I’ll never understand how g*mers aren’t radical anti-capitalists
Suggesting that they wait 48 hours to confirm that a game is actually similar to what was advertised is literally inconceivable to them.
They keep giving game companies tens of millions of dollars to release an unfinished product. And then they do it again. And then they do it 5 more times. And then they genuinely wonder why video game companies release unfinished games.
Also true, gamers are hogs for that slop. Pre orders should have died the second digital distribution became a thing, but gamerhogs need their slop and they need it now
“How are they going to make it as the next PewDipShit if they don’t stream one hour earlier than the other million of dipshits, just like other thousands of hogs who also payed that extra”
They have treatlord responses because gaming is their identity and getting excited about the new (rehashed) thing is all they have.
I agree, but you’d think that would make them want good games ffs. Gamers are just so incredibly brain broken, I really have a hard time wrapping my head around that mindset. The video game industry is just such a clear example of how the quest to squeeze every cent of profit out of a product inevitably makes it shittier for (almost) everyone involved. From the consoomer side of things (micro transactions, buggy games shoved out the door, games getting more expensive when distribution has only gotten cheaper) to the actual workers producing the damn things (crunch time, low pay, being forced to meet impossible deadlines) it only has gotten worse, with the profits going to a handful of fat cats. And these dumbass fucking moronic gamers clap like seals for CoD 2K23 and blame “the woke left” for making games worse by gasp including characters that aren’t a white guy!?
Sorry about the rant but goddamn how can those people be so fucking dense!?
My guess is they’re just not burned out yet. The industry isn’t 100% soulless microtransactions yet, there’s still good stuff to find every year. Eventually that will get rarer and rarer.
Unfortunately like your mention the gamer demo is heavily propagandized by reactionaries so their response will probably be to blame the gays or something.
They’re designed for the bottom of the barrel. It’s why shit like FIFA and 2K and CoD and iPhones can be released every year and make billions. They don’t care because they have money, and they want the new shiny, and they don’t want to be ostracized for not having the shiny.
you can’t download a car
G*mes are supposed to be escapism
forever glad that the last gran turismo i gave a fuck about was 2
You didn’t even play the best one. Silence.

A game that exists to provide escapism to people and give them a chance to pretend they’re driving their dream car that reality could never provide, locks out said dream cars. neat.
I do want to get back into track racing games but the options are either full sim or full arcade. Idk when the last real forza came out and I rather play on PC. I love letting my eyes lose focus and follow the track.
Shinji get in the damn limited edition overpriced microtransaction digital car
I really enjoy BeamNG, it’s a sandbox where you can just drive around. Or crash into stuff.
Not really a racing game tho.
Edit: ETS2 also scratches that driving while zoning out itch.
I bought BeamNG almost a decade ago I think. Its a lot of fun but i find it a bit aimless. I more or less want to learn a course and car and fine tune my reaction and anticipation of the course.
I should give it another try, i’m sure there’s been a lot of updates.
