>I am not saying anything about video games causing violence of not
what's the problem then you fucking dipshit, there are some games out there that don't involve killing people, if you can't enjoy those either just stop playing video games and do something else, there is so much stuff you can spend your time on but instead you're forcing yourself to play/screech about video games you don't seem to enjoy

Why should he be the arbiter of what kinds of fantasies are or aren't 'gross'? I think scat stuff seems gross, but I wouldn't give a damn whether or not video game companies catered to scat fetishists or not. Just because I find it repugnant doesn't mean it shouldn't exist. The exception might be child porn stuff. I heard somewhere that that sort of stuff is more likely to make pedos molest kids than keep them from molesting kids.

I laughed way harder than this idea deserved, but it's sort of true. The industry (maybe all culture) is stuck in a creative rut where nothing is happening. No one in power has a sincere vision that isn't about printing normiebux or pushing a political agenda.

I do infact fantasize about stabbing blow in the neck.

Why does he even make games then? Get out of the industry if you hate it so much.
Did you guys know that violence happened before video games existed? Weird, right?
I like to read. It's probably the only hobby I spend as much time on as vidya.
When I was about 16 I read Don Quixote. It was my father's favorite novel, and so I read it, and enjoyed it. It was a bit of a slog at parts, after all it's a 400 year old Spanish novel translated into English with 3-4 footnotes on every page. I still laughed a lot and was surprised at how well the humor holds up. It's a fucking important piece of the history of literature and deserves respect...
When I was in college I took a literature class as a blow off. Something to pad out my average and unwind, since I had always loved reading. The teacher (who introduced herself as a feminist on the first day) asked us what our favorite novels were.
Now, back then I was a little insecure. I was 19, in a new city with new people, so I wanted to sound smart. I said Don Quixote. The real answer at the time was Snow Crash, but I thought mentioning such a classic might make me seem smart. It was pretentious and I've grown up since then, but that's what I did, sue me.
The teacher went into a ten minute long condescending discussion about how problematic Don Quixote is. How worthless it was. How the fulcrum of its comedy was laughing at a man who is suffering from delusions, and how him being the subject of comedy is damaging to the mentally ill. She tore down an important piece of the history of literature because it didn't fit within her modern liberal sensibilities. It didn't matter that the book had so much more, in her mind it was garbage because the joke was a mental illness the author couldn't have even known existed.
These people are fucking maniacs so detached from reality they might as well fight some racist windmills.
>>341079573
Nothing. Radicals despise all forms of media and expression because they are a vehicle for ideas that are not their own. And they wish to quash those opposing ideas so that theirs are the only ones and can be forced upon others.

What you call pushing a political agenda is only seen negatively because it's done poorly, in a crass and blunt manner. If a work raises questions and then answers them it's not necessarily pushing an agenda, just getting the author's own opinion or worldview across to an audience.
Written like a true shithead, but yeah, pretending to kill people is a mildly fucked up hobby to have.
I'm even willing to bet that there is in fact some shaky correlation between video games and IRL killstreaks, just like there's a correlation between gluten and some people shitting their brains out. You have to have something weird going on in your ass to be suscepitble.

Also, games don't sell the mass murder fantasy. They sell the treasure hunter fantasy. They sell the espionage fantasy. At "worst" they sell a war fantasy. Only one game in recent memory sold the mass murderer fantasy, and that was hatred. That games got tons of shit. So I don't understand how he can say that.
>>341081791
While I appreciate the burn, the two statements:
>Studios are working hard to build fantasies about how cool it is to be a mass murderer
>Studios want to make money and make games people want
are not in any way in opposition. If JBlow was trying to imply that it is the studios who are pushing their agenda of violence and murder than Notch's comment would be accurate, but I'm not sure JBlow was implying any sort of causality here.

Because it's emotionally charged that masquerades as rational criticism and it also is phrased as such to shift the burden of antagonistic blame away from the offended individual and toward the subject they are criticizing.

