Why do corporate perceive gamers as idiots?

[isturbo1984]

Most popular game on PC: Battle Royale with microtransactions. Most popular SERIES of games on mobile: Brain dead clickers, mandatory guy with open face in the thumbnail, grind with heavy push for microtransactions. Consoles: Montly payment for multiplayer for PS4, XBOX One I heard multiplayer is free? Still, consoles are terrible if you expect to have FREEDOM.

What is there to play? I will not talk about specific games. PC: Arena like shooter focused around camping the spots and painted weapons. Mobile: 30 different copies of card battle arena with animated characters from cards. Consoles: Open world games/exclusives, shit ton of old games that are $5 on PC but $30+ on the consoles.


Even if you pay for the most expensive graphic card I hope you plan to use it to render graphics because there does not seem to be anything interesting to play. When did we start game rebrandings and reboots instead of original content? Why most of those games offer nothing but aim to exploit addictions? t. sad

Just thought I'd re-post k4far's original thread since it got locked for being in the wrong forum. There. I literally did the mod's job for them. Why is this so hard?

Ha ha omg and you called me a shitposter good stuff though keep it up. Corporations treat people as wallets. Stop buying they will change their strategy.

And now I call you a hypocrite too. Maybe next time save your "ha ha omg" for when I make a spam thread comprised of nothing by a lazy link like you did, since we are using you as an example of of shiptosting. Also, maybe stay on topic too? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

*blinks* I already thought the title seemed familiar. GJ mods!

But back on topic, I'll just copy/paste my reply to that thread.

they dont perceive gamers as idiots: they perceive their consumers as idiots. I think there is a real distinction to be made between gamer and a *insert term for person who wants to game for the heck of it* and who doesnt care to be educated on why a game or a practice in a game is bad.
