Do you ENJOY watching games fail?

Yeah.

I don't enjoy it

I LOVE it.

It is only sensible. A programmer who worked on Concord shouldn't be penalized for the game failing on such a grand scale. The art designer, however, should.

Wrong. The lower level employees are going to be the ones that get punished while the higher suits will keep their positions and keep making bad decisions.

If it is from devs or has anything i dislike than yes I do.

Yes, it's cathartic; and anyone who tries to tell us otherwise deserves every failure coming their way.

American shit? Yes. Every single time.

people called it on your game before it was out too

When it's studios that hate the games I like, yes, yes I do. I wouldn't like some random indie or AA game to fail, but something from Bungie developers? Damn right I do.

game obviously looks like shit

people say it will flop

dev is gut punched when the game releases and flops because everyone calls it shit

dev doesn't learn anything about providing an entertainment product that people actually like

What are previews and reviews for? i see marathon and there is absolutely nothing that interests me from that game, and something tells me a review is just going to confirm this.

I don't enjoy watching games fail, only when the devs are assholes, and apparently Concord's devs were all about toxic positivity, so fuck them.

Apparently devs hate you for judging a game before you play it but they also expect you to buy a game without letting you try a demo.

please! please! just try a little bit of our propaganda! At least read a little the pamphlet before deciding! Please!

No.

People are losing their jobs. People with families. People with children. People upon whom others depend to put clothes on their back and food on their table. Now they have nothing. Many of them will have to take jobs out of desperation at reduced pay which will impact their quality of life. They will have to move across the country. They will have to sell their homes at a loss. They will have to pull their kids out of school in the middle of the year.

And yet here you are on the asshole of the internet gloating about it, conjoined by a chorus of equally pathetic shitheels who have also accomplished nothing in life. And why? Because these people made a game you did not like. As if that is such a fucking crime. But no, it's not enough that you did not support the game. You had to take it a step further. You had to trash it at every opportunity. You had to discourage others from supporting it.

There are so many talented individuals in this industry who grow disillusioned and quit because of people like you. The bitterness. The spitefulness. The hatred. There are supportive people out there but they are drowned out by the negativity. This website is a festering shitpile and people like you are mysteriously drawn to it.

You need to take a step back and reevaluate your life. Ask yourself why you take so much joy when others encounter misfortune. Does it make you feel better? Does your life finally have a purpose? Do you feel fulfilled? Do your parents tell you how proud they are of you?

I hate you. I fucking hate you. And I don't mean that in the "I think you are a fucking dickhead" sense but in the "I loathe the mere fact that you are allowed to exist another miserable day" sense. I hope you find yourself in the same situation someday. And I hope someone gloats about it on the internet. And others join in celebration. Just like you are doing right now. I will be there when it happens. And I will laugh my ass off at you.

Fuck you.

Just fuck you.

I enjoy seeing people who hate me lose money/their jobs

Yes, I love to see people who hate me fail.

If I go to a restaurant, sit at my table, the cook comes to my table, takes off his pants and squats on top of my plate I am not expecting a filet mignon.
If your team has a mediocre track record, steals assets and the game that they have to make has a genre noone really plays anymore it's probably going to be shit.

Yes but also i'm hoping to see it lead to the death of sony because sony has ruined gaming.

Yes

Which flop did you work on?

The feeling is mutual. Give me back my video games.

Well I certainly don’t enjoy playing them anymore so watching them fail is fun

No, I want games to be good and succeed, but people making shitty games aren't contributing to that.

to this day Foamstars never even got its own Wikipedia page

I love a good flop

published 14 April 2025

So... before the drama? lmao

Yes.

This game is made to get investor money, not public money.
I'm not an investor, so i don't need to care about it.

They still don't get that they failed because of the art style and character designs. People don't play games because the gameplay is good, because how would they know if they haven't played it yet?

April 14

so this was from before people noticed 70% of the key art was stolen from somebody the art director follows on twitter.

favorite pasta

guy who made shit game tells me to give other shit game a chance

Uhhhhh nah, I'm good buddy!

