According to SteamSpy, PUBG has 26,000,000 copies, plus or minus a few hundred thousand

Because people wanted to play it.

Because normalfags had shit taste since the dawn of time.

/thread
The almighty dollar has spoken.

...

PUBG is the first game that's available in china from the get-go and doesn't require special socialist snowflake perfect world servers that are cut off from the rest of the world.

That's a reddit-tier non-answer right there.

The truth is always inconvenient

That's not a very honest answer, Chinks aren't people.

Low Standard retards.

Memories

But it really should have more features than it does.

They never knew the fun of quake tf/unreal multiplayer/counterstrike/ TF. now they hype this and it takes off just like the others did but with more internet users than ever. add in a bit of random wep placement and exploration instead of a small arena

/thread, shit game but normalfags have money to shit out

But you didn't give an answer.

Yeah but how many players are active?

It doesn't matter. It only matters for subscription/ingame purchase based game income.

Yeah no, it's 80% chinks paying $5 or something. Then Chink companies take 25%, Chink government takes 10%, Valve takes 20% and devs get rest.

Sales don't correlate with quality. Never have. Quality can influence publicity, but publicity in the absence of quality will still sell games.

The devs don't give a shit. They're already rich and don't need to ever work ever again

Valve takes 30% like the fucking subhuman worthless Jews they are

Tencent has a hold of it, expect it to climb and also promote Chinese values now

People want to play a game.
So they buy it.

Want of good = higher sales
I don't know what you want more

You want me to tell you it's awful? That people only buy it because some dude that streams told them to buy it? Truth is people simply like playing it.

I FUCKING HATE THESE PEOPLE WHY THE FUCK WOULD ANYONE PLAY THIS PILE OF UTTER GARBAGE HOLY SHIT THEY DESERVE DEATH ALL OF THEM EVERY LAST ONE OF THEM DEATH DEATH DEATH DEATH!!!

China. When they say there's 40 gorillion people playing these games, what they mean is that there's a ton of chinks playing it in net cafes. There's still a few million bought by western gamers, but a lot of those are because of a different cancer in the industry.. Streamers.

Blame China. Tencent is owned by CCP officials so of course more shekels for them is the order.

You call it garbage just because it's popular.

ironic shitposting is still shitposting

Its a simple pickup and play game, no reason to have any autism about it prior.
you can have never heard of it and be playing within minutes because its a very simple game, 3rd/FPS shooter, crouch, run, aim, shoot. that's it, you can now play the game with some competence.

if you want to get autistic about the game you can and some people do.

People want to use a fidget spinner.
So they buy it.

Want of spin = higher sales

You're not blowing our minds by telling us that people chose to spend their money on something they thought they wanted. The question isn't how the purchased it, but why people are prone to jumping on shitty meme games that they should not be okay with paying anything for, let alone playing for hundreds of hours.

It took a concept that hadn't really been applied to that extent for a videogame.
Streamers and other fags picked up on the game and word of mouth spread around. Its unpolished and barebones state was excused by being in early access (and people still use it as an excuse today despite it's now officially released).

Sometimes normalfags enjoy playing a shitty game that makes crap like Neptunia look good.

Gpddamn. Best selling game ever on steam?

archive.is/1Z3sx
reminder that Tencent has exclusive rights to publishing the game in China, which is why the game will be modified to have pro-socialist messages in it as said, and links to.

i believe it's something to do with "people want game, people buy game"

Because it's not a shitty meme game. It's an okay game.
People are acting as if it's completely unplayable.

How many hours do you have in it

It is if your name is DSP.

I think this game shares a lot with gambling: few chances to win but everyone starts equal.
The gameplay is a perfect mix of strategy ,skill and luck, which makes people addict to start a new game each time they lose. When you watch people play PUBG, most of the time the hardest part for them is to stop.

the majority of steam users are chinese (56% circa november iirc), and pubg seems to be a game that appeals very much to the chinese. out here it mostly seems to appeal to streamer types

YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE NIGGER, GET THE FUCK OUT NOW. REPORTED FOR SUPPORTING CANCER

I don't even have it.

I'm just seeing people just going fucking crazy over a game being successful as if there's supposed to be some higher meaning to it and I really don't fucking get it.


Are you seeing this shit? It's like this game killed their mom

China allows it

go to bed user

It's ___fun___

destruction physics would be nice.

just tell us

...

It's kind of like browsing Holla Forums, there's only a good thread once a month let's say, but you keep coming everyday since 2014.

