Vanguard stopped supporting it becuase it wasn't making money for investors. Vanguard is the only competitor to Blackrock. Even if Fink says "we are gonna rebrand it!!" Vanguard isn't going to work with it becuase of its financial failure. At the end of the day it was genuinely a pyramid scheme and the people at top already pulled out nearly a year ago.
>They're going to rebrand and reintroduce it
What stops people doing the same thing again?
If you made ESG a dirty word. You could do the same to the next name.
In fact that would be the best option, because if they had to keep changing and re-branding, they can't focus on implementing.
So i fail to how this makes them win at all.
Companies/Corporations do that shit all the time. They get a bad reputation and they simply change their name and rebrand. Same old bullshit, new name. They think most people wont notice, and they don't
With how vocal right wing media is against Fink, any name he picks will be on youtube channels as soon as the day is done.
So no, it wont work this time. It aint as simple as changing a name in this case.
>What stops people doing the same thing again? >If you made ESG a dirty word. You could do the same to the next name.
It takes a while to convince the public. Just until recently people tried to claim that ESG is some made up schizo conspiracy theory.
You just mention it is a rebrand of ESG.
Even the normies would pick up on that. Chuck in the name of Blackrock and Fink and they know it is the same product.
Blackpill mentality is not going to help you.
They want you to think they are god who never make mistakes.
But they are coked up humans, most of the time.
>but they are coked up humans, most of the time
The past few years have been a complete affirmation of that. FYI, globohomosexual is shitting itself because sabotaging the citizens that support the, only sends the message to the countries they're trying to curry favor with that they will do the same to their own people. Most of the countries that the US formerly subjugated with muh dollar see where the wind's going to blow and are essentially vying to take Amerilard's old spot on the hierarchy. You've lived long enough to see complete morons install a senile pedophile who shits himself as the U.S. Commander in Chief and act shocked when they lose a century's worth of power.
Remember when they tried like, three times to reignite covid and it didn't take because everyone was already sick of it and just wanted to go to the bar and have a drink again? You can't just try things over and over in the same generation.
A blender or SFM model only has to exist in a small space and can be rendered at any fps for as long as it takes to record the video they intend to release. A video game model has to exist in the video game world and not make your game run like ass by existing.

The first game takes place in Midgar only. It's worth checking out to see how the remake reinagines the cast. Story wise, it's almost self-contained. Gameplaywise, there's no carry-over of character stats or items from a previous save.

I really, really, REALLY hope you are not this naive anon. Some companies would literally murder entire families if that meant that they will earn $1M more in the next fiscal year. They don't care about our entertainment, they care about money they can make from it.
>Nobody is paying people to "ruin video games" or whatever shit you think
Anon they were literally paying companies through investment funds to make design decisions that they otherwise wouldn't. Have you seriously not noticed how much work Debra Wilson gets?
ESG is far more relevant to those businesses than video games. It's literally just a thing companies can do to look better to investors and thus get extra money into your company via grants. Giant companies like banks, insurance, etc are going to do anything and everything available to them to get what is basically free money.
Misc only cries about it because of the S part, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper in the short term to promise or hire some "diversity" than to reduce carbon emissions, electrical use or anything to qualify for the environmental parts.
but much like anything involving wallstreet and stocks Ganker has no idea what the frick it's doing and only reacts to the surface level things they see.
if one company has higher ESG than others, even its revenue is the same as others and it will received higher rating and have higher EPS. As a result, its shareholder can enjoy higher stock price.
Can you answer a question for me, maybe you know a little about it:
The big companies like MS, EA or Sony have investors. Are these actually normal private people and can I, as a private person, also participate in this?
They can ask questions during the Q&A in the Earnigns Call. Can I also hire such people to ask questions there on my behalf?
it is because youre pretending to be moronic to "own me". youre owning me so hard right now by pretending you're so incredibly mentally moronic you cant go on google and type 3 letters holy shit
Yes, and also because you're ignorant.
ESG has been public knowledge for quite a while, and not in a HAHA LOOK AT MY FUNNY INTERNET EVIDENCE, no, like, the actual people managing it talkign about it, and why it's good.
But to sum things up, yes there was a reason why everyone was putting diversity characters and ugly women in your vidya for a long time.
It wasn't a coincidence.
It was because of money and it was because of the joos as usual.
Well, just one joo, mainly. but still.
Its social engineering by way of investment. They dump a bunch of money on specific companies that push what they consider "proper" social themes. They restrict investment to companies that refuse to. Basically any company that wanted more funding had to bow down and virtue signal or they'd get starved out
I've heard of it before on Ganker as a big boogeyman, but I never really understood what it was. Looking it up online says it's >(ESG) is a set of considerations, including environmental issues, social issues and corporate governance that can be considered in investing.
The part that really strikes me is; >set of considerations >can be considered in investing
So from that alone, I think you can interpret it as outside pressure to conform to certain norms or ideals in return for money.
In looking up information on it, I found this video;
Which seems to confirm that exact thing. It seems to be directly linked to forcing "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) types on video games as they are one of if not the most popular form of getting your word directly translated to the masses, especially the younger more pliable generation.
So I would say Ganker are pretty correct in it being a Boogeyman. They sound positively evil.
Its not a boogeyman, they're literally out there right now pumping money into companies that will go with the flow. When companies put an ESG section on their website they're literally advertising that they will accept the conditions to get more investment
You would think a lefty would be against corporate influence over free expression but I guess the corporations have really taken over every segment of every political ideology since the internet got big and the political paradigm changed.

Do you mean current antifa? Like in portland? Anon all the funding they need is maybe rent for some local hq, what the frick are they gonna fund? Sticks and rocks.

You must not be a porn addict. If they didn't spam it nonstop over the last few years in fapbait threads 24/7, I wouldn't know about it either. Even /misc/ talks about this less than the porn addicts on Ganker.
Basically a company in France named Blackrock pretty much offered endless funding for shit practices, and the shithead incharge of that realized his ass was not making anymore money, so he and his band of homosexuals basically stopped because even the most moronic of people now know what ESG and Blackrock is was along with the economy in America being in fricking shambles and now we have all these companies basically with nooses tied around their necks and the doors below them ready to fall away.
Basically the major entertainment industries are about to collapse completely and Japan took notice surprisingly pretty quickly so they're pivioting fast away from it.
there is going to be a lot more esg focused stuff coming out, flopping, and the people making it going under as the funding stopped and they were pushing the product out
Its an investment package like deferred comp or others. Basically you invest in ESG and it goes to a cluster of other companies. Companies wanted in on it because Obama and Blackrock were investing billions into it.
>I still don't know what the frick ESG is
Essentially it's one rich guy with an infinite money machine that guesses good investments >50% of the time giving out loans to companies but only if they meet his criteria of what is "good".
He also happens to be israeli, which may have a role in why he does it because the israelites have some kind of religious doctrine about those with means doing good deeds to sorta kinda buy their way into heaven. /misc/ naturally incorporate ESG into their gobohomosexual agenda schizo canon rather than viewing it as an isolated event. I genuinely think Fink means well, but frick him all the same for the hubris.

>Sweet baby inc involved with squeenix
Concerning >Squeenix fine with breasts jiggling and bikini girls
Hmm.
Maybe the answer is Sweet Baby Inc is relenting? Like they realize their woke shit isn't selling, so the trannies are going "okay, you can have hot chicks in your anime games"?
Usually these fricks will fail until their company does, and then move on to the next company to ruin, but its possible Squeenix is just telling them "No, we need the breasts, they sell well".
My post implied that they can be told "frick no, we're doing this other thing". How does that mean I think they hold all the power? Square can just walk up to their bosses and tell them "frick off!"? No, Square IS the boss of sweetbaby.
The issue is that Square thought "how do we make this "woke"" and sweetbaby went "I know!" and fricked things up. Western companies act like that too, but Sweet Baby has more influence over here.
No, Japan has just been pulling a lot of their funding out of it, presumably because they realized it was just losing them money and we're about to enter a worldwide recession, so they need that money.
Senran is dead, Takakai's soul left his body years ago and he left Marvelous completely. The gacha will be the last thing that ever comes out of this series unless he miraculously decides to come back.
The ESG boogieman is the stupidest shit. Do you morons know why they'll add some gay characters to a game and call it a day for ESG stuff? It's not because it's "woke". it's because it's cheaper than doing anything else.

