCectl6I
Stick to the first 5 min if you have the attention span of a goldfish.

Capitalism is about private property. Ideas are not property. Copyright is no different than any other government monopoly grant (e.g., getting a grant to be the only blacksmith in town). Government-granted monopolies are not capitalist.

In the event you're sincerely looking for an answer:
People DO give people shit for overpricing their software, especially in the form of lopping off massive parts of it to sell later as DLC or via expansion passes.
And other industry problems
The problem is that Nintendo in particular setting a new standard for base pricing, and the internet as a whole has a problem with Nintendo centric administration so it tends to be "bigger news" when they do something retarded, and, as of recent. They've been especially malicious and retarded to the point it drowns out other stories like 2K patching most of their shit to include straight up spyware.

How culpable

Fuck off BEANER

Oh I didn't forget at all.

Ideas are not property.

They can be under capitalism.

I unsubscribed from this guy as soon as he made a romantic piece about NASCAR. That told me everything I need to know about him.
Anyone who likes actual slop and then tries to justify it while still maintaining some intellectual high ground is a pathetic loser.
There is no such thing as a “guilty pleasure.” If you consume something regularly and enjoy it, it’s because it appeals to an aspect of your personality/mentality.
Retards who watch isekai/fotm/sol shit and then have the audacity to think they’re some media scholar while poking fun at those “guilty pleasures” they have are fucking sad pieces of shit. Worthless opinions because you’ve just outed yourself as having horrible enough taste to consume media like that while also trying to act smart and cool.

Copyright is not capitalist

Then why do corporations lobby governments to strengthen copyright laws like Disney did in the 90s to keep Mickey out of the public domain. The government will happily bow to corporate interests in this regard

He's a HAPA, surprised he hasn't killed anyone yet

I agree

holy based

Greedy corp

Anti-consumer

Only complaints about Nintendo and Valve

I fucking hate snoys leftist assholes like you

This guy is a massive faggot, when I learned he was brown it did not surprise me. He also has a very gay voice. I do not like brown people.

unironically anyone hating on emp in the current year is a buckbroken deadlock fan
that video aged like fine wine and the comment section is full on cope

The guy on the left did picrel to play pixelated indies and unoptimized console ports that the devs will never patch for higher performance builds. Then they went and told other people what to do with their money.

did this nigger really need a nearly goddamn hour long video to say "negativity gets you the ad revenue benefits of the kike bots exploiting people's misery"?

No they can't. Capitalism is explicitly defined as the private ownership of property. You are using the Marxist definition of capitalism, which means literally everything besides utopian communism.

Less competition means more profit. What's healthy for the market and what's more profitable for a given individual are different things. That's why some corpos outwardly support communist causes.

You're both stupid and intellectual property law is sound.
Advocate the state and any sufficiently large corporation owning any and all ideas you have completely nullifying the incentives for creative works because copyright law as it exists is being used to rob you of super mario and you want to use the AI to shit out pictures of Wonder Woman and Iron Man fucking.

I like this guy a lot better when he's talking about Tornados and Nascar and Poker and shit, not whining about prices and capitalism

Because the appearance of value is more importanr to Nintendo than the sales numbers normalfags never hear about. It's the apple strategy. Sell mediocrity for insane prices and watch the cattle attach that price to the notion that it must be good if it costs a lot.

I don't care about 80 dollar games.

wow I can't wait for some random youtuber to make a 20 minute video titled "Emperor lemon's downfall - A retrospective" where it covers some random shit nobody cares about or remembers.

Ah yes, because someone building too expensive of a computer totally justifies console manufacturers literally robbing you, for no reason

But they do dedicated serv

NO, THEY DON'T.
THAT WOULD BE GIGANTIC SECURITY PROBLEM.

In 1970 minimum wage was the equivalent of $29.5/h in home purchasing power

You could have got out of high school, got literally ANY job, and been making about $30/h in real purchasing power even if you were making literal minimum wage.

No they can't.

Yes they can. Sega owns the character Sonic which is an idea.

intellectual property law is sound

Property law is derived from natural law theory as described by John Locke. What is IP law theory derived from? Walt Disney's ass?

