Are we all just being trolled?

No, seriously, are we all just being trolled?

The gigantic spark in controversy in gaming these past six months, from Mafia III to Call of Duty WW2... all of it seems crazy as shit, like ironic maymays coming to life.

What if it's all just a ploy? A methodological campaign taken by these companies to stir up controversy because controversy sells? To set people against each other via the divide and conquer theory of marketing and commercialization?

Are we all just being fucked with by the gaming industry and its usually paid-partner journalists?

stop taking Sup Forums so seriously

They throw hundreds of millions into this industry. No they're not fucking around.

And how much do they get out of it from all the controversy?

Fuck, if KFC's CEO can say bad publicity is good because it gets people talking, maybe there's a point behind it.

We live in a simulation. Ever since sometime last year, the people running the simulation have decided to mess with us in every area of life to see how we react to everything going absolutely off the rails. Not even games are safe from our gods dry humping the disaster spawning buttons.

Why does everyone keep saying this? you're overreacting, society is still standing

It is, but everything has gone haywire. Just because society is still standing doesn't make this the most bizarre year.

>KFC gets rid of Doublicious and acts like it's a cause for celebration

We are meaningless slaves to cruel and fickle masters, my friends. It's like the Mouth of Madness; we're desitned to bend to their will because it's our role in the book, in the simulation, in their world. Even our most precious videos only exist because They allow it.

You're overthinking it a little but you're on the right track, it's not that controversy itself sells, but that they figured out they can get their products advertised for free by making polarised internet bloggers happy or mad enough to write about them.

no shit it fucking is dude
advertisers are known to do this
they publicly offer it as a service.

No you don't understand. It is the fault of the Demiurge, who take pleasure in watching us skirm and flail around, confused.

But do not worry my friend. I have built a rocket that will take me to the stars, where the false creator reside. And I'll bring a nuke with me, to finally bring this world to an end so that we can take our rightfull place among the Heavens.

Stay safe and praised be Jehova. Death to the Demiurge.

if only these fools could see socialism as the only way forward

>Implying you can fight human nature
You cant prevent the robots because Humans sharing and big government not going corrupt is impossible. Universal income wil make all of us dull and numb because of lack of purpous.

the free market will fix that

yes

they also love the diversity meme because they can handwave any criticism about the game itself as "entitled white gamer bros"

while they force draconian DRM, games get shorter, more DLC that costs more, multiplayer modes where you pay to get better weapons, etc. everyone is too busy fighting over the badly written tranny character that gets shoved in for no reason other than virtue signaling

Yeah because nothing screams sales like being made fun of on a korean gookcartoon forum.

Really helped out guys like Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton to be mercilessly mocked on Sup Forums

they're thinking with AI logic and short term profits
"new" naturally attracts people, they don't give a fuck about niggers and muh 6 million, they just use these features because they weren't in use before
once it gets old, another one will take its place

I wish I could still be so hopefull but socialism seems to allways fail and capatalism seems like the best way to run a country. Universal Basic Income doesnt sound like a solution. Soon the rich will either kill us, birth controll us or give us the universal basic income wich will leave us as their play things because they have all the power and the common people wont be used to ever doing anything.

I'd love it but no, people really do care this much about political correctness, even when it's in a setting where this mindset wasn't a thing.

Its not for Sup Forums, its so people can point to it and say "Hey, the bad guy's hate us, so clearly we must be the good guys!" When Sup Forums was talked about by lefty media during the election, it was always accompanied by demonization of Sup Forums. The same thing can be done with Far Cry 5, tell everyone how progressive your game is by comparing it to those evil white nationalist 4channers who hate it, while gaining awareness of the game and brand recognition. Sup Forums isn't a market, its a tool to get to the people who are the opposite of that market.

Whatever they're doing, it's not working for me. I don't care about any of that stuff because one day I'm gonna be dead and I need to spend my time doing things I enjoy, such as lurking Sup Forums, playing video games and not caring about everything you listen in your post.

Yeah but Sup Forums's opposition to this shit isn't even overtly malicious. It's more along the lines of "Look at what these losers have done now you wont believe it lmao"

They're not the bad guys they're just an embarrassment.

Yeah, that's my point, its shown as a cesspool of villainy to make whatever its opposing it look better, usually the person showing the site that way, when really Sup Forums is only a cesspool.

If it is they are dumb as shit because they are destroying their profits

SO3 was right all along. Hopefully, there will be no angels or demons trying to murder us all.

society is just sick and it needs to be cured

But normies actually enjoy Sup Forums memes/jokes when they see them with context and exposing them to Sup Forums memes like WE WUZ usually has the opposite effect the progressives want.

There's a reason they keep their hysterical reporting away from the mainstream news sites and keep them in their clickbait echo chambers

...

Memes and jokes? Sure, and some of the media is retarded and thinks making Pepe a hate symbol is going to get the effect they want, but things like that Far Cry 5 petition was clearly made for the purpose of getting people who think Sup Forums is a hole of villainy to have sympathy for Ubisoft. People saying Far Cry 5 is a racist, anti-american game doesn't get anyone laughing or interested in Sup Forums. It was a decently effective tactic. People in the comments of that petition even said they were now interested in buying Far Cry 5.

>step off Sup Forums for a week
>suddenly no controversies to be found

No. You're myopic. It is only really a controversy on Sup Forums and not selling copies here.

This. Staying off Sup Forums or any other high traffic forum or message board literally makes it seem like nothing is going wrong in the internet and when you get back you spot just how outrageously high people take the level of their own bullshit just to make a "point".

No one normal uses twitter, those people in yor image are all people who live on the internet not normies

>black women
>black male


No Mexican people, no Asian people, who actually fought more. No arabs. Its not that they wanted for you to feel included, which even then, is dumb. Its for Blackification.

What did call of duty mean by this?

There is a plurality of people here who are actually really upset about Far Cry 5 though. I'm not sure if that petition is actually a false flag.
