Sweet Baby Inc. and the Steam Curator Group Conspiracy - The company that is responsible for the diarrheic video game writing.

[Opposite of a Winner]

Honestly, I have 55 older titles on PC that I've rebought (since moving over from console) and a few older titles on GOG, not to mention my backlog with regards to emulating older consoles. As I've said previously, I've got enough content to last years. I don't really need the modern AAA industry anymore. I'm just here to point and laugh while it collapses in on itself in a singularity of retardation like the rest of you fine folks here.

I feel so out of the loop with modern AAA titles because I genuinely don't care for them. Like even without the Sweetbaby retard shit I always didn't care for them since I want to say around the mid 2010s? There are some exceptions of course like getting Red Dead 2 because it's a genuinely fun game and foolishly getting Cyberpunk out of sheer morbid curiosity to see how terrible it was initial launch but aside from those that spark of interest in AAA games has been dead in me for years like even shit I feel like I would've given a shit about like GTA6 I genuinely don't care for it nor have interest in.

The public's current perception on Gamergate proves to me that, even in this age of the Internet and everything being recorded, you can still get away with just lying about what actually happened.

The Internet has taught me that confirmation bias is one of the most powerful biases in the human psyche.

If GTA6 is trash it will do to gaming what ET did years ago. And I’m perfectly fine with it, let it burn so gaming goes back to it’s roots as a niche hobby enjoyed by nerds and not this disgusting bloated corporate mainstream trash

The Krynn series is probably my favorite and they all have those fantasy adventure elements fans of a BG3 type game would like if they get past the old graphics. Death Knights of Krynn could almost be classified as an open world game with all the side quests.

I love these games. I was going to replay them but I'm pretty sure I had hacked versions with no level limits per game, I want to find them. I got rekt in Death Knights of Krynn as a kid, and tried replaying Champions over and over with the same party, for experience. I got so good at Champions I could start and win with a party of only knights, just resting for 1 hp a day until they would start getting cleric spells.

Death Knights is my favorite, it blew my mind w.r.t. how much content and interactivity could be in a game.

Gateway was second-best (that was before I found out how degenerate Forgotten Realms were -- it was a new, mysterious setting, the same type of sparse "storytelling" people would later praise in e.g. Dark Souls).

Dark Queen of Krynn was cockblock after cockblock, completely unfun as the plot goes, there wasn't a single thing the heroes accomplished, but the dungeons were cool. I love to hate the gong, I love to hate the pass system, I love to hate the column maze, I love to get lost underwater looking for that fucking hinge. I like that they managed to keep the game playable and strategic at high levels. The new sprites were nice, but I wish the dark wizard enemy sprite was available for PCs.

Azure Bonds was a rough start, then I learned to deal with random patrols first and was wrecking everything in sight. (Awesome novels, too.)

That would just cause blanket crash on gaming market, with possibility that corpos take wrong lessons from it.
Better scenario would be one where ESG-infested games severely underperformed compared to general sales.

The gaming market deserves a major crash. Not just because of the ESG shit, but for the overall plummeting quality of games and the blatant disrespect publishers have shown to their customers.

From loot boxes to battle passes to day one DLC and patches, over the past ten years the gaming industry has put far more effort into hosing and cheating their customers instead of making games with any standard of quality. The video game industry has become too greedy and bloated for its own good. It needs to be humbled a bit.

If there is a crash, the industry will be just fine. It might shrink, but the market isn't going to be completely wiped out like in the 80s.

Imagine calling for a doxx war against what is probably the most formidable opponent (outside military intelligence and law enforcement) with your fucking domain in your profile. Betcha really wish you paid the extra $2.50 a year for whois privacy, ehh dipshit?

Some CCTLDs do not allow for whois privacy. Some european countries are known to be like that, and is the reason I let my CCTLD domains expire a loooong time ago.

I got the dox of a furfag just looking at the whois registry in more than one ocasion, just they are not that lolcow worthy.

Edit: In fact, the list of TLDs without privacy is MASSIVE

I think this is how it's gonna die. The whole issue is gonna be strawmanned into oblivion now that the Goobergobber word is being officially used.

Gamergate being the label of choice has already inspired cringe gay retards to think this is their opportunity to do some real work and finally get rid of those pesky non-Gamers, whoever they are.

