What led the video game industry to this unfortunate timeline?

Women

Jawline is pretty square on the left there...

The middle picture is ugly as shit though.

you're gay

Middle but later in the industry is pic related

they were trying their best

People will say women, which is true, but the bigger issue is normalfags. Vidya was only good when it was a niche hobby for autistic nerds.

i have to be able to coom or else it's a bad game

another typical incel thread
yawn

The niche groups constantly move to something new and then as soon as the normies find it they ruin it. It's insane how obvious it is with literally every hobby. The internet made it even easier when social media became the norm.

comparing 1999 CG based on comic art to now

the low iq is strong

My only hope is that as AI bots infest the internet, advertisers will pull out because who the fuck is going to pay for an ad when 98% of your viewers are calculators, and without sponsorships all the eceleb shit promoting this stuff to the masses will fade away and normalfag interest with it.

Low IQ post and totally unrelated to what OP is talking about. But of course you will never understand because you were born in this shit era.

So dead internet theory. It's going to happen, especially with AI infesting everything now. Even Youtube is infested where it's so fucking obvious. You can tell from some threads even on Anon Babble they're not real and AI or bot generated.

The only way to save this industry is an HD remake of Custer's revenge

Youtube completely infested

some major talent agency that owns a ton of ecelebs, namely Markiplier, got caught viewbotting like 70% of their metrics in order to get larger advertising contracts

a major political subreddit was discovered to be 60% bots being run by some think tank to see how effective chatbots are at convincing people to change political stances

Future looks bright.

Obama's second term gave the left too much power and caused an imbalance
It was of course this very imbalance which caused a major polarity shift that resulted in Trump coming to power

If only that flake Romney had won, just the right type of RINO mediocrity that would have kept the balance without being too right wing. Oh well.

Facebook is the obvious bot infested platform, it's absolutely done with, I haven't touched it in years. Youtube and Reddit are the obvious next, you can just take a few looks at the comments and no normal person would talk like that.

That then game bombed by the way.

you mean the fact they committed fraud to let him win that second mandate

Idk right is cute in a "i want to shot it with a shotgun" kind of way

explain

I'm going to masturbate this evening. Thoughts?

i had my tabs open in the background for the last 5 hours and i cant find the energy

Thoughts?

What genre/theme are you going?

What

Yup, same shit happened to anime too.

be grateful you're still granted the luxury of being able to tell the difference
things are moving quickly

Old boomers making games

Young boomers making games

Gen Xrs making games

Real answer: video games became mainstream. The industry now rivals and often surpasses Hollywood in terms of budget and sales. They are in every household and now even your mom probably plays something on her smartphone. Publishers used to push back against critics asking for censorship like Jack Thompson because they were at risk of losing their biggest audience if they didn't. Now they have no reason to go up to bat. It's much smarter to play it safe and release products that will sell to as many people as possible. They have no reason to pander to us nerds anymore.

Harvey Weinstein got arrested. Ugly women didn't exist in entertainment when he was in charge.

Here you go.

That would make sense if they were colluding instead of competing. That's like saying the moon landing didn't happen despite even the Soviets admitting it happened. It would only make sense if they were working together behind the scenes.

The zoomer brain is just poisoned from the womb, i somehow managed to teach my father how to work the PC i put in his living room as a "media center" to watch all the free movies he could ever want, but my nephew refuses to even entertain the thought, he prefers paying the $20 for his goyflix sub, $30 for crunchygoy, iirc $20 for sgoytify, etc, even though everything is literally a few clicks (touches?) away, for absolutely free.

Its for bad for you, you'll understand this later in life

beauty mark

twintails

I'm already cumming.

That middle one looks structurally impossible

You didn't attempt to gatekeep this hobby enough so now were stuck with the fucked up choices of a creatively desolate gaming industry and the people employed by them.

You see similar gacha mechanics from game developers that overall hate sexy characters. Take a look at Blizzard, where, when they need money, they'll give a PG sexy outfit to Mercy, or whatever. And of course, OG Overwatch had lootboxes.

Companies are easily swayed by incorrect data, which women at “colleges” replicate whenever pleasing

I really need a social media like Anon Babble where you are 100% sure nobody are bots, everyone is over 18, and it is semi anonymous. Then it would finally be good. Also would need general geo location so only north americans can get into certain boards, south americans can only get into theirs, ect.

they already have the males and now want to expand gaming audience to females

I have incel fatigue

r u trans or something?

