Assholes like Chris Kindred crapping all over him and the legacy he has left behind. People like Chris are THE MOST EVIL PEOPLE OUT THERE AND IT ISN'T EVEN CLOSE.

My Steam year in review showed I played over 50 games and only 1% of my gaming hours were spent on new releases. My boycott of problematic developers hasn't been any bother as we have 30 years of past games to discover or revisit. I binged and bought a couple dozen games this holiday, none of them new AAA titles, so I'm set for another year of boycott. Still an overly avid gamer. Devs need to realize we're not a captive audience anymore.
@@2nd_Directorate ^^ i dont even buy a lot yet to clear my backlog i would had to quit my job and play games full time for a year or two. I can't even imagine how big is a backlog of people who stack all those promo bundles obsessively. I can definitely stay nonbuynary for far longer than any weirdo dev can stay solvent.
Old games are good and there is enough of them for lifetime already. I'm 41 years old - I don't need to be lectured by some overprevileged and spoiled rich kids from ultraliberal, american families about "social justice".
Yeah my ps3 and ps2 got way more gaming done than my ps5. This year I finally got back into pc gaming with a steam deck. I’m a handheld guy and there are sook many awesome pc only indie titles I can’t wait to play.
@AvaaSlays_Swiftie I run a $700 pc and my buddy runs the Steamdeck. It's bonus for him because the Steamdeck is portable and he plays on my extra widescreen. For some high end games we both find GeForce preferable, worth a couple months of subscription.
The sentence was ended prematurely. It is not "Sweet Baby Inc does nothing", it is "Sweet Baby Inc does nothing GOOD". All they can do is ensure failure.
It always amuses me how these journos and activists have the gall to call *us* the disingenuous ones, yet these are the same people who refuse to acknowledge the likes of BlackRock or Sweet Baby Inc, and will try to come up with every excuse under the sun for why this stuff keeps happening in the industry and why it often keeps failing. And even if they do acknowledge them, they severely downplay what it is these corporations do and how much impact they actually have, all in an attempt to gaslight the general public as much as possible. At least we actually have the guts to call this crap out and are just being honest, as well as not insulting people's intelligence. If anything, THEY'RE the disingenuous ones for straight-up lying to people's faces and thinking they're stupid enough that they can tell them anything and they'll just automatically believe it, when we know full well exactly what's going on.
yes, gamers are a lot harder to trick then those who always watch/watched legacy media all the time. the moment a game is out a gamer will see everything from the moment of release. very hard to hide from that. not like those journos will have the brains to see that.
"Game journalists" would NEVER tell the truth about GG, because they are responsible for at least HALF of the controversy. And they can never admit it.
I didn't know I was a right-wing reactionary, I just want good video games and an end to this woke crap in all art forms. I play older games and watch older movies now waiting for common sense and basic decency to return.
You must be a classic liberal or Democrat I view them as the same thing, but yeah these days a classic liberal or Democrat are viewed as right wing, hell the president himself Trump is a classic liberal or democrat, he still stands by the policies of the Democrats back when he was a young man, but because the left went super far left, he doesn't agree with him so he's viewed by them as Republican, but as someone that's been a republican all my life, I view him as still somewhat liberal, in fact a lot of people that are liberals that converted to republicanism, still have a lot of mentalities and belief systems that are still rooted in liberalism or democrat viewpoints, which means they didn't really become Republican, they're more Republican lite than anything. Even influencers such as Tim pool I still view Republican lite, because he has opinions and policies based off of when he was a liberal a classic liberal I mean or a classic Democrat, and he still believes those things, however he's been more open to certain things on the right as well with Trump and many other people that have come from the Democratic party and have converted into republicanism. I've been on this planet for 37 years, I know what's going on, basically the demographics are shifting certain thoughts or opinions are shifting based off of circumstances within the culture, and both sides are changing, I can't even tell you how far the right has changed, in many ways the right wing has turned more center left in some ways, something I would never have imagined happening as a kid who grew up with Republican family and Republican values, now I see these days Republicans are suddenly into the gays rights thing, I find that so bizarre given my upbringing, but that's just showing you how the demographics have shifted in the party, I mean for a while there people were championing that gay guy what's his name something yiannopolis, and he was all MAGA and suddenly he was being accepted within the party, that would have never happened 25 years ago, it's insane! But the same thing is happening on the left as well, the left or at least the far left are creating division within their own party the people that used to be on the left are suddenly leaning more to the right because of psychopaths taking over the left wing LOL, now the media will talk about the alt right, and I don't actually see any real evidence of all right influence, I just see people that were libertarian who became right wing in this recent demographic, but then again maybe I'm blind to certain things, again a lot of things have changed politically in this nation within the last 25 to 30 years, I was just a kid back then, what do I know right? I just know the values that we had back then and I know that some of those values are still there till this day but not all of them are the same. I love my video games, I've Loved video games for a very long time, but unfortunately and this day and age everything's f****** political for whatever reason and I hate it, I want things to go back to some normalcy back when during the 90s, yes sucks back then we didn't have smartphone technology and TH-cam, but certain things were just better back then gaming was better movies were better less people were politically charged over stupid nonsense, these days everything's f****** political and I hate it, it's gotten to the point where I'm not sure I can support epic games Gog or even steam because of certain political stances all these companies have jumped upon.
