Tell me how many seafood based restaurants exist. A majority of them shut down because seafood is a niche food to have around in comparison to burgers or pork.

Let's be real. Seafood restaurants in the caliber of Red Lobster and Long John Silver are likely going to disappear. Seafood is too niche of a product to survive solely on these days.

This implies there's even a chance for a change in the first place, which there isn't.

It's gen 9. Scarlet and Violet are irrelevant.

How much do you want to bet there's people who think this is worse than him funding Israel or other actual complaints you can give to him?

he has been slipping into more right wing style content lately

Can argue a large majority of Youtubers have been slipping right wing as of late. This is just inevitable for long term content creators.

Wrong

when a person dies he or she gets a new life

Where's the proof. A passage from a book or church doesn't count. Where's the science.

There is a good chance not only will the bullies not feel any remorse for their actions but in 20-30 years, they will become politicians and will use this to strengthen their ideals.

Its so fucked.

There is no god, happiness is just an artificial construct for capitalism, and when you die, it is nothing but the cold darkness surrounding you as you forget you even exist for all of eternity.

Only reason they're still keeping Brock around is for last second merchandise sales. After that well dries up, they will kick him out for good after this controversy.

Does a CEO shift ever actually change anything?

The occupation as a whole seems to be 99.9% idiotic money sinks.

Have to look like they're doing something to the masses so it is just a change in name only.

Doubt much will change in the long run, though.

It'll do the whole thing where the successful stuff all merged together (this has actually been happening for a long time already, but even more so) and everything else disappears.

So we'll basically have a couple of indie open world gatcha multiplayer-only Roguelike soulslikes.

A worldwide monopoly of video game companies is a possibility.

I cannot wait for this reality that was totally not thought up on the fly.

Man, Square going multiplatform really got you in your feels today, huh?

The only thing that will realistically happen to gaming in the future is all digital with a subscription service like Gamepass with games full of ads.

No. I am actually happy they are multiplatform. Everything else is looking in the glass of how life is going. Companies being as money hungry and controlling as possible and this is the end result of it.

lots of virtual reality

50/50 odds your gaming is actually work, like in some dystopian Ender's Game. You think you're playing. But you're actually a military mech pilot with a remote connection and those orcs you're shooting are people.

VR will likely be pushed hard, especially with the advancement of technology. And will likely have a lot of security flaws for the government to spy on you.

• Emulators will be made illegal and people playing off them will be arrested by police.
• It is cheaper to criminalize people playing delisted/older games than it is to keep said games on sale. A technicality in laws will be made to get people in jail for playing delisted and retro games.
• All game companies will have a subscription to even boot up their games, even physically. Want to play the latest Capcom/Square Enix/Konami/EA/Whatever game? You must pay 39.99 a month to even boot it.
• Games will cost 200 dollars a piece now.
• Consoles, if they still exist will stop selling indie games, citing "Quality reasons"(AKA they don't want them to overshadow their AAA games)
• Patches for both consoles and games will be paid. Need to patch that dangerous security exploit on your Xbox? Pay up 19.99 and it'll be patched.
• For America at least, certain games will be made illegal to own. Do you live in Kentucky and want to play the newest GTA? Move out of state or go through illegal means to get your copy of the game and hope police don't knock at your door.
• Violence and sex will be butchered hard in games unless they're from a first party developer for advertisor reasons. Think what Youtube did but for gaming.
• 90% of IPs will be forgotten about entirely and companies think it is a financial risk to even acknowledge them.

Anything else did I miss. This is a realistic take where the future will go, after all.

While Rebirth and 16 on PC and Xbox is obvious I wonder if this means Kingdom hearts will be on other PC store fronts and not just Epic or if that is a technicality.

I will say given how things are, FF14 is literally the only thing carrying them afloat and there is a good chance Dawntrail will be their last expansion ever made before they go bankrupt and shut down.

Unironically that kind of technology is being looked into.

Time to get a VPN if that happens.

There's politicians who want to ban VPNs too so don't be surprised if that happened.

There's already Magic players accusing WOTC with promoting sexualization of young girls with this Miku collab.

Make of that as you will.

Some people will be cheering for this ban.

Also yes. I noticed the typo on the title. My phone sucks with autocorrecting.

