>vocal 0.1%
i wonder to what kind of people hes referring
ResetERA
DESPITE *huff* MAKING UP ONLY *puff* 0.1% OF CONSUMERS
resetera faggots, Yea Forums trannies and reddit subhumans like rfuckepic
Because they're worthless spoiled brats like Instagram whores.
The abuse they speak of is just part of the internet and social media, nothing specific to gamers
You can quit right now, no one will cry.
If you quit your job because 0.1% of your customers are whiny bitches you dont truly love your craft.
That's ridiculous.
He can quit and work in retail instead where at least 30% of customers are assholes.
Just close your eyes nigger
WAAAAH PEOPLE ARE BEING MEAN TO ME ONLINE! I DON'T WANT TO WORK ANYMORE. WAAAAAAAAAH.
>who nobody will moderate
What kind of phrasing is this? What the fuck do you expect to be done about it? Regardless, if I quit vidya it’s going to be because of the vocal devs who shit talk customers on Twitter all day with zero reprecussion from their higher ups.
Why do game developers have such inflated egos? Ffs they aren't working on Google's AI project, they make video games.
>make and release a game
>people don't like it
>people have an opinion and voice it
why does this make them so stressed? it's probably just some 15 year old kid on twitter yelling at you, not like they're gonna come to your house or some shit
>"Oh no people are saying mean things about me :("
Funny how game devs have done well and had good relations with their fans for the past few decades until just recently. I'm pretty sure any serious, actual game dev that love their craft are more concerned about publishers and the way that the game industry is essentially controlled by dumbass practices and people wanting to force diversity into games.
No one will miss you. You don't contribute anything to video games at large except pedantic bitching.
Yeah, because if he was actually talking about mental cases that email him everyday or turn up to his house, then they can't be moderated, but obviously he's actually just talking about people being a bit mean on twitter
>0.1%
>being such a little bitch you'd let's a extremely tiny fraction of a community quit your job
>abloo abloo some random insignifcant retards are crying on the internet i can't do my job
>meanwhile the dev is probably a progressive
>meanwhile progressives are that 0.1%
the irony is palpable
this
Almost all gamedevs are numales
>Funny how game devs have done well and had good relations with their fans for the past few decades until just recently.
Used to be if you wanted to send someone an anonymous death threat you had to take the effort of cutting letters out of magazines and pasting them on a piece of paper and mailing it yourself, you know?
they literally want all of society to be their echo chamber / hugbox and they are very much willing to enable corruption and the removal of free speech in order to get it
Literally like nigga just close your eyes. You dont need a Twitter to make a game.
>vocal 0.1%
except this group exists in every field of entertainment. Why are gamedevs such whiny bitches who can't ignore hurtful words?
'gamers' are seriously the biggest faggots on the planet, though. It's hilarious how entitled they are. I mean I used to be one, then I became a game developer and saw how retarded and pathetic they really are.
It always makes me laugh when someone starts getting mad at me because they didn't like my game. Thanks for the money, NO REFUNDS
Twitter has existed for 13 years and emailing for much longer.
Or here's a crazy idea; how about they stop spending all their time on Twitter?
how dare they want people to be nice
lmao what a pussy
How is cyberbullying real nigga just close your eyes.
>Some soi-enhanced indie dev I've probably never heard of is considering leaving game development
Oh no?!
It's all so tiresome. Everytime this happens it's some elitist cunt who gets blow back for taking a controversial stance on something. These idiots are so entitled to think that because they can pontificate on something everyone must kowtow to them and declare them correct. You (the public) are not entitled to your opinion. Look at this Ooblet dev shit, the comment isn't even bad but manifests as a twitter crypost. Ever notice how it's always the Phil Fishes and Jessica Prices bitching endlessly and not those that can act professionally weird. Whatever happened to freedom of speech is not freedom from consequences? Oh i guess it only applies when it's uppity plebs yelling at you that it applies
People telling me that I am a stupid asshole and they hope that I die because of [X] thing I changed in a game is infinitely more useful to me than a bunch of yes men praising me for anything I do.
t. a gamedev
You're criticised in every field of entertainment, too.
I used to work in retail but I despise people so I quit and went to work in a factory. Don't expect the world to change around you, change your circumstances you entitled fucking whiner.
These game devs really hate free speech. It's almost like all game devs are libtards.
Hmm.
>muh totally not entitled dev cry cause paying customers are sick of greedy moneygrabbing shit instead of quality games
gayme industry crash can't come soon enough
I contribute money. But yeah, seems like the industry doesn’t need that anymore.
