i wouldnt know because i would never waste 10:01 of my life watching crap like that, let alone giving him a view while i do it

the libertarian, individualist societies that white people build always invite their own destruction.
thats why the only good games come from slavs these days, slavs are slightly different than the northwestern european pure cuck.

Nigga you think I'm gonna watch this entire shit?

>literally looking like a clown
Why

>literally wrote soyoby in the description

Can I get a tl;dr version of the video?

I can't even hear the point the video is trying to make over the constant masturbation the maker has over their own ego and self importance.

>[Patron-backed]
>no effort in the video
>just some sperg ranting against a solid 95% solid backround
Trash.

Gamergate levels of cringe.

He didn't focus on the true problem of gaming industry, that is not SJW (SJW are retard, indeed, but not enough to ruin the industry) but the blatant cashgrab and greediness.

so whatever happened to metokur vs sargon

>Guys, talk about this other guy's opinion
Can't we talk about yours?

What's with the ugly fucker?

The devs aren't cow-toeing to them, bro. They are the ideologues. Just shit post about the games but don't play them. It's fun.

Who made this video? A 4channer?

>unironically listening to Sup Forums

kek

Why would you post something like this video on Neogaf 2.0?

>alt right buzzword impotent rage of a guy who made no games on his own telling game devs how to make and sell games

Thanks OP, I'm gonna submit this to /r/kotakuinaction for that sweet karma. :)

metokur faded into semi-obscurity

Yes. See: soyboy salesmen in the description

>you've never eaten shit so you cant judge and say shit tastes bad!

No, but op is a faggot.

Ofcourse. Just look at Bioware

>If I don't like something, that means no one else can either make that thing, buy that thing, or enjoy that thing

And you GGfags pretend to be for artistic freedom for creators and the free market deciding what games are successful. Lol keep crying about how the game industry should be run, aka. only cater to your tastes, and if it doesn't, it's literally white male genocide.

>SJWs
>a bigger problem than corporate greed and microtransactions

so how did the 80s and 90s kids ignore the conservative values of western world and thought it would be cool to dye their hair pink,purple,shave half ot the head and drink soy?what was the main catalyst to create such a radical culture like hipsters,nu-males and sjws?

>Pumping out shitty games non-stop
Both are shit and sadly most people don't care about either of these. Battlefront 2 sold like 6 or 7 million, I believe. Same shit with other games. A game gets cancelled that everyone was waiting for? Who cares, everyone just moves on. Game is censored and the script is butchered? No one cares as well, most of them will just buy it and tell others to suck it up and that there's nothing wrong with censorship and changing things since it's a localization. Don't buy a game because you don't want to support devs' political agendas? Congratulations, now you're a nazi according to most faggots.

Gamers really are over. Time to pack it up boys, it's too tiresome.

I remember how everyone used to say ignore SJWs and they'll go away. Even if you did ignore them, a lot of people didn't and they just gained even more ground in the industry. Or how others used to say "vote with your wallet" which means jack shit since normalfags will still eat it up and buy millions of copies of some shit game.

>company dies off
>call them SJW panderers and think that's why they died
>ignore companies who don't die off or pretend they didn't break the barrier of SJW pandering

but literally everyone loved sucking Iron Bull's cock in DA:I

>panders to SJWs
>pander
>SJWs

Here's the thing with you alt right fags. When a game has content that appeals to you alt right fags, you call it "catering." When it has content that doesn't appeal to you, and it especially appeals to group of people you hate, it's "pandering."

And let's not forget how the term SJW has lost all meaning. In the beginning, it was meant to criticize assholes who had a warped idea of social justice or used it to cover up for being an asshole. SJW wasn't created to criticize the idea of social justice, but the retards who did stupid shit in name of social justice. Now you guys literally made it meaningless like cuck.

Finally, the premise of your post isn't true. There are "SJW" games being made all the time (SJW in quotes because they are not inherently SJW, but relative to your politics, they are). And I assume they're being made because they have an audience and sell well enough to keep being made.

