Videogame spending down 25% among 18-24 year olds, more than any other category.

Good the bubble is finally bursting. When everyone is a game dev, nobody is. I'm looking forward to the nintendo gatekeeping era.

Woah...

You can really tell who has the money. I'd wager 75% of new hires 18-24 are women. Probably a 10% gender gap for bachelor holders too. Young men are really checking out.

Why buy new games when emulating Wild Guns is free and better than new games

Thats why prestige beauty is bottom

Most play games with their friends, I say bring back arcades, add lots of VR and holographic elements so you can play with friends all over the glob and add sex arcades that you can bring the girls over to

Are you really trying to turn this into a console war thread? Holy shit console warriors are so fucking mentally ill.

>>714183249

anon, even 5060 prebuilts are $1200-$1400

>>714183927
You are posting an RTX __60 PC build, with 8GB VRAM, for $1,200 as a "gotcha". That is incredibly bad value.

zoomers would rather be at the gym or out socializing than sitting staring at a screen.

>>714183879
This thread is about the cost of gaming. It's imperative to discuss what the costs of gaming actually are. Such as PC parts and 8GB VRAM cards that are e-waste.

>>714184250
I've seen you do this shit before to other threads you lying faggot. I'm so tired of mentally ill freaks shitting up every goddamn thread with whatever autistic obsession makes them absolutely fucking furious. Fuck this board, I remember when faggots like lanced jack were personally permabanned by moot, now every thread has some kind of fucking freak who belongs in an asylum.

consoles are sold at a loss retard
talk about value when the only reason you see any in a console is because you're stupid enough to just look at the upfront price

I think this is more that those age group tend to play the same 2 or 3 online games over and over again constantly online with their friends compared to boomers like me who never play online games and just buy flavour of the month single player games like Assassin's Creed Shadows and KCD2 and Expedition 33 and just finish the story and move on and go several weeks without playing any games until the next big single player game comes out. I didnt play anything in June and likely nothing this month either. But I'll buy Mafia The Old Country and Dying Light The Beast in August and Hell is Us, Borderlands 4 and Silent Hill F in September and Vampire Bloodline 2 and ghost of Yotei in October and then probably Metroid Prime 4 and Crimson Desert in November. I wont play any of these games for an extended period and will just blast through the main story in each of them the week they come out and in between their releases I will play nothing.

Hey buddy it looks like you don't the fact PC gaming is very expensive. Don't fight with me, take it up with NVIDIA and AMD. Next time don't link to an 8GB VRAM GPU PC build that costs over a thousand dollars. That's robbery.

>>714185561
More like collectively shitting your diapers for years and years for being told "let your sister play games" and "don't rape women"

>>714183249
Oof consoles use to be the cheap option for when you want to play but couldnt affprd a computer. What happened?

If this is true, this could easily explain the uptick in gacha/mobile "shilling" around /v/. Everyone has phones and gacha tend to sponsor themselves as "free to play" so even the poorfags got that going for them

>>714186224
Where's the 4K GPU gaming PC build for 450 dollars that matches the PS5? Is it in the room with us right now?

My little brothers, one plays only F2P or games others bought for him. He buys skins, but no games. The older one who was around for 360 stopped altogether, I don’t think he owns a single gaming device anymore

Your little brothers are playing DRM online only games which will end of service like a website going 404. As their brother you're doing a poor job of looking out for them.

Its way higher than that in the US. 50% more women get degrees than men.

aren't youtubers unironically shilling piracy as the solution for steaming platforms and vidya now?

More like people aren't spending on new slop and instead buying cheap older games. My Steam backlog will last me years.

>>714186821
For some reason they want us childless and poor but also to consume a lot, most entertainment will die out as soon as these last generations die out, enjoy India World, retarded elites but hey number goes UP I guess

>>714182404
>when everyone is a game dev, nobody is
the last time the market collapsed it was because low quality slop flooded the shelves
nobody actually had good taste and if they bought a quality game it was largely accidental
...
i guess some things never change
thanks indie devs
thanks
>looking forward to the nintendo gatekeeping era
they pulled us out of the first collapse in the 80s
but they will never pull visual novel slop from the eShop
it's over

what actually happened was one specific market (console games) in one specific country (america) collapsing because of garbage like ET and tons of failed consoles.

4k gpu isnt a kind of gpu. All modern gpus can achieve 4k resolution and higher.

Anyway, pc has always had a higher barrier of entry, not from just a price standpoint, but from a total effort perspective as well. Consoles are great for someone who likes something simple, easy to set up, ready to game. One reason they are priced lower is because the reach a broader audience, with that you need a lower effort barrier of entry, more plug and play

>>714192583
there are plenty of white people who have english as a second language

>>714186481
I guess if you qualify the shittiest graphics imaginable, constant massive fps drops into the teens and unable to maintain even >30 fps as '4k' worthy, the ps5 does qualify
but then so do most PCs

Nobody wants to hire zoomers because they fear of getting some woke lazy asshole.

So most zoomers are forced to do garbage min wagie jobs at mcdonalds. And nobody wants to do that shit. So they all become jobless losers that riot on the streets and loot shit instead of benefitting society. They blame trump or ice or cops for all their problems.

>>714181430 (OP)
I'm sure it has nothing to do with them almost exclusively playing FtP slop.
