You have the opportunity to go back in time and stop an event or game from ruining the industry.
What would you do?

stop Microsoft from ever entering the industry by killing the original Xbox and Game for Windows teams

Nothing you could do would save the industry, i would go back in time and purchase bitcoins

I'd go back in time to stop the creation of rollslop genre.

Microsoft's entry into the console war did more damage to video games than anything else.

How do you ensure the BTC remains in the account for over 20 years? Assume you can actually go back in time and buy like 1000 BTC. I’ve heard of men who forgot the password to 300 BTC storage sticks. You can’t make the password easy because eventually somebody’s going to try and steal your coins between 2005 and 2025.

Kill off Bethesda before they release Skyrim. Skyrim was the big turning point that made videogames turn truly mainstream and as a result damaged the industry irreparably.

Anyone who isn’t saying “buy BTC” or “get lottery tickets” are fooling themselves. The state of the world is due to Western de-industrialization and the cabal of banking tribes that pushed for fiat currency. There’s no single dramatic event that can be altered. If you wanted to get classy, I’d stop Lincoln’s assassination so he can make sure the slaves get sent back to Africa.

If you’re rich enough, the brown nightmare we’re in can’t touch you.

>>717584790
Yeah right, skyrim was the first game to break into the mainstream... are you for real?

It has to be Microsoft getting into gaming. They did so much damage with every generation.

This has to be the biggest pile of shit "Classic" I have ever seen. Even Johnny mnemonic shits on this.
Nothing but pew pew, running and driving. The most aggressively boring movie I have ever seen.
And there's a sound effects guy that forgot to do his job for half the scenes and the worst synthesizer I have ever heard for "music".

I just dropped it halfway through to save my time.

Have the password be a leetspeak version of a news headline you bookmark right before going back in time.

Nuke Shanghai in early 2006.
ZT (Zhengtu) Online was the first vidya with modern loot box mechanics. Without them, or the Chinese vidya industry, we'd be in a better timeline.
It's that or killing Steve Jobs, Tony Fadell, Scott Forstall, and Jony Ive back in 2004.

You prevent that by doing this >>717585123 . Xbox literally only came in because they saw how successful Sony was and was worried about it potentially eating into their PC stuff. Without PS there wouldn't even be an Xbox.

Ensure that gaming remains a niche industry.

Without it being massively popularized, you wouldn't have major shareholders and corporations pulling the strings.

Propagate an extremist group made from a vidya company and do a terrorism. Further scare normies and unwanted actors from getting involved in the game industry, and further instill fear and hatred, thus leading to gaming remaining an obscure hobby for nerds and neckbeards that won't be tainted by extreme avarice.

Also, kill todd howard post morrowind.

They're both great
Terminator 1 was more like a thriller-horror with an unstoppable force hunting Sarah
But plotwise it's retarded and nobody would convince me otherwise. Why didn't Arnie get out of the car after the crash and just walk up to Sarah and shoot/snap her neck and be done?

>Save the Speccy

they're both my favorite sci fi movies but i prefer the first one. i think people overlook it

Nintendo decides to go all in with Sony's disc add-on for their next console, cementing a firm gaming partnership for decades and allowing Squaresoft to dominate to the point where Enix goes bankrupt instead. Xbox flops instantly upon trying to enter the market and the Dreamcast still exists as a strong competitor.

Man it’s crazy how the first Terminator is a 10/10 classic and 2 is literally just actionslop. I didn’t notice when I was fucking 5 but it’s a slap in the face to the original that the sequel is such dogshit.

The gaming industry is doing what the government designed all corporations to do. Bleed every citizen dry for taxes. The only way to prevent this is to kill Lincoln before he destroys the constitutional powers.

>>717585863
I think T2 has more plot inconveniences in that way. Like the fact that John Connor decided to program a Terminator that looks exactly like Arnie makes no sense and raises way more questions than it should. The Terminators are supposed to blend in, so there being multiple Arnold looking Terminators would be a detriment to Skynet, and ultimately it makes Skynet look dumb. The more of these movies get made the more dumb Skynet looks. But in T2 it was tolerable, because it was a great movie.

That movie should've been more about John and Kyle, and less about that cyborg guy. I like Salvation more than most of the other movies after T2 but that's not saying much

Halo.
It's such a piece of shit and ruined FPS in general
>In before the anti Half-Life sperg
Half-Life actually evolved the genre by showing you can have a story in FPS games. Halo just brought us screaming retards on Xbox live and a two weapon limit.

1. Kill Steve Jobs. (earlier)
2. Kill Todd the day he announces the $20 Oblivion Horse Armor DLC. Hopefully other developers pick the message.
3. Bomb Blizzard HQ right after they release Wrath of the Lich King.
4. Buy 1 million bitcoin and use a stern but benevolent hand to guide the industry by rewarding good developers who get dropped by their greedy publishers like the VtMB team, with a new studio and budget.
5. Buy out Harambe's zoo and forbid children from being allowed in the place.
