Why is the game industry the only one who does this?
Why is the game industry the only one who does this?
Because consumers let them.
While I get your point, the fact you're using the restaurant industry as an example tells me that you are the real kind of entitled. Not that meme bullshit that twatters user meme about.
last I checked movies do it too
fpbp
But the restaurant analogy is gay.
Too many good goys compared to critical people
what's the problem with using restaurant as an example? make a fucking point before calling me entitled
Because of the symbiotic relationship between journos and devs, which is also the reason for the recent easy mode debacle.
Gaming Industry isn't bounded by regulations, simply as that. Primitive capitalism at it finest.
what industry?
What fucking industry does top??
>don’t like game
>refund it
Wow
>Food Analogy
Besides, in some cases, it'd be like going to an Italian Restaurant and getting butthurt that you didn't see any Chinese food on the menu.
Fuck. Now you've got me doing it. Thanks OP, you fucking faggot.
First post best post
Go back to a restaurant a week after you ate there and tell them the food was bad, see if you get a free meal
Refund policy is very strict, that's not how that works
How come the second panel hair colored fagot is wrong?
If you see some video on the net and you don't like what you see, just don't buy it.
Cuz of this EBIN :D
It's about locality, such things wouldn't be tolerated if you personally interacted with the creators, unfortunately multinational corporations are efficient at insulating themselves from the public using the media/hr departments. Don't trust strangers living far away to do the right thing for (You).
That the people who bitch at restaurants ARE really entitled. I know because I'm management in a restaurant and I need to deal with 3-4 people on a daily basis that bitched to corporate. not me, no, not when I can fix it The called customer service, they bitched about the most meaningless things like "the rice wasn't hot enough" or "I didn't get a side of hot sauce"
Corporate comes down on my head to deal with it and what do I have to do? call the piece of subhuman garbage who cannot deal with 99.99% good enough meal, tell them how sorry I am that hot sauce wasn't provided and that if only they spoke to me or another manager beforehand I could have solved things then and there, and offer them a gift card because the corporate masters are terrified of a single wallet not being available.
The best one I ever dealt recently was a vegetarian customer complaining that The Impossible Burger (yes, THAT impossible burger, we got it on the menu now) that we sold her upset her "because it tastes like meat" when the entire point of an impossible burger IS that it tastes like meat.
See
movies do it too.
and comics.
basically all of entertainment got highjacked by those faggots.
because other industries have customers who mostly can ignore when there's things they don't like
>food analogy
This is amerimutt business scheme
you realize they complain to corporate and not to you specifically to get the gift card, right? They might not have even had a problem with the food, they're just greedy scammers.
>that bottom half
What drives a person to defend faceless multi million dollar companies?
I like you

Cлышь пёc, ycпoкoйcя нaхyй.
And you do realize this is why they're entitled right? they went out to eat and they think they deserve a free meal for gracing us with their glorious precense.
Whoever made that imae must be a huge retard like me and most other anons
open a business and whenever a client complains about your service/product tell them to fuck off
after that tell us how succesful your company became
Who gives a shit about retail drones like you, >75% of every piece of shit that works hospitality and retail are illicit drug users that clog our healthcare and prison systems.
>Asking the waiter for a refund
>Harassing the chef personally on social media hours later
>Provide examples of real life entitled behavior by customers
>Turn around and bitch about the staff.
Did you not get your $20 gift card today when you told them that your glass of water was half-empty sweetheart?
>the corporate masters are terrified of a single wallet not being available.
For a person claiming to be a manager you sure have a real tenuous grasp of your own operating margins. Do you have any idea what a 5% decrease in foot traffic YoY will do to your location in 5 years? And do you know how easy it is to hit that point when you’re already at saturation and you’re pissing off customers, even just occasionally, enough to not come back? To tell their friends “oh, I don’t want to go there”? To get on Yelp or Google Maps and spank you with a 1-star because they were dissatisfied?
