Every single fucking modern game like Forspoken, Saints Row Reboot, Immortals of Aveum, etc. all have jokes about "haha college debt" "haha paying for college" "haha i still haven't recovered from my student loans"

IT'S NOT FUNNY.
IT'S NOT RELATABLE.

The reason western writing sucks so much now is its all an incestuous nepo industry of people who's only life experience has been upper middle class gated communities, college activism from the same handful of universities then working in the industry. They're writing what they know (which isn't much).

a job in 2025 doesn't even guarantee you get to pay your rent.

Lashing out over the unjust cruelty of having to pay for a worthless Arts degree.

To be fair I do think universities are a complete racket and tuition should be relative to the value of the desired degree with grants and scholarships awarded exclusively for high value fields like medicine.

It's relatable. Colleges run scams and expect people to drown in debt for decades for a shit degree that they promised would lead to success.

>>714424694 (OP)
Millennial writing 101. College debt is the horror of their life. They got brainwashed for their entire life that they had to go to college. It's all they can write about because its the only experience to draw from.

>>714424694 (OP)
because unlike you, they are educated and have bigger problems to deal than whining about minorities in videogames constantly

>>714424694 (OP)
1. You're making mountains out of molehills
2. As the characters there said, free education is nothing to look down upon. Through most of history education has only been something for those who can afford it and being able to do was opened a lot of doors

Doesn’t that depends on the STEM field? How can it be hard to find work on Science or medicine

>>714425181
If you just attend a local state school and don't go for a Masters or PHD you can easily afford to pay tuition with a part time job. You only rack up the massive student loan debt by attending out of state schools, living on campus, buying a food plan, paying full price for all your textbooks class materials from the campus store, and so on.

>>714424867
I hate this trend where it looks like a bunch of modern people playing dress up. They'll scan a random Asian lady's face and slap elf ears on it and call it a day, or a zoomer guy with a modern haircut but he's in armor so he looks like a fantasy character right? Veilguard had the same problem and it's a big part of why I think so many people hated that game immediately. You take one look at it and you just feel that this isn't another world, it's just people from our world face scanned in.

Because they grew up on Marvel movies and they're also shitter-shattered that they spent 100k on a degree that they can't actually use in actual real life and not just social media.
Also because their sense of self entirely only relies on skin color, political leaning, and sexuality and literally nothing else, and just assume that everyone else is okay with that, supports them, and anyone that disagrees is an [insert wall of text here].
See: the Saint's Row reboot

It also kinda ties into that thing that's been getting more popular the last 10-ish years where most media is slowly becoming just a bunch of autobiographies in one way or another, where people aren't making as many fantasy worlds with fantasy races.
>no, the Dwarves are actually just disgusting parodies of actual "People of Small"
>Elves HAVE to be as mixed as IRL because ??? and no, they're not different races of elves, they're just different because that's how IRL works, racist!
>no they can't just fix his legs with magic, he uses a magic wheelchair that looks just like an IRL one for some reason
>the Qunari now have human faces because they were all "white" before
>haha I made my racist grandma into a character in my movie and she dies right after saying racemixing is bad!
>hehe I made the main character look like me and he's gay because I'm gay, but now they made me remove the romance subplot and now my character is a boring husk because I literally only made him gay with nothing else in his entire personality!
>I added an entire monologue by the "different" character all about how you should universally accept people when they're different because I'm trans and I want eggs to see this speech and be empowered!
Nope, can't just make up fake worlds with fake world problems, gotta have the main villain say "Make Gleepnak'r Great Again" as he glasses a planet.
I kinda want a hat that just says "Make Fantasy Fantastical Again", but I live somewhere where people might not think that's funny.

>>714429489
What the fuck are you even babbling on about

Why did this game flop I wonder?

>>714429670
Because nobody even knew it came out

>>714429949

Are you trolling? The game had a shitload of advertising and the devs even talked about how they wanted it to be a big franchise.

But it turns out advertising your game with browns, dykes and black women won't make it sell. I didn't find out the protagonist was a white male until after it was released because of how much they kept him hidden.

>>714424694 (OP)
I got into University without having to pay because I had a high score, in the top ten... But then I dropped out just one semester in because I found out that for the degree I was doing, at the end of it all, we would specifically have to read about Feminism (The Feminine Mystique), History of Black Slavery in America, and "Contemporary American Literature" (which in that period I was in at least happened to be some kind of shit written by a Black Lesbian, because the school categorized those as being "American Culture" that we should be aware of, learn about and make ourselves comfortable with.