But even if your premise was true, why do you care? Go find the games and game developers that cater to your tastes.

just a reminder that the guy on OP pic is working for the CIA NIGGERS. This is your Computer Scientist and cryptoanalist for today, user.

>"vote with your wallet" which means jack shit since normalfags will still eat it up and buy millions of copies of some shit game
>HOW DARE OTHERS DO THINGS THAT THEY HAVE COMPLETE FREEDOM TO DO SO

And alt right fags try to tell others they're not fascistic.

Gaming, like all industries, goes in cycles.
He can't see past the fact that just because we're at the low point of a cycle, doesn't mean that we won't advance back to the peak once more.

What will happen is all these insane morons will kill their industries, like they already have, the independent and intelligent will return to their rightful throne as the gatekeepers of the industry on the leftovers of the previous gatekeepers.

Comic Books are almost on this cusp, too.

nihilism won't make it go away.

>Go find the games and game developers that cater to your tastes.

Say no more

If anything it's gonna be loot boxes and mobile games that kill video games as we know them

It wouldn't be made or sold if people didn't buy it

Seriously, this.
If you don't want to suck the cock of a strong, female game designer with male pattern baldness. YOU ARE WORSE THAN GAMERGATE!

You're acting as if the two are disconnected from one another.
SJWs create the greed culture by buying up every shitty tactic the industry puts out as long as they toe their political line.

WHY!

does

he

TALK!!

like

THIS!??

But his points falls flat on their face when he too wants to change games to make them appeal to his sexual tastes.
If he has no interest in games unless characters in the games can be used as porn by him, he's not interest in it - he is as bad as SJW.

Sargon got his shit slapped and metokur is now doing a weekly stream on someone else's channel. Also he got someone added to the Southern Poverty Law Center's nazi list by making some puns off their name and spreading memes around twitter without any input on their part.

>HOW DARE SOMEONE CALL OUT THE SINGLE MINDED MASSES WHO ONLY LISTEN TO WHAT IS SPAMMED ON THEIR SOCIAL NETWORK OR SHILLED TO DEATH ON TV

And leftist faggots try to tell others they're not fascistic.

Probs because he changed his name a couple times.

Where did it all go so wrong, anons? No one batted an eye when stuff like pic related happened in vidya.

Reddit spacing talk

Reality check: Battlefront 2 sold WAY below projections. They projected 10 million by this month, and only sold about 70% of that.

They don't see it as pandering, they see it as trying to do the right thing.

If only they made a good game in the first place. I don’t buy weebshit because it has ecchi and I’m not gonna but a shit game because there’s no forced minorities.

>single minded masses
slow down your fedora posting m8
>spammed on their social network or shilled to death on TV
No one's forcing you to look at Facebook or Twitter or TV.

How is anything I said fascistic? I'm not the one trying to control others' lives, especially in regards to which entertainment product they should buy.

This

>EA sold about 9 million copies of Battlefront 2 during the three-month period from October-December 2017, the third quarter of EA’s 2018 fiscal year, according to the Wall Street Journal. (The game launched almost exactly halfway through the quarter, on Nov. 17, 2017.) That was about 1 million fewer than the 10 million copies that EA had expected to sell, the newspaper reports.
The fact that 9 million people still bought it with all the controversy shows that a lot of people just don't give a fuck.

self-inflated dbags like this are the worst. Nigga, just play the games you like and don't play the ones that look lame to you. Like, what the fuck are you complaining about.
There's such an immense backlog of games and systems out there, how could you possibly think ranting for 40 minutes is at all fucking necessary. What a fucking sperg. The meta that is "gaming commentary" is the true cancer.

>O-Oh yeah w-well in my opinion the game is bad AHAHA take that!

Alright desu

>by buying up every shitty tactic the industry puts out
No they don't, at best they voice support to be purposefully counter culture.

