They can't change anyway. They don't ever understand what made Thing X popular in the first place, which used to baffle me until I understood the pattern. The people you rapidly end up dealing with aren't the ones who made it, just the ones that saw the resulting river of money and flooded the scene/company. Where are the ones who made it?

that aint their place dude. they should make games *for anyone* but themselves. because a game you made for yourself is a game that is made with your passion. a game with passion is made to be fun and engaging no matter the topic they make the game about nor the genre the game is. throw awy the investor expectations and bring back the passion for games.
The 4B shaving intro was likely a quick addition after the election. The combat scene at the end was likely the content of the original trailer and it seems tacked on in a bad edit.
These people are like 5-year-olds. They have no idea how anything works and stomp their feet when they can't get their own way. We, the grown-ups, have to start telling these people about reality.
I am a woman, and I don't want to play as a bald woman who shaved her hair for no reason (unless she really have cancer) Even if they wants me to play the game, my PC spec says no.
@@CrystalWings12 It makes no sense that she cuts her hair to hide her identity. We have facial recognition technology in 2024 and she flies through space in a Porche spaceship.. And nobody knows who she is now because she's bald? She even wears the same clothes as in the picture on the wall.
@Jesse-sf8qu She could've use different outfit and hairstyle. Then again, I don't think she have enough brain cells to think more about it, just like the actress who portrayed her.
because they don't want to, do you seen Fable4 troglodite MC they purposely making ugly stuff to champion "nonnormal" stuff, self reporting that they are know how many there genders, what sexuality is normal, why women wear long nice hair etc
More proof that it can be done. Jedi fallen order and survivor with Tina Ivlev (Merrin) and Elizabeth Grullond (2nd sister Trilla). They are are attractive women.
I personally don’t care as much as others on how the model looks. What will really decide my interest in her character is how she acts. Take Dion from FF16 for example, gay, but Dion did not make that his entire personality. He was a prince and badass dragoon knight before his sexuality. Then there’s Taash from DA:Veilguard, constant nagging about labels but also a hypocrite because she’ll do the exact same thing she complains about to others.
Dion was handled perfectly. His sexuality "didn't matter" to who he was as a character, to his story, to the huge issue going on within his family, and to the decisions he made. Like it sounds nuts to even put this stuff into words. It's just "NORMAL", it's how these characters should be handled because it's how the "straight" characters are handled too lol the sexuality doesn't matter. It's just an external surface-level immutable quality that doesn't really need to be put under a microscope or exacerbated into a major plot point.
Meh, I don't care anymore. I used to be a big fan of ND, CDPR, Rockstar, Obsidian, Rocksteady, whatever. We don't have to say anything anymore. They'll feel the crushing weight of their own failures. Nobody will hire them anymore and it's already happening. Sit back and enjoy the show boys
No need to tell me twice I've been doing that since suicide. The studio that got me into gaming is the same studio that got me jaded and indifferent to this crap.
Well Rockstar ain't got nothing to worry about when it comes to GTA 6 as that game is going to be the biggest entertainment launch of all time when it comes out next year regardless of how you personally feel about them as a company.
As far as I know typically you don't pay for product placement in this context, you use product placement to get paid. It could be seen as either a sign of how incestuous corporate America has become in that everything needs to be promoting something else, or that they don't have faith it's going to sell well and need the money. I mean realistically what portion of the audience crosses over with those in the market for a Porsche?
None. Adidas and Proche are a nono for me, but... The Sony product placement isn't a first with Naughty Dog games and I actually kinda liked them before and don't mind it in Intergalactic. Granted everything else about Intergalactic looks like absolute GARBAGE, but I'll defend that one point lol
I find the concept so bizarre, to just shove themselves in there like this without even seeing the full product first, and without even the proper placement (i.e: a racing game or a game with CARS for Porsche, rather than a broken down spaceship and a sports thing for Adidas?) But yeah it totally makes sense in a "paid sponsorship" kind of way. Hope it helps with the cost of the development 'cause god damn, they're going really big for this game.
And they are those that will argue that males hate VA when that is not true because people love VA like Jennifer Hale who did Bayoneta and Samus Aran as well as Courtney Taylor who voiced Ada Wong in resident evil.Heck the VA who does Gokou is an 80 year old woman and she has a big fan base of mostly males.
We got Zegler in the movie industry, and Gabrielle in the gaming industry. Gabrielle also has a role in the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie. Soo.. do whatever with that information.
I disagree. The left Pic would look unflattering for anyone. It's very washed out. She looks fine, though, different look from the usual Instagram filter standard. But I get she wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea.
There are few things we need to remember: 1) investors are whats running the industry and gamers are becoming less important in what games get financed 2) these propgandists want audiences to be surrounded by this stuff, financial failures are worth being tanked as long as the ideology is driven into people 3) games take like 5 years to make, so even if DEI stuff is being completely scrubbed (highly optimistic) there are still many games in the pipeline with woke choices in them.