Makes me wonder if Trump were to give in to his McDonalds diet before the November election, would the Republicans even know that he's dead?

They'll probably pull a Weekend at Bernie's on him than admit he is dead to his followers.

Place your bets how long until Rocksteady is closed.

First it'll be movies. Then we'll have AI generated games. And some companies want to use AI for fast food, TV, and even therapy.

Soon there will be no more human jobs.

These days games like this only want realistic weapons to be taken seriously by reviewers. At most those weapons will only appear for a limited time in GTA Online.

They likely intentionally sabotaged Arrowhead and once sales dwindle hard, they'll buy up Arrowhead and their IPs and dissolve the company to work on their first party titles.

It wouldn't be the first time a company intentionally sabotaged another ones success for their own gain.

Didn't someone get permabanned for saying they were a fetus?

In ten years it'll be double that.

Maybe these censorships wouldn't happen if devs stop making their characters look like children.

Just wait until a new trendy type of anime comes around that'll make the oversaturation of Isekai look tame by comparison.

This is the only way to stop something from being trendy in a medium: Something trendier comes and oversaturates the market even harder.

How long until it's any "adult" material and major companies aren't gonna want to deal with all this shit so instead of "add an ID to watch the next season of Fallout", it'll be "Fallout isn't available to stream in your state."

This is inevitable. And it'll go straight to trying to buy mature books and games online. So be prepared to either use a VPN to even buy and play GTA6, have to move, or have Amazon or wherever you're buying it block you in your state.

Considering that Dragon Quest is like THE RPG franchise in Japan, it would be crazy for them to cancel the one thing that will arguably help them make more money.

It isn't unheard of, though. And given this is modern Square Enix, it is still a possibility.

Hooray for more Final Fantasy 7 crap.

Boo if a Tactics remake/remaster is among the casualties.

We all know Tactics is scrapped. Don't kid yourself.

Oh yeah, AI is going to render entertainment obsolete.

More like all jobs and not just entertainment. Besides art and voice acting, there have been people using AI to replace teachers and therapists too.

Add police onto the very long list of things that need to be fixed/reformed once (if) the Democrats gain full control of the presidency and Congress, as well as wining in state elections.

We really need to find and push out the bad cops. Reform the hiring process for new cops and appropriately punish cops who break the law.

There is no way to fix police. The only solution is to get rid of the concept of police entirely because by the very nature of police, it leads to this route.

Let's be real: They will gladly get rid of the board because of people talking about fanservice anime, lolicon, and the "best girl" threads you see now and then.

It has red flags of a board going away next.

So youre saying youre like this? Because I certainly am not.

I am not either. There are exceptions. But when you look on news, see how people respond to even mere video game news with death threats, and even go outside because I see a bunch of people at each others throats all the time, there is a precedent here.

Speaking of disgusting, normalizing psychopathy like this is pretty fucking disgusting.

There's a difference between accepting normalizing it and pointing it out. I am not normalizing it, I am merely pointing out how this is how most humans naturally are. I don't like it at all and I feel sick but this is how the human race is.

Oh fuck no, they better not.

Why has this site gone to shit this badly over the last few months?

This is actually an all around internet case. If you look at credit card companies forcing other companies to remove NSFW content, you can't even swear to be published in some sites articles or videos, and everything like that, it is a grander scale of sanitizing the Internet.

They restrict politics here. They're getting rid of the sex and religious boards.

If the boards are kept which is a BIG if, how long until they fully ban swearing?

I wish I can believe that. Every single area I have personally ever been to has nothing but aggressive, violent people. And there's nothing but violence and lack of empathy from Gen Z and Alpha kids. Their predecessors aren't much better either.

This is just the reality of things.

Murphiroth posted...

Shut the fuck up with your dumb bullshit lmao.

Humans are naturally violent and aggressive as a species.

And use it as an excuse to close every single board on this site. Don't be surprised if you wake up one day to see your account gone and an announcement of all boards being closed because of a "Server error".

Fandom will go that far to try and look remotely decent.

I have been telling people that all boards will be closed.

Wait until admins "Accidentally" purge all the users from a "error" and they use it to shut down every single board.

As disgusting as it is, this is how humans normally are. It's disgusting but this is normal for what this species is.
