Which is the gaming industry's fault.

1000% this. They’ve taken their audience, their REAL target market for granted for the better part of a decade now. Fucking around with woke this and DEI that and appealing to anyone other than their audience. It would be like Tampax trying to sell a range of monster trucks. Where the fuck is the basic marketing-101, where’s the common sense?

*Spend 10 years telling people not to buy your games.

*People stop buying your games.

*Surprised pikachu 😮

And even after all the flaming collapses these past few years, there’s basically no one in the industry even remotely capable of a little introspection and honesty to be like, “yeah okay, maybe we fucked up. Maybe we need to dial this shit down a bit…”

Nope, they just keep lashing out with racism, misandry and the usual, “I’m just trying to be a decent human being☹️”

Fuck right off.

Endemion the other day had a Ubisoft dev tell him that the next assassin game (Hexe) features satanism and lesbian witches with literally no male characters whatsoever. The team apparently acknowledged that players will hate it but said they were still gonna make it anyway.

Nevermind how bold it is of them to assume they’ll still exist after Shadows tanks, they STILL haven’t learnt anything from their failures. The arrogance and sheer fucking leftist hubris is off the charts, not just with Ubisoft but with Sucker Punch and their upcoming activist Lesbian Simulator, as well as Sony itself with their $799 driverless consoles.

The entire industry is a bunch of sanctimonious, high and mighty narcissists who see themselves as the arbiters of morality. THAT and nothing else is why their (former) audience is rooting for them to crash and burn. And they can fuck off with their “vocal minority” bullshit too, if that were true they wouldn’t be haemorrhaging hundreds of millions a year