Additionally the government allows failures to be written off in taxes because they want this propaganda out there as much as the investors do, so these companies don't lose anything. The activist actors and writers still get paid. The only one who loses is the idiot dev studio that went along with it
I'm all for them releasing all that stuff. I'm not mad in the slightest. It's just something I won't buy. I don't buy a million things every day. It's just one more.
11:49 Bro how did you get THE Tati Gabrielle to actually come on to give a clip??? Hahaha "I don't HAVE to check the box office _Michael_ " has me rolling.
It's always easier to assume that those that disagree with you are evil than to look in the mirror and see where one has f'ed up. Strawman arguments let them feel like they're in the right despite the sales showing the contrary.
You make a great point about how 10 years ago you wouldn't have batted an eye but now we've been so accustomed to these agenda characters with obnoxious personalities we now know exactly what we're getting with this character. At least these companies aren't trying to hide it like they used to. A few years ago mlvies and games would have trailers that left this stuff out so we might be fooled only to have the movie or whatever sneak it on us after we've made our 5icket or game purchase. Having to vet these movies and games before we unknowingly supported them with our dollars was getting exhausting. I have on the other hand, saved a lot of money these last 3 or 4 years on passing on the garbage.
I’ve been noticing this for years in the art community, not many people cared about race, it was a really small minority then all of sudden some people start up with this crap, an artist got accused of being racist for only drawing white people years ago, then some more years later (2020-ish) blackwashing started to become popular, along with “blacktober” which was about making non-black characters, black, including alot of asian characters, nowadays so many blackwash supporters considers japanese to be white and literally rant about japanese media not having black characters (you know, media specifically in japan) normally people blame executives rightfully so, but this isn’t just executives, its a whole racial war that has been going on, nobody cared about how a race was depicted until all this started, and if anything its just made people much worse about it , unless its someone educated on a certain culture and history pointing out flaws, its just gonna be tiktok arguments that are r@cist in someway
they know exactly how the temperature & sales of modern, western AAA games are atm.., but they still both double downed.. (Sony Jp needs to step in for Naughty Dog.., or lose millions.., or they didn't learn anything from Concord & the Ghost 2 reveal reaction?) ... female or trans lead? no problem.., but how about females / characters, that are actually appealing (& attractive)?.. do they want sales .. or pointless agenda pushing, no one cares about?.
It should be such a simple concept. In heavy times like these where there's an obvious "divisive climate" in the industry, the best thing one can do is to stay AWAY from decisions that lean towards the issues. Stellar Blade, Black Myth Wukong, Space-Marines 2, Path of Exile 2, Marvel Rivals, and hell, even 'less successful' games like Dragons Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin show that that's perfectly doable while still retaining "diverse" things such as female protagonists & character diversity. What, it's a coincidence that Sony and their billions of dollars can't figure that out? Somehow we're the f*cking idiots, incels and bad guys for pointing out basic logical crap like this 😂
Traditional gamers had it with that and they are definitely not the minority, as so often called out by today's DEI mindset. I'm pretty sure we'll see the outcome of "you reap what you sow" when Intergalactic: The Disney's Reject lands on one of the world's biggest plattforms ever existed in videogame history. Stay healthy & and a happy '25 to you and familiy, Dez!! Educational content like this in times like these is so important & very much appreciated.
Just look at DEI slop sales. Where is this majority modern audience to drive sales? They don’t exist. Give it a few years and we all will consume Chinese entertainment as Western studios implode or get sold to China.
Sad things about all this is the fact that now is 2024, soon 2025, by the time game gets released most people and companies will either drop DEI crap or they will go out of business. What Druckmann and that actress did is assuring everyone that ND wont exist anymore soon after game release.
That's why my favorite games for the past few years are Capcom Resident Evil remakes. They are based on superior games from the past and the Japanese don't really subscribe to wokeness.
Whenever DEI hires happen all the damn time I can’t help but be reminded of something my coach said to my track team recently. He said he’s not going to put someone who didn’t even try at practice in an important meet event just because. No then he’d look bad. He’s only going to place racers in events based off of merit or how hard they work at practice, and nothing else. That’s what’s going on nowadays, these people who are not good at racing and have not been training are being placed in important meet events not based off of merit. Screwing up the meet and making the coach look like a fool.
Another intelligent commentary about this cultural insanity...yet you are one among only a very few who are actually voicing it with reason & nuance. I'm so glad you are continuing to speak out. Maybe one day you & other voices like you won't be drowned out by the loquacious activists who exchange logic for self-righteousness. Keep up the great work!
I have a feeling those product placements are whats paying for the budget of the game. Its so obvious it makes the "Wayne's World" product placement joke feel actual genuine. I'm just surprised blackrock/vanguard didn't feel like funding another flop for the umpteenth time.
yep in prewoke time i would not bat an eye at ugly bald mc, but now when we know how broken these devs, how they hate us and want feed slop to us, now nah with DEI - to shit it all😂
Yup - Get ready for an extremely racist & prejudice future since the world is raising their children to think race + sexuality are your defining characteristics and must be discussed at EVERY opportunity (including when applying for work).
There were no sides. Developers made passion projects, got successful or not. It's about games being entertainment and fun, not about current US politics.
