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.
-
All of those are due to the drastic increase in jobs during covid. This is happening in many, many tech related careers. It is not because of inclusivity. Get your head out of your ass.
-
That's a factor, but it's not the only reason, jackass.
Look at the games that failed and how they were backed by activists, which led to studio closures.Ubisoft is mostly subsidized in Quebec by taxpayers, and they have their lowest profits ever because of activists as well.
-
Yea yea, it's all sweetbaby and DEI fault and not corporations being greedy hellholes that only worry about quarterly profits since forever. /s
-
Capitalism broke gaming twice already. Once in the 80s.
-
Or maybe it's because we're sick of assassin's creed n², you numpty.
Go seek to confirm your biases elsewhere -
Yeah, having a poc or queer character in your shitty video games is the biggest example activism since the Civil Rights Movement.
-
Such a moronic take based on absolutely nothing.
-
There’s only one maybe two good video games not made by capitalists (Tetris and Disco Elysium).
-
Lmaooo
Nothing to do with AC. -
Sbi needs to go back to the cave they crawled out of.
Since when were corporations NOT greedy?
It's hilarious you think that it's only now that they got greedy, lmao -
Ah yeah! Games have been free since the 80s, I completely forgot!
-
You REALLY need to look up what happened with disco Elysium then come back and use it as an example.
-
Great counter argument, lmaooo
-
That’s why it is “one or two”. The guys that made DE weren’t capitalists. The guys that published and sold DE were capitalists.
Regardless it’s an incredibly silly claim to suggest capitalism ruined video games when so few examples of good non-capitalist games exist
-
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.
-
It’s because of their shitty horrible business practices, nobody wants to pay $100 for a rushed game and nobody wants to invest time into their 500th live service game that they’ll stop supporting in a year.
-
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.
-
That only relates to the price, not how terribly the game was made.
-
Yes, there are good studios, when did I say there weren't?
Stellar blade did amazingly.
Good game, and no woke bs activists = profits -
You would have to jump through a lot of hoops to conclude that activism makes you a bad game developer. If they’re exploiting their customers constantly to try to increase profit margins, they are more than likely exploiting their workers, who they have much more control over.
