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
They STILL trying to control their population through covid scare tactics?
What’s sad is how effectively it still works on so many kiwis. Our office manager is still a deranged mask zealot to this day 😒🤦🏼
Imagine where it’ll be a year from now 😕
Couldn’t agree more on ALL points.
The backlash against the word “woke” is because it’s so unbelievably effective against them now that their side is culturally up against the ropes for once.
Fuck them. Keep saying it
Eh, knowing Taylor I’m sure she’ll land on her back
👉👌
I want Trudeau to be blood-eagled on live television, but that wasn’t the point of my comment.
The liberal white woman is 100% the one being backstabbed, having her own stupid leftist terminology used against her. Who’s right or wrong in the situation isn’t something I was weighing in on, I was just commenting how I’ve seen this happen to well to do busybody white people for most of my life.
Trump sounded a bit low-energy
In all fairness, he was being interviewed by one of the most boring people on the internet
MIT professor
I didn’t know this, but it makes a lot of sense to me now. He’s one of those over educated stupid people. That whole thing about book smarts and street smarts. Some of the smartest people I’ve known in my lifetime have tattoos and drive tow trucks, some of the biggest dumbfucks I’ve known have 3 framed degrees on their office wall and a couple of letters after their name.
I’ve honestly never been able to sit through a full episode of Lex, no matter WHO he’s interviewing. Guy is practically dead behind the wheel, and his questions are so 2015 normie it’s painful (eg “do you think the mainstream media may REALLY BE biased?”)
It’s also hard to take him seriously when he looks like Robert Deniro fucked Mr Bean.
All “allies” will inevitably be discarded and stabbed in the back at some point.
I’m from South Africa. I’ve seen this happen to white knight liberals over and over since the mid 90’s.
Funniest part was the fact that they have a black guy assaulting asians and destroying a grocery store, and it ISNT the game’s modern day section 😆
Star Wars Outlaws was being discussed internally as "Red Dead Star Wars"
The sheer fucking hubris never fails.
That's because they wanted you, White man, to see her burning coal.
Thanks for confirming I was right not to watch that shit 👍
“Harassment & death threats 😨😱”
Every time there’s even the slightest hint of pushback, constructive criticism or light mockery. These people can’t be saved.
Too much work for the current day diversity devs to animate intricate character models like those of past Ubisoft.
The HUWHITE men they drove out of the company aren’t there to pick up the slack anymore. Same reason why their recent games are all riddled with bugs, frame rate issues and choppy sound. I watched this exact same brain drain occur in affirmative action obsessed South Africa in the mid 90’s.
Naoe’s outfit is simple because it’s made by simpler minds (who don’t belong in the job).
We had another clear example of this with that statement the Ubisoft frog put out the other day saying, “we don’t push political agendas” after a decade of lacklustre DEI propaganda and one of his company’s minions literally being a Sweet Baby Inc founder.
The narcissism with these people is always off the charts.
Yeah this is proof that some people actually get DUMBER the more they read
Maybe she just grew up outside Chernobyl 🤷🏼♂️
Don’t bother salting mine. The gaming journo’s will have us covered shortly 🧂
If you don’t like it, don’t buy it.
Ah yes, the stairway to heaven of stupid things to say. They’re setting up the bowing pins for us 🎳
It’s not just that they’ve taken us for granted. It’s that they’ve been ACTIVELY telling us we’re no longer their main concern and we should all die out and we should all fuck off for close to ten years now while they pander to the girl Spartan/lesbian Viking/black samurai/dyke ninja crowd.
The statement their CEO douchebag released yesterday was basically like, “oh we’re going to delay the game so we can polish it and ensure the graphics are super pretty (as if THATS the reason their games are failing). And don’t worry about political agendas, we have no agendas…”
First step to overcoming a problem is being able to admit what it is, and they’re not interested in doing that. They’re going to stay out of touch with their audience and Wile E Coyote themselves into another catastrophic financial flop, whether they release their dogshit game now or in Feb won’t make a difference.
Hope the people at Sucker Punch are taking notes for Ghost of Wokei
Who’s the last bitch James Bond backhanded? I think it was pretty much downhill after that…
Honestly take “death threats” with a MASSIVE pinch of salt, because these are people who believe “words are violence” 😒
I’ve yet to see a single modern game dev, community manager or voice actor ever produce even one screenshot/letter/email as proof of “death threats”
