They can code but not very well, they are either diversity hires or people who got into the game during 2020 and lucked out. Nowadays interviews are much harder and these morons never upskilled themselves, probably fail fizzbuzz.
>gdc
knew these activists posting as devs were exactly that, never subbed to their channel despite being ideal for dev tutorials cause I dont want woke creeping into MY games, good riddance frick off.
oh and if you wanted my sympathy maybe you shouldn't have literally called me a terrorist last week the us government who fund them and everything else that has forced its way into being a problem for all gamers everywhere except korea.
Do weeb morons need to be reminded that the top selling games of last year were primarily western? Or that the current most popular game on the board is western? All weebs should be shot
If the nipponese games get Amerisharted I'll just stop buying them.
I have a backlog of good old games large enough to last my entire lifetime.
I spit on modern developers. Most new games are not even worth pirating.
Unfortunate thing about this is that Japan is usually behind when trying to appeal to western moronation. If by some miracle western studios finally stop being moronic, Japan won't get the memo at least until a decade later and they're gonna make similar mistakes. Though if the western industry completely shits the bed and crashes, Japan will get the memo faster.
The best thing to do if you are against dei, is to take the dei positions and do nothing but take the companies money. The roles are such a joke and the pay associated is doesn't match reality, with some getting over 100k USD.
I haven't bought a game in years. I pretty much just emulate everything now and if I'm not emulating I'm playing a 10 year old PC game. Really the only AAA series I still buy near release is GTA and I don't even like that really, I just buy it to see the technical advancements.
"why is it that terrorists only go after civilian targets like airports and trains and never federal agencies or the government" - me every time there is another "isis" shooting
the point of terrorist attacks is to inspire terror. nobody would give a shit about glowies and government stooges getting shot. In fact many would probably cheer
>noo you can't just stand on grass and be upset about being fired from your means of livelihood you should get fired to death with a gun
wtf is wrong with you
Protesters rarely worth respect. They find some bullshit to complain about and use that as an excuse to harass people and ruin their day. And those are just “peaceful” protesters too. Few dozen people died during the George Floyd protests, killed by the protesters, who also tried killing a minor, and also causes millions in property damage.
Oh and protesters on here who protest woke games are labeled as terrorists, with many of these devs calling us economic terrorists for not buying their shitty games.
Mass layoffs happened at successful studios too you know? Thats not to imply it’s some sort of evil that caused them, rather just poor mismanagement and bad market predictions after COVID saw a boom in gaming due to the entire first world being stuck at home. So games got overbudgeted and overhired. So now that the dumb virus is basically dead, all these hires are superfluous. The good news is, this is the first step to AAA crashing and western studios beginning to diversify in number. Maybe we’ll see the return of the AA as publishers start taking on more indies.

Curious. I've got one of those too, do you take this as fact or do you only do that when it says something you already believe?
literally no different from what game journos are doing in their own articles and what happened during metoo. except this time there's a mountain of evidence AND an actual harassment campaign coming from journos and SBI allies.

Don't spread misinformation.

then why is it so hard for anyone ITT to post one single piece of it?
If you have GankerX installed, then click on yandex to do a reverse image search. Yandex is capable of pulling text out of images. From there, you just highlight a piece of the text, search it, and see what site it pulls up. It appears the source is here: https://thatparkplace.com/former-team-lead-for-world-of-warcraft-mark-kern-explains-how-esg-influences-video-game-developers-and-how-it-will-kill-them/
Although, the screenshot the anon posted has a different formatting to the text. Which is odd. He possibly edited the page in order to obscure the source. Why would he be afraid of revealing his sources? I don't know what "thatparkplace" is, but it seems the anon is ashamed to display he got information from there. May be worth looking into.
Thank you, I know damn well it's not a coincidence he cropped out the article title, author, and website it's hosted on. It's also not a coincidence that when you point this out they get incredibly defensive and whine about "spoonfeeding"
the most recent wave of layoff happened on parasites studios that haven't released anything of values in years. Whenever they say "they cancelle that totally awesome project we were doing" it means "it was in dev hell for years and didn't show any sign of going better".
Obviously people here have different opinions on what counts as "successful", but you're not wrong. Yeah seeing people lose their jobs isn't the greatest thing to see (unless they deserve it!), but I don't get why people are shocked that it's happening considering what happened that past couple of years.
People are shocked because they have zero real knowledge of the industry or its workings and how they mesh with other industries and businesses. Federal interest rate cuts make AAA unviable and cause a mass shrink of western game dev in general, along with ripple effects across all the rest of venture capitalism and financial investment? Well clearly it was because they took that dirty israelite ESG money and now they're getting just desserts and they're sorting the wheat from the chaff and it's gonna be so based when straight hwite men get back into game dev u guise. Not even any curiosity about how this is impacting other sectors of development like CG/special effects studios or music production, just braindead dismissal of the whole thing as "they weren't talented anyways" and other dumb cope.
>Not even any curiosity about how this is impacting other sectors
Nobody cares. Not even the people that buy the latest slop would care much if every western game studio suddenly died today. This industry is being saved by the economic crisis brought about by pinko leftist politics and ESG. Frick them all.
none of those people "make game" they are community managers, culture councellors and fake jobs altogether, they WISH game dev was something else but programmers, but it never took off.

it's a way to artificially inflate the quarterly numbers
if you make a bunch of money and fire everyone then you save on costs
it's just a way to scam investors with short term returns that will tank the company
if you don't have the skills to go indie and make games without the billion dollar support structure of AAA studios then you didn't have the talent to be a game dev in the first place
oh, the directionbrain is mad he was called out. He doesn't know how to respond to "his side" praying to God to change votes so he tries sweeping it aside. Directionbrains, heh.

>People don't need to understand the intricacies of ESG related funding, they just need to understand that when said funding is involved, the product is absolute dogshit.
This doesn't actually make any sense when I read it. It's a funding guideline nobody is actually beholden to follow. "ESG funding" doesn't mean anything, you're using it like it's coming from one source and it's... not. ESG is a guideline followed by many investors.
You started sucking yourself off about da joos being ineffective and simple facts (that aren't true and don't make any sense), so I think you're mostly here to argue with yourself and parrot Ganker-/misc/ memes you heard once.
it can't actually force them to adopt that agenda so this is a moot point >so if you don't hire sweet baby you won't get investment for your games and the media will smear you
what the frick is running through your mind
Filter "sweetbaby", "DEI", "ESG", "leftist" and "SBI" and you'll have a better time. Actually filter out "troony" and all derivatives too since the mods filtered soi but not troony for some reason.
What exactly do these devs think this is going to accomplish? I doubt the executives of game companies are going to are about this. Regular people will just think these people are acting like jackasses. Doesn't seem to really accomplish anything.
If they just want to vent, fair enough. There are healthier ways to go about doing it.
Why didnt they just unionize? If theyre regular employees not contracted from outside the company, they probably got paid severance. They all got a year of pay after getting laid off. They should have negotiated better contracts and unionized.
Like what? Not consenting to them? The USA has a law that forces corporations to conduct good faith negotiate with any union that has managed to gain the support of at least half the workforce, as long as the union also negotiated in good faith. Failing to unionise with such government protection isn't evidence that unions are being suppressed. Workers simply don't want to unionise. Otherwise they could just sign a petition and get the government to protect them.
>as long as the union also negotiated in good faith.
And theres the magic words companies use to lobby the government to be their attack dog and side with them. Miraculously every single demonstration and union never argues in good faith according to the govt.
You don't hear about the vast majority of labour disputes. That's because most of the time, the unions get by just fine negotiating in good faith. The times that they get sued for unfair practices, it's ALWAYS because they did something bewilderingly moronic like blocking traffic, sabotaging equipment, or intimidating another company's workers. These are crimes. They are not necessary to conducting a strike. A strike should consist of workers simply not working. They don't even have to leave their homes to accomplish this. Just don't do stupid things, and the union will get by fine.
It's like they took that pedantic virtue signalling and infantilism that defines their online existence and are attempting to apply it to maintaining a career in the real world. It's fricking pathetic, these governmental teat suckers really have no control over their emotions or their lives.
Benzodiazepines are really dangerous, if you take them for a week straight you'll risk death if you stop without a month or two of tapering. Prescriptions of the stuff shouldn't be allowed in quantities higher than three days worth, but a physical dependency that can literally kill you is just too profitable.
The simplest way to break a physical dependency is to be put into an artificial coma with anesthesia for a few days while being attended to by doctors who can make sure that you don't die during this time, but anesthesia exposure longer than even a couple hours always incurs significant irrecoverable brain damage. Nobody admits to this but it's very commonly observed in people who undergo long surgeries.

not necessarily, there are a lot of people that work much better in a large organization. Of course, they are functionally obsolete now, but it doesn't mean that they're lazy. It's just difficult to change as a person. Being light on your feet professionally is very rare
Those are just a batch of leftist safe employees whose work consisted of the most lower of low tier managements and hr.
They are worthless just as their ideology.

Honestly I wish they were lined up against a wall and shot by patriots, but realistically it seems they'll simply be discarded by the corporate masters they worship, or by their own during a cannibalistic crawl to what positions are left. Either way, as always the Bolsheviks turn on their own before their enemies.

