Are there other hobbyists that literally go out of their way to shoot themselves in the foot every chance they get? It’s legit baffling.
the continued existence of pre-ordering for digital games is a very stark example of just how mindless and stupid gamers are
Nintendo went to court in Europe to prevent people from cancelling digital preorders and :freeze-gamer:s will still lick their boots
One of those things that was “fine” in principle, back when the idea of a finished game as actualy a serious concept and not just a scam.
Capitalists broke one of their own legitimate good ways to ensure smooth launches and smoother capital flow because they are both stupid and too greedy.
Gamers have the same mentality as anti vegans. I remember when I told my coworkers I went veg one said “I’m going to eat twice as much meat to make up for you” and I just said “cool bro you’re going to die really early”
Same thing as when I said I wasn’t going to buy wizard game “dw I bought a copy for a friend just to spite you” like okay dawg stay winnin I guess
I’m going to eat twice as much meat to make up for you
That’s just a misquoted maddox joke from like 2004. Sounds like a cool person :yikes:
LOL Maddox.
His piece on how adventure games committed suicide is a legit internet hall of fame classic. I remember reading the lady’s bio who wrote the puzzle he ridiculed and she wrote her entire Wikipedia bio as a lawyerly defense against that 20 year old column.
Imagine a world where Steve Bannon was beheaded at the age of like 13 or something, video games would probably not be a bigoted bootlicking money siphon.
The average gamer is 35, there’s about a 50/50 chance they’re a woman, and they’re probably playing fairly casual games on their smartphone.
That’s just someone who plays games. Gamer has almost become a more specific identity based around consuming. I’m not calling my grandpa playing solitaire a gamer.
