Why are you like this?

make shit game

people don't buy

"m-muh anti-fans"

Man this is fucking pathetic now.

It's a small toxic community

They are just a loud minority!!!!!11

OMG this small toxic minority is manipulating EVERYONE into disliking our game!!!!

TRUST ME BRO EVERYONE LOVES OUR PRODUCT, ITS JUST A VERY SMALL GROUP THAT HAS SOMEHOW CAUSED OUR ENTIRE GAME TO FLOP!!!!!11

I didn't even do anything, I just didn't play their game.

These "developers" keeps antagonizing the audience over criticism.

Fable

Nigga that's Microsoft's doing and your tantrum ain't hurting them since they are "pc ecosystem" itself.

why wouldnt you shave your head at this point

Schrodingers boogeyman: chuds are simultaneously impotent incel losers screaming into the void and a major threat that's destroying the industry and need to be stopped at all costs

console warring tards have been bashing console exclusives for decades

no one bats an eye

make shitty games that don't sell and alienate old fans

ITS DOS GOSH DARN ANTI-FANS

It’s fine if they don’t learn anything, they can sit in their echo chamber and continue to cry and blame everyone else when they fail.

Its ok when we do it

The "anti-fans" are a reaction to the cultural warriors that have spent the last 15 years trying to subvert dude-bro games with literal faggotry, and run smear campaigns from within the literal games media in attempt to destroy developer/publishers that didn't bend the knee to globohomo egalitarian bullshit.

You made your bed, now get fucked for every single transfaggot party member you wrote in the name of progress

see shit gaym

"it isn't made for you chud!"

proceed to ignore it

shit gaym flops

"it's all your fault chud!"

kek

They told me if I don’t like it then I shouldn’t buy it. So I didn’t buy it.

the point he's making is even more retarded than people assuming it's just those that don't buy it
he's finding out for the first time that if someone doesn't like your product they'll tell way more people about how terrible it is versus people that like it
its genuinely one of the most retarded things someone could say

But my bot farms who never stop posting positive things about who I am and what I do told me people loved it…

anti-fans wanting games to fail to send developers lessions

anti-fans

you mean customers who bought the previous titles??
people are fed up with products that we bought in the past being made shittier and shittier as time goes on
new products like concord, avowed and forspoken failed because they were just that embarrassing

publishers aren't publishing what people actually want to buy

This, whenever I see people defending dogshit like this it’s always the same thing, they never describe why it’s good and just make empty statements or go into logical fallacies right off the bat. Meanwhile I can and have given a whole list of reasons why failhard is dogshit.

And as long as shareholder satisfaction is a higher priority than customer retention it will always remain that way

They know what they did. They know even more than I do what they did.

Too much effort.

Do you actually think it would improve his chances to get laid?

publishers aren't publishing what people actually want to buy

yeah they're publishing what (((SOMEONE))) wants to convince people to enjoy. It's endless propaganda machines and people are getting fucking fed up.

Can't tell which is worst either these people genuinely think this or investors are dumb enough to believe them

shareholders are not happy with these big publishers lying to their face about their sales numbers through terminology obfuscation
the change is happening, slowly, but it's happening, there's only so many game pass bombs before "total engagement" can't pass the sniff test anymore
my latest conspiracy when i learned that the canadian government astroturfed sweet baby inc is that canada and their chinese investors intentionally sabotaged western video game companies in order for china to overtake the market
could be complete bullshit, but look at how china looks now on the horizon, they are practically going to own the entire industry after the collapse of the western AAA gaming market

What's the upside in contracting Sweet Baby Inc to work on your game if it's not getting ESG stamp of approval to your company for investors?

like anything else behind the scenes, corporate nepotism
sweet baby got into a lot of cookie jars because of being vouched for and recommended by different producers that, if you trace their roots, somehow has ties to government agencies and resources

Anti-fans as in people who didn't buy the game because it looked bad?

Pretty sure it's still for the ESG rating.

man who ruined video game series 14 years ago says thing to stay relevant

lol

bros, how are chuds so powerful...?

Isn't this faggot responsible for the original Baldurs Gate games getting delisted and replaced with the "Enhanced" Editions

/thread

seems like he didn't learn his lesson and is in need of another flop

gameplay in the new dragon age wasn't that bad
actually
all the woke stuff really is one of it's biggest flaws.

they never say the fans are wrong though :)

They do webm related to franchises I enjoyed.

they turned from game developers to religious missionaries that must sacrifice everything good to the altar of social justice democrats and preach to me endlessly about how the world ought be through their garbage games and im sick to fucking death of it.

What the fuck is this shit

He's not completely wrong. People here hate on games simply because a few promo pics have a woman or black dude.

what did those developers do to you?

ruined something i love. any questions?

im glad they do because when i see their religious iconography its an instant not buy so you aren't wrong.

I'm basically an anti-fan for all modern western franchises and most AAA Japanese franchises these days.
The publishers/developers decided that I can get fucked, so I'm going to celebrate their suffering.