Same. And I'm also a Middle Eastern. I don't hate diversity in games when the game is good and the diversity is well done, like Dragon Age Origins or Baldur's Gate 3. But I'm tired of hateful, talentless racists and sexists with hateful posts about white men on social media hide behind DEI narratives and project their bigotry to their 'target audience' when their terrible products inevitably fail. We just wanna have immersive, interesting, fun, well written games made by normal people again. I never got to find out the political stances of devs who made games like Morrowind, Arx Fatalis, Crash Bandicoot, Worms, Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Jade Empire...etc, and I'm happy about it. Gaming isn't (or at least shouldn't be) a Reddit echo chamber. We're gonna continue to vote with our wallets until they are either forced to stop what they're doing or have their companies destroyed and replaced by other competitors due to economic failures.
Game journalists really serve no purpose these days. Why do I need a middle man to tell me about a game? There are plenty of gameplay videos, reviews, trial periods, and demos. I don't need them.
Companies use game journalists as a form of marketing and that's basically why they continue to exist. Most reviews from these sites nowadays and even some reviewers here are the same. They've continued to put increasingly stringent conditions on reviewers in recent years, effectively allowing them to only play certain segments of the game for their reviews. And, it isn't just the western ones doing this.
During the Hogwarts boycott, I found Hogwarts on Twitch, and was also introduced to a load of games I had never heard of. Things like HiFi Rush, just watch your favourite anime streamer (Silvervale in my case)
The two sided culture war doesn't have any room for normal people in the middle. If the left is pushing their increasingly erratic values, everyone that doesn't align with it is painted as the right. That includes far right reactionaries. I exclusively vote left, but have no love for DEI/woke shit, so I end up in the middle rolling my eyes at some of the company I have to keep on this particular issue. This is all hollywood and media outlets making noise, and considering who owns most of the big media, I'm not averse to thinking it's being propped up intentionally to cause chaos between the rest of us. Then YT creators got caught pushing russia/china propaganda, some big names in that list too. I wouldn't be shocked to find out a lot of the fires started in GG2 were initially set by people that want us to hate each other.
@@Spongemonkey26 Pretty much and it's not just in gaming. Things that were normal a decade ago are now considered extreme right, racist, misogynist, etc. Honestly was surprised the other day when my sister said it was racist when people asked where she came from because she isn't white. I mean.. wtf? How is that even racist. If you stand out, people will be curious about a part of you that stands out. There's nothing racist about that. I feel like at this point I'm the only one of my siblings who is keeping the others somewhat sane, because the indoctrination's really starting to hit my brother as well (to my surprise he pretty much blindly believe most of the war propaganda and actually thinks N. Koreans are being slain by the hundreds if not thousands. I expected better of him).
Personally I'd be happy to see the Gaming Media simply shut down. And no, I don't care if these people lose their jobs because they have not been doing their jobs for a decade now.
I haven't read gaming articles for decades, but I am grateful to TH-camrs like Vara for pointing out sites like IGN, Polygon, because I never actually visit, so I don't know ho wbad they are
I'm neither "left" or "right". But I will never let these idiots destroy one of the things I love. Gaming brings joy to millions of people and it ALREADY IS one of the most inclusive hobbies. There's a genre for everyone, from visual novels to turn based rpgs to fast paced action, solo/coop or pvp, etc... They're the ultimate art form as they've visuals, music, storytelling and interaction. F all these activists who try to ruin the peak of human entertainment
The only studio getting laid off is western studio. Last year nintendo giving raise to their employees. It's not the state of entire gaming industry, it's only the state of western gaming industries. Eastern dev are alive and thriving, and people STILL buy games
well, 'improved' as in conform to DEI from their perspective - by wrecking the story and characters. But they don't care about games, and they hate gamers, win-win, right?
@@heyitsenygma The vsat majority of journlists are completely worthless. They do little more than regurgitate press releases and act as corporate mouthpieces or peddlers of propaganda. There are a small number of journos who do a genuinely good job but they're so rare that if journalism as a whole ceased to exist, the world would be a better place on balance.
