- Hates gaming culture and gamers - joins the gaming industry - makes games unappealing to spite on gamers - doesn't understand why their games don't sell Yeah, they are dumb.
I don't know if I would call it dumb as much as I would label it spiteful or cult-like behaviour. I don't think too many of them actually don't realize the problem, it's that they are so ingrained in their beliefs that they think eventually they will socially reprogram people into agreeing with them. I've argued with many leftist friends (yes I still call them friends even though I am very much on the right), and they seem to have the belief that "you have to force change" or "every aspect of human behaviour stems from socialization".
It’s about power. Their entire ideology revolves around it, it’s not enough to get a message out, it’s not enough to have people listen. They need you to obey, they need you to bow down, they need you to feel bad that you exist. They hate gamers and they want Gamers to hate themselves. They hate you and they ant you to surrender to them.
Taking financial L's in the short term has been accounted for in their planning. They wanna replace us with the younger generation that's more accepting of this nonsense.
Never works, ancient Greek and Roman history has proven it, the ancient Greeks were also aware of it, known to them as 'human nature' and today as the 'human condition' The only difference between them and us is technology and medicine, but personalities and politics? All the same.
It's sloppily and superficially done that instead of engendering empathy, which would be the preferred outcome, it engenders antipathy with all the consequences that come from that.
I worked for them at the Silver Legacy casino in Reno NV and they are awesome to work for, they fed us breakfast lunch and dinner for free and the pay was good 👍
Yup that's what happens when something divisive gets pushed on the general public too hard for too long, it results in the public harboring resentment.
It's more opportunistic nihilism than anything specifically ideological. I was in graduate school with hyper left leaning people but I respect them more than a "creative" executive because the young college student actually believes what they are saying. A Hollywood executive believes in absolutely nothing.
"Usually left-leaning" Translation: "Always full-on hardcore leftists that are competitive about the purity of their activism." As in, makes Bill Clinton look like a complete right-winger. No idea why people recite this pretense that these people are "Just a teensy bit to the left, and only rarely--pretty much a 55/45 live-and-let-live kind of moderate."
Nah even Ubisoft released statements about how their games weren't political like 10 years ago. This is a more recent thing for many AAA studios, maybe it was in response to Trump2016?
@Quintessence4444 GamerGate happened in 2014. These people have been around for a long time. It is just that they have reached a critical mass amount of people infiltrated and have started taking over everything (finical, games, Hollywood, politics, etc)
There are extremists on both sides. The left's extremists are in position to create sheeple. And apparently people just aren't very bright. And now all their policies are considered extreme. It's why they lost and why they need to purge the insanity. It's a bunch of stuff that normal logical people know are wrong. And they just keep pushing it and try to normalize it. And they usually do this by ridiculing people and acting holier than thou. They pushed too far and people are done with it.
I mean it's just that the environment *future* game devs are studying at is almost always left leaning. The universities that develops high level programmers are all in big cities or capitals of states. And most state capitals are left leaning. Just look at the election map of red states and you'll see how most of the big cities almost all vote democrat. Freaking *Austin Texas* almost always votes democrat lol. Not to mention how 90% of people who wants to be 3D artists are already left leaning. The big AAA publishers can't make right leaning or even politically neutral games anymore because they can't find people who are *capable* of making games that doesn't lean to the left(or far left).
Its not about losing money, its about market control. The DEI loan companies are intentionally burning money in an attempt to control the market. They know they will lose money on it, that isn't the goal. They view it as a short term loss for a long term gain. They don't care if it ruined games for many years for consumers, just so long as they can gain control. That isn't going to work out for them, but they are committed and don't want to back down now.
No, they aren't. The smart onesd were overthrown by the people Asmongold supported. You, Asmongold, all chose pictures of strawberries, apples, peaches in a bowl, over a cartoon woman. You chose firing the Milk Drinkers that made good games, instead of getting rid of two problems that caused all the issues and bankrupted companies. Those left, were the ones intellectual enough to abuse false rights they should have never been given, and destroy your media from within.
If its not anime or something made from Japan, China, or Korea (and even there are exceptions) I always have to check if a movie, tv show, game, or other piece of media is woke/dei or not. Its exhausting. Edit: Some people think I'm a parent, i'm not. I'm saying this as someone who wants escapism in my media, not *the message* being shoved down my throat. Still, I do try to check what my niece and nephews are watching.
@LittleLuxia Facts. Theres still some decent new stuff out there like Storybots, but damn, I remember she watched this show once that looked really goofy. I knew something was off so I researched it. Arlo the alligator boy. Woke af. Even the animation style on these shows is weird. She liked the look of this one show that looked like adventure time. It was called Gumball LOL. That was woke too. She can only watch TV shows I approve of first. Or really old cartoons like Looney Tunes or something. She actually like bugs bunny. My wife and I tried to get her into Pokémon, but she is too young. I miss my childhood. Stuff was so simple. My parents could leave me to watch nickelodeon and cartoon network and not worry at all. These days, you can't do that. Maybe that's ok, but damn. A few shows I recommend is Shikamaru, Daniel Tiger, Story Bots, Number Blocks, Lucas the Spider, Storytime book, Corey Carson, Peppa Pig, Bluey, Ben and Holly's little kingdom. There's more for sure and there's definetly still old shows I have had her watch. But a great movie I liked was Inside out 1 and 2. I was shocked how great those movies are for kids. Gave me hope.
@youtubeuser9496 Ratings have nothing to do with kids man. Mature games and movies make it so that kids need parental consent. Parents should know if their kids are playing mortal combat and blowing someone's head off. Thats not in the realm of what we are talking about. We are talking about toddlers right now. 1-7 years old. We have to monitor everything now. Shows used to be safe for kids. I hope that clears it up. We used to have Barney. Now we have trans Barney.
-blackrock funds game studio in exchange to make DEI product -no one buys the game -game studio even more dependant on blackrock -repeat it's like dealing with the devil
The more you avoid em, the more you happily own nothing. They win no matter what we do because the source of Blackrock's ESG-Money is gargantuan. Look into an AI-system called aladdin..
private equity firms yep yep..WEF too i hope to see drastic change in my lifetime but i know the cycle of nothing ever happens is what keeps us from truly achieving any sort of greatness or modest living for a majority of people
I worked in production for 16 years. I've found that all forms of entertainment biz have a huge problem with friends and family hiring. Not just nothing jobs either... Big boss jobs. So you have this situation where you have people put in charge of major multi million dollar projects, who previously probably wouldn't have been able to get a gig doing Amazon delivery.
I'm all for nepotism. The whole hiring process can be extremely stupid (especially now that you have to go through the algorithm before even getting an interview). I am against incompetency. Hiring someone because you like them but not necessarily good for the business is just nothing short of sabotage. It's almost like committing fraud.
@@wanderingbufoonso.... You're contradicting yourself. Hiring family because they are family doesn't mean that they know what the business is. Maybe you just made a typo
@@BearBoulder hes all for nepotism as long as person hired is qualified. Its fine to prefer your kin/friend over stranger for various reason even if stranger might be slightly better at said job in entertainment. Its wrong to hire him for a responsible job that he has no clue how to do it. I dig it tbh. Medicine is another field thats plagued by nepotism to staggering degree. And in healthcare i think no amount of nepotism should be allowed, cooperation with other people in the field isnt as importnant and peoples literal lives are on the line
Blackrock, Vanguard, and Citadel.. These are the Saurons of our time. Full on Dark Lords Edit: Yes, I realize they aren't the only ones, or the top dogs. Sauron was just a lieutenant after all, so who knows who Melkor/Morgoth is in this scenario 🤷♂️
It’s the people making the games. I worked in the industry for only a few months in SF and I left to start a new career quickly as even being moderately right leaning I felt so unwelcome and vilified I felt like I needed to quit. When everyone making your product has blue hair and nose rings you get what you get.
Too bad, but don't pretend this is the norm, because it ain't. Your language being demeaning to "wokeness" here is telling enough of what kind of person you are, and I will assume they were unwelcoming because you're insufferable to be around with rather than your political alignment.
Yeah just google DEI investment funds (blackrock/vanguard backed projects) and look at their total value, them compare to the total value of video game industry. Theres no comparison, the entire gaming industry is worth a speck of sand to the total value of funds held by DEI investment companies
Blackrock funding is worth more to a companies existence than the risk of a game/movie failing off its own merits without the funding. It’s money laundering. But it’s hit a point where the money made isn’t worth destroying the entire company because the fans are boycotting and don’t care about brand loyalty when their favourite brands betray them like this.
nah man, they don't GIVE money, they give BETTER LOAN TERMS according to the DEI score, now there's also a theory that they (those investment firms who push this) do this to buy stocks much cheaper, as they know how divisive those topics are. Tencent is very clearly doing this
They understand that there is more money to be made in ESG investments than there is in actual customers, and have adopted a pump and dump mentality. It's stakeholder economics.
Social engineering is the goal, and now there is a new sheriff in town. That plan has been scrapped, in America at least.. We have a long fight ahead of us in the UK.
What impresses me is that in any other corporate environment, such f ups will end up with an angry board of directors and substantial "changes" in structure to straighten the ship. But it seems like no one in the entertainment industry seems to care that their own employees seem to be hellbent of sabotaging their own productions and throwing hundreds of millions of dollars out the window, so, its either part of an agenda and they are willingly losing money or theres something even sketchier going on.
It is part of an agenda and has been since the very beginning. Games just being 1 part of it, as many probably have realized all the other aspects for a while now (target, budweiser, tv shows, netflix, etc etc etc) People calling this some crazy conspiracy theory are in fact the crazy ones. Because you have to be crazy to consider all these companies, studios, tv production, breweries, retailers, etc... just happened to all start doing the exact same thing roughly 10 years or so ago. And you have to be crazy to ignore the fact that this is openly discussed, published and written about all the time by those who's agenda this is. (in case you have no idea what i mean: just browse to wef website, see what they publish on there and see who sits at the table) And no, this is not a "the jews" comment. This is a upper echelon of society thing combined with governments across the west. Because in case people havent noticed, governments across the west have been pushing this crap for years, with many atrocious (fascist) laws as a result.
The entertainment industry does not exist to make money, you guys really need to learn to accept this, its not about profits. The entertainment industry was created to condition cultural norms and behaviors. Why do you think literally everyone started adopting black american vernacular? Because American music and movies forced it into everything. Its brainwashing. The American entertainment industry has the same goal as North Koreas; they want to direct your attention and behavior. They are 100% successful because no ones noticing all American media is owned almost exclusively by one group of people.
Its the ESG loans. Money that they borrow to keep the company afloat that's contingent on them meeting DEI initiatives. And other "Environmental, Social, and Governance" (Progressive) goals. That short term money influences them more than having a commercially successful game.
I’d argue that ESG goals are super different to dei. In uk/Eu anyway. They focus on controlling compliance to wider legal matters for net zero/waste, local community support etc etc I’m fine with those goals.
@@intothemindshaft how money works has a great video on it. Basically the only reason companies push ESG, DEI, ect. is because they want to create the idea that they are policing themselves so government doesn't regulate them.
@@intothemindshaft Australia too. DEI is open discrimination which is fought against not via US style suing by individuals as laws exist so government steps in to prevent breaches. Yes we have all the right company slogans about trying to increase the number of women in higher positions etc. But they better be able to prove that woman was the best person for the job or they're in deep and they know that. ESG is more about say investing in public transport that uses cleaner energy versus one that doesn't.
