(Plus Loverslab in VR? :bounce::bounce::bounce:)
I am terribly disappointed in you

I get that a lot from my dad...

But anyways, once you get past all the glorified tech demos and blow through the few halfway decent games on the Vive so far, porn quickly becomes one of the few interesting things left to do on it. You can say the same thing about Fallout 4, once the wow factor of the graphics and shiny popaweasel laser muskets wears off Loverslab is one of the few interesting things you can do with it since, you know, it's kind of a shitty game.

Fallout VR looks like a clusterfuck, cant even walk normally.

I find it weird, where are all these cosplayer "Fallout fans" online?
I definitely don't see them on places like No Mutants Allowed or here (most likely because these forums aren't pro Fallout 3 and 4). So Bethesda forums?

Also, since when has Fallout become such a thing like for example Star Trek, Star Wars, LotR, that it is drawing in a cosplay audience?
I am probably an elitist but I preferred it when Fallout was more of niche thing than drawing in loads of people who often only played the console games and don't have a damn clue about the back lore of the setting or what the original developers sought to establish.
The Americana was just the dressing.

HUH.. someone fixed the dialogue system and that's just really fucking amazing.
I don't know if I would call that a dialogue fix, you'd need a beast of a writer for that, not a modder. And then you'd lose all the voice acting since they would have to rewrite the entire game.
But, you never know. Somehow there's no limit to the amount of effort the fans put into fixing Bethesda's failures.

I don't know, but do you really want to meet them? Geeks are one thing, but stupid geeks are quite insufferable.

Plebbit, Twatter, Dumblr, Cuckbook, Jewtube, Patreon.

Since gaming went mainstream, but especially in the past decade with the parallel rise of social media and "nerd culture". The properties you cited were precursors to this, particularly LotR. RotK is tied for most oscar wins, Marvel is the highest-grossing film franchise, and gaming is a larger industry than film and music combined. TES5 is a top 10 best-selling game alongside higher-selling Pokemons and Marios -- post VR and switch remaster, it may be the best-selling game not bundled with a console. While those sales weren't repeated with F4, it still sold over a million copies on steam alone and generated 750m across all platforms on day one.

"Gamers are dead", "the force is female", and normies occupy my lawn.

I think that's a little high. It's hard to tell with all the sales, but my guestimation would be around 2b.

has to be higher than that. somehow. if the gaming industry is bigger than the film industry then Skyrim, one of the biggest sellers of all time, has to have done more than one transformers movie. then again movie studios swindle cash like a motherfucker so 2 billion for a gaming studio is probably the equivalent of 20 transformer movies' profits.

2b is roughly what TFA did, and it's the 3rd highest-grossing film behind James Cameron and James Cameron. Regardless, retail only accounts for about a third of industry revenue: https://venturebeat.com/2016/12/21/...evenues-in-2016-with-mobile-the-clear-leader/
Games generated $91 billion worldwide in 2016, according to a report from market researcher SuperData Research.

The mobile game segment was the largest at $41 billion (up 18 percent), followed by $26 billion for retail games and $19 billion for free-to-play online games. New categories such as virtual reality, esports, and gaming video content were small in size, but they are growing fast and holding promise for 2017, SuperData said.

Mobile gaming was driven by blockbuster hits like Pokémon Go and Clash Royale. The mobile games market has started to mature and now more closely resembles traditional games publishing, requiring ever higher production values and marketing spend. Monster Strike was the No. 1 mobile game, with $1.3 billion in revenue.
Keep in mind that the "retail games" umbrella includes all microtransactions/dlc/season passes etc. for those games, so revenue from actual sales is slightly smaller.

In contrast, long-term film profitability has decreased dramatically over the past two decades as ownership buckled. The dawn of dvds saw a boost here prompting remasters/director cuts/collector's editions, but piracy, "on demand" and especially streaming services own that market now.

I checked and you still have to download 17 gb worth of files if you buy the physical copy because Bethesda was too cheap to put the entire thing on discs, so I guess my days of buying Bethesda games are over. An :incline: in its own way.