At best and on a good day, the game is functional.. But it's a boring, repetitive, zero depth meme game. Same as Day Z and H1Z1 and every other shitty survival deathmatch mod being marketed as an early access game in development on steam. The only thing remarkable about is that it's managed to find such success, and even that can be largely explained by the Chinese market finally opening up to more games… which Tencent has a monopoly in anyways.

HOW FUCKING NEW ARE YOU?!
Goddamned cuckchan retards. I fucking swear. This shit is not hard to understand. No one should be complacent with shitty games dominating the market, setting trends, and being rewarded for being mediocre streamerbait bullshit. This is how lootboxes and microtransactions and DLC have managed to corrupt the industry. It's shit like this that has people praying for an industry crash, just so we can undo the damage done by brainlets like you who encourage this cancerous fuckery.

Used to be worth the money.

I still have fond memories of the original Borderlands and Fable TLC, and Fable2

I am actually being payed by player unknown himself to work from his basement to tell people that the game is okay on thailandese hentai forums

Had to take the job after being fired by Hillary from correct the record


I'm not asking why people are shitting on it for no reason, I'm asking why the fuck people are going fucking crazy over an okay game that is functional if not repetitive.
Jesus Christ look at your fucking reactions

Go back to chinese twitter you slopes.

You're not being reasonable and level headed. You're being a dense retard and completely ignoring the things being said directly to you.

i don't think anyone is "defending" it, it's more like a bunch of people are interpreting "it has potential to be fun when it's not being shit" or "people bought it because they wanted it" as "this is the best game ever xD"

I've been playing MW2 and Halo Reach lately. There's still a dedicated handful of players so you can usually find matches. CoD4 probably does too.

get out

I don't know what to tell you.
Look at any list of the most sold videogames and you'll find that most of them are just kind of mediocre okay games.

Wii Sport, Pokemon, Skyrim, New Super Mario Bros, Diablo 3 and the list goes on and on.
This isn't anything new.
None of these games excel at anything. But everybody has to act like this is the first ever time a game that doesn't deserve it finds success.

Breaking News, cunt, amazingly good games almost never never sell as much as okay games.

I abused the steam refund policy to give this a whirl for free and let me tell you it is indeed a steaming pile of shit
It is objectively SHIT

You're not one to be criticizing another's taste.

...

t. noobtuber

You are a literal monkey

...

playerunknown is the most autistic username ever and I think he should have been kneecapped with something for actually putting that shit in the title.

Well since mark ignored requests to moderate and subsequently banned the undertale threads because he got fanny blistered there's very few good threads on Holla Forums
But it's not like there's not otherways to have fun on Holla Forums

How in the world do you think you're giving some sort of revelation? We know, that doesn't mean it's not fucking annoying when it happens.

This. BattleGround by itself is a weak-ass title but he had to go full faggot with it. Cunt of a guy who made a cunt game with a cunt name. Fuck him.

The reactions here aren't of annoyment, that's my point

I'm pretty sure it's a joke since PUBG doesn't have dedicated servers as far as I know, and doesn't reveal host.

It doesn't matter, with almost 1 billion they could make it into a good game and run the servers until we all die if they wanted.

Did you just now realize your hobby is entertainment and the system is set up for profit instead of content? Poor thing, what a way to enter the New Year.

Unbridled capitalism isn't so amazing when the things you don't like work best, is it?

Ultimately a society has to be built around the masses of retards who will surely take part of it.
Making a law that says "it's illegal to make shit games" doesn't work, banning certain products would lead to the nanny state situation we have right now.
The maximum a good society would do is ban certain practices, like paid DLC and microtransactions.

That's 4chan-tier shit post right there.

Incorrect. A coward's answer to a simple question. Which is, class?

These 2 wouldn't change at all.

What the fuck does that have to do with anything?

Reminder.

Is this ironic shitposting?

chinks

WEW

Next billion dollars franchise

Wew, this is literally
What's next? You gonna argue in favor of the yakuza being better than other gang organizations because muh based honorabu nippon?
Nintendo has literally partnered with Tencent, and if I recall correctly those are the two biggest companies in their countries respectively
Have fun pretending nips are still samurai though

Undertale isn't banned retard, only shitposting threads called undertale generals are banned.

i love triggering filthy weaboos

Everywhere in the world is fucked.
Africa has always been fucked.
Arabia and west Asia has been fucked for about thirty years now ever since the Muslims got rid of the secular leaders East Asia has been fucked by greed to the point that they are neck and neck with the jews. Europe and North America has been fucked by diversity brought on by their own sense of humanitarianism. South and Central America has been fucked ever since American (((business))) began overthrowing governments left and right. Oceania is the least fucked of the populated continents, unless some Aussie or Kiwi anons want to prove me wrong. The only continent that has its shit together is Antarctica, I hear the penguins have discovered anime now.