His point about trans being turned into a political issue is so spot on. I genuinely feel bad for the trans people that just keep to themselves and dont force their identity down peoples throats, just living life however they feel most comfortable without bothering others. These coporations and activists that try and police people daily just so they can look good in some circles have made life so much more difficult for the very people that they are "fighting" for.
The fun part is when stockholders realize the companies violate their fiduciary responsibility with their DIE crap, and sue the living crap out of them.
@@bannedmann4469 corporations are legally required to make money for the shareholders if the company purposely takes a path that loses money they can sue the CEO and others withen the company to recoup those loses
@@bannedmann4469 It's simple. Companies are legally required to maximize profits for shareholders. If they're found to have not done this, they can be taken to court for violating their legal responsibility.
@bannedmann4469 here's one example August 2023, Target Corporation faced a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed by investor Brian Craig Case is moving forward, no updates. People have to sue and it does happen. It's huge that a judge allowed this to proceed
Concord is a perfect example as to why this happens. CEO is conned by a group of "talented individuals" who don't know how to make games. They are hired because of their beliefs, but the CEO does not due their due diligence to see if the team is actually talented. The team proceeds to get paid for their "talent" and nothing to show for. Upper management needs to have people who can identify talent but ALSO identify who is not talanted
And that person would set up a pay to get picked set up. So only the big money cash grab will be made or already proven IPs. You know remastered and remake trash.
The problem is that the hiring people for these companies share those ideologies, and the dumbass clown world laws prevent you from firing someone that sucks because they're part of a protected class and its now a risk to get rid of them.
The problem is that anyone who knows how to make games is no longer in that company, because the suits chased them out. So they hire some randoms that are their new "talent", making sure that they fit their ESG grant guidelines. And then you get these games. Lol
CEO will still get his money anyway. To many times i meet CEOs that know about such problems in personel in advance but ignore it because they would need to do something and be on visible stage. And deal with HR and PR.
Concord's existence was because Herman Houst (head of Gurella Games).convinced Sony to buy the studio working on the game for $200 million and pitched to Sony as their "Star Wars" like franchise while Jim Ryan was already on a spending spree buying Bungie for 3.6 billion dollars for his future live service plans. Turns out Concord was in a terrible state in it's last year of development so Sony had to spend an additional $200 million commissioning other studios to help bring it to its finalized state. Even before that, the writing was already on the wall and Jim Ryan "retired" and now Herman is their new CEO.
It was super easy to make this call so late in production because they designed those scenes to be removed for Chinese markets anyways. The scenes will end up in the special features section, and just like in Dragon Age Veilguard, they will have been another fucking lecture.
Not even the higher-ups are safe. Look what happened to EVERY SINGLE AAA game studio over the past decade. ALL the dudes who built those companies and started those franchises got me too'd and their positions were taken away, even though they were the OWNERS and FOUNDERS
There's so much money in the world right now that they don't need simple people money. Those millions can come from other parties which we don't know about and they don't give a damn about money made. The only thing they need is influence over peoples' thoughts and guiding them to a certain path.
Its not about the money once you get to the top, its about control. For example, if you liquidate all of BlackRock's USD and give it out to everyone, within a few years all that money would make it back to their hands. How? They own and control our infrastructure, our media, our consumer driven market. Its about the control to them, not the money.
That is exactly the purpose behind pushing the DEI and ESG stuff... the motive of the people pulling the strings behind the curtain. It's not about the money... not directly. It's about p0w3r... because that's even more important to those people, and it can ALSO guarantee them more $... as well as c0ntr0l.
The largest studios and publishers are too big and bulky for their own good. Too many arms to control, too slow to respond to change - every corporation has a political system of their own.
Once you have more administrative staff than you have people working on the product you're too big to make good stuff any more. Bureaucracy stifles innovation.
I think the other part of the problem is the gaming media gaslight, give high scores to anything DEI, and will pretend literally anything is the reason that games flop other than the DEI stuff. They will come up with endless excuses. So on top of large studios already being slow and clueless to respond, the message is being even further muddied by the media being controlled by the same people pushing this stuff. Essentially they're all in an echo chamber of their own making, so the truth never gets through.
@@sumerianbotfarm True, it's why Sony of Japan doesn't try to actually control everything and just let the different branches like SMEJ do their thing, and SMEJ in turn lets Aniplex do their thing and then Aniplex lets the animation studios and game studios they control do their thing and everyone is happy. Aniplex produces most good anime people like, A-1 Pictures and Cloverworks, that are under Aniplex, are highly praised anime studios in the industry and Lasenge, under Aniplex, makes the FGO gacha game. It's really simple, let the people making the things make the things and you just do what you have to do, essentially nothing except make sure they have money to do the things they need to do in order to make more money. Can't say the same for Sony of America though.
Not really, it's a loan shark situation where the money they give is basically meant to bankrupt the company slowly over time through the requirements attached to it. They know the people they loan the money out to won't be able to pay it back.
It's not even just the pushing of agendas, which it clearly would've been, it's also just the fact that there's no reason for us to know a child character's sexuality or gender identity.. It's not important to the plot or the movie at large at all, there's zero reason for anything like that to be in a kids movie, period. 🤷🏼♂️
Agreed. It’s like having one of the kids in The Sandlot randomly bring up that he’s gay. It’s totally irrelevant to the story and inappropriate for a kids movie.
The first and most important question is: Why should I care for a minor's sexuality in the first place...? Seriously, when did it become something that must be pondered??
@@Another_El_User Bro they're obsessed with it. My brother in law is an adult with no children who volunteers his time to chaperone the LGBT club at a high school. On what planet is it not a huge red flag for an adult to interact with a minor on the basis of their sexuality?
@Quintessence4444 they're incinerating billions for it, there's a lot of conspiracies that say they can explain it but I don't have any actual answer as to why they're pushing ESG so hard
@Quintessence4444 The money is functionally infinite. This is cultural warfare being waged by the people who also own British Petroleum, every major shipping company, every major supermarket chain etc etc.
Money used to dictate everything, but then ideologues got into these companies and then it was nothing else other than "the message". Companies are finally starting to figure this out and cleanse themselves.
Oh no, money still means everything to most, it's just that the people with the most have effectively bought you and your country and now you play by their rules because it was really fucking stupid to put profits above everything else.
Once again, the formula: - Reveal crappy product - It gets fan backlash - Insult the fans - “Don’t like it don’t buy it” - Watch as the product flops - Blame fans for game not selling - Studio Closes This is The Way 🙂↕️
The crows in Dumbo were my favorite characters. "When I See an Elephant Fly" is one of my favorite Disney songs, and the only part of that movie that doesn't bore me to death
The Aristocats was one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid, and yet the terminally online think its racist. As an Asian-American I wasn't offended by the Asian cat, in fact I thought he was cool! That movie really needs more love.
I say this as a black man myself. I'd take one of those old "racist" cartoons like Jungle Jitters over any modern-day "woke" pro-black crap any day of the week. At least Jungle Jitters is entertaining and it doesn't talk down to you or waste your time.
@Anthonybrother same company makes a communist version. Literally reused assets. And venture capitalist is just and idle farmer with a capitalism skin.
@ThePolarpop It's an art style shows like Gravity Falls and Star Butterfly used a few years ago and many other shows adopted it. It looks a lot like the style Pixar is using now
I was on the fence on the whole marriage thing . But once I saw the slope starting to slip, I knew it was a bad idea. Like you said, look where it let us. I should've listened to my more conservatives leaning friends and teachers (I went to a Catholic high school - both in name and practice).
Where do I even start with how ignorant this is? Do you think people can truly be converted to being gay or trans? You feeling like we choose to be endlessly shat on by the dumber fraction of our population for fun?? It doesn’t make sense, logically. Reading shit like this makes me question our entire schooling system.
Of course the studios want money, but they already got it from Larry, so they don't care about delivering a product that people would buy, because the game was already bought
Wrong.. This all stems from ESG funding, which is headed up by China, who have a vested interest in destabilizing The West. You guys have NO idea what the hell is actually going on, you are stuck in the 1940's mindset.. Follow the money, it is not difficult.
Because the studio already got paid,it was originally irrelevant if the product made a profit. The problem became when the same thing started happening over and over and over again.
@@stinkfinga49182000-2013/14ish. Western gaming industry has the biggest market share for PC and Xbox. Asian gaming is only big when all you own is Playstation console and Nintendo. And even then western industry still has some share in the ps or nintendo market
It's about changing culture and capturing the new upcoming young gamers that know nothing but DEI. You need to talk to Kirsche, this is temp PR, nothing is changing.
Trump said he is investigating everyone pushing this shit at the federal level. But sure, that has nothing to do with it.. Pure coincidence in timing..
Yea a lot of social engineering going on to try and influence younger ppl at schools etc. Us boomers in 30s see thro bs of changing our characters. Younger don't know or get new ones. It's a way to divide society.
From what I've seen more younger kids who've had this forced on them from primary school on are sick of it in larger nunbers than support it. Millenials started all this, assisted by the far left do gooders in academia et al who always existed. They've already started pushing back. This will not go how the woke mob thought.
The problem is that ''they'' are rooted very deep in the enterteinment industry, i think this will be a generation problem. We are seeing the first signs of the ''healing'' process, in my opinion it will take 10 years(minimum) to see a big change. It will cnage for sure but will never go away.
0:40 the time lines of games are longer than movies. The people that made those games won't turn ship because they are hoping they are special and won't be the same as all the others sinking around them. Once the game bombs, if ownership isn't idealogical, than its used to clean house. If ownership is idealogical, than the company goes down inflames, being wrong and strong
It's an honest question at this point. Like the Intergalactic trailer. How in the world, with all the news lately, do they put that trailer out? How is it possible to be that tone deaf? Arent some of these companies publicly traded? Why arent shareholders starting to speak up?
In case you haven’t noticed, the stockholders are the ones promoting this stuff. Like Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street. They are so rich, they no longer care about money. They just want to push a message.
The crazy part in this case Is that the actress is good looking irl. They just keep pushing it if the REALLY want to be diverse they should have tyr option to pick. Like cyberpunk or assassins creed
Of course! Why do you think there's been such a push for hiring and promoting based on immutable characteristics? It's so that people who are bad at what they do can terrorize their employers into keeping them on board.
Most of the answer comes from the fact that Modern triple A games take soo many years to make despite how garbage it is that it can't catch up to the change in public sentiment on what's happened with the total rejection of DEI, so while it looks completely obvious they are not able to avoid the iceberg and sink the ship. It will eventually correct itself, but boy are companies going to pay for it(like Ubisoft).
@lexsamreeth8724 pretty much, which is funny because these companies are barely making profit on the games that do succeed with due to how bloated the costs are on them anyway.
I've come to rationalize that it's because most of these games and movies have been in development for the last five years so we're getting hit with a wave of everything that has been worked on, but I doubt the next 5 years they are going to be working on these type of projects.
Agree 100%. However, we will be getting new crappy games in the next 5 year with a different ideology since the root cause which is business guys out of touch with their industry are still on charge.
Undoubtedly these game devs were really excited to get their ideology into the spotlight though, they will still push to continue it after it's proven time and time again to be unprofitable.
Good point. We have to remember a lot of this stuff probably suffers from the Concord effect if you want to call it that - its been conceptualized years ago, takes even longer to even make and release, and they’re operating under the thought process of that period of time. By the time it comes out, the trends, social landscape, and more change more than people think, so it can come off as dated.
Part of the issue I feel is the fact that companies are used to being able to dictate demand to the customers. They've had great success doing this since the early 2000s with the rise of the PS2/GameCube/Xbox generation. Movies did the same as they expanded their marketing budget for the big summer blockbusters. They were even able to turn late December into another holiday movie. It worked fairly well through the 2010s as well with them able to persuade their player base that PC wasn't a gaming platform and was a hive of piracy. Marvel was able to shoehorn in lesser known superheroes between bigger releases to get people out to see movies. But around the late PS4/Switch/Xbox Whatever generation, you started to see that trend shift with marketing no longer able to dictate demand and the cost to acquire the same customer base as before increase exponentially. Marketing for many movies increased as well, but not as many people turned out unless you spent 50 million to advertise a movie. A lot of games and brands that attempted genre shifts in the last 10 years to appeal to a larger audience and ended up just losing their existing fan base. You especially see this in the Japanese video games that have attempted to pivot to an international audience from Square Enix to Nihon Falcom.
Oh 100% this. I will add this was also do the rise of digital gaming. After all we don't need to all wait for the big tent pole game. When 200 games are dumped onto steam a day. Your bound to find one you like. And that number grows fast each year. We were so segmented into are own small groups the idea of us all play 1 new game is rare.
Conservatives Don't like trans? Huh? Since when? I thought it was more about the forced and compelled speech they disagreed with? Live your life but don't force me to follow along as well type thing Cali actually passed a law a while ago that it can't be discriminated against or fired from a job for political beliefs.
I agree, I think many or most conservatives are fine with trans people; they just disagree with a lot of things that were / are being offered to kids and with compelled speech. I’m an independent in a red state, and people are pretty chill about it. My dad is a pretty traditional old Southern dude. His response to seeing that someone I grew up with had transitioned was, “she needs her some bangs” Pretty mild, and he’d say it about anyone lol
Make a good game and make profit is how it was in the past. Nowadays it's like this: 1)Investors approve a creation of a game 2)There's a multi-million budget for the game 3)It's not enough because everyone either squanders money left and right or is outright stealing it 4)Good people at E S G who like to "force behaviours" offer to finance the project 5)There's a catch - if you want their cash you need to push their ideas 6)"Ah what the hell, money doesn't smell" - says the CEO and approves the partnership and agenda pushing 7)Game is almost made and it's horrendous 8)Marketing team, CEO and developers are aware that they made a flop 9)They push out an ad campaign that flaunts the rainbows and other "bundle-of-sticks"-ry. 10)People voice their concerns 11)"HAHA GOTCHA!" says the head of the marketing team and spins a narrative about the game being hated by all the "bad people" 12)Game gets released and provides 0 profit 13)Developers get fired and cry about it 14)CEOs get to jump with the golden parachute because they actually earned money out of that whole ordeal thanks to partnership with E S G 15)Investors who were aware of the plan and traded behind the scenes with flop in mind are happy 16)Your favourite TH-camr makes a video about the game being a horrible flop and promises you that things are changing and it'll get better 17)There are actually people on Reddit who still like the game and happily pay a full price for it 18)Casual gamers who can't tell piss from champagne ask for seconds 19)You are now considered a wrong thinker for disliking a shoddy product 20)There are dozens of such projects in the works that were approved and most AAA games for next several years will be made using same formula They don't need to make products to get cash anymore. At this point elites have so much money they don't even really need YOU to pay for the product. You'll give them cash anyway, via taxes and other spendings, because people financing your entertainment are also financing your politicians.
I've said this comment before, but it bears repeating. There is more money in making woke propaganda than there is selling video games, and it is undeniably easier. We've fortunately been provided with several useful case studios on this point. Case 1: Dustborn. An absolute miserable flop of a game. Resulted in less than 50,000 dollars worth of sales. On a production budget of 1.5 million, we'd look at that and go "Wow, a 99% loss, that's brutal, bet they won't make that mistake again!" But... There's another side. Remember that 1.5 million dollar budget? The company that produced Dustborn was given 2 million dollars in grants from left-leaning organizations/governments. So Dustborn ended up with a 33% profit margin before it even hit the digital shelves. Selling any copies of the game at that point was just a cherry on top. Case 2: Disney Star Wars. We've seen all the flops. They're too numerous to repeat for a TH-cam comment. It has cost them billions of dollars to purchase that IP, and billions more to produce the resulting flops. So what gives? How can Bob Iger say "profits aren't important, the message is" and their stock price doesn't crater? Because of investment firms like Blackrock. Blackrock has provided more investment into Disney than their entire revenue from Star Wars. They've invested at least 13 billion dollars into Disney, eclipsing the estimated 10 billion dollars that Star Wars has provided in revenue. Once you add in the 4 billion dollar price tag, plus the estimated 3 billion in production costs, Star Wars has (rough estimate) provided Disney with about 3 billion dollars. Case 3: Concord. Many people were puzzled as to why Sony would purchase a struggling, weak project like Concord. After all, the costs were sky high, the hype was virtually zero, there was no upside. Well, guess who owns a massive stake in Sony? Our old friends Blackrock. Coincidentally, after the purchase of Firewalk Studios and the resulting flop of Concord, Blackrock increased their investments in Sony by about 13%. Just about enough to cover the production costs of Concord.
I was talking to someone that works in games, and he mentioned the leadership is afraid of the activist employees, so they pretty much bend the knee whenever they get pushback. They'd rather have expensive failures then upset the activist employees.
If they lack the stones to do their jobs, their overlords and there's always more overlords will boot them. You can't have bosses afraid to do what they're paid the big bucks for.
I don't think there's anything wrong with having gay representation in kids media, I myself have wanted that for as long as I can remember; and with all this complaining about LGBT in kids media, you'd think I'd be on the other side. But frankly, to date; I haven't seen any gay rep that's been done well, or done in a non-insulting way. And so far, all it's done is hurt our cause. And as for Trans being in kids media, I fully agree that it shouldn't be. For those curious as to what I would consider good representation, I'll use some poplar media as an example. Let's see... Let's use Gon and Killua from Hunter X Hunter as our example, change basically nothing; at all. Maybe they are a little more touchy-feely with each other, maybe they kiss a few times; maybe they simply peck each other a lot, or hold hands. And maybe they say I love you, or I like you. And maybe *MAYBE* the emotional scenes in the show are a *little* bit more emotional, because; you know, love. But aside from that, change; *absolutely* nothing. Don't make them talk weird, don't make them look weird; just, don't. Just keep them, and the show; the same. Now *that* would be good representation, but does Disney; or any other media really do that? No, they don't. They're all some, f^^^ing caricature of flaming queers! And your average Walmart American, *isn't* going to accept a flaming queer. A couple of gay people, maybe; but a flaming queer?! Even *I* don't particularly care for flaming queers, *and I'm freaking gay!* May hurt some to hear, but it's the honest truth. We either need a break, or they need to start making good media again. I'd prefer they go down the good media route, because that benefits us all; but unfortunately, I don't see that happening any time soon.
There is an easy rule in writing... "If you can cut something out from a story and nothing changes, then it shouldnt be in there in the first place." And stuff like "kill your darlings" (remove a character that isnt needed, even if they are well developed) are some of the hardest things that anyone has to learn that cares even in the slightest about writing. ;D
12:04 The issue with that is not much in school actually prepares you for the real world and the most prominent is probably timekeeping and scheduling, so if thats to be on the cards theres a huge list of things way higher in priority we also need to start teaching
It is about money though. Games cost a ludicrous amount of money. The cheapest money you can get comes from ESG that comes with its DEI checklist. Game is funded and gets made. The sales don't matter as much as the funding money.
5:20 Nobody changed their minds, Disney lost control of the narrative bc of the popular vote, now if they call audience bigots it’s a fact that it’s more than half the country
4:33 Asmonbald, it was a joke. The joke is that they don't eat pork and it's the story of the three little pigs. The wolf is in disguise. It took literally 40 years for someone to pretend to take offense.
@@nobody8717 Because it was 1933 and there were none of them in America and the last time America interacted with them was literally over a century ago. That's like asking why the wolf wasn't disguised as a Jain; the answer being no one would get the reference and therefore joke.
The problem with how these companies push social issues is that they fail to make relatable characters. If you look at shows from decades ago that featured black people at the forefront, some of the most popular and well liked ones "The Jeffersons, Cosby Show, Fresh Prince of Bel Air" had great characters you can relate to. They were not just defined as a label "black". They were characters who happened to be black. It was just one of many pieces that make up that character. In "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" most people can relate to Will Smith as being a troubled youth trying to find his way in life. The one episode that talks about Will's dad abandoning him and how Uncle Phil fills in that gap was very well received by the viewers. So much of modern media just focuses on the labels and in so doing are actually more bigoted for it. The characters end up being a walking stereotype with all focus on that one label and very rarely is it relatable to the general audience. The poorly written plot is also forced to fit around this one issue. It's not like all content that deals with social issues is poorly received. One of the more popular comedians "Bill Burr" brings up social issues and more people agree with his way of covering those issues because of how they are tied into a relatable story.
When multiple of these massive greedy companies are willing to burn hundreds of millions and keep churning out the same garbage, there comes a point where any rational person who thinks for themselves has to ask if there are any hidden motives or agenda at play. Keep in mind that pretty much the same exact situation is happening in both TV series and movies. Even people who barely use the internet are starting to see it's very strange.
imo publishers and studios will learn and will change, just not overnight people need to keep in mind that these games get developed for like 5-8 years, games releasing today were already planned, budgeted and greenlit 5-8 years ago, generally it's a bad idea to make big changes late in development, but we could see them half way through so... if last year was the turning point of when they start to understand, we won't actually see the result till next year or the year after
Like with everything else here is how it should be. "Hey I'm trans"....cool moving on. "Hey i'm African American"...cool moving on. "Hey i'm a green skin alien"...cool moving on. DEI should be thought about but not forced down our throats. When done right, you don't even notice it. It should appear natural. However currently in Media/Games its being forced, its become the central pillar instead of story and gameplay.
Theyre jews. Only reason you don't say it is because you're scared of them. There is no woke religion, just the same people of the same group doing the same things theyre always caught doing before getting exiled or persecuted en masse.
I work in game sales. TLDR: It was profitable for a while and still is in some cases because they get money from shareholders and investments, rather than sales. DEI guarantees profit regardless of box sales.
@Coconut-219 I agree but they claim that they're not all into pdf file stuff. Out of common courtesy I'm giving them the benefit of the doubt that they're not all PDF files. The way I see it with these people is, let's take me for example. I'm into Batman and the Joker in particular. It's just something I've always liked but when I meet people it's not the first thing I tell them about myself and my whole life is not based around being the Joker and wearing Joker stuff and covering my car and my computer and my clothing in Joker stuff. It's just something I like and something that I'm into and I don't need everyone else to like the Joker for me to be happy liking the Joker. I'm fine liking it by myself and not telling everyone about it. Why can't they do this? Just exist and shut up. Lol

Crazy how things just keep getting worse and you keep thinking they're just dumb billionaires.
Yeah this is gamer cultural appropriation
They are subversive elements who want to destroy the industry, nay, the entire nation.
They aren't dumb, they're malicious.
I don't know if I would call it dumb as much as I would label it spiteful or cult-like behaviour. I don't think too many of them actually don't realize the problem, it's that they are so ingrained in their beliefs that they think eventually they will socially reprogram people into agreeing with them. I've argued with many leftist friends (yes I still call them friends even though I am very much on the right), and they seem to have the belief that "you have to force change" or "every aspect of human behaviour stems from socialization".
They are they to push their ideas on to them to change them, they are poison
They hate gamers yet want gamers to buy their games, it's ludicrous lunacy.
They hate the male au--tists specifically, and are trying to shove them out of the gaming space.
It worked for over half a Decade though.
It’s about power. Their entire ideology revolves around it, it’s not enough to get a message out, it’s not enough to have people listen. They need you to obey, they need you to bow down, they need you to feel bad that you exist. They hate gamers and they want Gamers to hate themselves. They hate you and they ant you to surrender to them.
The ruling class HATES you, period!
@CompassRoseGaming The fact that we can't even say what we are now on YT without the word getting deleted says it all tbh.

Good.
"They're always left leaning" lol true.
not even leaning lmao. Straight up perpendicular
It's more opportunistic nihilism than anything specifically ideological. I was in graduate school with hyper left leaning people but I respect them more than a "creative" executive because the young college student actually believes what they are saying. A Hollywood executive believes in absolutely nothing.
Exactly, when was the last game pushing right leaning views? I’ve never heard a normal person say “uh this game is too conservative.”
Any institution or organization that is not explicitly right wing will drift left over time.
Kingdom come might be the only none left leaning game @@jbrown7063
"Usually left-leaning" Translation: "Always full-on hardcore leftists that are competitive about the purity of their activism." As in, makes Bill Clinton look like a complete right-winger. No idea why people recite this pretense that these people are "Just a teensy bit to the left, and only rarely--pretty much a 55/45 live-and-let-live kind of moderate."
because if they admitted that part, people would realise half those evil evil neocons arent even truly rightwing, but what used to be centristic.
Nah even Ubisoft released statements about how their games weren't political like 10 years ago. This is a more recent thing for many AAA studios, maybe it was in response to Trump2016?
@Quintessence4444 GamerGate happened in 2014. These people have been around for a long time. It is just that they have reached a critical mass amount of people infiltrated and have started taking over everything (finical, games, Hollywood, politics, etc)
There are extremists on both sides. The left's extremists are in position to create sheeple. And apparently people just aren't very bright. And now all their policies are considered extreme. It's why they lost and why they need to purge the insanity. It's a bunch of stuff that normal logical people know are wrong. And they just keep pushing it and try to normalize it. And they usually do this by ridiculing people and acting holier than thou. They pushed too far and people are done with it.
I mean it's just that the environment *future* game devs are studying at is almost always left leaning. The universities that develops high level programmers are all in big cities or capitals of states. And most state capitals are left leaning. Just look at the election map of red states and you'll see how most of the big cities almost all vote democrat. Freaking *Austin Texas* almost always votes democrat lol. Not to mention how 90% of people who wants to be 3D artists are already left leaning.
The big AAA publishers can't make right leaning or even politically neutral games anymore because they can't find people who are *capable* of making games that doesn't lean to the left(or far left).
Short answer: yes.
Long answer: yes and yes.
Yes squared
Its not about losing money, its about market control. The DEI loan companies are intentionally burning money in an attempt to control the market. They know they will lose money on it, that isn't the goal.
They view it as a short term loss for a long term gain. They don't care if it ruined games for many years for consumers, just so long as they can gain control. That isn't going to work out for them, but they are committed and don't want to back down now.
Yeeeeeeeeeees
Blame DEI loans from blackrock and vanguard who want market control and will gladly ruin games for years to try and get it.
No, they aren't. The smart onesd were overthrown by the people Asmongold supported.
You, Asmongold, all chose pictures of strawberries, apples, peaches in a bowl, over a cartoon woman.
You chose firing the Milk Drinkers that made good games, instead of getting rid of two problems that caused all the issues and bankrupted companies. Those left, were the ones intellectual enough to abuse false rights they should have never been given, and destroy your media from within.
Parents cant even let their kids watch cartoons anymore without research, or watching it first. This stuff is crazy bruh.
That's the worse, because parents are also adults who have so much going on in their lives and sometimes what you described doesn't happen.
If its not anime or something made from Japan, China, or Korea (and even there are exceptions) I always have to check if a movie, tv show, game, or other piece of media is woke/dei or not. Its exhausting.
Edit: Some people think I'm a parent, i'm not. I'm saying this as someone who wants escapism in my media, not *the message* being shoved down my throat. Still, I do try to check what my niece and nephews are watching.
@LittleLuxia Facts. Theres still some decent new stuff out there like Storybots, but damn, I remember she watched this show once that looked really goofy. I knew something was off so I researched it. Arlo the alligator boy. Woke af. Even the animation style on these shows is weird. She liked the look of this one show that looked like adventure time. It was called Gumball LOL. That was woke too. She can only watch TV shows I approve of first. Or really old cartoons like Looney Tunes or something. She actually like bugs bunny. My wife and I tried to get her into Pokémon, but she is too young. I miss my childhood. Stuff was so simple. My parents could leave me to watch nickelodeon and cartoon network and not worry at all. These days, you can't do that. Maybe that's ok, but damn. A few shows I recommend is Shikamaru, Daniel Tiger, Story Bots, Number Blocks, Lucas the Spider, Storytime book, Corey Carson, Peppa Pig, Bluey, Ben and Holly's little kingdom. There's more for sure and there's definetly still old shows I have had her watch. But a great movie I liked was Inside out 1 and 2. I was shocked how great those movies are for kids. Gave me hope.
Weren't parents always supposed to do this with films and games which is why there are ratings?
@youtubeuser9496 Ratings have nothing to do with kids man. Mature games and movies make it so that kids need parental consent. Parents should know if their kids are playing mortal combat and blowing someone's head off. Thats not in the realm of what we are talking about. We are talking about toddlers right now. 1-7 years old. We have to monitor everything now. Shows used to be safe for kids. I hope that clears it up. We used to have Barney. Now we have trans Barney.

I worked in production for 16 years. I've found that all forms of entertainment biz have a huge problem with friends and family hiring. Not just nothing jobs either... Big boss jobs. So you have this situation where you have people put in charge of major multi million dollar projects, who previously probably wouldn't have been able to get a gig doing Amazon delivery.
Very important information, liberals hiring liberals!
Well they have no values outside of aggregating power so why wouldn't they be nepotistic?
I'm all for nepotism. The whole hiring process can be extremely stupid (especially now that you have to go through the algorithm before even getting an interview). I am against incompetency. Hiring someone because you like them but not necessarily good for the business is just nothing short of sabotage. It's almost like committing fraud.
@@wanderingbufoonso.... You're contradicting yourself. Hiring family because they are family doesn't mean that they know what the business is. Maybe you just made a typo
@@BearBoulder hes all for nepotism as long as person hired is qualified. Its fine to prefer your kin/friend over stranger for various reason even if stranger might be slightly better at said job in entertainment. Its wrong to hire him for a responsible job that he has no clue how to do it.

Blackrock, Vanguard, and Citadel.. These are the Saurons of our time. Full on Dark Lords

The left wing didn't create the stock market or investment firms and hedge funds that are destroying the world.
It’s the people making the games. I worked in the industry for only a few months in SF and I left to start a new career quickly as even being moderately right leaning I felt so unwelcome and vilified I felt like I needed to quit. When everyone making your product has blue hair and nose rings you get what you get.
Too bad, but don't pretend this is the norm, because it ain't.
Your language being demeaning to "wokeness" here is telling enough of what kind of person you are, and I will assume they were unwelcoming because you're insufferable to be around with rather than your political alignment.

Precisely. It's stakeholder economics. ESG is more profitable than making good games
Yeah just google DEI investment funds (blackrock/vanguard backed projects) and look at their total value, them compare to the total value of video game industry. Theres no comparison, the entire gaming industry is worth a speck of sand to the total value of funds held by DEI investment companies
Blackrock funding is worth more to a companies existence than the risk of a game/movie failing off its own merits without the funding.
It’s money laundering.
But it’s hit a point where the money made isn’t worth destroying the entire company because the fans are boycotting and don’t care about brand loyalty when their favourite brands betray them like this.
The Profit Horizon.
Yes but why did they remove it in this case? Because Blackrock doesn't fund you all the way and they're losing their customer base.
@@afmj57 Because this was too far even for Disney? They still have limits you know.
They're willing to take those losses. Anything to secure a cultural victory.
nah man, they don't GIVE money, they give BETTER LOAN TERMS according to the DEI score, now there's also a theory that they (those investment firms who push this) do this to buy stocks much cheaper, as they know how divisive those topics are.
Tencent is very clearly doing this
That's because profit isn't the end game anymore.
well since the mid 2000s it's became that currency is not longer the currency of the realm
They understand that there is more money to be made in ESG investments than there is in actual customers, and have adopted a pump and dump mentality. It's stakeholder economics.
It never was. ((They)) have unlimited money supply through banks, they dont care about money
Social engineering is the goal, and now there is a new sheriff in town.
That plan has been scrapped, in America at least..
We have a long fight ahead of us in the UK.

