Video games peaked in the 90s and the industry has gone down the toilet these days so Hillary can do whatever the gently caress she wants and I won't mind

You also get people freaking out about that Anita Sarqueesio lady and folks like her. Sure, she's a dumb miserable bitch and all, but it's not like her opinion actually matters and even if it did, it's not like she could ruin video games when they're already poo poo. So if anyone makes it their mission in life to ruin video games or whatever, I say knock yourself out hoss, just too bad someone else beat ya to it

Like if you wanna bitch and moan every time you see a pair o' titties on the TV, it's a free country and you're free to do that, but you gotta realize that sex sells and no amount of hissy fits and stamping your feet is gonna change that and all you're accomplishing is being annoying

Calling for the restriction of games went away when they started making a ton of money.

Yeah, I don't think Hilldawg is gonna try and pass any laws about vidya games now because she's always been in bed with the movie\tv\music industry and now video games are pretty much as big

yes, but now my japanese visual novel shoujo lolita games are being imported with censored art, and i will not stand for this bullshit!!!!!

you know, I think taking out the part of fire emblem where you grope your anime waifus is actually probably a good thing and is a big improvement

also most places outside of Japan, the middle east, Hollywood and reddit aren't very tolerant of pedophiles and this is not a new thing at all

Basically video games have turned into Hollywood and that's why they suck. It costs insane amounts of money to make a big movie, so they make them all sequels and remakes so people go see them and try to make them appeal to as wide of an audience as possible. Likewise it takes a stupid amount of money and manpower to make a video game and that leads to people playing it safe. If your project bombs, you're totally hosed. It doesn't help that all the middle-tier devs went the way of the dodo so now just the big giants and little cellphone shovelware companies and indie devs who are up their own assholes are left. Technology improved but the actual economics and logistics of making games that take advantage of this improved tech just couldn't keep up. They also all still cost $60 but cost way more to make, so they have to release half finished games with DLC you get later to even make a profit.

tl;dr Capitalism ruined video games along with everything else

She already went to some UN Women's thing. Of course the paper she was sponsoring included citing sources that claim pokemon makes kids satan worshippers and citing their own c drive.

HA, you didn't see it? That was one of the few "real" sources, over half the sources quotes in the paper where not valid and included stuff like this:


It was amazingly bad. Full list here, don't worry the article is just about how lovely the "sources" are.

Holy cow. It's kinda depressing that anyone takes these people seriously at all

we will forever be stuck playing "retro" games like dark souls 3

If they literally just stopped making all video games, I would be cool with that as there's already enough to last me an entire lifetime
