    Gee these men-children are going to be awfully sad when there’s no one left to make their games for them anymore and they have nothing left to do but face the shitty reality they’ve created.

            so you can’t tell me when.

            because you know, it’s always been that way.

            what a fucking sad life that must be to lead, to know, yet deny it with every fiber of your being because you can’t accept.

              Hey I’m going to have a discussion with you because honestly she’s kind of unhinged and needs to be back on the pole.

              Hey did you know that revenue from the gaming industry for the past 40-ish years went from 15 billion to 183 billion since 2022?

              https://www.visualcapitalist.com/video-game-industry-revenues-by-platform/

              I do wonder where on that timeline woke took down the industry.

              Hey did you know baldur’s Gate 3, full of inclusion, sold 15 million copies? They went woke and made a shit ton of money making a great game.

              https://gamingbolt.com/baldurs-gate-3-has-reportedly-sold-over-15-million-units

              Did you also know that marvel rivals, that somehow idiots think it’s woke earned 130 million in it’s first month. I mean that’s a whole other capitalism conversation but still.

              https://screenrant.com/marvel-rivals-earns-130-million-first-month/

              I don’t know, I know pigeons can’t play and shouldn’t play chess but can they pole dance?

              You don’t even want to look. You think games are failing just because or capitalism which is the dumbest, leftist excuse that you always all give when you don’t have the knowledge to see what’s truly happening.

              Enjoy living in your angry little leftist bubble echo chamber.

              Just down vote and move on. She’s just a troll with no facts or figures, she just wants your attention that Daddy never gave her growing up. It was either the pole or the troll for her.

                I provided plenty of examples and you stick your fingers in your ears to ignore it all.

        There are plenty of record breaking games that have released while the industry has been “filled with activists.” Many of them are even about politics, like Helldivers 2.

          Yes, there are good studios, when did I say there weren’t?

          Stellar blade did amazingly. Good game, and no woke bs activists = profits

            Stellar Blade had a stripper as a player character, and that itself created a meta dialogue about how every other video game doesn’t

              Have you even played the game? No, because you’re still crying that your activist games didn’t sell well.

              Play stellar blade and realize that it’s a fantastic game, combat wise and design wise.

        Yeah, having a poc or queer character in your shitty video games is the biggest example activism since the Civil Rights Movement.

          It’s more about the messaging. The mere presence of a POC or trans character isn’t bothersome to most people. But when that character comes with dialogue lines that make the political messaging obvious, then they’re no longer a character that happens to be non-White or trans; they’re a political prop inserted into a game to send a political message, and that can be quite irksome when all you’re trying to do is play a fantasy RPG and escape from the world for a bit, even if you actually agree with the message.

            Exactly. Don’t lecture us about being trans or etc.

            We honestly don’t care. (Yes, a small percentage of people are actually bigots and hate gays/trans for being who they are). The rest of us just don’t want it shoved down our throats.

            It’s like making a game and having the main character proclaiming: “look how straight I am! Wow I sure do love women! I’m so straight and anyone who isn’t should do pushups”.

              The rest of us just don’t want it shoved down our throats.

              and when you put storytelling of any kind that way, it tells me who you really are.

              no one is shoving anything down your throat sweetie, you paid your money for a game before checking it out. that’s your mistake, not the devs.

                You completely missed the point just so you can keep your ears and eyes closed.