Never trust a company. But, nothing wrong with being happy you can enjoy what they produce.
Well, you see, I'm happy that they got rid of the guys who want to shit in my mouth. I say "Want to" because I haven't bought a square game in a while, so my mouth has gone unshat. Regardless, that's still reason to be happy.
>The guy who used to punch you got arrested so now he won't punch you. >Who cares, that guy used to punch me.
See how stupid that analogy is?
That's not the same analogy, you are still visiting the dude who punched you and praising him but he stopped because he doesn't want to get arrested again.
I won't believe the ESG dragon has been slain until I have sat for 3 days with its corpse. Perhaps Square Enix has cast off the malign influence of Larry Fink, we shall see. But it's too soon to say the industry is truly healing.
Trust in ESG guidelines as a reliable predictor of an enterprise's long-term success has been plummeting for a while now.
It was a trust based system, so once the trust is gone, shareholders stop using it to inform their investments and companies stop using it to try and lure shareholders.
I do wonder if there will be some 'new standard' for shareholders to follow like cattle going forward but for now I'm simply happy that ESG, being the generally shitty set of guidelines it is, is collapsing.
The whole ESG brand is getting killed off due to "growing negative image" (translation: too much noticing) It will be back in some new form under a different name, you should know how this works by now.
They don't need to do anything at this point. Our countries are being destroyed through mass immigration and the biggest "challenge" to this is Donald Trump and people like Farage, Le Pen and Meloni. Things are looking very grim currently.
Big budgets are a massive trap. It just increases the number of sales you need for the game to be profitable. This is essentially gambling. You inflate the budget while hoping it will inflate sales by an even greater proportion. But the truly most vile thing about it is that these budgets are not grown organically, they're injected into the company via outside investment, and it always comes with strings attached, which is how we got the current ESG paradigm.
Blackrock tricks companies into taking its money, then places heavy restrictions on how they can use it, which sabotages their projects, which results in the studios and publishers losing lots of money. Blackrock doesn't care, or didn't care, because they have essentially infinite money, and don't care about returns. Except with the Fed hiking interest rates, even Blackrock can't afford to toss away billions on propaganda anymore.
Yes they're aware ESG is a toxic brand now, but there's also the fact that the current economic climate is very bad for reckless investment. Blackrock WILL be back, but it won't be for a little while yet.
They literally make money off shit flopping by shorting stocks and other nefarious methods. They know full well shit won't sell but they manipulate the markets and make money off it anyway. That's the most diabolical thing about investors. Stuff does well? They make money? Stuff does badly? They make money. This is why they don't want companies to have stable profits, the big money is made when line goes up or line goes down
I have been seeing this image everywhere for the past week and thought from the text and hair it was supposed to be a khajit Marcus Aurelius, but your filename just made me realize it's a stupid zoomer meme.

it's far too late games are in production for a decade these days so we will not be seeing games improve outside of minor ways until the current slop has worked it's way through the pipeline unless the big devs decide to just burn everything and start from scratch and that's expensive, i don't expect many to survive that long.
I don't understand why everyone here thinks Stellar Blade is going to be goty.

That's simply the truth. Sex to create life is a natural urge. Mimes exist, but they're not common place, so they show up rarely. You don't see mimes being pushed everywhere. They've also been insulted and even attacked since their inception.
Imagine if they started making sure character don't eat anything in games. Why? Opening an orifice to put food in it? That's disgusting! No more food, NO. MORE. MOUTHS! No more reminder of eating!
Noses? Those DISGUSTING HOLES ON YOUR FACE? They should be removed from characters!
No more references to eating or breathing in these games! NEVER AGAIN!

I hate gays so much, why do they have to ruin everything? Why do they want everyone to be gay? If everyone became gay they still wouldn't stop. Their hunger would never be sated.
Part 3 of this remake is fricked as snoy probably isnt going to pay them for it like they did with part 1 and 2. I have to imagine part 3 will be lower budget because of this.

>he thinks ESG is exclusive to video games
ESG is, if anything, struggling to find any footing in the video game industry. They've thrown around billions of dollars and gotten most of the AAA industry on board to some degree, but reception has been overall poor.
Comparatively, ESG is firmly entrenched in Hollywood, as well as the tech industry, and has virtually every major finance firm at the very least paying lipservice to it.

Children don't even pay attention to anything in school anymore, so no it's not that.

Children not paying attention in school is a result of a change in the curriculum that makes it impossible for the teachers and parents to “teach like we were taught”.
This issue started long before smart phones and the internet. When the teachers and parents lost grasp on what was being taught to students, they also became incapable of making the students care.
It’s interesting to see how schools that defy the poor education norms in this nation always have a few individuals who actually care about their role as an educator.

Ah, but weakening the people you rely on to keep the power on and live your luxurious lifestyle is not a particularly good idea when your mortal enemies that see you for the demons you are exploit that and start making power plays. How are you going to stop them starting a gold-backed currency, send your tuxedo ass yourself to go shoot their leaders? When your meatshields are demoralized you are defenseless.
ESG just proved to everybody paying attention that evil truly is stupid and digital panty shots are the signifier of a clean, moral, and advance civilization.

You don't understand... none of you understand. The status quo has already been destabilized and the younger generations have already been indoctrinated into the cult. It doesn't fricking matter that ESG shit is getting pulled because it's already the fricking norm for so many brainless NPCs who can't think for themselves. ESG didn't retreat, the war is over and the damage is done and after surveying the casualties and losses they simply rode off into the sunset knowing that they've permanently altered the landscape and there's nothing we can do to fricking fix it.
>the younger generations have already been indoctrinated into the cult.
they would had need to actualy SEE the propaganda in order to be indrocrinated anon
you cannot show propaganda to people that refuses to see your product
Imagine thinking you can actually defeat human sexuality. Imagine thinking anything is forever, except for ass and breasts.
But they see commercials. They see cartoons and movies and TV shows that push the "new normal" constantly. Advertisements in every fricking square inch of their field of view at all times. Every company on the face of the earth could drop their ESG initiatives overnight and it wouldn't make a single fricking difference at this point. Your so called healing will never come because it's too late. I envy your optimism and hope I'm wrong. I want to be wrong, I really do, but god damn it I don't see it stopping in my lifetime.
Lol imagine not realizing the entire ESG initiative is corporate controlled from top to bottom INCLUDING the social media posts praising that bullshit and crying about Yukari boob size mods