First time I've heard about this after living under a rock. Do nintentards actually defend this?

what did he drink? is he okay?

What really bakes my noodle is the return on investment.

A BR game is like a baby's-first-fps template project in an engine like unreal or unity. Slap in some stock/purchased assets and script the game rules. I'm exaggerating a little… but still, with the modern dev tools and middleware available it should be a really fucking simple type of game to make. PUBG could not have cost very much to develop.

And all some one had to do was put one together with a modicum of competence. It's still not even good on a technical level, merely better than those that didn't even try (H1Z1).

If any of the big publishers had simply thrown their hats in the ring they could have pulled in billions, plural.

No one has defended this.

Pls no

>The only prospects are moving to (((Toronto))) and working with pajeets on some salaried office hell webdev project that nobody will care about in 3 years

At least it's actually a game and not a movie, or an "experience" that is trying to shill some degenerate ideology.

Its fairly recent and no gaming media (even the good ones) has talked about this shit whatsoever but the more you research into it the more fucked it gets
marketwatch.com/story/nintendo-switch-deal-with-tencent-paves-the-way-for-a-china-push-2017-09-19
This should be fucking worrying to a lot of people.

There was a thread about Tencent porting their shitty assfaggots mobile game but up until today i didn't know it was anything more than a port allowed by Nintendo on a whim, then I found out about this shit.

But there were Tencent shills about in that thread, not so much nintendrones yet

I think it just recently reached 3 million online players at the same time. So probably a lot of them.


Some people just love the truth, user.

Yes, I'm sure that things would be much better if Mutti Merkel and her canadian girlfriend would decide everything for us. That would be true enrichment.

I dont think anyone actively says they're for tencent unless either:
A - They work for Tencent
B - They pretend to be a certain group to make them look bad. But this happens all the time.
Hopefully if this war breaks out I accidentally hit Tencent HQ

It's pretty amazing how bad big publishers are at anything that isn't "running some franchise that we bought after it was already successful into the ground". There was so much free money lying around with ASSFAGGOTS and the best offer Blizzard could make IceFrog was "do it for free, might give you early access to the SC2 map tools".

Is this the fucked part?

Fuck them and their shit taste. Best scenario they fall into some revolution or all the shit developers take their shit there and stop caring about the West.

Man, Mark really left himself go.

This worries me a lot since nintendo has the worst case of brand loyalty. The chinks will be getting a shitload of money. WW3 can't come soon enough

What's bad about it? I haven't played it.

Half true. They want to play it with their favorite streamer or what's the most popular streaming game at the moment to make money from.

The fucked part is the "game" itself which is cancer even by chinese standards in terms of microtransactions and addictiveness
They want to pull in the smartphone/mobile market into the console market, or combine them in some way and get them hooked on their vidya equivalent of crack cocaine and then fucking them in the ass afterwards
Getting support from anything chinese that isn't indieshit is also fucked given how we know how disgustingly they operate their games
archive.fo/hsR2V

THIS SHOULD BE SENDING WARNING BELLS OFF IN ANY NON-RETARD'S HEAD
If Nintendo of America decides to advertise for this shit, or god forbid NoJ then we know that shit is beyond fucked and can only pray that it fails
The fact that its a chinese-made game as well and the fact that Tencent are known to censor even international users and promote socialism should worry people
We might see an influx of pro-commie Nintendrones in the future

my guess is that they promoted it with streamers on Twitch to boost their visibility

In fact the more you go through the article the worse it gets, I'm tempted to make a new thread for it, I'm gonna vomit

it's shallow as fuck. it can be fun with your friends but then again anything can and the concept of the idea is pretty solid: 100 people drop on an island and try to kill each other with what they find. there are good moments, like when you nail some unbelievable shot at like 100m with a crossbow and instakill some guy who's going to immediately report you for hacking. the downside of it is that literal tens of millions of people play it, so you're going to see the problems resulting from that instantly and constantly
it's just cancer. if it was small and mostly unknown it'd be a genuinely fun playground to dick around in with your buds but that's just not the case anymore

A man can dream, user

A man can dream

Peer Pressure mostly.

That's why.

Which is funny since it's because of capitalism that this shit is even popular at all. We need to go back to monarchy, normalfags don't know how to make decisions.

You got what you deserved

Sorry nobody played the visual novel you made.