I kind of wonder if that's the point, to show the lists itself mean jackshit whether you slap good or bad sticker on it since it's still up to the buyers to not buy shitty games and the Sweet Baby employee response only Streisand effected it into popularity, let's take a quick glance at who made this list- >"Mostly as a troll response" >kyubey pfp >canadian >just moving through life lol

wow. Thanks sweetbaby for doxxing themselves I guess. I will now follow this list as well in case the original one missed a few games. And no, I will not buy or play any of those games 🙂

Some company makes shit games so some Brazilian guy made a steam curator list of those games and the company decided to have their shit employees harass and report the Brazilian only to get buttfricked and now they're saying they never harassed and reported him and are pretending it didn't happen also conveniently an organization funded by homeland insecurity is saying gamers are now terrorists so.......that's what I've heard anyway as well as mass layoffs in the gaming Industry

Totally false, anon.
What really happened: >Steam user created a group to warn people about Sweet Baby >company employees immediately go into total destruction mode and try to launch activists against the guy to censor him and if possible, destroy his Steam account by making him lose all his games. >The pathetic cancellation attempt backfires and immediately tens of thousands of people sympathize with the guy and join his group to show solidarity against the insane corporation that threatened him.
And since the world today is completely fricked, the left immediately aligns itself with the corporations and starts making hit pieces to fight the people on behalf of a tiny parasitic elite.
As always, the motto is: "the people are bad, corporations are good", "the people are bad, the elite are good", "the people are the oppressors, the elite are the victims", etc.
>the left immediately aligns itself with the corporations
Ganker is some kind of bizarro place where people will try and ascribe positions traditionally held by right-wingers to left-wingers and STILL think only in terms of political directional warfare while spouting baby's first class-warfare theory
Are rot just being fictitious on purpose? These people don't hide their positions. They are very verbose about their ideals and what they have planned. You can't "gaslight" when your players are all out in the open about everything.
Which is of course why I hear about how vocal "these people" are on fricking Ganker and pretty much nowhere else, nevermind that it's a board that's adopted 2012 Tumblr feminist language like "gaslighting" and added it to the anti-SJW repertoire

It's in every digital space at this point, especially any social media. Are you just obtuse or extremely selective in what you curate to read about? I'm even seeing articles on Google home page. Yes the language has changed, as it always does. Tumblr broke out and infected everywhere else online, that's not news. Ganker, being the Speakeasy it is, is where people come to air out what they can't say in spaces like Twitter. Its a steam pipe, one where moderation is still subversive but at least less extreme than say Reddit. What you see posted is a product of the environment.

Another interesting thing they discovered, and which your post clearly demonstrates, is that leftists are often incapable of understanding the rightist point of view, and when he tries to "replicate" it, he does so in the most moronic and stereotypical way possible, while the opposite is not the true, that is, the right-winger is able to understand the left-winger's position much better and replicate it without completely missing the point.
Your post is an example of this. You are triggered when someone says that the left immediately aligns itself with the corporations and the elite against the people, something that is easily observable ("useful-idiot" is a terms traditionally used for leftists), but you refuse to believe it because in your simplistic view of the world it is the right that aligns itself with the corporations and that's it...
>Another interesting thing they discovered, and which your post clearly demonstrates, is that leftists
AND FOR MY NEXT TRICK I WILL BEAT THE DEAD HORSE
He’s also acts like that specific observation is new and hasn’t been around since inception. Marx’s contemporary left wing critics were literally all about “well holy frick this is going to be co-opted by corporate”. It’s not some new or shocking revelation. The thing about what is construed as “leftist” ideology is that in truth it’s more capitalist, or pro-corporation, than capitalism itself. The reason for this is capitalism is perfectly capable of failing itself, whereas leftism will never falter in strengthening the capitalist status quo. It was created by capital, for capital, and will remain so. It’s simply a dead end ideological trap for the youth to use rebellious sentiment for the benefit of the system.
They also don’t understand that the people critical of them were once in their own shoes, who fell for the same lies, who exhibited their same behavior. This is primarily due to youth.
It’s also the same guy who writes “direction brain” but only against right wig talking points. Never once have I see him say direction brain when it comes to grooming children or other left wing bullshit. And each time he’s surprised that he gets found out and called out. Without fail.
Yes, the little "detail" I added is that it was a movement of solidarity by the majority of ordinary people in favor of a guy who was being threatened by a corporation whose role is to shove the vision of the establishment and the intelligentsia down the throats of the people.
>The pathetic cancellation attempt backfires and immediately tens of thousands of people sympathize with the guy and join his group to show solidarity against the insane corporation that threatened him.
I thought it was because Asmongold made a video about Sweet Baby and linked the Steam Group
and then they failed to cancel him cause its asmongold.

Without the later, the former would never have existed.

>showed the video of the CEO admitting to threatening companies
Nobody with a brain took this seriously, Sweetbaby does not have that clout; it's highly improbable to even suggest they do with their company size and their income. You can make the case they bullied the developers of South of Midnight or other no-name stuff they list as work, you lose credibility when you try to make the case they've bullied Sony or Valve Software.
what do you think threatening means here? do you think they held up a baseball bat and said they were going to break their windows and their kneecaps if they didn't comply?
no, they're implying that if the companies don't hire their services, then ESG will cut their funding, and their media buddies will write smear articles.
it's a very serious threat, and if you can't see that then you have no brain yourself.
What do you even mean by "ESG"? You have no idea what ESG is, you think it's an existing entity that can throw money according to its own whims. It is a financial investment standard propped up by the United Nations, it is a guideline, it is not an entity in and of itself. You don't know what ESG is. Shut up about it.

>People don't need to understand the intricacies of ESG related funding, they just need to understand that when said funding is involved, the product is absolute dogshit.
This doesn't actually make any sense when I read it. It's a funding guideline nobody is actually beholden to follow. "ESG funding" doesn't mean anything, you're using it like it's coming from one source and it's... not. ESG is a guideline followed by many investors.
You started sucking yourself off about da joos being ineffective and simple facts (that aren't true and don't make any sense), so I think you're mostly here to argue with yourself and parrot Ganker-/misc/ memes you heard once.

Nothing immediately. Risks are defined as typically being litigation, fines and sanctions, but that's for unlawful behavior in the first place. It's the investor's money, they are able to put it where they want and reap any consequences that result. You don't actually have to follow ESG.

Filter "sweetbaby", "DEI", "ESG", "leftist" and "SBI" and you'll have a better time. Actually filter out "troony" and all derivatives too since the mods filtered soi but not troony for some reason.
Gotta love those desperate attempts. You get wienerblocked out of massive funding and lending opportunities if you don't adhere to the ESG guidelines. It's indirect blackmail. This isn't some redneck conspiracy theory, it's been proven with facts time and time again. The israelite fink himself openly admits to forcing people.

Are you fricking moronic? Getting some incredibly cheap money IS forcing them to take it. It would be detrimental for them not to, because it would put them at a disadvantage against everyone that took it. Do you understand the basics of capitalism? Do you understand that the source and cost of funding directly impact a companies operations?
The idea that you find nothing wrong with companies with government ties like Blackrock literally funding companies for following the same political guidelines that are pushed by academia, mass media and actual politicians, proves what an enourmous mental midget you are.
thing is companies operate by “playbooks” and not explicit threats, they’ve been given signals about diversity and if they don’t comply the eeoc israelites might come after them, it’s why every big corporation moves in stride
>if you dont do what we want we'll smear you in the mainstream media that already lost all respect from anyone with a brain ten years ago

I'm sure there's more stuff that's gone on in the /misc/ threads, but I don't really care to browse them.
Damage control israelites playing it down as usual.
300k members in the sweet baby detected group is amazing and will cause them massive loss of revenue. Since the people that bother to follow curators are the same ones that buy more games. So the less sales they get the bigger the loss.
And as some articles that have been spammed on Ganker and /misc/ said, people not buying ESG shit wiped out billions in market value in the past few years, causing investors to slowly back up on the free money lending, it definitely has an effect.
To all anons that can't be arsed to follow the drama: It's basically more people noticing diversity shit in games and warning others of game having loads of it included. And it's widespread enough to actually hurt their sales and the entire woke reeducation bullshit. Hence he panic.