Most shame only lasts for as long as you're still maintaining it. Equilibrium will naturally reassert itself. Societies have gone through many periods of sexual repression and it always just comes back up to the waterline. You literally can't browbeat people out of sexuality forever.
How do lefty morons deal with the cognitive dissonance of billion dollar companies pushing financially backed social propaganda that aligns with the current hard left-wing ideals?
They break out their electric bottle lid twister, spend the next 5 minutes writing anti-white rage posts on social media while waiting the for the machine to open up their bottle of soimilk, and then guzzle it down while orgasmically screaming out the names of their favourite corporations.
how rightards can survive fighting ghosts everyday?
literally no one is forcing to consume this games or engage with this thread you fake outrage b***h
ESG isn't real you brainwashed pol homosexuals, you're just looking for a scapegoat which only circles back to you go "REEEEEEEE TEH israelites". Companies have always held a moral left-leaning stance, it's not a israeli conspiracy or whatever the frick, you want your product to appeal to the most amount of people possible, and that starts by not offending people. think you absolute redneck stuck-in-the-past morons
>"most people" >says the Gankertard who doesn't leave his mommy's basement
yawn, post the bit about how you think "normal people" are transphobic by "default" next
Most people that play video games are still straight men with a healthy sex drive, especially in Japan where this game was made. This doesn't have anything to do with trannies, so why are you bringing that up?
Companies get free money from American taxpayers in exchange for filling certain criteria, such as putting homosexuals in their games and marching in pride parades.
ESG money isn't from taxes. it's not a goverment entity. It's literally a guideline for investors that care about ESG to decide where to put their money.
Now the company you're sending your retirement money to can decide to invest in an ESG company and lose your retirement but that's not taxes.
>ESG money isn't from taxes. it's not a goverment entity.
Oh boy you have no idea lol
Blackrock gets all their money straight from the fed and they amassed their fortune to begin with because they were chosen to manage assets and payments related to 9/11 payouts
Do you understand what an investment firm is? They get their money from other people and invest it on their behalf. That is not government money.
What you are doing is confusing every billion+ dollar entity abusing loopholes and tax benefits to essentially wipe their own debt away while borrowing from the government. But I have bad news for you, every fricking giant corporation and individual of massive wealth does that.
They all do it. And do you know why bigger entities that own several smaller ones like Amazon don't give a shit when a smaller one they own like Twitch is essentially hemorrhaging money? Because it's a tax write-off. And most of the money they are "hemorrhaging" is paying Amazon for their bandwidth usage. Aka it costs Amazon pennies on the dollar and then they get to claim they lost that money on twitch's taxes. It's a net positive that they can spin into any narrative they like to people who do not comprehend what is going on behind the scenes to get a "woo-is-me" pity party while twitch lays off employees.
It's all a scam and you fell for it by thinking one boogieman was somehow the only one doing that shit.
>They get their money from other people and invest it on their behalf. That is not government money.
And I'm telling you that their fortune originates from the government giving them tax payer money which they invested and profited from.
ESG means Environmental, Social, and Governance, it's an evaluation of a corporation's impact on society evaluated by 3 different rubrics. The ESG rubric gives a final score to a company, which "ethical investors" use to determine if a company is deserving of investment. One particular investment firm, Blackrock, is sitting on trillions of dollars, literally infinite wealth, and will pump millions of dollars into companies based almost entirely off of ESG scores, and a lot of these are entertainment and media companies.
By sheer coincidence, any company Blackrock invests in for ESG reasons soon becomes pozzed, pushing diversity and other woke shit. Because that's the social aspect of the ESG score, it's by far the easiest one to pander to in order to improve the score. Environment is extremely hard, as is governance. Easy to hire a bunch of minorities and women and pay them to do nothing. Easy to put a rainbow flag on their company twitter account. Etc. Easy to to do a bunch of new movies / TV shows / games that push a social message in line with ESG values.
They invest in companies that will go along with pushing all the "woke" shit that people hate. They freeze out other companies that wont. They're picking winners and losers using economic might to reshape the landscape of not just video games, but things like movies, tv shows and even the kinds of foods you eat
I can't tell what to believe
I work in finance at a f100
Esg and blackrock are real
But what I'm unsure about is what's happening here. FF16 bombed despite them defending their anti-esg stances (literally places like vee's fault) and they added tons of nigs and queer shit to ffviir2. But they backtracked SOMEWHAT on Tifas breasts. So I think they're just trying to find the right balance. Add gays and blacks but increase lewd as well for optimal sales. They certainly aren't against blackrock since they literally just folded to Polygon seething about no blacks in 16
This makes no sense as a response no matter how I try to read it. They added Black folk and queer shit to FFVIIR2 due to it backfiring on them defending their stances with FFXVI. If anything, it shows the opposite of what you're saying? FFXVI being California is the one telling ESG to frick off, not Japan. Japan seen FFXVI backlash and added every other npc as black in 7R2 and every third couple being woman woman or guy guy
I doubt you ever played 16 if you think the second best character in the game with a single ten second scene about being gay, is anywhere near as aggregious as FFVIIR2. You're actually moronic because 16 literally told magazines like Destructoid to frick off about the "wheres mah nigs" questions. And 16 had breasts anyway. 17r2 bent the knee, not 16, and you're just seething about Bahamut being a gay when it actually helped his character. breasts are less important on wag2scsle than nigs nigs nigs nigs queer queer queer queer, both of which 7R2 is filled with and 16 had literally, literally, one gay character (well two, the one he's with). They didn't flaunt his gay like 7r2 does. It was just a part of the character which is how it should be done. Not sexuslized and in your face like 7r2.
Tifa is still censored for 99% of the game
it isn't a win
7r bent the knee because 16 and SE wasn't supported so they chose to take Esg bucks because you don't vote with your morals anyway
To be fair dion feels more like fujobait. Besides out of touch boomers dont have that evil inside them. Dont forget GOT was really popular in Japan, and they still made Dion decent enough.

Well for one ESG funding is drying out at the moment so companies probably don't see a point in pandering for free anymore. They'll probably go back to doing the same shit once ESG is revived under a different name.
Based japs, the world should unite and destroy the Great Satan, the Anglo-americo-israeli evil alliance, before they destroy us all with their progressive poison
This is why economic corrections are fricking great. Cut the bloat and zombie corps who can only survive when the near-zero interest rate money cheat code is active.
Investors are pulling out of ESG funds because they all perform like shit and nobody likes losing money. Corporations are merely responding in kind.
homosexuals like Larry Fink will attempt a rebranding, but it's bound to fail again and again.

Sure, go back without hurting their wallet. Be a fricking doormat, morons. No, burn to the ground "ethics department" along with SE. I don't forgive shit
I am absolutely shocked and appalled that Square Enix would do something like this. I have always supported the company by buying their products and participating in the FFXIV community. I have always loved how diverse and inclusive that SE has been with all of their games. They have helped me get through a lot of tough times. When I had first transitioned, I had no one to talk to for help since I lived in a Republican, far right country. The only things that I had to fall back on was videogames and online communities. The FF14 community was a huge help in figuring out who I am.
The fact that SE is no longer supporting people like me is very disappointing. It feels like I am truly alone in this world.
Hiring too many feminists does weird things to a company. They forget century-old advertising truisms like "sex sells" and start to think their job is to change what people find beautiful instead. Cause you're not allowed to speak the truth to these people, nobody slaps them in the face and reminds them what their fricking purpose is.
>and start to think their job is to change what people find beautiful instead
in my experience
hear me out because i've had many kinds of jobs with females
most females aren't "starting to think that their job is" this or that
most females try to make an excuse for what they are do as being a job in itself
and it's usually an easy or trivial or subjective kind of job
because they are inherently lazier or bullshittier than men in the workforce
the difference between men and women is that men find a way to cheat the system they're currently in to get above
women find a way to PRETEND the system to masquerade as something important to the system so that they should get compensated heartily for it
does this or does this not make any sense
They always knew. This shit was always an effort to change people's mind, to change people's perception. >Hey guys... are liking women with sexy body kinda problematic? >Guys... underwear and panties are forbidden you know? Like they cause real crime >hey guys... let's do better in the future, okay?
That's why they kept making the same shit with Horizon, Flopspoken, etc. They hope the ignorant masses will think "oh, so no sex appeal is good now? Maybe I should follow suit!". That never really happened.
I used to post SO MANY TIMES about how ESG was a bug win for SE, because the exclusivity deal meant more moneyhatting for them. Now they're cutting ties with ESG I will be claiming this is a giant win instead. Its a shameless heelturn but this is the life I chose.
>Most people here denied this all the last decade
Back when they censored Bravely Default 2 when Nintendo was 100% ok with lewds on their platform I knew SquareEnix was a joke
This tweet/post is manufactured to increase attention. To put it in layman's terms:
>"Who is looking at Square's website everyday checking if ESG is there?" >"Why is this being posted shortly before a popular release?" >"What is the reason behind this if the shareholders have not changed?" >"When did Square announce they'd be cutting ties with ESG, a shareholder? (They didn't)" >"Where is this being posted? Twitter, a platform easy to post disguised misinformation that spreads like wildfire."
Always ask the 5 W's Who, What, When, Where, and Why.
>Boobs? No boobs >Boob physics? No boob physics >Revealing clothes boobs? No revealing clothes boobs >huge boobs? No huge boobs >string bikinis? No string bikinis
I don't have to use the 5 Ws because I just assume all information is false and won't parrot it without either A doing my own research or B actually seeing evidence of the change.
And to be clear, anime breasts bouncing in swimsuits is actually evidence, but just one piece of evidence means nothing. I'd have to wait for more game releases and judge for myself.
It's just the last desperate pump to stop a bubble from popping is my guess. The demake has largely alienated everyone by now, and cheap coomer bait can drown out any intelligent discussion if used correctly.
Just look at how everyone pretended to like cyberpunnk when the e-girl shit got released

