What would the videogame industry look like under a Communist State?

I think it would be better. Fuck Capitalism, amirite?

Probably not much different.

Capitalism = Bullshit to take advantage of the free market
Commie = Bullshit to get units out as quick as possible

The integrity lies with the developers actually wanting to put soul into a game.

>every video game is the exact same
It already is like that

Communism doesn't put a high priority on frivolous entertainment.
Under communism, we wouldn't even have computers to display graphics with.

>What would the videogame industry look like under a Communist State?

Why dont you google "arcades in communist russia"? these niggers got to see 8-bit machines in the 90's and got their minds blown the fuck away.

I suppose we're talking about actual communism and not the theoretical crap.
Communism would produce games glorifying the working class, either by plot or gameplay (see papers please, it would work as social realism, which is a commie art movement).
Video games would probably have to meet standards defined by the party and would all be free with no microtransactions.
Gaming would either be all on consoles (state produced) or all on PC. Graphic fidelity would probably improve much slower.
Modding would not be allowed,but many people will do it regardless. Esports will be a thing in chosen games that will have indefinite updates for decades.
Mobile games and comiebook games may be banned due to interfering with productivity.

>indefinite updates for decades.
I meant they would be updated and improved on for decades.

There'd be no incentive to make games because it's not like you'll be reasonably compensated for your work.

FACT:
Tetris, one of the greatest games of all time, developed under Communism.
FACT:
Every MMO and P2W ever released made by capitalists.

No, you're not right.

Then he moved to a superior capitalist country, so he could actually get payed for his creation and have the space to make more games.

Then where's my tetris 2 huh? Yeah that's what a i thought american capitalist piggu

>he hasn't played tetrishphere
Capitalism wins every time.

>rehash
Enjoy your EA/Activision monolpolies with the same game over and over, meanwhile we could have had a REAL tetris 2.

Nah tetrisphere was pretty good, I also really enjoyed the game modes on the N64 version of tetris

Monopolies are corporatism or chronyism, not capitalism

Well if the State choose to finance game makers, it could be not very different but it's not very likely a communist state would do it.

Purely free markets capitialism leads to corporatism though, since free markets don't self-regulate.

Ever seen Chinese video games?

China is an anomaly. They're not quite communist, nor capitalist.

Mixed economy.

I don't know the commies used crazy amount of money on a movie about the battle of waterloo.

Getting any funding i going to be tricky if you aren't politically correct if by communist you are talking of the soviet union.

it was made as a side project

anarcho-capitalism is stupid.

And western europe is social democrat with a regulated free market, there is just more things between free market capitalism and communism than what americans think.

b-but what if the child consents tho?...

Then you aren't purely capitalist, nothing inherently wrong with it.

I wonder more what they'd be like under a system with Basic Income. With no need to waste all your time putting food on the table, talented individuals could band together and put their time into making great stuff without the interference of executives who only care about shekels. None of this half-assed Kickstarter stuff, they'd just be able to truly devote themselves to their creations.

it would still lower iq in a mentally/physically unprepared child and therefore violate the NAP

small government capitalism is the best possible system.

When will Star Trek come true

Not impossible, but you need a kinda magically succesful economy to afford it, like the optimistic scenarios about automatization.
There is nothing inherently wrong with basic income if it is economically possible but it's not the casd for the moment.

brb killing myself

How do you prevent monopolies or the sheer power of the richest to impose what they want to the population ?

I'm going to go by Soviet propaganda and industry, and form a theory based on that.

Soviet video games would be very basic, rudimentary forms of entertainment that can be had for cheap. They will only be available on state-produced, state-sanctioned entertainment systems, and if they're varied hardware-wise, they'd be dumbed down for the lowest common denominator. Their themes will focus on a highly idealized version of their nation and culture withstanding and defeating the invasion of a poorly understood (or perhaps deliberately) foreign nature, and they are given very thin disguises. They beat the invaders thanks to the power of friendship and unity, and their glory remains unscathed.

Or basically, Japanese games.