I get "triggered" by it because it's sophistry at it's worst.

>>341081983
That's why I selected the term I did.
I also don't think that mass shooters use video games as a subsitute for what they really want. They were probably already immersed in video games, action movies or gun culture long before they developed a politic or psychosis that leads to real violence.
I'm just saying that there's probably a social price for all the things we personally enjoy, that we can't justifiably deny to those people who it might be unhealthy for. Same as everything else in the world ever.

>>341082662
He backpedaled a whole lot and then contradicted himself on it later like most of diseased faggots like him.
>>341076369
lots of people enjoy violence, which is why violent games are popular. and violent movies, violent books, etc. the fact society isn't a bloodbath proves that most of those are good people who can control themselves in everyday life. and even then, most of violent games have the pretence of some acceptable context (like fighting an alien invasion) specifically because people don't like doing the wrong thing even in video games.
being good or bad is not about your feelings, it's about having control of yourself. the only people who want to push the idea that having bad thoughts or feelings is equivalent to actually doing something bad are control-freaks who want to police your mind.

it's not like they've been planning E3 for months, and they aren't going to change anything just because there was a mass shooting. Yeah, it sucks. People died. People were hurt. Shit happens.
it's like saying:
>how could they have not seen this shooting coming??? wtf gamerz???
if it didn't happen no one would be making these asinine tweets about muh shooterz = violence
>>341084678
Because a lot of neckbeards have been described as 'gross' and it triggers them
I guess it's nice video games give people an outlet so they might they deal with their violent urges through catharsis, rather than, you know, act it in real life.
Video games allow you to shoot people without harming them.
If everyone in real life was an immortal being we would be shooting at each other all the time just for shit and giggles.
>>341086076

The only real talents you have are concealing your obscenely conceited and pretentious nature a bit better than others that are just as conceited and pretentious as you are. Also, you have some skill at picking decent artists and musicians to make your games appealing to a decent degree. You struggle constantly from becoming forgotten on a daily basis because you're the poor man's Molyneux and guess what? He dropped out.
Follow suit.

No. What I want to do in a gsme has no basis in reality and that is something he acknowledged in his tweets. If I feel some sort of joy from running and gunning down civvies in GTA, but it doesn't influence my behavior or beliefs at all, why does it matter?
Furthermore, most games are not just limitless slaughter. They follow stories and outside of a very few you are hardly being a mass murder. His use of the phrase is an obvious emotional play.
Finally, this whole idea that the videogame is beholden to the moral whims of society is absurd. If it sells that's all that matters.
Lefties can't tell fiction from reality. More news at 11.
For real, I hate the asinine train of thought that violent video games somehow make folks more violent in the real world.
The shitskin that shot up Orlando certainly wasn't an avid gamer. So, what's the dude's point? What's his argument? I'm not saying it wasn't a tragedy and all that, but somehow saying the video game industry is even remotely responsible or liable for this is beyond retarded.

How do you profit off a mass shooting? Link it to gaming.
>>341086334
Is he gonna pull another "I was just pretending to be retarded!"?
How bad did The Witness flop?
>>341076369
Yes, let's ban games. Now that I think about it movies are also violent, ban them too. Fuck it, let's go full orwellian, ban the Internet and free thought too.
>>341087281
he cant read your post you autist
>>341088051
don't forget books anon. it would probably be best to burn them so that they don't get reprinted.

