The reason companies don't care about you and ruin sequels is because men are extremely loyal to brands.
A company will try really hard to make men like a game in its first iteration, then once they have succeeded they can treat you like trash and you'll put up with it. From that point on they will pander to women and shit on you.
For instance gears of war 5 is pandering to everyone except the majority of people who will be buying it, because they know how your monkey brain works.

>is because men are extremely loyal to brands.
This doesn't seem true at all. Look at what's happening to Gillette, the previous go-to shaving company.
Boy, this can't backfire at all, can it?
consider the anger and rage from betrayed men Gillette generated.
There's a brand of pants that I really like because they fit me better than any other brand I've ever worn. The material used is also very nice for working in, so yeah I guess you can say I'm loyal to a brand of pants, but when it comes to games, that doesn't apply to men unless you're poor or autistic.
Pretty sure the disney defense force are mostly women whos nostalgia is being kept hostage
>Erasmus
Isn't that the EU plot to produce a new generation of brainwashed Europhiles who will support the regime unconditionally to show gratitude to the people who made them?
>Men are loyal to brands
>when marketing to men, you should highlight the advantages and benefits of your products
Yet another clickbait headline to generate artificial outrage and to shit on men, except this time nothing about the headline is true, so it's not even clickbait, it's just straight up lies.
>when it comes to games, that doesn't apply to men
Yeah console war threads are very rare
>Men are loyal to brands
>when marketing to men, you should highlight the advantages and benefits of your products
which is it, fucker
Who cares fuck the world fuck the planet fuck humans fuck you me and your mother. Let the nukes fly i hope it happens soon and i hope it's ALL of us taking a dirt nap.
The console war has died down significantly since last generation, perhaps not so coincidentally the PS4 and Xbox One are both similar in specs.
This means that men really are more persuaded by the advantages and benefits of products, as mentioned in the actual article. Reading the headline alone is such a plebeian mistake to make.
I really don't give a fuck about brands. I barely even consider them when making a purchase.
Men are second-rate citizens, and this is forever. It doesn't matter how much you complain, nothing will change.
i never understood why you would by sequels. i literally bought one fifa game in 2005, counter-strike 1.6, far cry 1, the first battlefield, the first call of duty. had a very fun time. all games died out because of sequels. i felt no need to buy the same game again just to keep up with the community.
seriously all that cash grab bullshit going on in the gaming industry made me not play anything anymore.
>For instance gears of war 5 is pandering to everyone except the majority of people who will be buying it
But the only people who actually care about Gears will buy it for the multiplayer and from what I've heard that's solid.
what's happening to gilette? I'm a lazy motherfucker and shave like once every 3 months using an electric shaver after using a hair clipper to get it mostly down.
If the new Terminator movie was called feminator it would make no money at all, since it's called Terminator it will make hundreds of millions.
Brands work, no matter what you do to them.
>>poor or autistic
Where are we right now?
Women aren't loyal to anything this is why they are awful.
They made all men seem like rapists and sexual predators in their recent commercials advertising their razors to said rapists and sexual predators.
The first paragraph explains that men are loyal to brands that worked for them beforehand, so to pull them away from those brands you need to show that your product can work just as well if not better, i.e. advantages and benefits of your products compared to other brands
>Some random attention whore wrote this garbage
>videogame "journalism"
>hundreds of millions
The last one barely broke even because of China pandering. If I'm not mistaken, they've been making less with each one since T3.
hooktube.com
Gilette went woke and men said 'no thank you', causing them massive losses.
They're not broke (because their parent company is fucking enormous), but they lost sales
>Brands work, no matter what you do to them.
Ghostbuster 2016
>woman are loyal to good service
So not at all?
it's happened so much it's not even anger, just dissapointment from the constant attack on men ((company of the month)) decides to YOLO into despite repeat showings it's a terrible idea.
Most likely the kinds of bright colored idea women in the ideas room push it really hard. wonder how many get fired everytime if at all.
