Acerola made a 1 hour presentation establishing the context for both Stop Killing Games and the decline of the (AAA) industry as a whole.

So i dont have much money just the minimum wage, i gotta buy food, meds for both me and my sister and theres a lot of expenses. i like to achievment hunt on steam hence why i buy these games but they're getting more expensive each year. should i just start pirating ? i was thinking of buying red dead redemption remastered but its costly as fuck.

and i kinda wanted to know you guys opinions, is it worthless to 100% (platinum) games on pc since most people just use the achievment unlocker thing?

Kek but true

>If buying isn't ownership, piracy isn't theft!
I fucking hate this phrase even if buying gives you ownership who cares. If you want it for free download it for free (even if it's an indie) there is no need to justify it.

>>43386
Only a relatively small number of gamers actually know how to pirate though

>>43196
Maybe I'm retarded but whenever I search for a game on TPB it has like two seeds. And I can't find a free VPN that supports p2p.

PIRATE EVERYTHING!

>In 1983 the video game industry crashed, plunging from an estimated global market value of $42 billion in 1982 to only $14 billion in 1985. It was catastrophic for what had seemed an unstoppable industry and, like most economic crashes, spawned many myths about its causes and outcomes.

>The popular imagination blames the crash on a combination of poor-quality games (most famously, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial), the rise of home computers, and the increasing number of video game consoles for consumers to choose from. These myths have largely been accepted and perpetuated by historians, social media personalities and popular culture.

>Fast forward to 2025 and the video game industry seems to be going through another crash. Just this year alone, according to the website GamingLayoffs.com, the industry collectively has laid off 3,563 game developers. Gaming website Kotaku reports that Virtuous Ltd, the studio behind one of the biggest successes of the year with The Elder Scrolls: Oblivion Remastered, is laying off three hundred employees.

>What the crash of 1983 and the ongoing crash of 2025 have in common is that in both cases, most media, historians and social media influencers have muddied the waters on the cause and source of the crisis.

>In a way, the gaming industry is a canary in the capitalist coal mine. Video games are a sort of luxury goods – nobody ever died from not being able to play Donkey Kong Country or failing to grab the latest Call of Duty game. What this means in practice is that the capitalists who own and run the industry can be as greedy and rapacious as possible, above and beyond what they think they can get away with in more “serious” industries.

>Going back to 1983, Atari’s home version of Pac-Man – considered one of the worst games ever made – still managed to sell a total of seven million copies. Subjectively that’s an eye watering sum of units to sell; objectively it was the highest selling game the Atari console would ever sell. But despite this, Pac-Man for the Atari 2600 console reveals one of the unspoken truths about capitalism: it’s not enough to be successful. While Pac-Man sold seven million units, the corporate executives had banked on selling twelve million – that target would have required every single AtariPost too long.

>collapse of the western video game industry
didn't happen,give me one studio who collapsed

>>45190
several small studios collapsed, but you're right, that's less of a collapse, and more like a concentration of capital towards the top

>>45190
Massive layoffs since 2021

>>45209
that's just the covid/post covid boom in the market no longer being relevant,so they fire people to compensate with the hirings that happened back then

>>45034
I think you'd have a lot more indie developers under socialism. If you didn't have to work to eat every day until you die, there'd be more of a reason to dabble in programming and learn something.

In this thread we discuss dinosaurs and games that prominently featured dinosaurs. What's your favorite dinosaur game leftypol?

Body is apparently too short? What the hell more am I supposed to put here?
2 posts omitted.

jurassic park arcade 1993

>>45347
My favorite dinosaur game is Jurassic Park Operation Genesis, did anyone else here play that game?

I 'member playing Nanosaur on a Mac in elementary school. I think you play as a laser armed, jetpack equippred raptor sent back in time to retrieve dinosaur eggs. Sadly I never finished it.

