If it's gonna be one thing, it's gotta be Doom Eternal.

good luck on 18

I see you repeating the same baseless garbage again

You can start by refuting ONE thing I said. And not go on the whole "the internet gives exposure" tirade, because no one has denied this. Or worse - "Lars Ulrich is doing fine, so the everything must be fine":

You have offered no solution to the problems you have with music.

I've explained to you the problems of the modern day music industry, which you have vehemently shrugged off, because you believe people are entitled to a musician's product.

Oh my God you're still talking.

Stop replying then. It's that simple.

According to setlist.com, the most Unleash the Archers have played on a single tour is 41 shows in 2011 - which ran from May to July. A very normal FESTIVAL SEASON tour.

Do you know there is a middle point between bar bands and multimillionaires? I've never seen someone as thick headed before on this sub.

So be it.

Also tell that deodorant thing to the Slaughter To Prevail crowd.

Yes. You can get paid by a local bar. If you're lucky, you might even get to share $100 (rent is secured! s/) - I've always settled for free beer from the bar instead. Also this is not a tour.

In most industries, you produce a product, people buy it and you earn revenue. The music industry is the only one where 100 thousand people can consume your product, and it's practically meaningless in any financial scope.

Bands still produce hard copies for the few people that pick them up. It's obviously still worth doing - imagine how it was in 1995.

You support ticketmaster and livenation by going to shows. You support spotify with streaming. You support bands by buying albums and merch.

What bands tour for 12 months?

You finance a tour, and put the money you make from the tour into financing the next tour. The fact that you think bands can just be on tour all year long shows you have no idea what you're talking about.

Sure. Corey Taylor makes millions (hurray). Most south of that are travelling t-shirt salesmen.

There are literally thousands of successful bands that owe everything to internet exposure across all genres of music.

And what do they do when festival season is over? Grow money in their yard?

And maybe with enough exposure you can finally reach the levels of Metallica, and make a career out of it? Idk. Sounds like a pretty shitty situation.

I think there's just one traditional SHMUP (not counting Starfox, Sin and Punishment, Bangai-O etc) on the console. And it's not very good.

Jesus Christ with these mental loops, dude. Do bands make money from selling music, or not? No. They don't. They make money from touring, and selling merch (yes, even bands with millions of streams). I don't care if you see that as a bad thing, or spend most of your days rimming the Spotify CEO's greasy asshole. Albums don't make money.

99% of your favorite bands have day jobs (unless you exclusively listen to mainstream music), and the little money they do make from from music, they don't make from selling albums (or streams). There's a reason it takes 5+ years for bands to release new albums nowadays.

You don't even know what that means.

And I should care about your playground vocabulary why?

Then who is poser?????

Because true metal thrives in the underground.

Shut up, elitist

So you had a normal internet shit slinging with a redditor, and that somehow reflects the entire community?

If there are thousands of players in your region? It's good

If there are 70 players in your region? Not so hot.

None.

Keep it true.

Its cheaper to buy a used copy of Fallout 3 Goty than getting it on the online store. Hell even if you have gamepass, the DLC will still add up.

It sounds like Monster Energy tastes.
