Since jews buyed those companies.

At some point, somebody sought to make an "honest" profit by creating merchandise that was actually desirable to buy.

That point may have been in the mid '80s but it definitely existed.

I'd say the seventh console generation. That's when everything got really consolidated and gaming became AAA and indie with nothing in between.

When the customers were largely big children who stir trouble and cause shit for the people trying to make/sell expensive toys.

Oh Wait

When they started hiring SJWs
>>
>>339555995
I was no longer a kid in the 5th generation and the 7th generation was the one that introduced the PC cancer that is day one patches, DLC and paid online to consoles.
>>
>>339554838
this is true
>>
>>339555995
It's undeniable that there are far fewer AA games than there used to be, and that most current games fall into one extreme or the other.

But there were alternatives in the PS2 and Gamecube. Now there's no escaping it.

What is she holding?

At the first convention where they actually met their customers

>>339556679
But really tho DLC are such a lame ass money grab. Beat Witcher 3. Oh wait, wanna pay 50 more bucks to complete the game? JUST SEND OUT THE COMPLETE GAME OR MAKE A NEW ONE!

Because you aren't their target audience anymore, the progressive audience is, the one that wants movies and games so easy you can beat them by literally not playing them.

Less effort=less costs.

>unemployed assholes on a cantonese scrimshaw message board claim you hate your customers

If people hated the things game companies did enough to actually stop buying their products, companies would stop doing those things. Bitching and moaning on 4chins won't stop them unless you also stop buying the products anyway.

They didn't in 1983
>>
>>339553160
the moment AA studios disappeared
>>
>>339558459
And people stopped buying the shit videogames and all the companies fell apart. Just not buying shit games is literally the final solution. If a game is shit, don't buy it. If everyone else doesn't buy it, the company goes tits up. If everyone else buys it, they keep making it, but you avoid the shit game.

If a game is shit, don't buy it.
>>
>>339558778
That would work if people let word of mouth do it's thing, but people won't let someone tell them a game is shit today. They'll say they have to play it themselves
