How do you feel about videogames finally collapsing?

>>714470738 (OP)
my only issue with this logic is how selfish it is

>>714470979
It's actually a good thing, tho
If gaming collapses we'll get more quality games when it rises again

>If gaming collapses we'll get more quality games when it rises again
good point

>indieshit for fps, rts and stealth
>aaa for fps
>vidya is le collapsing
Lmao

man that guy is handsome

>xbox is all of gaming
lol no, its a archaic platform that lost the platform wars 3 generations ago and the layoffs were when USAID got taken away so it was literally government funded dei hire slop. let it die and new consoles and better companies take its place

>If gaming collapses we'll get more quality games when it rises again
I don't know why you would think that's true. It's never happened before.

you can literally see when Skyrim released

The whole "video game crash" meme is completely America-centric. And while USA was and is the most relevant market area, the video game crash did nothing to hinder the markets in Europe where PC gaming was already popular via Commodore 64, and Japan and it's arcades.

cats out of the bag.
the moment it gets any rising momentum, vultures will rip it apart for pennies.
sadly this is the last one. this is it.

Good, subtle bait.

I have anti-woke fatigue

But indie games and Nintendo games are killing it right now.

Do you guys know how much money Toby Fox made overnight with Deltarune? He was already rich from Undertale!

What's the best singleplayer game from 20 years ago?

oh great a twitter screencap thread
let me just screencap it so I can post it on twitter so someone can screencap it even further and post on 4chan as ragebait or sth

>>714470738 (OP)
two more weeks.

>>714470738 (OP)
I am a striaght white guy
the people who get to make all the story and character design decision really hate me and have spend the last 10 years demonizing and attacking people like me.
So I really do not care if they suffer now as a result of their own bigotry and incomptence

>>714470738 (OP)
ftfy

It happened in the mid-2000s or 2012 at the latest.
Everything since that collapse has been successively stupider bagholders acquiring and consolidating the scraps of the former industry while shifting to being purely non-producing entities.
There are notable breakpoints after that where you can tell that the bagholders are trying some new stupid tactic or lose faith, but the collapse has already happened.
The only reason that videogames don't have the same negative and humiliating reputation as crypto or NFTs is because most people play videogames and thus have an experience with them that is separate from the retarded market.

>>714470738 (OP)
maybe it's just because I'm a 31 year old (it's over) boomer but competitive multiplayer games simply do not appeal to me. Games like Human: Fall Flat with friends is fun, games where you play with friends. Otherwise I prefer single player games.

It may be exceedingly harder to compete with young people with infinite free time and maybe almost twice reaction speed. Not impossible but honestly not worth it. There is no shame in it, aging sucks I know.

>>714470738 (OP)
My gaming catalogue has reduced to me just playing Morrowind, oblivion and Skyrim over and over when I'm not painting 40k.

Todd won.

>the people who get to make all the story and character design decision
Fuck that shit. They can call me an evil hitler colonizer all they want if the gameplay is good. If you care about story and character design you're a part of the problem, not the solution. Anti-woke games can be slop too, like Stellar Blade or Palworld.

How is Morrowind?

>>714470738 (OP)
Indifferent. People still make good games and, even if they stopped making games altogether today, there's such a massive stockpile of amazing games to go back to that one lifetime isn't enough to appreciate it all. Games industry has done enough for me, anything more is icing on the cake.

>>714474196
This. Used to play games made by 5-20 people teams two decades ago and still play games by 5-20 people now.

>>714473741
lol, i just don't care about most of /v/ taste. you guys worship slop like stalker or the souls series which have dogshit gameplay in my opinion.

>>714471529
this only counts physical sales right, because a drop from 680 million sales to 80 million sales is awful

>>714470738 (OP)
Entire society is collapsing, acting like a gigachad is one of the most dogshit zoomertarded takes ever.

I hope every single one of you of you die alone , poor and in the street. You don't even want real games anyways, the market dictates what get's made and what doesn't , same market you killed in the first place. You will eventually go back to buying more fortnite skins

>>714473368
I'm a 25 yo zoomer and competitive games have never appealed to me either. But most of my friends have only ever played competitive, so I think it's more of a personal preference thing.
I think competitive games are just an entirely different market. There's a lot of people out there than play nothing bu competitive games, to the point they barely know what a single player game really is like, except for shit like GTA that every person under the sun has played at some point and knows about.

>>714470738 (OP)
I love it

Who asked?

pretty much op pic except elin instead of 20 year old game

I don't think you are making the point you think you're making.

Everytime I hear the "gaming crash is coming" I always hear "WESTERN gaming is crashing" Because so far NONE of the games I play regularly have been affected.

I don't really care much.
There are still exciting games coming out that I am interested in. I will play those games. I am not interested in all these other games that are crashing and burning and involved in these corporate trashfire disasters.
