Gee these men-children are going to be awfully sad when there’s no one left to make their games for them anymore and they have nothing left to do but face the shitty reality they’ve created.
Um… The gaming industry did much, MUCH better before it was filled with activists.
Such a moronic take based on absolutely nothing.
Great counter argument, lmaooo
It’s the only response required when you don’t even have any evidence, empirical or otherwise, to back up your moroinc claim.
Go away pigeon, you can’t play chess.
Lmao, coming from a neckbeard, that’s a positive.
You don’t even know how to speak in social gatherings yet feel powerful behind a keyboard.
By what metric? Business is booming.
Yeah all those layoffs, mass studio closures, and over 15k game jobs lost(just in 24) sure do mean business is going great!
All of those are due to the drastic increase in jobs during covid. This is happening in many, many tech related careers. It is not because of inclusivity. Get your head out of your ass.
That’s a factor, but it’s not the only reason, jackass. Look at the games that failed and how they were backed by activists, which led to studio closures.
Ubisoft is mostly subsidized in Quebec by taxpayers, and they have their lowest profits ever because of activists as well.
Or maybe it’s because we’re sick of assassin’s creed n², you numpty. Go seek to confirm your biases elsewhere
Lmaooo Nothing to do with AC.
Star wars flopped as well.
Yea yea, it’s all sweetbaby and DEI fault and not corporations being greedy hellholes that only worry about quarterly profits since forever. /s
Sbi needs to go back to the cave they crawled out of.
Since when were corporations NOT greedy? It’s hilarious you think that it’s only now that they got greedy, lmao
Please point out where I implied that corporations got greedy “only now”. Hint: i said “since forever”, the implication is that they were always shit. Then again, can’t expect much from you.
You don’t even understand what you said yourself, lmao
before it was filled with activists.
and exactly when was this? lol
when did all the activists take over. Pong?
Colecovision?
Are you delusional? Or just naive? Open your eyes.
so you can’t tell me when.
because you know, it’s always been that way.
what a fucking sad life that must be to lead, to know, yet deny it with every fiber of your being because you can’t accept.
Just down vote and move on. She’s just a troll with no facts or figures, she just wants your attention that Daddy never gave her growing up. It was either the pole or the troll for her.
I provided plenty of examples and you stick your fingers in your ears to ignore it all.
Lmao, typical. Your bubble is about to pop, thanks to trump. I’m here to watch.
You don’t even want to look. You think games are failing just because or capitalism which is the dumbest, leftist excuse that you always all give when you don’t have the knowledge to see what’s truly happening.
Enjoy living in your angry little leftist bubble echo chamber.
Um… The gaming industry did much, MUCH better before it was filled with
activists.Capitalists. The word you’re looking for is capitalists.
There’s only one maybe two good video games not made by capitalists (Tetris and Disco Elysium).
You REALLY need to look up what happened with disco Elysium then come back and use it as an example.
Wrong. Gaming industry was doing fantastic before.
Capitalism broke gaming twice already. Once in the 80s.
Ah yeah! Games have been free since the 80s, I completely forgot!
Yeah, having a poc or queer character in your shitty video games is the biggest example activism since the Civil Rights Movement.
It’s more about the messaging. The mere presence of a POC or trans character isn’t bothersome to most people. But when that character comes with dialogue lines that make the political messaging obvious, then they’re no longer a character that happens to be non-White or trans; they’re a political prop inserted into a game to send a political message, and that can be quite irksome when all you’re trying to do is play a fantasy RPG and escape from the world for a bit, even if you actually agree with the message.
Exactly. Don’t lecture us about being trans or etc.
We honestly don’t care. (Yes, a small percentage of people are actually bigots and hate gays/trans for being who they are). The rest of us just don’t want it shoved down our throats.
It’s like making a game and having the main character proclaiming: “look how straight I am! Wow I sure do love women! I’m so straight and anyone who isn’t should do pushups”.
And yet, from the downvoting here and everywhere else this comes up, it’s clear: some people can’t take nuanced opinions on topics like this. If you object in any capacity, you’re the worst possible objector.
Because they’re all leftists/activists. They don’t know what sells games yet they scream and shout that it’s our fault that the games didn’t sell well
The rest of us just don’t want it shoved down our throats.
and when you put storytelling of any kind that way, it tells me who you really are.
no one is shoving anything down your throat sweetie, you paid your money for a game before checking it out. that’s your mistake, not the devs.
You completely missed the point just so you can keep your ears and eyes closed.
Keep living in your bubble and being angry at the world, it sounds fun!
Keep living in your bubble and being angry at the world, it sounds fun!
lol you’re so isolated from reality you can’t even tell
There are plenty of record breaking games that have released while the industry has been “filled with activists.” Many of them are even about politics, like Helldivers 2.
Yes, there are good studios, when did I say there weren’t?
Stellar blade did amazingly. Good game, and no woke bs activists = profits
Stellar Blade had a stripper as a player character, and that itself created a meta dialogue about how every other video game doesn’t
Have you even played the game? No, because you’re still crying that your activist games didn’t sell well.
Play stellar blade and realize that it’s a fantastic game, combat wise and design wise.
