What the fuck happened? Was it the normalfag invasion or the transition to digital that killed vidya cons?

Sounds like a you problem to be honest.
The games you wanted to see represented are also turbo-normalfag shit.
You can't just say "ugh, normalfags" about everything you don't like.

Unless it's some niche and precisely stated convention like Shmup or Firefly/Serenity, you won't find anything good there. It's all too commercialized and corporate now.
Art convention? Just a big ads for Wacoom, chink brands tablets, Adobe CuCked, etc.

haha yea remember e3 no of course you dont nobody does glory to the CCP

>>716495726 (OP)
cons are just places for normalfag whores to take pictures for their social medias and onlyfans, along with corpo slop booths

Theres differences between having a normal taste and a normalfag taste.
>normal taste
>just popular games
>normalfag taste
>braindead shit designed for normalfags and usually just plays itself

Gachas are the final form of videogames and will replace and infect every one of your favorite genres as well. They are the perfect genre to appeal to lonely autistic addiction-prone men, prime prey for hyper capitalist corporations that now rule the industry. Gachas are going to completely take over the hobby. I imagine by 2050 70% or more of mainstream western games will be considered gacha. Stop playing new games and embrace retro gaming and emulation if you want to escape it
