Did politics ruin the gaming industry?

2007
>iPhone
>Big Bang Theory

Coin based arcade machines WERE our eras microtransactions.

yea but they didnt turn them into jackpot machines with payouts and put them right in to your house.
>team fortress 2 hats was the start of it
and they were a forced fad. gape newell did exactly what everybody hated. every idiot who talks about or uses steam isnt a gamer. thats teh only way to say who or who isn't a gamer and get real opinions in the current year.
gape said his single player achievements were being stolen (multiplayer """unlocks""") in the game tf2, and then so in turn he "stole" back the game, inserted "hats" then gave it out for free and said the hats were just for him to, "make a little bit of money" with.
it was the ante up for the poker slot machien that is tf2.
>wins are spammed in chat
>theres a game that gives you one(free hat) just for loaidng it up, you get the "achievement" and "win" the hat. Games name?: Night at the Poker Table
>buyers of the game got a free hat for them stealing it from you...
Like i didnt go to buy a godamn barbie doll. fuck gape newell fuck him to hell. he ruined gaming. niggerfaggots go suck on his dick all the time. you cant even speak about this in Any Forums without getting your topic shut down or mabye you even banned. any subject about games really sucking I mean REALLy and it gets shut down. like when you say the WHY's, they shut it down oy vey the goyim know.

>name one thing your generation of games has over modern games.

At least most of them shipped in a proper functional state allowing you to complete the game from start to finish. Most modern games work on the assumption that the developer can just patch it later. The recent Battlefield has been such an embarrassment in this regard it might very well have killed the brand at this point. Get fucked retard.

It contributed, but it's also painted itself into a corner basically right out the gate

1) OP's image is clearly referring to home console and PC games.
2) Players who got gud could beat a game on a single quarter. Modern games have content gated behind massive cooldown timers that players must pay MTX to overcome if they don't want to spend a decade to beat a given game.

Absolutely, cod sucks now and they're hiding a bunch of womans are making them because they know how fans will react

just because some games takes time to play doesnt make them godamn microtransactions so shut your fucking nigger mouth. its niggers liek you who get those games out then pretend they are real its the fucking notion that any of this DLC COSMETICS SHIT has ANY value.
examples
