What causes these types of video games, otherwise known as friendslop and why the fuck are they so popular with normies?

>>714235391 (OP)
Cuz normies have friends? Kinda set yourself up for that one.

Are you seriously struggling to understand the concept of friends op?

they see streamers seemingly having fun. they wish to experience it.

>>714235391 (OP)
Because normies have friends. Once you play games with other people you actually know it's hard to go back.

they are cashgrabs. I play a video games to enjoy its content and have fun. Not so some company can milk 1 hour of content disguised as 50+ and package it for $10.

I played schedule one for several hours with my friend cuz he's got a grind addiction and it's fun fucking around and letting him do his thing while we hang. Not everyone plays games for the same reasons you do and every game is made with the intent to make money from selling it.

mfw op goes to a park and yells at people hanging out for having fake fun

Its a barebones unity game with a singular gameplay loop with no endgame. There is zero excuse for $20 at this. Holy shit stop slobbering on slop. Okay its friendslop, but it has no content. its just a shitty drug dealer simulator made in unity.

Yeah man, i never said that wasn't true, but that doesn't really invalidate what I said either. Why be mad about this instead of immersing yourself in some of your primo content? I'm not gonna stop playing stuff with my friend if it's fun to do so. Value is subjective.

>>714236312
when you get down to it pretty much 90% of all media consumption is tasteless slop for retards

>friendslop
Sweet a new buzzword to the filter!

>$10
This games are priced and advertised appropriately, I have no issue with them. Repo even has a dedicated developer, and I hear Schedule 1 updates are frequent.

More importantly majority of them have reminded developers and players that Proximity Chat is the fucking shit and makes a game 10x better. Trying to undo the irreversible damage that Party Chat/Discord has done to gaming as a whole. I know Teamspeak/Vent were huge on PC back in the day, but games weren't commonly built AROUND them back then.

I spent $1.50 for garry's mod and it has given me over 2000 hours of content and entertainment. Why should I give these scammer cashgrabs money?

they're basically just roblox games for millenials who think they're above playing roblox

>all the normalfag friend-havers in this thread

>>714235726
if i could wave a magic wand and make these into finished games i would.

I moved three hours away from where I grew up, so these games are the only way I stay in contact with my friends, outside of the occasional weekend hangout.

It stinks.

They are extremely cheap for the content
They run on potato PCs
Normies love doing shit with friends
these games punish you less for being bad and is just more like HAHA he died so epic lmfao rofl
steamer bait and zoomers copy streamers
and 50 other reasons I can't remember, anyways you're a friendless faggot OP

>>714235726

>>714239408
Fuck you and fuck off

>>714240292
i refuse to believe anyone brings up graphs with sincerity. its just an easy way to claim victory and it never fucking fails to bait people. sometimes you just want to bully and you dont care how it gets done.

>>714235391 (OP)
Faggot V-tubers and normies.

>>714235391 (OP)
They are easy/cheap to make with high profit margins. Normies like them because they're easy to get into, cheap, and have little to no investment to the actual game.

I call these "Content Games". The point of them is purely supposed to be Streamer fodder that are devoid of any substance or depth, but they work very well as multiplayer titles that are good for reaction bait, general collaboration fodder, or in general are simply quick enough to get started that any solo can make quick impressions on them. Lethal Company tows the line because while it's obviously also extremely hollow and only serves to be something to magnetize streamers, it at least trends towards attempting to be a proper game where execution and cooperation aren't just a silly thing for people to Pepega and Pogchamp at. Those other three games are complete streamer trough slop and have no merit beyond their ability to make their audiences laugh.

>>714240292
They are genuinely bad games though with the intention of solely making money, which is why 90% of them are co-op and designed for streamers/friend groups.

It's friendslop.
