Labubus are /v/-approved and have been since the start. Only tourists pretend to hate them.

These things are hideous and I don't understand them. Truly consumer whoring at it's finest.

Labubu is some gatcha box with a hideous character inside. It's influencer bait, reseller bait, and the retards who watch this stuff will buy it because they were told it was popular. It's the new Stanley cup.

I think Lalabu sounds better than Labubu, at least it rolls better on the tongue.

remember when consumerism was about things that were actually appealing?

Yeah, but at least back then we were buying full games and not rolling digital horse tokens hoping for SSR thighs. Consumerism now feels like a gacha pull itself-except you're always pulling Common Disappointment.

Pistachio's great, but this shit really does have the texture and appearance of a green nutty turd. The milk chocolate they use is garbage too.

Labubus and dubai chocolate are status symbol products. Over priced for the sake of making it look like you are rich. Like designer goods such as Prada and Supreme.
You are trying to liken free games to shit that.

Video games ruined the video game industry.
They became so valuable that if you're a media company you are leaving money on the table by not heavily investing and pushing games, even shovelware phone games are a big money maker.
Blame success and the greed/jealousy that fosters over anything else or to sum it up in one word, jews.

I'm so glad I'm not part of normie social media circles. I only get this kind of stuff when its wrapped around into being made fun of for being massively pushed and advertised. To the point that by the time I see it, the people talking about it assume you know what it is.

And yes, I got pushed the uma musume game so hard I started to hate it and blocked the ads.
Advertising is so fucking easy. Its just presence. You can fool 90% of normies into buying your shit if you just shove it in their face 24/7.

I don't even know what compels people to play what they play these days because it sure don't have anything to do with quality. We got 2 games, E33 and Stranding, with 90+ average scores and both only sold 3 millions, the same as FF16. Last year we got 3 games (FF7Rebirth, Metaphor and Astrobot) with 90+ average scores and all of them only sold 3 millions or less. The big sellers were an Early Access game Palworld and mid-ass Wukong... And Call of Duty of-course.

Your confusion is entirely because you still haven't realized over half of video game consumers are now chinese. Anything thats selling over 3 million is going to be mostly popular in China.
Your other issue is looking at video game journo scores. Astrobot was an astroturfed and purchased success by Sony and pushed by journos. Most people had little interest in it.
