/v/ doesn't play video games and talking about video games would instantly reveal that.

4chan is surface level social media like Twitter etc. except you can say funny words sometimes.

i've actually been spending a lot more time on /vg/ recently, it's a mixed bag but at least a tad bit more consistent

The problem with /vg/ is the blind fanboys. Most people play a game for a couple weeks to a couple months and move on. But posters on /vg/ have been playing their game for years so anyone new coming in with some criticism is immediately shouted down or ignored. And it makes sense, they are aware of those issues but they don't want to rehash the same tired topics for the Xth time. Generals are only good for newly released super popular games.

the other problem with /vg/ is that too many of the generals themselves are nothing more than a themed chatroom with occasional vidya. and why wouldn't it be? a thread needs to stay afloat and the kinds of people who'll stick with a singular thread for a long time are filtered from those who are REALLY attached to the game.
even if certain types of threads got sorted into more-relevant boards like /vmg/ that doesn't solve the persistent problem of /v/ being a fucking cesspool of /b/, twitter screencap, and /pol/ threads. there still are genuine vidya threads but they're competing against an endless deluge of garbage. there isn't anywhere for recurring threads to really go, and in any case it's not like recurring is itself a bad thing. people try to repel people to /vg/ for wanting to continue talking once a thread hit bump limit and slid off the catalog despite the thread only showing up once a month if even.

>/v/ being a fucking cesspool of /b/, twitter screencap, and /pol/ threads
Posting on /pol/ should IP ban you from all the other boards on 4chan for 24 hours. Every additional post on /pol/ adds another 24 hours. It wouldn't affect /pol/ in the slightest but it would improve the whole website. But it would also kill a lot of traffic from /v/ and /tv/. Generals work best for MMOs and competitive multiplayer games or other 100% mechanics driven games. Anons can argue and bitch about stats and techniques until the cows come home but anything with a narrative and characters turns quickly into fanboys vs. newcomers.