How about you do?
t. "game dev"
WAHH PEOPLE SAYING MEAN THINGS ON THE INTERNET
>make some trash
>people talk shit
>a bloo bloo
these aren't even that bad, mainstream gaming and millenials were a mistake, also firewatch dev deserves the hates and so does bungie as destiny is and was a piece of shit
/thread
this.
I don't know how to convey to your entitled ass that harassing people because they aren't complying with your wishes in a game they are making is not okay.
>nobody will moderate
Cry me a fucking river. Almost all occupations have to deal with the idiotic public or have some facet of the business that does.
I work for a law firm that sometimes doesn't get to deal with the actual banks that hire us, and have to deal with random call center Pajeets they hire. Deal with it or get a different job where you don't have to deal with a single member of the living public like a graveyard security guard.
They want 100% recognition from everyone in this world, 10% haters is a no no
>resetera
>not moderated
>It's hilarious how entitled they are.
Customers have every right to be entitled, welcome to capitalism you fucking faggot. If your product is outclassed, if your sales are garbage, if you're a whiny fucking queer, I'll take my money elsewhere. This is how western society has operated for centuries now, and your snivelling isn't changing shit.
go make some more pixelshit designs for another unreleased cookie clicker
Stop being thin skinned cunts. No one will miss you.
Not harassing, just expressing their opinion in a public forum.
>I will let 0.1% of the population dictate my level lf happiness at work.
No wonder rich Jews took over so easily.
They're insecure and can't take criticism. One day on /ic/ and they would have PTSD.
And now you suck your boss’s cock. Yum yum.
anti-moderation if anything, it's okay to dox, threaten, urge people to kill and so forth, as long as it's extreme left-leaning
Absolutely this. My sister worked at a clothing store and would regularly come home talking about completely fucking retarded customers.
>Almost all occupations have to deal with the idiotic public or have some facet of the business that does.
And that is all bad.
Wrong. I'll miss that user.
Every time someone like him leaves, he's replaced by eight 14 year old Fortnite shitters.
>Funny how game devs have done well and had good relations with their fans for the past few decades until just recently.
It's not even a recent phenomenon, HoMM3 got a whole bunch of death threats over that cancelled tech faction afaik and that was in 1999. It's really just a combination of antagonistic people who become public figures but behave like they're private figures and the speed of the internet allowing people to vent their frustration directly.
I have this theory that it's like a tsunami. 1) Dev get pissed off 2) Dev acts like a giant arsehole in front of 100,000 people 3) A % of those people shoot their mouths off at you 4) You just get swamped with attacks. Because devs live behind a screen so many don't seem to understand the scale of their audience or how ideas travel on the internet.
One person saying shit to you once isn't harassment, faggot. If you're a public figure, part of it is understanding and knowing there'll always be a small group of people flinging shit at you.
Gamers are the people who have nothing better to do then whine about shit in vidya
Think how low that would be in the priorities of anyone successful or good
>Customers have every right to be entitled, welcome to capitalism you fucking faggot.
Fuck capitalism
You're literally criticised in every field, not just entertainment.
>REEEE WHAT DO YOU MEAN MY POLITICAL PROPOGANDA GAME DOESN'T ENTITLE ME TO FREE MONEY
>And that is all bad.
What are you gonna do about it, Commie? Cry to the police when a customer gets slightly angry?
Fuck off, we both know that you know that's not the issue.
Don't let the door hit you on the ass on your way out of the industry, sugar-tits!
He's saying that the internet, or society as a whole, needs to be controlled more strictly.
I miss the time when engineers made games and not "artists". When making a game was a technical achiviement on its own and not just putting some shit together in a premade engine.
Keep it up boys, its working.
>Commie
>Cry to the police
Good joke, bootlicker
Worked at GameStop, can confirm 99.9% of customers are assholes.
AND GAMERS
Make like a commie and starve to death
>wahh I can't insult people and be a general asshole anymore - the thread
>0.1 percent of our customers suck therefore game development is fucking hard
I'd play the world's tiniest violin for him but I think even that would be too much sympathy.
All commies did is cry to the police, are you crazy? Denunciation was exceptionally widespread
>A Commie
>Not a fucking militant police cocksucker
The socialists in the US just don't like our police because they don't engage in the right laws. If they were more like the UK police, limp-wristed faggots who spend more time trawling Twitter for wrong think than stopping acid attacks and moped muggings, they'd be all up for our boys in blue.