Larry Fink announced ESG is backing off. The cyberattacks are just the beginning. Blackrock is investing in Israel and WW3 right now, they have a bigger priority than Black person dick in gaming.
Larry Fink said because the public found out about ESG they would immediately stop pushing it and come up with something else the public isnt aware of.
>Think this can come back as a simple "rebrand and come back later"
And then what? lose 10 trillion when no one buys their neoslop a second time? People didn't band up to defeat a big enemy with ESG, they simply didn't buy the shit they produced until they lost too much money to continue pumping it out, even fricking DC/Marvel is starting to cut down on this because no one fricking wants it.
The only way for something to stick is if people want it, no one fricking wants this, no matter how many times they try to rebrand.
The money is irrelevant, they are going to continue pushing it.
This is just about crafting a narrative, "ESG is gone now so the people pushing that we're actively fighting against boobs in video games are just dirty conspiracy theorists; there is no ESG in current year!"
>The money is irrelevant, they are going to continue pushing it.
No schizo conspiracy is gonna overcome the fact investors DO care about the money, once they stop seeing returns they pull out just like they are doing this time, the suits up top have no agenda except seeing the line go up, and the line will only go up if people are buying the shit they sell. >ESG is gone now so the people pushing that we're actively fighting against boobs in video games are just dirty conspiracy theorists; there is no ESG in current year!
ESG already is only known if you are involved in the schizo side in the first place, the average normalgay doesn't know or care, they just buy shit that appeals to THEM, and once they stop wanting to buy product, it will collapse again.

No they don't homosexual. If they wanted to make money they would churn out generic things 18-35 males and females (separate) like and listen to feedback from those demographics. They don't care because of their hubris partly caused by ESG. They are doing social engineering.
They could just shovel out generic genre shit the 18-35 masses would love, forever. There is no actual reason not to do this. But they won't, and you will never figure out why, liberal.
Four quadrant rule.
If they want the female market make games aimed at females instead of forcing them to play games aimed at males. Asian women are treated like queens when it comes to the media available to them.

Corporate suits in Japan
1- love earning goodboy points and doing high-status things (especially things that are high-status to foreigners)
2- are very prideful (both individually and nationally) and highly resent being bullied or disrespected.
ESG shit was adopted entirely due to #1, Japanese managers don't give a shit about woke values. They're as big a bunch of alcoholic oldschool sexists as you're likely to find in the developed world.
Then when Kotaku got blacklisted last year, I figured that it had broken through that actually both 1 and 2 were being violated - being conspicuously woke isn't actually all that high status, it's increasingly more associated with mentally ill activists than penthouse-suite philanthropy. And also those same mentally-ill activists were getting their way mostly through intimidation. Looks like I was right - and once you lose these guys, you will not be winning them back.
Normally I'd assume there's some other reason but this along with big breasts back in town is very positive.
>Normally I'd assume there's some other reason
There always is. Larry Fink himself told everyone just last year to move on from calling it ESG because it's "been weaponized" against him. They're going to rebrand and reintroduce it under a different moniker. Unless Square Enix got rid of all their shareholders too, the cancer hasn't actually been dealt with.
Vanguard stopped supporting it becuase it wasn't making money for investors. Vanguard is the only competitor to Blackrock. Even if Fink says "we are gonna rebrand it!!" Vanguard isn't going to work with it becuase of its financial failure. At the end of the day it was genuinely a pyramid scheme and the people at top already pulled out nearly a year ago.
Woke shit didn't come from ESG anon, its better to look at western influence than ESG
Its not making money and it was always a weird idea.
ESG is the one paying money to companies to put woke trash their games. Ameritrannies alone can't do that.
>They're going to rebrand and reintroduce it
What stops people doing the same thing again?
If you made ESG a dirty word. You could do the same to the next name.
In fact that would be the best option, because if they had to keep changing and re-branding, they can't focus on implementing.
So i fail to how this makes them win at all.
Companies/Corporations do that shit all the time. They get a bad reputation and they simply change their name and rebrand. Same old bullshit, new name. They think most people wont notice, and they don't
With how vocal right wing media is against Fink, any name he picks will be on youtube channels as soon as the day is done.
So no, it wont work this time. It aint as simple as changing a name in this case.
>What stops people doing the same thing again?
>If you made ESG a dirty word. You could do the same to the next name.
It takes a while to convince the public. Just until recently people tried to claim that ESG is some made up schizo conspiracy theory.
You just mention it is a rebrand of ESG.
Even the normies would pick up on that. Chuck in the name of Blackrock and Fink and they know it is the same product.
Blackpill mentality is not going to help you.
They want you to think they are god who never make mistakes.
But they are coked up humans, most of the time.
>but they are coked up humans, most of the time
The past few years have been a complete affirmation of that. FYI, globohomosexual is shitting itself because sabotaging the citizens that support the, only sends the message to the countries they're trying to curry favor with that they will do the same to their own people. Most of the countries that the US formerly subjugated with muh dollar see where the wind's going to blow and are essentially vying to take Amerilard's old spot on the hierarchy. You've lived long enough to see complete morons install a senile pedophile who shits himself as the U.S. Commander in Chief and act shocked when they lose a century's worth of power.
Remember when they tried like, three times to reignite covid and it didn't take because everyone was already sick of it and just wanted to go to the bar and have a drink again? You can't just try things over and over in the same generation.
No wonder Tifa's breasts were so massive, based Japan as always
didn't they nerf her breasts, what did I miss?
nerf this!
I swear I've seen about 3 blender models of tifa and aerith created for porn that looks more realistic than squeenix half-assed models.
A blender or SFM model only has to exist in a small space and can be rendered at any fps for as long as it takes to record the video they intend to release. A video game model has to exist in the video game world and not make your game run like ass by existing.
why the frick barret looks so damn real in comparison, then?
He's black
Men always look more detailed than women in jrpgs because if you give the women details morons freak out about them looking old and ugly. Barretts got wrinkles and more textured skin. If they did that to Tifa there would be outrage
>based Japan as always
>when they catered to ESG money in the first place
you fricking idiot
If a dog goes from shitting outside to shitting on the carpet, you get angry.
If the same dog then goes back to shitting outside, you praise it because you want to reinforce the good behaviour.
I wonder why...
measured by dollar, a fake currency.
I'd like to see how long you hold out when somebody approaches you with hundreds of millions of dollars and tells you "it'll be so easy to get this money, just listen to my ideas..."
Do I need to have finished the first game to play the new one?
The first game takes place in Midgar only. It's worth checking out to see how the remake reinagines the cast. Story wise, it's almost self-contained. Gameplaywise, there's no carry-over of character stats or items from a previous save.
Could KINO be back on the menu, boys?
>Tifa's boobs in FF7R 2 are bigger and jiggle with cleavage as seen in her bikini
I can see
lmao it was so fricking clear that all these jap devs thought woke shit was actually popular since wokeists have a stranglehold on mass media
it doesn't take too many flops to see what really sells
Reminds me of
>uh you all need to make brown third person shooters otherwise you'll never sell
Which lasted exactly one generation where it proved it wasn't true.
Sure, and that's why I'm not exactly dance-gif posting yet, but this is also alongside a general toe in the water feeling of companies wondering if maybe there is more money and fame/applause (which printed cash does not get them) in big booba.
>uh you all need to make brown third person shooters otherwise you'll never sell
>Which lasted exactly one generation where it proved it wasn't true.
Koei Tecmo actually fell for the meme and made a Gears of War clone on the PS3. It was a beautiful trainwreck.
That's good and all but let me know when the ethics committee is shuttered entirely

