The problem is idiots like him seeing things where they don't exist. Nobody had a fucking issue when elder scrolls allowed for everybody to be gay, now this is an issue with dragon age. Nobody had an issue with afro samurai, but now Yasuke is a problem.
Afro samurai was based on a popular character/franchise. It was fun, daft and a good game.
Assassin creed samurai edition tries to rewrite history by making the black guy a samurai hero. That's fine if you want to do it, but ubislop can't cry racism when they're called out on bullshit.
You're comparing apples and oranges.
Yes the likes of sweet baby Inc are also a problem, but idiots like this guy are as much of an issue, yet those criticising SBI are the ones behind him, which is ironic as fuck.
Why is he an issue? If anything, it's great to see someone calling out a group of parasites that offer nothing and force their ideology using threats and violence. They're the definition of terrorists.
I can say the same about you and the other idiots in this forum that can only yell woke as a dog whistle to their real beliefs. You don't need to hide, just fucking say it.
I use the word woke because it's easier than going on long autistic explanations about what I mean by woke. Your paragraph makes it sound like you'd fit in well on Ree or reeeddit. Who even used the term dog whistle?
And I didn't call you a retard, but alas, your moral high ground is now gone, so I'm more than happy to call you an idiot.
I didn't call you a retard either. Read more, seeth less.
To blame the industry's problems on what you perceive to be 'wokeness' is quite the take. So it wasn't Microsoft's unchecked greed that killed Tango? It wasn't Embracer gobbling up a ton of studios, pinning their ENTIRE hopes on a single deal that caused thousands, literally thousands of layoffs, it was the woke brigade? It was the woke brigade that turned Suicide Squad into a live service game, not executives and leadership with zero vision.
This is a cop out and skims past what we were discussing. Yes, unchecked greed is a problem, so is consolidation, but where do you think the incentive and investment for doing so came from? It sure as shit wasn't during the dudebro era or the trash-talking nerdlinger era.
Politics, The Message, Normies, Woke, whatever you want to label it as, is the root cause of the drop in quality in the industry.
Microsoft weren't shit during the OG Xbox years or for the majority of the 360 days. They turned shit when chasing normies and gamergrrrrl
I feel like Grummz and people like him have pulled this veil over people's eyes and it has become so easy to control people's thoughts and ability to critically think about things. Go support games like Kenzera or a Space for the Unbound. Go support the India Hero project games. Support the games made by a diverse group of people instead of yelling about shit on Twitter. Give these devs voices instead of empowering people like Grummz for fucks sake.
Social media is a cesspool and everyone on it should have their internet access removed for a year for their own good.
Saying grummz has pulled a veil of people's eyes is a really, really dumb take, considering people only knew his name for shining a light on cockroaches in the industry. Those scumbags who were using force and threats to inject an ideology for the sole purpose of ramming it down the throats of people they hate. They have openly said they hate people. That those who disagree should be fired, have their lives ruins and their families attacked.
Grummz is a grifter, at worst, and he's probably just riding high on the wave of popularity, at best. The people he exposed, at best are lying parasites and at worst would see decent people destitute and miserable for daring to disagree with them.
Again though, to emphasise and hammer home the point. The fact that this is even a discussion or a fucking post on a gaming forum, is everything wrong with the industry.
We should be arguing graphics, list wars which console is better and why one frame per second makes my console of choice superior to yours.