It's okay to be discriminatory. You can discriminate against the things you don't like in favor of what you do. Just like you can discriminate against things you know will cause you harm for things that won't. It's not bigoted to refuse to drink the Kool-Aid, it's a valuable survival tool.
Of course it's an additude problem when we don't want someone to enter our house uninvited, open the fridge, drink all the alcohol and slam his feet on the table. Let them bark at us all they wan't, we're still not buying.
Make a game that looks like that anime thats on in the background. I don't hate everything about the aesthetics, but that's the nicest thing I could say. It's a no for me on the product placement alone. It has the modern generic Guardians of the Galaxy vibe to it as well.
Damn my guy, where have u been hiding in the youtube algorithm? lol. Great video, actually one of the best I've seen I a while. Now subbed. Keep up the good work.
The actress has already been paid for her role so she doesn't care if the game fails at this point, she has no horse in the race. Corporations, however, have gotten so arrogant they think they're automatically entitled to our money. So they've stopped making products that customers want and instead now make products that push their own politics and they still feel they have a right to demand customers buy it, whether they want it or not.
As you talked in the second half of the video with the cyberpunk music in the background, I thought we really are closer to a cyberpunk dystopia than we thought.
That part of the end of the trailer is the only thing of any interest in the trailer and I had the same thought about the sword as you and finding out what it actually is is so lame,can't say I'm surprised though
@@doloresabernathy9809 Based on the ten minutes I've played hitherto, it's pretty sick. You can do counters (which basically is what makes me care about playing) and each time you do a counter it does it differently, so there's like five or more counter animations. Really sick.
So when "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" shampoo failed it was toxic hair washers? When the Edsel failed, toxic car drivers? Screw the individual labels, quit saying gamers and use consumers instead. We are consumers with preferences and that is not toxic.
Naught Dog had to have known how much backlash their teaser would have kicked up. I swear, these companies are purposely trying to shake their loyal customer bases. It’s like the reverse of how it’s always been
Great video, bud. This always irked me, that people like to talk about surface level issues of bigger problems or other topics that run much deeper. There is a saying in German: "If you don't have any clue about something, just shut the fuck up."
Dezembro. That Fanart, while it obviously looks like it's meant to be insulting, is actually made to mock DEI. The artist who worked on it is french and she was surprised that people took it as though she intended to insult people who are anti-dei. This is at least what I've heard.
Yeah that's not genuine at all. 😂 She knew what was the effect she wanted through it, but much like ND & Sony, she miscalculated just how abysmally wrong she is, and just how many people are done being silent whenever this same narrative & attitude pops up. 2-3 years ago they'd put a cork in it and scroll away, but 2024 is the year the bubble burst. Luarya basically wanted the exact same reaction that became popular over the past few years... To "own the chuds" and "own the incels", have the art shared far and wide, with an OVERWHELMING amount of supporters that - even if a comment would pop up speaking against it - would result in them mobbing the negative comment and shaming them or insulting them. When she saw that that's not what was happening anymore, and there's a whole lot more people empowered to speak against it, she started to try and backtrack her narrative into a position of "neutrality" with "aaah this is just to poke fun at situationnn" when hours before she was retweeting people doubling down on the "incel nonsense" and blocking people calling out her BS.
i don't mind her looks at all even now. i am for example a huge fan of korean cinema and being white i don't find korean people (or asian, se asian or oriental of any other type) attractive by default. sometimes they are, but most of the time they aren't (for me specifically). it's not like i'm repulsed by them, not at all, in fact i like them being different, it add some charm to them. basically i take it for what it is - d'uh, it's a different race with different facial structure and inherently some different beauty standards. the problem of uglification is in taking whatever face and making it uncanny and disfigured like with swo, fable or me andromeda back in the day. and i don't see this with the intergalactic chick. i don't mind her being asian, i don't mind he not being 90*60*90 model body type, i don't mind her shaving her dome. i think she looks nice for a ragged type role like some scavenger or bounty hunter or whatever. however, when it comes to her being smug, condescending, toxic and obnoxious for the sake of druckman's messaging i draw the line.
If they started the trailer with her already bald, but doing something competent (Flying the ship, fighting a creature) it may have been perceived better. But they focused on her cutting her hair and then brow beating her handler into letting her take on a risky job. That's not the sort of person I want to spend a 40+ hour game with.
It's kinda sad that now, if a character, especially female characters. Looks anything but a busty anime girl is now seen as woke because of these people. Character designs are very important. They don't just look appealing but tell you who a character is. What personality can you see from them by just their pose or the clothes that they wear. If a character looks rough, it makes you wonder what happened to them, what is their life like. Now it's, oh, she's not hot? Woke. The sad thing is that this statement is true now. Most of these people don't design these characters with the story or personality in mind. They have purposely made female characters unattractive. Because they have this weird hate towards appealing looking women.
I never understood ths thing about Ciri. She lioks just like in Witcher 4, except for one bad angle that people use as burning wood to "prove" they uglified her. They use 2% of the entire video, yet ignore the other 98% of her.
