Rumor: Compulsion Games Race Swapped Their Main Character After Hiring Sweet Baby Inc. - That Park Place
A new rumor claims that Compulsion Games, a subsidiary of Xbox Game Studios, reportedly race-swapped their main character for their upcoming game South of Midnight after Sweet Baby Inc. was brought on board to consult. A screenshot from South of Midnight (...
SBI is such a toxic shit stain on the gaming world.
It’s like they took every right wing gamer’s most paranoid boogeyman and just decided to incorporate it. They literally do exactly what we always thought they were doing.
I hope this actually leads to the gaming industry catering to actual gamers. Longshot but I can hope
The only survivors will be developer studios that want to make well written, fun games. None of the AAA studios do that right now. Not one.
Gaming will have to crash, and it will crash, that is inevitable right now. It is a good time to be an indie developer, though, because gamers will buy your stuff if you make something good and fun.
Fromsoft is the only exception I can think of.
Let the AAA studios die, they deserve it and I have always maintained that you don't need a massive budget to make decent quality games anymore anyway.
This. Can't even think of any remotely new AAA game I put any substantial time into over the last couple years. Maybe Age of Wonders 4, if that had a high enough budget to count as AAA, though I doubt it? But, I've been going through a Divinity: Original Sin 2 run with some friends where we're well north of a hundred hours at this point, spent a good amount of time in Palword, Death must Die and Against the Storm. And I've got a huge backlog to get through.
So let the AAA studios crash and burn. They're just obsolete at this point.
They can all die, From Soft included, every major studio, every single IP. Destroy them all, let no major studio survive. Only independent devs can survive such a collapse because they have no investment and no overhead. That can pick up and go at any time, anywhere. I don't care how many of your favourite games and good studios die. Only the nuclear solution remains. Innocent and guilty alike must be destroyed. I just wish gamers weren't such fucking pussies and cling to their triple A games and spout bullshit like "except this game or this studio" no, all or nothing. Stop being weak.
I agree because I've had downvotes for shitting on Nintendo for their behaviour LOL and I do think they're slowly going woke, the ESG and DEI rot is real. People don't like that their childhood memories are being corrupted this way and I don't blame them for that but this is why new indie variants should be made of the same thing, with blackjack and hookers.
I have no problem with a AAA crash. The only reason I don't want the "innocent" to be caught in it is because it would allow TPTB to shift the blame for why it happened. It would be just like how Disney is blaming "superhero fatigue" for Marvel's problems rather than the true cause.
If they can shift the blame, nobody will learn from it, and we will be doomed to go through this all again sooner than later. I want everyone to know exactly why it happened, with no excuses.
CryTek, idTech. Still a very short list.
The downside is that I fucking hate souls games…but I appreciate what they do at least
Also to survive will be those who figure out how to sneak their subversive messages into an enjoyable surface level story without undermining the gameplay. The Ken Levine's of the world. After all most of us enjoyed Star Trek TNG even though it was gay commies in space. It's only the blatant shit we can't help but notice.
I hope this leads to a complete collapse of the gaming industry that only Indies survive.
Do average black people (or black women specifically) find this design appealing? It looks like ghetto trash designed by a half-white nigress who worships nigger "culture" to compensate for her "impure genetics."
Black people enjoy this for the same reason that Jewish and leftist white people enjoy it: they hate white people, so seeing whites replaced in media is fun in and of itself.
Average black people don't even know these games exist. Black gamer nerds wants a fun game and don't care about any of this. Ghetto niggas play GTA and NBA exclusively. The frizzy haired black woman they cater to only exists at these places like Sweet Baby, and they don't play games just ruin them.
I’ve literally never met a black woman that plays video games.
Men? Yes of course. Sports games, fighting games, halo when it was good, mainline shooter titles.
But still. Blacks are a small portion of the US, the cash cow of game sales outside Japan, and catering doesn’t make sense. Sports games are already majority black without any injected diversity required to do that.
Welllllll... the games match the injected diversity in sports, but that was inevitable as the field-pickers needed something to do.
This is something that people severely underestimate, I'm reminded of the success of World of Warcraft believe it or not because the out of touch executive types and CEOs made the exact same mistakes then, does anybody even remember that? Literally every fucking game that came out tried to copy WoW because of how big it was.
Quite famously at least in gamer circles, there was a little known MMORPG called Star Wars Galaxies and they tried chasing the WoW playerbase over catering to their own very loyal playerbase they had gotten themselves. As a result they ruined the original gameplay that they had and I was a part of witnessing and experiencing that clusterfuck as a gamer and it was a major lesson to me when I was about 11 - 12 about how not to treat your customers.
We're very much seeing the same scenario play out except this seems to be completely artificially created. Marketing executives and contractors who have whipped themselves up into a frenzy trying to chase a market share that simply doesn't exist. I do think they seriously believe their own rhetoric about evil white man babies preventing minorities and women from playing video games with their behaviour. You see it in the chat leaks and how they talk to each other through memos among other things.
Except that shit doesn't fly when you can't even get these same people to play any of your shitty singleplayer games that barely qualify as games to begin with and are more like pretentious hipster art galleries no one wants anything to do with. The difference between the situation with WoW and this is back then they didn't have government incentive to behave the way they do so this whole fad has been prolonged way more than it would have otherwise been able to last and across the entire industry.
It was all downhill after Holocrons.

Sorry, but black women in video games just isn't believable. Unless it's the ones from the recent GTA6 trailer. It just breaks immersion if I'm asked to believe they can act like civilized humans.
Can we start a list of characters that got turned into black wahmen during development?
Saga in Alan Wake 2
Main Character in Flintlock: The Siege of Dawn
Main Character in South of Midnight
Any others?
Not sure if it counts but apparently GTA6 has way overrepresentation of black people when Miami is much more Latino.
That's what get from all these games. And i get called "white supremacist" for pointing that out. Pretty funny.
