Capitalism is literally ruining video games right before our very eyes in slow motion, with microtransactions and pay-to-win models, and yet gamers somehow still complain about women, poc, and lgbt+ people ruining games. This is like a microcosm of how capitalism divides the working class, except it is so obvious and brain-dead.

True.
It's not so clear cut to me. One of the goals of capitalism is mass production at cheap prices. It is undeniable that video games have gone this route in some aspects. Prices have not really increased for video games. In fact, in many cases they have decreased. This is especially true when factoring in the digitization of the market and the frequent sales on digital platforms. Meanwhile games have also become longer, prettier and more complex yet this has not been accompanied by significant price increases.

Yeah, there is undoubtedly a lot of rip off stuff out there, but you also have to consider that you can go on Steam and get games at a discount rate of 25-75% off every few months or so, buy bundles of games, buy portable games at cheaper prices, etc.

I have really mixed feelings about the direction video games have been going. All the DLC, DRM, season pass **** is grating of course. On the other hand, I honestly do like the convenience of digital games and the fact that I can spend $100.00 during a summer sale or something and get a bunch of games.
The general gaming population also doesn't have as much time to play games like us here which people tend to ignore in these arguments. All this stuff helps them. You get to play a game for hours a day while some person who works a full time job and **** who only gets like maybe a few hours a week to game will put in the money to lessen the grind to enjoy said game.

With DLC at this point I just support what I like and don't bother with what I don't. Alot of developers get their money from DLC considering in this age a game can kill a developer if it doesn't do well.
Why I solo game. Ain’t no reason for me to feel like I need to play catch up with other players through either grinding or purchasing micro transactions.

If a solo game offers you a chance to skip gameplay, especially hours of grinding, to get to the meat of the game or the ending, then the game itself must really not be all that fun to play, even in short bursts.

I get the argument of not having the time, but damn. Unless you’re intending to sell the game back while it’s still worth something or it’s rented, what’s the rush if it’s just a single player game with no multiplayer options?
This.

And you can still, you know, offer an option to skip sections of the game for free. But then the hardcore gamer brigade gets on your ass.

Why in the world microtransactions are okay to a lot of "GAMERS" but the idea of easier modes or adding in a free skip level function is considered evil is beyond me.

Further, in a world where Minecraft and Stardew Valley are among the top selling games, it becomes evident the "games cost more to make" argument is bunk. Sure. It costs more to make AAA, Pixar-graphics level games. But in that case there are ways to fund the game without having it be for pay AND throwing in microtransactions and such:

*Make it free to play- multiple publishers have reported the microtransactions have made more profit than game sales themselves at this point. Hell I think Fire Emblem Heroes might be the most successful game in the franchise- at the very least, the most successful game app in the past year.
*Don't have microtransactions and the like, instead offer collector's editions with extra physical (or otherwise separate from the game) merch that cost basically nothing to produce. People will buy games with tiered pricing, and not just by ransoming off content.
*Or you can just jack up the price- if a game is truly worth it, hell yeah I'll pay 100 bucks at launch.

But rather than care about the end-user experience, publishers get greedy and emulate casinos.

True, a lot of more casual gamers won't notice the difference... but it's at the cost of the product's artistic integrity. There are a number of games that have been eviscerated from their original vision by publishers shoving in a microtransaction marketplace.

Like. People can crow all they want about how gaming is being ruined by diversity or what the **** ever, but if you removed, say, that black woman or changed her to a white guy with a crew cut, the game experience wouldn't change much outside of the narrative. The removal or addition of microtransactions, on the other hand, changes the game's experience to its very core.

I ask a guy to stop commenting angry faces on my facebook. I find it creepy and violating. Now I'm made to look like the bad person here. Bullshit. "oh but you laugh at my that's what she said" no, I don't. I only nervously giggle because I think you're going to choke me if I don't. Or at least say it three more times if I don't laugh. I hate that's what she said, and I'm sick of hearing it.

You ever think that you might be suffocating me? Yeah, but I'm the bad one here when I tell you that you are. This is why I can't deal with people

No.

But "here, we made this content and invested time and resources into it, but ya'll can skip it for money if you don't like it and move to something else" sounds a whole lot ****ing worse if you ask me.

27 million copies on PC alone. That's more than most AAA games sell.

Walked into my sister's room and she's playing L4D2 with mods.

Coach is some girl from Dangan Ronpa
Nick is Johnny Bravo
Rochelle is Nicholas Cage as a pickle
Ellis is Eddy from Ed, Edd n Eddy

I would have prefred if they had made Cortez straight instead of gay in ME3, but his character would still only talk about his sexuality.

So instead of eyeroll inducing "did I mention I'm gay?" character. He'd be this meme dudebro that'd spew how much he likes chicks.

They should have made Vega the gay option instead.

10x better character and more attractive.

Traynor was much better than Cortez too

"I'm suddenly gay now cause why not" Kaidan was better than Cortez

I'd rather do the sex scene with Morinth than doing the Cortez romance again
