Elon Musk is a minor super hero villain that gets killed in the middle of a shitty story arc by a bigger b list villain. 

He is not even Maxwell Lord type. Yeshrug

Isn't that the point of work, do what you're told?

Yes, but you forgot the important part...do what you're told in exchange for money.

Until we start publicly funding important games like Concord, and actively incentivizing people to play these games (real life rewards from the government for time spent in game), I'm afraid we're at the mercy of this brutal capitalist market system.

Like Dustborn apparently. How's that working out?

What's the point of these games if people aren't interested in playing them? Some sort of Development House Welfare system?

How many carrots would you need to give Nepenthe and friends to work on a Concord sequel?

Quote:Really side-eyeing many of the responses here. I'm one of the vocal few that absolutely loved Concord here yet this place was inundated with endless derision and hate for the game.

So honestly after the internet mocked the game , it's numbers and the devs…NOW we're concerned about Sony shutting them down?
This is a really funny kind of humblebrag. "Yeah, I loved this historically massive failure, but you guys weren't even wrong about its failure to achieve mass appeal!" Egomaniac

Rampant victimization (as a sign of the Good) probably appeals to the mindset because it's just an inverse of their belief that they and they alone (or at least a select Chosen) are a true fan who understands it more than anyone else (especially normies) and will go see it at the theater 20 times or buy all the editions or whatever.

Quote:Damn, even though Concord was a flop they could have had Firewalk remaking the Resistance series ASAP and they could have had those done in like a year. $70 * (atleast) 10,000,000 copies is $700,000,000 = Concord losses erased.
What is this?

Not even a surface level of understanding of how the business works, how retail works, how development works and how much Sony is trying to erase the stain of Concord from everyone's collective memory.

Quote:I think it's an actually an example of how releasing on PC kinda backfired. The game was clearly geared toward controller players and much of the online discourse pointed toward the game costing money and plenty of free games being available in the same genre, which might be true on PC but it certainly isn't on PS5. Then we have the game's beta failure being a spectator sport via steam concurrent numbers just after, which was essentially the start gun for YouTuber circlejerks, hate watching and chuds supremacy - the game was largely ignored before that, which is bad in its own right.

I'm still so salty about this, not really with Sony shutting them down, but more the gaming community relishing the situation for the lols and how often I hear people say it's about the gameplay but are ready to kill a game because of one or two character models (nobody talks about Kyps because she's the GOAT) without uttering a word about gameplay. The same types bitch and moan about yearly COD or a lack of innovation but it's just yap in the end.
Holy fuck, blaming the PC users  lol

You're not wrong on the tenor of the previous and current thread. Some of the absolutely fixation on TransEra, and some posters specifically, is a bit creepy, but when people start throwing around 'KYS' and shit, you've lost the plot in my book, as tattered as it may be. Its to my own discredit and cowardice I don't call it out. Maybe its just my morality, but my gall with ERA on the whole is hypocrisy and self-righteousness, not them being trans. 

Just want to say that I agree with every single word you said, JoeBoy101 (and also agree, do stick around ComeAgain, you're a good poster), and it's something I found I was becoming guilty of too. A couple of weeks ago, GameBoy Nostalgia's post made me realise I was targeting Melody Shreds a little too much and I have completely stopped posting about him. He's ultimately weird and harmless.

However, I would make a counter-point: The reason TheBore focusses on TransEra is pretty simple: they have taken over ResetEra.

Kyuuji, Clicky Cal, Volimar, plagiarize and a handful of other vicious voices, have managed to become such dominant loudmouths in the past 3 years that they have reshaped the entire discourse of ResetEra. Just a small group of people have the power to get anyone they dislike dogpiled on and, 99% of the time, banned.

Even now, we have the ridiculousness of one of the best selling games of all time, Hogwarts Legacy, referred to as 'The Wizard Game' by people in their late 30's and 40's for fear of upsetting TransEra.

So it's only natural that the loudest, nastiest voices command the greatest attention here on TheBore. Bullies get noticed.

Edit: Also, regarding the 'KYS' comments here on TheBore, I can't speak for the posters who have said that, but I'm pretty sure it's said out of frustration. A way of saying 'shut up and go away', not meant literally. At least, I hope so.

Anyway, it's getting a bit heated in here so here's some retro Jenni McCarthy boobs to take the tension off:

[Image: fQmkjRM.gif]

I have a vague recollection of using the term more than once in various contexts, so I'm probably one of the offenders. Rest assured it's something closer to what Venice is saying rather than actually wishing death upon weird internet people. I've noted your comment and will try to use different expressions in the future.

