JUST FUCK MY INDUSTRY UP

At this point, I don't can't even care anymore. I just want to hop off and watch the glorious train-wreck from afar.

Your post is missing a few steps of the descent. Something like this with lootboxes added as now is more accurate.

Videogames themselves are the problem, not the industry. The industry and it's practices are just a symptom of the bigger problem; videogame monomania. You're getting fucked because your relationship with developers isn't client/consumer, it's more like addict/dealer. But there are worse problems:
>Sedentary lifestyle that wrecks your physique.
>Solitary lifestyle that heavily gates your social activities and delegates them to chats.
>Perpetual escapist entertainment that kills drive and creativity.
>Unbelievably time-consuming, leading to people spending hundreds of hours on a single game in less then a month, and thousands of lifetime hours logged into more extensive and grindy games.
>Disconnect from grounded society so great that many have withdrawn from the mating race to focus on adopted videogame wives and girlfriend simulacra.
Take care of yourselves lads.

Just don't buy games. We don't need them

no game I play have this shit, just pay for the games that are worth it and give nothing to the shit corporations

Don't worry OP, just play Japanese games. What could possibly go wrong?

It doesn't even matter. All the games you enjoy and support now will die off or convert completely in a matter of years. I do support games that I think deserve it, but it honestly just feels useless.

I dont come to Sup Forums to reflect on my own life you faggot.

In my case vidya has always been an effect rather than a cause

I don't like people or being around them. People like me have always existed, there was a guy who spent 60 years alone on an African island raising fucking turtles

Who else really wants to see companies get fukt by having loot boxes be considered gambling?

Me. Exploiting people with gambling problems is an extremely scummy business practice, far worse than most other shit video game companies have done in the past.

>>Unbelievably time-consuming, leading to people spending hundreds of hours on a single game in less then a month, and thousands of lifetime hours logged into more extensive and grindy games.
lol yep, when you realize that all the time put into vidya could become a legit skill then it puts everything into perspective

I absolutely despise games that like to drag themselves out with filler. I like my more quick and challenging arcade style games now. I can play for 20 mins then go about my day.

SHUT THE FUCK UP MOM! BRING ME CHICKEN TENDIES!! REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!

The only way to stop loot boxes it to introduce laws that ban virtual gambling with a precise definition of gambling so no jewish lawyer can find any loophole.

worst part nothing you can do to stop this shit

>all these edits
>and the old edits where they put online play locked in little cages never caught on
Typical.

>little fartbabies upset about more choices in the market
lmao

>mfw i play vidya all the time but have none of these problems

well, aside from the creative drive thing. i should really be writing, but i think this place is more of a drain on my will to do so than gaming

>wants to see companies get fukt
Yep, I don't give a shit about the "think of the children/retards with no self control" angle. I just want to see the scumbag publishers take a hit.

Used to be that developers put addicting mechanics in a game to make people want to play them more instead of trying to squeeze as much money as possible out of the player. Sad.

Those are some pretty good turts. He should be proud.

I don' t get 2005. What expansion packs are just part of the same game?

Like Halo 2's I guess. The single multiplayer expansion with a bunch new maps.

he means it's just more of the same

Excessive microtransaction bullshit will be the cause of the Second Video Game Crash.

but seriously, can the jewing get much worse than this? I've been doing nothing but pirating for the past 2 years and I can see its completely justified

>2 years
I have been doing since nintendo went to shit, which is since the wii

>but seriously, can the jewing get much worse than this?

I hope not. I want to see just how greedy and cynical humans can be.