Boy, I sure wonder what happened in 1971.

I won't debate a retard. Peace.

create a standard that pegs USD as valuable as gold to the international market

get rid of it

Literally why did they do this?

because he had a whole multi year long fit to try and keep a hold on his channel despite making nothing that any of his audience wanted.

I'm genuinely confused by this take, since it seems like he's done fine view wise.

>Emplemon waffles on about boring shit and cries because he was retarded enough to think the melee community wasn't astroturfed crap

The video with 10 million views?
wut

it is truly a mystery

They own a monopoly grant over an idea. You cannot own ideas, as they exist in peoples' head and cannot be removed. For an idea to be property you'd need a machine to physically scoop it out from one brain to another.

Nintendo doesnt care much about the people who arent buying. They expect to lose some customers, but the remaining ones make up for the loss by buying at the increased price.

deadlock mindbroke him last year and it's only been worse from there.

Qrd?

Nintendo is GREEDY because you allowed them to be

translation:

[seller] is [increasing prices] because [consumers] had high demand

I wanted TF3, not a new IP

5% of the cast is black women

thats it

The US spent too much on Vietnam and did not have enough gold to back existing dollars. France called the bluff and sent warship to redeem their gold. Nixon told them to fuck off and thus turned the US dollar into worthless paper.

Yes you getting literally robbed on MSRP of computer parts that will never go back to normal prices does justify someone else getting ripped off in a lesser manner. Glass houses and all that.

It's a form of identity fraud, and the issue with copyright and intellectual property law is largely with how it's being interpreted.
Don't fucking act like an intellectual that understands shit when you won't even address the actual reason we have intellectual property law in the first place.
If you don't own the ideas that are uniquely yours, you don't own yourself, you fucking retard.
You're bitching about the problems with corporate personhood and you're genuinely too fucking retarded to understand that you are because you:
Don't actually make shit
Are jealous of people that do
Are currently being used as a useful idiot by said same companies you're bitching about to legally own YOU.
This shit is as fucking retarded as the non-distinction between "Physical" and "Digital" copies of software.

They own a monopoly grant over an idea.

No they don't. Other people are allowed to make characters that are cool blue animals that run fast and fight robots. You don't know what monopoly means and should stop using it incorrectly.

because he knows people at youtube and wouldn't even need to deal with youtube starving his channel

Youtube itself is astroturfed to all fuck, most of the metrics are fake and they've repeatedly gotten in legal trouble with advertisers over their naked influence peddling.

Eh first two seasons were ok. Best adult show airing at that moment, at least

Haters of Nintendo were always obsessed but I think youtube made the problem a lot worse. There's so many youtube videos that are like 10-50 minutes long and it's just the youtuber making shit up and it'll have hundreds of bot comments saying "this video aged like fine wine." The amount of shit people make up when it comes to Nintendo always sounded like pure propaganda to me. It can't be real people. It has to be paid shills at the very least.

you guys said to vote with your wallet and do nothing...
i trusted the plan...

Fuck Nintendo

I support Nintendo.

Sounds like you want gay easy shit

i am ambivalent to Nintendo

you won't even address the actual reason we have intellectual property law in the first place

Do you even know how copyright started out? Hint: it has nothing do with what you're talking about. All support for IP is cope by retards who always support the status quo and love the feeling of a boot stomping their face.

Man, only does Nintendo have the power to expose Anti-Nintendo fanboys as shit posting South American Snoyboys living in squalor. LOL

Oh, so "blue animal that runs fast" is an idea, but "blue animal that runs fast and is called Sonic" is not an idea? Ideas stop being ideas if they're specific enough?

He's right and everyone supporting all their cancer this gen absolutely have a huge part to play in it. The kinds of people who mocked shit like paid online but bent right over when Nintendo did it and the normalfags who are too ignorant or apathetic to know any better just told nintendo they could become even worse. And if the switch2 succeeds, it'll just happen all over again.

Oh yeah no having the means for people who actual make shit and the people that want to buy shit not get defrauded by people that can't and won't is le cringe.