I still don't know what the frick ESG is, is it because I'm not a /misc/chud?
Pretty much.
"Environmental, social, and corporate governance (ESG) is a set of considerations, including environmental issues, social issues and corporate governance that can be considered in investing."
tl;dr "we give you a lot of money in exchange for doing what we ask."
you're a schizo moron
that's the exact google result you moron
good for you, I am referring to the pol shit you put at the end. Nobody is paying people to "ruin video games" or whatever shit you think
They are. That's what the 'S' in there stands for. Social engineering. They give vidya companies a shitload of money in exchange for doing the social engineering bullshit they want. Weren't you just claiming you had no idea what this was? Now you're telling people how it does and doesn't work?
can you try posting that again but not being a giant fatfrick polchud with a small dick?
Go melt in your bunker.
no no no, I said WITHOUT a small dick
angry little fricking nobody
I've never seen anyone seethe this hard.
>angry little fricking nobody
you sound like angry projecting midget israelite caricature kek
How the frick is "we give you a lot of money in exchange for doing what we ask" pol shit? it's literally investing.
Disingenuous homosexual
What the flying frick do you think "governance" stands for? Asking nicely?
>advertisement companies exist
>Nobody is paying cinemas to "ruin screentime" or whatever shit you think
>Nobody is paying movie studios to put product placements to "ruin movies" or whatever shit you think
>"Nobody is paying sport event organizers to "ruin breaks" or whatever shit you think"
I really, really, REALLY hope you are not this naive anon. Some companies would literally murder entire families if that meant that they will earn $1M more in the next fiscal year. They don't care about our entertainment, they care about money they can make from it.
>Nobody is paying people to "ruin video games" or whatever shit you think
Anon they were literally paying companies through investment funds to make design decisions that they otherwise wouldn't. Have you seriously not noticed how much work Debra Wilson gets?
That’s literally the purpose of it.
so is that why the OP twitter user is getting upset that SE dropped them?
Yes

It's nothing. Just a myth. Never proven to exist.

>Muh /misc/
Stfu moron and die.
I've talked to complete normies who work in finance and they knew what ESG was, so you might just be an uninformed moron
Are you a business man or familiar with so aaa game companys?
no, I just work as a consultant for banks, insurance companies, fund managers, etc
almost all of them are involved with ESG
ESG is far more relevant to those businesses than video games. It's literally just a thing companies can do to look better to investors and thus get extra money into your company via grants. Giant companies like banks, insurance, etc are going to do anything and everything available to them to get what is basically free money.
Misc only cries about it because of the S part, but it's a hell of a lot cheaper in the short term to promise or hire some "diversity" than to reduce carbon emissions, electrical use or anything to qualify for the environmental parts.
but much like anything involving wallstreet and stocks Ganker has no idea what the frick it's doing and only reacts to the surface level things they see.
if one company has higher ESG than others, even its revenue is the same as others and it will received higher rating and have higher EPS. As a result, its shareholder can enjoy higher stock price.
Can you answer a question for me, maybe you know a little about it:
The big companies like MS, EA or Sony have investors. Are these actually normal private people and can I, as a private person, also participate in this?
They can ask questions during the Q&A in the Earnigns Call. Can I also hire such people to ask questions there on my behalf?
You need at least 5% of the shares. So you should count your money first.
and the 2nd question:
Is there a way to hire a person who is qualified for the Q&A do the on my behalf?
it is because youre pretending to be moronic to "own me". youre owning me so hard right now by pretending you're so incredibly mentally moronic you cant go on google and type 3 letters holy shit
thanks bro now my wiener is SUPER hard knowing how mad I got you
fricking moron pouring gas on a fire lmfao
i told you that i am already aware that youre mentally ill
>look at me, I'm dumb as frick 🙂
Yes, and also because you're ignorant.
ESG has been public knowledge for quite a while, and not in a HAHA LOOK AT MY FUNNY INTERNET EVIDENCE, no, like, the actual people managing it talkign about it, and why it's good.
But to sum things up, yes there was a reason why everyone was putting diversity characters and ugly women in your vidya for a long time.
It wasn't a coincidence.
It was because of money and it was because of the joos as usual.
Well, just one joo, mainly. but still.
Name that joo
Its social engineering by way of investment. They dump a bunch of money on specific companies that push what they consider "proper" social themes. They restrict investment to companies that refuse to. Basically any company that wanted more funding had to bow down and virtue signal or they'd get starved out
it's because you're a moron, I'm sorry bro.
its israeli cultural subversion under the guise of social justice. many such cases.
I've heard of it before on Ganker as a big boogeyman, but I never really understood what it was. Looking it up online says it's
>(ESG) is a set of considerations, including environmental issues, social issues and corporate governance that can be considered in investing.
The part that really strikes me is;
>set of considerations
>can be considered in investing
So from that alone, I think you can interpret it as outside pressure to conform to certain norms or ideals in return for money.
In looking up information on it, I found this video;
Which seems to confirm that exact thing. It seems to be directly linked to forcing "Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) types on video games as they are one of if not the most popular form of getting your word directly translated to the masses, especially the younger more pliable generation.
So I would say Ganker are pretty correct in it being a Boogeyman. They sound positively evil.
Its not a boogeyman, they're literally out there right now pumping money into companies that will go with the flow. When companies put an ESG section on their website they're literally advertising that they will accept the conditions to get more investment
That's what I said at the end, anon;
>So I would say Ganker are pretty correct in it being a Boogeyman. They sound positively evil.
And here comes the BlackRock-ANTIFA troony doing damage control for Larry-Boi...
I hope that cocaine mixed with estrogen is really good.
You would think a lefty would be against corporate influence over free expression but I guess the corporations have really taken over every segment of every political ideology since the internet got big and the political paradigm changed. Now all lefties cuck to corporations to protect their freak friends feelings and all of the anti establishment right wingers act like unhinged schizos and feds.
Antifa is and has always been rich-israeli-funded
But the entire left didn't used to be in line with the ideals of Antifa.
>schizo theory
you don't even know any antifa soldiers lmao
Not him but you are innocent as frick
Wake up
oh yes, the people who a majority of which can barely make rent are toooooooooootally funded by "le evil" israeli men to travel and protest.
I know plenty of antigays. They can barely make rent because they spend all their money on apple products and starbucks. Oh, and they're all upper middle class homosexuals who just need to call dad up for some money if they ever actually can't make rent.
I am not right wing but, while the majority of them are just leftists who are too paranoid and psychologically weak to understand the importance of free speech in a society trying to stop rally's, occasionally helping when someone innocent is attacked by another group of freaks, but any movement that gets big enough and is talked about by the media enough in modern times is probably controlled, either as a magnet for radicals to keep an eye on them and control them as much as possible or as a cultural modifier.
Do you mean current antifa? Like in portland? Anon all the funding they need is maybe rent for some local hq, what the frick are they gonna fund? Sticks and rocks.
~~*They*~~ changes the narrative real quick after Occupy WallStreet. Every liberal normie did a complete 180 once big israeli corporations started celebrating homosexualry and other nonsense that they could get excited about
speak English, polACK
right away, Troonocchio.
You must not be a porn addict. If they didn't spam it nonstop over the last few years in fapbait threads 24/7, I wouldn't know about it either. Even /misc/ talks about this less than the porn addicts on Ganker.
It's a scapegoat for why AAA games are shit (they would be bad anyway).
>/pol/chud
You know exactly what ESG is, troon.
Basically a company in France named Blackrock pretty much offered endless funding for shit practices, and the shithead incharge of that realized his ass was not making anymore money, so he and his band of homosexuals basically stopped because even the most moronic of people now know what ESG and Blackrock is was along with the economy in America being in fricking shambles and now we have all these companies basically with nooses tied around their necks and the doors below them ready to fall away.
Basically the major entertainment industries are about to collapse completely and Japan took notice surprisingly pretty quickly so they're pivioting fast away from it.
there is going to be a lot more esg focused stuff coming out, flopping, and the people making it going under as the funding stopped and they were pushing the product out
>I still don't know what the frick ESG is, is it because I'm not a /misc/chud?
>I still don't know what the frick ESG is, is it because I'm not a /misc/chud?
Its an investment package like deferred comp or others. Basically you invest in ESG and it goes to a cluster of other companies. Companies wanted in on it because Obama and Blackrock were investing billions into it.
Im doing a bad job explaining it.
homosexual, even lefty youtuber admits they exist
?si=0FRHor_7BVjW2rmm&t=1745
That's right, be ignorant of the world around you. Never ask questions. Always follow authority. Buy the latest products. Consume at all costs.
>is it because I'm not a /misc/chud?
it's because you're a dumb ass, stop
>I still don't know what the frick ESG is
Essentially it's one rich guy with an infinite money machine that guesses good investments >50% of the time giving out loans to companies but only if they meet his criteria of what is "good".
He also happens to be israeli, which may have a role in why he does it because the israelites have some kind of religious doctrine about those with means doing good deeds to sorta kinda buy their way into heaven. /misc/ naturally incorporate ESG into their gobohomosexual agenda schizo canon rather than viewing it as an isolated event. I genuinely think Fink means well, but frick him all the same for the hubris.
It's because you're an NPC with zero grasp of how the world works. Don't you worry your little head about it.
>/pol/chud
>implying that this is some sort of nonsense and not something real
Literally open the website of ANY (adjective: whatever or whichever it may be) US bank website and I guarantee that you will find ESG reports or job postings with regards to ESG.
You'll get the gist of it even if you have no clue what ESG is about.
>IM STUPID OKAY!
It pretty much just means anti-white. Same as Diversity, Inclusion, Equity.