Also would need general geo location so only north americans can get into certain boards,

Oh I would want this but remove the US entirely. Or at least the west coast.

White men with empathy who instead of guarding their power they started thinking "oh gee golly we should let more brown people into the industry that would be swell oh yea and that nice old man Chaim Shekelstein is nice enough to fund all of this"

Games like mid don't really exist

Most game devs arent horny 17 year olds anymore

I pity the zoomer because they have been doomed to be completely raised by normies. Everything they see and do is monitored and then influenced to not stick out to a problematic degree; shit like toilet memes are fine because its not edgy but Ugandan knuckles is a dogwhistle for racism. Every edge and imperfection smoothed out to uniform, mono-culture, blandness of brainrot. In the past, there were tons of weird sub-cultures on the internet, where edginess can thrive away from the judgment of mainstream media.But now the zoomer can't get to it without getting gatekept either by parental controls, age controls, or just older millennials acting like the baby boomers.

I have chud fatigue

video games used to be for incels. there was no point in trying to appeal to women because everyone knew they weren't going to get sex out of it no matter what they did. then games got more mainstream and some of those incels started to think that if they pretended that they "respect women" those women would have sex with them. simping attracted more simps to the point where the industry is run by them now and the original incel audience has been forced out.

look! under his tongue! the hymen!

and there's the hymen from last time!

Drop the Catholic and "trad style" and you'll find thousands of them in rural communities.

All of these are unfappable

e-males

Personal computing was a dumb fad. Streaming is more efficient and simpler. You just don't realize this yet because you use an outdated operating system.

Girls like this hook up with redneck party boys. Not out of shape introverted video game nerds.

"the video game industry" is not some collective that decides on everything they're all going to do at a big round table in a bunker

Yeah, no shit. If you want a 10/10 wife you've got to be a 10/10 husband.

I always thought Zoomers would just know the internet better than me but it turns out they're a million times more computer illiterate than Boomers
These kids literally don't even know how to torrent or use P2P programs they just lock in their 12 bucks a month Slopscriptions

first it was the puritans think of the children type. now its retards virtue signaling on twitter

literally says dont be a bigot

youre being a bigot

???

Don't be a tranny.

Underrated

Yeah, no shit. If you want a 10/10 wife you've got to be a 10/10 husband.

Astonishing clarity for a board like Anon Babble

Yeah, no shit. If you want a 10/10 wife you've got to be a 10/10 husband.

here's your 10/10 wife

What led the video game industry to this unfortunate timeline?

Huh?

She isn't wrong...

She's not wrong, but also she's a solid 1.5/10.

The thing is, I like girls. I like competent, beautiful and smart female heroines. Doesn't everyone? Is it literally seethe from jealous femmoids? Don't worry Chad will always be there for you lol, not like you wanna fuck vidya nerds anyways

Yes, we like interesting and well written female characters. The problem is that feminists (and there are an unfortunate amount of them in writing positions) cannot write a woman who is strong AND loves men, or at least doesn't hate them. The female characters from the 80s and 90s, like Samus, Zelda, Lara Croft, Roll, Aerith, and so on don't hate men. At worst, they have no contact with them like Samus, but are otherwise kind and compassionate.

Strong women are wholly different from strong men. These hacks don't agree that there are fundamental differences between men and women and thus just write their "strong female character" as a man with tits.

Where's your slurpee?

Kek

I deserve and expect a solid 6.5, instead I get 3s who are all deluded by social media into thinking they're 10s

there aren't "just" and unfortunate amount of them, the entire modern literary world is dominated by either feminist women or/and effeminate men, there's not an ounce of testosterone on modern writing rooms.

Even if you win the lottery and get the 1/100 non-feminist modern writers, the HR overseers will strike it down and make it lame and gay before it reaches the shelves. AAA is fucking dead.

appealing to wider audiences for more money means trying to offend less people

You're half right. Its cause bama man removed a law that prevented propaganda from being shoved down your throat in everything.
Now propaganda is in every single thing you consume, even a horror magazine I bought yesterday had an op-ed whining about the orange man, and a fan email asking people to MASK UP AND GET VAXXED at conventions.
The fucking magazine is from Canada, like fuck me man, I'm just trying to read about seldom seen horror movies and books.
I finished the read the magazine and threw it away.