Thank you for buying our games. please make weekly money orders to each company on payday.

...

Its worse than Planetside 2, has infinity less content, and the graphics are so out of date, that it might as well be a 2000s game with a big map and thats it.

You’d better just never post here again. You’re too neurologically damaged to fit in.

...

...

I won't defend myself from the other posts, I deserve it. But seriously, 'to neurologically damaged'? Where do you think we are right now?

Cut out 30% from that value over Steam tax, then cut out the price of 500 full time developers in South Korea, then cut out South Korean taxes. It has probably not made over $500m which isn't much.

whatcha gonna do?

feel better about myself tbh

What the fuck kind of abomination are you?

I see nothing wrong with the first two images assuming you were modding the shit out of those games. They are acceptable sandboxes. I question the third though…

zeta beta zeta beta zeta beta

Being a weeb is the hip new thing.

Its almost like profit is a secondary goal to controlling culture.

I tried the game and it feels too damn fucking unbalanced, buggy and empty. Even the good, fun moments are separated by long waits. My experience:


First Try:

Second Try:

Third Try:

Fourth Try:

Seriously, even when I got no bugs all the ten rounds felt the same. I must emphasize, this game has way too much fucking wait time.

If the day comes when anime becomes mainstream normalfag tier it's going to be interesting watching the mental olympics anons will have to compete in.

I'm pretty sure they just hate it because they hate China and popular things

I liked anime before it was cool. Before my parents would get internet I had to bike to an anime rental store to rent my anime, unlike you who have it all handed to you kid.

Of course.
I like collecting things autistically and running around in a sandbox, and I have friends who liked playing it as well. Dayz is fun with others.

Because you play like a pussy who hides in a corner. You need to seek danger. You also need people to play with. It's much better in groups of 2 to 4.

There will always be weeb tier anime. Just avoid the normalfag shit.

The day has pretty much come. I mean they obviously don't touch the "pedo anime" like precure, but most shounen has been adopted because it's not "creepy". For fucks sake look at dragon ball. And don't forget the tumblr audience invading, steven universe shows how hard they're trying to.

So besides you liking anime remind me of what separates you from a redditor?

What, are they sabotaging the game so Summoners War remains profitable?

How would I know? I don't go to reddit. You seem to know a whole lot about the place though. But i'm sure it's just a (((coincidence))).

redditor confirmed, holy fucking shit

You're projecting a bit hard there, user.

Don't give ritsu attention lad

iN SPACE?

3 million concurrent users.
It's safe to say that at least half of the people who own the game play 2-3 hours of it a day.

What part of my post indicates so you autistic fuck?

because steamfags are just consolefags by another name

If a woman can pressure you to buy games, then we should just pressure you to kill yourself.

It's the Chinese, they're over 50% of the playerbase.

...

bragging about your shit taste like it's something worth merit should be a bannable offense

Lol

at least factorio is my most played

Why would you buy Disgaea PC when it's just the PSP version running in a PSP emulator?

because he is a steam user

This

You need to kill yourself asap.

You're obviously too chicken shit to fight other players and hiding in a bush. The game would be funner if you grew a pair.

Only 140hrs in new vegas?

Can't say I'm surprised.

What part of "you have to run through a bland desert for literal minutes to even reach another settlement and maybe find someone to fight" do you not understand you shill cunt?
I only camped twice, once to try out the OP as fuck sniper rifle in the road and once because a small town turned into Stalingrad for ten minutes and I had no equipment. The rest of the time I tried playing it like MGSV hunting people down and all I got was RNG chances of bugs or dying. Walking out in the open in this game is practically asking to be shot and instakilled.

Besides

For burning in hardware.

If only they all bought Deus Ex GOTY editions instead. Then I could pretend that Deus Ex was always shit and normalfag, casualized trash.

Only? I'd say it's way too much given how much of a crappy game F:NV is. I don't get why retards flock to it like it's the hottest shit. All fallouts after 1 were meme ridden cancer infestations.

How does that make sense? It's the people who make shitty or less interesting games who keep trying to come up with excuses for why other games are more successful than them. Not the ones who are honest enough to admit that maybe there was actually something about the game's themselves that lent to their success.

...