CAN YOU PIN THIS PLZ? everyone need to know we don't even need these stupid games ARCHETYPE STUDIO (working on EXODUS the real mass effect successor) is created by BioWare and naughty dog ex-devs (director of kotor , dragon age and Mass effect, writer of kotor and mass effect and all of the games producer are top members) REBEL WOLVES studio (working on the blood of Dawnwalker a medieval dark fantasy rpg about vampires and real Witcher successor) is created by CDPR's ex-devs (specifically Witcher and Cyberpunk Director and lead producer, writer, and Quest narrative designer are top members of the studio)ppl that wanted to polish cyberpunk more instead of releasing a broken game , ppl who said a pr manager don't have to be game director (i mean its obvious cuz they put money first not quality of the game) Plz tell everyone so we don't even need to wait for Stupid political games, what do they think they're making? It's not Bioshock or Metal Gear goddamn it.. its not political, they are making games with political agenda and these two things are so very much different..
Studio should take the actress to court to recoup losses incurred as a result of her dumb trolling. They should change the character's face too. To distance their game from her
The only part of this I'd disagree with is the idea that it's only now 'going out of fashion'. I'd argue it was never actually 'in' fashion, not in gaming. There's been no real successful woke game ever has there? It's been an artificial push based on wider societal issues, and even then 'woke' culture has been limited to a loud vocal minority on Twitter rather than the real world.
Hey can someone tell me about what other DEI games exist? I mean I saw this thought the character looked pretty cool but I’m seeing all gamers rising up against this being just DEI. But also naughty dog I don’t think has ever had a female main character, idk what the problem is? She’s a bounty hunter whose body looks toned like she uses it to fight. Idk maybe im out of the loop but the game seemed interesting but I’d like to see gameplay
Dustborn was a DEI game where the main character’s powers include bullying and cancelling. Dragon Age Veilguard is very DEI. It had a nonbinary companion character who was upset if misgendered but refused to call another companion character by his name and used a rude term. The upcoming assassins creed game has a black lead character in feudal Japan. The music that played was hip-hop.
@ sorry I meant like relevant franchises, dragon age and assassins creed haven’t released a relevant game in over a decade, I feel like a dying franchise trying to do something different even if stupid is better than continuing to release the same thing that no one liked
@@EmbracedDestinyMoving the goalposts with this one. The Last of Us 2 was largely DEI, killing off a legacy male hero in favor of a random new female character. Star Wars Outlaws, bland generic female lead. Concord, the $400 million bomb that was predicated on gender neutrality. Avowed, Forspoken. And that’s all just from recent memory.
Yeah before I watch this I would much rather not have AAA gaming change I would much rather be able to have that fun and easier time sifting through garbage. It's almost like it's putting it right in the light for us. Let that shit happen.
Certain game developers and games media thought that if they keep producing and promoting crap, gamers would eventually accept the crap and say thank you for the crap. That didn't happen and when gamers rejected the crap developers and media accused gamers of being "istaphobes". Game creators told them the game is not for them and they shouldn't buy it, but when gamers followed their advice they then bemoaned studio closures and blamed gamers for people losing their jobs. Months after a game's failure some game journalists examined the reasons why and among the causes were the poor writing, poor character design, and lack of innovation that gamers complained about at release. Back then none of these problems were addressed by legacy media who instead chose to redirect the conversation by insulting the user base, because the ideology had to be protected above all else.

It's not like they can't, they don't want to
More proof that it can be done. Jedi fallen order and survivor with Tina Ivlev (Merrin) and Elizabeth Grullond (2nd sister Trilla). They are are attractive women.
male gaze bad or something
@@HSG4meR Oh they can....for men.
Politics in gaming can work…
Just not the way they’re doing.
I personally don’t care as much as others on how the model looks. What will really decide my interest in her character is how she acts. Take Dion from FF16 for example, gay, but Dion did not make that his entire personality. He was a prince and badass dragoon knight before his sexuality. Then there’s Taash from DA:Veilguard, constant nagging about labels but also a hypocrite because she’ll do the exact same thing she complains about to others.
Dion was handled perfectly. His sexuality "didn't matter" to who he was as a character, to his story, to the huge issue going on within his family, and to the decisions he made.
Like it sounds nuts to even put this stuff into words. It's just "NORMAL", it's how these characters should be handled because it's how the "straight" characters are handled too lol the sexuality doesn't matter. It's just an external surface-level immutable quality that doesn't really need to be put under a microscope or exacerbated into a major plot point.
Meh, I don't care anymore. I used to be a big fan of ND, CDPR, Rockstar, Obsidian, Rocksteady, whatever.
We don't have to say anything anymore. They'll feel the crushing weight of their own failures. Nobody will hire them anymore and it's already happening.
Sit back and enjoy the show boys
No need to tell me twice I've been doing that since suicide.
The studio that got me into gaming is the same studio that got me jaded and indifferent to this crap.
Well Rockstar ain't got nothing to worry about when it comes to GTA 6 as that game is going to be the biggest entertainment launch of all time when it comes out next year regardless of how you personally feel about them as a company.