You don’t sell Ferraris, genius. Compare your annual revenue to your annual EBITDA, measure just how much of your costs are fixed overhead that doesn’t scale with foot traffic, and you’ll understand why your “corporate masters” are afraid of wallets leaving and not coming back because your location lacks quality control.
i htink a more accurate representation would be
>excuse me, there is no way i can enjoy until every woman on your staff has a bikini on
>i dont care if the food is delicious, this place is trash unless you have hot girls in skimpy outfits walking around
>restaurant opens a second location with improved dishes
>yelp review bomb the first one because you don’t like the thought of having to go to a different location
No, ever since NiggerCare gave more free shit to the wastoids of society that don't deserve it, namely hospitality and retail workers, I have to see them daily in the hospital and they are disgusting shitheads who don't take care of themselves and treat everyone like garbage and think the hospital is a hotel. Ironic. Nothing worse than that human trash.
>gamers
>ever apologizing
Good one.
>Restaurant opens up a second location
>Second location is rated an F by the health inspection because it's full of rats
>First location gets review bombed because it's probably also full of rats
>poor people do drugs and make bad decisions
oh my god what an incredible revelation. holy shit ive enver heard anything so profound. Well obviously the only thing to do is completely write off every poor person and let them rot without any hope of bettering their lives. damn the facts and logic are just overwhelming here
The person who made this image has never worked in a restaurant lol. Unless there is something demonstrably wrong with your food, you don't just get it replaced by being like "I don't like this". If there are no errors in the preparation and you just don't think it's "very good" you live with it or order something else.
That's not entitlement, that's a scammer doing something morally gray to get free shit. Totally different things.
And in America they are free to make their bad decisions. Without my tax money. Why is it a one way street where you and your ilk can be scum all day every day and then drain off my paycheck to fix it?
Oh, I understand it alright, that doesn't mean I can't be pissed off at a practice aimed at pleasing soft, whinny people who would be the first wastes of oxygen to die the moment a plague shows up. You want me not to be angry at that? well tough shit, you random internet chucklefuck.
Alright, fair enough. Healthcare staff is abused and left to rot far more that our own restaurant staff on an industry-wide scale.
Uhh you’re wrong if a customer asks for a replacement for any reason you’re not supposed to question you just replace it
>All italian food is now exclusive to one chain of restaurants. You don't get to choose which chain of restaurants you'll dine at to get your favorite dish.
>Proceed to copy the recipe to make the dish yourself at home.
>People now claim you are stealing from the restaurant.
Lol that doesn't happened. I served in a nice restaurant for five years. Unless something is actually wrong with the food you don't get it replaced just because. Lol people would come into the restaurant eat half a 14oz steak and ask for a replacement because it was "too salty" and we'd tell them to eat shit.
If they take one bite and say the steak is overdone, you'll replace it. Try and say this isn't true.
If it was a legitimately nice restaurant than that makes sense. It pisses me off I have to pay exorbitant markups but if you want to actually enjoy a night out away from the lower middle class polluting the scene with their future petty crime spawn and crass behavior the only thing you can do is go places they cannot afford.
t. McDonald's employee
I wonder if you'll ever get to experience fine dining in your life.
Adding to this, they'd also try to ask for a box for the "salty" steak and get pissed when we tried to take it away. Motherfuckers ALWAYS trying to get something for nothing and you HAVE to stomp it down.
But sure if you want to go into a public place and throw a huge fit and make an ass of yourself you'll probably get a dessert or something just for the sake of shutting you up.
Yeah if it was OVERDONE lol. That's a mistake on the part of the cook, you idiot. Can you not see the distinction between this and "I want a new one because it is "not very good'?
I mean, what is Yelp?
Yeah, but that's completely subjective, they could lie to you and you'll still replace it. What's the difference?
Yeah, you keep telling yourself that. Mr. "morally grey"
I doubt that you can just vaguely say that you don't like the food and get free food.
dunno remember buying new copy of timesplitters 2 and it didn't work. Returned it to a store and got another copy that did work.
>"people who rip off restaurants aren't entitled, it's actually the people working jobs who are entitled"
are all white males this fucking stupid?
>Yeah if it was OVERDONE lol.
>lol.
Seethe harder retard. Seriously people, if you end a sentence with lol or lmao, all anyone thinks is that you're purposely trying to come off less mad than you obviously are.
FPBP
And you know what else?
