Stereotyping abound, as video gaming is blamed for yet another unfavourable event.
The assistant manager for 'popular' football (that's soccer to the yanks out there) team Bolton Wanderers, Chris Evans, made the bizarre claim that England's national football team lost their recent qualifying match because of video games.
Most of the English team are in their late 20s and early 30s; hardly the typical age for hardcore video gamers. And hey, if they're going to stereotypically blame video games, how about blaming the stereotype of the "play boy" life style these professional divers lead?
Backward compatibility works for many games on newer consoles, but titles such as The Simpsons: Hit and Run have been left out.
From base building to swinging willies, here are the best survival games around, which include a couple of less than obvious picks.
"They want you to believe the devs under them are super stoked to work generative AI into their processes," continued Gaider, "but I assure you what they took as excitement was really a veiled wail of despair not unlike the time that team was informed of their new 'really cool' live service mandate.".
I think anyone with some common sense knew this, im glad i don't support their games anymore, what a sh!t company.
I said this yesterday. AI isn't what we want when it comes to crafting artistry. Alas, these soulless corporate morons don't care about their work, only about cutting corners as much as possible.
What a poor article. And yes the BWFC coach makes a good point. Video Games although they themselves havn't coursed the england defeat directly (a poor manager did) they have effected the amount of people who are taking up the sport at younger ages. Alot of kids now play computer games rather than going out and playing football in there spare time. This has effected the amount of people coming through the training system and thus there is less and less new young england players each year.
When the article writer says
'Most of the English team are in their late 20s and early 30s; hardly the typical age for hardcore video gamers. And hey, if they’re going to stereotypically blame video games, how about blaming the stereotype of the “play boy” life style these professional divers lead? '
Shows how little he knows and has taken the wrong approach to what was said. He seems to think video games has effected the actual current england players, when that isn't true it actually has effected some of the people who COULD be england players right about now and that could have made an impact. Also calling football players divers and claiming that they all have 'play-boy' lifestyles shows that he doesn't give a dam about the sport anyway and thus will always show a negitive light towards the sport
Edit
Anyone who disagrees, can you please do it with a reason rather than just click disagree cheers. (i suspect i will get alot of them and lose alot of bubbles aswell for my view)
this is a joke man...blaming my lovely video games for the stupidty of the england team. we lost just because the boys thought it will be a stroll in the park kmt. media+england footie=total shate
Why don't they blame it on the fact that they havent put enough money into football academies in this country Brazil spend the most and have some of the worlds best players.
they dont even have many good soccer players. Look it up. They have Rooney and thats about it.
They will be lucky to even make the world cup
The Premire League is made up of non english players
David Beckman is a bum