So, we would basically have to read those things up, mandatory, then remember what we read about them, and in our finals, we would have some random questions pertaining those topics that if we didn't get rid would risk us either coming out of there with a shit score, or just failing the finals outright and having to redo them later.

Thank God I didn't waste any money on that, and good I didn't further waste any of my time there. But I do feel bad about those who got there by having to pay and everything. They're probably just working in a warehouse or as cashier or some shit like that now since that degree would be useless.

>>714424694 (OP)
The writers are self indulgent. They cannot help themselves and are incapable of putting themselves into the shoes of a character. So they insert their own thoughts and ideas into the game characters.

It's the same reason God of War is now about a middle aged dad dealing with his ex girlfriend and the challenges of raising a son who suspiciously appears to not actually be his own flesh and blood.

>>714430071
If it had load of advertising then why didn't I see any

Nice, nexttry getting a degree in posting without chatgpt

Game devs are realizing they got completely scammed by corrupt Institutions and are now debtslaves to those Institutions, whereas foreigners can just scam up totally fake credentials and get brought in by Google/Apple/Microsoft. Basically if you're smart you don't go to college you lie your ass off pretending you did lmao don't hate the player hate the game

You are either a child, a tradie, or incredibly rich. For the majority of people it's pretty relatable

>>714425181
I can't say it is exactly fair, but most people in 6 figure debts are retards who wanted to go to an out of state school in LA or NYC.
I graduated with a 2.2 GPA due to skipping school 2-3 days a week. I went to community college, got FAFSA that paid for all of it + books + money left over, graduated from there after 2 years with a 4.0 GPA and got multiple scholarships to then go to UCF and only ended up like $7500 in debt after 2 years thanks to all the scholarships/government money and I paid it off in literally 2.5 years and I could have done it sooner.

>People can just go to community college to do the useless general education credits that don't mean jack shit
>People can go to an in state school because unless you're going to like a top 5 college it is all the same shit
>NO I NEED THE COLLEGE EXPERIENCE! I NEED TO GO FOR 4-5 YEARS TO SOME COLLEGE IN ANOTHER STATE SO I CAN TAKE OUT $150,000 IN STUDENT LOANS THE SYSTEM IS SO FUCKED IT IS SO UNFAIR

it's "relatable" at least here in burgerland but people who make whining about it a key part of their personality are annoying as fuck

my guy theyre all written by sweet baby inc and i shit u not

>>714429625
My bad, I forgot how big 4chan's character limit is compared to other sites, whichever one you're from.

TL;DR:
1. Lots paid $$$$$ for useless degrees.
2. Identity culture is exploding.
3. Social media brain making them only speak in references.
4. Diversity AT ALL COSTS, even with fictional races.
5. "Relatability" = an "objective good"
6. They love using media as a tool to teach (and/or brainwash) about a certain way of thinking.
7. Egotism making them turn characters into personal mouthpieces.
Is this short enough?

>>714430071
Bruv, I don't know what game this is either. Doesn't matter what their intentions were in making this game if they can't find a way to get the advertising to me, a card-carrying Gamer with money.
I dunno, advertising in general is just a shitshow these days, really the only advertising that -works- nowadays is handing free game keys to streamers so they play it, or sponsoring them so they have to say nice things about it.

>>714431673
What doesn't help is fuckloads of people who run to the first company that gives out loans and they sign the first thing that gives them the money.
I mean hell, the bank / loanshark / whatever says "this is the money you are BORROWING, this is how much you need to pay back MINIMUM per year to not go further into debt, now sign it if you want", it's just that a lot of people go "ooh free money" and sign it despite having no chance of ever paying it back, even if they got their dream job, then get mad when they realize "loan" means "borrow" and "minimum" means they'll be paying for about 300 years.
Doesn't help half the time they're getting an objectively weak degree in something that there's no chance of making money off of to pay their loans off with.
Like, they'll travel the country to some big school, live in a fancy dorm, buy all their books new, end up $200k in debt all for a degree in a useless field, then kick and scream about how Communism would allow them to teach poetry as their day job.

It's literally the only life experience these hack fraud millennial writers have.

People who make entertainment don't get degrees that have good jobs, so they are always broke, in debt and complaining about money. I used to be one of those people. I went to music school and wasted most of my life chasing that dragon. Make twice what I did from gigs just fixing sewage pipes.