They make up an enemy, make up the enemies position. And respond to a group that doesn't exist. Then compare anyone that disagrees with them with this group they've made up.
People lost these jobs because their co-workers and suppliers and industry media and their own leadership kept picking fights with customers. And that leadership is really at fault. If AAA game dev execs told the suppliers and workers and media to "cut the crap", this would be over within a week or two. My first job was bagging groceries. Soon after I started we had a guy come into the store with an empty steak wrapper and no receipt, complaining that the steaks were bad and he wanted his money back. I was left with the distinct impression that he had fished the wrapper out of a trash can and was scamming the store. The assistant manager gave him his money straight away. When I asked him why, he said "never argue with a customer", because nobody, even long-time, first-name-basis customers, want to come in the store and hear some guy screaming about how us thieves sold him bad meat and won't give him his money back. That is basic business, but the modern games industry thinks that they are somehow above these kinds of basic truths. However, they aren't.
it is all part of their plan. The mission of these activists is to destroy the video game industry. By insulting and alienating the majority of customers (they know we are the majority, death of Concord is proof enough) who are a pillar of the industry, the activist devs are hastening the crash of the video game industry in the west.
Everything a lot of companies have been doing in the last 4 years is so anti business that it has to be purposefully by designed. So im assuming that any company that got swindled into the DEI money from vanguard and black rock during covid are now pawns in their attempt to social engineering the world into basically 1984. Its so incredibly anti business that this only seems like the most practical and logical reason all these companies that mostly don't even live in thr same industries are all doing the same garbage. Its why schools are pushing this crap, they're trying to socially engineer the world. I think Blackrock and vanguard have close to 50 trillion dollars between them. People say "these companies are losing money!" Idk if they understand what and how much 1 trillion dollars even is, sounds like monopoly money to them when it's like, the value of several nations altogether. Evil will spend that much to fuck the world
Maybe back then. Today you can come in with the original packaged article that you just bought and a receipt. They'll just say 'You won't sue us over that so F. you.'
Imagine if most music artists didnt actually like music, imagine if film directors and actors didnt enjoy cinema; that's the current state of the video games industry.
Remember folks, these are the same people - Shunned gamers for steller blade and wukong because of pretty female characters - Scold and bullied gamers for playing Hogwarts Legacy, calling gamers "Transphobic", even tho there's a character that's trans and has a trans VA - got upset gamers don't play DA: Veilguard Honestly, let them cry Edit: For wukong, Urinalists couldn't make it to chapter 2 to find a waifu... which is even worse and more embarrassing
It's funny how they word it if only a few anti woke activists would make a ruckus, while at the same time they make brutal losses which clearly shows a lot of people and not only a few are tired of their ESG values. In reality it's the modern gamer group that seems to be only a smaller group that also doesn't like to open their wallets and buy the games which are made for them. Know your paying customer.
Let's be real here, anything touched by SBI or DEI isn't a game anymore. It's propaganda. So it's understandable these proppos are not fun. Coz they're not meant to be. They're not games. Stay nonbuynary, fellow gamers. Good games are like good food, you'd know it just from the look and feel of it.
"Journos" and DEI corps could just glide silent and graceful into unemployment, but they keep kicking and screaming while doubling down on stupid for our amusement either way it looks like the grift cant sustain itself anymore and thats a good thing
In 2014 we tried to help fix both the game blog industry and the AAA gaming industry. Both of them rejected our help and decided to keep going full-bore with DEI/ESG. They kept not only hiring people who hated gamers but they also designed their games in a way that actively crapped on the gamers who bought them. Over time, it's come to this. Nobody likes the games now, not even the hardcore progressives who once championed the changes.
Many are puzzled by the current state of the game industry. In simple terms, it's like food critics evaluating a dish from an artistic angle, completely ignoring whether it actually tastes good.
I just don’t understand how they can easily turn the blind eye to the fact that none of these games are even selling! You could sit here and argue whatever you want, but if it doesn’t sell, then what exactly are you trying to tell? Bottom line normal people don’t want all this stuff shove in their face and they don’t want these boring unattractive uninspired characters to play as.
their ideology blinds them - Yoda, probably. Woke doesn't sell, is unpopular and a minority opinion, is counter-narrative. They will get lynched by their own side for saying so, but they picked sides, and they are stuck with it
6:43 changing Mr Freeze to a woman is an odd choice considering how loved he is in certain iterations for being a “toxic male” getting what he deserves - then again in most he’s an undyingly loyal man and it’s destroyed him, which is fairly iconic of the male experience, so that’s probably it.
