I'm bringing this up because of the latest news that Bungie is stopping live support of Destiny 2 after the next update, probably to desperately focus on Marathon. But you combine it with:
• Ubisoft circling the drain
• A game getting review bombed to hell as a link to Anita was found
• Shift Up has abandoned Sony publication just as Sony desperately try to rename woke game Fairgame$ to salvage ANY return
• Asian studios cutting ties to western studios in general
It does feel like we are reaching the endgame now where it will be 'purge the left or die' at a lot of these studios, it's just a matter of is there anything left to save in some of them?
Studios ought to be asking themselves "What are we doing here? Are we here to share inspired visions of fun and exciting worlds that millions of gamers enjoy while we profit from our hard work? Are we here to just separate gamers from their money with the least effort possible to get rich? Are we here to be social influencers that pushes messages through games?"
Any studio doing the second or third needs to gtfo.
Video game development is now a government DEI work program. Money and message are incidental compared to securing the loyalty of the useless eaters.
Yup. Western institutions are all DEI job programs now.
Burgers?
They get their ESG payments for doing exactly what the Epstein class wants. Spread their liberal propaganda while also killing the industry since White gamers are basically the last holdout and hardest for them to reach on a micro scale.
