All of the ads that popped up in video game magazines were surreal as hell
Like a breeding ground for nascent edgelords
I wouldn't go so far as to say you're outright wrong, but I feel the nuance of subtlety is important here. These ads are cheeky without intending to be overtly offensive. I imagine most folks see edge lords as the childish button pushers that they are, and this is more developed and mature, imo, of course.
Ah... My favorite ad for Quake 3 Arena from back in the day:
Anyone remember that ad campaign with everyone showing off their gigantic disgusting thumb blisters that they got from playing video games for so long?
This is so on point for a game like Incredible Crisis
emotional damage
Threats of violence make good games not good working conditions
Vote No to video game unions
you had half of a good idea, but your call to action is winner of a shit eating contest
threat of poverty is quite enough already.
but hey, if you wish — someone will break your arms if you dont make the best videogame ever. you are welcome.
It’s parody
