   I love the Ghost Games argument as to why video games must die, really gets the noggin joggin, really gets the almonds activated.

     Lol, I guess an ex-valve writer is crying about the SKG initiative as well and brings up the gamergate boogie man

     @supersid333 @TopBep every new release basically deciding a companies fate due to inflated budgets also discourages actual innovation and experimentation outside of scams to bleed the customer of their money

     @TopBep Funny to think how much of their own wounds are self inflicted considering they decided to do things like snuff out their own budget AA market because they weren't as inherently profitable as big AAA blockbusters.

     @TopBep I don't wanna give him a view, so could I get a summary on his retarded take?

     @Ronnie21093 Basically boils down to
     
     >If SKG (granted this video is BEFORE SKG started) is about preservation, most games can be preserved today!
     
     >Ross Scott feels like he shouldn't be heading up the battle but no one else will step up? Well what if there's this dude standing at a gas station and he's on fire and burning on top of the gas pumps, and Ross is saying he's the only one who'll help, but the reason why no one is helping is because everyone else understands that the gas pumps will explode!
     
     >If the choice is "make the game better" or "make the game preserved" you should choose to make it better
     
     >An important question "When do you preserve this!?"
     
     >Don't use the government! Go protest Ubisoft!
     
     there's probably more but man this guy is just a ball of retardation.

     This is the guy in the cooking stations who sends out either purposefully shit food out or up in his ass and thinks what garbage he sends to the coordinator for plating is 10/10 or edible and everyone there was to dunk his head into the fucking frying grease or 400° flattop directly and hold his face on it

     @supersid333 @TopBep much like a girl or woman
     They purposely do it for sympathy points or whatever other fucking garbage they want while putting no effort in while they get a 200$ bonus to their paychecks and pushing their corporate approved opinions on us as the norm

     @TopBep While hardly an innovative view on why games are killed, it's always the truest one. Companies want more control over their profits, and people are hardly willing to pay full price for an older game without a definitive reason to do so.
     >You can't get good new games without killing old ones routinely
     This final statement is utter bullshit though. I can still play pretty much every Mario game out there without need for a server, and Mario Wonder was still a really fun experience I thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Thinking good games can't exist because the company isn't subsidized by newer live service game purchases is outright insane, it's proof of immensely flawed logic obtained from company subversion and marketing teams. Of course the older games will sell better, they're cheaper due to their age and have already had massive amounts of coverage to expose all the good and bad in the game.

     Here's a game this guy worked on most recently, doesn't seem to be doing too well :INTJ_Stare:
     
     
     It's all time peak was influenced heavily (literally 99.98%) by a free weekend in January 2023 that fell off immediately.

     @TopBep all this does is confirm that there are bad actors in the industry trying to cover their own asses and control the discourse, and that Maldavius “My dad worked at Blizzard btw” Figtree took some money from those people
