Existential Comics

lol gamer's get mad about loot boxes, horse armor DLC, rushed games, canceled games, broken and buggy games, game studios being defunded, worker's being treated like garbage But gamers don't really question much when it comes to why these things actually happen. Makes you think

Except more than a few gamers don't care how devs are treated and make this abundantly clear :-/

"This new launcher is bad, and I wouldn't use it if the company hadn't bought exclusives. This isn't competition, they're just buying customers." Really? Go on.

"It's not even buying customers, they have so much money they can lose some on a game, so long as their competition doesn't MAKE money on it. They're killing their competition so they can have a monopoly, which is bad for gamers." Interesting critique! Let's talk...

I think most people, not just gamers, assume that video games are a product of capitalism. You have to have a certain degree to political education to know that games are likely to be better when produced by worker owned organizations.

Absolutely! Just look at companies like Sierra On-Line, id Software, Dynamix, Interplay, and Epic Megagames. They made some *great* games in the days before consolidation.

Capital-G Gamers identify too heavily as consumers, and have demonstrated repeatedly that they don't care if staff get screwed as long as a game meets its deadline and has 60 FPS

Also it has to be launched using this one single desktop icon, because it is run by Good Corporation who deserves worship and all our money, and not Bad Corporation who is the same but they're not the one we currently Like
