Because it was a bunch of young guys making stuff they thought was cool, now it's a bunch of old people telling drones to make something profitable.
This.
And not just "drones". women drones which is even worse.
These would have been considered nerds and social outcasts back in the 80s and 90s.
>social outcasts
most of these guys were settled down with wife and kids when this pic was taken. they were nerds sure but not outcasts.
Yes, and?
John Romero and John Carmack both were heavily influential and popular in the 80s. Neither would've been considered Outcasts, and considering they both helped make some of the most iconic games and gaming systems, which goes beyond just gaming culture, I doubt you'd ever compare homosexual
>he makes videogames
>woah... that's like so cool!
That's what the media, you know the thing directly competing with games in the entertainment industry, wanted you to believe
>That Crowbcat video
Which one
My guess is the Halo one where it shows the contrast between the original Bungie devs and the 343 devs who took over and shit the bed
Any of them, really.
But the answer is this one
God I just watched it. Decay is inevitable, Halo should've stopped at Reach. I played a ton of Halo 5 and it was just not the same. I remember my dad bought Halo 2 and I would play that on the Xbox all the time.
It's pretty wild that in 1992 a game studio looks like this.
you realize it's the archetypal basedpic?
haha i didnt even notice
No moron there's a very clear difference.
>onions pics
"Whoa bro, I'm so quirky. Lol check out my shitty games.
Uh I'm socially malformed, let me do a quirky smile LOL"
>top pic
Only one guy is onions facing, and even then, he's clearly exaggerated and trying to be funny, as my Black person John is. Rest are calm, guy on right is trying to be an edge lord but still maintain a professional image
So tl;dr
SOUL
Soulless
It wasn't as corporate the suits ruin everything
How did they manage to keep Carmack's autism in check?
They didn't that's why inevitably they split
Also Romero was kind of a slacker and a hothead.
They were probably more racist and thats a good thing
probably because the gamer community is entitled, moronic, and extremely ungrateful.
They still look more masculine than most devs and gaymers now days hahahahha
Why do chuds think they're welcome here?
Yup. Nerds from the 80s and 90s would make the "chads" from today cry
ESG didn't exist back then.
20 years ago, all the best and brightest went into game development. This was the tip of the spear.
Today, this is no longer the case. Game development is seen as pleb tier employment now. So the best and brightest do not go into it.
Using this logic you will see that even though it is now 20 years later, games are significantly worse.
It is important you understand this, so you understand why modern games are shit and why they are never going to get better.
>20 years ago, all the best and brightest went into game development.
not at all, but there was a higher barrier for entry that meant that more artists and programmers ended up making games than now
It's far better to go work in social media, AI, streaming, youtuber. Nobody wants to be a game dev these days unless they make graphics or music.
Most of Capcom's 80s and 90s devs were either high school or vocational school graduates, once they started hiring more college graduates in the 2000s the president told the old head of R&D flat out to his face "These days' I'd never hire someone like you."
the president told that to an old guard employee?
Smaller teams. You lose the soul when a project moves from a dozen or so people to legions of suits
were they actually cool?
cooler than the basedboys and HR nannies that make games today
why did devs back then look much older than people now?
Go find some videos on youtube of high schools in the late 80s and early 90s to have your mind blown. To have it completely obliterated, try to find some of high schools in the 70s.
I've seen some. Zoomers really look like toddlers in comparison. What happened?
Lead out of gasoline and paint, probably. Oh maybe those whackos talking about estrogen being snuck into people are correct too.
>all whites
>metal posters
No wonder the games were soulful
You had to know more than how to add stock assets in a game engine
because they made games that they would want to play.
Not a single jarring / forced basedboy gaping smile.
Im not lying when I say that the old nerds were more masculine than current nerds.
I am more and more realising that gatekeeping is actually a good thing
Higher skill floor, you didn't have tons of libraries, documentation, shit like stack overflow, engines, youtube tutorials and good hardware back then. Only the real ones who understood how to code could develop games. Now you can literally copy paste entire functions from stack overflow and just watch 3 tutorials on how to write something, even a moron can "code" and it attracts all the trannies and women who get hired due to diversity.
RIP
>you will never have your face blocked by some b***h in a group photo, and then have some guy 20 years later point it out
id created the engines their games ran on and that informed the creative decisions of the game design. teleportation in Doom is how spans were justified, and that formed the teleportation plot of every major FPS in the 90s from Quake to Half Life
everyone today just uses Unity, the games are less inspired
Bunch of sissy liberals, brainwashed by "higher education" most definitely atheists because they're fighting back against their parents for taking them to church as children. Doing some fake job like making computer games.
I see the downfall of Western society in this image.
>moron thinks this is cool.
Even back then they were awkward outcast nerds, you huge fricking homosexual.
Romero is a brown pozzed cuck making cringy anti-Trump, pro-troony, pro-spearchucker posts on twitter.
Developers were never based. They were always pozzed filth brainwashed by "higher education".
If you want to save your children from this, never let them touch video games. I'm certainly not going to.
Get a job
Frick game development. Just go into IT and become a part time fire fighter for your morality points.
>IT
lol that field will be massively replaced by machine learning, self diagnosing and repairing systems in 5-10 years.
this is the funniest post I've read all day, hilarious.
I think Kojima said it best in one of his podcasts that the sweetspot of success is when you are doing well enough to get a budget but not successful enough for the devs to have to meet the money man's huge expecations on them. AA or low tier AAA budgets should be the standard and not the corpo products AAA gaming has become.
lack of filler required-by-law workers
>bunch of virgins wh*toids
*yawn* so cool
It's weird how american studios had no women in them, compared to euro and japanese studios where there was always at least one.
She's there to comfort the men, America doesn't have such positions in white collar offices.
Which one?
They were le epic hackers turning boring word processor box into hell demon slaying machine. Now they’re illiterate NPCs churned out of fast food game designs schools who think Pokemon is the pinnacle of gaming.
they were passionate pioneers not degree mill NPC nepobabies
Didn't AMC have some techy early computing show that I image explains this, as well as all computer shit in ancient times?
Man... what happened to Naughty Dog?

Well that's dumb, let's try this.
You used to have to be smart and dedicated. Now you just have halfassed midwits making games.
There were no fricking Black folk or gays with axe wounds, next thread
Normalgays making games, now weirdos make games.
