Or perhaps the fact that these days the majority of multiplayer games all follow the same layout and process they might as well be the same game can’t possibly be the issue.

Personal gripe with epic is the fact that Fortnite is the reason they stopped Unreal Tournament.

This is the genius idea they want to shovel into games and call it “innovation”? Sweeney, buddy, your head is too far up your ass. Or maybe this is the result of spending too much time malding at Valve. Either way, this is patently absurd and it sounds like an April fools gag.

No, multiplayer games are failing because they’re cash grabs, lifeless and boring. Pretty straight forward Tim. Get your head out of your ass.

Make games w Difficulty, Learning curves, Stakes and Consequences again!
Games these days are little more than walk-through tutorials that auto save every 30seconds, and infinite respawns where there is no threat of Actual Loss
Even the all free for all type games!
Kids these days have never had to put anything like real effort and attention into Anything, you’ve basically designed the (equally detrimental to society) BS
no “child” left behind theory of schooling into today’s games falsely teaching upcoming generations that they don’t need to have skill, aptitude, or even really Any ability to achieve to get anywhere, to move up, or even really gain access in the first place
That they don’t have to so much Try to continue…
And as someone who has had to ( at least attempt to) train a dozen or so people (on an assembly line)
IT SHOWS! No one wants to do anything, Try to, or put forth Any effort if they do, and when asked to apply themselves they cry to management that Everyone is “being mean to them” for doing so!
These kids… Hell this reaches back at least as far as my own generation being 42yrs old, and I do believe we were in school when the “just push then through” program…. I mean the no child left behind programs began… 50% (if not Higher) of HS Graduates either Can’t or can Barely Read… One shouldn’t pass 3rd grade w the reading skills that many Adults showcase
Yet at a certain age these clowns are still permitted to Drive, Drink, Vote. . . When I wouldn’t be comfortable letting a lot of these folks vote for AGT contestants!
And these are the people, who expect everything to be Just Handed To them that’re gonna vote away what’s left of our human rights and privacy to get as much as they can Handed to them!
So congrats on assisting in the downfall of society and the species as a whole!

Cross game chat exists. Multi-player is dying because of micro monetization and removing good content from the in game loop. Also there is no TRUE coop games like Destiny 1 was all the IP’s are dying due to massive micro transactions and games aren’t made for the players anymore.

No they are failing BECAUSE 90% or more of them are TOO “WOKE”!!!

The gaming industry as a whole needs to be staffed by the same type of people it was
15 – 20 years ago!!!

STOP hiring people based on sex/race/politcal views for quotas/personal reasons over those who ARE MORE QUALIFIED!!!

Comment on Following calls to oust Kadokawa’s CEO and reform FromSoftware game publishing, activist investor Oasis raises stake to 15.25%, with plans to buy more shares by Pmoney5

Pmoney5 — Sat, 27 Jun 2026 15:24:01 +0000

Oasis will be the end of Kadokawa and the industry. Activists investors have killed Hollywood and western entertainment and we have more than enough proof of this. In fact even western media outlets that promoted global standards are starting to realize this. If people wanted sanitized slop they would watch or play western entertainment. They will get control tank the company and entertainment meduim than sell. In fact Tencent is doing this right now with several Japanese studios Marvelous is just one example.

No guys they fail because every game you make is littered with microtransactions and you care more about how to pinch a dollar in every way other than focusing on making good rememberable experiences for the player. Ps2 never had these issues when it released their games they werent trying to cater to audiences they werent filled to the brim with microtransactions and the games released on it werent priced at 100 dollars a game. The games industry is just trying to print money instead of trying to make good games stop blaming a single genre of games for why people dont play them and instead look at your garbage games and get rid of microtransactions take games back to 50 dollars at release and tell the developers to spend money more wisely so they arent forced to steal it from the pockets of players

The problem I haven’t seen anyone address: every new game is a contender in an “attention economy” where every game does its best to hook you in for as many of your disposable hours as possible. This is why Steam backlogs are a thing. It’s not that we don’t want to play the games. We just don’t have the time when we’re already invested in one for X hours per night. The industry and gamers ourselves have grown this problem ever since “this game has 120 hours of gameplay” became an important metric.

Comment on Japanese government to launch a centralized organization to support the global expansion of games, anime and manga by jal11180

In reply to 90sAnime. Here is the thing, the cartoons/Western manga were not exactly as family friendly as well, as a lot of political agendas always seeped through them as well. Moreover, the Japanese people consider ALL animation as anime, and you are a delusional, elitist, and weeb, hypocrite if you say otherwise on the matter.

Have you considered maybe the issue isn’t multiplayer games, but actually co-op? I’d love to play more games like Emissary Zero with friends, but there’s a severe shortage of games like that for groups larger than two.

Maybe they should lose all the useless ads and stuff that monitors interactions. And focus on gameplay and physics. Ps2 and 3 games have better NPC interactions like fall out, red faction and far cry’s game engine…

In reply to Dafuq.

Without bringing politics into this, because frankly the only ones having a meltdown are the wing nuts.

We are tired of the same old slop being repackaged as new and Innovative. Multi-player grinds are boring, IMHO. I lose interest fast and despise PVP. I also do not like this insane push toward loot boxes and gacha…

I cannot speak for the industry within Japan itself, as this article has done, but if Japan is genuinely concerned about losing the animation race to China and Korea, they’d do well to take note that they make an effort to leave out many of the problematic tropes found in Japanese anime that the international community complains about. Many anime fans are tired of seeing incest and sexualized children, so they turn to Donghua or Manhwa. Of course, Japanese animators take offense to this being mentioned, and some have even made a point to say that anime is/should only be made for Japanese people and culture, which is entirely their prerogative but a poor business choice if they wish to thrive in an international business.
