Nintendo just betrayed it's fandom permanently.
Legit seasons and months of teased directs, easter eggs on the tweets, and little stuff like instagram descriptions, not to mention the huge insider scoops and other directs they did over the years. even Sabi was building up to something. And then today it's all just a Partner Showcase. All the first party games and deep gameplay for another transparent shovelware cash grab that oh-so-convenientually coincides with them reselling old games for $60 due to being money grubbing jerks. Not mention you them dropping MP4 and not giving Gold Coins to new players there guaranteeing its going to die off even more
Nintendo has no honor and is just a shameless sellout. One thing to have one-off sgame specific direct and stuff but literally killing the main direct and having AN ENTIRE DIRECT dedicated to boring Rocky shovelware is just shortsighted and insane.
I will be taking my money elsewhere and banning Nintendo from my household.

Valve just betrayed it's fandom permanently.
Legit games and months of hats, GabeN on the reddits, and little stuff like Half Life: Alyx, not to mention the huge Summer Sales and other sales they did over the years. even the Scout was building up to something. And then today it's all just a Steam update. All the sales and coupons for another UI update that oh-so-conveniently coincides with them selling old skins for $.06 due to being money grubbing jerks. Not mention you them dropping Steam Music and not giving Steam Marketplace to new players there guaranteeing its going to die off even more
Volvo has no honor and is just a shameless sellout. One thing to have one-off sgame specific sale and stuff but literally killing the Summer Sale and having AN ENTIRE SALE dedicated to boring Rochentai JRPGs shovelware is just shortsighted and insane.
I will be taking my money elsewhere and banning Volve from my household.

Lore. Lore never changes.
Since the dawn of Epic Games, when Tim Sweeney first discovered the earning power of kids and video games, stories have been built up in the name of everything: from teased story to easter eggs to simple, Dark Souls-esque descriptions.
In the year 2020, after decades of video games, the destructive nature of Epic could sustain itself no longer. Fortnite was plunged into an abyss of Marvel tie-ins and household bans.
But it was not, as some had predicted, the end of Save the World. Instead, the Marvel skins were simply the prologue to another bloody chapter of Epic history. For Marvel had succeeded in betraying the story - but lore, lore never changes.

The only lore I know from Unreal Tournament is that Malcom looks like a hard ass dude.
Yeah just found out about this from my little nephew. He was bawling uncontrollably and just saying "but the lore" "but the lore" over and over again. Fuck you epic.
Yeah, why did they have to monetize and ruin the purity of this game?

Let make this clear to anyone who's gonna read this:
I will not be shamed for being optimistic and excited for Fortnite's lore.
Not by you. And not by anyone.
You will never understand how I feel

They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a shitty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

Can we just lock this thread and unlock the Nintendogs one. I know it's a joke thread (or at least I really hope so) but I want to talk about Nintendogs in 2020.
I mean, yeah, actually, it does. It's been a slow drip feed, and it's not always been easy to follow because Epic themselves seems to change directions at random sometimes, but it's there, kind of.
But it's loose enough that OP is totally overreacting and nothing about what's going on in this season of the game invalidates anything from previous seasons.
Brand new copypasta huh. I was actually here for this one unlike the Square one and various other ones used often.
Until this is never used again
Until this is never used again
The game with the dabbing banana man had a lore that you were so invested in that contradicting it is considered a heinous offense?
I thought so too but then I went to see the OP post history and he seems to be deep into the fortnite universe.
I love you ERA
The fact that isn't really a copy and paste should tell ya'll. Gaming side be on some shit