I'm oppressed because I can't defraud people by pretending to be someone who can actually make shit

Chinese ass mentality and why Disney nearly fucking got away with murdering that dude's wife.

Nintendo fans understand economics

This

hyperinflation

mutts should stop using words they don't understand

I don't really care what this guy thinks anymore however
His never ever series was OK but then he abandoned them to cry about valve not making a TF3 so what the fuck ever

Ideas can't be owned if they are vague and sega doesnt have a "monopoly grant over an idea". Do you have any more questions for me?

Yes because he's doing the exact same thing he's criticising

Nobody could answer this.
Nintendo is the ONLY platform worth owning in the future for gaming at the moment.

Is somebody breaking a monopoly also committing fraud? Is selling a cheese without getting permission and paying tribute to the local milk cartel also immoral?

YTPs don't give you million subs

What is the best video on this guy's YouTube channel? The casino one was kino af

sex with Hariet

Oh, so you agree copyrights are monopoly grants over ideas, but they have to be very specific ideas. Is your argument that large monopoly grants are bad, but small monopoly grants are good?

Because Emp is based and Anon Babble is gay
For me it's the one about the tornadoes in Moore Oklahoma

his melee video is good

deadlock brought up unprompted

still mentally broken by the concept of an alpha, ey brown?

PC is the ONLY platform worth owning in the future for gaming at the moment.

ftfy
Anyone who thinks otherwise is too dumb to be here.

copyrights are monopoly grants over ideas

False.

his poops are unfunny shit and his vaguely more informed than wikipedia recaps about interesting things that have happened are better content

the nascar ones actually made me interested in nascar for a bit

unprompted

in a thread about a video from a guy who made a bunch of people buttblasted with a simple truth nuke

cope, dota2 wasn't losing numbers during closed testing
you're whiteknighting artifact 2.0: ASSFAGGOTS esports edition
i spit on you

thank god he chose to stan hbox considering all the recent shit.

Listen you stupid dishonest nigger.
You aren't being oppressed because you can't scam people by selling pirate copies of Sonic the Hedgehog 1 to them.
And YOU already understand and acknowledge both the concept, validity and purpose of data propriety because you won't hand your dox to someone.
Either begin to remotely touch the concepts of corporate personhood which you. AGAIN. Admitted is a problem in your non-applicable example.
Or shut your retarded ass up when trying to discuss intellectual property law, its legitimacy, and its implementation.
You insufferable fucking tumor of a person.

Why are anons such bootlickers? Maybe being a commie is a good thing over paying 800$ for nintendo games

PC is bigger than it's ever been and growing every day. It's blitzed past consoles. People have to pretend they can't get a PC that can play 99.99% of everything out there with a $350 4060 or steam deck and if they're that steeped in consolefaggotry then oh well, get filtered.

It's because it's a Japanese business and no matter what they do they'll always get bailed out by dipshit japs because muh nationalism. Despite Nintendo butt fucking anyone who dares display their game on screen. Despite Nintendo trying to push Splatoon as a competitive e-sport while sending C&D's to smash tournaments. Despite them releasing last gen consoles and charging current gen prices for it. Stupid Japs will keep the company afloat for eternity no matter what anyone does.

he looks like a chud

I don't know why there's even anything to talk about. This is history repeating itself.

switch 2 about to launch

too expensive

not even a line up of exciting games, just mario kart and something else

oh wait that was the 3DS I just described. and what happened? nobody bought it and they were forced to lower the price. learn from history, don't be a dumbass who buys the switch 2 and ends up getting compensated for the big price drop with 10 exclusive GBA roms

sure thing brown, this time it will fail and this time you'll get your fix

I fully support and endorse piracy. Like Gaben said, piracy is a service problem. If you have a good service (e.g., Steam) people will pay for games, even if they are available for free.

