>908 million "PC players are heavily skewed towards older, live service games." The data shows that from January 2024 to December 2024, 67% of player hours on PC were spent on a game that was six or more years old

Why aren't gamers just investing and consuming modern media?

why do pctroons refuse to purchase video games?
if you want your game to sell you need to publish it on nintendo and sony consoles because those are the only wealthy fanbases that actually purchase their games instead of pirating them

Because modern games arent that good. But you already knew that, you just wanted to make this thread about junkfood.

You must understand that junkfood is bad for you, OP. Fruits and veggies and a well-balanced diet of around 2500 kcal a day is optimal for your health.

>Poors playing CSGO/DOTA make up the overwhelming majority of the PC user base
>10-20 year old games aren't modern

PC doesn't get exclusives anymore so this makes sense.

>>717937882 (OP)
Live service gaming causes risk aversion. Players are unwilling to invest time and money on newer games that will probably shut down in 6 months.

>Why won't these pesky gamers play our modern slop? This isn't fair!

because with pc you have the power of choice.
you can play new games, and you can play old games alike.

No?

Maybe they should start making games that cater to me then?
I don't HVAE to buy new slop just because it's new.

PC hasn't had a game in decades though

give me one good reason why that patty is as thin as a wafer

>>717939372
People keep buying it.

>>717938861
Yes, actually.

Bro even the voice acting went downhill
I was playing new vegas old world blues and the voice actors sound like characters and in modern audience games the voice actors sound like voice actors

>>717938671
no no >>717938671 has a point about fruit. From what I heard we humans have selectively bred fruits to be so sweet they are considered unhealthy now as the ratio of sugar to fiber is too high to consider healthy anymore. At this point you are better off cutting on fruit and focusing on vegetables as they were bred mostly to be bigger, not sweeter.

>>717939372
Let me guess, you "need" more?

>>717938158
>Wealthy
Nice try lmao
Some nigger in 40k of debt because he buys AAAslop at release on credit isn't wealthy. You make/keep wealth by buying 5 year old games for 90% off

>>717939765
The veggies are also fucked, they're basically just an okay source of fiber with little value because the genetic modification for bigness means they're less dense with nutrients.
Buy locally grown or don't bother

>Why aren't gamers just investing and consuming modern media?
why? so they can get money to support the current mental illness? fuck that, we have thousands of older games that are more entertaining than anything that comes out this year

>>717938230
kinda sucks when you see this beaver awkwardly hauling shit like this. they are supposed to be in swimming in water, thats how they move heavy logs and sticks.

this poor beaver's feet are about to split under him

I can just turn my head slightly and see my other gaming hardware. Why even lie about this?

I bought MCdonald's the other day afterv a long time and was surprised by how the patties are now paper thin but everything is more expensive, and not to mention they taste like shit. Like you're eating cardboard box. Then I went to Wendy's and while the quality is much better but holy fuck the prices are high as fuck. $8 just for a Baconator. $8 bro. Not even in a combo.
Fast food has gotten stupid expensive. It seem I'm gonna be eating white rice and fried eggs for the next few years thanks to Trump and his retardation.

>>717937882 (OP)
>PC players are heavily skewed towards older, live service games
Sunk cost. You're not gonna drop a game you've invested substantial time in to play a game that is just like it, but newer. Live service isn't a deep market, it's very, very easy to saturate. Developers that didn't get on the bandwagon years ago are shit outta luck short of a miracle viral trend.

>>717940945
Don't forget the Spam and beans
Get some tomato paste and make some nice chilli too

>>717940945
Corporate strategy in an economy that is slowing down due to increasing inflation trends to cranking up the prices while cutting costs. This cannot continue, it won't last much longer. You feel it, don't you? We're holding our breath, standing on the brink.

Who could have guessed that people would stick with the thing they enjoiy and already invested a shit ton of hours in?
Seriously did these idiots think that people would magically play 5-6 live service games at the same time? Did they expect people to just drop all that time and effort spend on game A when they released game B a year later?

>>717940587
Don't know, why are you lying about it?

It's the same everywhere broski. If I want a McDicks menu+1 extra borgar it's close to 20€.