Its now bankruptcy 😂😂
What impresses me is that in any other corporate environment, such f ups will end up with an angry board of directors and substantial "changes" in structure to straighten the ship.
But it seems like no one in the entertainment industry seems to care that their own employees seem to be hellbent of sabotaging their own productions and throwing hundreds of millions of dollars out the window, so, its either part of an agenda and they are willingly losing money or theres something even sketchier going on.
We should be careful about assigning malice to incompetence.
It is part of an agenda and has been since the very beginning.
Games just being 1 part of it, as many probably have realized all the other aspects for a while now (target, budweiser, tv shows, netflix, etc etc etc)
People calling this some crazy conspiracy theory are in fact the crazy ones.
Because you have to be crazy to consider all these companies, studios, tv production, breweries, retailers, etc... just happened to all start doing the exact same thing roughly 10 years or so ago.
And you have to be crazy to ignore the fact that this is openly discussed, published and written about all the time by those who's agenda this is.

Because in case people havent noticed, governments across the west have been pushing this crap for years, with many atrocious (fascist) laws as a result.
The entertainment industry does not exist to make money, you guys really need to learn to accept this, its not about profits. The entertainment industry was created to condition cultural norms and behaviors. Why do you think literally everyone started adopting black american vernacular? Because American music and movies forced it into everything.
Its brainwashing. The American entertainment industry has the same goal as North Koreas; they want to direct your attention and behavior. They are 100% successful because no ones noticing all American media is owned almost exclusively by one group of people.

Its the ESG loans.
Money that they borrow to keep the company afloat that's contingent on them meeting DEI initiatives. And other "Environmental, Social, and Governance" (Progressive) goals.
That short term money influences them more than having a commercially successful game.
I’d argue that ESG goals are super different to dei. In uk/Eu anyway. They focus on controlling compliance to wider legal matters for net zero/waste, local community support etc etc
I’m fine with those goals.
@@intothemindshaft how money works has a great video on it. Basically the only reason companies push ESG, DEI, ect. is because they want to create the idea that they are policing themselves so government doesn't regulate them.
They are going to regret it when they don't make enough to pay off the loans.
@@intothemindshaft Australia too. DEI is open discrimination which is fought against not via US style suing by individuals as laws exist so government steps in to prevent breaches. Yes we have all the right company slogans about trying to increase the number of women in higher positions etc. But they better be able to prove that woman was the best person for the job or they're in deep and they know that. ESG is more about say investing in public transport that uses cleaner energy versus one that doesn't.
@@intothemindshaftNo, they aren't. DEI is very much part of ESG in Europe (just not called DEI but it's the same thing in a different coat of paint).
His point about trans being turned into a political issue is so spot on. I genuinely feel bad for the trans people that just keep to themselves and dont force their identity down peoples throats, just living life however they feel most comfortable without bothering others. These coporations and activists that try and police people daily just so they can look good in some circles have made life so much more difficult for the very people that they are "fighting" for.

@@bannedmann4469 corporations are legally required to make money for the shareholders if the company purposely takes a path that loses money they can sue the CEO and others withen the company to recoup those loses

@@bannedmann4469 It's simple. Companies are legally required to maximize profits for shareholders. If they're found to have not done this, they can be taken to court for violating their legal responsibility.
@bannedmann4469 here's one example
August 2023, Target Corporation faced a shareholder derivative lawsuit filed by investor Brian Craig
Case is moving forward, no updates.
People have to sue and it does happen. It's huge that a judge allowed this to proceed
Concord is a perfect example as to why this happens. CEO is conned by a group of "talented individuals" who don't know how to make games. They are hired because of their beliefs, but the CEO does not due their due diligence to see if the team is actually talented. The team proceeds to get paid for their "talent" and nothing to show for. Upper management needs to have people who can identify talent but ALSO identify who is not talanted
And that person would set up a pay to get picked set up. So only the big money cash grab will be made or already proven IPs. You know remastered and remake trash.
The problem is that the hiring people for these companies share those ideologies, and the dumbass clown world laws prevent you from firing someone that sucks because they're part of a protected class and its now a risk to get rid of them.
The problem is that anyone who knows how to make games is no longer in that company, because the suits chased them out. So they hire some randoms that are their new "talent", making sure that they fit their ESG grant guidelines. And then you get these games. Lol
CEO will still get his money anyway. To many times i meet CEOs that know about such problems in personel in advance but ignore it because they would need to do something and be on visible stage. And deal with HR and PR.
Concord's existence was because Herman Houst (head of Gurella Games).convinced Sony to buy the studio working on the game for $200 million and pitched to Sony as their "Star Wars" like franchise while Jim Ryan was already on a spending spree buying Bungie for 3.6 billion dollars for his future live service plans. Turns out Concord was in a terrible state in it's last year of development so Sony had to spend an additional $200 million commissioning other studios to help bring it to its finalized state. Even before that, the writing was already on the wall and Jim Ryan "retired" and now Herman is their new CEO.
There needs to be an "unbuyable" category at this point
Like Vee said, "You identify as non binary, I identify as non BUYnary. I can still indifferent longer than they can stay solvent".
It was super easy to make this call so late in production because they designed those scenes to be removed for Chinese markets anyways. The scenes will end up in the special features section, and just like in Dragon Age Veilguard, they will have been another fucking lecture.
Not even the higher-ups are safe. Look what happened to EVERY SINGLE AAA game studio over the past decade. ALL the dudes who built those companies and started those franchises got me too'd and their positions were taken away, even though they were the OWNERS and FOUNDERS
There's so much money in the world right now that they don't need simple people money. Those millions can come from other parties which we don't know about and they don't give a damn about money made. The only thing they need is influence over peoples' thoughts and guiding them to a certain path.
Its not about the money once you get to the top, its about control. For example, if you liquidate all of BlackRock's USD and give it out to everyone, within a few years all that money would make it back to their hands. How? They own and control our infrastructure, our media, our consumer driven market. Its about the control to them, not the money.
the wrong path too its all about deceiving people into straying from the right path from righteousness from truth
That is exactly the purpose behind pushing the DEI and ESG stuff... the motive of the people pulling the strings behind the curtain.
It's not about the money... not directly. It's about p0w3r... because that's even more important to those people, and it can ALSO guarantee them more $... as well as c0ntr0l.
The largest studios and publishers are too big and bulky for their own good. Too many arms to control, too slow to respond to change - every corporation has a political system of their own.
Once you have more administrative staff than you have people working on the product you're too big to make good stuff any more. Bureaucracy stifles innovation.
You can be a big studio and make good games, as long as your goal is to actually create games.
I am so done with anything "Trans".
I think the other part of the problem is the gaming media gaslight, give high scores to anything DEI, and will pretend literally anything is the reason that games flop other than the DEI stuff. They will come up with endless excuses. So on top of large studios already being slow and clueless to respond, the message is being even further muddied by the media being controlled by the same people pushing this stuff. Essentially they're all in an echo chamber of their own making, so the truth never gets through.
@@sumerianbotfarm True, it's why Sony of Japan doesn't try to actually control everything and just let the different branches like SMEJ do their thing, and SMEJ in turn lets Aniplex do their thing and then Aniplex lets the animation studios and game studios they control do their thing and everyone is happy. Aniplex produces most good anime people like, A-1 Pictures and Cloverworks, that are under Aniplex, are highly praised anime studios in the industry and Lasenge, under Aniplex, makes the FGO gacha game. It's really simple, let the people making the things make the things and you just do what you have to do, essentially nothing except make sure they have money to do the things they need to do in order to make more money. Can't say the same for Sony of America though.
Bro they don't care about losing money because even if they do BlackRock is just gonna give them more of it to keep doing what they're doing

Yep. This will never stop until the ESG money stops. People need to call it by its name
@@Anthonybrother his name is Larry o koopa fink