I also used to have the first Fossil Fighters on the DS. It's basically Pokemon but with various prehistoric animals. Even has its own dopey team rocket equivalent that eventually gets replaced by a world destroying threat.

there is an insane amount of dinosaur and prehistoric games within roblox

>>45479
Care to recommend some?

Are gacha games another part of why a lot of young men are reactionaries? It seems like gacha gaming in general seems to be something that is supported in a lot of right-wing nations and even in China the gamers who like gacha games tend to be rather right-wing. Is this a chicken or the egg scenario though?

No. Seems like a gambling addict problem instead.

40k reads like a superhero comic disguised as a military drama.

Most of the books and official animated media focus more on spectacle, exaggeration, humour, absurdity, and hype than on believability (not realism, believability and consistency) and immersion at the cost of tonal consistency and the depth of many of its characters. This series has many issues with scaling and tension when a new world/empire threat ending pops up each edition while the imperium is written to feel nearly always reactive and in a vegetative state. The imperium was never good, but never written to be so laughably incompetent that major galaxy ending crises could casually manifest without any pushback. Remember when the imperial guard was so strong it had to be nerfed in lore? Yeah I miss when the scaling of the series wasn’t 100% catered to the astartes and the times when the authors tried to write the guard and planetary defence forces as actually useful for protecting humanity…

>>45223
It showed they were pivoting to stories that were more small-scale and character focused that didn't really advance the setting in any meaningful way. Not that theres anything wrong with those type of stories but I always found the perpetual storylines boring and kind of meaningless.

>>45224
Fuck you talking about, modern imperial guard is anything except Rambo. You know how bad they’ve been shafted in the recent books? Like at least for a time, the authors tried writing them and the planetary defence forces as actually competent and intimidating soldiers. The recent editions make it questionable why the imperium even has these guys active.

>>45225
Literally the opposite problem. Every fucking edition brings a new galaxy ending crises somehow worse than the last one where the power scaling gets even more nonsensical and absurd (apparently the emperor fought Horus through 13 dimensions or some shit in one of the newest books), entire systems are casually given Horus heresy level disaster situations for just because for narrative convenience (like how marvel seemingly has a new world ending threat every week just to find a lazy excuse to keep publishing avengers comics) at the complete cost of tonal consistency and believability in the 40k setting.

>>45227
Well if it makes you feel better it looks like they're getting ready to chuck the whole thing in the toilet and start over age of sigmar style

>>45228
Oh god this would be so funny.

dont waste money on steam- fitgirl for singleplayer games and cdkeys for multiplayer

>>45445
>cdkeys for multiplayer
Wouldn't it just be better to get it off steam since you'd have an easier time refunding it? I guess if it's being sold on their for a low enough discount it might not even matter.

> yeah bro, my games universe has magic, paranormal stuff, and mysticism that normal people interact with daily
> oh but magic, yeah that’s some elite stuff that only a conveniently select few type of people know about
9 posts and 2 image replies omitted.

I don't even see how you could implement magic in a game that's more complex than what you get in something like D&D or just being superpowers with an occult theme. Real life magical/occult practices are usually subtle and free form in how they're supposed to work. It's something I only see working narratively.

>>45026
WRONG. No gameplay loop no matter how perfect is worth anything if the world you play in is boring as shit

yeah bro, my universe has tech, industrial stuff, and machines that normal people interact with daily
oh but engineering, yeah that’s some elite stuff that only a conveniently select few type of people know about

>the older the weapon the greater magical power can be infused
>archeologists run black markets for ancient weapons to enchant
I like the idea of Sorceror Kings with magic copper swords running around the same setting as Fudds with great grandpa's colt model army that has homing bullets or some other blessing.

>>45160

my bf wants to go back to make that game but we need funding and more people cus the project got too big

>>45098

i made another worldbuilding thing like that but it was like a "planet of the apes" thing where different types of monkeys had different era periods of society but buffed like, chimps had a wild west civilization while gorillas lived like mongols with giant bows.

I decided to create this general for TCOAAL since 4chan is currently out of service so discuss about TCOAAL or any of Nemlei's other games.
