Gaming journalism has been garbage for a long time, it's just that Gamergate brought it into mainstream attention and revealed just how deep the rabbit hole goes

in that case dont starve must be a game about living under communism at any point in history

and if i find any game about killing yourself thatd be the game about nazism

>linking directly to the site

Wanna know how I know you're the author faggot?

Some gaming journalism isn't too bad. People who write walkthroughs are good people.
The rest can hang.

>Why are these people getting paid to write articles like these?
Because you link them here. You're probably the fucking author.

Why do millenials and always say every fictional society that is terrible living in is a metaphor for capitalism?

It doesn’t matter what it is, if it sucks to live in, it’s a metaphor for capitalism, and all dystopians they create are based around “capitalism”. That or 1800s/1950s America with a huge hard on for muh racism.

Like no metaphorical society based on the fall of Rome, or a society without modern medicine. Even then, they probably would link it to capitalism somehow.

They don't understand how lucky they are to be living in modern times where you can move up and down the social ladder with ease these days.
Capitalism is the freedom to become anything you want to be as long as you are clever about it.

Im not clicking that shit

Imagine being a gaming journalist.
Gamers don't respect you because you're a shill and/or a hack.
Other journalists don't respect you because you write about children's toys instead of "important" things like unsubstantiated political rumors.
Your boss and company management don't respect you. They don't care what your rating for a game is, they just calculate the review score based on how much money they got from the publisher. Then they want you to shit out a review supporting that in as little time as possible.
If my life was that pathetic, I would probably lash out at everyone and everything too.

>Like no metaphorical society based on the fall of Rome
Yeah it's really weird how people relate to the things they know and not something that happened a thousand years ago

>If my life was that pathetic, I would probably lash out at everyone and everything too.
This is essentially what Zig Forums is

Archive link or copypaste?

>HEY GUYS LOOK AT THIS STUPID ARTICLE YOU SHOULD TOTALLY CLICK IT AND GET MAD AT IT LOLLLL
no

Honestly an economic system where I can beat my enemies to death and then collect their essence to use as currency sounds pretty based to me

click-bait
it's makes you want to click but if you have even 1% of brain power you know not to so you don't support the retarded spew that you would likely read/watch

Imagine being so up your ass you don't see the one big theme in all of these games is entropy. Who the fuck reads these articles unironically? Are they actually just hoping for hate clicks writing this shit?

>what is adblock

Everything about journalism in 2020 is about tricking people into clicking on a webpage so an ad can load up and the site owner can make some money.

vice is a dying company precisely because they're garbage

The journalist gets paid by the click, even if you ad block it they're going to get hired to write more of this trash if you click on it.

because believe it or not a lot of the world's problems are linked to capitalism.

I wish I got paid to shitpost

It's your fault actually. You are watching or reading "gaming journalism" expecting... what exactly? News about games? Objective reviews? Gaming journalism is an euphemism for marketing/propaganda sites.

know your enemy. one of the tactical weaknesses of the left is that they don't actually know what the anti-leftists think, they straw man constantly. where as the anti-leftists know exactly how the leftists think to the point of being able to accurately predict exactly how they will react to any stimuli, they really are preprogrammed drones, the npc meme is real. it's also why the left can't meme

>no you don't understand I'm TACTICALLY reading pure swill clickbait I'm actually winning by giving the journalist exactly what he wants

journo was always shit especially gayming journo

t. science rejecting republicunt

>what is archive.today
>what are screenshots
>just close your eyes that's how you win a war

I thought the same thing when I played ir

You're not fighting in a war let alone winning one, you're getting mad about high school level essays on dark souls capitalism and you're doing it on a tibetian woodcutting forum.

>muh (((science)))
shit changes on a day to day basis depending on how they want people to act, what products they want people to buy. real science rarely makes headlines

No real gamer reads their shit. True gamers keep playing the games they love.

Gotta do something with their degree, so they don't have to spend another day feeling like they would have been more productive members of society with an underwater basket weaving PhD.

I unironically love capitalism.

You're delusional but I do like that frog picture thank you.

Because retards like you reward them by running to reddit and Zig Forums to direct link their blog posts.

>You're not fighting in a war let alone winning one

I know it hurts but you're gonna have to accept that Trump is still going to be the de facto president this time next year.

None of these articles come from actual scientific publications, you fucking dumbass

>Why do millenials and always say every fictional society that is terrible living in is a metaphor for capitalism?

I've never heard this until today obsessed user.

Majority of these “writers” were indoctrinated by being made to read Marx’s works. It’s so common in college for that Kraut to be a go to reading requirement.

cuck

take your meds

If that’s true, then how are they relating to capitalism?
Unless you live in Hong Kong or had lived during the Oregon Trail/Wild West, you don’t have experience with Capitalism.

People are voting for Trump on issues like the economy and immigration and law and order, not because of VICE articles about how dark souls is a metaphor for being gay.

Seethe more commie.

I know this might be obvious to a lot of people but this is literally just an advanced form of clickbait, nobody seriously considered anything in the article it's just about getting a retarded headline so people will click it

the vast majority of people do not get their opinions on science from scientific journals, i would direct you again to it's muh "the science is settled" argument. "we've read these studies so you don't have to now trust us goy"

A post-capitalist society would be pretty based

some fat asshole makes more money than you just reading your article and he reaches a bigger audience

>nononono that’s not REAL capitalism, only anarchy is capitalism!!!
shut the fuck up retard

Go look up a bunch of film and book analysis on YouTube for recent classics.
9/10 times they will say some random element is a criticism of Capitalism.

I awake from my dead rest every morning to trudge my way through a walking death at the office. I am not alive but I can never truly leave, trapped in an endless cycle. I am the chosen undead.

We know, and it gets tiring see this everywhere. This is why we have "saved you a click" twitter accounts

Neither is a Vice article you absolute troglodyte
