It isn't certain how long this has been going on but I have noticed for a long time in this western culture, how hollywood and western tech companies seem to astroturf only certain type of people, specifically the only people that will disseminate the far-left talking points and wholeheartedly support the cause of democratic party. Back then I didn't have much evidence but my pattern recognition was as usual precise. Just last year we have seen how so many influencers got in trouble and it shows no sign of stopping this year.

The trouble was that most of the influencers that were intentionally propped up were not mere far-left zealots but actual mix of sociopathic and vile individuals who have no problem committing crimes if they can get away from repercussion and get benefit personally in the process. Because the only people that call out these grifters are alt-righter like Nick Fuente who recently pointed that out, Keith Wood, Jake Shield, Stew Peters and us that regularly talk about noticing, and be the right target to be slandered and deemed as conspiracy theorists by mainstream media, there was no way what we say would be taken seriously by the masses until very recently.

I was curious how deep the rabbithole went, in other words the condition of what I'm describing was going on where the true noticers get chased away and only the turncoat noticers remain in the group and I have come across this tweet. While we could surmise Joseph McCarthy was the true progenitor after WW2 that noticed the suspicious actors, I think this tweet is the definite evidence that eloquently elucidated this condition and it has been going on longer than I have expected. It really explains the current sad state of affair where far-left zealots will be what they are on the paper while the supposedly based right-wing are cuckservatives, zionists, grifters. Anyone that don't fit in any of those labels will just be misfit basement dwellers, virgin autists, incel chuds.

For the past few years, western game industry as a whole was in decline, everything around the game industry was slowly losing profit margin including the game journalism but for me the real satisfaction comes from seeing Ubisoft in final death knell. Without gamergate 2 happening last year I'm not sure the ruination of triple A game industry would have come quicker like it had.

What helped the ruin come quicker was also the arrogance of western game developers. Even after seeing Nu-Saints Row, Starfield and Redfall fail very badly, most of them didn't still get the message. They still chose to release Suicide squad meets justice capeshit game, Concord, Dustborn, Star Wars girlboss game, Silent Hill 2 remake etc because they thought they were too big to fail or something. They probably didn't anticipate so much negative feedback from gamers as a whole.

Whether these western game devs deny or not, I do think some of them lurk KotakuinAction Reddit board to gauge what the public opinions are, what they think is acceptable. The reason they don't go to big Gaming sub-reddit is they probably already are aware it is far-left echo chamber, thus I think just peeking Kotakuinaction sub-reddit is informative to measure the opinion of average gamers. Because a year ago, some of them didn't seem to mind pronouns or body type option and mods dismissing consultancy group existing in game industry as bullshit story). I think this is why western game devs as a whole were so complacent and even confident they were infallible.

This is why I give huge credit to Kabrutus for creating the steam curator whether it has Sweet baby inc attached to the games. That curator got the ball rolling with Sweetbaby staff chimping about it and game journos reeing about it. It happened in a very convenient timing when Twitter was no longer heavily censoring any dissenting voices against the far-left and there were more normies using it and finally noticing the DEI. Without that steam curator I'm not sure if it would have snowballed to avalanche as quick as it did.

I don't think Ubisoft counted on gamers suddenly realising that modern games are crap because of DEI that's why Ubisoft was completely banking on Star wars game and we was samurai game without any quality control. Western game devs were pretty complacent and quite shameless even that their games are deserving of high price tag because they believed (and to a lesser extent I also believed) western gamers in general were like this. They were absolutely taken aback the gamers would reject their games with absolute disregard. Because I know even Kiwifarm had trouble accepting modern games are crap because of DEI. And once again give thanks to Kabrutus for creating that Steam Curator. Without his action I'm not sure if things would have gone the way it is now.
