@SensibleFascist "Shut the fuck up fucking seppo cunt, the government rapes us because they actually fucking care about us cunt, it's for our safety that the government rapes us, fucking dumb yank cunt!"
The downfall of Australia’s reputation genuinely needs to be studied. In only a few years they went from being thought of as rough and tough rugged basasses who would wrestle kangaroos for fun, to cucked liberal sissies with pedo mustaches who let their government rаpе them.
cutting physical media cuts costs only for the company. they get to save on production, design, shipping and still charge the same thing with nothing being passed on to the consumer
I'm so beyond sick of these retarded fanboys in every fucking fandom constantly trying to gaslight everyone else that the reason people don't like the newer things is because they're miserable now, rather than the new things just actually being shit.
This whole "you were happier when you were younger, you just have nostalgia for the things you liked as a kid" is nothing more than bullshit to make you back down from your criticisms, shut up and question and doubt yourself.
But its bullshit manipulation. Always has been. Always will be. I've dealt with the same shit from retarded degenerate scum like this and I know for a fucking fact that it doesn't work this way because I played Fallout 1 and 2 AFTER I played Fallout 4 and I fucking love the first two games and I despise Fallout 4. The difference in writing quality is clear as day. I watched Andor and actually enjoyed it because the writing was good, whereas all of Disney's other Star Wars movies and shows have been pure unfiltered dogshit. The difference in writing quality between the OT and even the Prequels is a night and day difference from all of Disney's shit, aside from Andor.
Yes, nearly every entertainment franchise is fucking crashing and burning. These delusional cocksucking losers trying to convince you that the quality has remained consistent over the past 20 years OR are trying to convince you that things you like have always been shit are liars.
This meme is a big cope. Every weed smoker I knew, myself included, was running away from something. Or at best, they were just trying to relax & do nothing.
The industry didn't "suddenly" declare war on gamers. This has been a low-intensity conflict going on 15+ yrs, accelerating in 2014, and is coming to a logical "fuck the consumer" conclusion.
You think otherwise b/c you dislike the people who were telling you it was happening.
Corpos had been looking into harnessing "consumption as virtue" well before 2014. What 2014 actually marked was a transition from "[product] is good" to "if you criticize [product], you are bad."
Companies could essentially earn allegiance by playing to "woke" sensibilities.
This is directly downstream from 2014, when journos and game creators began characterizing gamers as backwards ignorant manchildren who don't know what's good for them.
In fact, "woke" can only be understood as a phenomenon stemming from the dialectic of consumerism.
I think a lot of online arguments come down to hipster douchebags grappling with the idea that nerds ACTUALLY LIKE nerd stuff and aren't enjoying it in an ironic "All of my emotions are filtered through 10 layers of smirking bemusement" way