the obsession with Sweet Baby Inc is kind of lame because it makes it seem as if that's the only entity doing it. It's literally the industry as a whole. "Wokeims" is the beating heart of it. For things to change they'd have to burn it all and start from the start.
the BR that runs the group is also busy torpedoing any credibility he has by demanding a prerelease copy of the game and meetings with the developers to vet it, he's blown his own cover and his real interest is he's mad he isn't sweetbaby himself
>by demanding a prerelease copy of the game
He put their game on the list because SBI is listed in the dev list. Its the job of the devs to prove SBI had no involvement, not the mutts.
This Brazilian guy made a curator group on Steam listing the games that a consulting from Sweet Baby Inc. (SBI for short) worked on and this caused one of their employees to throw a shit fit, which only brought more attention. After that people started talking about it here and shills started defending them and the jannies started deleting and moving threads to /misc/. However the damage is already done and more and more people are finding out about them every day.
>small "narrative improvement" DEI consulting firm has a hand in a bunch of recent high profile flops >people start NOOTICING >some favela monkey makes a steam curator page listing every game that said consulting firm was involved with >it's literally just a list of games they worked on, most of which were pulled directly from their official website >consulting firm's employees get pissed and start ranting about the list, demand steam remove it and ban the guy that made it >journoscum start writing about the chud conspiracy to harass women >streisand effect kicks into full gear >steam group now has over 300k followers >everyone laughs at the sweet baby morons seething on twitter >jannies are homosexuals (nothing new)
if it really is goober grape 2, then it's SBI and the journos freaking out about it that are making it that way. it really wouldn't be as big of a deal if they didn't draw attention to it
same as some small rag giving favourable review scores to some text adventure, it is the strang conspiratorial screechign from the media that is making it into a big deal
I read one about a controversial hypothesis where the guys believe that about half the humans on the planet today are "dysgenic" and shouldn't exist. The idea is that the "natural" infant mortality rate in humans is around 50%, so we should already come into the world with a severe natural selection where half of the babies and very young children would die before becoming viable. These people, who under normal conditions would be eliminated, are alive today, and as a result we see adults screaming like babies in protests.
For those wondering why some gamers do these weird harassment or hate campaigns, it’s because video games are unfortunately all they have, and have nothing going for them professionally, academically, or romantically. No normal person with responsibilities would waste their time on insane stuff like this.
That's a poor imitation of a bunkerfreak. Good on you for using one of their DEI approved "insults" though. "PolSkin" is so unbelievably sterile and inoffensive only a student taking intro to Social studies could come up with it.
/pol/ack at least has history, but coming up with goofy slur at all is just the same juvenile antics expected from Ganker/Reddit/Tumblr/Twitter shit flinging. Might as well just lay the cards on the table and say "/pol/itical enemies" at this point.
kek, weren't US unions literally mafia dudes killing people and blowing shit up?
The funny thing is these dudes could basically do a real strike, since all of their companies already laid off the redundant employees, who's gonna work if they stop working? There's nobody left. But no, they decided to scream like little b***hes, accomplishing nothing.
>Can you imagine being a normal person working at a AAA studio
No, I can't. AAA studio workers are heartless gremlins and freaks who take pride in making shitty games that cost way too much.
normal people don't like video games. there are no "normal" game developers, they would just work in a bank instead for double the pay and half the work
>Can you imagine being a normal person working at a AAA studio
no >nowadays
no but instead of highly focused autists who want to make video games you get diversity woke shit and people drinking onions products and sleeping in their soft rooms full of shit they dont need to work on a video game, this is why people respected the japanese devs up until recently who have now fallen to blackrock aswell.
Stuff like this really makes you realize how much the civil rights and hippy movements destroyed the American mind
It basically tricked Americans into thinking they could achieve something by just standing around and being angry
I work in the animation industry and this has only made it harder to get a job and I'm european. A lot of the people fired deserve it though, but I chose the worst possible time to leave my previous job. Frick
This is why I think game development, like all art, should be done as a hobby. Nothing kills your enthusiasm for something quite like making it your full-time job.
Spending 7 hours on Reddit/Twitter with 1 hour on Stack Overflow to copy&paste code isn’t hard work.
And those are the hardest working “game developers” at this protest.
it's hard to believe now but activision was founded to create a publisher independent from gambling, and "electronic arts" was created to shift the focus of video games marketing to the developers, the early EA boxes included signed forewords by the developers about the games.
it's time to have a "new wave" of independent publishers to dissociate from the industry gambling rot yet again
Magnificent. I would like for them all to be killed but things are still to comfortable for anyone to be the first to fire. I take solice in knowing their money laundering scheme is falling apart, at the least
i really liked gdc's post-mortem panels. Some of them gave interesting insight into gamedev and specific games. Do they even do that anymore or is it just a non-stop corpo suck-off fest?

reminder that this "identity politics" shit was psyopped into the mainstream in 2013 as a measure to fracture occupy wallstreet.
the reaction to this shit is having people come around again and look at the money and where it's coming and going now. There honestly needs to be more discussion.
Jesus that’s bad, genuinely worse than I expected. Even a lot of the ones that aren’t highlighted sound pretty awful. And how are you supposed to write cyberpunk without cyborgs? Wtf?
Unironically they should just prove their own value by finding other people that want to do more than complain at the convention and spend the weekend pitching to eachother and drawing some concept art for a Kickstarter indie studio.
you ever wonder why it's politically motivated morons of either direction trying to wrestle control over a fricking entertainment sector that keep telling you that
whether it's some sweatshirt wearing yuppie on a developer's conference stage or a sweaty fat /misc/tard on an imageboard telling you to be afraid
because they don't control the narrative at all and that horrifies them. the yuppie wants you to believe they do and the /misc/tard believes they do and wants you to fight it
neither of these people actually control the larger narrative and go ignored by the 99% of the rest of people that play a fricking video game and don't think any harder about it

Filter "sweetbaby", "DEI", "ESG", "leftist" and "SBI" and you'll have a better time. Actually filter out "troony" and all derivatives too since the mods filtered soi but not troony for some reason.
We've had filtered words since then, "soi" going to "onions" was a moment or two before God of War released in 2018. "cumbrain" was filtered for a while too in response to somebody spamming it across a bunch of boards
No filter all that too since that's common in all the threads where the left-related spam is. Nobody uses "chud" except memelords and frogposters arguing with themselves

Well, to all those people losing their jobs. Thank God you all avoided oversharing your political opinions and only focused on giving consumers a top quality product at a reasonable price.
It may have been tough but it sure is a good thing that you have been building up good will amongst your customer base so that now in your time of need they will be willing to follow and support you in future endevors and support your new projects knowing they can trust you.
Can you imagine what it would have been like if you spent the last decade attacking your customer base?
Where do gamers go to protest Project Zomboid's lack of NPCs over a decade into Early Access? It's one of Steam's top selling games don't tell me a protest wouldn't be relevant.
People are cheering because there are a lot of people in the industry who are liabilities. You can’t deny that. Unfortunately, some good devs might have been fired unjustly.
They're cheering because they're fricking idiots who've convinced themselves with no argument that everybody laid off was a liability and they have zero knowledge or curiosity about the market and investment reasons for the layoffs.
You do understand we're mostly talking about AAA western games which aren't known for high quality margins in the first place. The lowest common denominator of video games shoveled out by the biggest companies for the highest mass appeal

Because it's not about the games. Just like the Bolsheviks, they must infest every institution. There must be no "counter force" if they have their way.
Because they can't create, they're scavengers. Two different mindsets, the dichotomy of which is the main fractionalization of the world right now.
Scavengers go around looking for shit that's lying around or growing on trees. They find it, they slop it up, they move on. Finders keepers.
Creators look at the land, notice patterns, test some things, remember, observe, implement, and then after hard work and testing they have a farm that is carefully cultivated to grow tons of nutritious crops.
When scavengers see this, they assume it's a magic plot of land these people just found. The idea that it is created and maintained by their very careful planned out actions is unthinkable to scavengers because they're moronic so everyone else must be too. This is a magic plot of land that happens to grow a lot of food and these creators just happened to find it by luck which isn't fair. They force the creators, the ones who know how to maintain the land, out and take the magic land for themselves.
They proceed to shit it up in every way possible and stare dumbfounded as to why it's no longer producing the food it used to, then somehow find a way to blame the creators for this.
Anybody you hear complaining about hierarchy, privilege, colonialism, equity, inclusiveness, systemic oppression, etc. is a scavenger.
The whole debacle with Alec Holowka was a really good example of this, if you've ever seen the whiny blogpost his coworker Scott Benson put out after he was driven to suicide. In it he pretty much admits he did very little work willingly and that Alec was the creative driving force that finished the game. And after using him up, they led a witch hunt against him until he killed himself, took over the studio, and used to push the same ideology that killed him.
i've been a patriotic american for 30 years and i've never been so happy to see my country BTFO in something by euros and japs. you get what you fricking deserve. hopefully we can start healing after all this shit crashes
>Game dev protes >More like BlackRock-ANTIFA meltdown.
This is the consequence that resulted from their moronation and gay-porn tier ideology they hold dear.
They literally managed to collapse a multi-billion dollar industry to the ground with both Boomer pension and Government funds and are now complaining that they are out of what many here would have considered a DREAM JOB back in the day before they sharted-up the place with their STD-ridden $0¥ diarrhea.
The good(wishful thinking) news is that maybe the industry will be atomized again like in the 90s, just small studios with each studio having only 5 white dudes making a real game, While these champagne-commie homosexuals go to the only place they belong: the gay porn industry to make communist porno-biographic movies about them starving farmers to death while they frick and knit at the same time.
In the long-term... FRICK THEM!
Wow, there is no testosterone present in that photo at all. I genuinely hope they live the rest of their lives turning tricks for onions latte money in the gutter
the same thing is happening in the world of IT and I could't be eating that shit up even more, for years those little homosexuals would demand a golden spoon and 99999$ or they walk, now that india is replacing them, they are all getting laid off and crying about it, even long tenure positions are being lost to indians so you get what you deserve you smug ass homosexuals
I'm actually curious what most of these layoffs did at their work. As other Anons have said if they actually cared they could easily band together from the amount that got the boot and create a small indie company. So why don't they?
because they have made it illegal to exclusively hire white/asian male employees
the chud studio would quickly get ripped apart by israeli lawyers and anti racist activists

Centuries ago, these were the most impoverished peasants at the lowest part of the societal totem poll meant to act as loosely armored conscripts with nothing but shitty spears in times of war.

Only japaneses can develop good game (and consoles)
Do weeb morons need to be reminded that the top selling games of last year were primarily western? Or that the current most popular game on the board is western? All weebs should be shot
what happened to the blackrock money?
If Japan didn't exist I basically wouldn't play video games aside from like "Counter Strike" or "Overwatch".
Eastern Europe makes an ok game every decade or so
All of the new games I've bought so far this year are Nipponese, I absolutely loathe and despise everything about modern western "culture"
Things are spreading fast.
If the nipponese games get Amerisharted I'll just stop buying them.
I have a backlog of good old games large enough to last my entire lifetime.
I spit on modern developers. Most new games are not even worth pirating.
I share the exact same sentiments. the modern vidya industry can go frick itself, they've eroded all goodwill
It has been amerisharted, see capcom’s leak and DD2 being giga slop
Unfortunate thing about this is that Japan is usually behind when trying to appeal to western moronation. If by some miracle western studios finally stop being moronic, Japan won't get the memo at least until a decade later and they're gonna make similar mistakes. Though if the western industry completely shits the bed and crashes, Japan will get the memo faster.
The best thing to do if you are against dei, is to take the dei positions and do nothing but take the companies money. The roles are such a joke and the pay associated is doesn't match reality, with some getting over 100k USD.
Doing this right now while sitting at home and posting on Ganker tbqh
I haven't bought a game in years. I pretty much just emulate everything now and if I'm not emulating I'm playing a 10 year old PC game. Really the only AAA series I still buy near release is GTA and I don't even like that really, I just buy it to see the technical advancements.
Only western games I've played this year are Helldivers 2 and weird autist sim-lite games like Gunner Heat PC and Nuclear Option.

