>Can someone explain the recent trend of game studios posting long apologies on twitter?
Being transparent about issues is a good PR move, but when a game is so shit it'd be better if they just kept quiet about
esg forces them to hire more women, so they hire less competent coders yet more hr roasties and troony """community managers""", worthless office parasites who just sit around drinking coffee and posting on twitter about ukraine and BLM
So why not just make them like they did in 2010? The fact that remasters of games made in 2010 still sell like hotcakes should tell publishers that people are fine with 2010 graphics and gameplay.
Like look at Gollum. No one gives a shit about an AA stealth game taking advantage of Unreal 5 expensive features. Just make it look like a game from 2010 and price it appropriately as the AA game it is.
>I don't think the average consumer realizes how exponential the scope of games has become
fricking reduce the scope then instead of releasing literal garbage jesus christ
almost nobody is asking for literal real life simulators like these asinine devs keep trying to make. That rockstar comparison is so moot, the GTA model is outdated as frick
>That rockstar comparison is so moot, the GTA model is outdated as frick
I don't get what you morons mean when you say that shit. GTA V managed to be the best selling game for 2 generations in a row and still on the top 10 this gen as well. If this is outdated then all studios should aspire to be as outdated since that's clearly what people want.

Especially funny when you look at the popularity of games like Minecraft Lol and Counter strike.
All games over a decade old and all are extremely popular.
i was about to make that CS reference but you beat me to it
highest played game on steam rn and all these devs keep making the same open world slop simulators
I'm less interested in the pattern being mocked, and more interested in how many devs may seethe with hate when they see the meme and are forced to look at said pattern as a meme
Fred here in PR for Game Studio. Yeah I designed that apology letter. Spent hours coming up with the color scheme and font choice for the letter (well it was more like 30 minutes and then 7 and a half hours sending dick pics on Snapchat just don't tell my boss hahaha). Fricking management was so impressed by the response on Twitter they gave me a raise and a bonus. Should have seen that homosexual Steve from the QA department. The look on that little b***h boy's face when I told him I was taking some PTO next week for a cruise to the Bahamas with my bonus while he was going to be stuck working overtime was fricking priceless.
tldr the left cant meme
Can someone explain the recent trend of game studios posting long apologies on twitter?
Pleading for sympathy. "We're just poor little game developers, please don't hate us because you spent 70 dollars on our dog shit"
>Can someone explain the recent trend of game studios posting long apologies on twitter?

To placate the morons who mass buy their shit into thinking that they actually care about the consumer.
>we're working on it, please help us meet our shareholder demands :^)
>month later
>oh so sowwy the game is now in maintenance mode
this is how AAA operates now
Is that really new? We've had youtubers with apologize videos at the ready when they mess up. It's something you expect them to do out of courtesy.
esg forces them to hire more women, so they hire less competent coders yet more hr roasties and troony """community managers""", worthless office parasites who just sit around drinking coffee and posting on twitter about ukraine and BLM
Management is shitting bricks and ordered some dyke in HR to type up something, anything.
Apparently this shit worked for some company somewhere.
morons fall for it
ChatGPT
just some PR bullshit. normies are still buying these games so publishers have no incentive to actually release working titles.
Those pictures aren't really as funny as the real apologies
never buy AAA at this point
also never buy games made by Black personhomosexuals devs who are known to do this(like fatshark)
>at this point
>2023
18 years late
>18 years
What game broke you?
add it to the list
stop buying open world games

I don't care how it sells, open world garbage is dead
every time someone posts how LE BIG gta 6's map is on Ganker I will shitpost, deal with it
You are free to deny reality as much as you want, but the next time you open Amazon this PS3 game will be there.
