The Video Game Awards for 2023 (like every year) was a big nothingburger. Trailers highlighting how bad gaming has gotten worse not only with woke shit, but also the lack of gameplay in the majority of Western developed games and their trailers. It’s fucking awful.
Geoff Keighley desperately wants to become a Hollywood big shot and it’s really pathetic… But the thing is he is merely a reflection of the game industry at large and the talentless hacks who have taken over and want to make movies instead of games. Games media and Game Devs are complaining about the lack of focus on devs, and I just don’t give two shits about the plight of game devs.
They created this monster by being embarrassed of their own profession and transforming the industry into a complete and utter joke. They were all spineless cowards who allowed the woke plague to come in and ruin the industry at best, and at worst were completely complicit in the industry-wide brain drain and woke transformation of video games.
When I hear about studio layoffs, I just shrug because nothing of value was lost. When I hear about entire studios shutting down (in the West), I feel nothing, if not perhaps a satisfaction that these studios self-destructed.
I don’t care about these game devs, because I know they hate my guts and don’t actually care about video games.
The same mindset applies to the vast majority of indie games that are either made by dipshits who couldn’t make it in Hollywood and just see gaming as an alternative outlet to make movies, or woke leftists who don’t have a single creative bone in their body. The fun indie games are buried in a sea of lifeless/woke copycats and walking simulators.
This clown world has made me completely unsympathetic to the plight of most workers overall. Good job elites, your diversity and inclusion plan of division worked. I really don’t care about any of these people.
You know what's really great about this? Gaming was already becoming the monolithic industry it now is prior to the woke bullshittery. Had they stuck by the industry. Had they held even a single ounce of pride for their work and the industry they helped build, what others thought wouldn't have mattered in the slightest when your industry is the economic powerhouse it is. But instead these people desperately cling to being accepted by another industry that is just filled with some of the biggest scumbags on the planet (that being hollywood, filled not just with political turds, but actual sex pests and pedophiles), and as a result it will NEVER be enough. Because they gave these freaks all the power. They grovelled and begged and pleaded to be accepted by the people who were an incestuous collection of filth (who themselves ended up turning even the handful that were decently talented among themselves into complete hacks). And instead of gaining respect, they became nothing more than the mocked pet.
They put themselves into a subservient position, and can't understand why they're not coming out on top. They were set to take over from Hollywood, and decided to bend the knee instead. They did this to themselves, and many don't even realise that they were even manipulated into doing it. All because they were looking for acceptance from people who are scummy to the point that everyone knows "the open secret" of Hollywood.
Fuck them. Their "plight" is nothing but a making of their own self-loathing. And if they cannot even respect themselves, why should I respect them?