Protesters rarely worth respect. They find some bullshit to complain about and use that as an excuse to harass people and ruin their day. And those are just “peaceful” protesters too. Few dozen people died during the George Floyd protests, killed by the protesters, who also tried killing a minor, and also causes millions in property damage.
Oh and protesters on here who protest woke games are labeled as terrorists, with many of these devs calling us economic terrorists for not buying their shitty games.

make better games and you won't get fired, simple as
Mass layoffs happened at successful studios too you know? Thats not to imply it’s some sort of evil that caused them, rather just poor mismanagement and bad market predictions after COVID saw a boom in gaming due to the entire first world being stuck at home. So games got overbudgeted and overhired. So now that the dumb virus is basically dead, all these hires are superfluous. The good news is, this is the first step to AAA crashing and western studios beginning to diversify in number. Maybe we’ll see the return of the AA as publishers start taking on more indies.
no, not a single one of those so called "successful studios" made good games

Fricking irrelevant hasbeen.
He said the thing I wanted him to, so now I'm gonna highlight it and post it around Ganker for four months.
>text on a white page
>no author
>no title
>no website name
>no possible way to look this article up and read the whole thing
Curious. I've got one of those too, do you take this as fact or do you only do that when it says something you already believe?
literally no different from what game journos are doing in their own articles and what happened during metoo. except this time there's a mountain of evidence AND an actual harassment campaign coming from journos and SBI allies.
>t-they're doing it too!
>t-there's a mountain of evidence!
So why not share it? Why share words in a text document instead?
>It's only misinfo if it's used against us
It's misinfo when you post a white page with text on it and no way for anybody to verify where those words are coming from. You said you have mountains of evidence, should be pretty easy to post just one single link to one shred of evidence.
>S-SPOONFEED ME
>p-please ignore that our sites and archive.org were scrubbed extremely recently
>and that every journo released a defense article for sbi instantly after getting exposed
>and that their discord collaborating on the articles was also exposed
frick off, shill. the archived evidence on all of this is everywhere.
>spoonfeeding
This implies there's any possible way for me to find out where the words in
came from or who wrote it or on what website. There isn't.
>It's everywhere
then why is it so hard for anyone ITT to post one single piece of it?
If you have GankerX installed, then click on yandex to do a reverse image search. Yandex is capable of pulling text out of images. From there, you just highlight a piece of the text, search it, and see what site it pulls up. It appears the source is here: https://thatparkplace.com/former-team-lead-for-world-of-warcraft-mark-kern-explains-how-esg-influences-video-game-developers-and-how-it-will-kill-them/
Although, the screenshot the anon posted has a different formatting to the text. Which is odd. He possibly edited the page in order to obscure the source. Why would he be afraid of revealing his sources? I don't know what "thatparkplace" is, but it seems the anon is ashamed to display he got information from there. May be worth looking into.
Thank you, I know damn well it's not a coincidence he cropped out the article title, author, and website it's hosted on. It's also not a coincidence that when you point this out they get incredibly defensive and whine about "spoonfeeding"
sauce, too lazy to google it myself.
>lazy
I'm not even lazy, how am I supposed to google it? There's no author or title in the picture.
Type one of the sentences ad verbatim in quotes on Google.
It's from That Park Place, a transcript of a youtube interview with Mark Kern.
the most recent wave of layoff happened on parasites studios that haven't released anything of values in years. Whenever they say "they cancelle that totally awesome project we were doing" it means "it was in dev hell for years and didn't show any sign of going better".
Those devs wouldn't have a job in the first place if it wasn't for covid so it evens out.
Obviously people here have different opinions on what counts as "successful", but you're not wrong. Yeah seeing people lose their jobs isn't the greatest thing to see (unless they deserve it!), but I don't get why people are shocked that it's happening considering what happened that past couple of years.
People are shocked because they have zero real knowledge of the industry or its workings and how they mesh with other industries and businesses. Federal interest rate cuts make AAA unviable and cause a mass shrink of western game dev in general, along with ripple effects across all the rest of venture capitalism and financial investment? Well clearly it was because they took that dirty israelite ESG money and now they're getting just desserts and they're sorting the wheat from the chaff and it's gonna be so based when straight hwite men get back into game dev u guise. Not even any curiosity about how this is impacting other sectors of development like CG/special effects studios or music production, just braindead dismissal of the whole thing as "they weren't talented anyways" and other dumb cope.
>Not even any curiosity about how this is impacting other sectors
Nobody cares. Not even the people that buy the latest slop would care much if every western game studio suddenly died today. This industry is being saved by the economic crisis brought about by pinko leftist politics and ESG. Frick them all.
none of those people "make game" they are community managers, culture councellors and fake jobs altogether, they WISH game dev was something else but programmers, but it never took off.
it's a way to artificially inflate the quarterly numbers
if you make a bunch of money and fire everyone then you save on costs
it's just a way to scam investors with short term returns that will tank the company
most corporations are about 50% overstaffed and benefit from a 10% layoff of dead weight every once in a while
Good games are nazi propaganda, chud.
These people truly are children
I really want society to collapse so they will be wiped out
imagine the SMELL
Uhhh what about the pandemic!?!

Imagine our ancestors looming down on these horrors
if you don't have the skills to go indie and make games without the billion dollar support structure of AAA studios then you didn't have the talent to be a game dev in the first place
Learn to code.
Reminds me of the libcucks screaming at the sky when orange man won the election.
>These people are supposed to be mentally okay
See
Surely you're not a direction brained moron who thinks the mentally ill belong to all one American political party?
>no u!
Such a typical limpwrist response lol
oh, the directionbrain is mad he was called out. He doesn't know how to respond to "his side" praying to God to change votes so he tries sweeping it aside. Directionbrains, heh.
>I said it first so nothing else is true
Such a typical moron response lol
What exactly do these devs think this is going to accomplish? I doubt the executives of game companies are going to are about this. Regular people will just think these people are acting like jackasses. Doesn't seem to really accomplish anything.
If they just want to vent, fair enough. There are healthier ways to go about doing it.
Why didnt they just unionize? If theyre regular employees not contracted from outside the company, they probably got paid severance. They all got a year of pay after getting laid off. They should have negotiated better contracts and unionized.
American corps do everything in their power to prevent unions.
Like what? Not consenting to them? The USA has a law that forces corporations to conduct good faith negotiate with any union that has managed to gain the support of at least half the workforce, as long as the union also negotiated in good faith. Failing to unionise with such government protection isn't evidence that unions are being suppressed. Workers simply don't want to unionise. Otherwise they could just sign a petition and get the government to protect them.
>as long as the union also negotiated in good faith.
And theres the magic words companies use to lobby the government to be their attack dog and side with them. Miraculously every single demonstration and union never argues in good faith according to the govt.
You don't hear about the vast majority of labour disputes. That's because most of the time, the unions get by just fine negotiating in good faith. The times that they get sued for unfair practices, it's ALWAYS because they did something bewilderingly moronic like blocking traffic, sabotaging equipment, or intimidating another company's workers. These are crimes. They are not necessary to conducting a strike. A strike should consist of workers simply not working. They don't even have to leave their homes to accomplish this. Just don't do stupid things, and the union will get by fine.
unions are a scam
so is labor, wanna cry about it?
>he says while seething about AI and demanding everyone be wageslaves instead of being provided with UBI
Communists are a JOKE
It's like they took that pedantic virtue signalling and infantilism that defines their online existence and are attempting to apply it to maintaining a career in the real world. It's fricking pathetic, these governmental teat suckers really have no control over their emotions or their lives.
Reminder: These are the people who call everyone Incel Chuds.
This feels like satire
it’s definitely proud boys chuds disguised as devs
Jordan peterson talked about this, people that stay permanently in a mindstate of a 2year old

Clean your room.

Benzodiazepines are really dangerous, if you take them for a week straight you'll risk death if you stop without a month or two of tapering. Prescriptions of the stuff shouldn't be allowed in quantities higher than three days worth, but a physical dependency that can literally kill you is just too profitable.
The simplest way to break a physical dependency is to be put into an artificial coma with anesthesia for a few days while being attended to by doctors who can make sure that you don't die during this time, but anesthesia exposure longer than even a couple hours always incurs significant irrecoverable brain damage. Nobody admits to this but it's very commonly observed in people who undergo long surgeries.
Effectively he was lobotomized.
israelite psychiatry is worthless for anything but tranquilizing violent criminals and morons, as soon as you stop the israelite pills your problem returns worse than ever

>still wearing masks OUTSIDE
lol
Yes, wearing masks is good, not even for health reasons. Do you struggle breathing with a mask on, fatty?
No it's absolutely not. The bacteria build up that you're breathing back in, and not to mention you are also degrading your immune system by using an artificial filter instead of your lungs. Medical professionals switch those things out often, and wear when necessary, not every waking moment. You're an absolute ignoramus.
59% of libtards believe we're still in the middle of a pandemic btw

This is like one of the most cringe and sad things i have seen.
Imagine being a grown ass fricking adult, with a job, and a car, and facial hair, thinking the appropriate response to lay offs is to go and fricking scream into the void like a toddler.
This is how you see slackers and subhumans with no skill.
If it was devs with skills, they would have started making their own games and studios.
not necessarily, there are a lot of people that work much better in a large organization. Of course, they are functionally obsolete now, but it doesn't mean that they're lazy. It's just difficult to change as a person. Being light on your feet professionally is very rare
What an absolute joke. I can't imagine the mindset it takes to participate in this.
Have some grace. Be an adult.