Former Concord Dev says 'it was gut wrenching to see players were absolutely correct once again'

Bad games should flop and good games should succeed. If enough bad games flop and enough good games succeed, evenutally AAA companies will figure shit out and actually put out good games, or else they'll die and the power vaccum will be filled by companies who do. And people who are bad at their jobs should lose their jobs. Go get a job doing somthing you're actually good at instead.

it's like they expect people to "give a game a chance" and by that they mean "buy anything by default"

DIE BUNGIE DIEEEEEEE

It depends, working on slop is soul crushing and the work environment in companies that are pozzed to the core is always horrible. It's only like you described if you do remote work on a highly technical aspect of the game. Then yeah, who cares as long as you get paid, you probably didn't even have to look at the art.

why does it seem like game devs and the gaming industry as a whole is the only industry that feels entitled to an audience? Lately Hollywood is that way too but it just feels like game devs expect everybody to buy their shit no matter the quality and will throw actual tantrums when they don’t get their way

Yes

When it's a good game? No.
When it's a bad game? Yes, it deserves to fail.

I know this is pasta, but: those people hate me and wish the same on me. The feeling is mutual.

The fact that it's becoming a meme to call Marathon "Concord 2" means it's already over. The general consensus for even normalfags is that this is unwanted shit

The makers of those games thought that I'd just buy whatever they served up and that they could freely cut corners and put as much of their agenda into it as they wished, they are now discovering the hard truths of the market.

westacuck ones, yeah

I don't care.

I feel like this is a widespread problem that goes beyond just entertainment. The car industry has been acting the same way, lecturing and blaming the customers for poor sales, and basic design fuckups. Computer parts manufacturers do it, Nvidia calls you "too poor". Try working with any independent contractor on anything. It's like after 2020 everyone collectively forgot the rule #1 in business.

You tried to destroy my country, I'd rather you were facing a firing squad right now.

Have you SEEN the movie and comic industry?

laugh track plays

Slopflop enjoyer but I'm also happy when a good game succeed

Everyone else knows it'll still look good on their CV

Ahh, so this is why AAA games are so shit these days.

yeah for projects i dont like, those projects failing means better chances for projects and games i would like to be made
the same way i feel bad when a game or project i wish would do better flops
its not rocket surgery

people making money in the industry realized they could start getting away with scummier and scummier ways to make money and for a good decade it was working hand over foot. after a while people then start thinking that was the baseline for the industry instead of it already trying to push the line and we get devs that act as if they're doing you a favor for cutting out content and reselling it to you as a DLC that may or may not come out down the line if you support the game long enough to keep them afloat in the meantime.

Leftists genuinely don't understand the fact that a customer can choose not to buy, it infuriates them.

In this case? Yes.

Concord dev

Don't judge a game from the teasers and gameplay show

Just mindlessly consume

Little do they know them trying to defend this game makes the game look even worse

When are they going to run out of money? Concord should have bankrupt them.

Maybe they can do a real job.
Maybe they'll come for HR one day.

I don't approve of hating on devs, at least individually, but I DO NOT understand how this garbage keeps getting made.
Nobody wants it. It's obvious from the pitch. How does it keep happening? Is it all just because some executive doesn't understand or something?
I get that games can come out of nowhere and blow up like Helldivers 2 did, but look, when you're the fucking Halo studio (in name...) and your whole marketing push from the beginning has been absolutely fucking panned and ignored, MAYBE you shouldn't still be expecting to somehow blow up if you still haven't managed to get anybody to understand why they should be hyped for your <insert-derivative-FOTM-genre-multiplayer-game-that-nobody-on-the-team-even-wanted-to-make>.

Yes when is a shit game from a company that betrayed their fans to chase movie games and out of palce political agenda.

Sony is a multi billion dollar company with many divisions besides gaming and it's most profitable is life insurance believe it or not. They can easily handle a dozen Concords before thing get really bad.

Yes.

An article came out recently that said the devs knew the game had major issues but were ignored by the management who thought they knew better.

Yes.