Let's suppose that things get fixed in the following years and the SJW trend begins to die. Companies will start catering again to their older, alienated audiences in the hopes of getting them to genuinely be interested in and play their games again.
I bet you my HOUSE that these SUCKERS will eat it up, forget how they were treated like second-class all these years in favor of the newer normie audiences and start sucking corporate dick again.
Gaming is an addiction and gamers are the absolute tools. They have the memory of a goldfish.
What? I don't do that shit, and *it is* morally grey because if it wasn't it'd be outright illegal. Fucking retard, you're so dumb you can't even have a discussion with someone.
Because it's a new medium that came into the mainstream during the advent of social media and has a unique culture where pic related can actually resonate with people so much to the point that manifests into a separate clown meme.
Movie industry is the same
You take a cook temp when you take an order and cook temps are not subjective. Our menu actually had a disclaimer saying that we aren't responsible for the quality of steak ordered well done because it tastes like shit by default.
This fucking idiots don't know a thing about cook temps and come in and order a "well done steak (not burned)" or a "medium rare (no blood)" because they don't what the fuck they're talking about, so you explain "no this is what you ordered. You can buy another one but this is what you ordered."
>buying that much
>having a fucking iPad
jesus christ what are his god damn finances?
I've already said it once, but this analogy doesn't make sense. Complaining about video games not catering to you is more the equivalent of going to a big company like Coca Cola and then complaining that the coke doesn't taste. They'll tell you to fuck off. They won't change the recipe because 1 individual doesn't like it.
>you're so dumb you can't even have a discussion with someone.
Says the guy who already belted out the tard word as if that was an argument.
The probably was always seeing this niche shit as representing all of gamers. This is the indie scene, not the AAA overlords. The fact that they were ever looked at as a huge oppressive force is mind boggling.
>restaurant worker pissy because people get on his nerves on purpose
Shouldn't of picked a deadbeat food job you piece of shit. Cry more on Reddit so you can have no blog-posts.
Keep doing retard things and you'll keep getting called a retard.
You're missing the point. It's not about games catering to someone in particular but rather how the industry treats anyone who complains the product isn't very good. Even good criticism gets shot down and shift to consumer blaming.
because youll buy it anyways.
Nah, if the person who ordered says they don't like it, you'll replace it like a bitch.
People are staying single for longer now, so no significant other or any kids to maintain = more disposable cash.
You'd be surprised how little you spend on your own once you think about your finances and stop spending like a retard.
Most gamers are spineless.
Most developers are socially and emotionally incompetent.
It protects the investors by protecting profit margins
Bad anaology. One that actually happened to me.
>A couple v8s in my six pack taste off
>not even bad, just different from usual
>call customer service and tell them
>told how incredibly sorry they are
>full refund and vouchers for 3 six packs of v8
If you don't have a drug problem or kids, which are about as equally expensive, and you work any kind of job at least one step above the shit high school kids work at, you will have tons of money and not much clue what to do with it all. You just have to not spend frivolously like a woman
You should probably get a better job than burger king you stupid nigger.
>WHAHH WAHHH MY JOB IS HARD I HATE THE PEOPLE THEY ARE SOOOO ENTITLED
Pathetic..
Best analogy ITT
I am surprised at how aggressively you took that guy's replies
you are actually dumb and also wrong
>food analogy
Damn this is getting old. Maybe you fat fucks should stop eating your video game.
>but rather how the industry treats anyone who complains the product isn't very good
You'll get treated the same if you complain about mass produced products. They won't change the recipe just for you. You aren't entitled to that just because you paid for it.
>Different from usual
Unless your game is literally broken it isn't different from usual
This. We should let them starve and not buy every piece of shit game they realese
What exactly is wrong with food anologies?
>restaurant opens a second location with improved dishes
The addition of semen is not an improvement.

>nothing it is fine, prepared to the exact specifications I requested, I just do not like it.
>Oh, is there anything I can do?
>Yes please bring me the exact same thing but better.
Go outside faggot
>You'll get treated the same if you complain about mass produced products
No, I'm not. Worst thing you will get is getting hang up while calling customer service. Or maybe some attendant getting pissed off and telling you to fuck off in case you are not polite, but that's about it.