As far as I know typically you don't pay for product placement in this context, you use product placement to get paid. It could be seen as either a sign of how incestuous corporate America has become in that everything needs to be promoting something else, or that they don't have faith it's going to sell well and need the money. I mean realistically what portion of the audience crosses over with those in the market for a Porsche?
None. Adidas and Proche are a nono for me, but...
The Sony product placement isn't a first with Naughty Dog games and I actually kinda liked them before and don't mind it in Intergalactic.
Granted everything else about Intergalactic looks like absolute GARBAGE, but I'll defend that one point lol
@@yipperdeyip I'm with you, I think it's amusing and would be slick if everything else weren't so annoying.
I find the concept so bizarre, to just shove themselves in there like this without even seeing the full product first, and without even the proper placement (i.e: a racing game or a game with CARS for Porsche, rather than a broken down spaceship and a sports thing for Adidas?) But yeah it totally makes sense in a "paid sponsorship" kind of way. Hope it helps with the cost of the development 'cause god damn, they're going really big for this game.
Everything looks garbage? Like what? @@yipperdeyip

What? Wasn't the masculine, independent bossgirl baldie Mary Sue who is also a complete narcissist enough for you?
And they are those that will argue that males hate VA when that is not true because people love VA like Jennifer Hale who did Bayoneta and Samus Aran as well as Courtney Taylor who voiced Ada Wong in resident evil.Heck the VA who does Gokou is an 80 year old woman and she has a big fan base of mostly males.
And let's not forget Naruto's JP VA is also an old woman.
Didn't Jennifer Hale also do FemShep from Mass Effect?
@@sarasunshinemt4444 Yes she did
We got Zegler in the movie industry, and Gabrielle in the gaming industry.
Gabrielle also has a role in the upcoming Mortal Kombat movie. Soo.. do whatever with that information.
Fun-fact: Tati's hair stylist used a baseball bat to cut her hair. That's why it looks like that.
14:05 She still looks rough. It's llke they picked her to be an actress because she was below average in everything visually.
My brother doesn't have a problem with her, but I think she's a 4/10, lol. I could find ten women in ten minutes at Wal*Mart I'd rather. . . look at.
I think she looks cool on the right side picture. Very tomb raider ish energy
I think my comment was deleted just for saying I think she's ugly and my brother doesn't.
@@kyledodson2992 yes the Netflix's tomb raider
I disagree. The left Pic would look unflattering for anyone. It's very washed out. She looks fine, though, different look from the usual Instagram filter standard. But I get she wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea.
There are few things we need to remember:
1) investors are whats running the industry and gamers are becoming less important in what games get financed
2) these propgandists want audiences to be surrounded by this stuff, financial failures are worth being tanked as long as the ideology is driven into people
3) games take like 5 years to make, so even if DEI stuff is being completely scrubbed (highly optimistic) there are still many games in the pipeline with woke choices in them.
Additionally the government allows failures to be written off in taxes because they want this propaganda out there as much as the investors do, so these companies don't lose anything. The activist actors and writers still get paid. The only one who loses is the idiot dev studio that went along with it
Damn you, Blackrock.
Its all fun and games until your game flops due to its discourse.
Lets let history repeat itself.
I'm all for them releasing all that stuff. I'm not mad in the slightest. It's just something I won't buy. I don't buy a million things every day. It's just one more.
11:49 Bro how did you get THE Tati Gabrielle to actually come on to give a clip??? Hahaha "I don't HAVE to check the box office _Michael_ " has me rolling.
Lmao ye it was hilarious
Shoutout to Michael for putting up with her sh*t
It's always easier to assume that those that disagree with you are evil than to look in the mirror and see where one has f'ed up. Strawman arguments let them feel like they're in the right despite the sales showing the contrary.
It's easy to blame someone than yourself.
And surely they will never feel bad when they do it.
The 4 minutes from 25:19 onwards is incredible exposition, pointing out the difference between the idealism of the ideology and the reality of it.
You make a great point about how 10 years ago you wouldn't have batted an eye but now we've been so accustomed to these agenda characters with obnoxious personalities we now know exactly what we're getting with this character. At least these companies aren't trying to hide it like they used to. A few years ago mlvies and games would have trailers that left this stuff out so we might be fooled only to have the movie or whatever sneak it on us after we've made our 5icket or game purchase. Having to vet these movies and games before we unknowingly supported them with our dollars was getting exhausting. I have on the other hand, saved a lot of money these last 3 or 4 years on passing on the garbage.
I’ve been noticing this for years in the art community, not many people cared about race, it was a really small minority then all of sudden some people start up with this crap, an artist got accused of being racist for only drawing white people years ago, then some more years later (2020-ish) blackwashing started to become popular, along with “blacktober” which was about making non-black characters, black, including alot of asian characters, nowadays so many blackwash supporters considers japanese to be white and literally rant about japanese media not having black characters (you know, media specifically in japan) normally people blame executives rightfully so, but this isn’t just executives, its a whole racial war that has been going on, nobody cared about how a race was depicted until all this started, and if anything its just made people much worse about it , unless its someone educated on a certain culture and history pointing out flaws, its just gonna be tiktok arguments that are r@cist in someway
14:00 Damn... she looks WORSE with hair
they know exactly how the temperature & sales of modern, western AAA games are atm.., but they still both double downed..