>>717938158
PC gaming is the land of 1000 hours long timesinks.

>>717937882 (OP)
It's quite simple for me. No one has made a successor to Team Fortress 2 yet, so I just keep playing my 18 year old FPS instead of getting into other live service FPS games long term.

>>717941849
why does anyone bother going to mcdonalds when you can go to in n out and get a better quality burger for half the price

>>717937882 (OP)
It's third worlders who can't afford a decent rig to actually play modern slop. Most of the world is living in the third world, anon. We're very lucky to be first worlders.

Why can’t you faggots ever say vegetable? are you intentionally trying to make your diet sound effeminate?

>>717937882 (OP)
why would I buy shitty and overpriced new games when I can keep playing Factorio, Fallout: New Vegas, or Stardew Valley for free

>>717938512
Live service games cause live-service-game aversion, as they’re designed to be treadmills not games.

>>717940945
I just go to local slop places now. Same price for 3x the meat

>>717940036
That’s not genetic modification that’s just selective breeding, as the phenomenon is older than genetic modification tech, it’s from big farming in general. They want fast growing large produce that doesn’t requires minimal fertilizer.

>>717937882 (OP)
They’re framing this as modern audiences don’t like modern games but it’s actually third worlders have shit computers

Not sure where you live, but in Austria one of the premium McD burgers plus a side burger/nuggets is 10-15€.
On the cheaper end if you take of their staples like a Royal TS or Royal with cheese.

>>717940945
>Fast food has gotten stupid expensive.
Good morning. The trend was ongoing for a while but they let it loose during the cough and normies ate it all up. Figuratively and literally as well. You can thank their retardation for enabling corporate greed. Why would they lower their prices now that retards paid premium for the same shit, and now they're continuing to do so for less?

>>717938459
Technically speaking PC must have by far the most exclusives, as certain genres (e.g. simulators, management games, city builders etc.) don't or barely exist elsewhere. You might have a supposed flagship title or two that went multi-platform but even if there are 10 worthwhile games per genre out there that means you're seriously missing out by "only" having a console. As for not really getting AAA exclusives anymore that's just the nature of the business at every platform nowadays.

>>717941984
Why are you so fucking retarded that you ask a euro why he doesn't got to some chain that is only in North America?
Fucking fat fuck.

Fruit is pretty bad for you. It'll make you fat quick. Give you diabetes. Can ruin your pancreas to the point of death. Body builders, natty or juiced, never eat Fruit. It's unhealthy.

why are they called big macs anyway
they're pretty small compared to most burgers

That is cheap as shit. That would be like $18 in America.
I cannot believe we are at the point where I unironically think Austria is cheap, but compared to us it is. So tired of getting jewed everywhere I go in this god forsaken hellhole.

Souls better on KBM actually

How the fuck did I blow through all my SNAP benefits this month already? My pantry is empty and I didn't even buy any junk food. Even when I'm getting food money for free I'm not paying $6 for a bag of doritos, that's insane.

I always feel like these studio heads and company execs don't have common sense, like yeah fucking duh, the whole point of a live service is to keep someone playing and to spend money, why would they move on to a newer product to start over and spend even more money, leaving the game where they already have invested time and money into in the form of cosmetics and battle passes behind. It doesn't make sense. It's like these publishers thing there is a infinite well of people who play these games, shit out enough ones and the well runs dries and people will stay with the ones they like the most or have the most money spent in.
So it literally doesn't make sense why they keep shitting live services out of their asses, because they too with all the billions they have and think tanks, and I assume people of reasonable intellect if not the people in charge, then at least the ones they pay for have the common sense to have seen this from miles away.
But no, tune in nest week for four more live service game announcements

On the same online game they suck at while the other games bought from steam sales/pirated gathers dust

How to say Fortnite without actually mentioning Fortnite. It's the same shit on PS5 and Xbox

>>717938158
Pc gods are way resistent to the sloppa. More variety, old and new games. You can only consume the last propaganda slop. Go help some blm members to do graffiti in new york. I'll be playing real games.

>>717937882 (OP)

Because modern gaming is a joke.
