The video game industry or at least those in the AAA & the artificial scarcity of producing expensive hardware by companies in bed w/ them that caters to that obsession that only a segment of the overall market can avail. #videogames #videogameindustry #AI #AIslop #DLSS5 #nvidia

#Highguard is an "Indie" game allegedly.
So where are the usual games media reporting of how toxic the game culture is again over this "hate-ful" rumor? They have to obviously disprove it through comprehensive jornalism, right? #indiegame #videogames #videogameindustry
There is nothing wrong about being political especially if it is for the people. Game preservation is for the people & #proconsumer

They say gamer culture has tendency to "hate" and wishing games to "fail" (whatever that means). I don't see gamers wishing Blood of the Dawnwalker, Crimson Desert, Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, MH Stories 3, and tons of upcoming indies. #videogames #videogameindustry
Context of what I am referring to, check out this retrospective on X-Play from MagicMush on how it looks down on Japan made games (that they don't like), it was a different era; but sometimes it still lingers today.
