      it's always funny when the modern audience never shows up, but even if they do it's almost nobody, which means either way these games end up going broke, i guess that will teach these wokies, but no, none of them uses common sense, they always double down that these people exist, but only on twitter apparently lol, and even then most of those people are likely bots anyhow lol.
      they so desperately want to believe they are the majority of people or the most prominent or they are right, when they couldn't be more wrong.
      in my opinion, the only way of getting rid of all of this delusional nonsense is to allow each of these industries to go for broke, and from then on we start over and hopefully we never make the same mistakes ever again when that empire is built up again, no more Hollywood weirdos running things into the ground.

Also taking a dive into how ESG funds work and how they can be gamed for infinite free money on failed projects. The material is out there and readily available.

    Holy crap.

It's happening and if you don't like it you're the problem". This is an admission that GameGate was right all along.
    The strategy hasn't changed. Stop conducting all business with companies and people who hate you. Do not engage with them in any capacity. Ignore them and pretend they don't exist. If enough of us do, we won't have to pretend for long. And remember, in a capitalist free market this is our right as consumers. We aren't doing anything wrong with this strategy. We are merely exercising our consumer's rights to choose who we do and do not do business with.

    "We will try to aggressively harass you out of this space entirely."
    Yep, that's what you've been doing for over a decade. Games are for you, and for you only. If we don't want your politics shoved down our throats or your forced diversity quotas crammed into every setting, then we can get lost. If we want attractive characters or actual well-written plots, we can get lost. If we don't back every single agenda you promote, we're monsters and can hoof it.
    Oh, you'll say pretty words about how the industry is big enough to support different tastes, markets, and views. How it can be an inclusive, welcoming place... but you don't mean it. The only tastes you want included are your own. The only market you want to see served is your own. The only views that can be tolerated are your own. You're the least inclusive, least progressive people possible.
    Baldur's Gate 3 and the bear stuff? AWESOME! The message-catering character models on Hades 2? WOO!! Let's do thirst articles about how cute they are. Stellar Blade? HOW DARE THEY?!?!
    Edit addition: Bleh. Fun part? I doubt any of you will even see this comment. Half my posts get hidden by the "progressive" filters on this platform. That's the kind of "inclusive space" these kinds of people are creating. One with zero room for any dissent from their views.

    It wouldn't be a bad thing if those activist types just left the gaming industry entirely. Keza has entirely spun things on their head, it is the activists telling core gamers that what they have enjoyed and continue to enjoy is wrong. As a side note, the whole race issue is a red herring. No-one has any problem with the straight white male being a straight black male or whatever. Yes, those characters were generic, but that was entirely the point, the player is the one who brings the personality in those kinds of games. I like most kinds of games, so I like those thick narratives with cutscences that I see as a reward for beating a section of the game, but I also like games that emphasise gameplay and skill.
    Most people don't mind games they don't like existing, the problem is when activists come for what they enjoy.
