Why are games developers so out of touch with their fans?

Why are games developers so out of touch with their fans?
>>

That smile
>>
Pete Hines is a fucking cuck
>>
They're not gamers, they're suits.
>>
>>330552507
Seems just right for fallout fans though
>>
>>330552507
FO4 sold, it sold well even
got good reviews

I'd say they're very much in touch with their fans, they simply shifted the series away from YOU

He looks like that alien from Men in Black that wears the skin of that redneck.
>>
I remember watching that stream with Pete Hines playing through The Last Within, he died like 5 times to the same enemy on chapter 2. I'm sure he doesn't like games, it's basically a job for him, nothing more.
>>
He's not wrong. Some of the dialogue in New Vegas is mind numbing.

>muh bear
>muh bull
>muh autism
>>
>>330553278
He looks like some wacky cartoon character from the 90s
>>
>>330553394
The lack of any actual writing lets the player fill in the gaps.
>Its called role playing.
>>
>>330552507

he's not a developer, he's a vice president
>>
>>330552507
>pandering to people with ADHD
thank god im not their customer. this guy wouldve fucked mass effect series so bad.
>lol dialogue boooriiing i wanna kill shit
fucking dudebro
>>
I don't understand how someone with this mentality gets put in an important position for a series that has always heavily used dialogue.

I can accept that this mentality exists. Not everyone wants to deal with dialogue.

But then why are you working on Fallout?
>>
>>330552507
I went back and played Fallout 3 recently and the dialogue was just as shitty as 4.
>>
>>330553257
>fallout fans
I think you mean Fallout 3/Bethesda game fans. There's a big a difference.

This pretty much. They obviously don't give a shit about fallout or it's integrity. Or fucking RPG's even.
Just make the silly shooters you obviously want to make. I wouldn't even care if it's fallout themed. Just stop pretending it's an RPG.
>>
>>330553689
I don't get it, are you being ironic? Mass effect was still fucked
>>
>>330553702

Fallout is casual shit now m8. Expect the next game to have even less story
>>
>>330552507
but he's right, look at all the children that hate pillars of eternity because they cant read
>>
>>330552507
>out of touch with their fans
>one of the best selling games of the year
>>
All of them.

All of them are out of touch.

This. The Fallout fanbase is now kids and normies and if this is news you're the one who's out of touch.
>>
>>330552507
because selling to normalfag casuals makes a shit ton more profit than selling to fans

What did he mean by this?

>>330554108
Just to name a few to prove you wrong and eduacate you: Wreden, Blow and Prohorov.
Look past the AAA suits that safebet everything and are out for money.

>make sequel that sells well despite it being notably shittier than its predecessors, but sells well on name alone
>refuse to listen to longer fans' input, and instead listen to the drones who'd give you a thumbs up if you fisted them raw
>stop making the games for the people who liked them, and make them based on how people generally like other things
This is an awful path we're on, isn't it? Technically, these won't be the same games in the future. Now I know how F1/2 fans feel, but at least 3 and 4 were solid outside the story.