I thought they wanted us to get used to not owning their games? I mean, I got used to it, it really isn't difficult at all to not want to play games built around activism instead of fun.
I'm as liberal as they get. I'll hug every damned tree in the forest and fight for the rights of every person, regardless whether I subscribe to their beliefs or not. But I will NOT spend my money on a video game that is going to preach and nag at me. Not. One. Penny.
Fighting for the rights of all people isn't leftwing. They care a lot more about certain people and not at all about others; the natural conclusion of the Marxist divide-and-conquer strategy of organizing all peoples into "oppressor" and "oppressed." If your innate characteristics put you into the former group, then you're their enemy. They don't actually give a shit about justice, and never did.
Game developers who don’t even know how to make games, they have to hire expensive consultants to do their jobs. What a great job! Don’t feel bad for the layoffs.
I don’t care if they make a good game again -- unless they show us the game haters pink slips to include lifetime ban from working ever again with that company and other devs who are you associated with game dev company. I do not trust them with MY money!
They are doubling down to push for the " We need to change mindsets and force better behaviors in gaming and for the gamers". Off course. The goal being attempting to convince the industry and the public, pretend that the problem is coming from how toxic the gamers culture always was before they arrived and tried to "change it for the better". Some corporations already faked backing up on DEI and just called it something else but reinforced everything that is in relation to compelled speech and behaviors and intentionally vague interpretations of what is "hate speech" "unwanted behaviors" "discretionary terms", etc. They instantly made guidelines to be able to control their media, the information around them, etc. Get ready for this bullshit to take off in 2025, this is gonna be the new gaslight, the new lies attempting to change what the reality always was before them. They will list all of the events of the last 2 years, all of their controversies and their open display of racism and sexism, of blatant nepotism and discrimination, then turn it around, pretend that they were the victims, that what they did never happened and that it's not happening, that they are made up conspiracies started by "the hateful people" "the anti us" people, that they were only "fighting against the hate that is rampant in the gaming industry". Then they will call it "toxic gaming culture" or some terms around that and then link it to some "society construct" "the patriarchy", "systemic sexism" etc, then point at the majority of gamers being males. They already started doing it in fact, look at these gaslight articles that are starting to come out in quantity. They will flood the media with these. The gamers are gonna become the problem that "we" need to change.
Doesn't matter. Won't work. We'll all happily wait until they're bankrupt or completely irrelevant. They can not win this fight. They have to do the impossible to win (change the hearts and minds of the majority), and for us to win, all we have to do is nothing.
SBI isn't just the one company, though. It's like calling all tissues kleenex. We've got Devolver and Hit Detection and people in internal dev teams all making up the bulk of the problem, and we'll follow them to the ends of the Earth to call it out when their festering ideology infects a project - until they've been cleansed from the industry entirely and games are made for gamers again.
Oh, so I'm a bigot for not buying overpriced garbage with themes and characters I could not give the slightest shit about? Oh no.. let me go back to playing my PSX and MS-DOS era games. I might care in... never mind, never going to.
I don’t care if the gaming community is labeled as “evil” or whatever. It’s not going to change anyone’s stance on what they want out of AAA games. If it means we start getting good western AAA games again, I’ll play the bad guy. In the mean time I’ll keep playing and giving all my money to eastern game studios.
Won't be long that cameras will be seeing what you buy and what you avoid and just assume your racist probably get a message saying why you not buying call of duty black ops 6 me its shit why it's shit good luck trying to argue with this one probably get fined for not supporting left wing propaganda Bullshit probably gonna get fined for these youtube messages I swear to God lol probably get fiend for the lack of grammar aswel the world is run by nazis
Copycat games are nothing new lmao. That's how entire genres are spawned. Where do they think first person shooters came from? None of these people actually play video games, they spend all their free time bitching on Twitter.
As gaming Journalism goes Dinosaur, Game publishers will simply switch to the TH-cam Bootlickers they've been cultivating. I think most of us who those will be. Yes, the ones who have been given some access already.
I have a Steam library of 700+ games. The last 500 of which we bought without a single reference to "professional games journalists" Once I realised they give AAA publishers who advertise with them a guaranteed score boost. It was clear that they had zero integrity. I don't miss AAA games. And I certainly don't miss "professional reviewers" Would be entirely happy if both groups disappeared forever. It wouldn't make any difference to me at all. I've not referred to those journalists for reviews - or bought those AAA games full of DEI and microtransactions for years. And game with better games that offer better value supporting passionate small developers. AAA can end up in the garbage for all I care.

