What the fuck Sup Forums, how did this happen? How did we let the normies take over our most beloved and cherished hobby?

Was more the fault of publishers wanting more money desu.

Stupid frogposter

It didn't take a genius to figure out Pong or Space Invaders

fuck you nigger, we'll post frogs if we damn well please

it was happening a few years before moot left.

>>Micro-transactions
non issue, you dont have to buy anything
>>DLC
see above
>>Social Justice
dont support devs who do this
>>Dumbed down, tutorial ridden """"Gameplay""""
this needs to fuck off, everything was fine when i would open my old game manuals to read how to play instead of being forced into slow paced segments that tell you things you already know from every other game
>>Simplistic story or overly complex and unfun story
personal preference

Jew devs and publishers

When did CoD start selling expensive-ass map packs?

cod4

When MGS and SotC started being praised to high heaven even though they were basically just interactive movies.

>you don't have to buy anything
Yeah, but not all DLC is cosmetic bullshit.

It's the natural progression that happens to every interest/hobby, like it or not. There's a pretty good pic about it I'm sure someone will post.

Also this

You became too dependent on companies and still gave them money despite their shitty practices. Doesn't matter if you're loud in protest. Businesses respond to the wallet.

There's your answer, OP.

You can frogpost all you want, it will neither bring your games back nor make you any less dumb, frog scum.

Around the time 3D games started

>non issue, you dont have to buy anything

Yeah fair point, I suppose what I meant to say was I despise day 1 DLC shit or pre order only bonuses.

I got fucked over with the new digimon cyber sleuth because I literally couldn't get the bonus DLC

if it's actual content then it's an expansion, those have been around for a long time

An extra character in a fighting game is an expansion now?

Stop defending DLC
Kill yourself piece of shit

Expansions aren't what they used to be, and you know it.

Video games were always a normie hobby. Look at the NES library. There's fucking hundreds of shovelware movie adaptations. You think diehard gamers were putting those on their shelf next to their final fantasy games? They sold because idiot casuals saw "Jaws" and chimped out.
Nothing has changed.

When I realized the type of person makes threads on Sup Forums with frog images.

Dumb frogposter

Dead thread, reddit frog.

It wasn't casuals. It was millenials.
