My friend and I were just talking about how you need to proceed with caught with guys who play only FIFA or NBA4K.
andros_rex@lemmy.world 10 months ago
My ex bought FIFA/NBA every year as it came out like clock work. Set the game to the easiest possible settings, but complained about rubber banding and reset the quarter when he lost.
The one time I got him to do laundry, he threw away half of our socks. He didn’t want to find pairs. My fancy dress socks, my novelty socks - all in the trash when I get home from work.
Liking certain video games isn’t itself a red flag, it’s that mindless, video games as avoidance/wish fulfillment that’s concerning.

Boils my blood someone would just toss socks away like that…

The NHL games are like crack cocaine for Canadians.
ObstreperousCanadian@lemmy.ca 10 months ago
Sorry, but the only sports games I play are racing games. So not all Canadians.
Clbull@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s honesty pretty bleak to see companies like Electronic Arts and Activision consistently top the sales charts by releasing the same game every year.
Said this before on Reddit in the past, but there are lots of consumers who have no taste in video games whatsoever. They don’t give a shit about anything but FIFA/Madden, Call of Duty or Grand Theft Auto, and that is the reason why we have predatory shit like Ultimate Team and Shark Cards in $70 AAA titles.
Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 10 months ago
it honestly just looks like addiction to me, it’s like people who drink the same miserable burnt coffee every morning just to vaguely function, and see no issue whatsoever with this habit and in fact continue to praise coffee for being so great and tasty.

We used to joke about people saying “I’m a gamer” when they meant Farmville, but if you just have each year’s FIFA and CoD games then you’re just as bad.

Back then when being a gamer was akin to being a Poindexter who gets shoved into lockers and had their lunch money stolen, I was pretty adamant that “Gamers are gamers!”
But now that extroverts watch marvel movies, gorgeous model types own gaming systems, and gaming is no longer a hidden secret for basement dwellers and elevated to “normal behavior”, I’ve changed course.
Not to say a FIFA bro won’t end up playing Elden Ring. But chances are very slim.

I talked to someone working at a game store (gamemania in the Netherlands). The stores also buy and sell second hand games. I commented on the amount of fifa games on the shelves and they told me the storage in the back just has massive stacks of every fifa game of the last 10 years or so. Apparently they will literally buy every functioning game you want to sell them.
The chain is also close to bankruptcy, probably not related. But it’s a shame because I really do like walking through them and looking through the games they have. They actually have xbox360, wii and ps3 games on shelves.
Blackmist@feddit.uk 10 months ago
The UK’s largest game store was just called Game, and these days you’re lucky if they’ve got actual games in stock. It’s mostly funko pops and other game related tat. The stores mostly seem located in the back of sports shops.
Physical games are in big trouble.
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Oh yeah they have a bunch of merch but luckily not too many funko stuff. I got some mugs from there.
It’s sad news though, can’t do digital second hand games or borrow one from a friend.
lud@lemm.ee 10 months ago
Game and Gamestop went bankrupt many years ago here.
Physical games are absolutely declining but you can still buy them in regular electronic stores or online. Those options are and have always been cheaper than dedicated game stores anyways.
pathief@lemmy.world 10 months ago
In Portugal we have a couple of these stores but I really don’t understand how they stay alive. I went there once with a sealed 60 euro, recent, game for a console I didn’t down. They offered me 15 euros and were selling used copies for 55 euros. Why on earth would I buy or sell for those prices?
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 10 months ago
For a discount on a new game? I while ago I bought a ps4 for a friend and just got a bunch of second hand games from that store. All common ones but I saved a bunch of money that way.
sparky@lemmy.federate.cc 10 months ago
I guess all of these stores will be gone before too long as these days a large portion of the new consoles don’t have a disc drive at all.
EddoWagt@feddit.nl 10 months ago
Gamemania still exists? I always enjoyed browsing through the games there, nowadays all my games are digital so I don’t have a reason to visit a physical store anymore
Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 10 months ago
Well for now they do. They sell a bunch of merch too.
v4ld1z@lemmy.zip 10 months ago
It was the same at the GameStop I worked at. They had a couple copies of Fifas, Red Dead 2, really common games downstairs on the store floor. In the storage room in the back they kept preorders, new games and more copies of games that were present on the store floor. And upstairs a mini “warehouse” where they’d keep the rest.
They literally had stacks upon stacks upon stacks of these really common games. Like all the current Fifas, Red Deads, Far Crys etc etc. It was always baffling to see how many copies of a given game can exist in one singular store. They’d also stop buying these games at some point because they worth next to nothing. They’d be losing money buying them from the customers
TheLowestStone@lemmy.world 10 months ago
It’s been years and years since I set foot in a Game Stop (US equivalent of the store you mentioned) but they would also “buy” any functional game you brought in. However, you would be lucky to get more than for $1 in store credit towards another used game for anything other than a new release.
Bezier@suppo.fi 10 months ago
Gamestop was in europe as well, until quit a couple years ago. They had impressive collections of used sports games that nobody wanted.

If he at least ALSO had some other, non-sports games, then she might have let it slide. But only FIFA is a definite red flag.

Think of them like blood plasma. They cover the cost of console development so that the rest of us can play real games.

I do not get it, everywhere in the world football is like a religion, whenever one is not playing in school or the neighborhood one was playing online with friends. Granted FIFA became shit over the years and people over hyper it, but most people grow out of it, get jobs, etc… It is only natural to find scumbags in popular instances. This meme could have any massive online game and still make sense then.
