I'm not so sure about any government payout to indies. The developers are just woke. I can almost see the office buttsex from watching the trailer. It's a game made by artists. I could make 2D character movement and projectiles in a weekend in Godot, and half the work is done and I just need some art. Much of the other things like parallax scrolling is built in.
I'm not even saying that is a bad thing for it to be a simple game. I like the idea. But it is missing the charm of what it aims to copy, particularly in the character design. They all look kinda just, gay. I've seen more than my share of pixel characters of old (and typically Japanese) and they don't.
There's a lot of factors at play, things like positive reception from games journalists and so on, so obviously I can't directly accuse them of that but there will definitely be immediate benefits to going woke even if it's not monetary assistance. The AAA studios definitely take some form of payouts and we've seen from internals how they have specific targets even when it comes to hiring practices. My main point is I feel like we've only scratched the surface when it comes to the woke consulting that plagues the industry especially when it comes to their financials.
We could well be seeing a Gamergate 3.0 in the works when you take into account how many brainless NPCs there are on their side. Probably going to get more information from staff once they inevitably get laid off due to shitty sales. For example the creative assembly 'AI programmer' was pretty eye opening in terms of your average big studios' inner workings and that was just one butthurt employee who was annoyed he got targeted over how shit the Total War games have become.
it’s a racket, hire the woke consulting groups and we will run positive press for you dont and we’ll make shit up like with black myth wukong. than the ESG loan bullshit and DEI hiring process that kills a company from within overloading management and employees with talentless activist cunts
My guess with AAAs is stock price manipulation and/or outside investment from the Blackrocks of the world. It's far too obvious to just send them a bribe, but to quietly imply that they will hire Sweet Babies or some other such firm or the cash inflow from Blackrock to their stock price will stop, that's all it takes.
