He forgot jeets and troons.
OF ALL THOSE, I'd say women are the worse.
Blacks do not do much, but they don't really get in the way neither. You'll rarely see a black pushing for DEI garbage. They mostly just take space, cash in paychecks and talk to people.
Gays don't really care about gay characters neither. They might make your male characters more attractive, but that's not necessarily bad.
Pajeets occasionally write good code; at minimum, what they write sorta work at the lower level. It can sometimes make development longer of course, but worst case scenario, you can just ignore their work, and they're slow anyway.
Women and troons are the real problems. Women especially. Not only are they completely useless (look at the guy who created Assassin's Creed, Patrick Désilets, and look at the new studio he founded, and look at how many women work for him), they actively push that trash/DEI/manipulation/anti-white men BS.
Women ruin everything, video games included.
Not to Imp-post but women in the industry have been the single biggest negative. All they've done is #MeToo all the actual talent out and replace it with diversity hiring and Tumblrisms. We didn't gatekeep hard enough against the fake gamer girl.
A woman will never be as strong, as intelligent as a man. It simply will not happen. Sure you can pick that one woman who genuinely made it to Nasa and that one great coder in C++, or that one ceo that turned around that chip maker, but that's one woman out of how many, 1000? 10,000? If you picked 1000 men and 1000 women, you'd have MAYBE one woman that can compete in the top league vs 50-100 men.
Of course, a woman could compensate her weaknesses by hard work. She could study overnight (like the Nasa woman did) or devote all her energy and effort, sacrificing personal life, hobbies, social life (like many men do). But does she really want to do that? For most women, the answer is no.
So if you're never gonna be as smart as a man and work to make and take your spot, what are you going to do? Guilt people into giving you what you want. You're not going to earn it, you're going to guilt people into believing that if you don't treat them as their equals (even though you are not), they should feel bad.
This would like in Naruto if Rock Lee (who can't do ninjitsu) was a girl and instead of training, he simply went "it's because I'm a woman. Women can't be ninjas?" No Dude, it's because you suck at being a ninja (unless you train).
But women are not interested in sacrifice, efforts, devotion. When was the last time you saw a woman REALLY into something? Like spending her nights reading a maths book or programming for 10 hours in a row? It pretty much never happens. Women do not want to make sacrifices to succeed. They don't want to save their income and reduce the doordash, $500 designer bags and all.
So they learned to adapt to their environment to steal power from people who actually earned it. And when men have enough, this is all going to crumble.
A programmer earning $200,000 a year working 80 hours a week won't accept to have his salary reduced to $150,000 while the woman who works maybe 10 hours a day mostly playing with the GUI makes $120,000. It just won't work forever.
Redditors are over there crying their eyes out and making shit up about the age that people were when playing these games. This era was my early adulthood and definitely not my most carefree years. And it was absolutely the best era of gaming. Not including the graphics, but that's obviously not the point at all.
For me, its 1995 to 2001. 1996 alone was the year of Pokemon, doa, tombraider and resident evil.
Yeah, the peak for both consoles and PCs was definitely late 90s to early 2000s. I'd say the golden age in general stretched from the NES to the 360, though.
Wow. Going out of your way to only hire women or minorities for the sake of it has ruined gaming, comics, Star Wars, Trek.
As long as they continue to treat black lesbians as walking on water, the gaming industry will never recover.
The industry has embraced all the worst of the left-progressive Ivory Tower elite luxury values.

It's been a decade and a half since Skyrim and nothing has reached that same level since. You think the 2012 apocalypse might've actually happened?
Everyone tries to blame the suits, but the reality is that many game devs are incompetent. The ugly, amateurish, gay NPCs of Starfield are not the fault of some greedy MBA bro from accounting. DEI has polluted and diluted the game dev labor pool to the point where any compliant studio is no longer fit for purpose. It takes 5x the budget to brute force AAA western game dev now because you have to pay all of the female and minority dead weight. Commies want to blame the money men, naturally, but we had at least a decade of great games after the suits arrived. You think they want to pay a bunch of useless people? The "evil greedy executives" have been subjugated by DEI, too.
I'm guessing they can't even get startup capital without a minimum diversity score.
You're still in the trap by calling them deadweight. Deadweight implies neutrality. The issue isn't the lodestones and the dead weight, it's the million captains of the ship, all laser-focused on sailing it off a waterfall while you're trying to navigate choppy waters.
2001-2012, the Golden Age?
Not a chance. It's the Silver Age at best.
Still not coming back until the undesirables are removed, though.
That’s my thoughts. Golden age was in the 90’s.
If you go back a little into the 80's, you've got great stuff happening with Sierra, LucasArts, Origin, Microprose, Infocom, all sorts of great, smart stuff. You've also got the heydays of the NES and Sega, if you're too young to remember Atari, Coleco, Intellivision, etc. People were playing flight sims, including space flight sims.
The best sims, the best adventures, the best RPGs, all came from the 80's.
I wish Microprose would cough up Falcon 5.0 already.
Coming soon on Netflix:
the history of gaming. Starring Shaniqua Carmack, creator of Doom/Quake
Master Chief Chief Financial Officer? Automated Teller Machine Machine?
On topic, to be contrarian, it's not about them, it's about leftie activists. Gatekeep them hardcore and gaming will improve.
When I got into the game dev business in 91, the days of the NSES, it was all white men in their late 20’s. I witnessed the women coming in and the trouble they brought. Studio dynamics trouble, rather than ruining products. I’ve yet to work anywhere in the last 30ish years that had more than a few open gays on staff. The blacks, I can count only 2 over three decades, and they each had one white parent. I’ve seen 10X more worthless jewish women than I’ve seen blacks.
The problem is woke white boys that can be confused with gay in their speech and mannerisms. They are the driving force of mediocracy.
Reminder this wouldn't be a problem in an actual free market. Re-looted failed to get fund organically and only became a thing because of Mercatura Forum's Art Fund.
If you guys actually wanted to do more than complain, you'd be more proactive calling out sweet baby inc for what they've done.
Sweet Baby Inc. is a symptom of the pathological state of the industry, not the underlying cause.
The heads of studio execs need to roll.
They created the problem with the intent to profit while ,"solving " the problem they created. That sounds like some type of fraud to me. But, you're focused on the idiots who hired the people making, and ,"solving " the problem.
That's how they get away with it.
No, you get away with it by stamping Sweet Baby Inc. into the ground before they try their little race hustling routine on you.
You have no intention on doing that, you ignore the damage they are accountable for. Talking shit is half the fun of playing.
It’s not just studio execs. That’s a further symptom of an incestual upperclass of executives that go from business to business sucking the financials of each business. These execs purpose is to make the business appeal to the stock market… which is full of more incestual executives.
But we are having a golden age. The Triple Ass is the only one burning.
Indie and double A are flourishing
Like what?
REPO, Mewgentics, Arc Raiders, Peak, Rimworld, Schedule 1, Escape from Duckov. A good portion of Steam’s top sellers are indie or double A.
Thanks! I knew of Arc Raiders and Rimworld but will check out the rest