(Sony Jp needs to step in for Naughty Dog.., or lose millions.., or they didn't learn anything from Concord & the Ghost 2 reveal reaction?)
...
female or trans lead? no problem.., but how about females / characters, that are actually appealing (& attractive)?.. do they want sales .. or pointless agenda pushing, no one cares about?.
It should be such a simple concept.
In heavy times like these where there's an obvious "divisive climate" in the industry, the best thing one can do is to stay AWAY from decisions that lean towards the issues.
Stellar Blade, Black Myth Wukong, Space-Marines 2, Path of Exile 2, Marvel Rivals, and hell, even 'less successful' games like Dragons Dogma 2 and Rise of the Ronin show that that's perfectly doable while still retaining "diverse" things such as female protagonists & character diversity.
What, it's a coincidence that Sony and their billions of dollars can't figure that out? Somehow we're the f*cking idiots, incels and bad guys for pointing out basic logical crap like this 😂
Traditional gamers had it with that and they are definitely not the minority, as so often called out by today's DEI mindset. I'm pretty sure we'll see the outcome of "you reap what you sow" when Intergalactic: The Disney's Reject lands on one of the world's biggest plattforms ever existed in videogame history. Stay healthy & and a happy '25 to you and familiy, Dez!! Educational content like this in times like these is so important & very much appreciated.
Just look at DEI slop sales. Where is this majority modern audience to drive sales? They don’t exist. Give it a few years and we all will consume Chinese entertainment as Western studios implode or get sold to China.
Jesus man, you are spitting FACTS in this video - You hit a LOT of great topics and points in this video - well done. 👏
I am new to the channel, but I have been going through past videos. I really like the analysis and humor.
Let the market forces work. They can make anything they want. We don't have to buy. We already seen the collapse of handful of companies.
Sad things about all this is the fact that now is 2024, soon 2025, by the time game gets released most people and companies will either drop DEI crap or they will go out of business. What Druckmann and that actress did is assuring everyone that ND wont exist anymore soon after game release.
That's why my favorite games for the past few years are Capcom Resident Evil remakes. They are based on superior games from the past and the Japanese don't really subscribe to wokeness.
Bro preached what we all think
having politics in game is fine. using game as political tool is not fine.
maybe the best video on the topic, you deserve more subs
Thanks, I appreciate it! :)
Whenever DEI hires happen all the damn time I can’t help but be reminded of something my coach said to my track team recently. He said he’s not going to put someone who didn’t even try at practice in an important meet event just because. No then he’d look bad. He’s only going to place racers in events based off of merit or how hard they work at practice, and nothing else. That’s what’s going on nowadays, these people who are not good at racing and have not been training are being placed in important meet events not based off of merit. Screwing up the meet and making the coach look like a fool.
Woefully under-subscribed. Great work!
Another intelligent commentary about this cultural insanity...yet you are one among only a very few who are actually voicing it with reason & nuance. I'm so glad you are continuing to speak out. Maybe one day you & other voices like you won't be drowned out by the loquacious activists who exchange logic for self-righteousness. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for the support and the kind comment! 🙏
I really enjoyed that. So very well said.
Great video bro. You did great in explaining your point and awesome questions at the end.
Thanks, I appreciate the comment! 😄
The Art looks better than the game models which is really what's funny to me. She'd really be roasted using the in game depictions. 😂
I have a feeling those product placements are whats paying for the budget of the game. Its so obvious it makes the "Wayne's World" product placement joke feel actual genuine. I'm just surprised blackrock/vanguard didn't feel like funding another flop for the umpteenth time.
Your videos are so good. But my assumption is that AAA(A) studio's will prefer to go bankrupt first before making good games again
Which is a good thing since they'll sell off the IP so actual devs can make
Alright you have earned my sub, seen another video or 2 of yours and its really good. Keep it up man.
yep in prewoke time i would not bat an eye at ugly bald mc, but now when we know how broken these devs, how they hate us and want feed slop to us, now nah with DEI - to shit it all😂
I miss the days when neither side was offended by each other. This crap is tiring.
Yup - Get ready for an extremely racist & prejudice future since the world is raising their children to think race + sexuality are your defining characteristics and must be discussed at EVERY opportunity (including when applying for work).
These idiots wouldn't survive being drafted to the military
There were no sides. Developers made passion projects, got successful or not. It's about games being entertainment and fun, not about current US politics.
It's okay to be discriminatory. You can discriminate against the things you don't like in favor of what you do. Just like you can discriminate against things you know will cause you harm for things that won't. It's not bigoted to refuse to drink the Kool-Aid, it's a valuable survival tool.
Of course it's an additude problem when we don't want someone to enter our house uninvited, open the fridge, drink all the alcohol and slam his feet on the table. Let them bark at us all they wan't, we're still not buying.
