> B games aren't defined by their quality
> that game was too good/bad to be an A/B game
> this is about marketing and public mindshare
> we don't know if it's a B game yet because it's not out even though we've seen its marketing for months
I've completely fallen out of this conversation.

I vote for a podcast that will just be about determining the tier of games.

Dan thinking Command and Conquer (which had HOLLYWOOD ACTORS IN IT) was a B game has made my day. Holy crap.

How is it that everyone forgot the actual definition of what a B game is? B stands for Budget. Period. It always has and always will. The fact that people keep debating it is insane to me. if you played games any time before the middle tier games went away (around 2010) then you know this, everyone knew this.
Looking forward to Battlegrounds, by Playerunknown.
Bioshock is a B game because irrational only made PC games before.
In a surprise move Dan is unaware of something not in his tiny bubble of the world.
The whole discussion was asinine. B-games are defined by budget pure and simple. AAA Games are ALSO defined by budget. The values those levels were set at varied over time but is and always will be based on money. Not copies sold, money put into development (you can argue marketing counts for this too).

dan is fucking insane
He probably thinks of them as nerd games which he considers niche when fucking StarCraft of all games created a gaming culture for a whole country.

Vinny's eyes when Dan says "Yeah but PC is a much smaller audience"...OH MY GOD
Alright, this is probably a little too serious for this topic but I'm gonna post it anyway.
Yesterday morning, I posted a vague goodbye fully intending on ending my life. Stress was getting to me and I was kinda freaking out. I pulled a gun on myself and eventually cops were called and I was basically in a standoff for two or so hours. It was actually on the local news, some news douche was Facebook Living the entire thing. Looking back, I'm a fucking idiot and regret what I did. I took two bean bag bullets to my legs and they fucking hurt. I'm currently in a mental health facility, not a hospital or anything, but a house with other people with mental disabilities and counselors. I'm actually not gonna be here too long, only until early next week, because it was just a spur of the moment freakout and not a depression thing that's been going on for years and years. I just read all your posts responding to mine and just wanna say thanks for worrying, it feels good to know that people, even if they're strangers on the internet, actually care.
So yeah, tl;dr, I'm still alive. Thanks for caring. See y'all later.

I'm glad you're talking about it with others which is like the first step towards feeling better. We've all been there when we feel things are closing in on us and it feels like nobody would be there for us but look around you and you'd find most people are willing to help and can relate. I am glad that the thing you were doing didn't come to fruition because that would have made me sad and upset. Please take good care, we're all here for you. Feel free to shoot the shit as always here with us or on Twitter if you want to contact me personally as well as the PMs on here. I'm more than willing to help and be there regardless of the situation.
We're all on this rollercoaster called life. Best of luck and hang tight. <3 Everything's going to be ok in the end, you just got to be very patient so keep strong.