I remember when it was becoming increasingly apparent that there was a gap between vidya consumers and journalists they threw Molyneux under the bus to try and prove "Nuh uh! We aren't people who use our podiums to give coverage to our friends and act as another branch of corporate PR! See we can be critical of game devs, look how savage we were against Molyneux"
>>341077442
>Talented devs make interesting games.
Not true.
Interesting developers make interesting games.
In order for people to be interested, you need to be interesting.
>>341086348
There's literally nothing wrong with guns in video games. The only people who would decide to shoot up a place because of video games would be someone who can't distinguish reality from fantasy, and at that point it's not vidyas fault, it's societys for letting this mentally ill person in the world without help
Do these people honestly believe that there wouldnt have been a mass killing if our culture didnt value the right to self defense and the entertainment value of firearms? Have these people never heard of bombings? Are they completely oblivious to ideological killings that happened before firearms or even explosives existed?
Are we going to start shaming cooks for valuing large knives in the preparation of food because millions were killed with blades in the crusades?
>>341084747
This is fucking disgusting. What goes through someone's head when they use a religiously motivated hate crime and the deaths of civilians to push some unrelated agenda

I had a gay friend of mine discuss Orlando with me and at one point he mentioned that it hurt more being a part of the group being hated against. I was dumbfounded because, as a human, I'm a part of every tragedy that befalls mankind . But no I guess we should only care when our sexualities match up.
Stabbing fools is cool as fuck, in my opinion. It's especially cool when I'm not actually killing a person for real since I don't have to deal with the whole "Oh, I just took away a human life" issue.
>Johnathan Blow blaming video games for societal woes
into the washup bin he goes.
>>341076369
I would love if there was a good detective game where you could solve crimes and piece together a conspiracy. I don't know how that could be made into a good open ended game though.
>>341085782
Funnily enough, during the first Christmas of WWI, allied and German troops ended up calling a ceasefire (disregarding orders from their superiors to do otherwise) and sang Carol's and played soccer in No Man's Land. I think it is called the Christmas miracle of 1914?
Quite the interesting event. Eventually, some officers had to shoot the enemy soldiers to get the to start killing each other again.
>>341085951
He actually didn't back pedal at all, at least on the OP's picture. He said "fantasies about murder" are fucked up, not once did he say that it would somehow make real murderers.
He's wrong, but consistently so.
>>341086334
>violence is inherently patriarchal and male
This guy has problems.
>>341087742
His Steam account had no activity since last August and his last forum posts on both of his sites were from around that time period. If he's not dead, he's probably in jail or on the run.
>>341076369
The only thing that might generally constitute a point is the fact that the Shooter market is bloated and there is a severe lack of quality puzzle games.
However that point gets missed badly by the person trying to make it and instead goes MUH MURDER SIMULATORS.
Seriously, Try playing The Island of Doctor Brain or The Seventh Guest then come back and tell me that your walking simulators are high quality storytelling mediums.
>>341088635
Maybe we should start insinuating that all these people linking it to games might be gay for their need to bring it up.
>selling a game about walking very slowly around one island solving puzzles for FORTY
>FUCKING
>DOLLARYDOOS
No thanks. I'd rather play games about shooting people.
>shooting happens
>suddenly ppl want to raise awarness for an issue by scapegoating vidya
>if the shooting didnt happen nobody gave a fuck
funny how that oppertunism works to push selfish agendas
Honestly though, why ARE most games about killing? I don't have a problem with it, I just don't know why I like it
>>341088758
John Blow is a faggot, but you're an illiterate retard.

What a surprise.

Fucking retard. If JAI turns out to be shit or badly managed he's basically done.

because it's an engaging way to solve conflict that is almost universally understood
>hunting and killing is an inherent biological imperative to any non-vegetarian species
>why do people enjoy violent games?
>>341086334
Maybe he just doesn't want to face that violence is inherently exciting for humans and therefore makes for easy, exciting gameplay. It doesn't matter if you are shooting people or robots, you are still being destructive and violent and that's fun.
>>341089029
It's just a power thing. Humans love telling other humans how they should live their lives. We're going back to an age of segregation under the guise of unity. It's fucking mind blowing.
>>341084747
Because shooting people IS fun. Or at least, simulating it.
Why do kids play robber and gendarme with sticks? Why do adult get into arguments, not always successfully restraining themselves?
Because humans are to some extent violent creatures and videogames appeal to that nature in an altogether pretty socially acceptable way.

