Ff7 remake/rebirth is the perfect example of something that was great ruined by rdditors and not offending anyone. Hope this crash is worse then the 80s one so these fags get it thru there heads no one wants

This one seems to be that AAA studios keeps pumping out this DEI-infused slop on the advice of grifters like sweet baby inc and others, their stocks crash,company gets bought up by another set of investers that aren't DEI-pushing retards, bluehairs get the boot,ship slowly gets righted. That seems to be the current trend.

those faggots in suits actually thought letting their bluehairs piss all over the customers was a viable business tactic. I don't mean they let bluehairs try something new, fails, and back to the drawing board. I mean actively call the customer base nasty names and telling them to fuck off because their slop "isn't for you", then throw a tempertantrum and issult the customers again when it inevitably fails because the customers they insulted didn't buy their slop.

the concept of micro transactions and not actually being able to own the games you play has been completely foreign to me. The first time I saw games played out as "seasons" and the concept of limited time offerings, I literally couldn't comprehend it.

Same here. It blows my mind such nonsense exists and ever managed to grow legs under it. My mind doesn't properly handle anything more complex than "pay $xx, own full game now" and "new DLC released that actually looks good, so pay $xx, own full DLC." This notion that even after paying all that money for a product still results in an incomplete product without further purchases and with near-assured rug-pulls is just fucking insane.

I'm waiting for the inevitable next step in this (d)evolution of gaming -- fucking pay-per-play (like the PPV of yore) or even just short-term "rentals" of digital downloads ("pay $4.99 and you can play Battle Duty 5 Infinity Minus 1 2026 Edition as much as you like for 48 hours!" ... then the cunt auto-deletes its 100GB self from whatever console you just got Jewed with).

i think this game might have been fun if it was like 50V50, big team battle.
no hero abilities, you spend the rocks you mine on walls to build minecraft bases to respawn from to assault the main base,
we really need less 3-5 player team games, i remember having way more fun playing counterstrike when it was 10v10, its much less pressure to perform well. you are 20% of your team so if you die its a huge loss for your team and chances of stomped,

I think it exists and they call it "Planetside" or something
Isn't there an EVE Online shooter spinoff that's kind of like this?

Currently outperforming arc raiders which is impressive for a single player game.

Well, you can't really measure performance of GaaS and singleplayer games in the same way. Arc Raiders does have mtx and is thus a service game, I assume?
Basically, for singleplayer games only amount of sold copies really matters. Concurrent players over time - not so much. These games make all their money with the initial sale. Playercount helps to measure popularity, but outside of that it doesn't really matter.
Service games come with upkeep cost that cuts into profit, and maintaining healthy playerbase in order to make more money than you spend is really important. More so for F2P, so Arc Raiders is a bit of a mixed bag here.

It was because of all the straight white males on the dev team. The patriarchy ruins everything :/

If the nazi trolls hadn't hatecrimed this game into oblivion, I'm sure the devs would have come up with something fun and inclusive like a queer black transmasc in a wheelchair who fires lawsuits at opponents, draining them of energy and in game currency.

The people in management considered the task of actually creating the game beneath them, akin to the Hilton execs weighing in on how the maids should best scrub the toilets, so they gave the work to whoever would do it the cheapest and cause the least headaches. Veilguard management considered their normal players to be "nerds in a cave" who would show up no matter what.

So they let the faggots in the writing team do whatever they wanted. And those faggots despised traditional customers even more than management. They're all to a they/them creative writing school failures who achieved nothing of note on their own projects, so they tried to turn the games they were assigned into something they wanted to write about, but also stuck it to people they considered to be chuds. It turns out, this is a really shitty idea and has caused countless failures.
 
Just sitting back and watching this horrible fucking industry go up in flames.

Here's to 10 more concords this year.

Well, this is going to degrade his shilling capabilities somewhat, but I seriously doubt people that paid for it have anything against him. He did what he was supposed to, and quite effectively at that.

I genuinely have no idea how developers can insult potential customers like that. This is why companies have policies regarding social media, because they can make the company look bad. In any other line of work, these people would be viewed as liabilities and such behavior could even be grounds for a lawsuit.
 
The best part is how everyone pegged this game as "dead in less than a month" when they saw the trailer. It was just a strong feeling everyone independently had:story:
