This is my personal account having gone through Job search with Amir and reaching out to devs in his Discord server, let me tell u its useless. Like u said Sincerity is dead withing the Games industry, HR or recruiters only want to promote their ppl who share their ideology, anything else you wont get a opportunity or even a courtesy call to get u started in the industry. Swen Vincke is also a fraud, He is only taking the moral high ground and sounds based now is only bcoz his Game, Baldur's Gate 3 was a massive success without it, think for yourselves guys he was only given this platform to grandstand and virtue signal when he compromised himself in the making BG3 with DEI in it, he is also complicit to what is happening to the Games Industry. All these so called based allies calling out the Games Industry know whats wrong and how to fix it but all they do is give speeches in public to feel good about themselves and show how much of an ally they are.
It’s also clear shills for modern games only defend it because of political reasons. They care more about their politics being represented than any actual quality
to be fair, in his defense, wizards of the woke coast owns dungeons and dragons and mandated that stuff in the game, they did not have a choice on this matter. I say this as someone who finds the characters in baldurs gate 3 revolting.
I think it may shift from Black Rock to another entity. Iirc, people are waking up to how DEI is only nominally used by firms in the lead up to credit ratings. The core issues is that progressives are heavily entrenched in the games industry, law and International trade.
@@averysadtire6820I’d argue that it has failed because in gen z political leanings are split 50/50 and with gen alpha the woke are already crying about how based they are. They instead created divide between men and women because of how hostile their ideology is to men, most young men are rejecting it. As seen in the 2024 election. Everything about the woke ideology is inherently feminine and their goal has been to feminize everything. But this doesn’t sell well to male dominated audiences. They have been doing this for a decade now and they always flop 90% of the time. They will never succeed because their goals go against human nature Does a “modern audience” exist? Yeah, but they are all on former tumblr people that have no care of triple a products and spend their lives on blue sky all day. They don’t play games, they watch video essay TH-camrs instead make videos on games.
This is what gamers miss when they complain. The modern audience are the kids that are growing with this propaganda, thats whats normal for them & what will they support when they generate income. Its just a !atter of time.
I been saying this for years but we are living in the lamest distopia. here is my hot take, the industry deserve to collapse. the folks who actually care about making good games are long gone. clean house is the only solution. also blink twice if razorfist have abducted you to the film noir dimension.
Honestly, I think even the OGs wouldn't be the same in this day and age and could've succumb to this ideology (if not yet, it's just that you don't hear from them very often)
They were laid off because the executives did a bad job and passed the blame to their workers. The executives got involved in the creative process (look up tonerheads Steve Jobs), failed, tried mass market political appeal that turned out to not be mass market (taking advice from self admitted political woke consultancy firms), failed, mismanaged resources, hedged their bets on literal 400 million dollar 8 year development games while underpaying and overworking their workers. You can easily blame the workers. They did! But failures of this magnitude in business always start with the top. The people who make the money, are not people who make the money. They're rich children with no sense. Do you honestly think the layoffs are because of merit? No. It's because they lost MONEY! You do not understand why these things happen. THAT IS WHY a small indie dev can make a successful game and they can't. They are bad with money and cannot make things! Indie devs HAVE to think and create and be good with money!
During gamer gayte there was a game called "i get this call every day" it was awful bitmap looking game that became known at those circles for banning any pro gg people who bought the game. When reading the guys blogs and social media posts, he said that he got into the industry because he wanted to be like the people in the industry and he was hanging out with them to be like them and be part of the subculture. The dude was a hipster. There was also another game that you were effectively a maid of some fidel castro figure during the revolution and you cleaned the apartment, when the game failed miserably the dev who was a black woman and a white man, unclear who made the game exactly she said "hoorray i am free, i dont have to be part of video games anymore" Seems to me the industry was infiltrated by posers and ideologues and they are still mad that no one has kicked them out yet.
They did applaud for optics. Is how when the political candidate says the biggest lie or the most outrageous bs & people in the audience applauds like they arent engaging with what is said. These guys will roott fora serisl killer as long as they share the ideology.
The whole thing is hilarious including the thread. The thread pretending to see hypocrisy whilst empathy and moral maxing is hilarious. As for the larian studio head's speech its also hilarious considering they bent their knee to hasbro and wizards of the coast and added propaganda to their game last minute hiding this from the early access players. Just so they can keep making their dream game.
yeah when the game released on early access that wasnt there. The woke stuff like body types and pronouns were added near release. The woke stuff appeared in late act 2 and act 3.
I like when developers make games for themselves like Treasure admitted and Shinji Mikami admitted with Godhand. However of course if it's some ultra leftwing guy making a game for himself then there's a big difference in quality.
Lol! So one of the guys that gets paid to fire people is getting an award for... What is essentially leaving a notebook and pen on a table in the brake room with a sign that says "Let us help you, leave your name"
alot of people in the anti woke side are uhinged zios, i dont get it, these people would bomb you if you happen to be born in gaza and they openly say they want to sent all those people to the west so they got more of their land to themselves.
07:20 Hold on a sec, heres where gamers lose me. If Neil is obsessed with androgynous characters & thats the game he wants to make whats the problem? i can understand when gamers are mad when a developer takes an existing franchise and changes it to serve the propaganda. But an original creation? Arent gamers art also?
Because to get to that point he had to literally fail upwards multiple times, drag down actually talented people like amy henning despite being a feminist himself, and constantly generated bad press for the studio he supposedly was proud to be a part of. Nobody would have cared if the guy wasn't an insufferable black hole of suck and just started out making his own IP by himself. Would you support an artist knowing they put nails through peoples feet as a practical joke? Then understand why.
@@DigitalGame18 You are attacking the person here & thats not what i was curious about. Gamers get angry at new IP that put out the message but if thats the directors creative vision, then whats the problem? As for your last question. i think it would be rather naive or stupid to give a definite answer. If said artist its making some of the most original, creative & skillful paintings ever then yes i could totally support him even if we dont share equal political views. Now adressing the nails prank, if the works of art dont encourage peop!e to put nails through peoples feet, then its up to the law to take care of him. His creative works are separate. Doing background checks for all media, good or medicine we consume is not a realistic proposal.
@@Refreshment01 Your first question relates to neil. As for the second, because nothing stops people from criticizing someone whose already proven to have been scummy. As for your non-answer to my question, its equally a non-answer, my has a definitive truth to the answer and and that is N, you would not like to support someone who thinks hammering in nails into peoples feet as a prank because you are not a psycopath, its literally that easy to answer and the hypothetical wasn't even about druckmann which tells me more about your mindset than you apparently are willing to,
@@DigitalGame18 i gave you the answer to the nail question clearly, you just dont like it. Also i never attacked you personally nor made any conclusions of who you are. Why couldnt you extend the same courtesy? If some gamers view videogames as works of art rather than a product like detergent, whats the issue with a director having an specific vision? This is the Harry Potter/BG3 scenario. People supposedly boycotting quality games for political reasons while having their steam accounts reflecting 100s of played hours.
@@Refreshment01 Yeah, who would like it if someone said they honestly couldn't judge whether a person putting nails in peoples feet is someone worth supporting or not. I never attacked you either, but clearly this conversation has hit a tail end. I don't care for your opinion anymore and to be honest I don't you either care either to have your questions answered.