It sold 9 million, and it’s wirse for EA because they planned to have microtransactions from the start. Instead they caved to consumers who weren’t gonna buy their game in the first place and lost out on the money so they’re rushing to add them back in, most likely as cosmetics.

Anyone claiming the death of literally the biggest entertainment industry on the planet is blatantly fishing for clicks

The fact that people paid actual money for this video to be made is depressing

>vpol in a nutshell
Cringing real hard

You have to understand, the mindset is like a cult. You don't question the tenants of a cult; you follow the tenants of a cult. If you find yourself questioning the cult, then you're not a real member of that cult.
So when those companies look at the failings of the other companies, the non-cult members aren't looking at their failures, but the cultists are. No number of failures will deter someone who has become indoctrinated into a cult.

Microtransactions and DLC are the same way. Overall, it's hurt the game industry way more than it's helped. The number of games that do Microtransactions and DLC correctly are far outnumbered by the games that did it shittily and subsequently failed for it.

But, if you're a CEO, and you've bought into the mindset that microtransaction and DLC is the future, no amount of failure will deter you because you've already lost the battle for your mind. Facts and statistics are incidental to your feelings at that point.
That's why Capcom keeps putting dogshit DLC after dogshit DLC into their games despite the fact that it's proven to kill them faster than anything else. See: UMVC3.

But user you don’t get it, this MAGApede is #BASED because he sticks it to the SJW and greedy kikes. He tells it like it is, we need to take back our hobby from the soyboys.

You’re either with us or against us.

he's saying the environment that is being created is making it so nothing will ever be released that he likes. also that the localizers are becoming gatekeepers for foreign games to have to adhere to the same shit.

>9 million
*7 million.
The 9 million figure was a mistake on a press release.

gamepur.com/news/28360-ea-battlefront2-7-million-sales.html
gameplaying.info/sales-of-star-wars-battlefront-2-amounted-to-7-million-and-not-9-million/

Still doesn't matter, even if it was 9 million, that's still far below what they projected for profitability. The game is a confirmed failure in either case.

...

A dramatic shift from groups to individualism.

autism

>massive industry is incapable of making art
What a fucking surprise. Mainstream games lining up with the tastes of more hardcore players was an anomaly that existed because of many different factors, many of which were unique like the tech limitations which in turn lead to the popularity of entire formats that aren't viable in this day and age, see arcades. Things will not go back to how they were even just a couple of decades ago, the closest you can hope for is that game development tools will advance so much that the gap between indie and AAA devs closes further, but AAA devs will never go back to making good games. SJW's are largely irrelevant, they're arguably more of a problem for indie developers that aren't approved by the hipster cliques.

Nobody's stopping you from importing if you only like foreign games except laziness to bother learning the language all your favorite games are published in

Sales failure, but not financial. The whales will make up for it when they add mtx back.

It's because they are after that 100 million profit mark.
Overwacht already showed that you can multiply your earnings by hundreds of millions if you manage to catch a few whales.
And nothing is gonna stop them from trying, after all they have all that market reaserch data

>also that the localizers are becoming gatekeepers for foreign games
The amount of recent games with truly awful localisation is pretty low. The recent notable ones have mostly been from nintendo and even they have improved a bit. Plus a lot of times with that it isn't anything ideological but just poor translations. You'll never escape a few bad translations even in mostly well done games

Plus importing has never been easier

The simple answer is: They never had anything else.
They were born at the end of the cold war. They never had to wait in a bread line or ration their food in order to survive. So they naturally searched for ways to express themselves amid a life of relative ease; where their young years were seen as something to be spent being 'wild'.

What game?

