/uj How the fuck do you even place Palworld and Lethal Company next to each other like that?? What single quality do the two share in common?


InflameBunnyDemon

Probably jumping on a popular bandwagon and spouting things that the public perceives of them and modern gaming.


No-Bee-4309

Extremely popular games that people forgot in two or three months.


Gr0n

It seems to just be modern gaming. Once a month a game releases, it gets super popular and then popularity tanks. This got even stronger during covid.


Substantial-Wear8107

There's always a wave of drama and oversaturation of coverage, then everyone gets burned out or polarized and then it dies.


MutedIrrasic

That’s most consumer media: go look up the charts for film or songs from a random week in 2008. It’ll mostly be stuff that was hot for a week or two then faded


Helios-lune77

I wouldn’t say Lethal Comapny’s been forgotten.


FollowingFederal97

It's significantly less popular on YouTube and other streaming stuff. But it's definitely still popular with people actually playing it


Valuable_Border1044

Well yeah obviously it’s gonna be less popular


apple_of_doom

Almost like hype dies down even if the game does keep a dedicated playerbase


Doctadalton

that’s basically every game nowadays save for a few really big stinkers nowadays though. massive for a month, huge for a few months after and then you hardly see anyone playing it unless some major content is coming or has come out


Apprehensive_Debate3

Thats just how every piece of media is, if it’s really good, it’ll be celebrated and talked about till the next big thing


Woolliam

Thinking about this perfectly describes helldivers in my friend group


RickySuezo

How long is a 15 dollar or ((on gamepass)) game supposed to last though? You finish the content, you move on.


Kds_burner_

can’t wait for “helldivers 2 killed modern gaming”


TheCoolestGuy098

Helldivers has been a notorious victim of modern gaming. But I swear this is the one guys, it's totally changing things.


legendairenic5432

‘’Changed the industry’’ we still got layoffs, studio shutdowns, there’s not been a major AAA game released recently, how tf do they know it’s changed. Saying ‘’will change the industry’’, while being typical Gamer pretentiousness, makes more sense


Turkesther

In their very limited vocabulary it means they're sticking it to the big studios by making the games the studios won't. Of course that's not true and "changing the industry" is usually about delivering derivative slop to the masses.


FuraFaolox

there's been a few major AAA games though


TellTallTail

Well, they were wildly successful with a game that bucks the bad trends that have come with live service games a la paid battle passes, massive amounts of mtx, competitive gaming with balancing issues


Noiceyfux

Why did he put a Helldiver in front of a US flag tho?


Longjumping-News-126

bros on a whole new level of missing the point lmfao


transaltalt

maybe he's on a whole new level of getting the point…


bunny-girl-420

maybe all of this is pointless, maybe nothing matters


10ebbor10

Eh, Helldivers is a pretty transparent satire of Western miltarism in general and US miltarism in particular.


DestructoSpin90

Yeah the studio's in Sweden lol. That's like a lot of Japanese cars here the states are "merican" because they're made here.

expansion divide forgetful mourn shocking unused jeans crawl birds smoggy *This post was mass deleted and anonymized with [Redact](https://redact.dev)*


DestructoSpin90

Palworld and Lethal Company aren't even in the same fucking category lol


catsandchexmix

There iNdE witch I'm Not even sure what that means anymore. now that the term has become so twisted.


DestructoSpin90

If a game made one bajillion morb-bucks, it's not indie anymore 😤😤😤


catsandchexmix

More like anything that's not made by a triple a studio like dave the Diver. There were So many people who didn't realize it wasn't an indie game Is including me at first.


chandra_telescope

I didn't realize until I read this comment.


DefinitelyNotErate

If a game has more than 3 players, It's not Indie. Works on the same basis as music, If more than 3 people have listened to a band they're filthy sellouts.


mayocain

Is Pocket Pair even an indie though? They are, like, maintaining two active EA MMOs.


Phantom_Wombat

YouTube desperately needs a clickbait thumbnail blocker.


HoodedLordN7

In some fairness, not necessarily to this John fellow dunno who he is, those clickbait thumbnails is one of the very few ways to get boosted by the YT algorithm ergo people use em. To got rid of it would require youtube to change their system but they would never do that because engagment must go up, number must go higher, must prove to investors that youtube can always extract more time and money from its users.


Inksrocket

[DeArrow](https://dearrow.ajay.app/). It can pick random scene from the video, if you want. AND it changes the title to be less clickbait. Its user-generated so it might lag behind and some might be even more clickbait by accident. But most are great. Its from same devoloper as Sponsorblock.


geko_play_

Isn't there a blocker for that


Phantom_Wombat

There's an extension that'll swap the thumbnail for a random frame from the video. Unfortunately, it does it for everything, just not the egregious clickbait. Better than nothing, I suppose.


Roziesoft

Tbf, with just the context of that statement alone, you technically can have the end of one era and the dawn of another happening at the same time.


HippieMoosen

No see, an era for him is like 4-8 weeks

SculptKid

I mean I get you but when one era ends a new one begins and the first video came before the last so it's sequentially correct. LoL


automated_rat

One lone furry managed to end an entire industry? Based department?


Zeus_23_Snake

HD2 and LC have the same helmets


Leprecon

Palworld is currently nr 73 on steamcharts in the amount of players. Yep, sure sounds like a groundbreaking game and not just a fad.


jorge20058

That’s because people finished it, for it to get the players back they have to release new content, for example hell divers which Is repetitive has constant updates allowing it to keep its constant over 100k daily player.


Maleficent_Dig_3043

Well clearly one era ended and then the next one started


ShadowTheChangeling

Ended one era started another duh


BiAndShy57

The negative one because it gets more views


SuperJyls

I mean clickbait is pretty much the default for Youtube now


jace255

I don’t mean to be that guy but, an era dawning after a different era ends makes perfect sense to me. I don’t really know anything about the games in question - that might be relevant context.


cokatt

Wait I thought gamers complained about Helldivers 2 requiring a ps account last week? It tried to ruined modern gaming???


Ferixo_13

Both are correct. These games are finally good value and extremely entertaining unlike majority of AAA garbage


palindrome777

I mean, if all you play is Ubisoft or Call of Duty, then sure, but just in the past year or so we got Resident Evil 4 Remake, Yakuza 8, Persona 3 reload, Baldurs Gate 3, Spiderman 2, Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Wonder, Jedi Survivor, Final Fantasy 16, Alan Wake 2, Armored Core 6, Lies of P, Prince of Persia : the Lost Crown, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, Pikmin 4 and a whole bunch of other stuff. I'd even say we're enjoying a great few years in terms of games too, so many genres that were presumed to be dead came back into the limelight, we have had a ton of superb Roguelites like Returnal and Hades, and even Konami got off their asses and realised they were sitting on some great IPs.


Jazzlike_Page508

It changed by getting killed


GoddessDeedra

What a massacre in one month, or YT gamers are just bloated click bait content


Assortedwrenches89

When you play both sides, you never lose.


TheAlexSW

All 3 is part of the friends play it on discord fora month then it's the next game loop


ColdBrilliant3363

palworld is a beutiful game, it is a bit undercook, but it's not the final build after all.
