Day in and day out, Holla Forumsirgins here complain how games have gone to shit, but not doing anything about it actually.
"But user, what can we do?"
How about contacting the devs of a game and making suggestions how to fix their shit?
"But an0n, I'm just one guy"
I see a shitton of guys here.
"But an0n, the normalfags outnumber us!"
So what? In total numbers, yes. But that doesn't mean we can't achieve local superiority.
Game X. We analyze, make a detailed critical posts, then we swarm the devs forum and make sure it's the most view/endorsed post. The suits only look at the numbers and that's something that can be turned into our favor. Sure, it might still be ignored. Sure, it might amount to nothing. But it still better than doing literally nothing.
You haven't been following games for long, have you?

Most game design decisions are made from corporate, not developers. Emailing developers does nothing, and trying to convince corporate requires pools of money.
I'm not sure which particular problem you want to complain about, but chances are the answer is "because money" or "because casuals". And you can't argue against that as a small group that is clearly not part of the target demographic which is the casual consumer.

I've mailed Capcom what I thought about their games and got some responses back.
However, I may have complained about modern Blizzard, but really I haven't bought a game from them in over 10 years by now. So I'm really not a part of their audience anymore.

Same reason Holla Forums does jack shit all day. Because at the end of the day it's a bunch of fat or skinnifat nerds that do nothing with their lives and can't influence what they hate whatsoever. A lot of noise but no actual results because it's essentially a loud, angry, powerless minority of rejects the world has abandoned and ignored long ago.

Why did you even make this thread? You know we have agdg threads and a board right?

what the fuck does this thread have to do with agdg

He thinks you can change the industry by making your own games. Clearly he's a complete and utter fucking retard because every single dev that came from Holla Forums and has made something succesful (for example, the Risk of Rain dev) quickly distanced itself from chan boards because he realizes that in the real world his game actually needs to sell in order to feed himself, and catering to a bunch of NEET neckbeards that haven't purchased a single game in the last 20+ years and will call your game shit anyway, isn't exactly the smartest business decision you can make in your life.
