So Kotaku, PCGamer, The Guardian, Insomniac Games and Bungie.

You just have to laugh at this:

Yes, Sweet Baby explicitly consults on issues including the accurate representation of marginalized groups

Like a black north goddess? Or having black people in medieval Europe inspired games? Or that Forspoken game?

Hey, they didn't say they were any good at the accuracy! 🙃

Whites are the only "marginalized group" in the west. They need to get with the times.

Too late, the normies have become aware. Was listening to Archcast with RGE and he correctly pointed out when GG originally happened, the normies where like "why are gamers picking on women?"

Now after years of shit entertainment, when the Sweet Baby shit came out, even with attempts at spin, the normies went "so that's why my games have been so shit!"

All the defenders are doing is outing themselves as something that needs to be purged to get decent entertainment from the West again.

It wouldn't have taken them a decade to realize that GG was right if they weren't retarded simps. Normies are almost as bad as the crowd shitting things up in the first place.

That's what makes them normies, they're the ones that will follow the same path even as obstacles get put in place until they can't physically do it anymore.

The non normies instantly find a new path at the first obstacle or just chuck the obstacle out of the way if possible.

Or turn around and trailblaze in a completely different direction. IIRC one of the recent Zelda open world games had this "option" where many players just buggered off before even talking to the first tutorial npc.

That's why the best term for them is not 'normie' but chattel

Normies are a resource. They're retarded, but if you can wield them you have considerable power over the path your culture will follow.

Yeah, it's taken a long while for people to catch on to what GG was about if they didn't already know. If you didn't understand that "Five Guys" wasn't a restaurant chain, you basically had no idea what was happening. Alternatively, even if you played video games, if you weren't active on gaming forums, you wouldn't know what happened either.

GG was unironically a canary in the coalmine, the problem was most "miners" were completely obvious to being in a coalmine.

Whether it's Sweet Baby Inc. themselves or the companies that hired them, nobody is stepping forward to clarify exactly what SBI got hired for, what their input was, and what changes the game companies made if any. And for good reasons because there are a few possibilities we are looking at, with more than one possibly being true:

  1. Sweet Baby Inc. is afraid of people finding out that their grift is making shitty changes to games.

  2. Sweet Baby Inc. is afraid of people finding out that their grift is making almost no changes and they get paid to do very little work.

  3. The game companies are afraid of people finding out because then it will reveal just how deep the rot is in gaming companies already before Sweet Baby Inc. gets their stinky diaper-encrusted fingers all over the game.

Currently game journalists and some game devs are attempting to double down on defending Sweet Baby Inc. but considering how both the curator group and the harassment campaign against it have brought massive amounts of attention to it, it's possible that game companies might try to throw Sweet Baby Inc. under the bus, or at least distance themselves. The curator group will probably his 250k followers by tomorrow, the news has spread throughout all the reactionary channels on Youtube, etc.

Whipping out hit piece articles might not be enough. Don't be surprised if the usual suspects try to slither away and start a new company under another name and try it all over again. Without transparency, we are left to speculate just to what degree has Sweet Baby Inc. changed games. It's like someone caught red-handed but he's stubbornly keeping his hands behind his back and hoping that we spontaneously forget that we are looking into the face of a criminal.

I hope they keep talking. With GG1 they had at least a veneer of respect left that gave some plausible deniability. Now that GG2 is rolling out and the entirety of the journalism entertainment academia ecosystem has been exposed by their Trump reaction, nobody can deny what is going on, and if they do you know they are with the enemy.

The only thing they have to combat their own irrelevance is the spectre of GamerGate. They're never going to win gamers back as an audience, and so their only potential source of revenue is left-wing outrage, and any callback to GG provides the motivation they think they need to attract that kind of traffic to their sites.