>Lefties bully & threaten a 7 YEAR OLD GIRL, just because she’s white and cast in a role they wanted a black woman for
>»guys we must stop this hatred»
Leftoids are truly the most evil, despicable scum on this planet
>yes, let's talk shit about people on who's financial goodwill I depend
>this will surely not end badly
what the fuck is even with this industry? you're making a PRODUCT that has to SELL. that's literally it.
>wahh I can't act like an asshole without being insulted and called out for it anymore - the thread
How come Japanese developers never whinge online?
>See two dudebros sitting at a table at a sidewalk restaurant.
>Overhear them yucking it up about a bunch of game devs that have been in the news lately.
>They are casually calling them greedy, cucks, lazy, etc.
>Walk up to them and tell them "If no one will moderate you then I will! You have to stop saying that!"
>They stare at me in disbelief.
>Run away at lightspeed because I can't figure out what to say or do next.
No, the issue is people arguing in bad faith that discourse = harassment.
Dear fucking retard, you're an idiot
But it's okay when you do it?
imagine going to a grocery store, and acting like a manchild throwing a tantrum because an apple was bruised
literally no different to this.
>doesn't like walking simulators about realising you were a faggot all along
LITERAL NAZI
>who nobody will moderate
REEEEEE, FREE SPEECH IS EVIL
bullying children is different from bullying adults
niglets just get the back of a boot, you don't need to bad talk them
Leftists, no morals
I didn't expect this to bait so many replies in just 10 minutes, congrats.
You're the only one arguing in bad faith here. Either that or you're just terminally incapable of engaging in discourse in an acceptable manner.
>imagine going to a grocery store, and acting like a manchild throwing a tantrum because an apple was bruised
I work in retail and shit like this happens all the time. Way to oust yourself as a fucking NEET and/or a clueless retard.
How do we get all the Onions Boys and Danger Hairs out of our vidya, lads?
>just because she’s white and cast in a role they wanted a black woman for
Wait a second, you just made that up
>go to the store
>this apple is bruised
>pick another one
vs
>go to the store
>buy an apple
>take a bite and it has a worm in it
fucking retard with retarded food analogies
It's desperation for sympathy and attention. People who make video games, especially terrible video games, like to think of themselves as progressive technological innovators because it makes them feel more important than they really are.
gamer is basically an insult right now. You're all gamers
The right has never bullied a child
They bully the adults who turned the child bad, sure, but never an actual child
Lefties have no morals
Imagine going to a store politely complaining about subpar groceries, and being labeled toxic and thrown out so they don't have to change their ways.
This is what will happen if the supplier has the power. Assholes gonna asshole, but don't fuck me over in the process.
Just look at OP, seems it's working.
More like at least 300%. And then there's management.
And what do you think of people who do that? Brave warriors of free speech standing up for their rights?
Imagine shooting a bunch of people because you can't get laid
>Um actually that already happens all the time
Yeah not the point doofus
Nips have a culture of obsequious politeness. Except Kamiya, nigger's a supreme shit talker.
>food analogy
>amerimutt race politics
>inherent to leftism
Maybe one day the creatures will understand that it was not the media, not vidya, not guns, ideologies or foreigners that caused their problems but their corrupt and decadent selves.
>The response to that (and the rise of alternatives to the mainstream games media) was a lot of people “Telling it like it is,” on YouTube and elsewhere. Jim Sterling, Angry Joe, any number of people who shout a lot about the injustices of the industry.
>If you look at any of those YouTubers and sort their videos by popularity, you’ll find out what they already know. Shouting is popular. Videos with titles like ‘Shittiest games 2016' and ‘Why it is moral to pirate everything Nintendo makes’ rate a whole lot better than nuanced and insightful reviews.
Hear that everyone? Only listen to games journalism sites. not other consumers.
This is a borderline fabricated article.
If devs gave enough of a shit about their audience to outwardly wonder about vocal minorities, and unless they're either community managers or in this thread ego-surfing I doubt it, it wouldn't be as some ponderous "0.1% who NOBODY will moderate" gesturing, it'd be in the vein of "wish those dumb fucking idiots would jump in front of a truck so I get at least get some entertainment out of their bitching".
What an enlightened post.
the incels that get assblasted at the sight of a woman in their shooter vidya
Nope, leftoids are all over Twitter shittalking this kid because muh ironheart whitewash
Lefties have no soul
