Did your gen really straight up stop buying games?

>>717996243 (OP)
I call this the generational media apocalypse. No one has any solutions to it and it likely means a mass extinction of "legacy media", and the supremacy of like 5 tech companies.

Millie Bobbie Brown is the Queen of this. She outright says she doesn't have the attention span to watch films she has starred in. If she rubbed her two brain cells together, she'd see that if SHE can't do it, none of her own generation could either, meaning her entire business model is set for failure.

AAA games, most just play F2P with gacha and cash shop these days.

uhh /v/? i thought zoomies are consumerist retards?

>>717996243 (OP)
Wouldn't be surprised. Phones, excessive amount of f2p games with mtx up the ass, GaaS, social media, whatever. All that stuff is competing against b2p games.

I know a few Gen-Zers in their early 20s because of my job and I can tell you they're simply not buying western games, they just juggle half a dozen F2P gacha game dailies for pull currency and sometimes as a treat they buy a month-long subscription for their main gacha game (usually genshin impact and/or honkai starrail).

>>717996243 (OP)
Vidya industry played itself. They're all playing the same handful of F2P/GaaS games for eternity.

This is the same shit Millennials had to do with but instead of being lib flavored it's chud flavored. Also like millennials the politics have been overly emphasized by neurotics.
The thing where people said that zoomers weren't drinking anymore? Same shit happened with Millennials. We are more alike than different young chuds.

To be fair I wouldn't have the patience to make through all of the Electric State or Enola Homes either.

>>717996806
They still are.
It's just gacha and passes instead of yearly releases.

Zoomer here (1998) I pirate so much media that I have trouble keeping track of it all. Just because my Gen doesn't buy slop doesn't mean we are ignoring it.

I turned into an adult and buying games became a lesser priority, and fewer games are actually worth buying at launch if at all. Most of the games I play are live service shit like Dota 2 anyway.

I'm zillenial and I don't have as much time for vidya anymore, so I am very picky about what I play when I do have some time.

The video game crash of 1983 (known in Japan as the Atari shock)[1] was a large-scale recession in the video game industry that occurred from 1983 to 1985 in the United States. The crash was attributed to several factors, including market saturation in the number of video game consoles and available games, many of which were of poor quality.

I think at least half of this is on the companies.
Nobody buys albums because nothing comes with disc drives. I have one, but that's because I'm an autist who hates mp3s and would rather rip my own flacs. Same for movies, staying in is easier than going out. For physical, most people only ever watch movie once or twice, it's not worth buying a movie over just streaming. Let alone buying a bluray player.

You can't make things excessively easy to access and then blame them for using the easy way.

playing and finishing a lot of single player games back-to-back-to-back is seen as weird behaviour by core genZ from my experience as an elder zoomer. core genZ usually choose one popular multiplayer game and then play it forever with their friends. for them these games act as a de-facto third space and facilitates most of their socialisation.

Those core Gen z you speak of are probably the actual weird ones. They’re apart of the loneliest generation in at least modern history, and are playing multiplayer games that probably incentivizes spending money when much of said generation’s wallets are empty or full of debt.

Who the fuck is watching this drivel? It can and will get much worse. Gamers like to pretend like they're the most powerful race in the world but actually they have a serious shit eating problem. If gen Z won't pay up it doesn't even matter, the industry will move on without them and follow the easy money.

They literally don't care about you. They just want your fat weeb next door neighbor to pay $100+ for this month's coomer skin, he'll gladly pay for your lack of participation five times over.

Why would I buy games when all the good games were made 20 years ago and I can emulate them just fine?

The companies spend 8 years on the safest possible bet in generating game content, and by then some of the kids grew up and left. You need to push out a game every holiday or the audience just leaves gaming and starts goonin. I don’t know what they do.

"Can you beat [video game] with [self imposed challenge]?" and minecraft videos

>herd everyone into live service games that are designed to get you to play nothing but one game forever
>wtf why did people still buying games???

I dont think its a generational thing, might just be the times we are in. In highschool which was like 14 years ago at this point, I would buy 5-6 new releases every year. Nowadays I buy 1 max, usually 0. I just play CS, Trackmania, Isaac, etc. games that you can just sync hours into with good replayability. I think God Of War (2018) (really it was The Last of Us, but GoW following up sealed it) really shifted the tides of single player games to constantly try to be the video game equivalent of oscar bait.