Old games are good and there is enough of them for lifetime already. I'm 41 years old - I don't need to be lectured by some overprevileged and spoiled rich kids from ultraliberal, american families about "social justice".
Yeah my ps3 and ps2 got way more gaming done than my ps5. This year I finally got back into pc gaming with a steam deck. I’m a handheld guy and there are sook many awesome pc only indie titles I can’t wait to play.
@AvaaSlays_Swiftie I run a $700 pc and my buddy runs the Steamdeck. It's bonus for him because the Steamdeck is portable and he plays on my extra widescreen. For some high end games we both find GeForce preferable, worth a couple months of subscription.
The sentence was ended prematurely. It is not "Sweet Baby Inc does nothing", it is "Sweet Baby Inc does nothing GOOD". All they can do is ensure failure.
Sweet baby's 💋 of death
It always amuses me how these journos and activists have the gall to call *us* the disingenuous ones, yet these are the same people who refuse to acknowledge the likes of BlackRock or Sweet Baby Inc, and will try to come up with every excuse under the sun for why this stuff keeps happening in the industry and why it often keeps failing. And even if they do acknowledge them, they severely downplay what it is these corporations do and how much impact they actually have, all in an attempt to gaslight the general public as much as possible.
At least we actually have the guts to call this crap out and are just being honest, as well as not insulting people's intelligence. If anything, THEY'RE the disingenuous ones for straight-up lying to people's faces and thinking they're stupid enough that they can tell them anything and they'll just automatically believe it, when we know full well exactly what's going on.
yes, gamers are a lot harder to trick then those who always watch/watched legacy media all the time. the moment a game is out a gamer will see everything from the moment of release. very hard to hide from that. not like those journos will have the brains to see that.
Very well said & spot on
Gamers are sitting here watching the house burn down lolz WE ARE UNTOUCHED BY FIRE!!
It's not the house burning down, it is their own company they are burning.
"Game journalists" would NEVER tell the truth about GG, because they are responsible for at least HALF of the controversy. And they can never admit it.

Half? Pretty much all of it my man.

@@TH-camCensors Nah, there were really shitty people on the GG-side too. Half sounds about right.
@@Simon200o Three-quarters.
I didn't know I was a right-wing reactionary, I just want good video games and an end to this woke crap in all art forms. I play older games and watch older movies now waiting for common sense and basic decency to return.
For the DEI hires pretty much every normal gamer is considered a misogynistic right-wing homophobe fascist, lol
I've been a Democrat for 24 years, and apparently I'm a right-wing reactionary too! 🤣🤡
They want to ghost men out of the workforce and put non-binary people in key positions. This is why Gen Z can't get laid.
You must be a classic liberal or Democrat I view them as the same thing, but yeah these days a classic liberal or Democrat are viewed as right wing, hell the president himself Trump is a classic liberal or democrat, he still stands by the policies of the Democrats back when he was a young man, but because the left went super far left, he doesn't agree with him so he's viewed by them as Republican, but as someone that's been a republican all my life, I view him as still somewhat liberal, in fact a lot of people that are liberals that converted to republicanism, still have a lot of mentalities and belief systems that are still rooted in liberalism or democrat viewpoints, which means they didn't really become Republican, they're more Republican lite than anything.
Even influencers such as Tim pool I still view Republican lite, because he has opinions and policies based off of when he was a liberal a classic liberal I mean or a classic Democrat, and he still believes those things, however he's been more open to certain things on the right as well with Trump and many other people that have come from the Democratic party and have converted into republicanism.
I've been on this planet for 37 years, I know what's going on, basically the demographics are shifting certain thoughts or opinions are shifting based off of circumstances within the culture, and both sides are changing, I can't even tell you how far the right has changed, in many ways the right wing has turned more center left in some ways, something I would never have imagined happening as a kid who grew up with Republican family and Republican values, now I see these days Republicans are suddenly into the gays rights thing, I find that so bizarre given my upbringing, but that's just showing you how the demographics have shifted in the party, I mean for a while there people were championing that gay guy what's his name something yiannopolis, and he was all MAGA and suddenly he was being accepted within the party, that would have never happened 25 years ago, it's insane!
But the same thing is happening on the left as well, the left or at least the far left are creating division within their own party the people that used to be on the left are suddenly leaning more to the right because of psychopaths taking over the left wing LOL, now the media will talk about the alt right, and I don't actually see any real evidence of all right influence, I just see people that were libertarian who became right wing in this recent demographic, but then again maybe I'm blind to certain things, again a lot of things have changed politically in this nation within the last 25 to 30 years, I was just a kid back then, what do I know right? I just know the values that we had back then and I know that some of those values are still there till this day but not all of them are the same.
