Embracer has had absolutely nothing good come out, and every major release has been a dumpster fire.
Indeed. I can't believe I was ever optimistic that they might do anything good with the IP's they were gobbling up. They're produced nothing but woke trash.
Unpopular opinion : EA is over-hated. They used to be the wokest company, but now not even close. If they shutter DICE soon, it would be a big step in the right direction. If they closed down DICE and fired everyone, I might even retract my boycott against them.
I never liked CDPR. I actually got a used copy of Cyberpunk 2077 out of morbid curiosity, but I haven't gotten around to playing it yet.
I actually agree with you, CA have actually been on my highest shit list lately because of their ridiculous DLC practices and the Warhammer 3 release. That being said, they deserve to die just because of their history and what they did to peoples' favourite game franchises but EA would turn the masses against CDPR.
You might think this irrelevant to the article but it isn't but I saw something quite profound posted up I think it was on a steam review of all places by someone who was obviously a gamer. He realised like I've been realising that these companies are very much marketing to non-gamers now and now they've managed to achieve their target market the opinions of actual gamers who play these games don't matter anymore.
This means that you have fucking games like Cyberpunk 2077 releasing in the mess that they have or them pulling whatever shady business practices and it doesn't matter how much shit they pull the consooming masses will lap it up and even defend it against people who have been playing games since the 90's and remember how the industry was by gaslighting them and pretending this is normal business practice. They're pushing out whatever generic crap they can ( I was not impressed by Cyberpunk 2077 even when it technically 'worked' ) and then milking the unknowing masses for money with it. I have to wonder if that was part of their game plan to bring in Keanu Reeves as a voice actor and get the normies excited.
I think gamers need to accept that the big studios have simply cast everything they once believed in aside and only support real indie developers that give a shit. This stupid menstrual policy is very much just the beginning of CD Projekt Red being gutted beyond recognition.
"We [get] many cool perks: We can bring our dogs to the office, we often have upskilling workshops, [and] wellbeing seminars," Sondej said. "For those who need a helping hand, we also facilitate psychological help. I know it might sound cheesy, but--despite being new--I really feel at home. I also feel like I can speak up here, which is great."
That's why I've fucked off from 99% or more triple-A titles. Indie devs simply produce better games for less. There's less overhead, fewer employees, no bureaucratic HR department to pay and most importantly, the dev is under no responsibility to be more "inclusive" like the mega corps.
Also, the dev has complete creative control over the content and some of them even seem to give a shit about their audience.
There are more games than any human could possibly play. By the time you've finished one, fifty more take its place. There are so many games that the very concept of a "killer app" basically doesn't exist any more, with some very rare exceptions. Maybe one game a year gets released that is consider "must play". Maybe. For all the rest, there are a million games just like it that you can play instead.
There's absolutely no reason to give money to anti-humanists who want you dead.
It's weird how Overwatch, as arguably the most overly feminine game community there is, was one of few games to not force International Women's Day propaganda on people this year.
Back to your point, I think most of the women in games are genuinely there just to destroy a male hobby.
I mean, I don't play it. My friends pestered me to, but until Activision-Blizzard is free of the California gender courts, I won't give them my personal information.
Is this actually true? Admittedly, I don't follow most game companies/studios; have the Valheim devs actually gone woke? And what sort of wokeness did they add to the game?
>Women will get less work done
>Women be less present
>Even more favoritism will be required to justify promoting them
kek
The conquerors are looting the treasury at yet another company.
The question is, who will get to buy their IP when they inevitably fail? Microsoft, EA or Ubisoft?
I can see Microsoft buying the Cyberpunk licence and churning out a new game every console generation.
Probably Tencent or Embracer looking at current trends.
Out of those two, Tencent. Embracer has had absolutely nothing good come out, and every major release has been a dumpster fire.
Indeed. I can't believe I was ever optimistic that they might do anything good with the IP's they were gobbling up. They're produced nothing but woke trash.
Ironically, they still made a profit last quarter by sending the Tomb Raider license off to Amazon.
They're a glorified private equity company like KKR, rather than a game company.
Not really relevant if they have the capital and they go for sale
lol I would love it if EA bought it up, watch how fast everyone turns on CD Projekt Red after worshipping them.

Witcher 3 on the other hand, is in another league.

Omfg it's worse than twitter, pre-Elon.

Kinda like CDPR used to be lol
Ehhh, aren't indie developers usually even more woke?
Depends on the dev, of course. A lot of smaller devs just seem to be really passionate about putting out their games.
If they start spouting woke horse shit, I just move on to another one.
It's sorta like avoiding major news media: you gotta sift through a LOT of shit to find what you want, but it's worth it.

Investigating poop for undigested kernels of corn.
More of this please.
Unfortunately, that really seems to be the only option at this point. If you refuse to eat the entire corporate media shit sandwich, that is.
There's all kinds. The best ones are the ones that focus on their game and good boy points.
Is that training? That's good, but just say training. Absurd.
I admit I was wondering that myself, why don't they just call them training courses? They have to put buzzwords in to describe everything now.
Gaming/entertainment has been ruined by women... 9 out of 10 women dont belong in our hobbies or circles. Theres only a few i respect as gamers.
It's weird how Overwatch, as arguably the most overly feminine game community there is, was one of few games to not force International Women's Day propaganda on people this year.

Overwatch is garbage and only still relevant because of the high quality porn. Heheh. Platinum 2 rank. Stopped played weeks ago.
I mean, I don't play it. My friends pestered me to, but until Activision-Blizzard is free of the California gender courts, I won't give them my personal information.
I don't trust my information in enemy hands.
It's like watching your pet go through cancer.
This is probably to benefit male workers, so they don't have to be around them at that time.
Funny, but it's still discrimination against people who can't menstruate.
Best angle, as it's Poland : discrimination against menopausal women. Trannies won't work, telling the truth won't work.
Will they allow it for trans women when they demand it, though?
amazing how this company which was once upheld as the based savior of gaming is now even worse than some american companies
Another one is the developer of Valheim, who were "based" for rejecting an Epic Games takeover deal and overtook Epic in wokeness a long time ago.
Is this actually true? Admittedly, I don't follow most game companies/studios; have the Valheim devs actually gone woke? And what sort of wokeness did they add to the game?
Project Red indeed
CDPR has been going to shit for a while now, when they released their video about ESG I knew it was over and I'll never buy anything from them again.
What's the problem? Are they implying that only women can menstruate?
Such transphobismus!
Bleeders don't belong in the work place.
If only they had a programmer equivalent of Avi SIlverberg.
