It's more restricted and politically correct than ever, a lot more dull and cringe than ever, a lot of studios have been nuked, but yea I guess you could say some of the big publishers are still fine.

>>713405390
why can you heart comments

Maybe if the original black stickmen did something, ANYTHING, other than fucking frowning and sitting on their ass they'd have prevented it all from happening.

Fucking DO something fuck's sake

>bro can't watch threads

This is kinda what happened to "gaming" as an overall culture and industry but as far as in-person gaming communities like the FGC they've remained intact. The real problem has been trannies seeping into these communities and demanding that everything bend to their will.

Yeah, as it turns out the black stick figures were the ones ruining the hobby. They want more of the same shit only to whine about new stuff being rehashes or not copying rehashes.

We didn't know how good we had it

>>713405659
>Fucking DO something fuck's sake

Like what? If I wanted to ban you, could I? No, and ban evasion is a thing anyway. As one of the old people, I can tell you that there's nothing we can do. Not that there's a we, because it's just me left.

>>713405614
>It's more restricted and antiwhite than ever,
correction applied

If you want to see how I tried to gatekeep 4chan, this is what I did. It was pointless. Even if you don't speak to the new people, they speak to each other. There's nothing you can do.

>>713405993
>It was pointless.
We used to post gore and jailbait in threads that we didn't like, that kept normalfags away from a long time. In 2012~ we got astroturfed into saying "normies" instead of normalfags, now just look at the retardation people are spouting around here.

>>713405993

It's really useful with a lot of features that aren't present by default. Also you are probably missing every image with sound, since I guess you don't have the sound extension either.

>>713406108
Uh yes, I am the black stick man. I've been on 4chan for a very long time. I watched the entire userbase get replaced.

>>713405614
>i cant call people retarded niggers in my game so it's bad

>>713406105
even chatgpt says fag nigger normies aren't scared of it, normies are not scared of jailbait, normies are not scared of racism, normies are not scared of gore. They are already warming up to loli thanks to vtubers and anime, the only thing that would keep them away is illegal

>>713405013 (OP)
The people who complain the most about this sort of thing post on places like reddit and twitter and /v/ more than they play games.

>>713405614
People who say this are tourists.

Games are not only more available, they are more cheap as well. I can currently get NFS and battlefield for TWO DOLLARS and get hours out of it. You can demo full games for 2 hours before refunding it as well.

Additionally fan-patches and mods make older games better to play on modern hardware. Most games weren't emulation-friendly in the past, I couldn't run tekken tag tournament until a decade later.

In the past, you had less PC games to buy and a lot of them were extremely expensive months and years later. You'd be lucky if you had a compatible set of hardware to install them as well. Don't tell me about their stupid DRM that had 3 max installs or CDkeys that do not work. I do not miss SecuROM at all

That's you actually, you're the tourist because if you deny all the stuff that happened for the past decade, that means you don't know shit and you have nothing meaningful to say.

If you think gaming got ruined at any point you are underage retard.

>>713406208
I guess you got old and got dumb because 4chan has always been like this, sure it's a bit different but the disingenuous posting has always been like this. To be honest I think most of the shittier posting is mostly because people just forgot and slowly changed even oldfags like us when they started restricting spamming nigger and shit.
>inb4 newfag
newfags wouldn't even know that OP image existed, that's the state we're in desu senpai

>>713406419

These are not games btw, these are slop.

>>713406425
The point is that the internet has never been politically correct at any point in time. Darth Vader is literally calling people niggers but you cry about an imaginary crowd of transgender blue hairs banning you for saying two genders.

You just want asspats for saying racist shit and yeah, not everyone is going to like what you say. Deal with it.

>>713406620
>4chan has always been like this

No, it hasn't. Can you prove you're an oldfag?

>>713405614
This dude pretty much said it. Yeah it's still alive but it fucking sucks. I actually got into other hobbies lately because how lame it's been. Yeah more people like games now making it wide as a lake but shallow as a puddle. You can tell apart of the normalfags that only bought their first console during the pandemic and you can't have a real conversation with them because they only play normalfag shit and their opinions are unrefined.