Diversity autism aside, he has a point, the internet is literally just outrage culture and nothing else nowadays

the left did this, they are the ones who have drawn the lines in the sand and divided society like this don't blame people for picking sides when it was YOU FUCKING PEOPLE who did this.

I only want games to fail when they look gay and bad

the left did this

yes but outside of politics, even if a game had none in it at all people will still want the game to fail, literally everyone on the internet has a hateboner for video games now, its just a massive disconnect

silicon valley and by extension the games industry is the capitol of the left what the fuck are you fucking talking about man, you are going to tell me its not the mecca of the left when it clearly is when you take one look at the development teams we are talking about.

he's right that there are culture war retards who sperg out on the internet, but he's wrong that these people determine whether a game fails or succeeds. he just wants a boogeyman to blame for games failing.

kek
how else do you address the loser serving you shit on a plate while harassing you problem

outrage culture and nothing else nowadays

nowadays

Not really, plenty of games get glazed too. Expedition 33, Balatro, Helldivers, Wukong, Metaphor... just to name a few recent ones. You just need to make a decent game with no forced ideology forced down your throat. Even the Oblivion remaster got glazed even though it doesn't really deserve it (it's still shit).

lets take a trip down memory lane shall we

pic very much related

there was a kotaku article from 2009 i think
that was the earliest one

The perfect example of a chimp brain in action; wanting to attack others then being confused and angry when others fight back.

nothing to say now is that it, you still going to deny what you've done to the industry and keep blaming the consumer i despise you people in ways that are hard for me to put into words.

They gaslight themselves into thinking their game is the best thing ever. The left has a bad habit of doing that.

If anti-fans are so important that they cause million-dollar marketing campaigns to fail, then doesn't it make more sense to make games with content that will turn "anti-fans" into fans? Like, what we talk about all the time, removing ugly feminist Type B characters with vitiligo and going back to creating heroes (male and female) who are idealized both in terms of aesthetics and personality? This would be a good first step, but I don't know...

Spend the last 20 years infecting everyone with cynicism to destroy Christianity and trust in social contracts

Be surprised that the cynicism also extends to corporate branding when you have fucked over your customers one too many times

The wild monkey bites brutality.

Even if you fight, you can't win.

Well are they learning lessons?
What about developers putting DEI shit and worse to teach "gamers" lessons? That's good though?

i love that they blame everyone but themselves for making a shitty game no one wants

thats why i save this shit beucase i can rub this shit in their fucking ugly faces they know that picture in particular is UGLY they know it i know it you know it we all know it, that fucking seminar is disgusting and all the people who bought into it and forced into every western industry should burn in hell for all im concerned.

Ehh, mostly the western internet.
The eastern internet still has fans who are excited for and like things, largely because eastern creatives who make things their audience likes because they want to entertain their audience still exist.
The west decided to collectively hate their audience if they're not gay, black, or female, so as a result everything surrounding them is negative.
And even the west still has smaller AA and indie devs who make things that fans like, I'm not a big fan personally, but Clair Obscura was clearly made by people who don't hate their potential fans and wanted to make something people would enjoy.

Not having a wave of journos write a shitload of hit pieces about you.

Bioware are the Real antifans

now the threads dead lmao i hate you fucks so much its crazy all it took is that picture and you scurry off like rats with light shined on them.

destroy the lore of games loved by millions

"WTF why do they persecute me so?!"

Is me wanting games to fail enough to... actually fail? Do I have that power?

Anti-fan means opposite to fanatic. Sounds good to me.

the anti-fans posted videos of the tranny shit we put in games and now people won't buy them!

Don't put tranny shit in your games then?

leave debra alone

the thing is those people are all psychopaths, sociopaths and compulsive liars, they have no morals and they're incapable of feeling shame

Homeworld 3

the cognitive dissonance is stunning to watch "wait did we say that but i- but we-"

the internet is literally just outrage culture and nothing else nowadays

I disagree with that.
I've never had any problems on the Internet, even though I make degenerate porn games. In fact, I find it hilarious to see people making family-friendly games getting involved in online chaos and fights, when I make stuff for weirdos like me, but my experiences on the Internet have all been civilized and positive for 1 decade.
Maybe these guys should stop using the Internet as a platform to talk shit and antagonize others, and act like professionals. I don't have an account on any website, I only have a single discussion group where I interact with people, and only about my games, nothing else. Sometimes some people get offended and angry at me because of my work, but I never dehumanize them, and as you'd expect, they immediately respect me when I respect them.
It's all so simple... Just treat the Internet as a tool, not as a bar where you make provocative comments while drunk.

why do they hate their audience and consumers so much?

How am I an "anti fan?" I haven't done anything yet you are so angry.

STOP IT RIGHT NOW AND DO SOMETHING AHHHHHH

Yes there's a lot of autism involved but so what? The tone of the article makes it sound like evil anti-fans sperging on the internet is enough to make games fail. If that's all it takes to make your game fail then it was a shit product and devs are preemptively coping.

how was the first game even made by this faggot?

Baldur's Gate 2, Neverwinter Nights and KOTOR apparently.
