What is the Cancer ruining video games?

gamers

(Tы)

lootboxes and microtransactions

YOOOOOOOOONG OUTTTTTT

Devs not realising how important in game decisions and voice acting is. Obviously this is primarily for RPG games but how the fuck do studios spend so much money on development then use the same voice actors for 12 different NPCs and make essentially every meaningful choice either Yes, reluctant yes or no

Looking at you Bethesda

DLC, people actually used to give a shit about how fucking awful it was but the fact that it became so successful and normalized is leading to over monetization of singleplayer and multiplayer games.

Its shifted most companies away from games as a product mindset to games as a service one instead.

Same as everything else.
The internet going from a niche utility to being ubiquitous and retard-proof.

existence of voice acting is what is ruining rpgs

>gamers are ruining vidya
Non-gamers are the bigger problem.

Corporate influence and interference

Zoomers, geek culture, youtube, lets plays, and most importantly women.

Man, i sure do love hating women.

i agree, i find characters who just make certain sounds unique to themselves when they speak like in Banjo Kazooie or the chitter sound when text is layed down when a character speaks in Paper Mario to be really charming.

Minorities

Microtransactions (no "muh cosmetics" defense allowed)
Preorders and preorder bonuses
Complete/Ultimate/Definitive/whatever the fuck else "editions"
Mobile phones
Extreme push for multiplayer, alongside the killing of dedicated servers replaced by "queues" and pools

You're not wrong though. Women will never be satisfied no matter how many concessions you make for them because fundamentally they're just unhappy people.

Women
Muh Open World
Aesthetics before gameplay

why did lets plays ruin things. back in the early days of youtube they were some of the most comfy shit.

Epic Games

at least they might have something to say rather than be reduced to one-liners to cut production costs

Twitter

So much cum in that brain

people who pay full price for games from publishers who notoriously lie, release unfinished games and implement anti consumer business models

Lowest common denominator game development. The likes of EA and Betheshit and many others making “streamlined” games that either remove features to simplify complex and nuanced game mechanics, or add features to close the skill gap of gameplay. Many series across many genres are dead and are walking zombie atrocities of poor game design.

I wouldn't mind paying $100 if there were no loot boxes or DLC ever. That being said, they could stand to spend way less on marketing.

bland open world design filled with nothing but meaningless checkmarks you have to run through

late stage capitalism and identity politics

Casinofication.
Everything else is caused by it or a distraction from it.

The AAA industry actively despises its core market and wants them replaced with casuals who are less resistant to aggressive monetization and their progressive creative leads. Over inflated budgets leading to less risk taking and more focus on cinematic elements to make good trailers instead of good gameplay.

It's not all bad theres still good devs mainly in Japan and independent devs. I'd say its better than it was a few years ago. 2013 with bioshock infinite really was the low point.

world of warcraft same thing

This is the hardest pill to swallow. Casuals and non-gamers have demonstrably ruined hobby gaming. For example you can look at a “popular AAA” release, and just according to the achievements, 20-30% of people don’t even play the game they bought, and less than 30% finish it. That’s guaranteed achievements, not even side content

It’s a proven concept, but won’t work when the majority of the market is mongoloids who don’t care. Same with politics

SJW complainers that the game doesn't cater to their specific mental illness.

Developers that cave into those SJW people/media outlets.

Lootcrates/DLC that separate playerbase, overpriced for lack of content it adds(see: Witcher 3 DLC's for decent content -> price value).
