I mean it’s hardly surprising given how much they hate us. Lies, censorship and treachery are standard business practice here in the good ol 2020’s. But I believe they’ll still lose in the long run.

We can all spot woke a mile away, going stealth won’t cover up its dog shit scent. The best product will always become the most sought after, mediocre crap will always tank.

And even if the entire industry all start rigging the market like EA recently (aggressively gatekeeping access, giving review codes only to handpicked reviewers, NDA’s, sending out talking points to the media, copyright striking YouTube channels etc) it still won’t save them in the long run.

All they’re going to do is further erode their own credibility and ensure that NO ONE trusts them enough to preorder in future. High fake review scores and pretentious game awards do not pay the bills or keep the lights on. SALES pays the bills and keep the lights on, and the only way to ensure sales is to give the audience what they actually want.

So they can all play these little corporate leftist games as much as they like, they can protect the Sweet Babies and Black Girl Gamers and Hit detections et al as much as they want, but they’re going to keep losing. People will either become even stingier with their money or they’ll just check out of video games all together and take up something else instead.