@@arkgaharandan5881 The dude is hyper woke, just 50% less loud than others about it.
@@I-ONLY-BUILD-MECHS-AND-DUSTERS At this point someone needs to throw a pie in his face in public.
This guy's job is literally to poison rival game studios with toxic employees.
I believe this strategy in political parlance is called 'salting' ? 🤔
Just a wholesome tencent executive helping the industry.
"Modern audience doesn't exist"
Yes it does. It's Blackrock. By funding these games and practices, they're effectively the ones buying them.
They're also creating a modern audience as well, kids who don't know any better and think all the propaganda and dysgenic characters are normal.
I think it may shift from Black Rock to another entity. Iirc, people are waking up to how DEI is only nominally used by firms in the lead up to credit ratings. The core issues is that progressives are heavily entrenched in the games industry, law and International trade.

They were laid off because they weren't doing a good job.
Yeah can't say I have any sympathy.
You can tell by the interviewees these people can't even take care of themselves let alone a multi-million dollar IP. Good riddance.
people are like DEVELOPERS GOOD CORPORATIONS BAD, but looking at some of the games made lately i am not so sure about that.
I don't think that's entirely true. You don't think the companies took the time to lay off some actual smart technical ⚪♂s?

Came for Puar stayed for Egad
Came for Tuah stayed for Edge
Came for her to Hawk, stayed for the Tuah.
Hard disagree on Sven being based to any degree, he is a hypocrite that has engaged in exact same shit as every other person in that room.
Devs only applaud when he talks about them. Complete silence when he talks about the players.
“It’s about them, why are they cheering?”
Because he is containment. Because they are thinking “wow those plebs watching are gonna eat this up!”
Every time I see these events I can't help but think of the fart sniffing episode from South Park
It was at this moment when I could not stop making toucan jokes during the entire event.

The applause for Swen is necessary for optics. The sheep have to believe the wolf is really the shepherd.
They applauded because he said no firing devs, thats it, and for no other reason, they did not applaud for any word prior to that.

They're not making games for themselves, but for their god Karlus Marximus.
at least Astro bot got game of the year. Im also happy that silent hill 2 remake didnt win anything so its not all bad.
Nice spreadsheet AKA blacklist
They should make a program like that for White people.
A balding progressive dude with a savior complex wants to help keep failed game developers in the industry. Got it.
