I hope the stunt was worth it

>>716217685 (OP)
Such a weird decision. I actually really wonder what this dude thought would happen.

and they're shutting down the old game so they don't have to compete with themselves
brilliant

>i-is that a hat that makes me feel upset?!
>NOOOOOO, YOU BETTER FAIL IN YOUR EVERY ENDEAVOR BECAUSE OF THIS

>>716217986
they would've failed regardless because conservatives just don't know how to be creative

>>716217758
if the game didnt suck that'd be a typical publicity stunt.

>>716217986
Making any kind of political statement in relation to your company seems retarded to me. And if he's this retarded in how he runs his company why would I assume he's smart in how he designs games.

>>716218120
It really isn't though. Not only did he use a version of a trump slogan, he wore a hat that is the version Elon Musk was wearing. Musk is pretty fucking polarizing. At this point people on both sides of the political spectrum hate his guts. That's why I'm confused what this guy thought would happen. Like is he just dumb and didn't realize people would think he was a Musk dick sucker? Did he think most gamers were secretly Musk dick riders and would love him for it? I actually wanna know what his misconception was.

>servers closing of old game nobody plays to reduce costs to keep employees rather than firing them
b-but I thought skg was all about how it didn't cost anything extra to host servers forever?????????

>>716218313
But it wasn't?

What is this about? I have no idea what splitgate is

love it when hardcore gamers give wrong feedback and don't play the things they're asking. Arena shooters are fucking dead no matter how hard these retards larp it to be in demand

>>716218582
all I know is that guy came in "make fps great again" cap and announced battle royale game with imagine dragons music in trailer

>>716218848
That felt like a shitpost orchestrated by /v/

>>716217986
when i said i wouldn't buy games that made politics their main selling point over making a good game i meant it

I've literally never even heard of splitgate. Never mind the sequel.

>>716219432

>>716217685 (OP)
This is why you need at least 1 PR advisor when you're doing public facing stunts

>>716218283
Nobody cares about that slogan or the hats anymore bro everybody online--left and right--has at one point used a variation of it.

>>716218848
OH THE MISERY

There was nothing wrong with Splitgate 1, and why wouldn't your "FPS great again" game have locally hosted servers that can't be shutdown?

>>716219432
>this color scheme
>these haircuts
>these outfits
what is this "style" called? concorde, lawbreaker and hyenas also looked exactly like this

>>716220104
corporate inbreeding
marketing research tells them this will get them the biggest possible demographic because fortnite did it, but they lack the spark to make it work

>>716220104
the "we want the 'modern audience'" style

terminally online mentally ill lefties lost their mind over a joke and decided this mans life needed to be ruined

>>716220379 this seems like everything wrong with fps genre condensed into one studio, who even gives a fuck about the hat.

it's like corporate memphis, but for games

The PR advisor would be just some twitterfag telling you to shout trans rights on stage

He should’ve worn a hat that said “I’m With FPS” to make people really mad.

>>716220379
Why didn't chuds buy his game? Aren't they the actual video game buyers?

> shutting down servers to keep people employed
Servers cost barely anything. I can host a server on my personal PC if they want to.

>>716217986
Yeah but did you see the piece of shit they put out? No, I'm sure it's all about the stupid, nonsensical hat.

>>716219432
I will now buy your game, accept my concession.

>>716221148
How many big titty black women did his game have? Right wingers only care about that.

>>716220878
Should've been a single player shooter about anthro hyenas in dystopian setting

That entire presentation was so lame, between the memehat and name-dropping older games, only to show an unremarkable modern shooter and with an Imagine Dragons song, it was doomed from the beginning

>>716220104
In the future, that style will be call the '20s

>REMOVE THE ARENA MODE THAT MADE IT POPULAR TO BEGIN WITH
I know this meme is used a lot but what in the actual fuck where they thinking?

This may geniunely be the most retarded fumble I've ever seen some dev's pull. They were succeeding then bafflingly did ever wrong move possible while making fun of said wrong moves.

>>716221898
I don't know, their guy seems like a trend-chasing dipshit.

>>716217685 (OP)
That was maybe part of it but I think the main problem is that Splitgate 2 is dogshit especially compared to Splitgate 1 which was great and I'm still mad they killed it to try and make it e-sports friendly with the sequel

>>716221898
>let's kill a good game so goys don't wake up
probably this

>Marketed consumers you pandered to will now not buy your game because you lied and is nothing like the promised product
>Has successfully put off all possible markets
This goes beyond trend chasing. It even goes beyond ineptitude.