These are the people calling you a manchild for criticizing slop AAA garbage.
Those are just a batch of leftist safe employees whose work consisted of the most lower of low tier managements and hr.
They are worthless just as their ideology.
They are all hypocrites and objectively evil.
The industry was created and grown by a very specific kind of people. They are not included.
The world hates you.
Honestly I wish they were lined up against a wall and shot by patriots, but realistically it seems they'll simply be discarded by the corporate masters they worship, or by their own during a cannibalistic crawl to what positions are left. Either way, as always the Bolsheviks turn on their own before their enemies.
It's nice that that last game was added to the list.

..but won't those lists be exactly the same?
I kind of wonder if that's the point, to show the lists itself mean jackshit whether you slap good or bad sticker on it since it's still up to the buyers to not buy shitty games and the Sweet Baby employee response only Streisand effected it into popularity, let's take a quick glance at who made this list-
>"Mostly as a troll response"

Nevermind
It's not actually kyubey
you can't have animated avatars unless some dev puts it in for his game

How do you see the followers on the curator page
This one is probably more reliable since they'll likely brag even about the obscure games
>it's the same fricking list
wow. Thanks sweetbaby for doxxing themselves I guess. I will now follow this list as well in case the original one missed a few games. And no, I will not buy or play any of those games 🙂
thx
ill follow both, just in case that brazilian guy missed some

Being afraid of the coof became some peoples defining personality trait
The western industry is rotten to the core, all these devs defended SBI when they got exposed. I only buy games made in eastern europe and asia. Imagine the japanese industry screaming like a bunch of homosexuals because their ESG-DEI department got fired, nevermind because that would never happen.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO
These trash belong nowhere except retail cashier or as Doordash drivers (no tip).
can someone give me the qrd for this gamergate 2.0 thing. I didnt care in 2014 and ignored it, whats going on now
Some company makes shit games so some Brazilian guy made a steam curator list of those games and the company decided to have their shit employees harass and report the Brazilian only to get buttfricked and now they're saying they never harassed and reported him and are pretending it didn't happen also conveniently an organization funded by homeland insecurity is saying gamers are now terrorists so.......that's what I've heard anyway as well as mass layoffs in the gaming Industry
I can't be arsed, educate yourself. ignoring them didn't work last time by the way. they are why male and female are type a and b now.

I'm sure there's more stuff that's gone on in the /misc/ threads, but I don't really care to browse them.
/misc/ does not care about video games
Totally false, anon.
What really happened:
>Steam user created a group to warn people about Sweet Baby
>company employees immediately go into total destruction mode and try to launch activists against the guy to censor him and if possible, destroy his Steam account by making him lose all his games.
>The pathetic cancellation attempt backfires and immediately tens of thousands of people sympathize with the guy and join his group to show solidarity against the insane corporation that threatened him.
And since the world today is completely fricked, the left immediately aligns itself with the corporations and starts making hit pieces to fight the people on behalf of a tiny parasitic elite.
As always, the motto is: "the people are bad, corporations are good", "the people are bad, the elite are good", "the people are the oppressors, the elite are the victims", etc.
>the left immediately aligns itself with the corporations
Ganker is some kind of bizarro place where people will try and ascribe positions traditionally held by right-wingers to left-wingers and STILL think only in terms of political directional warfare while spouting baby's first class-warfare theory
Are rot just being fictitious on purpose? These people don't hide their positions. They are very verbose about their ideals and what they have planned. You can't "gaslight" when your players are all out in the open about everything.
Which is of course why I hear about how vocal "these people" are on fricking Ganker and pretty much nowhere else, nevermind that it's a board that's adopted 2012 Tumblr feminist language like "gaslighting" and added it to the anti-SJW repertoire
It's in every digital space at this point, especially any social media. Are you just obtuse or extremely selective in what you curate to read about? I'm even seeing articles on Google home page. Yes the language has changed, as it always does. Tumblr broke out and infected everywhere else online, that's not news. Ganker, being the Speakeasy it is, is where people come to air out what they can't say in spaces like Twitter. Its a steam pipe, one where moderation is still subversive but at least less extreme than say Reddit. What you see posted is a product of the environment.
No it is in very specifically anti-SJW circles that I see these meandering arguments about leftist domination of the corporate space (why would I give a frick about this in the first place? I don't care that the HR department has blue hair, learn plumbing or electrical engineering) and where I especially see the adoption of insane feminist vocabulary into argument tactics among people that haven't really done anything but have meandering arguments for ten years
>stop noticing things

Well that anecdotal evidence is not what I observe. So our data collides in an inconsolable manner. We'll have to agree do disagree.

>"I don't care that the HR department"
You haven't worked a day in your life.
I don't work soulless office jobs and box-crusher AAA game slave jobs, no.
Those moronic pencil-pushers are who get to decide if you'll stay or go when you get in hot water, if you'll get to keep your job or if you'll even be hired in the first place. Compromise your HR department and your employment is in jeopardy. I cannot fricking wait for AI to remove these subhuman jobs.
I was going to type up a response telling you it still wasn't my problem, but you decided to use your favorite forum signature, "I CAN'T WAIT FOR AI REPLACEMENT"
What is this post even trying to say?
he said you're a chatbot, since all english knowledge leaves your body when you get insulted and don't have an instant response
?
Tone it down down anon if you keep playing stupid you're gonna end up actually stupid.
There's not a single non-self employed worker that doesn't hate HR and wishes they'd all be fired. I'll take AI or a terrorist bombing them into a smoldering crater for all I care, I just want them gone.
You're just a naive moron, anon.
As I said in another post, you are the example of the "useful idiot", and you will be triggered every time someone demonstrates that your ideology has been totally corrupted and you are now nothing more than the soldier fighting in favor of the interests of an elite that wants you dead.
>you're naiiiiiiiiiive
chris-chan tier of argument
It's not an argument, however, go learn the meaning of the words before you come here to protect your favorite elite.
it's naive to notice /misc/ posters talk like tumblrinas now but it's not naive to think ESG is a single company and the final boss of the internet
>Ganker is some kind of bizarro place where people will try and ascribe positions traditionally held by right-wingers to left-wingers
Another interesting thing they discovered, and which your post clearly demonstrates, is that leftists are often incapable of understanding the rightist point of view, and when he tries to "replicate" it, he does so in the most moronic and stereotypical way possible, while the opposite is not the true, that is, the right-winger is able to understand the left-winger's position much better and replicate it without completely missing the point.
Your post is an example of this. You are triggered when someone says that the left immediately aligns itself with the corporations and the elite against the people, something that is easily observable ("useful-idiot" is a terms traditionally used for leftists), but you refuse to believe it because in your simplistic view of the world it is the right that aligns itself with the corporations and that's it...
>Another interesting thing they discovered, and which your post clearly demonstrates, is that leftists
AND FOR MY NEXT TRICK I WILL BEAT THE DEAD HORSE
He’s also acts like that specific observation is new and hasn’t been around since inception. Marx’s contemporary left wing critics were literally all about “well holy frick this is going to be co-opted by corporate”. It’s not some new or shocking revelation. The thing about what is construed as “leftist” ideology is that in truth it’s more capitalist, or pro-corporation, than capitalism itself. The reason for this is capitalism is perfectly capable of failing itself, whereas leftism will never falter in strengthening the capitalist status quo. It was created by capital, for capital, and will remain so. It’s simply a dead end ideological trap for the youth to use rebellious sentiment for the benefit of the system.
They also don’t understand that the people critical of them were once in their own shoes, who fell for the same lies, who exhibited their same behavior. This is primarily due to youth.
It’s also the same guy who writes “direction brain” but only against right wig talking points. Never once have I see him say direction brain when it comes to grooming children or other left wing bullshit. And each time he’s surprised that he gets found out and called out. Without fail.
What you wrote doesn't go against what I wrote, you're just filling in more detail.
Yes, the little "detail" I added is that it was a movement of solidarity by the majority of ordinary people in favor of a guy who was being threatened by a corporation whose role is to shove the vision of the establishment and the intelligentsia down the throats of the people.
>The pathetic cancellation attempt backfires and immediately tens of thousands of people sympathize with the guy and join his group to show solidarity against the insane corporation that threatened him.
I thought it was because Asmongold made a video about Sweet Baby and linked the Steam Group
The community had 20k people when YouTubers took the story and amplified it.
and then they failed to cancel him cause its asmongold.
so next time you assume /misc/ did this, feds, try rubbing your braincells together, normies hate you too.
Not that I use other social media, but I've literally only ever seen Asmong talked about on Ganker (before jannies nuke it for off topic). Do normalgays actually watch him?
he is pushed by youtube algo like pewdiepie was back when, how do gamers NOT watch him?
stop acting like you're edgy autists by the way its not cool, so you watched a streamer big fricking deal.
Asmongold desperately wants to be a /misc/ activist and keeps throwing his hat in that particular direction for relevance and to give himself notoriety on the "gamer antiSJW" image
Mind you this is to keep people from looking at his talent agency which regularly embezzles money and to keep his viewers' minds off the fact that he's a filthy pig and he killed his mom through negligence
doesnt seem suspicious to you that he is why people are talking about this when you know about night media?
think harder.
>schizo
sure why not lets go with that and not just REALLY good at inferring things since 9/11
streisand effect all over again
some less than reputable people get caught doing less than reputable shit, so they double down on their less than reputable actions and try selling a narrative of how they're actually the victim and the people that caught up to their less than reputable actions are opressing them
which brings even more attention to their less than reputable shit
rinse and repeat
you're missing out the part where the "poor victims" who did shady shit for profit LITERALLY have DARPA funding.
in big tech and media you’ll be tripping over glowBlack folk constantly, revolving door to the cia
yh I know they made space station 13 install XKEYSCORE I know.
>even FBI getting involved and labeling gamers as terrorists
this was the part that pissed me off, you just blanket called all gamers terrorists for standing up to funded propaganda BY YOU, the feds need to frick off. go catch some actual terrorists instead of picking on the mentally ill (like the frick is actually wrong with you to do that. THE ACTUAL FRICK IS WRONG WITH YOU ?) im just trying to play video games.
Some brazillian guy accidentally discovered a massive extortion racket masquerading as "consulting firms".
They aren't really a racket, they are just grifters following the wake of the ESG investments shit to get themselves a slice of the pie
Without the later, the former would never have existed.
Yeah. Businesses like Sweet Baby would have no business existing a decade or two ago. They would've been easily laughed out and have went back to contributing jack shit to the world. Now such moronation has wormed its way in and you can't go two steps without tripping over one of these idiots be it in the industry, conventions, etc Just looking at the GDC 2024 schedule is enough to give a normal man an aneurysm from all the stupid shit they are talking about.
people don't like woke shit in games
it got uncovered that consultancy firms are pushing woke bullshit in games
so someone made a steam curator to point out which games are infected so you can avoid them
this caused a massive shitstorm with all media outlets condemnding the list in a coordinated smear campaign, even FBI getting involved and labeling gamers as terrorists
just proving how corrupt and in bed with each other they all are yet again
all the trannies and Black folk in vidya is forced via cheap loans to studios that force them to hire this cancer DEI/ESG crap.
video game industry is infested with useless talentless parasites that are forcefully integrated by SJW psychopaths