Not really, it's a loan shark situation where the money they give is basically meant to bankrupt the company slowly over time through the requirements attached to it. They know the people they loan the money out to won't be able to pay it back.
Disney should not be praised for being right about changing - they should never have pushed it in the first place.
This is obvious blackrock funds tell them to do this
It's not even just the pushing of agendas, which it clearly would've been, it's also just the fact that there's no reason for us to know a child character's sexuality or gender identity..
It's not important to the plot or the movie at large at all, there's zero reason for anything like that to be in a kids movie, period. 🤷🏼♂️
Agreed. It’s like having one of the kids in The Sandlot randomly bring up that he’s gay. It’s totally irrelevant to the story and inappropriate for a kids movie.
The first and most important question is: Why should I care for a minor's sexuality in the first place...?
Seriously, when did it become something that must be pondered??
@@Another_El_User Bro they're obsessed with it. My brother in law is an adult with no children who volunteers his time to chaperone the LGBT club at a high school. On what planet is it not a huge red flag for an adult to interact with a minor on the basis of their sexuality?
They’re quite literally coming for our kids.
@@Another_El_User because what they do in diddy party and damn islands? Put 2 and 2 together

@Quintessence4444 they're incinerating billions for it, there's a lot of conspiracies that say they can explain it but I don't have any actual answer as to why they're pushing ESG so hard
Then why are so many studios falling like flies?
@Quintessence4444 The money is functionally infinite. This is cultural warfare being waged by the people who also own British Petroleum, every major shipping company, every major supermarket chain etc etc.
@@BigChungus-zg6zw it's one level above them - it's who funds them, using everyone else's money to bully markets
Money used to dictate everything, but then ideologues got into these companies and then it was nothing else other than "the message". Companies are finally starting to figure this out and cleanse themselves.
Oh no, money still means everything to most, it's just that the people with the most have effectively bought you and your country and now you play by their rules because it was really fucking stupid to put profits above everything else.
Once again, the formula:
- Reveal crappy product
- It gets fan backlash
- Insult the fans
- “Don’t like it don’t buy it”
- Watch as the product flops
- Blame fans for game not selling
- Studio Closes
This is The Way 🙂↕️
Song of the South, Dumbo, and the old cartoons had a story and were entertaining to kids. Nothing wrong with them.
The crows in Dumbo were my favorite characters.
"When I See an Elephant Fly" is one of my favorite Disney songs, and the only part of that movie that doesn't bore me to death
The Aristocats was one of my favorite Disney movies as a kid, and yet the terminally online think its racist. As an Asian-American I wasn't offended by the Asian cat, in fact I thought he was cool! That movie really needs more love.
I say this as a black man myself. I'd take one of those old "racist" cartoons like Jungle Jitters over any modern-day "woke" pro-black crap any day of the week. At least Jungle Jitters is entertaining and it doesn't talk down to you or waste your time.

Nah, the gay slippery slope was real. I didn't believe it, I laughed at it, now look where we are
now they can buy children and pretend to raise them.
I was on the fence on the whole marriage thing . But once I saw the slope starting to slip, I knew it was a bad idea. Like you said, look where it let us. I should've listened to my more conservatives leaning friends and teachers (I went to a Catholic high school - both in name and practice).
Where do I even start with how ignorant this is? Do you think people can truly be converted to being gay or trans? You feeling like we choose to be endlessly shat on by the dumber fraction of our population for fun?? It doesn’t make sense, logically. Reading shit like this makes me question our entire schooling system.
@@JaysTVRNFunny you would mention the schooling system in the same comment questioning if it's possible to manipulate somebody's interests.

Of course the studios want money, but they already got it from Larry, so they don't care about delivering a product that people would buy, because the game was already bought
This is the real answer, and yet so few people are aware.
Hoe do you explain studios stuting down?
@Dexyu The studios shutdown but the people responsible just move to another company to repeat the process. It's pump and dump.
Wrong..
This all stems from ESG funding, which is headed up by China, who have a vested interest in destabilizing The West.
You guys have NO idea what the hell is actually going on, you are stuck in the 1940's mindset..
Follow the money, it is not difficult.
Because the studio already got paid,it was originally irrelevant if the product made a profit. The problem became when the same thing started happening over and over and over again.
Dumb and evil.
So that's a hard YES.

Yea a lot of social engineering going on to try and influence younger ppl at schools etc. Us boomers in 30s see thro bs of changing our characters. Younger don't know or get new ones. It's a way to divide society.
From what I've seen more younger kids who've had this forced on them from primary school on are sick of it in larger nunbers than support it. Millenials started all this, assisted by the far left do gooders in academia et al who always existed. They've already started pushing back. This will not go how the woke mob thought.
They have been lied too. They were told they could make cheap effortless games, and by putting politics into it people would still buy.
The problem is that ''they'' are rooted very deep in the enterteinment industry, i think this will be a generation problem.

Viva La Dirt League’s new video “Ripping off an Indie Game” summarizes AAA Studios pretty well
They are being paid to produce this shit so it don’t matter if the company folds, they already got paid for putting it out regardless.
It's an honest question at this point. Like the Intergalactic trailer. How in the world, with all the news lately, do they put that trailer out? How is it possible to be that tone deaf? Arent some of these companies publicly traded? Why arent shareholders starting to speak up?
In case you haven’t noticed, the stockholders are the ones promoting this stuff. Like Blackrock, Vanguard, and State Street.
They are so rich, they no longer care about money. They just want to push a message.
The crazy part in this case Is that the actress is good looking irl. They just keep pushing it if the REALLY want to be diverse they should have tyr option to pick. Like cyberpunk or assassins creed

Most of the answer comes from the fact that Modern triple A games take soo many years to make despite how garbage it is that it can't catch up to the change in public sentiment on what's happened with the total rejection of DEI, so while it looks completely obvious they are not able to avoid the iceberg and sink the ship.
It will eventually correct itself, but boy are companies going to pay for it(like Ubisoft).
So, sunk cost fallacy
@lexsamreeth8724 pretty much, which is funny because these companies are barely making profit on the games that do succeed with due to how bloated the costs are on them anyway.
I've come to rationalize that it's because most of these games and movies have been in development for the last five years so we're getting hit with a wave of everything that has been worked on, but I doubt the next 5 years they are going to be working on these type of projects.
Yup there won't be any. Cuz it's all seen as to risky. So you get like 2 games.
Agree 100%. However, we will be getting new crappy games in the next 5 year with a different ideology since the root cause which is business guys out of touch with their industry are still on charge.
Undoubtedly these game devs were really excited to get their ideology into the spotlight though, they will still push to continue it after it's proven time and time again to be unprofitable.
Good point. We have to remember a lot of this stuff probably suffers from the Concord effect if you want to call it that - its been conceptualized years ago, takes even longer to even make and release, and they’re operating under the thought process of that period of time. By the time it comes out, the trends, social landscape, and more change more than people think, so it can come off as dated.
100% done if these games came out 10 years ago I could have been less push back

Depends on the consumer. Most of them are dumb, but some have a decent amount of sense.@@dustaluphaegus
That's about the only thing they are correct on. Most people even here, only seem to understand the symptoms not the actual issue.
Part of the issue I feel is the fact that companies are used to being able to dictate demand to the customers. They've had great success doing this since the early 2000s with the rise of the PS2/GameCube/Xbox generation. Movies did the same as they expanded their marketing budget for the big summer blockbusters. They were even able to turn late December into another holiday movie. It worked fairly well through the 2010s as well with them able to persuade their player base that PC wasn't a gaming platform and was a hive of piracy. Marvel was able to shoehorn in lesser known superheroes between bigger releases to get people out to see movies. But around the late PS4/Switch/Xbox Whatever generation, you started to see that trend shift with marketing no longer able to dictate demand and the cost to acquire the same customer base as before increase exponentially. Marketing for many movies increased as well, but not as many people turned out unless you spent 50 million to advertise a movie. A lot of games and brands that attempted genre shifts in the last 10 years to appeal to a larger audience and ended up just losing their existing fan base. You especially see this in the Japanese video games that have attempted to pivot to an international audience from Square Enix to Nihon Falcom.
Oh 100% this. I will add this was also do the rise of digital gaming. After all we don't need to all wait for the big tent pole game. When 200 games are dumped onto steam a day. Your bound to find one you like. And that number grows fast each year. We were so segmented into are own small groups the idea of us all play 1 new game is rare.
Conservatives Don't like trans? Huh? Since when? I thought it was more about the forced and compelled speech they disagreed with? Live your life but don't force me to follow along as well type thing