I love my video games, I've Loved video games for a very long time, but unfortunately and this day and age everything's f****** political for whatever reason and I hate it, I want things to go back to some normalcy back when during the 90s, yes sucks back then we didn't have smartphone technology and TH-cam, but certain things were just better back then gaming was better movies were better less people were politically charged over stupid nonsense, these days everything's f****** political and I hate it, it's gotten to the point where I'm not sure I can support epic games Gog or even steam because of certain political stances all these companies have jumped upon.
Same. And I'm also a Middle Eastern. I don't hate diversity in games when the game is good and the diversity is well done, like Dragon Age Origins or Baldur's Gate 3. But I'm tired of hateful, talentless racists and sexists with hateful posts about white men on social media hide behind DEI narratives and project their bigotry to their 'target audience' when their terrible products inevitably fail.
We just wanna have immersive, interesting, fun, well written games made by normal people again. I never got to find out the political stances of devs who made games like Morrowind, Arx Fatalis, Crash Bandicoot, Worms, Neverwinter Nights, KOTOR, Jade Empire...etc, and I'm happy about it.
Gaming isn't (or at least shouldn't be) a Reddit echo chamber. We're gonna continue to vote with our wallets until they are either forced to stop what they're doing or have their companies destroyed and replaced by other competitors due to economic failures.
Game journalists really serve no purpose these days. Why do I need a middle man to tell me about a game? There are plenty of gameplay videos, reviews, trial periods, and demos. I don't need them.
These are the same "game journalists" that can't get through the Cuphead tutorial map.
Companies use game journalists as a form of marketing and that's basically why they continue to exist. Most reviews from these sites nowadays and even some reviewers here are the same. They've continued to put increasingly stringent conditions on reviewers in recent years, effectively allowing them to only play certain segments of the game for their reviews. And, it isn't just the western ones doing this.
@@ohnosmoarlulcatz Not even mentioning the bribes?
@@dawnfire82 That's why it's marketing. The reviews they put out are just ads aka sponsored content or whatever else you want to call them.
During the Hogwarts boycott,
I found Hogwarts on Twitch, and was also introduced to a load of games I had never heard of.
Things like HiFi Rush, just watch your favourite anime streamer (Silvervale in my case)
I hate they keep calling good common sense, normal people, right wing or Nazis or anti woke
The two sided culture war doesn't have any room for normal people in the middle. If the left is pushing their increasingly erratic values, everyone that doesn't align with it is painted as the right. That includes far right reactionaries. I exclusively vote left, but have no love for DEI/woke shit, so I end up in the middle rolling my eyes at some of the company I have to keep on this particular issue.
This is all hollywood and media outlets making noise, and considering who owns most of the big media, I'm not averse to thinking it's being propped up intentionally to cause chaos between the rest of us. Then YT creators got caught pushing russia/china propaganda, some big names in that list too. I wouldn't be shocked to find out a lot of the fires started in GG2 were initially set by people that want us to hate each other.
It's called Projection. They do what they accuse us of doing.
That's the tribes way
@@Spongemonkey26 Pretty much and it's not just in gaming. Things that were normal a decade ago are now considered extreme right, racist, misogynist, etc. Honestly was surprised the other day when my sister said it was racist when people asked where she came from because she isn't white. I mean.. wtf? How is that even racist. If you stand out, people will be curious about a part of you that stands out. There's nothing racist about that. I feel like at this point I'm the only one of my siblings who is keeping the others somewhat sane, because the indoctrination's really starting to hit my brother as well (to my surprise he pretty much blindly believe most of the war propaganda and actually thinks N. Koreans are being slain by the hundreds if not thousands. I expected better of him).
If you have common sense, then you're anti woke, common sense ain't that common anymore...
Personally I'd be happy to see the Gaming Media simply shut down. And no, I don't care if these people lose their jobs because they have not been doing their jobs for a decade now.
I haven't read gaming articles for decades,
but I am grateful to TH-camrs like Vara for pointing out
sites like IGN, Polygon, because I never actually visit, so I don't know ho wbad they are
Agreed, they can flip burgers
It's been like that for far longer then a decade, it's just that there are more alternative now days.
I just cannot get over how much they care about that DEI initiative so much over the actual games.
It’s literally “How dare you tell us no!”
They're victim blaming and won't take no for an answer, either.
It's the agenda of the rich and powerful.