Don't forget the spinoff game that was so terrible it killed the company
>women are loyal
top kek
>men loyal to brand, women loyal to service
>literally boldened: women get suckered in by marketing relationship, men care about the actual product
lmao
That's so fucking stupid, from both an advertising perspective for a product and what it was trying to convey.
It still made way way more money than it should of.
that's some shitty ass total gross for such a brand
Battlefield 5 sold 7.3 million copies at $60 each, no matter what nonsense they say that is insane amount of money.
Mass effect andromeda was a success selling over 4 million copies.
Men always value brands, even if the product is shit.
Did you see the trailer? it should of made less than the ben hur movies did.
>Mass effect andromeda was a success selling over 4 million copies.
selling 4 million copies at $5 each is not a success
More like niggas loyal but deez hoes aint loyal bruh
Bitches aint shit but hoes and tricks

which part is the joke
youre mom
Women
Point is they could make a pile of shit with a brand name on it and people will buy it, a brand very rarely fails when it's a product consumed by men.
Good movies can do really well, but brands are always going to make money. The new star wars will make money, even though they have outraged almost all the fanbase. Same for Drwho, star trek, terminator, marvel movies.
Most men are really stupid, and this is why companies have zero respect for them and the products aimed at them.
Erm friendo, you missed the part where it says that it has to work for men.
Every single man i know will stick to a brand that works, aka if it ain't broke, don't fix it. But also every single man i know will toss the brand aside if they start skimping on quality or shit goes bad.
Hey! that's sasha baron cohen's cousin
TV series do this too, every one of them usually has a great first series to build brand loyalty and then they go full feminist propoganda to attract women because they know they have the dudebros.
Vickings,Walking dead, Westworld, GoT etc
yeah that is what I have realized a long time ago as well.
if guys all just stopped buying games for 1 year things would really change quickly.
but guys are too easily tricked into buying the newest trash instead of showing some self control and wait for actual good products
>Point is they could make a pile of shit with a brand name on it and people will buy it, a brand very rarely fails when it's a product consumed by men.
You forgot marketing.
Usually it's basically equal to the producting budget, but it can be more.
From the Ghostbuster 2016 wikipedia page.
>However, due to its combined production and marketing budget of over $350 million,[10] the film ended up being one of the biggest box office bombs in history, with losses of up to $125 million for the studio.[11] Consequently, the studio abandoned plans for a sequel[12], eventually opting to continue the original Ghostbusters series instead.
>make ad about how men should act like a man and give respect to women, but in a retarded way so its stupidly not helpful
>people get mad because muh politics and because its just not a good way of teaching that message

>gilette goes damage control mode and says they stick by their message and tell people not to buy if they don’t like it
>months after that gilette loses 10 million and specifically site the ad as the main reason
>we want the nu male audience
Men should star boycotting shows that promote feminism and hate of males.
Hogwash. My only loyalty lies with quality. Look at how quickly everyone on Yea Forums turns on a franchise, company AND console when they release one bad game.
Loyalty is a double-edged sword. If you shit on your loyal customers just enough, they'll turn that loyalty into a burning hatred.
Majority, not all.
10 million seems like very little for Gillette.
Thats like what, a million razors worldwide?
>Prefer underdog brands with good enough service
What's the opposite of brand loyalty? Like I don't usually give a fuck about brands when buying shit but if I've been burned by a company before I'll never buy their product.
have sex incels
Have children
>men are loyal to brands
that would be women. men are loyal to price:performance ratio, although personal opinions on marketing can play a factor as well--especially if it's fucking intentionally shitting on their intended audience, which for some reason SJWs seem to think will work.
Men weren't loyal to the Craftsman "brand" they were loyal to how well put together the tools were. Once they became chinked up shit, men dropped them. Men weren't loyal to Gilette as they're overpriced razors anyway, get an electric razor or cheaper disposables (or learn how to use a straight razor and shave like a MAN)
They only become "brand loyal" when the price becomes so high that you stick with what you know. Men'll stick with cars they know, with electronic brands they know. Until they get burned with a dud, that is.