Make a good game and make profit is how it was in the past.
Nowadays it's like this:
1)Investors approve a creation of a game
2)There's a multi-million budget for the game
3)It's not enough because everyone either squanders money left and right or is outright stealing it
4)Good people at E S G who like to "force behaviours" offer to finance the project
5)There's a catch - if you want their cash you need to push their ideas
6)"Ah what the hell, money doesn't smell" - says the CEO and approves the partnership and agenda pushing
7)Game is almost made and it's horrendous
8)Marketing team, CEO and developers are aware that they made a flop
9)They push out an ad campaign that flaunts the rainbows and other "bundle-of-sticks"-ry.
10)People voice their concerns
11)"HAHA GOTCHA!" says the head of the marketing team and spins a narrative about the game being hated by all the "bad people"
12)Game gets released and provides 0 profit
13)Developers get fired and cry about it
14)CEOs get to jump with the golden parachute because they actually earned money out of that whole ordeal thanks to partnership with E S G
15)Investors who were aware of the plan and traded behind the scenes with flop in mind are happy
16)Your favourite TH-camr makes a video about the game being a horrible flop and promises you that things are changing and it'll get better
17)There are actually people on Reddit who still like the game and happily pay a full price for it
18)Casual gamers who can't tell piss from champagne ask for seconds
19)You are now considered a wrong thinker for disliking a shoddy product
20)There are dozens of such projects in the works that were approved and most AAA games for next several years will be made using same formula
They don't need to make products to get cash anymore. At this point elites have so much money they don't even really need YOU to pay for the product. You'll give them cash anyway, via taxes and other spendings, because people financing your entertainment are also financing your politicians.

"When we take them to treasure Island.... They don't come back as boys" - Pinocchio lol
I've said this comment before, but it bears repeating.
There is more money in making woke propaganda than there is selling video games, and it is undeniably easier. We've fortunately been provided with several useful case studios on this point.
Case 1: Dustborn. An absolute miserable flop of a game. Resulted in less than 50,000 dollars worth of sales. On a production budget of 1.5 million, we'd look at that and go "Wow, a 99% loss, that's brutal, bet they won't make that mistake again!" But... There's another side. Remember that 1.5 million dollar budget? The company that produced Dustborn was given 2 million dollars in grants from left-leaning organizations/governments. So Dustborn ended up with a 33% profit margin before it even hit the digital shelves. Selling any copies of the game at that point was just a cherry on top.
Case 2: Disney Star Wars. We've seen all the flops. They're too numerous to repeat for a TH-cam comment. It has cost them billions of dollars to purchase that IP, and billions more to produce the resulting flops. So what gives? How can Bob Iger say "profits aren't important, the message is" and their stock price doesn't crater? Because of investment firms like Blackrock. Blackrock has provided more investment into Disney than their entire revenue from Star Wars. They've invested at least 13 billion dollars into Disney, eclipsing the estimated 10 billion dollars that Star Wars has provided in revenue. Once you add in the 4 billion dollar price tag, plus the estimated 3 billion in production costs, Star Wars has (rough estimate) provided Disney with about 3 billion dollars.
Case 3: Concord. Many people were puzzled as to why Sony would purchase a struggling, weak project like Concord. After all, the costs were sky high, the hype was virtually zero, there was no upside. Well, guess who owns a massive stake in Sony? Our old friends Blackrock. Coincidentally, after the purchase of Firewalk Studios and the resulting flop of Concord, Blackrock increased their investments in Sony by about 13%. Just about enough to cover the production costs of Concord.
Built into Canadian law.
Lately it's agendas not money.
The real question is how did 1.6% of the population get such a large voice. It's absolutely politics.
Because the amount of people virtual signaling and larping is much higher.
I was talking to someone that works in games, and he mentioned the leadership is afraid of the activist employees, so they pretty much bend the knee whenever they get pushback. They'd rather have expensive failures then upset the activist employees.

We've gotten to a point that we have a professor on a news broadcast talking about a few lines of a character from a Disney kids show being removed.
I don't think there's anything wrong with having gay representation in kids media, I myself have wanted that for as long as I can remember; and with all this complaining about LGBT in kids media, you'd think I'd be on the other side. But frankly, to date; I haven't seen any gay rep that's been done well, or done in a non-insulting way. And so far, all it's done is hurt our cause. And as for Trans being in kids media, I fully agree that it shouldn't be.
For those curious as to what I would consider good representation, I'll use some poplar media as an example. Let's see... Let's use Gon and Killua from Hunter X Hunter as our example, change basically nothing; at all. Maybe they are a little more touchy-feely with each other, maybe they kiss a few times; maybe they simply peck each other a lot, or hold hands. And maybe they say I love you, or I like you. And maybe *MAYBE* the emotional scenes in the show are a *little* bit more emotional, because; you know, love.
But aside from that, change; *absolutely* nothing. Don't make them talk weird, don't make them look weird; just, don't. Just keep them, and the show; the same. Now *that* would be good representation, but does Disney; or any other media really do that? No, they don't. They're all some, f^^^ing caricature of flaming queers! And your average Walmart American, *isn't* going to accept a flaming queer.
A couple of gay people, maybe; but a flaming queer?! Even *I* don't particularly care for flaming queers, *and I'm freaking gay!* May hurt some to hear, but it's the honest truth. We either need a break, or they need to start making good media again. I'd prefer they go down the good media route, because that benefits us all; but unfortunately, I don't see that happening any time soon.
There is an easy rule in writing... "If you can cut something out from a story and nothing changes, then it shouldnt be in there in the first place."
And stuff like "kill your darlings" (remove a character that isnt needed, even if they are well developed) are some of the hardest things that anyone has to learn that cares even in the slightest about writing. ;D
12:04 The issue with that is not much in school actually prepares you for the real world and the most prominent is probably timekeeping and scheduling, so if thats to be on the cards theres a huge list of things way higher in priority we also need to start teaching

@@nobody8717 Looney Tunes did more mockery of Arabs than Disney.
The problem with how these companies push social issues is that they fail to make relatable characters. If you look at shows from decades ago that featured black people at the forefront, some of the most popular and well liked ones "The Jeffersons, Cosby Show, Fresh Prince of Bel Air" had great characters you can relate to. They were not just defined as a label "black". They were characters who happened to be black. It was just one of many pieces that make up that character.
In "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" most people can relate to Will Smith as being a troubled youth trying to find his way in life. The one episode that talks about Will's dad abandoning him and how Uncle Phil fills in that gap was very well received by the viewers.
So much of modern media just focuses on the labels and in so doing are actually more bigoted for it. The characters end up being a walking stereotype with all focus on that one label and very rarely is it relatable to the general audience. The poorly written plot is also forced to fit around this one issue.
It's not like all content that deals with social issues is poorly received. One of the more popular comedians "Bill Burr" brings up social issues and more people agree with his way of covering those issues because of how they are tied into a relatable story.

In true capitalism, studios would have pivoted almost immediately. They’re likely being paid by someone other than gamers. Who can that someone be? 🤔
Nobody nose!
It's all just a Very Long out-of-season April Fools joke.
When multiple of these massive greedy companies are willing to burn hundreds of millions and keep churning out the same garbage, there comes a point where any rational person who thinks for themselves has to ask if there are any hidden motives or agenda at play. Keep in mind that pretty much the same exact situation is happening in both TV series and movies. Even people who barely use the internet are starting to see it's very strange.
imo publishers and studios will learn and will change, just not overnight
people need to keep in mind that these games get developed for like 5-8 years, games releasing today were already planned, budgeted and greenlit 5-8 years ago, generally it's a bad idea to make big changes late in development, but we could see them half way through
so... if last year was the turning point of when they start to understand, we won't actually see the result till next year or the year after
Like with everything else here is how it should be.
"Hey I'm trans"....cool moving on.
"Hey i'm African American"...cool moving on.
"Hey i'm a green skin alien"...cool moving on.
DEI should be thought about but not forced down our throats. When done right, you don't even notice it. It should appear natural. However currently in Media/Games its being forced, its become the central pillar instead of story and gameplay.
It's should be "Hi, I'm John."

I work in game sales. TLDR: It was profitable for a while and still is in some cases because they get money from shareholders and investments, rather than sales. DEI guarantees profit regardless of box sales.

It's just something I've always liked but when I meet people it's not the first thing I tell them about myself and my whole life is not based around being the Joker and wearing Joker stuff and covering my car and my computer and my clothing in Joker stuff. It's just something I like and something that I'm into and I don't need everyone else to like the Joker for me to be happy liking the Joker. I'm fine liking it by myself and not telling everyone about it. Why can't they do this? Just exist and shut up. Lol