Fortnite also changed multiplayer games forever. I don't enjoy it, but I actually think it might have done more good than bad. A lot of multiplayer games now are free and drop free content, vs. previously you had to buy a full priced game, a season pass for content, AND still mtx (albeit cheaper) for cosmetics.

in defense of whoever the fuck is that
some people dont like to watch the movies they work in

This is just AAA companies bitching because they know it's over, normalfags have finally moved on from video games and everything is condensing. indies are rightfully taking back their spot and the damage Sony and Microsoft did to gaming is finally going away. This is why AAA companies are so scared and why Microsoft and Sony are going third party. Going to tell you a little secret. Sony help AMD make RDNA 5 and FSR4 so next gen consoles are using Sony's chip which shows signs that Sony is leaving the hardware business. The PS6 not being stronger than the PS5 Pro is also a sign. The next Xbox is going to be a reference device only sold on the Microsoft Store with little marketing, a high price, and sold in less regions because Microsoft is moving towards increments over generational leaps and this will be the last Xbox they make themselves. starting next gen, Microsoft will now have third party companies make Xbox PCs that are either prebuilts or handhelds all expensive and will use the chip that's in the next gen Xbox home console. Basically, it's over for 6th gen era consoles barring Nintendo and PC which will fully take over the video game industry once it condenses while Sony and Microsoft go full third party and will be forced to spend less.

>people are too fucking stupid and need someone to slap them if they're about to fry their brains.

People in general have always needed direction and a structured environment. This was why it took so long to abolish slavery in the Western world from the death of Christ in 33AD. During those times, 30-40% of different nations were enslaved and free people thought they were too stupid to make the right decisions in life. Slavery in the Christendom was replaced with the more dignified serfdom and for those who weren't locked to a land, they still had Monasteries to live in.

Point is we always had to restrict and control people's behaviors and not let people do whatever they wanted with total freedom. There were always confines. And we're feeling the consequences with unrestricted digital freedom with the fried attention span that people haven't figured out is a major problem, let alone how to fix it.

so yeah, we need the government to some nannying if we're not letting religion do the nannying.

We can always replay the hundreds of games in our collections/digital libraries. Everyone has a shit load of games at this point. I was saying this years ago that it’s going to be harder and harder for new media to compete with older time-tested media that’s cheaper and more accessible. And thanks to the internet almost everything of value remains accessible.

Zoomers are a failed generation.
They should be removed and culled. Lets hope the alpha gen is less retarded.

>>718013354
but enough about gen x and shitlennials

gen z watch singleplayer games be beaten on twitch instead of buying them

Is it just me or is zoomer derangement syndrome genuinely becoming a thing here? People act like zoomers
are the way they are because of themselves and not because their parents were terrible at parenting.

Millenials will do the same shit. They do not learn, their lives are just as bad if not worse, and they are getting old. Its so stupid.

>>718013073
These guys mention books all the time. It's helpful to know where to look if you want to pick up a book on specific subjects. Also they showcase cool weapons that I wasn't aware of and give sources on what to buy. It's fun and gets you involved in the subject without being too invested and wasting time needed for furthering your own hobbies and careers.
They're a mere inspiration and zoomies can't handle that.

Cope.
Millennials are the first ones to "learn" by doing carlife to go off-grid and built tinyhomes and go green.
They're also the dominant age group on YouTube raking in money from online content rather than wage slave for slop
All zoomers do is doompost and try to pull millennials back into the bucket.
They hate everything and have no hobbies or desires other than to bitch and moan. Even millennial f*moids are a cut above their ilk.

It feels like the normie basic retard is in higher percentages in the zoom zooms.

If you know any GenZers, they are perfectly content to get all their entertainment from tiktok for free and spend every last penny on rent and uber jeets.

There are no fucking AA or AAA games to buy.

In the 7th gen there was extremely busy holiday season every year, now there's just Call of Duty, sports, Skyrim/GTA re-release every year and like 1 overrated good game every 2-3 years.

I'm a zoomer and I watched the entirety of Sopranos earlier in this year, and played Dragon Age Origins and the Max Payne triology as well.

The point is that zoomers aren't the issue, new games, TV shows and movies just fucking suck.

can you blame them? TV became unwatchable in the 2000's with the massive ads spam + time restrictions.
Most movies are the same rehashed script but with different actors.
Most games are overpriced, 60$ for some of the most dogshit you have ever seen and now they try to push it to 80$. Cod is the same trash copy-pasted that gets sold at 60$ (+70 now) and people gobble it, same with fifa, nba,....
And you try to tell them to consooom while blaming them and not the stagnation in the entire entertainment industry.

But what happens if most of that generation is already used to this? The same thing that happens to those who got used to loot boxes, battle passes, and before that, dlcs, and before that, paid online access, and throughout it all, digital downloads
The same thing happens with music and movies; with streaming services, people get used to it. So, what problem will arise if that generation gets used to only consuming without having the physical product present or giving it physical attention, like going to the movies?
We from previous generations will die, and the new generation, already accustomed to this, will remain here. So, what are the real problems this would cause if everyone is already accustomed to the current reality?

you see.... boomers lied to all younger generation that we must go to college and all that
Boomers profited greatly from it while all younger generation came out of college with massive debts and no jobs

While most of us were in school.... they took that oppertunity to buy up as much land as they can so they can jack up the rent prices and force us to pay the jacked up rent prices if we want anywhere to live.

