How about you play ATOM: Trudograd or Vagrus The Riven Realms (both came out a month ago) and test ColonyShip, Urban Strife or Stoneshard while getting blown up in HighFleet. That alone should last you 150-200h

Also, there was a poster on r/pcgaming who argued that the GOVERNMENT should be the ones making and selling AAA games ROFL!!!

I replied that I am not into COMMUNIST gaming lmao. Too bad the original poster of that message deleted it.

And sadly enough, that isn't even the first post that I've seen where people are literally calling for Communist/Marxist takeover of the gaming market <le sigh>

But then a take a look at the r/politics forum there and then it ALL makes sense holy shit haha.

Never played the original version of Tetris, but I saw a screenshot and it looked like ass. Not representative of all Communist gaming, sure, but you know what they say. If you can't even do Tetris right...

i don't know why you're acting surprised when you're posting that stuff on Reddit of all places, it's a wretched hive of scum and villainy. Never use it for discourse, use it as a source of information or downloads

Wait, you're living on the brink of cultural, racial and class civil war and you wonder why gaming is shit?

There are enough ancient, old and new good games, books and movies to last you a lifetime, I think you should be focused on more important things, like fucking bitches, making money and building your post-apo bunker. Instead you're wasting your youth on bitching

I'm doing the listed activities with most of my time, planning my mountainside alaskan bunker, etc, but I come back to gaming maybe just to check things out and it's just a mountain of shit

"Its funny how seeing the AAA industry evolve in the last 20 years has provided a perfect encapsulation of how "capitalism breeds innovation" is such a huge fucking hoax. Becoming disenfranchised with big games over the last 10 years is the sole reason why I've radically shifted towards Marxist ideals and its so silly."

Seeing more and more of these posts on Reddit.

Hold me LMAO :dead:

Yes, because as USSR has proven the Politburo is the true source of innovation and cultural evolution as is evidenced by the half century of cultural stagnation that the USSR went through before suddenly, for no reason at all, collapsing in 1989. Truly reddit is the Athens of our time.

But the industry is being destroyed by censorship and other attempts to seek social credit score. Amazing that they would blame profit seeking as the issue.

Funnily enough, a few posts down someone says the same thing regarding a list of video games created by the Soviet Union.

He got downvoted :deathclaw:

The West has fallen I'm afraid to say.

What's crazy about that "logic" is that there is no alternative model for game development in spectrum of "Marxist ideals". It's just wishful thinking.

And look at the Chinese gaming industry, for example. Is that any better than what's going on in the West? Seems to me like it's just as exploitative.

Seriously, what was the Soviet software industry? Was it anything at all?

I would understand an argument in favor of an old-school form of capitalism, pre-Reagan and Thatcher, but this is just retarded.

Games wouldn't even exist under communism. It's a non-essential activity that exists only because it can make money to someone somewhere. I don't think people understand the amount of effort it actually takes to make a game and the kind of incentive needed to make people willing to commit to it.

All the best games were made under capitalism. I'm still waiting for any of those woke people to make anything that isn't a colossal pile of shit.

The industry was already ruined by consolization and dumbing down for mass market appeal, that was the original decline, that happened before anyone knew about SJWs.

That WAS a predictable consequence of profit seeking and the current economic system.

Most of the high budget games that are currently being impacted by SJW stuff were going to be bad anyway, because they are made for the lowest common denominator.

Unfortunately, as our culture becomes more and more degenerate it will become increasingly difficult for anyone to make a truly great Indie game, so eventually we will have very little to play, as all the autistic passion projects will be full of SJW stuff.

Some games are actually being funded by government cultural grants, Canada and Germany among other countries have these programs now.

It's hard to tell if anything good has been made using these funds.

It serves an essential function of placating the unruly masses. It's arena sports for people that don't like sports.

We already have enough communism. People think communism is "classless" which I certainly approve of but they aren't. They have classes alright. They usually sell DLC season passes on Steam for 45.99

Tetris was made by one guy in his spare time. I don't think games like that count.