Piracy has nothing to do with fraud or data breaches. I don't understand why IP cucks always resort to equating piracy to actual crimes. The concept of illegality =/= immorality seems to elude them.

and despite them fucking over JAPANESE indie devs (pocketpair)
watch china do the same shit with 0 repercussion
it already failed brah
13k players on a new FREE multiplayer moba made by fucking valve themselves

don't care. you lost and got raped

scream and cry all you want brown zoomer, its still an alpha, its still unreleased.

inb4 it failed somehow because mindbroken faggots on Anon Babble need a fix

But you pirate steam games.

I fully support and endorse piracy.

Once again, you are a disingenuous faggot.

Pocket Pair isn't indie anymore, they making deals with Sony.

you know gaben was diagnosing a problem (ie, bad thing) and not endorsing piracy, right?
nta btw

tendies love the same repetitive games from 40 years

they love their mario slop

lol you're still going with the brown thing
but about deadflop, i've seen the same type of cope during artifact's reveal -> release as well
i am in fact screaming and crying...from laughter! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

It is good.
The "THE WORLD AND LIFE DOESN'T MATTER MORTY NOTHING MATTERS GOD IS A LIE TRUST THE SCIENCE LOVE IS FAKE!!" isnt the actual fucking show. Rick is a hypocrite. That's the fucking point.

Pirating and buying games are not mutually exclusive. I pirate tons, but I also have a large Steam and GOG library. That's the value of providing a good service.

If you have a good service (e.g., Steam) people will pay for games

Meanwhile Spacewar gets a huge player spike everytime a new game is released.

inb4 oh well they weren't going to buy it anyway or were just trying it out. Steam has a great refund policy for you to try shit out.

Emp has way too fragile of an ego

Rick is a hypocrite. That's the fucking point.

That's cope.

I support a platform with the freedom to pirate and then a service being forced to compete with that by having to actually be good. Literally only valve seems to understand this, the rest either offer nothing or try to be scummy as hell about it and turn into prison systems like consoles.

More like 10 minutes and the other 50 just to shit on youtube

Oh same. I just don't blame the victims of thieves using some bullshit moral justification. It's ok to just want free games. There is nothing wrong with that.

He peaked with the YTPs. That's all I gotta say. Same with AwfulTroonful

he says himself that he's good at complaining about things

his "American Psycho's" video might my favorite
he's made pretty much nothing but kino for the last 6 years honestly

I too insult the appearances of mixed race persons.

Yep, gamers in a sizably valuable majority keep buying these things in spite of their complaints, even Anon Babble does it. They never are willing to break away from a franchise/series they like cause they believe "Why bother, it's not good" and continue to support this thing and companies know it. You want to break free? Discuss other games that aren't talked about, word of mouth is advertising and advertising goes far.

If you think the pathetic <200k player count it had at the apex of its hype when it was first revelaed and everyone who cared (and those who didn't) got an invite isn't its absolute peak... Well, let's just say you have the IQ of a brown yourself, good sir! It is triple the artifact's peak numbers, so expect 200 players daily a year after release!

nintendo is the least greedy company in video games and if you dont understand that you are a fucking retard

Lol holy shit the seething from you poor fags who cannot afford the switch 2 is fucking hilarious.

Piracy is not stealing, though. Just because something is illegal doesn't mean that it's wrong. The anti-piracy movement is a psyop spawned by the monstrosity that is the IP law cartel.

The problem with GOG is it's more of a donation at the end of the day. You have to be a upright person to buy from GOG.

I think [thing] has gotten worse over time

when it was first revelaed

Deadlock was never "Revealed" you fucking retard.
It leaked out of the astroturfed TFTumor scene and almost solely served the purpose of legally compelling them to stop being niggers and running bots.
I'm not under any delusion that a modern version of SMNC is gonna have a huge playerbase, but I'm not also the kind of gay retard to pretend like a game that has neither been announced NOR released having 200k people playing is a "failure".

cheap bait

It's a movement counter culture to you grandstanding faggots preaching that piracy is moral and ethical when you just want free games.

i disagree, it's unwatchable

In some ways I think the lack of applying anti-price-gouging laws is a bit more to blame.
People are going to buy things, that's what they do. And, in a vacuum, paying like 600$ for a new console and Mario Kart isn't so odious that a lay family who wants to play Mario Kart won't buy it.