Man is either activily conspiring against his own company or has a geniune mental disability.

>>716218313
skg is about allowing users to download a game and run servers or a LAN connection themselves like how every single game already worked for decades before live service garbage became the norm, it's not about forcing game companies to provide servers forever, it's about not being anti-consumer and preventing people from using shit they paid for

>>716222267
>liberal has a mental disability
Shocking.

>>716222267
One push up for every spelling mistake.

>>716218313
If you spend that much money maintaining a server that it'll keep multiple people employed then you're doing something wrong, otherwise you're doing what exactly most people supporting SKG have been saying and forcing people to your new product for new revenue streams

>>716222362
>I need to make it political so they don't fire me from my troll sweatshop
Looking forward to your drone video debut, Alenka.

I wonder how much of what we see today is meant to appeal to the Chinese market. Trying to appeal to wildly different cultures simultaneously might explain a bit the flavorless slurry that is modern games.

>>716220104
It's the 2020 equivalent of brown and bloom gritty realism being everywhere (to the point even shit like Zelda went for a "darker" tone with Twilight Princess with muted colors and bloom out the ass), except now it's every game being overly bright pastel fortnite colors with mandatory purple and bisexual lightning everywhere.

Brown and bloom was overdone but this current slop is even worse on the eyes and there hasn't even been any actually good games making use of the palette to justify its overuse, back in 2008 everyone wanted to be Modern Warfare or Shadow of the Colossus, nowadays these fuckers are releasing shit like Suicide Squad because they wanna be fucking Fortnite

>>716222508
Bot broke?

>>716220967
Fuck off

>>716222527
Basically none of it lol, if you've ever played any chink games or games that are popular in China you'd know that if developers were trying to appeal to the Chinese market, every game would have mandatory 10/10 attractive blonde women with blue eyes and big tits and would be selling wedding dress skins and slutty Chinese dresses for lunar new year. Chinks fucking hate ugly women even more than the West does and fatties are only tolerated as comic relief butt of the joke or nonthreatening sidekick.

They're not adding garish purple paint and ugly concord/hyenas/suicide squad kill the justice league/rage 2 characters to try and appeal to chinks, terminally online developers are sabotaging their games to pander to themselves even at the expense of what audiences want

>>716220878
nailed it

>>716217986
I didn't feel anything political from the hat. I took it at face value as well as his speech. Then the game comes out and it's just like every other garbage fps out right now.

>>716222527
m8 they're not even trying to appeal to the american market

>>716222604
But Fortnite has a way more varied palette and it's way more stylized than that

>>716222527
The Chinese market likes attractive and sexy characters. Nothing Western developers do is for the Chinese market.

>>716217685 (OP)
why didn’t the anti-woke audience show up

>>716219432
>>716223750

>>716223626
Shadow of the Colossus is also a nice looking game where the dark palette and bloom don't look out of place and fit the art style, that doesn't mean there weren't tons and tons and tons of brown and bloom games that didn't do it as a cheap trend chasing ploy

>>716223750
uhh where's the cute Asian girls? wanna see the antiwoke crowd? wait a few hours https://steamdb.info/app/2277560/charts/

These designs feel like futuristic fortnite.

>>716217685 (OP)
It failed because it's a shit game, not because some guy wore a silly hat

This did not look or feel like a late 00s shooter like he implied it was and thus it was always doomed

>that stunt
You're right, no one gives a fuck about the MAGA shit these disingenuous fagoducios let politics eat the bullet for their shitty handling of SG1 and now they're finally putting that dog down. Good riddance and fuck you, I hope SHARTGATE 2 flops harder. Not buying it.

it doesn't matter what he said, or could've said, the simple truth is that there's no fucking place for yet another multiplayer shooter in this space. these people seriously need to get it in their heads that the amount of media on the market is only piling up more and more and more day by day and there's no stopping it, and maximum saturation has already been reached in these genres. unless you're a niemie magnet like battlefield or cod, your fps is going to die.

>>716217685 (OP)
whole game just looks like this.

Reminder that these fags replaced their inventive halo+portal FPS with battle royale schlock and expect you to fund their hookers and blow party. Make america great again and get a job in the trades you blowhard coderbros.