I'm neither "left" or "right". But I will never let these idiots destroy one of the things I love. Gaming brings joy to millions of people and it ALREADY IS one of the most inclusive hobbies. There's a genre for everyone, from visual novels to turn based rpgs to fast paced action, solo/coop or pvp, etc... They're the ultimate art form as they've visuals, music, storytelling and interaction. F all these activists who try to ruin the peak of human entertainment
Being against censorship means you lean right.
it is too inclusive , it shouldnt welcome bigot wokeys
The only studio getting laid off is western studio. Last year nintendo giving raise to their employees. It's not the state of entire gaming industry, it's only the state of western gaming industries. Eastern dev are alive and thriving, and people STILL buy games
Cause, surprise surprise, they’re making games that people would enjoy playing. It’s amazing what happens when devs focus on making a quality game.
If SBI was hired to "improve pre-existed elements of their games" they are not doing a good job, not even a decent job. They are failing HARD.
And a lot of the companies they worked with aren't doing too well right now. And that's a good thing.
well, 'improved' as in conform to DEI from their perspective -
by wrecking the story and characters. But they don't care about games,
and they hate gamers, win-win, right?

@@heyitsenygma The vsat majority of journlists are completely worthless. They do little more than regurgitate press releases and act as corporate mouthpieces or peddlers of propaganda. There are a small number of journos who do a genuinely good job but they're so rare that if journalism as a whole ceased to exist, the world would be a better place on balance.
They make up an enemy, make up the enemies position. And respond to a group that doesn't exist.
Then compare anyone that disagrees with them with this group they've made up.
People lost these jobs because their co-workers and suppliers and industry media and their own leadership kept picking fights with customers. And that leadership is really at fault. If AAA game dev execs told the suppliers and workers and media to "cut the crap", this would be over within a week or two. My first job was bagging groceries. Soon after I started we had a guy come into the store with an empty steak wrapper and no receipt, complaining that the steaks were bad and he wanted his money back. I was left with the distinct impression that he had fished the wrapper out of a trash can and was scamming the store. The assistant manager gave him his money straight away. When I asked him why, he said "never argue with a customer", because nobody, even long-time, first-name-basis customers, want to come in the store and hear some guy screaming about how us thieves sold him bad meat and won't give him his money back. That is basic business, but the modern games industry thinks that they are somehow above these kinds of basic truths. However, they aren't.
it is all part of their plan. The mission of these activists is to destroy the video game industry. By insulting and alienating the majority of customers (they know we are the majority, death of Concord is proof enough) who are a pillar of the industry, the activist devs are hastening the crash of the video game industry in the west.
Everything a lot of companies have been doing in the last 4 years is so anti business that it has to be purposefully by designed. So im assuming that any company that got swindled into the DEI money from vanguard and black rock during covid are now pawns in their attempt to social engineering the world into basically 1984. Its so incredibly anti business that this only seems like the most practical and logical reason all these companies that mostly don't even live in thr same industries are all doing the same garbage. Its why schools are pushing this crap, they're trying to socially engineer the world.
I think Blackrock and vanguard have close to 50 trillion dollars between them. People say "these companies are losing money!" Idk if they understand what and how much 1 trillion dollars even is, sounds like monopoly money to them when it's like, the value of several nations altogether. Evil will spend that much to fuck the world
What? You dont get receipts in the US?
Exactly they think they're too big to fall
Maybe back then. Today you can come in with the original packaged article that you just bought and a receipt. They'll just say 'You won't sue us over that so F. you.'
Imagine if most music artists didnt actually like music, imagine if film directors and actors didnt enjoy cinema; that's the current state of the video games industry.

- got upset gamers don't play DA: Veilguard
Honestly, let them cry
Edit: For wukong, Urinalists couldn't make it to chapter 2 to find a waifu... which is even worse and more embarrassing
Slight correction. They shunned Wukong cause "no" female characters cause they never made it past Chapter 2.

It's funny how they word it if only a few anti woke activists would make a ruckus, while at the same time they make brutal losses which clearly shows a lot of people and not only a few are tired of their ESG values. In reality it's the modern gamer group that seems to be only a smaller group that also doesn't like to open their wallets and buy the games which are made for them. Know your paying customer.
They are a vocal minority trying to make it out like everyone that doesn't agree with them are the extremists.
keep in mind
all of this happened because ONE person, ONE SINGLE PERSON (chris kindred) could not shut up
no it just accelerated normies waking up.
Let's be real here, anything touched by SBI or DEI isn't a game anymore. It's propaganda. So it's understandable these proppos are not fun. Coz they're not meant to be. They're not games. Stay nonbuynary, fellow gamers. Good games are like good food, you'd know it just from the look and feel of it.
and that is the truth.
