>video game industry has existed for 40+ years
>hasn't produced a single game with as much lasting appeal as chess, poker or sports
The only games from 1980s which still have an active community are nethack and maybe Tetris. Are video games doomed to be nothing but a novelty that lasts a few weeks or months?
What about RTS?
I think about this some times too. There could be a brilliant and deep competitive game released now, and in 20 years it wouldn't have 1/1000th the playerbase as it did when it was new. The industry and culture is too obsessed with new things.
>comparing chess to videogames
As usual, OP is a faggot.
I would imaging that's because games can be created quickly and because games are marketed towards children with ADD. Change happens too quickly in this world for any single thing to solidify for long periods of time, especially when it comes to computing power.
ASSFAGGOTS BRO ITS SERIOUSLY SPORTS don't you even fucking say it isn't or I'll get all my cosplay friends to cyber bully you. It's definitely not dying and going to be bigger than football just you wait.
League of legends, csgo, starcraft.
All of these will be played for years and years and already beats out stupid chess because no-one wants to watch that shit. E-sports is taking over slowly and steadily. Already having millions each event. Now back to rebbit faggot.
It's like early cinema where it didn't get truly artsy until the technology became more accessible. We have a long way to go before independent game development is practical and won't produce things that become dated in fewer than five years

>telling 4chins to go back
Nice try faggot. Ass faggots is a dead game deal with it.

I give these games less than 5 years
starcraft and counterstrike
pac man, space invaders, tetris
And every variation of each.
Also games sell you game play just as those board games. And Arguably side scrollers and first person shooters are two of the most common game types there are that follow your criteria.
Also developers are in the business of making money and they make most money when they sell you "new games"

All boring as fuck, Quake better than all that shit, we don't need normalfags in our hobby.
Those two probably don't even know what chess is.
I don't care to be either of them, but honestly being a jew nosed meme riding a nigger segway seems worse of the two.
>Not knowing who soflo "I've been playing chess for years" Antonio is.
Yeah nice dead game getting millions of players each day and viewers on twitch. Faggots are just in denial because OGGA BOOGA E SPORT BOOGEYMAN
Pokemon is reasoning fairly strong for it's 20 years. Admittedly the last he's tried to change the formula slightly, and critically speaking, they were fairly mediocre. However the series still seems to have a steady popularity that keeps it relevant as new he's are released
Pacman? Super Mario Bros? Doom?
...
How long do you think humans took to come up with chess?
Name me a better feel than winning the pot in Poker, especially through bluffing.
According to wikipedia, around 1000 years.
>chess
chess is a game for low intelligence whites.
Not exactly the 2 years you get to develop a computer game then?
This.
Chess = Overwatch
Go = Quake
Video games would be compared to "physical" games, not chess specifically.
Chess exists as a video game retard.