It all started with Arma DayZ. The immersion of playing on a big map is the main thing about DayZ. You never know where is the enemy. The anticipation of enemy in the apocalyptic setting gave rise to our feral instincts of our ancients, who hunted alone. After DayZ hype dried out, there comes Battle Royal in Arma 3. It was DayZ on steroids. Arma 3 engine is still better looking and the atmosphere is more suitable for BR game, but the chunkiness and wonkines of the engine is evident, thus there is a PUBG made in Unreal Engine 4. The long range rendering is inferior to Armas, but you have all in one, no need to download additional files and tinker with the game so that the BR works, like you need to do in Arma. There we have a big success of PUBG. Who ever played BR in Arma did it before it was cool.

what

natsoc tbh

I'm generally surprised that PUBG took off with normalfags considering there doesn't seem to be any progression system and the matches appear to be quite lengthy at times, on top of a chance of dying immediately and no respawn. Although like MOBA players, frequent PUBG players seem to just be high-chasers wanting to relive that one big victory or try to have the funny shit they saw on a stream happen for them as well

...

they play it because it's addicting and wastes time. It doesn't make sense to people like you and me who play games as a hobby to challenge ourselves and to overcome obstacles. They use it as escapism. The same reason that they play league of legends

How do normies even play this game? I thought it runs like shit even on good systems and normies don't have gaming PCs.

OP you are bad at math.

can I pressure you to kill yourself?

I hope you are being sarcastic mr. anime poster.
Rounding Rules:
more than 5 > up
less than 5 < down

But it's actually 70,5%

So, 710 million? Shit logic, fam.

Tell me your secrets, great one. Zero to four is rounded down, five to nine is rounded up, you fucking donut.

Normalfags are cattle, they will always follow the herd. They'll buy whatever is deemed popular in a pathetic attempt to "fit in". PUBG is just another in a long string of one hit wonders, it's the Day Z / Minecraft / Undertale / etc. of today. In a few months another shitty turd will come rolling in and the whole process will start anew.

One thing I can say is that the devs of PUBG seem to be marginally more competent than the Day Z and able to keep the hype train going for longer. Scamming Microsoft to help them with the development and make it a centerpiece of their XBox strategy was another brilliant move.

People voted with their wallets.

Democracy without limited suffrage is a shit system anyway. At best it's mob mentality, at worst it's collective suicide of a people.

OK
OK
It's 5 = and > that is rounded up.
Wrong writing on my end, sorry.

...

...

Democracy will never work because is always worse than the individual.

i dont play PubBG but why is this argument constantly used in negative manner even for others games? If a game is actually fun with friends why is that a bad thing?

Because anything is fun with friends. Friends are people you enjoy spending time with, no matter what you're actually doing. It's not an argument worth shit.

Because it's a good game?

It's almost like you knew you'd be banned for that post

...

Then your fun isn't from the game, its from your friends. In this case stop wasting time on this garbage and either go play a better game with them where you will have even more fun or go outside with them.
This isn't cuckchan.

Not looking like such a great idea anymore, huh?

It doesn't answer anything or give any useful or insightful information, but instead just beats around the bush with pointless circular logic, you fucking retards.

...

You have my forgiveness, and your dubs have absolved you.

I assume you mean capitalism, judging by your stealth commie cat. Afraid that you get laughed at/spammed with piggy fellatio?

But it's a non-answer. It's a buggy piece of shit. The real answer is that faggots on twitch are playing it, so others bought it because of that.

...

...

Mods did a good thing banning you, hopefully they keep it up

Is farming lootboxes that profitable?

there is always desperate cucks. never forget the chinese gold farmers/sellers in WoW got to the point where prison wardens in china would make prisoners play WoW and farm gold for them

I dont know how the fuck anyone justifies it, but it looks like it. There's hacks to farm and scalping is the norm. Chinks are truly the kikes of Asia.

Why live?

jesus christ you could buy multiple high quality hookers to dress up for you and have sex with you for that kind of money, you could buy a goddamned real doll and dress it up as a school girl for that kind of money. what were they thinking!?

Silly goyim dont you know about supply and demand and demand and demand?
You want that set dont you? *rubs hands*

Not really, one of the best advantages this game has is that although you are playing with other people if you want to stop playing at anytime commit suicide. It also doesn't have a punishment for losing. You instantly get to start a new game and hope things go better this time. The RNG as makes it so that any skill that may or may not be present will be less focused on rather then "I lost because of those shit drops" when losing, but you whenever you win you can trick yourself into believing it's skill.

Is this even a reason to buy a game? It just seems like a non-argument to me. If the base game isn't fun or well-made, then who cares if it's "FUN WITH FRIENDS"?

It isn't. That's a reason to pirate games more than anything.

internet was a mistake

Roberts would be proud.

