The only thing now I need to confirm my prejudices to such an extreme degree is finding out there are glowie based pressure groups brainwashing game studio devs into believing the left's bullshit about gamers all being far right and incel extremists, who hate women and minorities.
Don't work for these companies, I realise yes food on the table and all that. However I would rather initially work for less or fuck all as an indie dev than deal with any of that crap only to be out on the street anyway because the people in these companies are actual retards that are making you do all the work with fuck all recognition for it because they're unprofessional scumbags on top of it.
I get so mad about this guys because I once aspired to work at games companies when I was younger, this shit goes all the way down to the university level. The utter incompetence and brainwashing in the games industry is real. I'm also betting that the real reason behind long term projects is going to be them deliberately faking their hours so they can get that government and investor money.
Why do you assume that game devs are based or at least neutral and are coerced or tricked into supporting woke ideology when there’s ample evidence that game developers are true believers of DEI woke nonsense.
I don't assume they're based at all but you severely underestimate how retarded people are. They might technically be 'true believers' but people really don't know what bubbles these guys live in, don't get me wrong, a good few of them will be just fanatics. However it's becoming clear there's an entire infrastructure setup where devs will be struggle sessioned into submission like a lot of mainstream youtubers and actors if they even have a slightly independent thought for themselves.
Not one of them are going to be thinking "Hmh, maybe it's not normal for me to be surrounded by political commissars 24/7 with them breathing down my neck and waiting for me to say something wrong" they think this is what everybody deals with.
You're forgetting that most people go along with whatever the prevailing opinions of their tribe happens to be. This includes the vast majority of artistic types who, despite being stereotyped as freethinkers, are anything but. And if they do have any dissenting thoughts, they keep it to themselves, and the weak-minded among them will even gaslight themselves into thinking that they changed their minds organically.
Solitary confinement will make almost anyone go insane, and in an extremely repressive political environment, the part of your brain that's capable of independent thought will be isolated from engagement with your peers, and many people will simply break down and delude themselves into thinking they conformed out of a sincere change of opinion rather than coercion. Plus, no one wants to believe that their in-group are actually the side of evil, and since game devs tend to be weird nerds (not that there's anything wrong with that!), in an industry that's extremely demanding, their workplace becomes a surrogate family.
Remember, plenty of Germans went from being committed Nazis ready to lay down their lives for the Reich to becoming either diehard communists or liberals, depending on whether the Americans/Brits or Soviets happens to be the ones "liberating" them. Many former Gestapo agents even went on to become Stasi agents. Brainwashing works, "re-education" works, most people just aren't cut out to be political thinkers.

There is absolutely a difference between a born true believer and a "kept" one.
It's Plato's cave again. Some when taken out will be enlightened, others cannot be enlightened by any human means.
They will always cling to the lie.
Those who DO see take to the truth like taking a first breath. That experience can't be replicated, it just happens.

Knowing a couple people in the industry I can confirm that there are true believers among the rank and file of the industry.