It's bad enough they aren't following the playbook -- the reason GG of yesteryear started off strong was that there were no figureheads that could be tarred and feathered, until there were. There were no centralized meeting points, until there were(8chan, reddit, both shitposted/gayopped into uselessness). There was no specific reasoning behind it, until there was("ethics in games journalism" was the gayest thing and got co-opted at the speed of sound, it was better when it was for absolutely no reason other than "fuck you, that's why").

If there is a crash, the industry will be just fine. It might shrink, but the market isn't going to be completely wiped out like in the 80s.

It wasn't wiped out in the 80s either. When the supposed crash of 83 was happening, it was a boom time for home computers and indie devs.

Better scenario would be one where ESG-infested games severely underperformed compared to general sales.

I heard recently that WB looked at the success of Harry Potter, and the failure of Suicide Squad, and decided that what games want is more Suicide Squad type games.

I'll admit things like Cyberpunk do interest me, if only for a stress test for my soon to be completed rig. But most modern triple A just doesn't. I'm perfectly fine playing older games or my autistic World of Warships aiming simulator game, because it's fun.

Slight tangent, but Dragon's Dogma 2 is a true stress test at this point.

He works for Proxy Studios on an upcoming game called ZEPHON.

I just think people should know that fact. I would advise your friends not to purchase this game, and maybe spread the word.
ZEPHON is the game you don't want to buy.

Spoiler: Guess what?

I was hoping for something like this, absolutely glorious.

Yeah, the story definitely sounded like it was missing a few key details. Glad we have them here. It did seem like the story of a socially awkward journo awkwardly trying to insert himself into a meetup , only to leave.

Fucking yikes. I guess that's another thing about modern gaming, a I9 equivalent core is becoming recommended. Just why? I've spent a ton of money on my rig, I don't want to spend more.

 

[DumbDude43]

Considering the state of people feeling the calling to teach stateside are you sure it's a downside? If at least one culture can stay totally free from danger hair indoctrination it's a good thing isn't it?

it's a downside for weebs because english teacher is the main way they can make their "live in glorious nippon" dreams a reality, so if that goes away weebs are sad

Since Take This! is getting namedropped with grants via the fucking DoHS bitching about anonymity and "terrorists in games" I might as well say the first time I heard of them was over a decade ago when listening to the "Continue?Cast". Group of youtube people but the guy who always read out the Take This speil wasn't on the youtube channel, visually at least. Luke Brown was his name. https://continue.fandom.com/wiki/Luke_Brown

>Luke is an experienced video game journalist

lol..,
Based on other posts it sounds like this isn't new for them, I hadn't thought or heard about them at all when GG was happening, crazy what they've become

Here's another main example of a delusional retard (Kahlief Adams) that thinks evidence of Kotaku and Sweet Baby Inc's harassment, IS NOT EVIDENCE TO HIM.

 

[P. Barnes’ THOT 2.0]

Idk if this has been brought up, but what SBI and these companies are failing to grasp is what the youth are playing or are interested in. They’re pandering to their fellow adult degenerates that dont even buy the shit they’re selling, and it seems as though they’re not taking into account the kids that have spending money and time.

Granted, I’m going off of the handful of teenagers I know, but they’re playing shit like genshin and that train game by the same company, valorant, overwatch, lol, and Roblox horror games.

E:I’m a dummy phone poster

Just remember when you think GAMERGATE is over, it's not.

We're just going into new game plus.

The public's current perception on Gamergate proves to me that, even in this age of the Internet and everything being recorded, you can still get away with just lying about what actually happened.

They might make it seem that way. But a friend reported Gamergate 2 made it to the Danish newspapers. "Uncovering pits of media of corruption."
I am guessing it helps that, even during the pandemic, they were one of the few European countries suffering least from the corruption.

In the 'rest' of the corrupt 'west' will have to live with the fact that...
"We know they're lying. They know we know they're lying, but they keep lying to us. -"
But we don't need to keep pretending to believe them and play their game. No matter how many people they line up to tell their lies. People know

I'm going to side with Clownfish here, and believe Kotaku is nearing the chopping block. Rooster Teeth and Deadspin already went down

Some guy replied "Mark, none of that happened" and I think that about sums it up.

How could the meetup be "at a children's playground" and at "Pax East Aus" at the same time?

he met up with a group of pedophiles at a playground thinking they were secret gamer agents