I feel they're bigger. Scarlet's are just more pushed up because she's a hag.
Scarlett probably has fakers. Tifafu is all natural.

Hilarious for this to happen exactly when Tifa is show to have fat milkers. It's probably a coincidence but very funny
Okay, good start. But what about this
oh n-
they're fricking tiny what are you gays talking about
>chuddies are so desperate for a win they think leftist are anti-sex despite the majority of us being sex-positive, we just hate exploitation.
They are adults and at the beach, morons.
They also have heaving heaving breasts.
I'm pretty sure not having a "gush about us" page on the website is -10000000 esg points so sweet baby will be on their case soon.
sweetbaby only does shit in the western division
oh you young little weeb
Uh oh, rebirthbros I don't feel so good
oof
Get an ad
Get a clue
They comrpomised while having complete control, it's the biggest sign of defeat there is. It only gets worse for them from here on. Leftoids never compromise if they can, especially not to a core tenant of their religion as such removing beautiful female depictions from media.
What the frick does ethics have to do with a red lion? Why would they have an agenda against talking fricking animals?
Just some idiot tweet the fact square is a client is the point
>Sweet baby inc involved with squeenix
Concerning
>Squeenix fine with breasts jiggling and bikini girls
Hmm.
Maybe the answer is Sweet Baby Inc is relenting? Like they realize their woke shit isn't selling, so the trannies are going "okay, you can have hot chicks in your anime games"?
Usually these fricks will fail until their company does, and then move on to the next company to ruin, but its possible Squeenix is just telling them "No, we need the breasts, they sell well".
the actual answer is that you morons think a consulting company is this all dictating power when they aren't
My post implied that they can be told "frick no, we're doing this other thing". How does that mean I think they hold all the power? Square can just walk up to their bosses and tell them "frick off!"? No, Square IS the boss of sweetbaby.
The issue is that Square thought "how do we make this "woke"" and sweetbaby went "I know!" and fricked things up. Western companies act like that too, but Sweet Baby has more influence over here.
Oh sweet. I really like their past works. Though they did a good job with SSKTJG and Spiderman 2. Look forward to seeing what they'll do with Square.
So has anyone followed the money trail to link sweetbaby as the new ESG rebranding?
They should make a good game now cause Rebirth is flopping below XVI
kek, Square Enix realised the people who like esg stuff dont buy games.
Your desperation is palpable, I genuinely pity you. You're like an abused slave.
Wasn't ESG effectively shut down for rebranding?
No, Japan has just been pulling a lot of their funding out of it, presumably because they realized it was just losing them money and we're about to enter a worldwide recession, so they need that money.
>Drop ESG
>suddenly big ass Tifa breasts in your face and babes in bikinis
I see this as a total victory
Is here a person who has worked in so such a aaa company?
Seed freedom and Tomino screwed the ESG. Thanks Fukuda!!! Destiny gundam spec 2 chopped ESG with arondight and Blasted ESG with Zeus railgun.
>Kira and Lacus FUGG
>Coomer Athrun breaks mind control by picturing naked Kagally
>Shinn wasn't a complete idiot
holy damn, SEED really saved Gundam.
Does marvelous have it? That all I care about is freeing senran from gachahell
Senran is dead, Takakai's soul left his body years ago and he left Marvelous completely. The gacha will be the last thing that ever comes out of this series unless he miraculously decides to come back.
dead series, marvelous has gone WOKE
i hate japan
SE WON
TENDIES SEETHING
>Outsourced pozzing to SweetBaby Inc
SE is an honorary white (american) company
The ESG boogieman is the stupidest shit. Do you morons know why they'll add some gay characters to a game and call it a day for ESG stuff? It's not because it's "woke". it's because it's cheaper than doing anything else.
>10 ESG credits have been deposited into your account
WE'RE BACK
What's ESG?
Maybe theres some hope for SE yet.
I thought these people rebranded.
Yyyikes!
These "people" unironically need to be thrown into a gas chamber.
Is it the beginning of the end?
>The Dark Lord was suddenly aware of him, and his Eye piercing all shadows looked across the plain to the door that he had made; and the magnitude of his own folly was revealed to him in a blinding flash, and all the devices of his enemies were at last laid bare.
yes. God know how much money they paid to shills for FF7RB. if FF7RB fails, at least investors will totally give up them. But before that, Sony already jumped the ship by only giving them 3months exclusive deal.
Their ESG shit is pumping into FF14's dawn trail. If you heard any of their conferences over the upcoming expansion, they are singing the praises of a trans furry cat being the center of attention (the voice actor is trans), and how they're trying to make any real world culture brought over as inspiration to be "more sensitive" and stupid shit like that.
Because ESG doesn't exist anymore, Blackrock got rid of it because they are on life support now.
Thank fricking god. Seems like this clown world is healing, and the masses are finally standing up to the trannies.
The normies finally cracked and are dealing with severe troony fatigue syndrome.
Now we know how european boomers felt after nazi occupation ended. It was a hard couple of years for us gamers, being oppressed by troony scum. Hopefully history will learn from our sacrifice.
WE'RE SO BACK
I'm guessing shit games like forspoken and ff16 were close to ruining the company, so Square saw the need to MILK FF7 rebirth for all its worth.
so far rebirth has worse pre orders than xvi so I expect it to be the final blow lmao
PC gamers will save them after 3 months and Sonygays are fake gamers.
Nah, PC gamers don't pay for late ports.
If you want me to buy your game it'd better release day and date, otherwise I'm pirating or waiting until it's $20.
OK. so if fake gamers on PS5 don't FF7 RB, SE is fricked.
>so far rebirth has worse pre orders than xvi
So 3 million in one week on one console while garbage like persona and yakuza could only sell 1 million on 5 platforms?
this is 3 month exclusive deal. Sony only paid minimal because of low ESG score.
>hey these guys who used to shit in your mouth stopped shitting in your mouth because nobody is paying them to shit in your mouth anymore
>"based"
The frick is wrong with you homosexuals?
>leftoid food analogy
>guys things getting better are bad because they used to be bad
Never trust a company. But, nothing wrong with being happy you can enjoy what they produce.
If anything Sneedix has produced in the past 2 decades was enjoyable to you at all, you shouldn't be here. The last good FF was IX.
thank you for your opinion but who asked?
You did.
Well, you see, I'm happy that they got rid of the guys who want to shit in my mouth. I say "Want to" because I haven't bought a square game in a while, so my mouth has gone unshat. Regardless, that's still reason to be happy.
>The guy who used to punch you got arrested so now he won't punch you.
>Who cares, that guy used to punch me.
See how stupid that analogy is?
That's not the same analogy, you are still visiting the dude who punched you and praising him but he stopped because he doesn't want to get arrested again.
I won't believe the ESG dragon has been slain until I have sat for 3 days with its corpse. Perhaps Square Enix has cast off the malign influence of Larry Fink, we shall see. But it's too soon to say the industry is truly healing.
Trust in ESG guidelines as a reliable predictor of an enterprise's long-term success has been plummeting for a while now.