Yes, I have. Comics hacks are more hateful than uppity beggars.

The thing that gets me is it's not even a FOTM genre. It's a TURBO niche genre. People are expecting to turn sub 100k players into multiple millions?

The battle royale explosion made sense. PUBG/Fortnite had (have) an insane playerbase, companies copied BRs, THOSE games also have insane playerbases. Money is being made.

Extraction shooters have no mass appeal, are not making money, the copies aren't making money, and we're making more?

Why would I not? Seeing the consequences of hubris from people who thought they were untouchable is hilarious.
Even better is the fact that this shit is only the tip of the iceberg since, when you consider that the average AAA game takes about 5 fucking years to produce at minimum, then factor in the stubborn arrogance that will make many devs refuse to see the writing on the wall, we've got YEARS of Nagasaki tier bombs to laugh at in the pipeline.

trust me, I'm a Concord dev

do you enjoy watching the people who hate you and want you to die fail?

Obviously yes

People have always enjoyed watching people they dislike suffer
villains being punished in stories, public executions, the concept of a "hell"

The only reason it's an extraction shooter is because management was playing Tarkov and decided to make their own but for casuals. The devs told them it wouldn't work but they didn't listen and here we are.

I looked it up for fun. Here is the current most popular extraction game on steam. What fucking retard sees this and thinks

HOLY FUCK LOOK AT THOSE PLAYERS WE NEED TO MAKE AN EXTRACTION GAME!!

Almost assuredly fake news. Higher ups don't play videogames and they don't get to single handedly decide what a project will be. This went through many many hands and stamps of approval.

because management was playing

Only from companies I once loved but have grown to hate like Blizzard.

True but Bungie is a bit of a unique case. Many on their management are veterans from the Halo days so they're at least familiar with gaming and Sony gave them a lot more leeway with regards on what they work on, which I'm sure they're regretting now.

No, doesn’t excite me. Ugly virgins get pretty wound up by it though.

Lmao know one even knows you exist.

Many on their management are veterans from the Halo days

That makes it even worse. Growing complacent on victory's of the past.

I was a front liner at Woodstock in the 60s

Done anything recently?

No

Coasting on past fame, always backfires.
They would fail the Elon 5 point test it seems now.

Yeah I do. Sales threads are fun and theorizing on flops is fun as well.

when game companies reveal every little detail about a game ahead of time, it's wild to come to a conclusion about it

no it's not

I'd rather enjoy good games

Sometimes, but it's annoying when the poors shit on actual good games to pass the time, because shitting on games is all they can afford to do.

could have been working on a new game for one of their MANY dead IPs, said IPs people were reminded of and fondly remember thanks to Astrobot

continue to push for live service slop

I feel no sorrow.

They have two more coming soon, Marathon and Niggergame$

then my money doesn't exist for them either, simple as

then why do they hate me?

Marathon technically is one of their dead ips.

Only from dogshit companies who've had it coming. I hope Bungie fucking burns.
It's a different feeling when a good dev loses their way. That's sad, and I hope they bounce back, or they end up in the top category if they cling to life through scummy practices.

And yet, they decided to turn to live service, and so, no sorrow.

Bungie get caught stealing Concord failure

tfw you realise that IPs staying dead is for the best and feel nothing but dread whenever you recognise a title

Yes but only when they're made by massive greedy companies like Bungie.

But it IS out. It had a playable visible alpha test. And the verdict is in that it fucking sucks. It plays bad, it’s a bad concept, it barely has fuck all to do with the old marathon, and it’s Bungie’s umpteenth plagiarism incident. Pack it.

But that’s an alpha!

YOU DO NOT GO FROM ALPHA BUILD TO RELEASE IN 4 MONTHS, what massive sweeping changes could they possibly make to repair the reputation here?

Bad Game devs absolutely cannot comprehend the idea that their customers have pattern recognition and can see when games are likely to be bad before they've even played them

As if they're still in the 90s/00s where people didnt really know what a game would be like, outside of magazines and maybe preview at an event, before they got their hands on them.
They just cant comprehend the fact that gamers now have been playing vidya for upwards of 30 years and can recognise jank from kino at a short glance.

