Former Halo composer, failed game studio head and current MAGA chud Marty O'Donnell
O'Donnell is the Republican nominee to represent Nevada's 3rd congressional district in the 2026, challenging incumbent Democrat Susie Lee.
Oh no he's back in politics
You'd think a guy who worked on fucking Halo in its heyday would know about co-op games
Is this person talking about gambling?
"nobody wants to play a game where everyone wins"
Majority of games are literally curated achievement simulators
Also if they don't like it when everyone wins, then you'd think they'd appreciate the competition of people disagreeing with them
No no no. They can't compete because it's a rigged playing field. We live under far left communism after all.

Composer, doesn't understand jack shit about what made those games successful.

I think competitive pvp games are not the majority of the industry. I also think that this only really seems to apply to shooters, and I think I could get even more granular by saying shooters targeted at dudes, because it doesn't really apply to the Overwatch community for example, it doesn't apply to the FGC (anymore) and it doesn't apply to Splatoon, all are pretty competitive. It applies to the dude shooters for masculine manly boys that break their controllers.
It's just classic conservative whining about participation trophies which they liken socialised housing and healthcare to and muh meritocracy packaged in gamer lingo by a cringy boomer
So in other words games are being used as a part of the fascist psyop for the target demographic of "straight, white, male" by ways of catering to the underlying biases of a patriarchal liberal society found among those fans of this specific type of gaming experience, aka. the problem is capitalism? Damn
360 era shooters are definitely this. That whole era was a psyop. I'm not even joking.
Pretty much. This specific type of game has a crowd of man babies and they only consider this one specific type of game to be "gaming" therefore nothing else makes you a gamer or some shit. To be fair it is most of these games: 
There's just something extraordinarily mediocre about modern gaming elitism. I remember when people got made fun of for playing Halo and Call of Dooty. And the thing is that it's not like COD players try to argue that COD is harder than UT or Q3A. Dota elitists are the same deal. They shit on other mobas as if Dota wasn't shit on back in the day for being played by people who sucked too hard at WC3 (which in turn was shit on for being played by people who sucked too hard at real RTS).
The elitism simultaneously shits on other games below the totem pole but pretends that games above the totem pole don't exist. In other words, it's a defense and celebration of being in the middle of the totem pole. Hence, elitism of mediocrity.
People don't like triple A games because they're slot machines, with dark patterns to manipulate your emotions to make purchases in their store.
The store is now the first aspect of the game they design these days, meaning the game itself is a secondary thought.
Oddly enough Indie games are thriving, and are often woke.
Oh it's the guy who got run out of Bungie after decades of public prominence for being such an insufferable piece of shit
IIRC he even got banned from the Halo subreddit for being annoying and trying to get his fans to brigade it or soemthing. This was before he came out fully as a chud
It's just crazy to think about. Imagine a world where Akira Yamaoka is online enough to know the Silent Hill subreddit exists and is also pathetic enough to engage in internet slapfights with the people on it to the extent he gets shown the door

If I was a video game developer and my games' fans were the same sort who cry about black people in movies and video games, I'd be on their subreddit all of ten seconds before I got hit with a permaban for telling them I wish they'd all die in a fire
my favorite kind of dev is the kind who will openly tell their chud fans to refund the game and fuck off forever
Meaningless word salad. If you think this is poignant you are genuinely dim.
It's so funny this idea that the more left it is the more everyone wins. Like remind me what you had to do to unlock Darth Vader without paying for it in that Star Wars slop game? Gamers naturally intuit egalitarian ethics because they hate P2W and censorship. What are we doing here? Nobody thinks the gameplay loop of private health insurance is playable.
Imagine if you could allow noobs to leave your ranked lobbies and you got prestigious skins at a certain ELO.
Mario but woke and left wing: Instead of fighting Bowser to rescue the princess, they all just play golf or go go-karting together or something.
At this point it is fucking Gulag for people pretending gamers are some kind of single minded and on top conservative hive mind. BG3 did so damn well and I don't think because of the genre but what a piece of art it was. I mean it is not really woke I guess? But people talking nonsense like this pos would for sure call it that because "how dare you let people choose queer romance".
These days I don't enjoy talking about my love for gaming because of assholes branding "gamers" pretty much as incels.

