Why is the American Gaming Industry in decline? A space faring game that has been in development for the last 25 years literally just released and got mediocre reviews while a game released by a small Belgian developer has been getting raving for its brilliance and setting a new standard in the gaming industry.

I'd wager that it has something to do with all the paywalls, pay-to-win mechanics, and microtransactions. Bean counters ruining yet another interest.

the truth is people know this stuff is bad for you now. there's no more delusion that its
>just a hobby
or
>something the old folks dont understand
because parents today all grew up with this shit. they know.

and there's just not enough money left over after development to wage the kind of marketing blitz it would require to reverse that narrative.

It's not really an American thing, it's a AAA thing. As games become larger the financial risk for releasing a flop becomes unthinkable so they instead pick the safest formulas possible that they know will capture a wide audience, settle for mediocrity and take in acceptable returns on a billion dollar investment.

minorities and women are not creative and can not make games

[Anonymous No.55992191]

Because the prevailing Corporate ethos of the twenty-first century is that it's Marketing that actually makes money, and the fact that you need to actually have a thing to sell is regarded as an inconvenient nuisance, a begrudgingly-accepted necessity that one should strive to cut corners on as much as possible.
The gaming industry is not unique, it's just another variation on the general theme of our era.

It's about comprehensive data collection. The demographic that is on 4chan is for the most part nowhere else, it's usually a deviation from the normal faggot herd, therefore by far more valuable. But their models are shit, and they are fed on all ends with false feedback

Jews and Faggots. That’s the actual reason. I would say niggers, but they didn’t ask for over representation in modern games, Jews and faggots did it.

What happened is that the Nerdy white guys, who are perfectly fine when left to themselves, started making serious money with games, and more people started playing games instead of watching TV. That attracted various parasites (Jews, faggots, certain sorts of women) wanting a cut of the money, and to spread their propaganda. The nerdy whites did not have the social skills to handle those interlopers, who have degraded them to their current sorry state.

Unironically, most of the time, the only reason those games shipped is because someone's wife or a "secretary" acting essentially as a producer kept shit in line.

The video game industry as a whole has stagnated, mostly because there's nothing revolutionary being done anymore. A big part of it is because a lot of the big ideas have already been done by now. Couple that with enormous budgets that mandate a very low tolerance for taking risks, you get the state of the video game industry.

It's the inevitable trajectory of any groundbreaking industry. We're in a mature phase of the video game industry where everything has become infected with corporate interests taking priority over the creative spark from developers. The golden age happened because we were in the optimal range of developers have access to enough resources and money where they could realize their creative ambitions, and they weren't completely shackled by their corporate masters. We remember the golden age because quite often you can reflect on those games and wonder "how did they get away with that?" These days video games are the most predictable, safe products and nothing surprises players anymore.

It's the lack of competition. The whole world just can't compete with the billion dollars American gaming industry.
Japanese gaming industry used to be able to compete (that was why 1990s-2010s gaming was kino) but now they're in stagnation because the stagnation of their economy starts to bite them. Without any competition the American gaming industry does minimum effort to improve quality because people would buy them anyway.
I mean look at the movie industry, 2010s was so lame, bunch of superheroes and remakes. Now it's starting to pick up once Korean movies starts to penetrate the global movie industry and the likes of Netflix funded many kino thirld world movies.

I guess we have no choice but to wait until new players emerges in the gaming industry.

I prefer metaverse games Anon. Its more immersive and captivating. Been playing the Jungle Chase, Pixel Ripped 1995: On the Road, and a few others on Holoride VR tech and I feel VR gaming is the next thing in the gaming industry.

its story telling, something people have done for 1000s of years. imagine someone saying there is nothing left to tell after odyseus was released.

there are good indie games for every genre but you really have to dig for this stuff and most people dont have the time nor want to try several games until they find the one that is fun.

I game with my kids a small amount. They only game with me. We play the same things I played as a kid/teen before they had streamlined all the dopamine shit. Part of the problem is the huge back catalogue you can obtain anything for essentially nothing and it runs in a potato

I don't even entertain the thought of playing AAA games and haven't since Skyrim. Plenty of great indie games that don't have a political agenda. Spacebourne 2 is infinitely superior to Star field and it's made by a single (white) Dev. Also, Todd Howard is a pathological lying homosexual manlet.