Not to mention the internet giving us a LOT more access and insight to the game while its developing, such as whos working on the game, their history of projects, more footage, more early hands on with the games etc.

Basically: Good devs respect players and make a game THEY want to play, and then we froth at the mouth and pay them whatever they want to play it. And they get to stand back and say "Haha, knew you'd like it champ. Go nuts"

Bad devs TELL us what they THINK we should want to play, then try to haphazardly slap shit together and serve it to us. Then act flabbergasted as if that style works in any other industry

Nah It's fun as fuck, specially when you KNOW It's going to be shit while piggies oink at you telling you it will be amazing and not to judge it too soon

Sony decides to kill their last good studio to focus on more god of onions and the last of us tier slop

was retarded enough to buy a PS5

It's over

I don’t know how we got to the point where every single piece of media in existence needs to be turned into a franchise or else it’s “dead”.
It’s okay for a game to just get one or two entries in it’s lifetime. Not everything needs a constant stream of sequels and to maintain relevance in public conscience for all eternity. Some people need to learn to just let go.

Fairgame$ isn't going to get released.

i guess that answers the question i asked a few months before concord came out, if devs look at their games when they're developing it and realize that it looks like the exact type of shit the flops on release

AAA games with activist developers, yeah. Love watching them fail.

Yes, because the people making them wish to see me dead for being an Aryan man. They are vehemently trying to ruin the legacy of every single thing I've ever enjoyed.

An article came out that said doom caused columbine

not really this is about say, the people who worked on Concord's netcode
They can point out that Concord's netcode worked perfectly fine, there were no problems with it, they delivered it as demanded
The fact that the rest of the game was absolute dogshit is not their fault, and people hiring them know that

It's because the people in the industry top down (leftists) are literal communists who think labor = value so if they worked really hard on something then it must be inherently valuable. It doesn't matter to them that the end product is attractive to nobody (because they can't stop themselves from subverting expectations) - they worked 10 years on it so it must be worth a lot!

The problem is that the people who WERE responsible for Concord's failure also get hired again after the failure.
Concord's art director got a job at Blizzard.
That retard should never work in the industry ever again, he's one of the main reasons that game failed.

defending bungie when they just got caught stealing again

Bungie even stole Concord failure

I agree the average worker and low iq cheap labour pajeet does not care how well the game does. But I assure you some of the true believer woke cultists do care.

Yes. because gamers don't have a good idea what they want

Yes,

the ignorant morons in charge have been lied to about the demographics of gamers
they genuinely believe that 50% of gamers (who actually buy games) are women
they also fail to realize that it is men who dictate what is popular or not, kids play what the adult men are playing, and women always follow suit because it isnt about the game for them, its a social thing
ignoring this has resulted in studio closure after studio closure, and quite honestly it is deserved

the only industry that feels entitled to an audience?

2016

former dev

who?
concord's developers were warning sony it was gonna be a fucking turd for ages, this is contradictory to what we know they were telling sony

When people / things get what they deserve it's observed in a positive or at least neutral light.
When people / things don't get what they deserve it's most often observed in a negative light.

Marathon failing and the people who made it looks well deserved so people either don't care or cheer, simple as.

When posting that one I recommend also posting how journos reported the "issue".

I enjoy it when the games are shitty nigger slop
I would prefer if the devs made good games and the games were successful, but they have chosen the path of shitty nigger slop and flops

saved, thanks

obligatory

Yes, when it's deserved. (Basically all AAA studios deserve to fail)

Jenny deserved her own game...

you're right that it's almost certainly BS, but that is the prevailing narrative inside the company right now. obviously because executives want to cover their ass they're painting it as one delusional guy's brain child

I do when its from a studio that stole a game I foolishly bought from them.

Don't worry, OP. I know you don't actually have the emotional complexity of a blue haired woman from Colorado, and that you're just trying to have some excitement about a hobby that is currently infested with corporate mismanagement and social engineering at every corner of the internet. Video games will go back to normal as soon as everything else does.

youtube.com/watch?v=K6BRQKHYkjQ

To be charitable to them, they were looking at Tarkov's success, and possibly Hunt Showdown when it was at its peak almost 4 years ago. The current highest played PLAYTEST was this, btw.