Obviously if people did resist the temptation to buy these things, then Nintendo would be forced to back down, but that's not very realistic.
People can't even stand up together to stop candy companies from using slave labor for their chocolate; when fucking chemicals in hair spray were going to literally destroy the part of the atmosphere which stops us all from getting cancer they didn't even do that. Regulation had to.
There was never a shot that people would stand united against a 20$ price hike on a one-time purchase product.

No the problem with GOG is their service sucks and they're run by a shit company that both doesn't believe you own the games they sell you and intentionally lies about being able to sell DRM free games on Steam.

Nintendo are not your friends

Still supporting Nintendo btw.

After the Behind the Meme video, it was over. Even though his HungryBox video was pure kino, it was never the same.

Nope its a fact. You basically have to threaten to kill yourself and call a congressman and talk to pajeets for 7 hours to get your xbox live subscription cancelled. I was able to sign up for a free trial of Nintendo Direct and lock in a future date where the free trial would auto-cancel. I have literally never dealt with a company who would let me do that and I am eternally grateful to nintendo for being based and not greedy.

You want government to set prices for entertainment? Damn, you're stupid.

Deadlock was never "Revealed"

INSANE levels of cope on display, absolutely mental

Video games are like the least inflated thing I buy. You fucking children on here should all be banned for your age

feel like it's less of a critique of a captialism as a concept and more a discussion about why modern """capitalism"""" sucks for most people on like a very fundamental psychological level

Nintendo are my friends. They have my email and they have never once sent me a single fucking spam shit email. They only tell me happy birthday on my birthday and give me a gift. They are the only multinational corporation who treats me like a friend and I keep score.

You want monopolies to set prices for entertainment? Damn, you're stupid.

What monopolies?

Yes there ARE insane levels of cope on display, from you.
Like we can dance around all day but in the end Deadlock was never announced, is an INVITE ONLY alpha, and hasn't actually released.
Honestly the retarded thing about it is shills for the other crap that's actually out now desperately trying to say they're worth playing by comparing to a game that hasn't even released yet, and given historical precedence probably won't perform well.

NTA but you are fucking idiot. Nintendo does not have a monopoly and the cost increases are LESS than the rate of inflation. If anything you are being under charged for video games. The price of vehicles more than doubled but vidya goes up 2/7 and you cry? If you want to be mad get mad at joe biden and the democrats for causing massive inflation

*Trump and Republicans

If anything you are being under charged for video games.

Here's the thing, inflation does exist, but in no way people are being undercharged for videogames, because the quality of them has plummeted fucking catastrophically since ~2014

EmpLemon saying that SpongeBob is popular solely because of SpongeBob and Squidward's relationship/interactions and nothing else is his most asinine take to date.
Fuck the "Squidward is relatable!!!!!" fans. They deserve to watch every single modern episode on a ludovico technique session

It wasn't announced, but everyone already knows about it and everyone who cared already played it and sent out friend list-wide invites
I alone have sent out an invite to 90+ people
Just stop the cope dude
The only way they can keep the game alive is the same way cs2 is kept alive - by making it a casino populated by chinese botfarms

the quality of them has plummeted fucking catastrophically since ~2014

Gonna disagree there champ.

Everyone's always talking about the downward spiralers but nobody ever talks about the upward spiralers

art of the choke was his best video and not much after it has been as good

but everyone already knows about it

Vastly overestimating how many people are aware of it.

UM ACTUALLY I SENT OUT 6 MILLION INVITES SO IT'S SUPER DUPER DEAD

I'm sure you did.
Nevermind you're STILL operating under the assumption that I'm saying it's going to perform extremely well when it actually releases, which I didn't.
Because we've DONE this already with SMNC.
But you don't know this because you're an intellectually dishonest cockmongling fucktard that thinks people are unironically lining up to play CS:2 for the fucking skins in complete disregard for the near entirety of the current generation of online shooters being derived from (Call of Duty) or explicit imitations of (Rainbow 6 Siege, Valorant) of counterstrike.