There is no opposite.
Either you have brand loyalty or don't.
being burned by a brand and staying away is Common Sense
Maybe american faggots. I'm loyal to quality. I don't give a fuck about brand.
no u
that sounds like... common sense?
Who the fuck wrote this drivel? I've never read something so incorrect.
Have dilate
common sense is the single one most hated trait these days. you can literaly end up in jail if you apply common sense publicly. like you apply common sense to question about how many genders there are or if you apply common sense to if you have predjudices towards some groups of people based on very real observations
This board is basically evidence that supports this considering it's full of males who like to waste their free time engaging in console wars with anonymous strangers
Do you know how long it's been since I read something that was actually solid information? It's always just some study that makes up 70% of its terminology to produce results that in no way, shape or form holds up to any bit of scrutiny.
This shit is why I opted out of fields that involve research. There's too much horseshit.
Did you even read the entire article instead of baiting for (you)'s and spewing half truths like some propaganda news channel as CNN?
no men are loyal to brands. brainless maggots are loyal to brands. it´s been always this way
>10 million
nope, 8 billion
Jokes on them, I do not buy games and would not even pirate gears of war 5
Games aren't as fun as when you were ten years old. Who stole fun from the games?!
'Gamers': the liberal-jewish-feminist conspiracy is hoarding all the fun, censoring our free speech, forcing games to be more multicultural and so-on. If we simply 'deregulated' the industry and got rid of such things as affirmative action, the invisible hand will carry us back to the state of innocence of when I was ten years old.
'SJWs': games were fun when I was ten, but now I'm aware of insane neonazis on the Internet. The games industry really needs to be made more multicultural, like Starbucks. If major corporations simply tell gamers that racism is bad, these rednecks will have to stop openly fantasizing about rape holocaust.
Reality: games have never been 'fun', and cannot be. The capitalist system that produces them is deleterious to human existence and cannot be reformed or purified. You will never be ten years old again, and no-one can be singled out for blame.
Absolute nonsense. If this was the case girls wouldn't be tripping over themselves to buy fashion name brands. Stop listening to the psych papers, they're wrong 9/10 times.
Gamers have really been confronted with the fact that the market truly does not have their best interests at heart. It is cold, impersonal, and actively destroying them. Rather than accept this truth, they shrink from it. It is more comfortable to believe that the market's benevolence is not absent but simply misdirected towards an outgroup. As a result, the goal is to win back the market's care and attention, bringing society to a prelapsarian state. Twitter hashtags serve this purpose. Broadcasting a meme over twitter is always a means of amplifying speech and directing it at a specific entity - games companies, celebrities, the big Other, etc. These entities will then hear you, and fix things for you.
You all retards please read the image he posted before replying so you stop falling for bait.
Erasmus university is probably most well known for its economics department. They are experts at jewing. This is literally a paper on how to market items to both sexes.
Did you all miss the text in BOLD saying "girls watch faces, boys watch objects"?
Such aggressive defense, why do you write a shitty article and spread it on Yea Forums? No one here gives a fuck about you and your faggot opinion.
I thought the 8 bil was just market trends due to men realizing they don't need to spend 40$ per razor when Dollar shave club and safety razors exist
SJWs are changing and censoring games.
Gamers aren't changing or censoring games.
It's not the same.
The exact opposite is true. Who ever wrote this is a fucking moron.
>should of
>men are loyal to brands, to market to them you have to show that your product is good
>women aren't loyal to brands, to market to them instead of showing good product you create a (fake) friendly relationship with them
HURR DURR FHURR DURR
>it made a profit
That was my first reaction, but now I'm not that sure. Plenty of Netflix shows, for example, insult and disrespect males, and there's still plenty of men supporting them the same way they support female supremacism. Women are much more tribalist, and they won't watch shows that don't pander them. As a matter of facts, they'll ban or censor anything they don't like.
why are they drowning that kitten
what the fuck is wrong with japs
production budget doesn't account for things like marketing and advertisements, so no, it's almost impossible it made a profit.
