Anons, I'm a Video Game Industry anon, and i want to share with you a scene that had an extremely strong impression on me as a child

This scene takes place after climbing the game's massive demon tower. Dante, the wisecracking wildboy confronts his stern older brother, Vergil, who exudes power and efficiency in every one of his movements.

In the end, Dante loses this fight, and he's stabbed in the chest with his own sword, by his own brother. A definite defeat

But Vergil takes this moment of defeat to impart his defining ideal to Dante, to show him why he lost. He does this using one line, a line that defined me as a young man, due to the struggles i faced in my own life

"Might controls Everything. And without strength, you cannot protect Anything. Not even yourself"

That single line pierced through my soul. The buildup to this makes the impact of it several-fold stronger. Here this guy is, standing on top of this massive tower. You struggle to get up it, and he defeats you and leaves you with that

You spend the next few missions digesting that, digesting what he said to you as you go further into the tower to find him again

Vergil's desire for strength ended up turning him into a monster in later games, but that desire was born from weakness, from when his mother was killed and he was powerless to do anything about it

I always remember that sentiment when i struggle. The power behind this story really shaped my younger self to always strive for the best when i could, to always hold my head up high, and to prove that despite my situation, my health, my economic situation, I HAVE POWER

We all have that power. Its the power of our human will and spirit, our innate drive to do what is right

Just take that sentiment with you, if nothing else

Love ya anons

You can't end it, because this entire industry has modeled itself after the worst games. When i say worst, i mean it;

These game create child gamblers

These games push radical political agendas on everybody

These games devise new and creative ways to take your money in exchange for digital goods that have no real value, in game or out

I'm the VGIanon. And one day i will destroy this industry as it is now. I want to crumble these assholes for violating our dignity, giving us shit and telling us to eat up like its the last fucking supper

I have spent years analyzing every aspect of the industry, and soon i'll have all i need to hit these people. They will never see it comi

There are stories in this industry that would make any rational person sick to their stomach

Stories of people overworked and underpayed, scheduled on impossible deadlines, then these asshole producers ship a game that doesnt work, and shifts the blame on their staff all while taking your money and laughing