He never let any one answer him. He think disagreement is being threatened
someone explain to me how the FUCK do you manage to shoot 50 (fity) people without someone putting you down, police forces or someone else
thats a fuckload of shooting
>>341088206
Yes let's burn books, it's totally a very progressive way to show progressiveness, totally not done in the 15th century in Florence by the extremist catholic church!

What is he talking about? This E3 has had nothing different than previous ones with regards to violence. Must be an American thing because it's the only 1st world country that has a mass murderer problem.
>makes inferior puzzle games that people buy solely because he gets PR from his in-crew

Okay?

All this shit is good so of course he doesn't like them. He doesn't like anything.
>>341089851
They were in a gun free zone.
>>341089851
Aren't nightclubs guarded as well? Shouldn't someone on staff have had a gun?
>>341089851
Only one person tried to attack him from the reports.
Video games aren't going to stop Muslims from killing everyone they don't agree with
>>341089851
Killed 50 and injured 50 more.
Have you seen how many people you can pack into a nightclub? That shit was probably packed and loud as hell. Nobody probably realized that there was shooting at first, until it was too late.
>>341076369

That's a propaganda game right there buddy and that's why people don't like that.
>yield constantly to a religion that goes against everything you stand for because it's mostly comprised of brown people
>said religion brainwashes a brown person into murdering your precious homos because that religion hates them
>scramble to find a way to make this about anything than what it actually is so you can somehow point the blame at the same targets (LE NERDY CIS FUCKING WHITE MALES) that are easy to bully and won't kill you and so your world view isn't challenged at all
Every person who discusses this shooting without mentioning Islam at all is basically too far gone into the liberal cult to talk about anything with.
>>341089851
Faggots weren't carrying, and it was a nightclub so they were all drugged up, lots of noise going on.
Nietzsche was a goddamn prophet.
Remember all the ridicule he got?
>>341089303
>don't have to read to know he's full of shit anyway. Libtards don't use english by its oxford defined words. they made bullshit up with existing words with new meanings
He saying murder fantasies is a bad idea is saying video games causes violence outside video games. he's pissing in the beehive.
>>341077425
Loaded questions. Like my asking you: Are you single or have ever raped babies?
>>341090242
From the casualty maps, people found out right fucking quick. There was only one body on the dance floor, and unless he dragged the bodies around, most people died in the entrance probably trying to get out.
>>341089851
Because everyone ran off and tried to hide inside a club, or a building where most doorways inside don't have doors, much less locks.
>>341089851
Nightclubs are insanely packed. Especially on a saturday night.
Haven't you ever seen that nightclub fire video?
>>341090479
he still deserved it, and so does everybody else today touting his same message.

I don't have Twitter but make the point that the purpose of terrorism is to terrorise populations and damage their psyche and ability to function.
9/11 was partially successful not for knocking down two towers, but for financially devastating airlines for months afterwards, ushering in TSA abuse, patriot act, Iraq war fervour etc.
If you change your gaming behaviour after an Islamic terrorist attack, you're caving in to what the terrorist wants, which is submission and behavioural changes. You're literally letting the terrorists win, if you can't stomach playing FPS games that means you've been successfully terrorised.
>>341076369
I agree with him when it comes to the industry at large, but I don't give much of a fuck about E3 so I wouldn't know how the event goes.
>>341089851
so many drunk and wasted people with all them drug and alcohol m8 go out and live a little some time soon... hopefully without a shooter to bring you down from it to quickly

He had one of these and shot the one armed guard coming into the building.

Or to form an opinion. Because that's all it is. Pedophilia is gross, Furries are gross, Fanservice is gross. Gayness is gross These trigger so many people.
>>341090634
Also, one guy who was escaping blocked an exit behind him so the gunman couldn't use it....subsequently locking a bunch of other people in as well.

Nightclubs are dark, loud and full of drunk people.
