@coolboymew @lebronjames75 i will tell my roommate i'll pirate shit FOR HIM and he's like "nah, i've got crunchyroll on my TV."

people are lazy as hell man. kid at my work doesn't want to play ocarina of time because he doesn't want to configure an emulator. one of the greatest games of all time he's missing out on because he just doesn't want to click a few buttons in an emulator and watch like a 5 minute youtube tutorial. or hell, the pc port which is probably even easier.

@coolboymew @lebronjames75 i honestly do not think the audience of funimation/crunchyroll knows how to pirate, or if they do they are way too lazy to. they'll just accept this sadly and continue to pay for it.

@matrix i was gonna say those were in the wrong order but then i noticed the mask, fuck man :pressf:

@matrix in reality there's no girl on the right xD

@xianc78 i have very vague memories of that game

this game is totally unhinged, pretty fun xD

@coolboymew @D-Droid @thatbrickster Sony and MS lose money on console sales and have to claw it back with stuff like subscriptions and software sales. I don't think Nintendo actually loses any money on the Switch hardware, could be wrong about that though.

@MoeBritannica would d8

@nugger @MK2boogaloo @nike it works, i'm a gigachad philanthropist now, i only had to watch 200 hours of this.

@Kyonko802 @Ronnie21093 retard probably should have guessed this would happen and not shown the game to his uncle lmao

@xianc78 OK good lol

@xianc78 when are you gonna add the crypto mining

@Zerglingman people would sleep at the office and work on animations unpaid as a janitor because they wanted the game to be as good as it could be and they believed in what they were making. it helped that the suits hadn't really stepped in much at that point to dictate shit, at least not nearly as much as they do now. they'd see a good concept with a developer that could back it up and let them explore it. now the shareholders kind of suck all of that out and people who want to "make games" but don't have the drive to do it, or have the drive sucked out of them in the current state of the soulless industry, are the ones pushing us this slop.

@LukeAlmighty @Re_L luke you're literally a part of one already xD GAME liberty dot CLUB

@LukeAlmighty i'm not even really thinking about mobile games much. i barely think about them as games at all. i'm talking about how insanely popular games in general have become and how many, for lack of a better term, normies play them.

or, if a game is actually good, the company is shit. i know i really shouldn't but my dumb ass is still going to buy the new princess peach game coming out because it genuinely looks like a lot of fun, even though nintendo is a shitty company. capcom, sega, and bamco are participating in identity politics bullshit that harms the games and means they will age extremely poorly and only be trendy with an audience that shouldn't be their target demographic for a short period of time. do you really think any real persona fan is going to think of the p3 remake when they go to replay the game?

like, even if these games end up being good overall, the people producing them and sometimes even the people developing them seem like they give no shits about the legacy of the games and have no interest in making something objectively good. they are trend chasers at best and malicious at worst.

i'm always like 5 seconds away from never playing another new video game ever again. they're just getting more and more shitty. it's not even nostalgia talking because i can go back and play old games i've never played before and find them way more fun than the new slop that comes out. even if it is extremely refined slop, there's still something missing. even something like baldur's gate 3 which was by all accounts an amazing game did absolutely nothing to hook me beyond the 4 hours i played.

half life, FEAR, and portal are games i have played within the last couple of years i hadn't before. they are absolute gems that are still better than the vast majority of shit that's come out in the past decade.

@LukeAlmighty >games are no longer made for people like you

ain't that the damn truth. that's why most of the time i find something i really like it's either in a mod, an indie game with a very specific target audience, or a game that nobody else seems to like.

well, modern day developers even say this out loud. they do not make games for people like me anymore because it isn't profitable. it is far more profitable to give slop to general audiences who will eat it up like livestock.

@LukeAlmighty this sounds weird but i kind of don't give a fuck about the gaming economy if it means we're going to keep getting shittier and shittier games to please the masses. the fact that $10, $15, $20 games can come out and still be wildly successful with not nearly as large of a team, budget, or development time frame means that the "gaming economy" is completely broken and the AAA devs are out of their minds.

@matrix my parents kept me away from women like this lmao