You can make the case they bullied the developers of South of Midnight or other no-name stuff they list as work, you lose credibility when you try to make the case they've bullied Sony or Valve Software.
what do you think threatening means here? do you think they held up a baseball bat and said they were going to break their windows and their kneecaps if they didn't comply?
no, they're implying that if the companies don't hire their services, then ESG will cut their funding, and their media buddies will write smear articles.
it's a very serious threat, and if you can't see that then you have no brain yourself.
What do you even mean by "ESG"? You have no idea what ESG is, you think it's an existing entity that can throw money according to its own whims. It is a financial investment standard propped up by the United Nations, it is a guideline, it is not an entity in and of itself. You don't know what ESG is. Shut up about it.
>It is a financial investment standard
which is aimed at forcing companies to adopt a political agenda, yes
so if you don't hire sweet baby you won't get investment for your games and the media will smear you
it can't actually force them to adopt that agenda so this is a moot point
>so if you don't hire sweet baby you won't get investment for your games and the media will smear you
what the frick is running through your mind
this guy controls 80% of the so-called "free" market by the way, if he says you don't get investment money, you don't get it
why you think crypto exists.
so that back-alley abortionists and cybercriminals can exchange money
or its because inflation has become ridiculous.
you glow by the way
>You don't know what ESG is. Shut up about it.
Another israelite seething in pain kek.
People don't need to understand the intricacies of ESG related funding, they just need to understand that when said funding is involved, the product is absolute dogshit.
This simple fact scares you Black folk. Hence the kvetching.
It’s pretty funny to see how ineffective israeli pilpul really is when you get down to brass tacks
It’s essentially just UM ACKSHULLY [meme loophole]
Yeah it's all they can do honestly. Playing semantics games to find loopholes. The further they push them into a corner the more ridiculous their semantic attempts become lol
To be fair to them they actually think it works on god too so of course they’ll keep doing it. They literally invented the idea of a scapegoat to scam god on a nonsense technicality
You mean I can't transfer all my sins to a chicken at the last minute and flog the poor animal to have god judge the chicken in my stead? Damn anon
>People don't need to understand the intricacies of ESG related funding, they just need to understand that when said funding is involved, the product is absolute dogshit.
This doesn't actually make any sense when I read it. It's a funding guideline nobody is actually beholden to follow. "ESG funding" doesn't mean anything, you're using it like it's coming from one source and it's... not. ESG is a guideline followed by many investors.
You started sucking yourself off about da joos being ineffective and simple facts (that aren't true and don't make any sense), so I think you're mostly here to argue with yourself and parrot Ganker-/misc/ memes you heard once.
UM ACKSHULLY
i wish i had the high IQ needed to post "UM ACKSHUALLY" when my argument is completely wrong but i want to keep posting about it
You wish you were a normal human yes instead of being a deeply mentally ill, neurotic freak like every member of your failed tribe
>It's a funding guideline nobody is actually beholden to follow
...what do you think happens when they don't follow the guidelines??? Stop trolling
>what do you think happens when they don't follow the guidelines???
Nothing immediately. Risks are defined as typically being litigation, fines and sanctions, but that's for unlawful behavior in the first place. It's the investor's money, they are able to put it where they want and reap any consequences that result. You don't actually have to follow ESG.
So you're aware that the company would miss out on the current trendy way to get funding.
We're on the same page then. You just don't want to outright call it blackmail.
Gotta love those desperate attempts. You get wienerblocked out of massive funding and lending opportunities if you don't adhere to the ESG guidelines. It's indirect blackmail. This isn't some redneck conspiracy theory, it's been proven with facts time and time again. The israelite fink himself openly admits to forcing people.
Kvetch harder anon, it's enjoyable to watch.
Check the thread, it's obvious when the brigade came in.
>all those criteria that have nothing to do with video games
also, by that logic every game should have a 1:1 man/woman ratio as well as mutated alphabet people
>This isn't some redneck conspiracy theory
Lmao.
>shills getting desperate
>It's a funding guideline nobody is actually beholden to follow
Are you fricking moronic? Getting some incredibly cheap money IS forcing them to take it. It would be detrimental for them not to, because it would put them at a disadvantage against everyone that took it. Do you understand the basics of capitalism? Do you understand that the source and cost of funding directly impact a companies operations?
The idea that you find nothing wrong with companies with government ties like Blackrock literally funding companies for following the same political guidelines that are pushed by academia, mass media and actual politicians, proves what an enourmous mental midget you are.
thing is companies operate by “playbooks” and not explicit threats, they’ve been given signals about diversity and if they don’t comply the eeoc israelites might come after them, it’s why every big corporation moves in stride
>if you dont do what we want we'll smear you in the mainstream media that already lost all respect from anyone with a brain ten years ago
the fact no one has done anything about this is why I dont care about earth anymore.
launch the nukes, shoot me, I dont care. you are worthless, die. painfully. I cannot enjoy anything anymore because you purposely ruin everything.
>company with direct ties to government money has no clout!
anon... you're already ignoring too much widely available information.
You didn't pay any fricking attention at all, Sweetbaby is far from the only company that accepts Canadian government dollars. They aren't the FBI, having a direct government financial pipeline means nothing in Canada's case. Do you think every country is America?
canada continued mk ultra into the 90s. western governments need to FRICK OFF from video games, end of discussion.
You're clueless about your favorite topics of discussion, you are less than worthless to talk to this about.
sometimes I forget israelites forget gaza dropped the optics on them like a fire starting.
have a nice day
>don't believe your lying ears
homies be like "question everything" and then get mad when you don't believe Ganker without question
>doesn't actually find anything
How are you doing chris?
is that really what you latched onto out of the whole post, you copied a tenth of a thought and pretended it was the whole thing
No the anon didn't. He just pointed out something in the greentext was dumb. Wasn't the only thing either:
> apparently this consultancy firm was the sole reason the game was bad and not the game's troubled development or Warner Bros. meddling or anything
No one said SB was the sole reason SS was bad.
>No one said SB was the sole reason SS was bad.
Nobody talked about Suicide Squad itself, the threads veered hard-left into talking only about Sweetbaby and b***hing that Batman died.
Well yeah, people are going to complain about killing Batman, especially with the timing with Conroy's death and Sweetbaby was a pattern people were noticing.
Honestly though it's more apt to blame western culture in general.
Damage control israelites playing it down as usual.
300k members in the sweet baby detected group is amazing and will cause them massive loss of revenue. Since the people that bother to follow curators are the same ones that buy more games. So the less sales they get the bigger the loss.
And as some articles that have been spammed on Ganker and /misc/ said, people not buying ESG shit wiped out billions in market value in the past few years, causing investors to slowly back up on the free money lending, it definitely has an effect.
To all anons that can't be arsed to follow the drama: It's basically more people noticing diversity shit in games and warning others of game having loads of it included. And it's widespread enough to actually hurt their sales and the entire woke reeducation bullshit. Hence he panic.
>UHH YOU'RE PLAYING IT DOWN
>Says the same exact shit
Based moron
>300k members in the sweet baby detected group is amazing and will cause them massive loss of revenue
Man. It must feel great to be this naive
Yeah I mean it’s not like the list itself is what caused all of this and what you gays are seething about.
If you weren’t upset your language wouldn’t be needlessly aggressive. You and the other Goobergaters severely underestimate how many people play games today and how little they care about any of this nonsense.
>how little they care about this nonsense.
Yeah, they care so little about your shitty troony games that you're getting mass layoffs. Men want violence and breasts on the screen, majority of playerbase for action genre are men. Nobody likes playing a Fat Dyke Lesbian Simulator.
Trash goes into the trash bin
>Men want violence and breasts on the screen, majority of playerbase for action genre are men
I don't think you speak for all gamers out there
then, explain why the frick those minecraft sex videos on youtube gets millions of views
>little they care about any of this nonsense.
Is that why they tried to doxx and harass the creator of the steam curator group`
aw it's scared
>posting the trannedit
>300k members in the sweet baby detected group is amazing
was 400k til they removed the bots
No it wasn't
Yes it was.
what reason do you have for lying? trying to save face for your employers?
>what reason do you have for lying?
there is no lie here anon just your bizarre anger
What a weird thing to lie about
Calm down anon you did nothing wrong?
Damn you must be mentally ill bro lol
you're the one raging about 100k bots being purged from your radical hate group.
>massive loss of revenue
the same fricking argument israelites use when they say piracy causes billions in stolen revenue
people that would never have bought the game in the first place aren't a loss of revenue
the obsession with Sweet Baby Inc is kind of lame because it makes it seem as if that's the only entity doing it. It's literally the industry as a whole. "Wokeims" is the beating heart of it. For things to change they'd have to burn it all and start from the start.
Everyone knows that, but it helps to have a central target to focus on.
complete lies fabricated by yet another sbi employee.
Theyve recently found another game, yout clock is ticking
the BR that runs the group is also busy torpedoing any credibility he has by demanding a prerelease copy of the game and meetings with the developers to vet it, he's blown his own cover and his real interest is he's mad he isn't sweetbaby himself
>by demanding a prerelease copy of the game
He put their game on the list because SBI is listed in the dev list. Its the job of the devs to prove SBI had no involvement, not the mutts.
>we removed it, just trust us bros
nope, br is completely in the right here
Aristocrat tries hyping it up into GAMERGATE TWOOOOOOO
Do all twitter freaks have this level of understanding of the world around them?
You guys are really desperate for this to be over huh? Must really suck that this isn't going away anytime soon.
This Brazilian guy made a curator group on Steam listing the games that a consulting from Sweet Baby Inc. (SBI for short) worked on and this caused one of their employees to throw a shit fit, which only brought more attention. After that people started talking about it here and shills started defending them and the jannies started deleting and moving threads to /misc/. However the damage is already done and more and more people are finding out about them every day.
>small "narrative improvement" DEI consulting firm has a hand in a bunch of recent high profile flops
>people start NOOTICING
>some favela monkey makes a steam curator page listing every game that said consulting firm was involved with
>it's literally just a list of games they worked on, most of which were pulled directly from their official website
>consulting firm's employees get pissed and start ranting about the list, demand steam remove it and ban the guy that made it
>journoscum start writing about the chud conspiracy to harass women
>streisand effect kicks into full gear
>steam group now has over 300k followers
>everyone laughs at the sweet baby morons seething on twitter
>jannies are homosexuals (nothing new)
if it really is goober grape 2, then it's SBI and the journos freaking out about it that are making it that way. it really wouldn't be as big of a deal if they didn't draw attention to it
same as some small rag giving favourable review scores to some text adventure, it is the strang conspiratorial screechign from the media that is making it into a big deal
Not GG2 yet, no one had their mother doxxed over having sex.
I honestly hope they get arrested for a bullshit reason
I read one about a controversial hypothesis where the guys believe that about half the humans on the planet today are "dysgenic" and shouldn't exist. The idea is that the "natural" infant mortality rate in humans is around 50%, so we should already come into the world with a severe natural selection where half of the babies and very young children would die before becoming viable. These people, who under normal conditions would be eliminated, are alive today, and as a result we see adults screaming like babies in protests.
that just selects against big intelligent heads in favor of dumb Black folk with half a neocortex
I hate Americans so much is unreal.
For those wondering why some gamers do these weird harassment or hate campaigns, it’s because video games are unfortunately all they have, and have nothing going for them professionally, academically, or romantically. No normal person with responsibilities would waste their time on insane stuff like this.
normal people need to frick off. the iphone has been a disaster for the internet. GO AWAY.
At least you are honest by saying that you are making video games worse, therefore people who only have it will get upset, rightly so
They aren't screaming about your little incel steam group. They are screaming about layoffs you moronic polskins.
That's a poor imitation of a bunkerfreak. Good on you for using one of their DEI approved "insults" though. "PolSkin" is so unbelievably sterile and inoffensive only a student taking intro to Social studies could come up with it.
how about /misc/yp, /misc/tard, /misc/ack, stormweenie, roleplayer, crossboarder, tourist, cuckold
/pol/ack at least has history, but coming up with goofy slur at all is just the same juvenile antics expected from Ganker/Reddit/Tumblr/Twitter shit flinging. Might as well just lay the cards on the table and say "/pol/itical enemies" at this point.
/pol/troon is a better one since it's a pun and a double insult
And what does that accomplish?
Bet it's both. Hope they get laid off as well lmaooooooooooo
kek, weren't US unions literally mafia dudes killing people and blowing shit up?
The funny thing is these dudes could basically do a real strike, since all of their companies already laid off the redundant employees, who's gonna work if they stop working? There's nobody left. But no, they decided to scream like little b***hes, accomplishing nothing.
Millennials were a mistake.
Super Sóyans
>when you get all your buddies to scream "Black person".
>One brazuca was all it took to mind frick amerigroids
Basado.... completamente basado....
do these game devs have no sympathy for all the COAL MINERS that lost thier jobs before them?
Can you imagine being a normal person working at a AAA studio nowadays being surrounded by these people? Holy frick
>Can you imagine being a normal person working at a AAA studio
No, I can't. AAA studio workers are heartless gremlins and freaks who take pride in making shitty games that cost way too much.
normal people don't like video games. there are no "normal" game developers, they would just work in a bank instead for double the pay and half the work
>Can you imagine being a normal person working at a AAA studio
no
>nowadays
no but instead of highly focused autists who want to make video games you get diversity woke shit and people drinking onions products and sleeping in their soft rooms full of shit they dont need to work on a video game, this is why people respected the japanese devs up until recently who have now fallen to blackrock aswell.
No, because most of them were fired.
Stuff like this really makes you realize how much the civil rights and hippy movements destroyed the American mind
It basically tricked Americans into thinking they could achieve something by just standing around and being angry
That's a Protestant mindset, not a hippy mindset.
It depends on where you protest.
Lost
Holy frick, reminds me of those people crying and screaming about Trump winning the election.
I forgot about people shitting themselves Trump won. People acted like they lost their whole family and house to a house fire. It was pathetic.
it really is the "two minutes of hate" from 1984 to a t.
Why are you guys harassing the Flintlock devs now?
I work in the animation industry and this has only made it harder to get a job and I'm european. A lot of the people fired deserve it though, but I chose the worst possible time to leave my previous job. Frick
These are the people calling you incels
I'd get more enjoyment watching these homosexuals try and afford a loaf of bread than play any of their shit
>these are the people telling you to "grow up"
This is why I think game development, like all art, should be done as a hobby. Nothing kills your enthusiasm for something quite like making it your full-time job.
Yes, surely a bunch of NEETs who have never worked a day in their loves will see this and understand what's happening.
Okay so then they aren't a threat to you. You come here, to the dumpster of life, and then complain "why is there trash everywhere"?
>these are the creatures calling others incel manchildren
dont worry the government will bail out ESG tier devs just like they bailed out sweet baby inc
reminder its election year and you're not going to be there much longer.
>hard working people protest go get living wage
>neet chuds on Ganker: BABYS! THE WEST HAS FALLEN? *lickbigcorpoboot*
??????????
They're just screaming at the layoffs. It's not the people who were fired who are screaming, it's the guys that are still employed.
I don't want them to get a living wage because I don't want them to be living.
>hard working people
lol. Overwhelming majority of western developers dont deserve their jobs thats simply a fact.
Spending 7 hours on Reddit/Twitter with 1 hour on Stack Overflow to copy&paste code isn’t hard work.
And those are the hardest working “game developers” at this protest.
Why don't they do something productive like form a union.
Frankly, I doubt it would have helped in this case.
True but now is the time people would listen and join. Good times make people fat and lazy.
industrializing video games was a mistake
it's hard to believe now but activision was founded to create a publisher independent from gambling, and "electronic arts" was created to shift the focus of video games marketing to the developers, the early EA boxes included signed forewords by the developers about the games.
it's time to have a "new wave" of independent publishers to dissociate from the industry gambling rot yet again
The layoffs will continue until ALL GRIFTERS ARE PURGED
Magnificent. I would like for them all to be killed but things are still to comfortable for anyone to be the first to fire. I take solice in knowing their money laundering scheme is falling apart, at the least
God GDC sucks now
i really liked gdc's post-mortem panels. Some of them gave interesting insight into gamedev and specific games. Do they even do that anymore or is it just a non-stop corpo suck-off fest?
>peter compiling populous live on stage