Thanks for clearing that up, granted even still i'm surprised casuals like hunting one another on a big ass map compared to more instant bells-and-whistles of something like COD

Chinese. From now on in the globalist world, you will constantly be faced with the notion that you should be like them. A faceless horde of slaves.

China is going to implode in the next 20 years anyway. Not that the West has much left either.

user i think you need to clean the friend list a little bit and not fill it up with shitheads like that

Can you win it in game simply by playing?

Nah, all the shit you buy is cosmetic only, though I imagine they'll eventually succumb to the shekel and introduce p2w shit, if only because of the insistence of chinks that expect such mechanics.

Shit, I misread that. You do win the jpegs by playing and then can sell them to other suckers.

I don't care even if somebody calls me a boot licker.
Valve and other scumbags need to put in their place and forced by law to knock it the fuck out for introducing online jpeg gambling to 12 year olds.

No. it's all RNG boxes that you have to pay real money to open, and stupid people are more willing to shell out 1000 bucks so they dont have to deal with the RNG of trying to get complete sets.

Have some oc

Please don't post those pics anymore.

streamers
this game sadly proved you can treat your customers like shit as long as free marketing team is happy

You said 26000000 * 29.99

At least I'm game-free

Okay.
I will leave you in peace with a slant eyed merchant oc.

Next (1) & done

He's not wrong, though. They'll wring this turd for all they can and we can look forward to five years of battle royale clones made by every untalented hack in the industry.

That's not true, I'm not making one.

I'm sorry, I forgot to add "autistic" in there.

Just by being here, you have more talent than most "developers"

Yandev was also here at one point.

And the moment he left was when his whole project went into a tailspin.

I was playing the Rush of Blood demo for PSVR, and within literally seconds of starting, I was already wanting to commit suicide. I twisted the guns around to look down the barrel and pulled the trigger. There was a nice blinding muzzle flash and sharp report that kind of hurt my ears because the volume was all the way up.

Sadly, nothing else happened. I guess the designers never stopped to consider that the game is so terrible that it might actually drive some of their players to suicide - even if just in-game. So you just keep firing the gun into your head to no effect.

I went into it expecting garbage, and I'm still disappointed.

...

So the reason for the price gouging is because of the RNG and the RNG is so rigged that you might get it cheaper if you actually buy the thing on the steam market. I would still never buy any of them for money, and reminds me of EVE's goons. But that mystery of normalfags justifying it is because of Tencent and the shitty egotistic developer who puts his name on the title.

...

Didn't the developer refuse to give the chinese exclusive servers instead of having them shit up the american ones because of 'xenophobia'?

All the effort and love in the world won't make your bad game become good, faggot. It won't make Pretty Underwhelming Bad Game good either.

wew

Anyone got the Top Grog pic?

lmao ur e-cred is gone l0ser

Nier Automata and Cuphead both did well.
Quality always does well. Luck is one in a million.
They scratched an itch, but it won't last except by autists. They'll need to start selling hats to get more in once "everyone" whose interested in it has bought it and got bored/moved on/is an autist who'd stay anyway.

In China, yes.
There is a big rich/poor divide. So if you screw over someone in business in the US, you'll prob get enough to last a month or two. In China, screwing over dumb westerners by promising to follow their standards (which China doesn't have to follow by law BTW), and they can live well for a long time. Or splurge it all to make up for how fucking miserable they are.
Imagine hacking some online game and selling the lootboxes or cosmetics on mean you can live like it's Christmas for 3 months. And combine that with being miserable every day and told everything outside your shitbox of a country is even worse, that temptation is pretty great.

The life of a human roach

Unknown

He said some shit about xenophobia but the rest of the dev team has said they are looking into ping locking China back to their own Asian servers where they belong. Worst Koreans don't care about the feelings of the chinks I'm sure.

...

What kind of stupid ass analogy is that? Or you can just be a competent human being and take a look at whether or not there's shit in the chamber before you pull that trigger.


You're a dumbass. Why would you want to be worked to death on someone else's project when you could have a comfy business programming job where most of the work is just deciphering what these tech illiterate retards want and then get overpaid for easy work while getting huge amounts of PTO?

So all the crappy devs chasing a quick buck will try to imitate this online streambait garbage, fail at it, and go bankrupt. Meanwhile devs who actually like making games will remain unaffected.
I don't see the problem.