BRICK FEELS

I enjoy watching these retards who infected the industry and hates it's costumers fail.
Also "it's wild to me". Literally how can he still be so deluded that this comes as a surprise? The moron worked on Concord so it shouldn't be a shocking but still... have they listened to ANY criticism or do they just filter out everything that isn't kissing their ass?

Do you ENJOY watching games fail?

Woke games? Yes. Love it. Well deserved punishment.

Is there a way I can somehow speed up gaming industry collapse?

Yes.

took WAY too long to find this
thanks, anon

maratroon the long march to concord 2

It's because the people in the industry top down (leftists) are literal communists

literally nobody in the industry with any position of power is a communist

I don't think that's entirely true, there's games like love and deepspace, inzoi, infinity nikki that only women play, however you'll have to keep it in mind that women are extremely frivolous spenders, they'll drop a bag of money on games in a whim but they will not stay dedicated and loyal to a single game or franchise or company, when you make a game aimed at women you should always plan for just making a quick buck and then instantly pulling out, you can only plan long term seasons and franchises if you're aiming at a male audience, who tend to be loyal and dedicated

What money, you zoomer fuck ? Lmao

it was gut-wrenching to get paid a salary for 8 years and then watch a project fail after I did some minimal work on a small portion of it

I was supposed to coast for the next 5+ years by supporting post-launch content for this shit, what am I going to do nowwwww?????

Guess you'll have to get a new jobby just like everyone else who loses their job for reasons within or outside of their control. You are not special just because you care more than the average NPC about your work. Nothing in life is guaranteed. The good news is that at least you were compensated for your time; anyone with a pulse should've seen the possibility (inevitability) of concord failing. Anything less is ignorance.

I enjoy watching assholes suffer and the gaming industry does have quite a bunch

I enjoy watching the hopes and dreams of leftist scum shatter before their eyes.
But its just the beginning, before the end of my life I will see the look on their faces as they are thrown into mass graves and buried alive. The greater the suffering globalist rats experience, the greater joy righteous people will feel.

"soduko"

????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

lol let's be real, the zog is only allowing the pusback against woke shit because they need to increase the morale of white males in the west for the upcoming ww3

Because they are communists, they think its literally your obligation to help a gay niggerfaggot dev member of the commune survive and you aren't contributing.
They never got the memo that majority of the world has not consented to being part of their global commune and wants to see them die.

reinforced gross stereotypes

simple puzzle games, slice of life farming games and some popular shooter

kek they don't even know what they're saying

Trans Day of Visibility is the funniest fucking thing ever. Your five-o-clock shadow is visible 365 days per year, bro.

I feel bad for the girl who made the original article

hmmm I wonder what games girls like to play, guess I'll research it and make a list, that sounds like fun

basedboys on twitter come out of the woodwork

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WOMEN DON'T PLAY THOSE STUPID GARBAGE GAMES YOU'RE NOT A REAL WOMAN THAT'S SEXIST AND DISGUSTING

pure cringe

because for the last like... 15 years you could release a game with reconized name and you will still make your money back.
But now the competition for entertainment has exploded, streaming, games, live sports betting/f2p games, youtube, shorts/tiktok. There is go free audience anymore, if you don't deliver at least a half decent product you won't get shit.
Its weird to say but the standards for consuming slop has greatly increased, if your game isn't more simulating than scrolling through 60 second clips of random sitcom clips, your game has no chance.
Is this Marathon game even going to be f2p? Doesn't help extraction shooters were over done years ago.

noooo anon let me post the pepperoni pizza airplane picture, you're surrounded by 10/10 ultra hot fuckable troons every day but you just don't notice

Women are absolutely a dominate force in terms of buying games now, but they just like different things and for the most part don't like slop.
A lot of the shit that guys complain about they do too, half the complaints about saints row reboot was women bitching about why the female boss creator was so fucking ass

Don't like slop

Anon, women are primarily mobile phone gamers. Which, coincidentally, is how microtransactions have become such a huge part of monetization these days for all sorts of games.