More and more, personality cults are deciding our elections and laws. Which poses an existential danger when those voices are bankrolled by foreign dictators.

Future historians may look back at this moment in time and make the same conclusion: the world is at war.

We are at war with the cult of personality - the Donalds, the Elons.

While it doesn't mirror past World Wars, we are battling mass disinformation, resisting social manipulation, and fighting for the future of democracy. The war of today looks more like an episode of Jerry Springer than Saving Private Ryan.

Quote:Oh so we're shifting the blame on PC now, ignoring the fact that Sony's biggest gaas title also launched on PC day 1. Or how Destiny 2 found success on PC launch despite being a very console centric game with $60 price tag back then.

Concord never got the attention it needed even since the first gameplay reveal on SoP. People simply didn't care about it. That's it.
Quote:I'm pointing to the truisms spoken about the game that are still repeated even in this thread by YouTubers, streamers and even reviews of the game which talk about the 40 price point being too much when there are free games that are available doing the same, going into a crowded genre, etc. On PS5 I'm pretty sure that's like Apex and Overwatch 2, and I can't remember any other games really other than Fortnite. The finals maybe? I wouldn't compare them personally.

My point was how PC centric the complaints around the game were as a PS5 player who literally doesn't have a game like Concord to play, whilst being told I can play loads of games like this for free. Do you understand? It's not as simple as *blaming* but the concurrent number thing is weird ngl.

The game was hated from the initial showing, largely in part of the animosity towards Sony having the temerity to make their own GaaS titles. (Square that with Destiny 2 and Helldivers lol)

Fairgames won't get a chance and Marathon will. TLOU online would get a chance but this wouldn't. GT8 will somehow avoid being seen as a GaaS despite being the third game in the series to be one. I'm kinda past the point of making sense of all this tbh gamers suck.

Quote:There's been some rhetoric in otherwise decent YT channels just shitting on Concord and Firewalk for delivering "a turd no one wanted".

It's this kind of rhetoric that I fucking hate. The gaming community is so insanely harsh to game devs, despite them being the people making the games everyone loves.

Meanwhile, streamers get lots of love, donations, and even get sent free games for god knows what reason.

I have no beef with streamers specifically, but I see the difference in how streamers and content creators are treated vs. game devs, and it's just disgusting to me.

People should not be kicking Firewalk's now ex-employees while they're down. They worked hard to make something, and it didn't resonate with the gaming community. These assholes are acting like it's so elementary, and they're a bunch of morons for thinking the game would do well.

I truly feel for the people at Firewalk, and I hope they land on their feet. It's a harsh time in the game industry right now, with people losing their jobs left, right and center, and I just hope that we all make it through in the end.
Yeah, games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy.  Oh, right you went after the devs of those games because a helicopter joke and because it's a Harry Potter WHICH the game has a trans character.

Well, I would. Because not only is The Finals a much larger population game and a deliberately developed GaaS game from well known people, the main difference between them (other than team size) is that it's not a character shooter only a class shooter. Pretty much everybody makes non-binary characters because you can put anything on any body type. lol

But also think about how Nepenthe would respond to you calling her the gamer word, she'd love that, that's what she wants you to do. But going at her delusional persona, either with a scalpel or a hatchet, without any bigotry is not just what she fears, it's pretty much her central paranoia about life itself. People wanting to make art easier aren't just doing that, no, they're declaring war on her personally. Sure she doesn't produce any commercial art in the first place but that's just proof of how successful their war on her is. Same with "whites" and "capitalists" it all comes back to Nepenthe's central place in the universe and everyone else's jealousy and anger at her for her divine importance. Slurs, and bigotry in general, play into that story she tells herself. Holding her accountable for her actions with a mirror or reality or whatever while not drifting into signs of hatred is the real dagger in the ribs. Repeat across that entire forum. It's why this place is comparatively verboten while Kiwi Farms is a useful boogie-man and constant enemy on the horizon. 

So while I may not ban or filter (more) slurs, nor the people who get around the existing filters or use terms that maybe could be filtered, I do look down at it. And tut-tut at how uncouth you garbage deplorables are. Be better, savage their delusional personalities not their meaningless demographic characteristics. Oh, and end genocide (of progressive gaming studios). Snob

I don't like it when people here use slurs or tell others to kill themselves.
