i see a lot of gaming is healing posts on /v/ but will the western gaming and anime community ever fully recover from the damage done from 2014-2020? the success of Stellar Blade is great and nostalgic to see a game like that become so beloved in this era but i just want what we had back, i want the nerd spaces from when i was a kid

I think it can recover but large swathes of the community itself are pozzed. Easily avoidable but pretty bad.

this is a fair assessment of the situation

There's no damage, there's just too many content to have gaymer as a hobby

there is damage, the amount of ecchi games and sex appeal in games went noticeably down and there was an uptick in single player movie games

>the nerd spaces from when i was a kid
This was the prime nerd space for at least decade.

Now there's motherfuckers on 4chan that get mad if you post porn.

Normies have infested every last corner of the internet we once called sacred. Like rats in grain silo, devouring every last bit and only leaving piss and shit behind.

It's still there, you just have to pay for le skins

paying for add ons sucks and is why i only play relatively dated games, when i buy a game i want to own the whole thing

mods are a different story since they are technically not part of the game being fan made
