On that it's true since i remember that Fallout has been infested with trannies since New Vegas and a lot of indie fandoms, when a game gets traction, it gest swarmed by trannies.
tbh i thought Late Stage Capitalism is more of "Something horrific and abusive exploited by amoral people/corporations that bribe politicians has come to light".
To my knowledge, the socialist argument that capitalism is staged isn’t anything new. In fact, the early proponents argued that we were already at the final stage of capitalism. It’s funny when young socialists argue that we totally are approaching “late-stage capitalism” when, according to the aforementioned theorists, we’re already there for many decades now.
So it's like the Climate Change activists that since 30 years ago claimed that the poles would melt in 10 and earth would be uninhabitable in 20
The opposite to my understanding, funnily enough. They believe that because of competition eventually margins and ROI will become zero ("tendency of the rate of profit to fall") and as a result the entire economy will go bankrupt and usher in the glorious revolution.
You forget that they also believe that there will be an overabundance of goods around that will allow people to provide everything they need for no cost at all since there is so much of everything it's virtually worthless
The term "Late stage capitalism" was coined later on but it refers to the idea that Marx himself talked about. So as far as I remember the general gist of it is that the more capitalism you have the more unequal and bad everything becomes, also at some point evil western capitalism runs out of places to exploit which speeds the collapse up even more. To say "Late stage capitalism" means to say "capitalism is so developed that we have so much bad stuff that basically revolution is inevitable at any moment".
Amen to this
geeked off that industrial revolution mindset
I 100% believe Toby Fox is a mossad agent designed to infiltrate Nintendo. His games are so gay and childish that I cant imagine any adult enjoys them, it baffles me when I find people who do. But yeah what you said is right, its a psyop to create and sustain a fandom.
This is only applicable to multiplayer games and/or games in active development doe. You can't be seriously complaining about trannies ruining the Fallout fandom or something because those are finished singleplayer games. They have not changed since release and will not be changed in the future, so who the fuck cares about the fandom when the game doesn't make you to interact with it by design.
We had this thing called "Shareware", when your game is free for it's first part\few levels, and then to get the full experience you'd have to buy the full version. Would be something nice to add to the "nostalgic" feeling of one's indie game, since this trick is from the 90's.
never even said Fallout since i didn't specify anything
Pretty much
>...another good Earthbound/Mother inspired game
They need to get the money somehow. And after it became obvious that kickstarter was essentially a very easy way to get scammed they had to figure out something. Frankly I have more confidence in a product that has a clear sustainable buisness plan (I.E episodic release like deltarune) rather than just hoping the game sells well enough to support development.
I generally agree (Duke Nukem Forwver, anyone?), but there are rare exceptions. UFO 50 was in production for eight years and it was amazing.
The AAA equivalent would be these live service multiplayer games that constantly drop small hints for the next update so you hype yourself up like Marvel Rivals or games like TF2/CS2 that are over and they're basically trying to sell you the idea that "it isn't over" so you'll buy more lootboxes/microtransactions for decades to come.

Baseball bats are the "be gay do crimes" weapon. Just that makes me think in lame antifas posers rather than just copying earthbound