>>713405859
Yes, things were better before brain dead fags like you whined about everything.

You are just a stupid bitch that ignores all the other shit boring people restricted, like video game designs, story narratives, and character styles.

You use the "calling people niggers in chat rooms" as a coping mechanism for all the other shit they've restricted.

This is how the thread looks, if you think I was bluffing. I do hope the sub-humans think the percentage is a bluff too. I don't know who any of you are.

>>713406815
not just that but the retards really wanted to twist it into political slop. Game saw better days, even without including any political slop

The fact that you pretend you don't know, means that you're part of the cancer that plagues video games and it sucks that we have to co-exist with people like you who hold gaming back.

A lot of the people telling you that gaming is dead haven't played any at all, they just read tweets and make youtube vids.
>>713406912
Bro, there was always overt political shit in games. Rainbow Six was about killing left-wing ecoterrorists and SOCOM was about killing left-wing anarchists. Max Payne 3 was about you gunning down right-wing politcians selling the organs of the poor.

If anything, the modern ones are deeply scared of touching politics.

>>713407249

not what I meant by twisting
again, games saw better days

>>713407108
>>713407157
If you used your brain for once you would understand that I am not saying all of it is good, faggot. My point is that inde shows gaming is not restricted with stuff like video game designs, story narratives, and character styles. Also shitty games in large amounts existed from pretty much the start of the hobby.

>>713406806

i distinctly remember everyone was racist because it was funny and irreverent and not because they were actually seething tribalists competeing with eachother to see who sucks the most jew/nigger/commie dick
now you get all these thirdie weirdos trying to fit in by being genuinely racist. also anyone east of france and west of japan is UTTERLY incapable of comprehending sarcasm or irony. i personally think 4chan should ban all non-domestic regions from posting the same way 2ch and 2chan do. foreigners who "don't get it" are the primary issue.

gaming is way past its golden era and thats a fact, and although political agenda became a big part of the problem, its nowhere near as bad as devs being overall lazy faggots. I'm even willing to believe that much of the political slop comes from devs becoming too lazy and greedy to pay up new team members and would rather replace them with cheaper shittier workers

>>713406639
What the literal fuck are you talking about? A video of a monkey talking about niggers in a zoomer tiktok video has nothing to do with the current state of gaming.
Games are more censored than ever, but its not about censoring you from saying nigger, its about self-censoring the content before releasing it to the public.

>>713406419
You molest children, reddit. Thank you for letting me know in the first sentence. Your drooling babble is meaningless.

>>713405013 (OP)
No, it was correct, but the problem is correcting itself because Xbots and Snoys are being priced out whether they're on home consoles or PCs while AAA games are dying.

>>713405390
This.

>>713405659
here you go

>>713406209
censorship never stops at "retard" or "nigger", it's always used as a foothold for more censorship in the future. we always end up under a fascist boot because you're too much of a baby to handle hearing someone say "nigger". you dumb nigger.

>>713405614
>It's more restricted and politically correct than ever
Best example would be observing how EvE online culture shifted, being one of the original MMOs still running. Back in the day smak talk in local and casual racism was practically the norm, nowadays the fragile snowflakes will instantly report you, post screenshots to plebbit and generally make sure you might as well biomass your character because you get shitlisted from the biggest corps nad alliances.
Goons outright brag about undergoing a "cultural revolution" and purging all the old nerds, went from edgy shitposters to being politically correct shitlibs.

too bad most of the time half of the black stickmen decide that they must open up for the wider world and start fighting about it with the other half while greens and browns continue to shit up the hobby

>>713405659
went indie and made their own games, made their own small communities when mainstream got infested with lefties

>>713405013 (OP)
No, I would say we are still in the bottom left. Things are in decline, not yet completely unbearable, but definitely not what it used to be. The next 10 years will be the make or break. If companies decide to increase prices and continue to make shit for "diversity and equity", then we are moving towards middle bottom. I wonder how long it will take before people decide to stop buying when every game is 100+ dollars with no DLC.

The industry is going down in flames, but that's alright; big fires are good for getting rid of all the rotten old trees.
