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.
-
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. -
-
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.

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.

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.

Sorry I misunderstood your stance; yes you're absolutely right
-
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".
-
Not really, all the current failures in gaming are attributed to activism in games.
Dustborn, Concord, veilguard, etc -
A bad written character is a bad written character, their dialogue could be about candies and is still a bad written character. This argument is bullshit, bad case of confirmatory bias.

You’re telling me that a bland and generic Overwatch clone with character designs that were reductive to the groups they were supposed to represent failed because of activists? The games you listed didn’t fail because of activism, they failed because their “activism” was a marketing stunt instead of being actually progressive. There are plenty of games developed by people that care about those issues where they’re represented accurately and appropriately. Those games usually do well and win awards. Making a game where you meaninglessly and inaccurately pander to minority groups is not the result of activism, it’s trying to leech off of actual activism.
