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
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
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.
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.
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.