It was a trust based system, so once the trust is gone, shareholders stop using it to inform their investments and companies stop using it to try and lure shareholders.
I do wonder if there will be some 'new standard' for shareholders to follow like cattle going forward but for now I'm simply happy that ESG, being the generally shitty set of guidelines it is, is collapsing.
For video games pandering to coomers seems to work based on BG3 massive success with its nudity and sex.
for PS5 exclusive, no.
for PC games, yes
God bless true gamers only on PC.
The whole ESG brand is getting killed off due to "growing negative image" (translation: too much noticing) It will be back in some new form under a different name, you should know how this works by now.
Already did, Sweet Baby, it even has the pedo symbol kek
Good thing I'm a lvl 60 noticer so it won't take long to sniff out their new guise
They don't need to do anything at this point. Our countries are being destroyed through mass immigration and the biggest "challenge" to this is Donald Trump and people like Farage, Le Pen and Meloni. Things are looking very grim currently.
Japan got tricked into ESG by seeing big budget triple A western titles and not realizing nobody buys them
Big budgets are a massive trap. It just increases the number of sales you need for the game to be profitable. This is essentially gambling. You inflate the budget while hoping it will inflate sales by an even greater proportion. But the truly most vile thing about it is that these budgets are not grown organically, they're injected into the company via outside investment, and it always comes with strings attached, which is how we got the current ESG paradigm.
Blackrock tricks companies into taking its money, then places heavy restrictions on how they can use it, which sabotages their projects, which results in the studios and publishers losing lots of money. Blackrock doesn't care, or didn't care, because they have essentially infinite money, and don't care about returns. Except with the Fed hiking interest rates, even Blackrock can't afford to toss away billions on propaganda anymore.
Yes they're aware ESG is a toxic brand now, but there's also the fact that the current economic climate is very bad for reckless investment. Blackrock WILL be back, but it won't be for a little while yet.
They literally make money off shit flopping by shorting stocks and other nefarious methods. They know full well shit won't sell but they manipulate the markets and make money off it anyway. That's the most diabolical thing about investors. Stuff does well? They make money? Stuff does badly? They make money. This is why they don't want companies to have stable profits, the big money is made when line goes up or line goes down
capcom removed esg from dogma 2 as well
I have been seeing this image everywhere for the past week and thought from the text and hair it was supposed to be a khajit Marcus Aurelius, but your filename just made me realize it's a stupid zoomer meme.
I hate this fricking place now.
>capcom removed esg from dogma 2 as well
it's far too late games are in production for a decade these days so we will not be seeing games improve outside of minor ways until the current slop has worked it's way through the pipeline unless the big devs decide to just burn everything and start from scratch and that's expensive, i don't expect many to survive that long.
You love to see it.
BASED WOKE-DENIERS
And remember to buy your gas from Exxon btw, WOKIES WILL NOT BE HAPPY.
WE ARE WINNING THE CULTURE WAR.
that game on the left looks like complete shit tbh. generic garbage tier weeb crap. Its just as bad as the games on the bottom for different reasons.
I don't understand why everyone here thinks Stellar Blade is going to be goty. I get that the girl and the rest of the characters are cute and attractive but it just looks like Nier Automata all over again. Plus the company behind SB has been known to censor designs in their coomer gacha game anyway.
>I don't understand why everyone here thinks Stellar Blade is going to be goty.
Okay, fair opinion
> but it just looks like Nier Automata all over again
So...goty then?
Nah
>that game on the left looks like complete shit tbh.
nice try troony
I like FF7 rebirth though. I just overly weeby shit like that game on the left and Nier or Persona. Its too cringe for me compared to other Jap games like FF and Zelda and Resident Evil.
>. Its too cringe for me compared to other Jap games like FF
FF went to shit after they stopped being anime games and started pandering to the west
FF has always been westaboo as frick, go to bed zoomzoom.
>FF has always been westaboo as frick
not FF1-9
The artstyle and the games were Anime as frick
The first 6 games were all very western like most JRPGs at the time because they were all inspired by Wizardry, Ultima, and D&D. 7 was the first one that went for heavy anime inspiration.
>Wizardry, Ultima, and D&D.
Yes they were inspired by that but all the jrpg at that time had anime artstyle including DQ and FF
Amano's promotional art isn't really 'anime'. You don't know what Amano looks like when he's trying to draw anime?
the quality of the game is irrelevant in this context. he is just saying that adding hot girls bring you dough
No one cares about any of the games he listed tho. The Stellar blade and demake have no genuine love surrounding them which is why they get so little engagement across social media.
Tell me your a tendie without telling people your a tendie.
nope pc gay.
Even worse.
t. inferior race
>The pc fat gets the leftovers at the end and say thanks Console-sama.
PlayStation has no games and I can emulate nintendo shit. Can you say the same?
whats the game in the top left?
japs have been infected to their core, that's why they don't need it anymore, ""their"" job is done.
If a game has big boobs and waifus, you can't suddenly object when they start bringing out the gay twinks too.
>you can't suddenly object when they start bringing out the gay twinks too.
Frick you mean start? Our favorite character is a gay twink.
One is normal the other is not.
That's simply the truth. Sex to create life is a natural urge. Mimes exist, but they're not common place, so they show up rarely. You don't see mimes being pushed everywhere. They've also been insulted and even attacked since their inception.
Imagine if they started making sure character don't eat anything in games. Why? Opening an orifice to put food in it? That's disgusting! No more food, NO. MORE. MOUTHS! No more reminder of eating!
Noses? Those DISGUSTING HOLES ON YOUR FACE? They should be removed from characters!
No more references to eating or breathing in these games! NEVER AGAIN!
THIS IS THE CORRECT BELIEF, I'M THE MORALLY CORRECT ONE AND RIGHT ONE, BECAUSE I SAID SO I WILL ATTACK YOU AND MAKE THREATS AGAINST YOU ONLINE IF YOU DISAGREE
NO MORE SEXUALITY, EATING OR BREATHING!
But some animals have been shown to engage in homosexuality when they're in highly stressful environments in captivity so that's natural too
>One is normal the other is not.
Normal is an arbitrary metric.
Biology disagrees on this. In order for you to even live and have thoughts and ideas heterosexual sex had to occur.
>Biology disagrees on this
This is an irrelevant statement. Normal remains an arbitrary metric. Biology is a basic b***h.
Just because you like something doesn't mean it should be everywhere, please accept that reality.
Whatever a creator likes should be within their creation. Deal with it, coward.
This is fine, so long as you don't fund campaigns to push this rare thing someone likes.
Some people have coprophagia and enjoy eating shit.
I don't want all my characters suddenly to have coprophagia and it pushed on me.
It's WEIRD
Your entire perception of reality is arbitrary. Every definition of anything is arbitrary.
What's queer about the FF7 remake?