>BUT WE SHOULDNT CONTROL DRUGS PEOPLE MUST BE ABLE TO DO WHATEVER THEY WANT EVEN IF IT NOT ONLY FUCK WITH THEIR LIVES OR THE LIVE OF THE OTHERS JUST BECAUSE IT MAKES MY PEE PEE FEELS FUNNY

If you defend the shady practices of the industry you are no different than someone who defends drugs and rape because "freedom"

You can see the same problem in the film and music industries. When audiences demand massive budget productions, financiers demand creative conservatism so they get their money back guaranteed, hence, sequels, remakes, other entirely unimaginative garbage

There'll always be indie games/film/music to break new creative ground

Alternatively stop being a pretentious git and try to enjoy AAA productions for what they are instead of expecting creative integrity and getting upset when its predictably not there

I didn't watch the video but I assumed that he was specifically talking about western gaming. And I mean, western gaming has been dead for me for quite a while. I can't remember the last western game that I cared about.

There have been some pretty egregious examples in anime localization recently.

While it's true Whales make up the vast majority of microtransaction payments, the statistics show that it requires a perfect storm of user interaction and marketability. Otherwise it either doesn't engage anyone or it sickens people to the point of protesting. Both of which are chaotic factors that no one can really build a financial strategy around.

Microtransactions are akin to casting a net and hoping it catches something. The idea that it's not free money is considered heretical in the games industry.

>people literally pay random faggots to recite Sup Forums shitposts to them for 10 minutes

>muh SJWs ruining games!
I love it when a trog comes along and honestly tries to convince people that a couple rainbow-haired whales working as 2d asset artists have any real sway over the direction of a game. The thing that's ruining gaming now is the same thing that's been ruining gaming since it's inception - upper level management issuing demands that benefit shareholders and not the game itself, and you sure as hell don't get to be a high-level executive by wearing skinny jeans and voting democrat.

>10 minutes
40!

Wew reddit.

>in anime localization
There a few notable in some dubs (even then the only ones I remember are a few years back), which if you are watching you never wanted an accurate product in the first place. Stick to subs and you have no issues

They are being corralled into the collectivist pen as they are being told they are individualists

Like getting crammed into a shipping container with dozens of other people but wearing ear muffs and a VR head set depicting you in a clear open field.

I wouldn't have a problem with sjw identity politics in games if they weren't pushing for devs who do not agree with their politics to alter their games. Frankly, indie games should be protected as free speech. The problem is that even now free speech in general is under attack by the left.

>the libertarian, individualist societies that white people build
>Western countries have some of the most generous welfare states to ever exist

just stop.

When was the last time a company did not back down when multi haircolored snowflakes complaint about something "sexist" or offensive in a videogame?

LMAO the only time that applied was in the frontier or Great Depression. The degeneracy sunk in hard during the fucking Cold War with the hippies aka fucking boomers.

Oh god.

I gave him two views just for you

Yeah you have to look outside of the mainstream industry to find the good stuff once it becomes too commercialized. Sadly a lot of idiots would rather complain about games aimed at the lowest common denominator not pandering to them than seek out games which do pander to them. Or even worse, they expect niche games to have the production values of big titles, and dismiss them if they don't.

They actually do have sway over the direction of a game. Every member who can be said to represent the team can have as much public sway as even the highest developer or designer.
In fact even the smallest member of a team can have a massive sway in not just the direction of the game, but the attitude of the people buying it. Which is just as important as the development process for many companies. Attitudes of the public before the game is even released has been shown to be as vital as the design of the game itself. It is entirely possible for someone to make the focus of a game be about themselves or about something incidental to the game itself and ruin it for the public. See: TOR.

Also see: pic related.

No thanks

Sjws are trying their hardest to ruin videogames, but I'm not watching some faggy youtube rant.

>BUT WE SHOULDNT CONTROL DRUGS
I didn't say this?
>If you defend the shady practices of the industry
But I didn't. Why do you keep assuming things instead of asking?
>you are no different than someone who defends drugs and rape because "freedom"
What the fuck kind of jump is that? Buying a Hearthstone card pack is the same as saying rape should be legal?

Alright, this is your last (You). Have fun being a retard on Sup Forums. Glad you came here from Facebook.
