Feels good to be a PC gamer.

Video games began to appeal to a wider audience, more businesses got involved and started to market and pander to more groups.
Just like the movie industry, the game industry will be nothing but dried dog turds soon. Money to be made means blood to suck.

Edgy advertising only works on white males, modern marketing is trying to target everyone now.

If I had to guess, it's because back in the day of magazine ads, companies were trying to keep people from turning the page on their ad, so they had to do raunchy shit like to get people to look.
In the day of press conferences, Twitter accounts, and the internet in general, there's not really any need for that kind of thing, and the closest you'll get is TV ads, but even then companies try to show of at least a little gameplay, which isn't really something you can do in a magazine outside of tiny, captioned screenshots.
tl;dr the nature of commercials and advertisement changed, so there's no need to silly eye catching ads.
Or y'know, you can go muh sjws or whatever like this dude .

Nobody is impressed if you show a few pixels, and they knew TV was your only real info outside of school and gaming mzgs, so showing funny gags instead of grafix sold more

Yeah, because objective evidence suggest leftism is the main problem. But hey, why not just ignore it?

I never knew I wanted to tie up a slampig before jacking it to tender loving amateur sofcore of a committed couple in her full view before telling her she can suck and swallow better than she ever has or leave. Then make her leave afterwards regardless.
Wish I knew a few years back, that'd probably be considered rape now.

I remember that game, you could play as a bunch of crazy shit, a hotdog being one of them. You could also race as the N64 logo, among other things.

what happened to arcade racers
those were so much more fun than all the "realistic" racers like need for speed and forza that overwhelm the market these days
Jose Allen
>what happened to arcade racers
They're still in arcades.
Not sure why they don't do well on console release though, I guess racers like Forza are just more popular with normies because muh realistic cars.

The youth just ain’t interested in catchy slogans or goofy advertisements anymore.
Like fuck, commercials in general aren’t as good anymore for any given product. The last time I remember a commercial making me buy a product was for Charmin Ultra Strong, and that’s more because it was on sale at the supermarket that week with some no-name Mexico-tier brand.
Brody Gomez
How did they get away with this?

hands down best ad
Cameron Russell
No arcades left where I live, except shitty overpriced ones at boardwalks and tourist traps.
Gonna visit a pinball museum and play unlimited on ~50 machines from 6 decades for at least 8 hours soon, though.
Might even rent a room or sleep in my car so I can do it twice. Not real close to me. I'm fucking pumped.
Ryder Martinez
For the western game industry maybe.
>B-b-b-but Nintendo censored X

Aiden Sanchez
Really man? Majority of advertising makes no sense for the product their selling. How many times have you seen a commerical of a happy family driving to some restaurant thinking maybe it's a car commercial or for the establishment, only to find out at the end it's for tampons.
Gavin Foster
IS this a hidden message from ice cube
James Murphy
I refuse to believe they actually used this as promotional advertisement
Cooper Gray
This is how you know someone is still in their coming of age process, when they say shit like this. If they even started.

Number 5 is Hirohito. Pretty sure the guy left of Saddam is the leader of communist Vietnam. Forgot his name though. Hochi Min?

For real though, a pair of my dress pants got ruined from simply keeping my 3ds in it's pockets.
Eventually the fabric started tearing where the 3DS corners would sit. Really crappy.