You don't get your morals and politics questioned because you politely told them the product sucks.
In truth it's contextual, like with most analogies they're typically a bit lacking because there's usually a gap that ruins the comparison.
But with internet memes, they're just so commonplace and familiarity has come to mean bad with a lot of people.
What the fuck is a "gender able" person?
They'd lie and you'd have to believe them.
Yeah, I guess calling a retard, a retard, is "popping off". Go back to fortnight kiddo.
For a board that hates these people, how come you all are big-time corporate cocksuckers?
See: Nintendo and Sonyfags
>yes, THAT impossible burger, we got it on the menu now
Are you working at a Burger King?
It's "cis gendered" + "able bodied"
Basically if your protag isn't a crippled tranny nigger from outer space then you're a literal alt-right nazi.
It is for fags like you
lol
>You don't get your morals questioned
Wrong. It's very much possible that they'll call you entitled because that's what you are if you think they owe you to change the recipe because you don't like it
>politics
No shit, food has nothing to do with politics. In video games however there will always be some nutcase who gets offended by them, sometimes it's both sides who get offended like in RDR 2. Can't make everyone happy
Cute but wrong.
>Why does the hero of this game need to be black?
>Why does the hero of this game need to be a woman?
>Why can't we have straight or white characters in our game?
People write what they know. A white man writing a black female character but characterizing them exactly like a white man is stupid and pointless. People are different, and the idea that all races, genders, sexualities, nationalities, etc are completely interchangeable and have zero effect on how a character behaves is retarded.
Funny how people think automation will come to get the manual labor jobs first, if anything anyone who does data entry are the ones that need to be scared, that shit can be automated right now, manual labor is still safe for a good two decades simply because robots are still garbage.
You guys wish, And no, I'm not telling you where I work, keep projecting.
>the idea that all races, genders, sexualities, nationalities, etc are completely interchangeable and have zero effect on how a character behaves is retarded.
The ultimate irony is that the people promoting this bland, boring, "Black people are just palette-swapped white people" and "Women are just men with tits" mentality are the people who claim to be supporting "diversity" even though it's the exact fucking opposite of diversity.
bottom pic does happen in the food industry you just dont hear about it because its not based on social media like modern video game shit
People don't really do bad things to our food, right? I always try to be extra polite to restaurant people, partially because I don't want them messing with my food. But some of my family members can be obnoxious when ordering, so I'm worried they'll fuck with all our food. Please make sure nobody messes with the food, even if it's some asshole. That asshole might take the food and feed it to his kid.
>That the people who bitch at restaurants ARE really entitled.
>proceeds to describe people to bitch at corporate and not at the restaurant at all
You're an idiot.
You are aware of the fact that people are individuals?
they arent, but they are one of the industries with this disease that young people will most likely come in contact with. This is a result of globalist corporatism. The idea basically being, you are no longer a customer and you are no longer right about anything and you basically have no 'rights' because there are no consequences for treating you like shit. You arent going to sue anyone over 10$ of monopoly money in your 'free' game, and even if you do you already agreed to 'arbitage' which means someone elses lawyer paid by the people who have a problem with promise to 'solve' your problem for you (protip: they wont because you arent the one paying them). As far as they are concerned, if you dont want to buy the garbage product, they can just shuffle to another market/country/community and sell it to them. This is why globalism/centralization of basically anything is a really really REALLY bad thing for anyone with an ounce of critical thinking skills or self respect. Some untouchable faggot who cares nothing for you can and will fuck you over for a dollar because there are zero consequences for them and there is literally nothing you can do about it that will directly and instantly effect them.
Nah, adulterating food is quite literally a firing-on-the-spot offense. (At least in our company, but mostly everyone in the industry has some sort of policy like this) and most of the people that have been fired for it have been not for spitting on food, but for taking food out for themselves, grill cooks who think it's ok to steal a piece of steak from a steak tartare for instance.
