As far as I'm concerned Pong is the ONLY video game worth playing.

Honestly, I'm more angry about the meme creator thinking that Super Mario Bros. was 1972.
There are actually very few games overall where you jump on enemies.
Assassin creed series
Church climbing simulator?
this is the real reason why the people of lemmy hate the industry
That's right because playing Dark Souls, I had to insert my sanity in the coin slot every time I died and it said Thanks Obama.
Ah yes the torture boss fight.
Wonderful mod, that one
Yeah I got a good giggle out of it.
The showrunner of TLOS was also the head writer for the game.
It was the other showrunner, Craig Mazin, who said this. He doesn’t work in vidya gaems Though I can’t find the original source where he said it. So could be a shitpost.
The Last of Sus?
Now they eat strawberries gaily
I got pretty fed up with always needing change to play Counter Strike.
Super Mario Bros was published in 1985 not 1972 but yeah.
Back in the 90's, video games were new enough that you could forgive the film industry for not being familiar with them. It's been 30 years. They still don't get it.
Yes, like GoldenEye. No one played it, and it was definitely not a popular FPS where you jumped on enemies. It's an obscure game based on the obscure movie where James Bond jumped on every single woman he saw. /s
There have been more good Movie: The Video Game releases than Video Game: The Movie.
You're being too generous. In the 90s we were playing PlayStation and TV shows were still using the death sound from Atari Pac-Man
They don't play video games, they do coke or children. They live different lives than us poors.
I kinda stand with Yahtzee Croshaw on this: The video game industry is a lot bigger than the film industry and makes a hell of a lot more money, so filmmakers should probably do a little learning their place.
Got it, fire everyone after the film is completed.
Thats pretty much what already happens in films. Most people work on one of them and then have to be rehired for the next.

I've got a suspicion that this is one of those "say something intentionally stupid so that everyone jumps on the train to correct you and create engagement".
Next up: post a math problem with no right answers and watch the post get a million comments (where only 10% notice the lack of a right answer)
It's Cunningham's Law in action.
Sod's Razor
Or someone says something evocative of their meaning but not fully fact-checked and cited because they aren’t a clanker.
There's not all that much fact checking about something like that. It's not like they claimed something and got one small detail wrong. It's just a blanket statement that is unsubstantiated. Assuming they have common knowledge of the industry they're in, it takes just one game that is not coin-operated and has some save functionality to make the original statement invalid.

It's like hearing someone say "there were no strong female leads in movies before the Hunger Games"

It's frustrating how people in charge are so far away from reality.
Remember when Kathleen Kennedy said that writing for Star Wars is hard because there aren't any books and comics?
There are Star Wars books and comics??