The average hexbearian is a furry trans girl gamer in their 30s from Copenhagen.
the averager gamer is a middle-aged woman on her phone, and because she doesn't have a long history of console or pc gaming she has no natural defense to shitty monetization.
not that the post-horse armor population is showing any restraint.
Some of the most popular games have been shit like League of Legends.
Nobody wins playing that shit, you just lose, the more you play it the more you lose.
At the same time Minecraft is a game where you literally have cheats built in with easy access, so that everyone can win.
Then you have shit like Peth of Exile which is for neurodivergent people, because they know we all broke so it's free, but they milk liberals to fund the project for everyone. 
For some reason I also think Trotsky would be a PoE addict 
while Lenin would be Minecraft enjoyer and I imagine average lol player to be Mussolini
minecraft blew up before it even had the gamey stuff in it. it was just a digital bucket of lego for years
What games is this guy referring to exactly where "everyone wins" 
Darktide, Helldivers, Deep Rock Galactic, you know, small indie games with no real fanbase.
Don't forget one of the most infamous failures of all time - Stardew Valley, which failed because of how easy it is to win (and incidentally winning means you run a big corporation out of town.)
Spongebob battle for bikini bottom and vib ribbon the pinnacle of woke
I fucking hate how political games are these days! Why can't we return to the era of non-political games, like Final Fantasy 7?!
I don't want games where everyone wins either, i just want games where chuds lose.
Most self identified "gamers" have got to be young men, right? No shit they're going to skew conservative
For like thirty years 99% of all video game advertisements were exclusively targeted at young men. I would say that the existence of Gamers (the conservative Gamergate kind) is a direct result of that era of social engineering.
I blame the propaganda being spewed out at lightning speed like someone button mashing street fighter
Lol I've been playing through Kingdom Hearts again. "My friends are my power"
nobody wants to play a video game where everyone wins
I unironically want "strand game" to be an actual widespread genre instead of some goofy 
thing.
Gamers need to participate in distant jolly cooperation. 
A true gamer never complains, they are too busy playing good games. This clown is no gamer.
Something something victimhood
My personal problem is that all the awesome game studios have been sold and resold and laid off again and again that nothing is left of their former brilliance.
And microtransactions. If he'd run on that, it even has the word trans in it lol
Toby Fox like 
"TOBY FOXS GAMES ARE WOKE PANDERING TRASH! NOT REAL MANLY MAN GAMER GAMES"
"Toby Fox is very much a real gamer. His games are heavily inspired by Earthbound and Touhou"
"What the fuck is Earthbound..."
People who claim they don't like it when everyone wins want everyone to agree with them, yeah big surprise
True competitions are constructed in such a way as to make the game as fair as possible. Referees are put in place to prevent unfair tactics. Rules are changed when they advantage some teams over others. And when done effectively, camaraderie and entertainment are maximized, because that's the point of playing the game. Competition abhors unfairness. Capitalism, on the other hand, is designed to produce unequal outcome, to build monopoly, to rig the rules to favor one at the expense of the rest. Competition is only present (in distorted form ofc) in the early stages of capitalism.

I wish he’d choke on a chicken bone already.
Guy made one good game soundtrack once and then decided he was gaming jesus or some shit
You'd think a guy who worked on fucking Halo in its heyday
well there's your problem.
People literally get upset if you don't get the good ending where everyone wins
Games where everybody wins?
But I Only Play Single Player Games
and Monster Hunter which is cooperative
I play online matches on Pokemon sometimes but I don't count competitive Pokemon because Pokemon preaches that losing is okay as long as you have fun and learn from the experience. Also there is a high chance the person I'm beating is a child so lol
nobody?
someone tell this guy about cozy games, they might change his life