The problem is that it made this much money in the first place and that chinks will roll in it with both it, and its biggest knockoff (fortnite)

So? They will stay away from actually good games and not shit them up with their presence.

i got as a birthday gift from a friend

Nigger I have 3 friends who have all but signed an agreement between eachother to get me to buy the blandest games on the planet. Overwatch, PUBG, H1Z1, Dead by Daylight, you name it. I fell for it the first time, I didn't think my friends would lead me down a bad road. We bought the Rust 4-pack. user, I tried so hard to have fun with that game. I spent over a hundred hours trying to understand why my friend has 500 hours in Rust. I couldn't. I had never bought an Early Access game before that point and I never will again. I learned my lesson, my friends have kept trying to get me to buy games and I have held fast for 3 years. Resist the peer pressure, user. Don't give money to shit games just because your friends tell you to.

Hmm how many gamers are there world wide? 25 million for 1 game in 1 year sounds pretty big.

...

Keep in mind, as anons mentioned earlier in the thread, a good percentage of the users are probably netcafe accounts. A safe ballpark, since the chinks are involved, would be 45~63% of the accounts are chink/netcafe accounts.

...

lmao

Heard these promises before, Kotick.

Funny you mention the mgsv controls when mgs4 basically had the same gamemode in ita multiplayer, but was better because of solid physics and gameplay no pun intended.

It's alright with some good friends. Holla Forums just doesn't like it because no friends and hating fun. The devs are cunts though, they'll ban your ass if you kill their boytoy streamers one too many times.

What is even the state of the video game "market"?

What's next? Video games become primarily "social platforms" for microtransactions where gameplay is increasingly a secondary priority?

Great, lets nationalize all their asses, maybe then theyll listen to people.

...

but all the tankies fucking hate video games

Tankies hate everything, user.

Killing gaming counts as saving it, right?

It took existing popular FPS multiplayer mechanics and put a spin on them that makes a lot of sense and is fun.

retard alert

tbh the entire industry would probably improve from dying for 5 years or so, but tankies are allergic to fun and would murder vidya forever

they love hating ukrainians almost as much as pol hates jews

If I embraced communism you fucking dumb hipsters would still hate how I'd want to apply it because you are a bunch of intellectually dishonest faggots with no sense of self.

They kill vidya, then we kill the tankies.
It's perfect.

its single feature - BETA of Battle Royale mode taken from Day-Z
all you do in it is fuck around in open world that isnt even open in the end (it forces barriers on you)
loot is entirely random, useless
everything looks the same
its autism the game, only for people who have nothing to do all day
its promoted by assholes on twitch and youtube, it has an abnormally large community some if with quality content, even thou it doesnt even deserve it (you cant create anything unlike in Minecraft)
THERE IS NOTHING, I REPEAT, NOTHING INNOVATIVE ABOUT IT
its good for fucking around for no reason, its only selling point
and it does it better than most
other than that its WORTHLESS

But user. Gamers do have the means of video game production.

???

They would hate how you want to apply it because that's what you're supposed to do in Communism. True fax from Lenin and Trotsky themselves. What do you expect from a worldwide revolutionary movement that invites all rebels to participate as a result of the nature of the revolution? Of course there's going to be faction struggle. The Communist says it's only a problem when the faction struggle is no longer equal and gives way to a standard dictatorship. This problem hasn't been solved in Communism's ~150 year history, but they say they must keep trying anyway.

Are you suggesting that people PAY for products they WANT??

I tried/10

Because normalfags are retarded and capitalism.

This guy is more on the money. It's a piss easy game with lots of variation and no clear end goal outside of roleplaying and death matches.

I'm going to need the source of that

This. It's fucking capitalism and nothing else. Money talks.

"Vote with your wallet" only works if you first force everybody to agree with you. If people want games like PUBG to stop being successful, then a large-scale global purge or people who enjoy shit vidya is needed first.

It's appeal comes from low expectations. It's just like most entertainment mediums: the wonder of a product no longer matters, the envelopes it pushes no longer matter, the bottom line is what matters. If you know that by selling your game to the Chinese dogs that you'll sell upwards of 10 million copies, why should you care about the fact that many of them are cheaters and that they will disenfranchise your human playerbase? You don't; you've made 20mil minimum on less than a million dollar budget AT MOST, meaning you've got a 2000% profit margin. It's just like with the lootbox fiasco surrounding these big budget IPs, the game does not matter, the money matters. It's kikery in action.

The worst part is that it could be a good game, it could add something to the genre.

git gud faggots

Battlefield Bad Company 2 - 2010

Games are getting worse and worse.

Normalfags are profitable. Mentally ill (pedo) weebs will always be a minority. Shame.

...

...

Don't get confused by these memetic imposters. True communists don't have anything against any non-porky-degenerate form of art.
Alexey Pajitnov was a communist. Proletariat all over the world still having fun playing his game.
That's the Lenin's quality of gaming right here, comrade!

