Because of them I have over 200 games in my Steam library that I will NEVER PLAY. FUCK HUMBLEBUNDLE. They are so deceiving. 'Oh it's for charity, support the indie devs and help pc gaming grow!'. Motherfuckers are running the biggest scam in human history and nobody cares. They make you feel like you're doing gods work. Like you're helping a cause and helping a dying industry grow. Well all I have to say is FUCK YOU FUCKING NIGGERS NEVER BUYING A SHITBUNDLE EVER AGAIN.
>>333628978
Unless you're legitimately accusing them of pocketing all the money and giving none to charity you clearly have no clue what a scam is
>>333628137
PS4?
>>333629378
The ouya was made before the PS4
>>333629515
they did already announce the touchpad
>>333628672
It costs more than 20k for a GF anon

Measured by amount of laughing material, probably the recent Coleco Chameleon thing.
>>333630673
And they had that poll for what games people wanted to see on the console to generate hype. The Ouya was well below the minimum requirements for most of them.

Most people on /v/ are under 18 and generally use words that they don't actually know the meaning of.
>>333629985
Came here to post this.
>>333629830
I know some devs. They are actually working on it, although the management uses the money and human resources way more ineffecently than most other companies.
>>333629964
>how was it a scam?
Or you were told it was a 10/10 game from gaming journalists who lied to push a agenda instead of giving it a fair review.

Boy, VR is swiftly becoming the most disappointing vidya related thing in a long while. Who the fuck wants teleporting around and shovelware?
>>333628672
Did people REALLY do 'buying GF'?
>>333631192
This. Coleco Chameleon is either the biggest farce, or the most shameless scam in recent memory
>>333631401
Gearbox fucked over the Megaton edition devs, too.
>>333631551
It was obvious from day 1 it was a pure gimmick to anyone paying attention. There's no point to this kind of thing until proper force feedback technology is possible to be used with it, using a controller in line with it defeats the purpose and even with hand sensors etc you are still incredibly limited

VR would've been fine if it were just a more expensive alternative to a regular monitors for a small niche market of autistic manchildren. But no, they had to shove a bunch of motion controls and casual shit in there in hopes the Wii lightening will strike twice.

The Wii
Remember how /v/ thought it would change video games forever? Fucking thing couldnt even do 1:1 tracking. But millions and millions of morons went bowling with it and then never played it again.
thats not the rift
>>333631950
I remember way back when I saw this in a corner of a gaming magazine. Then years later I found the magazine again and remembered the article. So I looked it up and it is funny how it just died quietly

>Hey guys, let's promise to remaster Homeworld and do such a pathetic job with it that a half dozen modders could do a better one for free."
Wasn't that a good remaster?
>>333628027
Hey the Ouya works tits for emulators and Netflix and such, if you expected a console on-par with the even the PS3 or 360 you don goofed hard.
Literally a scam
>>333631984
I have to wonder how that woman became CEO, given that she clearly doesn't really care much about vidya. Like, why would you even want to? If someone offered me a CEO position for some fashion company, I probably would just decline because I know for a fact I would make a gigantic ignorant ass out of myself.
>>333631950
>Number of employees
3 (as of July 2007)
What the fuck, what do they do?
>>333632330
Well there's always the OSVR. No motion controls, just a headset with similar specs to the Rift DK2.
>>333632932
Money
Literally anyone shitting on VR obviously hasn't tried it. I agree that the current generation of Rift and Vive are too expensive without a good enough library to really succeed, but within 10-15 years it will absolutely be a dominant technology.
>>333632932
The same "marketing stategy" had Microsoft with Xbone, people who made that console weren't intered in video games but with watercoolers instead
Steam Controller

Pretty much everything on Kickstarter except La Mulana 2
Humble Bundle
>>333632897
They claimed Skyrim could run on it, of course people expected a console on-par with a PS3 or 360
>>333632932
do you think any major western video games company gives two shits about video games?
A business's a business, whether it's fashion or vidya. CEOs of all corporations need almost the exact same skillsets. Do you think the CEO of a mining company has some strong passion for geology or someshit?

>>333631551
Oh look I fucking called it and got told by you retards I was just an anti-VR shill for like 3 god damn years.
And then it came out to be a slightly better Virtual Boy.

>>333633147
they held a poll of what people wanted to see on the console, skyrim was on it and on twitter they just said they would see what they could do.
>>333632932
Money, it's just another job for them.
The current CEO of EA has literally never worked with video games before.
>>333632640
>But millions and millions of morons went bowling with it and then never played it again.
Gee if this is true, I wonder how the Wii got an attach rate of 9 games to 1 console.
Could the statistics be wrong or is this poster just an idiot?

LIFE.
>>333632330
except that would be pointless because the resolution is so low. A high res monitor + trackir is better for chair sims at the moment
the motion controls actually make it feel like a virtual world and desu the bow and arrow and shooting gameplay looks pretty fun to me

People sold houses to crowdfund it, and it will never come out in the promised shape because of technical limitations. Meanwhile, more and more 10k$ ship packs are being sold.
It is a scam, even if it eventually releases.
At least the cancer of this board got chased off to /vg/ like the faggots they are...
>>333636907
rich/dumb people donating too much money doesn't make it a scam

>>333633232
They've made $110+ million selling pre-orders for DLC for a game that's still in pre-alpha.
>>333640307
wow it's like games take time and money to make
you mean they pre ordered before the game was released? wow better call the FBI
>>333631732
No they didn't, you shitlord.
Megaton devs lost the license because 3DR gave up the goods. Simple as that.
>"Hey guys, let's slap the Homeworld name onto this unrelated game made by the original devs so we can take the credit for it."
So unrelated, the devs admitted Hardware just going to be a Homeworld reskin in terms of lore.
>"Hey guys, let's promise to remaster Homeworld and do such a pathetic job with it that a half dozen modders could do a better one for free."
Too bad for your dumb ass it's literally the best remaster of a game in recent memory. And formations are on the way. All problems with HW1 are attributed to the faults of the original HW2 which is still an excellent game. Dipshit.
>"Hey guys, let's release Duke Nukem Forever as a rushed half-assed cash grab."
>"Hey guys let's fuck 3D Realms out of royalties and then sue them."
I don't even have the patience to tell how wrong you are and how hard you can go and fuck yourself, you 3DR apologist. Go back to sucking Broussard and Millers dicks, you incompetent cunt. Go die.

Oh blow it out your ass. Sega being a shit tier publisher that knowingly rushes games and forces shitty business decisions is nothing new. Who fucking cares for a game designed to be an action game that was based on an action film turning out to be an action film? We got that FUSE bullshit the same year and it was just as bad.

the development was going bad and they just made a bullshit trailer. If you release an action game for an action movie you can do that. But then just show that with your trailer.
not him but alien isolation being so shit when they made a trailer like that is just shit.
>>333631401
I saw the stream and Interceptor lied about that thing all the way to end.
It was a barely finished map of Hollywood Holocaust that didn't even have functioning shooting.
There was no game to be had. It was baseless hype which turned out to be the regular with this company.