*Before you include the advertising costs
Read the thread retard
The director said it needed to make $500M to break even due to the massive marketing budget.
>distorting a study to fit your narrative
Further proof that men are subhuman.
The left does this all the time they just reverse whatever is actually true.
This is how gilette lost 12 billion.
>because men are extremely loyal
Also the reason for the feminist cancer. Men are too good and females exploit it constantly.
>men are loyal to brands
you mean soicucks are loyal to brands
some retard wrote that and you're touting it as god's honest truth? kys
No, all men.
Just look at literally every hobby board on Yea Forums aside from stuff like /k/ and /diy/ and maybe /o/ (but even there there's plenty of brand loyalty.
People here are constantly flinging shit over brands, even when they're both shit.
Because men have hobbies and interests and women have nothing they just float around to whatever they can exploit
>My "hobbies" are why I need to be a good goy and defend my corporate masters
Fucking pathetic.
It's part of the reason.
>men are loyal to brands
>women buy shit that has pink bottles that costs twice as much as the male version and complain about the "pink tax"
Fkn retard. It means brand in the broad sense.
Your shitty videogame franchise is a brand. Fifa drones are the prime example.
Don't forget CoDniggers, of whom we've actually got a decent amount here on Yea Forums.
The guys here who say men don't care about brands are in so much denial that it's almost funny.
Women are still being fooled, but those pink bottles are pandering to them. Men will support products that outright treat them like garbage.
I'm pretty sure gillette's ad fucked them in the ass.
You moron, Gillette's not the only one, surely you're not this stupid.
>Men will support products that outright treat them like garbage.
>Not according to the Gillette fiasco
>OMG THAT DOESNT COUNT
Imagine being this desperate to win an internet argument. Neck yourself imbecile.
>holding females accountable
That's sexism user.
Men are loyal to brands, but so are women. Just look at WoW, it still is profitable and now they are making even more money with an old copy of the game.
They didn't cite the ad as the main reason, they said it was because of competitors like Dollar shave club. They're retarded
Ok female
with how slow some games take to come out I think they lose loyalty more often than assumed.
This would explain the console wars still being a thing despite Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo shit as much as they can in their fanbase
Okay, and according to the success of Dollar Shave Club, Battlefield, NBA 2k, just about every show on HBO, and most sitcoms, men don't really care about blatantly anti-male stuff in any media so long as it's part of a brand that they like and can consume.
What can I say, americans are cucks.
All of this also applies to Europe, since EA also owns Fifa.
Brexit happened because the UK didn't want to be part of the cuckgroup any longer.
>Men are loyal to price:performance ratio
No thats smart people. That is the minority in either genders.
Just England and Wales. Scotland's going to leave the Union and run back to daddy Germany as soon as they get the chance.
Funny you say that when japanese games are just as fun if not more fun these days
haha what?
the uk are losers and now you are going to be erased from history
wasn't the EU destroying their law culture?
Makes sense. Personally as a dude I don’t stray away from what worked the first time. But to say women aren’t guilty of brand loyalty is to ignore things like starbucks and target
to be fair, Scotland sort of always resented being conquered by the anglo-normans down south who didn't get into crazy drunken antics like wear kilts and get into brawls which could only be resolved through blood or at least seeing who can lift that fucking tree and toss it further down a field.
>making business decision by dividing between gender binary lines

Is Scotland the most cucked country of all time? how fucking cucked could you be? Ruled over for like 300 years much longer than any of englands colonies. The cuckholding has been pounded into their identity for multiple generations where they cant even stomach the thought of being independent.
We should just euthanize them desu.

>bong calling any other country cucked
>Is Scotland the most cucked country of all time?
No.
If they were, they'd stay with bongs.
