Guys, guys! Reddit found a solution to the greedy publisher problem!!

Guys, guys! Reddit found a solution to the greedy publisher problem!!

Unironically agree

Has any government ever produced any form of quality government produced entertainment of any kind?

Whatever it takes to fuck them over.
Not for being jews, but for not being able to produce decent games anymore.

World War I and its glorious sequel, World War II: Omaha Beach

Is this satire?

the only good game that was made by commies was Tetris

Are these people retarded? These companies are already public. Organize to buy a controlling share if you want to run them.

I hope the majority of those comments are calling him a retard or pointing out all the flaws in that idea.

Just regulate it like they regulate Vegas. That's all.

first the game industry , next the governments and banks , we shall dismantle the system for good this time

Governments give grants to all kinds of culture creators, including game devs.

Have they done anything themselves? Why should they, that's not what governments are for.

Unless you count propaganda like those shows in North Korea.

This is what you get with your freedom capatalism. its your own fault Sup Forums should have gone under communist rulesets and banned consumerism as a whole

Eww no. See this is what happens when you flirt with r*ddit faggots and their gay beliefs.

The solution really really really is don't fucking buy it. No that's not a defense of the practice, the point is that if a company makes it a practice to entice retards as their main market, we thankfully have the liberty to not endorse them, even if they can probably successfully finance themselves without us. There are already more than enough good games out there to be enjoyed and there are even still new games being made to this day without this cancer. Don't buy it. You reap what you sow.

This. Also, tax microtransactions as well. If you can't stop it outright, make it fucking expensive for players so they won't want to do it.

>I cant stop buying AAA gamezzzzz!!!
>I FUCKING CANT STOP PLAYING AAA GAYMEZZZZ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

>buy a controlling share

Heh that's just what they want you to believe, they would never allow you to get that

And it never found any success until a company was started for it in America.

That's not what OP's pic is saying.

>Nationalise the video game industry
>All companies merged into one video game company under government control
>They release one video game a year
>It has no violence, swearing or offense content at all
>Is diverse as possible, also pushing that years government policies

>Video game equivelant of those community newspapers that are given out for free at libraries, city colleges that no one currently reads

Sounds great

God damn you're retarded.

I wasn't responding to OP

So, do normies just not realize that EA, Ubisoft, Activision, and Blizard aren’t the only game companies?

It's called a hostile takeover. All they can do to stop it is plead with the shareholders not to sell.

Do you have a couple of billions so we can take over EA?

I never played it but I remember America's Army being pretty popular back in the day.

is this Communism or something?

That is the dumbest shit I've read in a long time, and I'm surprised that some dipshit user on Sup Forums didn't come up with it.

so Sup Forums is literally browsing reddit now huh

FUCKING COMMIES GET OUT OF MY BOARD
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

is reddit the enemy or is that neogaf

God is dead and nihilism has paved the way for totalitarianism.

Polish government owns a part of CD Project red. So yeah.

JUST STOP PLAYING SHIT AAA GAMES, THERE'S A HUGE MARKET WITH OPTIONS. THAT IS THE FREE MARKET IT WORKS. STOP BUYING THEIR SHIT YOU STUPID, STUPID, STUPID CUNTS.

Didn't the US Army make that America's Army game as a recruitment tool? That thing was pretty decent.

yes

We've had an influx of libshits from reddit and NeoFAG recently and they've been shitting up the board.

Yes

Its not though.
All you have to do is create and legitimize a culture of shaming fellow consumers for supporting these companies.
That's literally all it takes. Just create a couple of Le Dank Maymays that shame people for purchasing these products and then shove the meme down their throats.

>one stupid underage redditor makes a stupid comment
>"LOOK GUISE, THIS IS THE NOTION OF THE ZEITGEIST!"
You guys can't be this easy to bait, are you? I'm sacrificing my (You) here so you don't have to.

Yeah, cause the thing I want to do with my hobby is not engage in it. I'm done fighting these battles, I'm unironically too old for that shit. If a game looks good, I buy it. I stopped paying attention to who publishes what a couple years ago.

If you don't like the games industry as it is then you're free to make your own game that you do like. That's how this shit works. Nobody owes you a game that meets your standards, and nobody forces you to buy or play games you don't like.

The BBC is producing some high quality entertainment. Not vidya but that wasn't your question.

>BAAAWWWWW PEOPLE ARE GOING TO SPEND THEIR OWN MONEY HOW THEY WANT! I WANT TO STOP IT!

Gas all leftists

Government can often produce higher quality than companies can. The problem is that it can be very artsy so the mainstream may not like it very much. The companies are forced to pander to the mainstream, so their works will be less deep, but more popular.

>reddit invents the perfect way
>Sup Forums doesnt
HAHHAHAHhaha, 4keks BTFO

Yes Minister
Monty Python
The Office
Top Gear

All BBC programs

wtf im a marxist now

a part from nature documentaries the bbc is sjw trash

You leftists have ruined your shaming weapon with the recent election. No one gives a fuck about what you think or want anymore now.

You know cases like that are very few and far between, right? Any sweeping healthcare change is going to have negative effects for some people, but Obamacare's impact has been largely positive. But you won't care about that since you're on Sup Forums trying to Sup Forums-post.

