When and why did making stuff (Games, YouTube videos, etc.) become more about squeezing as much money as possible out of people than passion for their creation?
Newgrounds is a fine example. A lot of times, you could find games and animations there with superb quality (for the time), despite not making bank off of it. YouTube used to be the same way before everyone could monetize videos.
Now, though, it's all about making as much money as possible, not making something for like-minded people to enjoy. Passion and enjoyment for making games has become niche, though I've often found that projects that were never in it for the money happen to be great. I mean, at one time, making games (something you loved) and getting paid for it was like a privilege. And now there's a handful of devs that see devving as that.
I'm constantly reminded every time I say I want to make games that "You'll hate it, it sucks" or "Being a developer doesn't even pay that much", and that's a big problem with people that want to get into the industry.
And yeah, there's people that use games to push agendas, but there always were, it was mostly just on flash sites and shit.
tl,dr: Make something because you want to, not because you can make money off of it.
I think a lot of the problem is a quality gap. It's getting harder and harder for people new to the industry to match expected quality. One person can't make a game like GTA5, you'd need a whole building of people.
Look at your example, Newgrounds. Older games looked like shit, but were fun. Now, it's more about appeal at face-value.

Yeah, I think that's got a lot to do with it. I mean, newbie animators can't match Oney or Stamper, for example, so people don't get their hopes up and try.
And then there's the whole "edgy" bullshit. Don't lie, everything back then was dark and trying to be mature. Now any mention of death or killing either attracts little kids, or gets you flamed.
Nostalgia general?
>people want a new metroid

It's the first time I actually can't complete a game because it's affecting me too much.
Jesus fuck

It is so boring and tedious, I couldn't complete it a well.
What's a reasonable length of time for a vita's battery life? after fully charging mine it keeps dying on me after about 4 hours, has happened every day that i've played on it.
Also vita thread: Cracked Screen Edition
>buying a Vita
This is the future you chose.
Does nobody remember game gear? Higher quality graphics on handhelds means absolute shit-garbage tier battery life.
>>285736829

>>285736997
That's great, doesn't change what I said.
Why is the video game screen so small?
So we can see her face.
>>285745938
I'd give her my log.
>>285746030
But I thought twitch was a site to stream video games, not face vlogs?
>Bloodborne is 41GB
>Dark Souls 2 is 14GB
>Dark Souls is 4GB
Interesting as fuck. Bloodborne looks to be a very big game, or at least definately far more detailed than Dark Souls 2 was.
for you
>implying its not uncompressed audio because uncompressing it on the fly is too much for consoles
Uncompressed shit.
Lets post vidya concept art. Not in game graphics, not wallpapers, just the art.

I love Yoshida, but fuck me if his drawings of the character design in XII isn't weird as fuck, every other artwork for the game looks fine though

Nah nigga you're the idiot.
Tigrex is easy. This is one of the only cunts in the series I have trouble with. I just can't get his moveset down.
>>285738890
In gen 4 he just has fucking seizures and cancels half his animations. There is no pattern anymore.
I am not able to play evil character in RPG games. I just can't choose the evil answer, knowing that millions will die. I can't kick the dog. Hell, I can't even tell NPC to fuck off, because that's not a thing a nice person would say. I'm the ultimate beta, am I not?
I know that feel OP.

yesterday I summoned two players in DS2 "mountain dew " and "blablablablah" so they could help me in fighting a boss. These two trolls were probably cooperating and instead they immediatly commited suicide.
I smell /v/
>>285707326
I got a ps4 for it.
Please stop creating these fucking threads. You sound like the worst fucking marketer. If you want to create a thread about a game, at least have something to talk about, some question to ask.
What starting weapon are you choosing?
What starting background?
How do you think chalice bosses will work? Will the be created via some sort of randomization or did from just generate like 30 generic bosses? What do you think the end prize of these dungeons will be?
