Gamergate was the watershed moment
It marked a wide shift not only in terms of marketing but also the type of person who consumes the medium as well.
How so
Most of my friends in college who "game" are into a select few video games. Apex, COD, GoW 2018, Cyberpunk. Much more of a wide casual audience now compared to the early 00s. The type of people who brought their gameboy colors and Pokemon to school are a lot different than these kinds of people. Also in terms of marketing, look at pic related. Used to be extremely edgy and had balls. Where would you see something like this today?
These kind of ads were interesting to be as it almost gives off a "counter-culture" vibe. After gamergate there's a lot less emphasis on this kind of aesthetic.
yea now advertising is all fortnie bright colors and zany and cartoony. very strange.
Because games now are not underground, and/or companies don't want to be underground. Wider audience, more sales, appeal to the public, etc., etc.
Yup. Why create something different when it hurts your bottom line?
well maybe they shouldn't make game dev be so expensive
indie and AA devs can do it, the main thing fricking them in the ass is the lack of experience
Shit comic
Advertising is remarkably ineffective for selling products or "changing opinions"; those are fact very subsidiary aims. It's mostly intended to inject a carefully curated range of physiognomies and alien racial types deep into your brain. It's a biogeographic assault.
Best one was PSP white edition.
I thought that word was censored
This
As the articles always said, "Gamers are dead." The industry is experiencing a renaissance.
Gamer gate buck broke the internet by crating a bunch left and right wing grifters low IQ morons take seriously,and the left leaning ones are wining cuz the right has only white trash like pick related...
>ecelebs fail and get made fun of
>meanwhile the rest of Ganker.
The absolute state of Ralph and his circle of future enemies is entertaining at the very least. You couldn't write this stuff
Lets be real. Gamers lost to Gamergate. Gamergate was the worst thing that could have happened to gaming. A lot of people didn't think SJW's would infiltrate video games but look where we're at now.
>Gamergate was the worst thing that could have happened to gaming.
lmao get off social media for 5 minutes, zoomie
I'm being real. Fighting corrupt video game journalist? And it immensely backfired when they cried about their Ganker boogeyman doxxing everyone involved. Don't be a moron.
This
Didn't expect things to get so bad. Still, I'm glad it happened.
You seem like a waste of space yourself since you keep complaining about games and never do anything about it.
Project some more, troony, and shut the frick up
The fact that the industry as a whole suddenly turned against all that stuff which was a good thing, but now another group of morons who don't actually like video games started being in control.
The cult of social responsibilty and some of the NES generation hitting their 40s.
Explain "The Gamer" personality to me.

Sleep
Game

I paused my game to be here
>'gamers are dead'
It's not really gone. It's just that gaming media collectively decided they weren't doing that anymore. I'm sure Pissed of Pedro is still doing his thing. It's not like these people just went away.
Social justice virtue signalling while behind the scenes they were degenerates and narcissists.
It's not dead, the homosexuals that laughed at cake is a lie and pretend zelda or pokemon is the best game of all time despite only playing like 5 games total have moved on to anime.
The downfall of society.
It's funny how they tried to #MeToo him, he just simple lawyered up and carried on like nothing is happening.
Everyone tried to be nostalgia critic/AVGN
Theangryjoeshow has really gone to shit
Cringe
seven dollars
It didn't die, it levelled up.
am i the only one who still regularly watches angryjoe?
yeah
Not a fan of his new gamer crib and regurgitated new segments. Liked it more when he was making video and streams from his house with just Joe.
Reality. People grew up. Most people aren't developmentally stunted.
probably something to do modern games being embarassing trash that nobody in their right mind would want to be identified as playing on a regular basis