If that actually worked there wouldn't be five Transformers films that had all been enormous financial successes.

Basically this. If a game does bad things I don't like, I probably wouldn't buy it anyways. A good game that does things I like? Probably buy it. Am I making a favorable difference? Probably not. Are there more and more "bad games doing things I don't like?" absolutely
Not gonna get bent out of shape over one of my hobbies in a pickle that I can't get it out of

Doesn't sound any worse than the current video game industry tbqh

When whales exist this isn't going to solve anything

Are you one of those aforementioned stupid cunts who thinks that not playing AAA products is not "engaging" in the hobby? Like as if you can't you find a wealth of nonbullshit games both new and old with just the slightest bit of effort?

How are people unironically answering to this pile of words?

>Government can often produce higher quality than companies can


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

>think thats satire
>its actually not

reminder to everyone that find people like that to send them back to venezuela.

Or just buy those games that meet that standard that are already out there. EA is not the whole games industry.

If there's a game I want to play and I don't play it, then yes, that's not engaging with my hobby. I don't understand how that could be unclear to you.

>Too old
And yet your mindset is that of a child. That's how a child thinks.

> You leftists
Shut up retard. You don't have the slightest clue what a shaming tactic is or how it works.
A bunch of snooty critics and up their own ass rich queers does not an effective shaming tactic make. It needs to be superfluous throughout the ranks of the normies. The poor, the tasteless, the retarded. These are where the meme must be seated.

Yeah, our current president is a hilarious clown

>Trump and le government le ebil
>Lets increase the size, scope and power of the government exponentially XD

>largely positive

>Premiums rose despite promises they wouldn't

>The main demographic targeted for registration still isn't registering because the tax penalty is cheaper than being forced to buy and pay monthly for insurance so now you have higher premiums and more people sucking down services than people paying in

>Many insurance companies stopped taking medicaid all together

Yep, sure was positive.

Why don't we just firebomb these companies so they can't make shit games anymore?

Not disagreeing with you, but look at PBS, then look at your favorite company-produced thing. Government-made entertainment is obviously very different from the things people are used to and like.

Yeah, I have been for around 7 years now

No one ever said leftists were intelligent

>Danny Glover has the mind of a child
You speak on things you know nothing of, son.

>"Regulating gaming companies? Fucking lefty commies, leave publishers along, capitalism works!"
>"W-what do you mean you're gonna react to supply and demand by not buying any of their games anymore? Stop being fucking machildren!"

That's fine, but if you have any qualms about how they setup their product and then send them money you can't really complain when you just sent a vote of approval for it.

Because that would attract the muslims and I hate them so I try to provide a narrative around here that we don't do that

>Predatory

WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU REQUIRED AT ANY POINT TO BUY THE GAME OR THE LOOTBOXES?! Jesus you stupid fucks games are a hobby, not a right

Not even normies admitted to liking Transformers films because of the public shame in doing so. They all claimed they only watched them just to see how bad they were.

Exactly. EA may make bank off of retards, but anybody can simply choose to spend their money elsewhere and promote games they like.

>implying those two statements are coming from the same man

Literally any given battlefront thread right now.

You retards already stopped buying games remember? And you communist fucks want to regulate what people are allowed to buy, fuck off and go to North Korea

And the Czech Republic regularly injects funds into the ARMA/VBS developers.

The state of georgia has an entire department devoted to subsidizing the costs of making video games, most of us have seen that familiar splash screen.

You're just quoting two different parties, what sort of retardation is this? Fuck regulations and stop buying their games.

>BBC before the last five years
>PBS
>Most news shows prior to Reagan
>Many many movies out of the USSR that are now free domain thanks to their collapse
>America's Army was produced by the US Army, and it was pretty great, along with a few of it's sequels
>Some old videos of Obama and Biden were pretty funny, old dad kinda humor.

user, i know you are probably 13-15 years old and think you can easily buy 51% stocks of a company to control them, hell even 10% but no... its not that fucking easy. they will tell their shareholder to hold onto the stock and they will deny you easily. also no one here has enough money to buy a controlling stock in EA, especially not here on Sup Forums

>Work park time
>Have Obamacare
>Pay nothing for insurance
>No copays
>Have to pay a little for drugs sometimes.

Yes. Capitalism is great

>shoehorn leftist identity politics in to video game
>get mad when the people you vilify choose not to buy your game

Here's the sad truth: our opinion on video games became the minority. It's not relevant if minority in population count or in income, but point is, shit games brings in more money. And since it's a free market and there's a demand for shit games, there's nothing we can do about it (and this is the way it should be too, just because we consider something as shit and predatory, even if we're right, doesn't mean we can force our personal opinion on companies and other people who represent more of thrones market share).

What that said, we are currently facing two options:
1. Try to change the public opinion on Vidya against everything we don't like, so the retarded faggots paying for loot boxes and dlcs would fucking stop.
2. Create our own market, based on smaller companies and indie devs. Just because we're a smaller market doesn't mean we can't be profitable for non AAA studios.

Now how can we make these things happen:
1. Scream against loot boxes and dlc and shame people who support it until they feel bad enough and stop.
2. Support small studios that make quality games by buying their stuff and promoting them when possible.

Will it work? Maybe, in couple of years. Right now we're just fucked.