it was already this bad a decade ago. around the time of or soon after GG I remember taking screenshots of the schedule to laugh about SJWs (it was still SJW, not woke back then) with anons. and it was all the same crap, most of the same buzzwords were already around.
reminder that this "identity politics" shit was psyopped into the mainstream in 2013 as a measure to fracture occupy wallstreet.
the reaction to this shit is having people come around again and look at the money and where it's coming and going now. There honestly needs to be more discussion.
>mostly everything is some flavor of agenda dialog
Holy shit
Rami's such a wienersucker.
The list is long.
Remember when GDC had cool talks about the inner works of game development?
This is entirely preaching about conformity.
>Muslims
These gays and israelite rats better leave us out of this. We have nothing to do with their Black person and LGBT homosexualry.
Lol you are now part of the LGTV4K have fun ahmed

>games are going to cost $80 + tip now sweaty
>also expecting things to work at launch and games to be actually good are literally harassment
You can writhe all you want, but people still hate you for poisoning games.
So instead of doing anything productive like trying to unionize this is what they do?
Unironically they should just prove their own value by finding other people that want to do more than complain at the convention and spend the weekend pitching to eachother and drawing some concept art for a Kickstarter indie studio.
If they're such competent game devs, why don't they all just get together and form their own studio?
give me a fricking break
>hur we control the narrative, you are sheep, we control you, you will eat the bugs and be happy

you ever wonder why it's politically motivated morons of either direction trying to wrestle control over a fricking entertainment sector that keep telling you that
whether it's some sweatshirt wearing yuppie on a developer's conference stage or a sweaty fat /misc/tard on an imageboard telling you to be afraid
because they don't control the narrative at all and that horrifies them. the yuppie wants you to believe they do and the /misc/tard believes they do and wants you to fight it
neither of these people actually control the larger narrative and go ignored by the 99% of the rest of people that play a fricking video game and don't think any harder about it

