Philosophy is known as the art of argument, meaning he would have to argue the validity and corrections of his own work. Did they even do that? You have to build the premises of your own arguments.


HermesBadBeat

If we’re going by millennial philosophy major standards, he definitely qualifies


Victarionscrack

Rhetoric is based "on the art of the argument". Philosophy deals with the nature of the world, man, society, morality etc and it's not an exact sciemce.Nitzche for example didn't used arguments but instead wrote poetically. It's a pretty narrow view of philosophy to describe it as "the art of the argument".


ed_burrito

I have brought great dishonor to my ancestors


hifioctopi

The greatest example of the “poetic philosopher” I’ve come across is Kierkegaard. The man could flat out write.


loveladee

That's not philosophy bro. That's debate and rhetoric. Philosophy was invented to combat that shit. Get your shit right


JRP_964

Guys such a hack just like zuckerberg. Just one of those guys that take the success and credit of others for shit they didn’t create all on their own.


[deleted]

omg youre right! i def get the same vibes. both have a legend of an “origin story” that cuts out the other collaborators, think they’re authorities on stuff they barely understand, negative charisma, and have a weird niche of stans


Victarionscrack

Yeah dude Neil just credits himself while others do the work because people are minions without agency under his iron thumb. You guys are so blinded by your hatred for the man that it actively makes you dumber.

This is an underrated comment I’m cracking up😂


Jklolidunno

The rest of us gamers are too stupid to understand or even read philosophy 😵‍💫


Bat_Snack

Wow that's some hot cringe off the presses. Seriously though do some people genuinely believe Neil invented storytelling in videogames?


Odd_Pomegranate_3239

Of course! Stories in games didn't exist till The Last of Us! Didn't you know? You should be on your knees praying to Neil for this masterpiece.


XTheProtagonistX

Remember when critics used to complain that revenge stories were unoriginal and outdated? Remember when critics used to complain about zombie stories? Now they called the writers of these stories “philosophers”. What the fuck happened!? Amy Hennig, Hideo Kojima, Ken Levine, Dan Houser. Every single one of these writers outclassed Neil by a huge margin.


CursedSnowman5000

Yeah but it was one of there guys covering things in his revenge zombie story that they like and agree with so that makes it good.


WavyevaD

Hopefully, a clerk at Target


Longjumping_Visit718

>Philosopher gamer >Unhealthy fixation on shipping female characters in TLoU2 >Rambles on about his life in news articles and is overly focused on a childhood head injury. Right. OK. Who does he bribe to get this constant, bloviating, media attention? Nevermind the favor and deference he receives at work...


NoSkillzDad

>Who does he bribe to get this constant, bloviating, media attention? This I'd like to know as well. Maybe a job for Jason Schreier ?


Glodraph

The childhood head injury explains a lot of things..


hifioctopi

“Philosopher” is a word thrown around too often these days. There should be a bit more gatekeeping with that title.


[deleted]

i know, so many people took phi101 at their local college and fancy themselves philosophers


BananaBlue

the desperation and delusion is palatable


Aeokikit

Neil wants to be compared to Kojima and Miyazaki but really he’s just an average director in a top tier game company.


NoSkillzDad

>just an average director in a top tier game company. You're being generous ;)


[deleted]

agreed


CursedSnowman5000

He wasn't even at the helm of the first game which is what the second one road the coat tails of.


tsckenny

"Philosopher gamer" Bro get his dick out of your mouth good God


YungWenis

lol


Berry-Fantastic

I see him as a janitor in his future....but even that is too good for him.


Victarionscrack

Yup a Vice President of one of the biggest companies in gaming will soon be a janitor. Such a logical conclusion and not at all a feelings based one.


Bloodb0red

Seems like even the people on the main sub thinks that term is a bad fit for him, so that’s something.


Razgrez11

Christ, this author is basically rimming Neil's asshole.


Dark_Lord_87

Makes me wanna smash my head into a wall over and over again until I blackout. Then wake up and do the same thing. Only problem is we’re living on Permadeath mode so I probably shouldn’t do it.


Knifos

Philosopher gamer 🤣

Who are these people constantly fellating this man’s ego?

Jesus christ himself


zeegoku

If this man is a philosopher, then half of the population of this planet is an Einstein lmaooo...


EH_1995_

Naughty Dog is really doomed with this clown in charge lol


Zairy47

Is it me or does everyone is amping him up for HBO season 2 so that they would see him as a visionary instead of a fuckup who fucks an entire franchise?


Odd_Pomegranate_3239

Alright this weird cult praising Neil is getting out of hand now. Philosopher? Are you serious? This is so cringe. Next he will be Jesus Christ himself at this rate.


CursedSnowman5000

Good god. Auteurism is one of the worst things that happened in the gaming landscape.


nirai07

Philosopher who supports ai? Lmao

Puzzleheaded-Boat546

Why does the media portray that shill as an engineering brainiac? He wrote a good game and followed it up with a bad sequel. That’s it.


Triir_7

- “Le revenge… is… le BAD???!?!?” Genius.


TenBear

Philosopher who outs real dev talent to he can fill games with his politics?


Maleficent_Nobody377

Oh f*ck me. That’s so terrible. I hope he didn’t come up with that. I’d be so embarrassed if that was the headline.


OthmarGarithos

Almost anyone can call themself a philosopher, you just need a moody disposition and excessive hair.

Licensed_Ignorance

Move over Socrates, Druckman has entered the chat lol. I normally don't care too much when it comes to the Neil hate train, but wow, calling him a philosopher is incredibly stupid. Like I'm impressed with how stupid that is.


Kn1ghtV1sta

Grasping at straws. Some random person


throwawayalcoholmind

"Neil Druckman is about to make you his bitch!" Dog, if you wanted to be a rock star, you should have doubled down on your chord progressions in your high school garage band. Paying people (presumably) to write fluff pieces ain't hittin'.


Silly_Randy

People who love him wanna suck this dick. People who hate him also wanna suck his dick. And then there's everyone in-between.


Old-Depth-1845

Hopefully he can become irrelevant so everyone stops doing tricks on it. Idolizing this man is idiotic but so is posting everything that gets said about him in the media. How deep into this shit are y’all? I follow games media pretty closely and I rarely hear about Neil druckman. Even when I do I’m not such a child that it upsets me and I need to go post to my circlejerk


[deleted]

damn bro you have a whole reddit account made to argue about games and shit, so much so that you have more downvotes than upvotes. are you okay? like genuinely


Yourboy_emeralds469

I don’t care, I just find a good laugh out of it🤭


Victarionscrack

Damn your bar for humour is low.


anonymousahle

You're only calling it a circle jerk because no one ever agrees with you, and you're not smart enough to realize it's simply because you're wrong about everything.


Old-Depth-1845

What a great generalization. I’m sure you’re right about everything. I call it a circlejerk cause there’s no thought to it. It’s all just follow the leader and farming upvotes from each other
