Why is video games allowed four fucking containment boards?

Also if its video game news with any form of political slant which is +50% of it nowadays, it can only be discussed on /pol/. I agree OP, this board has an identity crisis.

Why not make /vpol/ then? Isn't that the trend here? Any form of dissent and you split up into another fucking containment board. Is all this separatism just to contain hurt fee fees? fucking disgusting

/v/ could never be saved. It was a lost cause. too many shitposters, too many people who DON'T want to talk about video games

The only way to save video game discussion was to take it elsewhere and let the shitposters have /v/.

this is literally subreddits tier my newfriend, where is the fucking cleanup operation

The need for /vp/ has gone a long time ago.

Why?
out of necessity.
When one board becomes two different topics posted daily the board needs to divide.
Some people only like to play one game and they make a thread about it daily, that belong on /vg/.
Some people only like games of the past, that belongs on /vr/
/vp/ is it's own cancer.
And /v/ is for current discussions about the industry, recent games that have come out, and game theory in general.

That is a load of shit. /mu/ has anons with widely different taste in music and you don't see that board splitting into genres or contemporary fetishes. Just because "some people" are crying that does not even come close to warrant the creation of a new containment board. And all the topics you listed are made moot because in practice that is never what is discussed on those boards.

Not really.
It is still functioning as a grease trap that keeps underages babysat and the worst people in general occupied, since they are generally too dumb to find trash.
It is still serving a valuable purpose to 4chan as a whole.

/vg/ is for people playing games.
/v/ is for talk about the vidya industry.
Why is this so hard for people to grasp?

Sorry for not wanting to discuss garbage like TotalBiscuit's political tweets

No you can take that to /pol/ thats my fucking point. It doesn't belong on any board prefixed with /v
