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.

Yeah this is also my situation outside of the local gamestop just being in a convenient spot.

Like I said before, the video game selection at my local wal-mart, target, and even best buy these days is just going to be the mainstream stuff. Your 2K sports titles, EA titles, whatever ubisoft is current slinging etc. Now we had a mom and pop video game place......that only lasted about 4 years before they shut down.

Whenever I am getting a video game thats a bit more niche/a limited or collector edition release then it has to be gamestop. Like my tormented souls disc, hades disc, after image deluxe edition, any falcom game or nis game is coming from gamestop.

Amazon is not a option because pre-ordering brand new games from them is god awful down my way. Even with prime you ain't getting shit for like at least a week when it comes to these smaller games.....poor bastards who pre-ordered the mega man battle network collection physical didn't even get theirs for 2 weeks up towards a month from amazon. Meanwhile those of us who pre-ordered at gamestop just went to the store (or actually got it from their online store, but man the online store shipping price is bonkers from gamestop these days).

Let's be real. The moment GameStop shuts down, either all of these niche titles they only had the guts to carry will either be digital only or be online only to buy physically.

Didn't the pandemic essentially kill any and all physical video game conventions? This is not a surprise at all.

Place your bets if people will hatewatch it again to the point we get a season 3. Because that is why we even have a Season 2 in the first place.

There's some areas who are so small that the only way they can get games without ordering them online is through GameStop.

So in this scenario it is either move or be shit out of luck.

Imagine people celebrating this.

I saw people unironically say they'd rather have authoritarian laws like this pass than see their kids on TikTok.

This will set a precedent. Any and all sites that have stuff America doesn't like will be banned.

Expect Wikipedia to be hit next.

I've seen that complaint for Chrono Cross, but also all the characters you recruit are forgetable and not an interesting

And Chrono Cross single handily killed that kind of feature for many people. Quite a few people didn't give Suikoden a chance because of the high character count, reminding them of Chrono Cross.

And before you bring up Pokemon, those are monsters, not actual characters.

The main point that is also killing the game is the large cast of characters. I have seen people admit they were too overwhelmed by the cast of playable and recruitable characters and think it is killing the game.

This is partly why Suikoden died out.

This is what happens when you have no set rotation in your game but I know Yugioh players admitted they'd rather have the game die out permanently than ever play with the idea of set rotation or other ways to fix the game.

I know, Nichegamer isn't a good site but this is the only one speaking about it at the moment. And this isn't just porn but anything adult too.

Full_Pokedex posted...

I mean they are completely inept at how the internet works. They've already proved this numerous times.

We still have people assuming the Internet is a fad that will die off sooner or later.

There's a reason why Suikoden died and a reason why this game will die too: Too many characters. It'll hurt the product hard and reviewers won't take kindly to it due to that.

DKBananaSlamma posted...

Yep

At this rate you can say the game and most anime-like games in general are psuedo-banned from discussion after this. Not surprised either way.

Bump.

So what happens if people post screenshots of Stellar Blade or any other game like that? Will they get banned just for that?

kirbymuncher posted...

this seems so weird to me

I could understand not doing it because you don't think it's popular, but why would you specifically say it's popular and then just still say nah forget it

Hollywood thinks they know what is best and consider stuff like this as a "fluke". That's why.

Hollywood had difficulty accepting when foreign countries barring maybe certain European countries make movies or shows that do well. It took them this long to accept content like Parasite and Squid Games.So this isn't a surprise.

Bat178 posted...

If they wanted to do that, wouldn't they do it even if it doesn't pass?

If they do it when it passes they'll have justification to do it in an attempt to play victim because they'd be "forced" to do it.

What a coincidence the new GameFAQs posting restrictions and CE becoming private happen a few days after I make this topic...

They're preparing for the law to pass. Fandom is actively hoping to do it so they can put both ID verification and a subscription to even post or read Gamefaqs.

And what if there is a series that doesn't have a wiki.gg equivalent? I guess you're shit out of luck?

If we go by this logic that every single thing that exists is political or has some political values does that mean we can't post at all outside of CE then. If we go by this logic.

And yes, people on social media think everything is inherently political. Even posting food or cat photos is.

How long until Fandom adds this to Gamefaqs, wikia, and other sites they own?

How does it feel knowing Red vs Blue, Death Battle, RWBY, etc etc will now be shelved forever due to this?

It's pretty much inevitable at this rate with how the site is going.

As a way to finally shut down Gamefaqs, or at least the forums for good an admin will "accidentally" purge the entire userbase of the site, apologize, but shut down making new accounts as an excuse to either get rid of the site or the forums at least.

I feel like we're heading to that direction.

In certain countries that statue can get you arrested.

TimeForAction posted...

five years? Youre being very generous. At this pace I give it two years tops

Just wait until one of the admins "accidentally" purge the entire userbase.

Give it five years and there will barely be any users here due to all of them getting banned or "mysteriously purged" as Fandom wants to get justification to kill the site.