The most israeli thing I’ve seen today
This thread reminds me why I use Ganker much less than I used to.
Filter "sweetbaby", "DEI", "ESG", "leftist" and "SBI" and you'll have a better time. Actually filter out "troony" and all derivatives too since the mods filtered soi but not troony for some reason.
the word filters were last updated in 2012 I think
hiro doesn't know how to do it
We've had filtered words since then, "soi" going to "onions" was a moment or two before God of War released in 2018. "cumbrain" was filtered for a while too in response to somebody spamming it across a bunch of boards
Add "chud", "nazi", "bigot", "maga", "trump", "extreme right" to the list...ho wait.
No filter all that too since that's common in all the threads where the left-related spam is. Nobody uses "chud" except memelords and frogposters arguing with themselves
It helps but it doesn't un-moron the board
The first three help too because every time you see "chud" on Ganker it's some mexican kid trying way too hard to be funny
If you are not coming here for this shit then why are you coming here in the first place?
if you want to discuss games there are better places.
this is for topics that get censored anywhere else
have you killed yourself yet?
LMAO. BRUH WUT?
Someone share vids or interview these idiots. This is hillarious.
Well, to all those people losing their jobs. Thank God you all avoided oversharing your political opinions and only focused on giving consumers a top quality product at a reasonable price.
It may have been tough but it sure is a good thing that you have been building up good will amongst your customer base so that now in your time of need they will be willing to follow and support you in future endevors and support your new projects knowing they can trust you.
Can you imagine what it would have been like if you spent the last decade attacking your customer base?
Don't have a job?
They should learn to code!
Where do gamers go to protest Project Zomboid's lack of NPCs over a decade into Early Access? It's one of Steam's top selling games don't tell me a protest wouldn't be relevant.
gamergate won
I can sympathise with laid off devs but this is cringe and completely ineffective
>the videogame board is cheering after thousands of videogame developer layoffs
Wtf this place really is just /misc/ now
People are cheering because there are a lot of people in the industry who are liabilities. You can’t deny that. Unfortunately, some good devs might have been fired unjustly.
They're cheering because they're fricking idiots who've convinced themselves with no argument that everybody laid off was a liability and they have zero knowledge or curiosity about the market and investment reasons for the layoffs.
Yeah I'm sure the morons standing in a field screaming at clouds are real top of the line 120+ IQ devs and now games are going to get even worse.
You do understand we're mostly talking about AAA western games which aren't known for high quality margins in the first place. The lowest common denominator of video games shoveled out by the biggest companies for the highest mass appeal
Yeah, and? That seems like all the more reason not to care.
You’re defending walking piles of garbage LITERALLY screeching like autists

do you moron zoomers know why the oblivion NPC's are actually funny? have you even played the game?
it's the slightly off kilter talking past each other, being oblivious to their surroundings, due to voice lines not being matched to each other, and their ability to react to events being limited, sometimes people in the real world just have this uncanny feeling to them as well and you add the music it becomes funny
yet you morons take emotional meltdowns from worldstar or whatever and add oblivion music to it and think it's funny? are you moronic?
Think of LOL threads with people removing words and panels from old CAD comics eventually transmuting into people removing words and panels from any comic and ruining them in the process because they're not CAD

because then they'll actually have to work
Because it's not about the games. Just like the Bolsheviks, they must infest every institution. There must be no "counter force" if they have their way.
Because they can't create, they're scavengers. Two different mindsets, the dichotomy of which is the main fractionalization of the world right now.
Scavengers go around looking for shit that's lying around or growing on trees. They find it, they slop it up, they move on. Finders keepers.
Creators look at the land, notice patterns, test some things, remember, observe, implement, and then after hard work and testing they have a farm that is carefully cultivated to grow tons of nutritious crops.
When scavengers see this, they assume it's a magic plot of land these people just found. The idea that it is created and maintained by their very careful planned out actions is unthinkable to scavengers because they're moronic so everyone else must be too. This is a magic plot of land that happens to grow a lot of food and these creators just happened to find it by luck which isn't fair. They force the creators, the ones who know how to maintain the land, out and take the magic land for themselves.
They proceed to shit it up in every way possible and stare dumbfounded as to why it's no longer producing the food it used to, then somehow find a way to blame the creators for this.
Anybody you hear complaining about hierarchy, privilege, colonialism, equity, inclusiveness, systemic oppression, etc. is a scavenger.
never thought of them as scavengers, this post could be applied to almost every age of mankind and still holds true. quality post anon
The whole debacle with Alec Holowka was a really good example of this, if you've ever seen the whiny blogpost his coworker Scott Benson put out after he was driven to suicide. In it he pretty much admits he did very little work willingly and that Alec was the creative driving force that finished the game. And after using him up, they led a witch hunt against him until he killed himself, took over the studio, and used to push the same ideology that killed him.

Sounds israeli
"collective moment of catharsis"
Yes, for us chuds. It's a real pleasure seeing these people suffer.
i've been a patriotic american for 30 years and i've never been so happy to see my country BTFO in something by euros and japs. you get what you fricking deserve. hopefully we can start healing after all this shit crashes
>Game dev protes
>More like BlackRock-ANTIFA meltdown.
This is the consequence that resulted from their moronation and gay-porn tier ideology they hold dear.
They literally managed to collapse a multi-billion dollar industry to the ground with both Boomer pension and Government funds and are now complaining that they are out of what many here would have considered a DREAM JOB back in the day before they sharted-up the place with their STD-ridden $0¥ diarrhea.
The good(wishful thinking) news is that maybe the industry will be atomized again like in the 90s, just small studios with each studio having only 5 white dudes making a real game, While these champagne-commie homosexuals go to the only place they belong: the gay porn industry to make communist porno-biographic movies about them starving farmers to death while they frick and knit at the same time.
In the long-term... FRICK THEM!
Is it time, fellow shadilays?
Wow, there is no testosterone present in that photo at all. I genuinely hope they live the rest of their lives turning tricks for onions latte money in the gutter
>this sound soothes the porky
They're annoying but at least they're not striking
Death to the AAA industry, the future is indie
the same thing is happening in the world of IT and I could't be eating that shit up even more, for years those little homosexuals would demand a golden spoon and 99999$ or they walk, now that india is replacing them, they are all getting laid off and crying about it, even long tenure positions are being lost to indians so you get what you deserve you smug ass homosexuals
>now that india is replacing them
God imagine the smell and quality reduction, gaming about to get so much worse.
I'm actually curious what most of these layoffs did at their work. As other Anons have said if they actually cared they could easily band together from the amount that got the boot and create a small indie company. So why don't they?
I don't get it, collect unemployment until the claim runs out and then get a new job.
w3elcome to the real world.
>election tourist gamergate
Peak Cringe
>2024
>No gaming studios that consist entirely of chuds
What gives?
because they have made it illegal to exclusively hire white/asian male employees
the chud studio would quickly get ripped apart by israeli lawyers and anti racist activists
>Gamergate 2 will just lead to games being even more woke than before
Why are we trying to make this a thing again?
I want games to be so woke that even parody games will look sane in comparison. Also I don't fricking care - all of the best games were made over 10 years ago. I could literally only play them for the rest of my life and never touch any new game again
is Ganker trying to ruin gaming for everyone again?
Yes, accelerate.
No, only for (you) 🙂
AAA is a joke, nothing warms my heart more than seeing the industry fail.
>It's another /misc/gays seethe about an imaginary boogeyman episode and claim the AAA industry will collapse in 2 more weeks
I'm getting sick of this rerun
it's a burgerland election year so it'll be here for the duration unfortunately
>buy & enjoy your committee-approved games with, and do absolutely nothing to fight back
remind me again why western AAA games have utter been shit for the past decade
They haven't been you're just a jaded homosexual who hates everything, gaming has literally never been better and higher quality
I disagree anon
Well you're a fricking moron so no wonder you disagree with me (and the overwhelming majority of gamers)
name a single (1) good western AAA game released in the past decade
The Last of Us 2. Graphics are insanely cutting edge, gameplay is incredibly fun, and it has a great story to boot.
thanks for a good laugh anon
Let me guess. You dislike it because your virutal daddy died? Fricking pathetic.
neil, please. go suck another dozen of hollywood dicks. maybe they'll give you an oscar this time or something
Neil won, you lost. Continue to impotently seethe 🙂
>implying
I'm not going to touch your franchise with a ten foot pole
ghost of tsushima, but it depends on your tolerance for ubishit gameplay
i spit out a little bit from laughing
this is how you farm (you)s boys
Then don't bump it moron
>tourist doesn't know about saging
>tourist doesn't know about bump limits
But me replying to you is bumping it so you are inadvertently bumping it by seeking confrontation 🙂
No.
it's pretty ironic that you use that image
you probably have no idea where it's from
why are they all white?
>Ganker thinks - again - white males should be the target
You all have to go back to r/the_donald btw.
You ever wondered why game devs kneeled quick and fast to demands by people like Anita in the early 2010s? Because they're all limp wristed homosexuals. Centuries ago, these were the most impoverished peasants at the lowest part of the societal totem poll meant to act as loosely armored conscripts with nothing but shitty spears in times of war. There's a reason why in China, the serfs ate basedfood like tofu.
it's been 4 years and Ganker still can't accept TLOU2 is a good game
>page 10
see you all in the next thread, homosexuals
proving my point
JEWS WON
GOYEM LOST
