No, seriously, are we all just being trolled?

The gigantic spark in controversy in gaming these past six months, from Mafia III to Call of Duty WW2... all of it seems crazy as shit, like ironic maymays coming to life.

What if it's all just a ploy? A methodological campaign taken by these companies to stir up controversy because controversy sells? To set people against each other via the divide and conquer theory of marketing and commercialization?

Are we all just being fucked with by the gaming industry and its usually paid-partner journalists?

stop taking 4chan so seriously

>>380710985
They throw hundreds of millions into this industry. No they're not fucking around.
>>
>>380711079
And how much do they get out of it from all the controversy?

Fuck, if KFC's CEO can say bad publicity is good because it gets people talking, maybe there's a point behind it.

We live in a simulation. Ever since sometime last year, the people running the simulation have decided to mess with us in every area of life to see how we react to everything going absolutely off the rails. Not even games are safe from our gods dry humping the disaster spawning buttons.
>>
>>380711224
Why does everyone keep saying this? you're overreacting, society is still standing
>>
>>380711352
It is, but everything has gone haywire. Just because society is still standing doesn't make this the most bizarre year.

We are meaningless slaves to cruel and fickle masters, my friends. It's like the Mouth of Madness; we're desitned to bend to their will because it's our role in the book, in the simulation, in their world. Even our most precious videos only exist because They allow it.

You're overthinking it a little but you're on the right track, it's not that controversy itself sells, but that they figured out they can get their products advertised for free by making polarised internet bloggers happy or mad enough to write about them.

No you don't understand. It is the fault of the Demiurge, who take pleasure in watching us skirm and flail around, confused.

But do not worry my friend. I have built a rocket that will take me to the stars, where the false creator reside. And I'll bring a nuke with me, to finally bring this world to an end so that we can take our rightfull place among the Heavens.

Stay safe and praised be Jehova. Death to the Demiurge.

>Implying you can fight human nature
You cant prevent the robots because Humans sharing and big government not going corrupt is impossible. Universal income wil make all of us dull and numb because of lack of purpous.
>>
>>380712418
the free market will fix that
>>
>>380710985
yes

they also love the diversity meme because they can handwave any criticism about the game itself as "entitled white gamer bros"

while they force draconian DRM, games get shorter, more DLC that costs more, multiplayer modes where you pay to get better weapons, etc. everyone is too busy fighting over the badly written tranny character that gets shoved in for no reason other than virtue signaling
>>
Yeah because nothing screams sales like being made fun of on a korean gookcartoon forum.

Really helped out guys like Jeb Bush and Hillary Clinton to be mercilessly mocked on 4chan
>>
>>380710985
they're thinking with AI logic and short term profits
"new" naturally attracts people, they don't give a fuck about niggers and muh 6 million, they just use these features because they weren't in use before
once it gets old, another one will take its place

I wish I could still be so hopefull but socialism seems to allways fail and capatalism seems like the best way to run a country. Universal Basic Income doesnt sound like a solution. Soon the rich will either kill us, birth controll us or give us the universal basic income wich will leave us as their play things because they have all the power and the common people wont be used to ever doing anything.

I'd love it but no, people really do care this much about political correctness, even when it's in a setting where this mindset wasn't a thing.
>>
>>380713341
Its not for 4chan, its so people can point to it and say "Hey, the bad guy's hate us, so clearly we must be the good guys!" When 4chan was talked about by lefty media during the election, it was always accompanied by demonization of 4chan. The same thing can be done with Far Cry 5, tell everyone how progressive your game is by comparing it to those evil white nationalist 4channers who hate it, while gaining awareness of the game and brand recognition. 4chan isn't a market, its a tool to get to the people who are the opposite of that market.
>>
>>380710985
Whatever they're doing, it's not working for me. I don't care about any of that stuff because one day I'm gonna be dead and I need to spend my time doing things I enjoy, such as lurking 4chan, playing video games and not caring about everything you listen in your post.
>>
>>380714064
Yeah but 4chan's opposition to this shit isn't even overtly malicious. It's more along the lines of "Look at what these losers have done now you wont believe it lmao"

They're not the bad guys they're just an embarrassment.
>>
>>380714297
Yeah, that's my point, its shown as a cesspool of villainy to make whatever its opposing it look better, usually the person showing the site that way, when really 4chan is only a cesspool.
>>
>>380710985
If it is they are dumb as shit because they are destroying their profits

But normies actually enjoy 4chan memes/jokes when they see them with context and exposing them to 4chan memes like WE WUZ usually has the opposite effect the progressives want.

There's a reason they keep their hysterical reporting away from the mainstream news sites and keep them in their clickbait echo chambers

Memes and jokes? Sure, and some of the media is retarded and thinks making Pepe a hate symbol is going to get the effect they want, but things like that Far Cry 5 petition was clearly made for the purpose of getting people who think 4chan is a hole of villainy to have sympathy for Ubisoft. People saying Far Cry 5 is a racist, anti-american game doesn't get anyone laughing or interested in 4chan. It was a decently effective tactic. People in the comments of that petition even said they were now interested in buying Far Cry 5.

No. You're myopic. It is only really a controversy on /v/ and not selling copies here.
>>
>>380716171
This. Staying off 4chan or any other high traffic forum or message board literally makes it seem like nothing is going wrong in the internet and when you get back you spot just how outrageously high people take the level of their own bullshit just to make a "point".

No Mexican people, no Asian people, who actually fought more. No arabs. Its not that they wanted for you to feel included, which even then, is dumb. Its for Blackification.

What did call of duty mean by this?
>>
>>380716074
There is a plurality of people here who are actually really upset about Far Cry 5 though. I'm not sure if that petition is actually a false flag.
