Shill Deconstruction Thread: Arc Raiders Edition Anonymous 11/06/2025 (Thu) 10:58:00 Id: f2585e No. 1911344
Let's take a different approach to the usual threads about recently-released games. In this case, we'll talk about Arc Raiders. Instead of praising it, or deconstruct the recent 'hype' around it. This seems necessary since a lot of people are discussing it and talking about it on social media and other sites where video games are talked about in some capacity. >What kind of people are praising this game? >What is the appeal? >What is the staying power? >Who is behind the game? Developed/funded/designed? Getting to the bottom of this should help deconstruct any hype that you may or may not hear about it in the present and future.
>>1911344 >>What kind of people are praising this game? non-relevant >What is the appeal? you figure it out >What is the staying power? non-relevant >Who is behind the game? non-relevant >Developed/funded/designed? all of these questions are not related at all to the game op, how about this one >Is the game any good? Secondary nigger
Is this another one of those "extraction shooters"? Then it's automatically shit and anyone shilling this game is exactly that: A shill.
It's just the same boring answer of marketing and pr departments.. If all your after is names try searching for related companies on linkdin. I honestly couldn't give less of a shit about obvious shills.
I just thought it was more 80's nostalgia bait and disregarded it.
>>1911344 >who is behind the game/funding/sponsor Quick search shows Embark a fremium publisher for the Finals a few years ago. Teased their next game Arc Raiders (not by name) as another freemium game, whereas now it's freemium with $40 upfront. (Don't know if the genre changed too). As for sponsor, nvidia used it as dlss4 demonstration, it got a little hype around being decent looking despite being an unreal title. Discourse around it not using epics shitty features or dlss are there, I just did find anything about base settings yet. Good night.
>>1911427 Typo > didn't find Oh yeah, there's also Embarks content partnership program for all creators, might be run of the mill or enticing depending how it work for Finals streamers.
I don't know but I want to know how to do local AI voice changing
>>1917672 Probably should ask that over here >>1875633
The people who buy this: FOMO guys Why: Its a fun game until the game is "figured out" and a meta is formed. Also appeals to extroverts who like talking to other people in games.
>>1911344 >What kind of people are praising this game? Shills and casuals >What is the appeal? An Extraction shooter that is eye-candy oriented and casual friendly. Also streamer friendly so that people can stream their "so crazy!" moments. >What is the staying power? Very small, because the game has PVP and casuals have already cried for there to be a PVE mode only (The devs themselves wanted the game to be PVE but added PVP because they noticed how boring it was in testing, so that tells you something). >Who is behind the game? Developed/funded/designed? pic related. But swedish, so obviously it's cuck oriented.

Ex DICE/EA devs/executives with connects paying off journalists and streamers much like EA did with Gapex Legends. That's all this is

I think OP is part of the people who dislike it just for the AI. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KazzKASBEX0