The one thing someone might take revenge on you is not the kitchen, it's the waiters. And they won't do it by adulterating food either, they'll play phycological games with you to get even, like telling a guy on a date who's obviously trying to impress a woman that his credit card has been declined right in front of her just because the guy has been treating the staff like his own personal chattel slaves
Yes, but that doesn't mean that every person is interchangeable with every other person. It's simply a fact that, for example, women think differently from men. Even the most masculine tomboy will still have distinctly feminine ways of thinking on certain things. There's also the effect of culture. A white kid, black kid, and asian kid all raised in the same middle class suburb will end up influenced by their respective cultures and will have some experiences that are unique to their race/nationality that shape them into distinct individuals. But what these "pro-diversity" people suggest is that literally any person can be any other person, and that the ONLY differences should be skin deep, which is insulting to the actual positive aspects of diversity.
When was the last time you went outside and interacted with people?
>literally any person can be any other person
And that's true.
I like how the goyim have been trained to instantly disregard analogies. Just keep throwing away the few tools you have left then your slavery will be complete.
>b ...but what do you mean? i just have a thing about food analogies
no, youve been trained to ignore all of them. If someone said something that had nothing to do with food, you'd just say "DID YOU JUST COMPARE _insignificant thing_ TO SOMETHING SERIOUS? ITS NOT THE SAME user".
unlike food which you can't tell will fit your palette, or can vary between meals, chefs having off days, etc.
games are an entirely static experience, it's the same for everyone, if you didn't take the time to look up the shit you're spending money on, that's on you. Dumbfuck.
>When was the last time you went outside and interacted with people?
Ironic that you're the one asking this while claiming that upbringing, culture, race, and gender do not in any way shape the development, perceptions, ways of thinking, and behaviors of individuals throughout their lives.
Am I supposed to agree with the colorful hair man?
Thanks, that's reassuring. I hadn't thought about cooks taking some food for themselves, but it makes sense. Would be hard to resist if the food is tasty.

>that slide
One day I want to just go to gdc and post this edit because fuck those people
Nobody said they own you anything, I just wanted to be treated with respect, which is the opposite of what this industry does.
Whoops wrong image.
There are theories that getting rid of the bad customers improves the store for the rest of the normal customers. I believe it.
Yep. Hungry, underappreciated cooks is the reason why the policy is in place in the first place tee bee eich.
Not to project onto you or anything, but people tend to forget we're also restaurant costumers ourselves. Do you think a cook that just worked a double shift, 6 AM to 10 PM wants to go home to cook? fuck no, they're gonna get some takeout and they don't want that happening to them either, so they don't do it. It's basic empathy.
I own a little caesars franchise and do much of the same. Especially now that we have that pizza portal shit you can literally, down to the 15 minute increment, say when you're coming in and we make the pizza to be ready around then. Ironically people tend to use the coupon for a free 2l with it, then never take it, so I set them aside for old ladies or the staff, incentivize fucking being happy at work, and you get happy workers. It ain't hard. Drop a fucking $20 out of your paycheck and buy everyone a pizza for the day so they're not eating leftovers, let them know you appreciate them. justPOST ABOUT FUCKING VIDEO GAMES.
In a society we live...
Because many (modern) game developerd are gamma tier faggots who are anti social outside of other shitty onions drinkers. They virtue signal and baseddrink daily and see you as actually evil racists only for thier money
Then blue check marks and journos are worse. They can't make anything and often are miserable boys and girls that know they do nothing of value. Less and less people care about journos. Let alone gayming journos
Does anyone care about critics? Most likely you listen to user grades and what your friends say. Basically
>Gamma fag anti social smug game makers who are just barely able to make games (most likely because asians indians and normal white dudes do the actual work)
Mixed with
>Useless hated and self hating low educated "journalist" too dumb to be writing about actually important things so they need to virtue signal for thier buddies in gaming
Just don't listen to them and stop buying from devs who shit talk people without a damn good reason.
Every industry does this nowadays, it's just that the gaming community is so small and tightly knit that it's easier to bully while harder to infiltrate and subvert.
Idk what you mean by sucking corporate dick but if you mean praising said company and buying their games than that's what the market suppossed to do you're supposed to buy games you want to see more of or anything of for that matter
Based manager
Our manager was bro as fuck as long as work was getting done. Of course when it came time for the rush we all had his back because he always had ours.

>Was okay with me just making myself boneout wings to eat for dinner because he knew I was poor