Make a game that looks like that anime thats on in the background.
I don't hate everything about the aesthetics, but that's the nicest thing I could say. It's a no for me on the product placement alone.
It has the modern generic Guardians of the Galaxy vibe to it as well.
5:49 my favourite discourse about the sword is that it's subtle foreshadowing to how red the steam reviews are gonna look once it comes out 😂
Man when that Cyberpunk 2077 music comes in
That OST was pretty damn fantastic
Damn my guy, where have u been hiding in the youtube algorithm? lol. Great video, actually one of the best I've seen I a while. Now subbed. Keep up the good work.
Brilliant video mate 👍 TH-cam recommended actually worked for once lol.
Thank you! Glad to hear it 😁✨
The future is here whether we like it or not, we need to not just accept it but embrace it.""
The actress has already been paid for her role so she doesn't care if the game fails at this point, she has no horse in the race.
Corporations, however, have gotten so arrogant they think they're automatically entitled to our money. So they've stopped making products that customers want and instead now make products that push their own politics and they still feel they have a right to demand customers buy it, whether they want it or not.
I’m eating some French bread with a healthy slathering of butter while I watch this.
Little Bill the Videogame.
As you talked in the second half of the video with the cyberpunk music in the background, I thought we really are closer to a cyberpunk dystopia than we thought.
Loved the Mass Effect Citadel music in the first half.
Oh boy... more Non-Buy-Nary.
She saw Tropic Thunder and thought Simple Jack had a great haircut
That part of the end of the trailer is the only thing of any interest in the trailer and I had the same thought about the sword as you and finding out what it actually is is so lame,can't say I'm surprised though
Bro. Probably the best video on this topic I've seen. 💪
What is the 40K video content playing? so cool.
New SpaceMarine 2 game
Full Title is "warhammer 40k Space Marine 2"
@ aha yes been meaning to play that soon
@@doloresabernathy9809 Based on the ten minutes I've played hitherto, it's pretty sick. You can do counters (which basically is what makes me care about playing) and each time you do a counter it does it differently, so there's like five or more counter animations. Really sick.
So when "Gee Your Hair Smells Terrific" shampoo failed it was toxic hair washers? When the Edsel failed, toxic car drivers? Screw the individual labels, quit saying gamers and use consumers instead. We are consumers with preferences and that is not toxic.
4:01 omg how does he know....
I was there, Gandalf. I was there 3000 years ago.
These kinds of people are the type who will do anything to "win the battle" even if it means they lose the war.
Very good take on the subject. Thank you
Iam tired of it DEI....non DEI....woke.....non Woke.... at which point we loose the way that games are for fun not other?!
Naught Dog had to have known how much backlash their teaser would have kicked up.
I swear, these companies are purposely trying to shake their loyal customer bases.
It’s like the reverse of how it’s always been
Great video, bud.
This always irked me, that people like to talk about surface level issues of bigger problems or other topics that run much deeper. There is a saying in German: "If you don't have any clue about something, just shut the fuck up."
It’s lazy virtue signaling. Why spend effort learnings about the deep levels of a topic when you can spout word salad that takes only five minutes?
Most “woke” people and most “anti-woke” people have no idea what they’re talking about.
Dezembro. That Fanart, while it obviously looks like it's meant to be insulting, is actually made to mock DEI. The artist who worked on it is french and she was surprised that people took it as though she intended to insult people who are anti-dei.
This is at least what I've heard.
french? that's woke ☝🤓
Well, there's no mistaking how Tupac lady used it, regardless of what it meant originally.
You heard damage control from someone who didn't expect FO after FA.
you heard wrong.
Yeah that's not genuine at all. 😂 She knew what was the effect she wanted through it, but much like ND & Sony, she miscalculated just how abysmally wrong she is, and just how many people are done being silent whenever this same narrative & attitude pops up.
2-3 years ago they'd put a cork in it and scroll away, but 2024 is the year the bubble burst. Luarya basically wanted the exact same reaction that became popular over the past few years... To "own the chuds" and "own the incels", have the art shared far and wide, with an OVERWHELMING amount of supporters that - even if a comment would pop up speaking against it - would result in them mobbing the negative comment and shaming them or insulting them.
When she saw that that's not what was happening anymore, and there's a whole lot more people empowered to speak against it, she started to try and backtrack her narrative into a position of "neutrality" with "aaah this is just to poke fun at situationnn" when hours before she was retweeting people doubling down on the "incel nonsense" and blocking people calling out her BS.
another banger drops 🍿
i don't mind her looks at all even now. i am for example a huge fan of korean cinema and being white i don't find korean people (or asian, se asian or oriental of any other type) attractive by default. sometimes they are, but most of the time they aren't (for me specifically). it's not like i'm repulsed by them, not at all, in fact i like them being different, it add some charm to them. basically i take it for what it is - d'uh, it's a different race with different facial structure and inherently some different beauty standards. the problem of uglification is in taking whatever face and making it uncanny and disfigured like with swo, fable or me andromeda back in the day. and i don't see this with the intergalactic chick. i don't mind her being asian, i don't mind he not being 90*60*90 model body type, i don't mind her shaving her dome. i think she looks nice for a ragged type role like some scavenger or bounty hunter or whatever. however, when it comes to her being smug, condescending, toxic and obnoxious for the sake of druckman's messaging i draw the line.