Don't wanna criticize your choice or something, but your subcounciousness literally craves for job.

PUBG is dying here in the West, China is the only thing keeping this scam afloat. Steamcharts published this image in October, but the message is clear: Westerners have started to flee the game.
Chinks also make up the majority of cheaters, and they've absolutely infested the game. Even defenders of this asset flip are begging for a region lock to improve match quality.

I-it's not what it looks like!

That's a shame, because i started to think that the epic battle royal meme would lead to a revival of The Ship

>>>/suicide/

similar shit has been happening for ages to varying degrees.

I work in a storage, and Sokoban in unironically one of my favourite games

I really like that show.

Men in particular crave responsibility, but modern leftist culture demoralizes men and discourages them from taking any on. Rather than engage with the real world where you're treated like garbage, why not just work fake jobs in a fake world where at the very least people don't shit on you simply for being born? It's one of the symptoms of the underlying leftist rot in western society just like the sudden resurgence of the right and Murrika electing a living meme as president.

I….I want this

heh

I suppose it always does.

You should get pressured by the sea.

My most played is planetside 2 and I don't even like it, and it's a shit game in general.

...

most of those were bots from the publisher

It's fun.

I think PUBG looks like a cheep ass pile of shit but some people enjoy it. Why are you that bothered? When ever I see a game I don't like the look of I just play something I do like without the need of splerging all over the internets.

What sort of mental handicap does one have to obtain to buy and enjoy such game?

The Chinese aren't people.

I guess whatever one the other 25,999,999 people have.

Most people are retarded, got it.

If they created a communist solution to video games, the first thing they'd do is develop an even stronger DRM that goes in everything, because the very idea that you could download something without paying your coin to the state is unthinkable.

...

Rust is the only modern game I really enjoy, despite how retarded (((Garry Newman))) and his band of kikes over at Facepunch are. It's the only game of its kind I know of that isn't a running simulator for 90% of the gameplay, and the rush of jumping other people and taking their shit is immensely satisfying.

Go away RottenRedditor.

I hate the "community" atmosphere in Rust. Everyone kills everyone at all times for zero reasons, even if there's nothing to loot off a body. There's no opportunity for organic formation of mutual cooperation, if you're not in someone's clan, you're the enemy, no exceptions. As an example, I remember spawning into a server and running into someone who spawned fresh right in front of me. They immediately ran and hid behind a rock, but I had nothing on me and had no interest in trying to harm them. So I ran around and made it obvious I wasn't planning on being a threat to him, and he walks out from behind the rock. Few seconds later, he kills the naked guy in front of him who isn't doing anything. Virtually all the players on all the servers are like that, and it's not a battle royale game, it's just open ended, there are no win conditions.

I'm not saying any of this because I can't get on top or anything. I've done it plenty of times, and it can be satisfying, but the whole persistent "fuck everybody all the time forever no questions asked" grates on my nerves. In addition to that is the added "stress" and annoyance of caring for any kind of permanent structures, where you're constantly worrying about whether someone is ransacking it while you're offline or if you hid it well enough.

You have nothing to lose and everything to gain by killing people with less gear than you, they're walking loot deposits; furthermore, if you're the territorial kind of player, shredding nakeds keeps them out of your vicinity and stops them from getting established. Besides, why care if you die as a naked?

Naked are universally considered the most retarded players on the food chain, hence why they're nakeds. If you're looking for co-operation then look for people with low-tier armour and clothing, if not those with shops - they tend to be the nicest players. To be fair, it used to be a lot more friendly, at least until the streamers got to it. It's slowly been getting better though - the boys I've been playing with most recently have been building villages with apartments and shops for people to use, and while there are always a few bad apples, it's still great fun.

Also,
Do you have a microphone? Players without microphones are on the absolute bottom rung of Rust society, and may as well be NPCs. If your face doesn't have a voice to match it, you're a non-entity.

Don't call it a grave, it's the future we chose.

I guess everyone in Rust is retarded then, champ? Any new players who spawn in to a server they've never been on are automatically idiots. I guess the only way around that is to never spawn anywhere, making the only winning move not playing at all. Everyone's been naked at one point.

Yes, players who are perpetually naked are almost certainly retarded. It doesn't take much to craft a spear, a bow, or some stone tools.

...

Rust players consider a naked player holding a spear or stone axe as not naked? It doesn't take much to craft cloth, assuming you can sprint around fields without getting shot at constantly, but a naked guy with a pointy stick is still naked.