Boomers screwed over every younger generation forever. Most of those assholes are still in office passing laws that only benefit them instead of other generations.

I don't blame gen z if they ain't buying games. Even older generations can't afford that shit these days.

>So, what are the real problems this would cause if everyone is already accustomed to the current reality?

Things will change when boomers finally die off. Then real change can finally happen. Most boomers don't even understand how their remote controler works. Boomers are the cause of some of the most bullshit lawsuits in the world because of how clueless they fucking are with techology.

Take the UK lawsuit against Microsoft for including their own browser with their OS. They claim microsoft was running a monopoly but they never consider the fact that you can still download any browser you want and aren't forced to use Microsoft Edge.
Lastly, 99% of the population will not know how to download another browser without first using Microsoft Edge to go to another browser website. You'd have to somehow run shit in CMD and find the right commands. Anyone who knows at least a little bit of tech will understand it's a absurb lawsuit. But boomers won't because they're tech illerate. They just blindly believe lying lobbyists.

>>718001998

Zoomies were also thought to become the most technologically adept and progressive generation of all time. Turns out they got completely fucked up on all fronts and their reward is boomers yelling at them in disappointment to just work harder. One thing it seems the boomers did not expect is that their upbringing made them so jaded, just opting out of the rat race altogether is seen as a legitimate alternative.

Well, even back then it had that aspect. My kid self often played those challenge run games - ones that gave you items in the end of the run so you could grief other trying to reach the finish. Simpsons one, and maybe some based on Wipeout come to my mind.
But there was other shit I barely remember now - like taking spaceship to Moon (or was it Mars) base and so on.

boomers is why UK is a shithole these days.

They got so scared to being labeled racist that they let gooming gangs run free. Say anything at all about the government or muslims and they will send the UK gestapo after you to jail you. Meanwhile they claim there is freedom of speech. Load of bullshit.

I'm not even gonna fucking sugarcoat this.... the UK is so corrupted that when someone else besides the ruling party wins, they jail them. Look at France's Marine Le Pen. It's straight up bullshit. They know she clean so they make shit up to lock her up. Corruption at it's finest. I'm saying this for all the french folks. They thinking the same shit but know they can't say it without the UK gestapo going after them to jail them.

>>718018929
>voting
Oh cmon. It's not like there's actual democracy in the west. All you've got is literally 2 """candidates""" to vote for and both sides are equally corrupt and don't represent your interests.

These kind of threads don't make any sense to me. What are you expecting to accomplish, like Gen Z isn't going out for your movies, games, events, etc cause everything is shit quality wise. They have no experience, and/or drive, to make things they would like so you're basically asking them to spend their money and limited time on shit you like because ??? Genuinely how disconnected from reality do you have to be to not see this.

Expedition 33 can make a full 50 dollar game that surpasses all AAA bullshit in the past 10 years. And they did it with way less budget than AAA studios. With just 30 devs.

There's no fucking reason why any other game company has to price $80 games for slop that's nowhere as good as Expedition 33. Power to the zoomers for not buying into the garbage AAA slop these days.

I think the shame tactics will never work, Gen Zs 'social' interactions come from small discord groups of like minded people. Much like how small towns used to be, they couldn't give two shits what people outside that group think about them. I guess it would be easier to say they hardly care about how theyre perceived so throwing fits about how they don't watch sports does nothing.

I mean I'm a millennial but growing up I pretty much never had money to afford a new game on release, I always bought used or waited a few years for the game to be $20.

Can't imagine kids now being able to afford $70 to $80 games, it's just impossible. You also can't really buy used games anymore because GameStop made them cost almost the same price as MSRP plus now you need codes and shit otherwise you can't play online or get locked out of other features.

A couple factors at play here:
1. Gen Z is a bunch of broke niggers. The reality of it is that they can’t afford to purchase games, even if they wanted to.
2. There has been a huge decline in game quality from AAA studios. Even when a good game does come out, the overall reputation has been tarnished so badly that no one cares or trusts them.
3. There are a million different “free” to play games that you can sink hundreds of hours into.
4. They genuinely don’t have the attention span to engage with video games in the way that we did. Spending half your life in a mode of perpetually scrolling destroys your ability to concentrate on something over a long period of time. Playing an RPG or adventure game that requires some patience isn’t that appealing when you can play a f2p game that is intentionally designed to be addictive and give you dopamine hits every 30 seconds.

Playing competitive skinnerbox multiplayer games like Dota 2 makes you a manchild, not an adult.