"Journos" and DEI corps could just glide silent and graceful into unemployment, but they keep kicking and screaming while doubling down on stupid for our amusement either way it looks like the grift cant sustain itself anymore and thats a good thing

Makes sense.
actions have consequences no pity from me for woke / dei
In 2014 we tried to help fix both the game blog industry and the AAA gaming industry. Both of them rejected our help and decided to keep going full-bore with DEI/ESG. They kept not only hiring people who hated gamers but they also designed their games in a way that actively crapped on the gamers who bought them. Over time, it's come to this. Nobody likes the games now, not even the hardcore progressives who once championed the changes.
No one is ever obliged to pay for slop. That's the lesson these people have yet to learn.
Many are puzzled by the current state of the game industry. In simple terms, it's like food critics evaluating a dish from an artistic angle, completely ignoring whether it actually tastes good.
Oh no, what will I do except play all the other games I have and buy my wishlist clean off of the 1400 games on it?

Developers cook shit up & expect gamers to eat it without question, now they have to swallow their own shit.
I just don’t understand how they can easily turn the blind eye to the fact that none of these games are even selling! You could sit here and argue whatever you want, but if it doesn’t sell, then what exactly are you trying to tell? Bottom line normal people don’t want all this stuff shove in their face and they don’t want these boring unattractive uninspired characters to play as.
their ideology blinds them - Yoda, probably.
Woke doesn't sell, is unpopular and a minority opinion, is counter-narrative.

6:43 changing Mr Freeze to a woman is an odd choice considering how loved he is in certain iterations for being a “toxic male” getting what he deserves - then again in most he’s an undyingly loyal man and it’s destroyed him, which is fairly iconic of the male experience, so that’s probably it.
I thought they wanted us to get used to not owning their games? I mean, I got used to it, it really isn't difficult at all to not want to play games built around activism instead of fun.

Does PC in PC Gamer stand for Politically Correct?
Yes
Funny how companies that make things nobody wants to buy can't afford to keep staff. Maybe they should have stood on quality instead of ideology.
I'm as liberal as they get. I'll hug every damned tree in the forest and fight for the rights of every person, regardless whether I subscribe to their beliefs or not.
But I will NOT spend my money on a video game that is going to preach and nag at me. Not. One. Penny.
Fighting for the rights of all people isn't leftwing. They care a lot more about certain people and not at all about others; the natural conclusion of the Marxist divide-and-conquer strategy of organizing all peoples into "oppressor" and "oppressed." If your innate characteristics put you into the former group, then you're their enemy. They don't actually give a shit about justice, and never did.

They are doubling down to push for the " We need to change mindsets and force better behaviors in gaming and for the gamers". Off course.
The goal being attempting to convince the industry and the public, pretend that the problem is coming from how toxic the gamers culture always was before they arrived and tried to "change it for the better".
Some corporations already faked backing up on DEI and just called it something else but reinforced everything that is in relation to compelled speech and behaviors and intentionally vague interpretations of what is "hate speech" "unwanted behaviors" "discretionary terms", etc.
They instantly made guidelines to be able to control their media, the information around them, etc.
Get ready for this bullshit to take off in 2025, this is gonna be the new gaslight, the new lies attempting to change what the reality always was before them.
They will list all of the events of the last 2 years, all of their controversies and their open display of racism and sexism, of blatant nepotism and discrimination, then turn it around, pretend that they were the victims, that what they did never happened and that it's not happening, that they are made up conspiracies started by "the hateful people" "the anti us" people, that they were only "fighting against the hate that is rampant in the gaming industry".
Then they will call it "toxic gaming culture" or some terms around that and then link it to some "society construct" "the patriarchy", "systemic sexism" etc, then point at the majority of gamers being males.
They already started doing it in fact, look at these gaslight articles that are starting to come out in quantity. They will flood the media with these.
The gamers are gonna become the problem that "we" need to change.
Doesn't matter. Won't work. We'll all happily wait until they're bankrupt or completely irrelevant. They can not win this fight. They have to do the impossible to win (change the hearts and minds of the majority), and for us to win, all we have to do is nothing.

Keep up the fight gamers, we will prevail !
I have a Steam library of 700+ games. The last 500 of which we bought without a single reference to "professional games journalists"
Once I realised they give AAA publishers who advertise with them a guaranteed score boost. It was clear that they had zero integrity.
I don't miss AAA games. And I certainly don't miss "professional reviewers" Would be entirely happy if both groups disappeared forever.
It wouldn't make any difference to me at all. I've not referred to those journalists for reviews - or bought those AAA games full of DEI and microtransactions for years. And game with better games that offer better value supporting passionate small developers.
AAA can end up in the garbage for all I care.