I think there's still a sizable redditor subhuman audience that will buy any crap just because I RECOGNISE THAT NAME like the retards they are, but game development costs in the west have ballooned way out of proportion which is why they never make their money back, they spent 400 million on concord, 400 million on that steaming pile of turd, star wars outlaws sold a million copies, despite being an absolute piece of shit game, but it was a colossal failure because it cost at least 200 million to make, the main thing that these companies need to figure out is where they're bleeding so much fucking money during development

Women are only prevalent in mobile games, they are like a couple % of computer/console gamers.

I feel like a larger number of women are present in the console space. It's unfortunate that a bunch of bad actors infiltrate the space to cry oppression because there's definitely a double-digit percentage of women who play video games for the same reasons we do. Unfortunately they get lumped in with all of the danger-hair mentally damaged freaks.

Overall yes but its definitely has gotten more common for women to play more "legit" games. I've seen more chicks with switches in public than dudes for example.
Stuff like BG3, Hogwarts Legacy, now E33 have all been very popular with women, not even just the crap like sims/hm/animal crossing.

Ironic since you yourself posted white v white propaganda written by a kike

Yes

Magneto is Jewish though???

Stuff like BG3, Hogwarts Legacy, now E33

legit games

lmao

I've enjoyed watching path of exile 2 fail, such a pathetic waste made by fat retard devs with no clue what day it is

breaking news but women aren't typically into the pedobait gacha shit you put 80 hours a week into

This.

Completely wrong, they just see themselves as future Party leaders.

Compared to candy crush and mobile shit 100%

Apparently they're into shitty wegs.

These are the same retards that claim reposting art is theft by the way proclaiming not to shit on a game that stole assets flagrantly

Nooo we're all powerful w-we wanted this

I've seen your political donations.

wrong, women love gacha games

noooo goyim, it's totally organic! just sign up for ww3 because it's based and it's to protect the uhhh, white race or something lol

people have called it years ago, and it's happening exactly as predicted, while I enjoy trannies crying about getting sidelined I still am very much aware that it's just theater and you'll regret it if you get swept along with it

yeah I do

Do you ENJOY watching games fail?

Holy shit, you CAN'T imagine how much joy it gives me.

any games I'm not interested in I just ignore entirely, only reason why I would say I dislike games failing is because it makes people on here even more obnoxious than usual

concord shut down after two weeks

marathon shut down after beta

fairgames shut down after trailer

i wonder how big their bonuses will be

FPBP
All major game companies suck ass these days, and my backlog has welcomed me with open arms. Feels good to play games which want you to have fun and immerse yourselves with the characters rather than skinnerboxes and propaganda stands for Blackrock.

FPBP
Reminder they canceled TLOU2 multiplayer for Concord

LET THAT SINK IN FOR A MOMENT

yes and I want the entire videogame industry to crash and burn at this point

you don't actually want that because then you wouldn't have anything to vapidly complain about 24/7 under the guise of activism, which is your actual hobby

THINK OF THE POOR DEVS MATRIX FORCED THEM TO MAKE CONCORD

Killzone trilogy when?

and I'm glad it makes people like you seethe

yes, i enjoy watching obviously bad products fail. there is no excuse for such a bad product as concord was to leave the dev room and be released. no suits should push it out, no directors should be satisfied with it, no workers should settle or compromise that it was acceptable. if marathon follows the same beats, so be it. fuck garbage. learn your lesson and make an actually good game.

funny how when I notice things it's me seething, but your entire hobby of crying over everything while pretending you're just noticing things isn't.

I've seen more chicks with switches in public than dudes for example.

I notice things

don't flatter yourself, pattern recognition is an alien concept to your lot

clearly not considering you admitted my observation was on point in your first reply to me bozo.

It's sad to see but also immensely validating (Concord), some are amusing wrecks too (Fallout 76).