Burgers?
Gillette is an exception because the went from nothing to all out woke in 1 commercial. Most companies slowly degrades to shitting more and more over their customers, which is why we have people defending DLCs and lootboxes today.
If you fail to realize the goal of any company is to make profit, and you seriously get butthurt over a commercial that doesn't actually even affect you or how you shave, then you are seriously retarded and need to grow up.
True.
Here I am, playing MHW:I even though I fucking hated the base MHW.
>A fast paced stealth game that rewards carefully thinking and fast movements
Fucking hell.
That's bullshit, the only thing women are rational about is free gibs.

Does not compute.
no scotland is the only country with some brains left.
He's just your typical male, checks out.
BFV was $30 a week after it launched.
It was $40 after a month.
>ME:A a success
>EA has killed it before they even announce a DLC
Also, I can't find a source for the "4 million".
The max figure I see is 2.5
>apparel, automobiles, financial services and home electronics
Not comparable to entertainment and especially not video games
I hate brand loyal cattle that eat up any ol shit
>Gillette is an exception because the went from nothing to all out woke in 1 commercial.
At least 2 commercials, actually. There was the one about toxic masculinity, and the one about the father teaching his trans son to shave. Gilette seemed to want to sell products to everyone BUT the only crowd who actually needs them for their faces.
then why does it want to be ruled by some country with no brains?
this is a fucking lie, women are basic bitches who will do anything for pumpkin spice or white claws.
Pretty much all of those japanese games are a variation of DMC. Even Ace Combat it's just planes Devil May Cry.
>all western shit
there's your problem. japan actually improves on their games with sequels.
>women are loyal to anything
lmao
>if you choose not to spend your money on some product because of fake morals and ethics that you don't uphold to any other company and only this one because it made a commercial you don't like you are not an adult
correct
If it's known that men are going to shave, because they have to, why does it matter if they are advertised to? You're going to buy it anyways.
Why does it matter than an advertisement, that doesn't need to be aimed at "you", isn't targeted towards you because perhaps the company does want other people to realize Gillette isn't just for men.
>Reality: games have never been 'fun'
maybe for you. for those of us who aren't jaded and depressed, there's still plenty of fun games even now. i'm trying to figure out how i'm going to make time for all the kino games that are coming out between now and next spring.
>products specifically targeted at men aren't really just for men
I'm sorry, what?
>You're going to buy it anyways.
This isn't true either. Men will have to buy razors, but they don't have to buy them necessarily from Gillette.
i ratter play DMC over and over again than space invaders
>seems like
nice weasel words. now show me the "before the price tanked" sales numbers.
>HURR BRANDS RULE
negro i haven't bought a final fantasy at launch since 12
>>months after that gilette loses 10 million and specifically site the ad as the main reason
I'd bet good money they specifically made the ad so they could blame something on millions going down the drain for some other reason
>games aren't as fun as they used to be
no you were never into the hobby to begin with. if you're bored with what you used to like then find a pallet cleaner or expand your genre horizons
Right so you can make terrible products but as long as you sell it proper to women and give them good service they'll keep buying your shity products even with planned obsolescence in mind. makes sense basically proving a lot of women are retarded.
>(WHITE) MEN ARE FUCKING PIECES OF SHIT RESPECT ALL WOMEN THE FUTURE IS FEMALE

>All the bad men in the ad were white

Yeah, sure, that's why every cunt with the manager haircut drives a Lexus or BMW their husband is paying for.
There is nothing more pathetic than a "man" who respects women.
And "men" this pathetic don't have anything to shave.
>Even Ace Combat it's just planes Devil May Cry.
i suddenly want to get into Ace Combat. Thanks I might go pick up 7 now.
Respecting anyone for what they are instead of who they are is retarded. You respect people on an individual basis when they've earned it. Everything outside this is just common manners. You can be polite to someone without respecting them.
you know most white women voted for Trump right?
yeah, like 51%
