Have vidya companies stopped shilling to their core audiences?

They stopped shilling that when the normalfags didn't bite, now they are 180'ing so hard its no longer windows 10/xbone exclusive.

Personally it happened before that in 2005/6, when video games became more mainstream. Because of that people who never played a game before or who jumped on because it became "trendy" were fine with shit that was and wasnt allowed before.

Have you stopped being a faggot who only posts stupid garbage rants that we've all seen before? This isn't your blog.

So from where do you hail, user, reddit or SA?

Has anyone noticed she's literally holding her shirt like Bane?

This meme is exquisite.

I wish the marketing departments realized that the whole wide target audience thing is fucking retarded and doesn't work. Look at GTA 5, it's not any more casual than GTA 4 or even San Andreas and it sold fuck ton. And look at WoW for another example. Ever since Blizzard merged with Activision they went full jew and streamlined the FUCK out of the game. Now the game is fucking dead and this next expansion they are going all out with the pandering, going as far as giving ashbringer to every fucking player. Maybe after this expansion fails they finally get a fucking grip and release legacy servers or something.

Why isn't wide target audience thing working? I think it works very well, you sell some game, you get fans that will buy the next game so you start pandering to wider audience because those aren't planning to buy the next game yet, profit! Quality and variety means nothing as long as its an established brand/genre, has core features and polished. You aim for more sheeple (wide audience) to buy your streamlined crap (a game every year) with a lot of extra options to earn more money (DLC). I think it's just as simple and stupid as it sounds…

Stop that stupid meme, sage is "to not bump". Obviously if someone doesn't like the thread even though the thread is good and he's a fagget that someone doesn't want to bump it.

WoW got bigger and bigger audiences every single time they dumbed down the game, though. Doesn't help that MMOs were traditionally designed around mega-autists in the first place, but gradually realised there's a shitload more people who just want to hit wolves while pretending to be an elf for a couple hours each night.
