    They're all in denial that without gamers they have no reason to exist. They keep trying to convince us that it's the other way around.

      Convince? More like FORCING us to embrace their "culture".

    >The whole world is rejecting their garbage pandering/ ideology/ politics/ trash games.
    >They call critics haters and -isms and -phobes
    >They really think the WHOLE WORLD is that...
    The toxicity of having such a negative world view is extremely narcissistic, which totally makes sense for the kinds of people they truly are.

    I seriously can't imagine thinking that everyone that disagrees with my world view is a hater or -ism or some type of -phobe. It sounds mad exhausting.

    Simple really why the westen gaming industry is crashing and burning, they replaced all their talent, skill. The replacement is clueless activists. They have no idea how to run a busniess, they do not know what PR is. Zero idea what goes into a game to make a good game, they make bad games, blinded by the message, than the charry on top: They attack the hand that feeds them. So insted of teaching everyone this manditory DEI mambojambo, they need to teach their workers what PR is, than what happend to this old way of thinking? Anyone working in a studio attack anyone on social media for whatever reason, that means their job gets yeeted into oblivion. Asian games and indies are on the path forward, because the westen AAA games have failed to make attractive products. Asian game makers make attractive products, thus they get the buys, they get the people playing their games.

      I wouldn't call the eastern a saint either. Remember how Nintendo sued palworld because their game was doing better than Pokémon ? Not to mention, they made a patent to spite and scare palworld to the point that they released a patch that removed the throwing sphere animation.
      Yes the western industry is crap, but the eastern are no angels either.

    To be fair we kept getting told not to buy their games because they aren't made for us, for myself I have only bought 3 games this year Black Myth Wukong, Stellar Blade and Helldivers 2 and the games I bought for other people are older games not from this year

    Why do woke games have esthetically challenged characters?

  • @logTopic
    @logTopic 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I've seen a lot of gaming content creators share the same sentiment, but I'm not sure I understand where you guys are coming from. Is the issue "woke-ness," diversity, and "ugly female characters?" Or are the games just bad? I'm going to assume the latter, because being pressed about the other things seems unbelievably silly. Personally, I don't care about anything except whether or not the game is good. I can think of plenty of games with female leads that didn't need big, jiggly, booba and curves to keep my attention.

    So it’s good to have mostly tall white men in the lead roles. I normally create a white woman or man character as the NPCs are already inclusive 😊

    I wouldn't list Final Fantasy as a brand that's succeeding right now. 16 and 7 Rebirth both sold horribly, I don't think Rebirth's PC release will improve things. Square made too many bad decisions to sour gamers in general.
    Let's also not sweep under the rug that Square-Enix is gung ho on DEI. You got the prolific flop that was Forespoken which used a racist consulting firm to push an ideology. Japanese gamers were not having any of it as much as western gamers. 7 Rebirth used a consulting firm for certain NPC dialog like when a gay guy was asking for advice on how to profess his crush for another man. Harvestella using pronouns and sold poorly as a result. I will say that XVI's inclusion of having a gay character was done rather well. The writers didn't make Dion's homosexuality his only trait, it was not there to pander or lecture anyone.
