Why the game community has turned into a such high level of autism?
try not hanging around faggots
it helps.

I wish we could go back.
>>340376060
>esports
I think social media played a key role in the process of degeneration of gamers
Also the LGBT crowd is destroying every series with their "Male watch"

Games were good BECAUSE of the autism you fool. Now it's just commercialized normie garbage. As evidenced in your goddamn picture

I WISH I COULD TURN BACK TIME
>>340376060
But esports have been a thing since quake and starcraft. It's not new.
blame television and advertising
I remember getting triggered at a Destiny trailer during the superbowl
>>340376362
No, it is the weak people that is driving this to shit, the same weak people that never stood still when someone mocked videogames.
I blame you nerds, you could have prevented this, but you and your lack of self confidence allowed this.
>>340376060
That was a pretty fun mini-game in Mario Party 5 there in the top-left.

I'm a oldfag and being a "gamer" nowdays seems to be more about bitching in social media about games, gaming industry, social justic, xenophobia, being transgender(ro some shit) then actually plaing the fucking games.

Sorry for the typos but I'm on a smoke break at work.
>>340381847
I know. It's all sad luckily there are some places where you can actually meet gamers or make a post about "how to do x in game y" and get a response instead of "this game is sooo sexist".
>>340376060
Why are chinks so ugly?
How much money did GTAV make in its first week?

Flatscreen TVs and monitors.

What places? I'm interested.

So then is 2007?
>>340376060
when leeches and social media discovered that videogames were an industry too and looked for a way to make money

Jesus fuck, I need to leave this place.
>>340382516

clicking fast and pressing buttons over and over for 12h

>>340384395
It's not related to the date of the game released but to the idea of having fun
>B-BUT I WANT TO LEAVE BECAUSE I'M SUCH OLD HARCORE OLD SCHOOL GAMER
>>340386194
what is skill then?
>>340376060

Just kill me already.
>>340376060
>rockband
>"then"
How old am I?
>>340386194
If it doesn't take skill then why are there such large skill gaps in games with ranked matchmaking? Surely everyone would be the same?
>>340386438
Not pressing the button like a retard for 12h
>>340386743
Counter Strike 1.6 did it, not CoD MW
>>340386886
Because some are more autist than others.

Who cherrypicked these pics?
Starcraft has been an esport for even longer than rockband has been out which means that gamers then is literally the same as gamers now

You fucked up miserably OP

Living the meme
>>340382804
Not the OP, but I'm 22 and I had no idea what the heck was an e-sport was until literally this year. Apparently people get really mad if you insult it though. I never knew such a non-existent thing could strike a nerve with some people.
Was gamer always a term people used? I just always thought of it was a timekiller that I did my whole life. Do people really say this unironically? This is honestly such a strange word to me.
>>340388593
They click press buttons 14 h a day and they think they are "professionals"
>>340388808
Gamer is what the New York Times and other meme journals started to call people who play videogames
how deluded do people have to be to think esports is a new thing?
>>340389038
it was called just "autistic shooting" not "e-sports"
>>340388929
That sounds stupid. Why can't normal people and dumb bloggers that masquerade playing video games just leave everyone alone?
>>340389038
>G4TV
If this was Tech-TV, I would have agreed with you.
>>340388860
>Make money playing the vidya
Don't hate the player. Hate the game.
>>340389173
because media control is part of the globalist plan (a.k.a the jewish takeover of united states)
>>340389324
You win, I cringed.

They geht Money for it so they are. But they aren't athletes and this crap has nothing to do with sports.

Yes, yes they are. That's why they eat hot pockets all the time.

What are you trying to say? Gamings getting better? Wii was the reason so many casuals are in video games in the first place.
>>340376362
There's too much emphasis on competitiveness.I work at Gamestop and my assistant manager thrives on the community BS

>>340376060
I'm honestly surprised that esports is so reviled on /v/, I assume it is resentment.
Just think the people who play competitively are almost exclusively nerds, i.e. opposites of the "normies" that so many of you are so fond of complaining about.
Similarly they play their game at the highest possible human levels, they epitomise "getting good".
>>340390323
Have you ever considered that (besides the obvious kid vs adult) that as a kid you did not spend your day shitposting on 4chan while now you do. Litterally 3 out of 5 of your "now" negatives are related just to that.
>>340394486
Nerds are nerds, and jock are jocks. Just because you're sport happens to be videogames, doesn't mean you're not a jock.
>>340389038
It's not new, but for the first time since its inception it's kinda-sorta popular in the west. Up until a few years ago nobody outside Korea gave a shit besides incredibly small communities like the FGC.

That's probably Xian, he only wears the shirt because he's sponsored by them