The most radical disciples of any movement are the very last to acknowledge that *it has failed* .
"You mad bro"? No. We aren't mad at all. We are greatly disappointed and sad to see the fall of another company 😞
i am not this confident in burning my own money... wow
There is a clear disconnect between people that play games and people creating the games and it's not being addressed, it's being doubled down.
Great video 👍🏻
If they started the trailer with her already bald, but doing something competent (Flying the ship, fighting a creature) it may have been perceived better.
But they focused on her cutting her hair and then brow beating her handler into letting her take on a risky job.
That's not the sort of person I want to spend a 40+ hour game with.
So much truth.
It's kinda sad that now, if a character, especially female characters. Looks anything but a busty anime girl is now seen as woke because of these people.
Character designs are very important. They don't just look appealing but tell you who a character is. What personality can you see from them by just their pose or the clothes that they wear. If a character looks rough, it makes you wonder what happened to them, what is their life like.
Now it's, oh, she's not hot? Woke. The sad thing is that this statement is true now. Most of these people don't design these characters with the story or personality in mind. They have purposely made female characters unattractive. Because they have this weird hate towards appealing looking women.
The outro song sounds a lot like fields of dusk from Jedi survivor
I never understood ths thing about Ciri. She lioks just like in Witcher 4, except for one bad angle that people use as burning wood to "prove" they uglified her. They use 2% of the entire video, yet ignore the other 98% of her.
It’s also a newer version of their engine, so the character model has to look slightly different by default. Ciri is still hot.
Dezembro video while having lunch, nice day

CDPR's ex-devs (specifically Witcher and Cyberpunk
Director and lead producer, writer, and Quest narrative designer are top members of the studio)ppl that wanted to polish cyberpunk more instead of releasing a broken game , ppl who said a pr manager don't have to be game director (i mean its obvious cuz they put money first not quality of the game)

Stupid political games, what do they think they're making?
It's not Bioshock or Metal Gear goddamn it..
its not political, they are making games with political agenda
and these two things are so very much different..
LMFAO @12:00 that skit was fantastic 😂😂
Hilarious but true
Studio should take the actress to court to recoup losses incurred as a result of her dumb trolling. They should change the character's face too. To distance their game from her
I hated how rude she(?) was to her handler. The jobgiver was clearly concerned but the 2cool4u protag was a douche.
It amazes how people are going batsh*t over a game they haven't played let alone haven't shown any gameplay
The only part of this I'd disagree with is the idea that it's only now 'going out of fashion'.
I'd argue it was never actually 'in' fashion, not in gaming. There's been no real successful woke game ever has there? It's been an artificial push based on wider societal issues, and even then 'woke' culture has been limited to a loud vocal minority on Twitter rather than the real world.
What would you say if Intergalactic sold well?
Hey can someone tell me about what other DEI games exist? I mean I saw this thought the character looked pretty cool but I’m seeing all gamers rising up against this being just DEI. But also naughty dog I don’t think has ever had a female main character, idk what the problem is? She’s a bounty hunter whose body looks toned like she uses it to fight. Idk maybe im out of the loop but the game seemed interesting but I’d like to see gameplay
Dustborn was a DEI game where the main character’s powers include bullying and cancelling. Dragon Age Veilguard is very DEI. It had a nonbinary companion character who was upset if misgendered but refused to call another companion character by his name and used a rude term. The upcoming assassins creed game has a black lead character in feudal Japan. The music that played was hip-hop.
@ sorry I meant like relevant franchises, dragon age and assassins creed haven’t released a relevant game in over a decade, I feel like a dying franchise trying to do something different even if stupid is better than continuing to release the same thing that no one liked
@@EmbracedDestinyMoving the goalposts with this one.
The Last of Us 2 was largely DEI, killing off a legacy male hero in favor of a random new female character. Star Wars Outlaws, bland generic female lead. Concord, the $400 million bomb that was predicated on gender neutrality. Avowed, Forspoken. And that’s all just from recent memory.
Yeah before I watch this I would much rather not have AAA gaming change I would much rather be able to have that fun and easier time sifting through garbage. It's almost like it's putting it right in the light for us. Let that shit happen.
Certain game developers and games media thought that if they keep producing and promoting crap, gamers would eventually accept the crap and say thank you for the crap. That didn't happen and when gamers rejected the crap developers and media accused gamers of being "istaphobes". Game creators told them the game is not for them and they shouldn't buy it, but when gamers followed their advice they then bemoaned studio closures and blamed gamers for people losing their jobs. Months after a game's failure some game journalists examined the reasons why and among the causes were the poor writing, poor character design, and lack of innovation that gamers complained about at release. Back then none of these problems were addressed by legacy media who instead chose to redirect the conversation by insulting the user base, because the ideology had to be protected above all else.
