💼 Careercow Andrew Dobson (aka Tom Preston)

Chris chan is on his way to be a better artist than Dobson, and a better payed one too. Shows how much good going to college was for you Dobbers, you deserve every bit of it when Chris is better than you.

Hell, just look at how many people are legitimately happy that there's new Sonichu pages to read. And yet, if we all wake up tomorrow to see that Dobson has started his Alex ze Pirate reboot, no one would give a shit.

More complaining.

I know it's a small thing but I find it interesting the article calls them teenage boys and Dobby calls them teenage men.

Maybe he thinks it makes them sound too sympathetic when in reality they are monsters for taking attention away from the true and honest adult woman and adult men gamers who play freemium games?

I don't know if anyone here has any artistic drive, but on the risk of sounding autistic, a few suggestions of fanarts someone should make for Dobson:

1. Dobbot riding on a giraffe. somehow I imagine that looking more like something you want to see in a children's book than what he plans for Skyrim.

2. Dobson standing on a soapbox, whinning that everyone says they are complaining about him soapboxing. Until the box breaks down. Alternatively, Solid Snake comes from under it, having enough of Dobson's shit and slits his throat.

3. Dobson turning out to be a literal sock puppet of Brianna Wu with hand up his ass and such.

Yeah right, it's just teenage boys...

I never understood the problem in admitting that people like to look at sexy depictions of the gender(s) they are attracted to. Sexy women for one crowd, handsome men for the other, everybody wins and everybody feels insecure about their bodies.

Why even bother what is the bigger audience for video games by now? It is not as if suddenly that means that every freaking game company in existence will go their way out to make games exclusively for women. We still get awful soccer games by EA, racing games no one likes, jump n runs based on over two decade old licences, shitty reboots, other typical horror games with zombies, JRPGs with generic bishis and so on for everyone to loath/enjoy.
Really, all it means is that if someday someone decides to remake The Wizzard, the kid may then be played by an autistic girl.
Also, if women are the biggest group now, does that mean it is also mostly women who buy stuff like Hatred?

I think that poll was either faked or had its base sample somehow tailored.
Out of a hundred gamers I knew, one was a woman. Perhaps the statistics are better if they include mobile games like Candy whatever , but still I doubt it. This is most likely just a tailored statistic done for propaganda reasons.

Oh no....

Does he live and work on a day to day basis? Does this guy plan anything? I know that, if you do commissions, you pretty much need a flexible schedule and make room for every commission you accept - but is it really such a difficult concept for him, to work on 2 or 3 more wallpapers for his patreon or on the AzP reboot, when he has no pressing work to do?

He sounds like a big fat kid that really likes to draw and has no ideas and not like someone remotely professional. If he really has spare time at his hands and wants to work on something (or just wanted to do something different for a change of pace), he could do the smart thing and mention that he is open for commissions. Depression or not, I guess he is just lazy.

They are counting people like my aunts and my mom who occasionally (once in a great while) will play the Wii or random free games on their mobile devices, aka not the audience that companies that make console and PC games care about. When you look exclusively at the "Core" gaming market (aka games that are for consoles and PC that aren't free 2 play) there's a much bigger majority of 18-25 year old males than any other demographic.

Anyways, back on topic, damn it! He just had to kill literally the only enjoyable thing that he has ever done!

Short answer: Yes. Yes it is.
Looking over all his shit it is obvious that Andrew Dobson has always -and will always- make stuff only on a whim. This is also why Alex ze Pirate hasn't moved forward in years. He is too busy whinning about his trolls and SJW issues as that he would sit down and decide to do work on that, as these subjects fill his head more than Alex. And it also explains why Alex was never really something good to read either, as he really just has the capacity to think of puns instead of a coherent and long narrative. Why else would he have abandoned stuff like his pseudo detective shit Percy what's his face after two or three volumes? Guy has not the mental capacity to keep track on something as "complex" as a crime mystery for a Detective Conan rip off.
Which is just baffling for me. I admit I do stuff on a whim myself a lot, but I also try to plan ahead here and there. This guy has never prepared anything for his work, which shows a lot in his patreon by now. I mean, let's say one day someone spends a lot of money and as such would have the right to tell him what his next comic should be about. Can you imagine the stress he would ut himself if suddenly everyone demanded more Alex instead of SYAC? Seeing how he barely wastes a thought on Alex and Co he would be screwed to deliver a satisfying ministory, even if it was only supposed to be 5 pages long.

Not that this is ever going to happen. I think it is more likely that Sonichu gets picked up by a publisher than anything Dobson ever made - I guess all his works that went on paper were self-published.

If you look back on the maps he made, you clearly see that he has no idea how to do world building, and this is usually something a good writers have to stop themselves from overdoing. However. I bet he hasn't even look up a video on YT on that matter.

 

[BuckMatic]

If we were exclusively pandering to "teenage men" (a pedo sounding phrase if I ever heard one) then why are so many adult females playing games? They are obviously happier with the state of gaming than anyone else so what's all this talk that they feel uncatered to, unrepresented and exploited for their bodies only to have their personhood left by the wayside? Oh, you're full of shit, that's right.

It's most definitely including iPhone freemium trash that barely qualifies as a game in there.

This statistic is meaningless, what would be a useful statistic is how much does each spend on games a year. Men buying their toxic masculinity AAA titles would absolutely dwarf women playing TRUE AND HONEST Candy Crush clones for free.

Also I bet almost no phone gamer women would list video games as one of their interests, it's just a distraction to them to pass the time while waiting for social media messages. Like how Snake was on old Nokia phones.

They probably expanded the definition of "gamer". With the classical definition - a person who invests a substantial amount of their lifetime into complex and demanding video games - the male/female proportion may be around 9/1. But if you re-define it as: someone who has occasionally played any kind of electronic game within their lifetime, then the ratio may well show a female majority.

Everyone has at least a cell phone these days. Every cell phone is going to have a game on it.

So yes, everyone is a "gamer" now.

Am I the only chick left alive who doesn't factor gender into any part of gaming other than whether it will help me shoot things better?
Also Dobbykins if they start pandering to a purely adult female demographic you can kiss your precious lesbians goodbye because with current marketing trends they're more likely to include more manly cheesecake than to tailor to the LGBT community that doesn't currently form the majority of their consumer base. They're running a buisness and want to cater to customer demands and unless lesbianism is key to the story or character you're not gonna see the majority of women crying out for more of it. So yeah, maybe pandering to horny teenage boys isn't something you should bitch about, you'd lose your hot lesbos and Wu senpai still won't notice you.

 

[Lackadaisy]

Were this statistic actually representative of PC/Console gaming at large, wouldn't developers be targeting adult women (as the 'largest demographic') and pandering to them? I mean, were it actually applicable, this study would mean that game developers are specifically not going after the largest cash cow in the pasture, and that just doesn't make sense from a business perspective in my opinion.

Prepare for the deluge of AAA Candy Crush and Angry Birds clones, people.