you tell me, I ain't ever playing this shit
I hate gays so much, why do they have to ruin everything? Why do they want everyone to be gay? If everyone became gay they still wouldn't stop. Their hunger would never be sated.
Good for them but Snoy has to fall and from the ashes we will rebuild...yes, WE
So...die snoy
E.S.G
D.E.I
S.W.E.E.T. B.A.B.Y
Part 3 of this remake is fricked as snoy probably isnt going to pay them for it like they did with part 1 and 2. I have to imagine part 3 will be lower budget because of this. Part 1 was like at least a year PS4 only but Part 2 is only 3 months. Part 3 probably won't be PlayStation exclusive at all.
i would never understand why people make a big deal about sexualized content or not in games
bro is 2024,you can literally find thousands of 4k porn for free,does your CUMBRAIN needs to be horny 24/7?
well said, feminist ally!
Yes
>ESG ISN'T REAL!
>ok maybe ESG is real but it's a good thing!
>ok ESG is actually destroying sales of games and ruining it for absolutely everyone
>very well ESG is no more we are cancelling the ESG initiative!
(You are here)
>Now time to change it's name and bring ESG back!
It's real but it's always been irrelevant. Unless you're some dipshit who only plays AAA western titles.
>It's real but it's always been irrelevant.
You clearly have no idea how propaganda works, or are so stupid as to believe you are immune to it.
Not a single game I have played in the last decade has been affected by it in an capacity I gave a shit about.
Maybe I am immune to it by not being a giant b***h baby like most of the board.
>100 ESG credits have been deposited into your account
Censoring doesn't work for ESG money. "look we hid the breasts" doesn't get the grant. You both do not comprehend ESG and do not understand my perspective either because I hate censorship too. But the censored games weren't because of ESG, just wienersuckers at Sony.
Sorry but you're moronic and have no idea what you're talking about at all. People like you are exactly why so many people think ESG and are boogeyman because you're so firmly confident in your made up moronic bullshit. ESG is absolutely a scale. Do you think ESG is some twirling mustache guy sitting in the corner? Jesus fricking christ.
Listen to yourself
>ESG is absolutely a scale
Yes, and you know what's low on that scale? Hiding breasts.
Hiding breasts is far less important if you make every other npc a literally gay Black person or ripped buff beef cake man or have gay ass Cloud Sephiroth scenes or have cross dressing mini games etc.
Adding breasts back in a beach scene while still having her censored for 99% while adding the rest is definitely a scale. And you're still losing, and choosing to rejoice it as a a win
I can't hear you over these fat, jiggly breasts onscreen, you'll have to speak up.
So? You can't make men's dicks stop getting hard when they see pussy from advertising. That's always been the impossible hurdle. Why do you think it created a fad of insane bipolar feminist rapists? Because you can't take the dog out of a man.
You are too stupid to notice cause and effect. Do you know what measures extremely high on ESG scale? Percentage of women in the company, particularly in managerial or other lead positions. Guess which women are most likely to get hired at a company that is trying to cultivate a high ESG score? The kind of women who think female characters need to be ugged up.
So yes, hiding breasts and ugging women is a direct result of ESG-based hiring.
>he thinks ESG hiring is gonna happen in Japan
VII always had the gay shit my man.
That means one of two very different things:
A: You totally avoid shit games, which is good.
B: You play shit games and happily gulp down the poz, which is bad.
>he thinks ESG is exclusive to video games
ESG is, if anything, struggling to find any footing in the video game industry. They've thrown around billions of dollars and gotten most of the AAA industry on board to some degree, but reception has been overall poor.
Comparatively, ESG is firmly entrenched in Hollywood, as well as the tech industry, and has virtually every major finance firm at the very least paying lipservice to it.
Actually zoomers are immune to propaganda because they are literally too stupid to understand it.
The next generation is full of based morons that the shitty scheming politicians and world leaders can't control because they're too busy destroying their mind through weed and toilet meme videos. I'm a firm believer in the theory that the stupidity of the common child will save us all.
>zoomers are immune to propaganda
God I wish this was true
>The next generation is full of based morons
Gen Alpha is full of deranged feral sociopaths who can barely speak and behave like they belong in a straight jacket.
And that's a good thing
We need to go back to being cavemen if we ever wish to regain intellect
>Actually zoomers are immune to propaganda because they are literally too stupid to understand it.
The fact you think this means you are in all likelihood already totally programmed by propaganda.
You don't get it man, I've experienced talking with the current generation, they're all zombies with no drive, they care only about their own pleasure and nothing else.
They'd need a brain first to care about politics.
But again, I'd rather this world filled with drug addict hippies than people who willingly let themselves be slaves.
Again, you fundamentally do not understand propaganda because you are describing people who have been completely conditioned by it already.
Their parents certainly do, but their kids couldn't care any less.
out of all my youngest relatives, the only one that does give a shit only does so to pick up guys
You're only saying they're controlled because you're part of the generation that still takes this bullshit seriously. We are dying out.
>but their kids couldn't care any less.
Because they've been demoralized by propaganda. Why do you have trouble grasping this? Do you think the only purpose of propaganda is to sway people to hold particular ideologies? One of the oldest and most effective uses of propaganda is to instill apathy in a population, to make them ineffective to their rulers.
It's not the propaganda, it's their parents forcing their beliefs on them and them rejecting it out of pure contrarianism and rebellion.
They choose not to participate because it's boring and doesn't interest them, not because their spirit was broken. Mainstream media has started a big push to educate the current generation solely because they refuse to listen to them anymore. They even shat their pants when the kids today refused to support israel
NTA, but you don’t seem to understand what propaganda is. These people wouldn’t be perpetual children if they had a semblance of moral structure in their lives.
Morality is often the drive of life. Just look at how many westerners fill their moral needs with consumerist activism.
Them being depressed sacks of shit with nothing to live for has nothing to do with propaganda. It's due to the world being on it's last legs.
Incorrect, the deconstruction of social morals is EXACTLY why so many people are depressed sacks of shit.
Humans are social animals and learn by imitation. The depression spreads because so many people have zero external examples to use to improve themselves against.
A people that is senseless, purposeless, anxious and on edge. That’s the purpose of propaganda: break the foundation of the audience so they come to rely on you as an information authority.
You keep acting like they're born infected by the propaganda.
I think you're the only who fell for it, since you seem to think it can't be stopped and are acting like it's some plague that gets you no matter what
You seem to believe people are born with culture. Propaganda is simply a means to disconnect a people with their cultural roots, thereby creating a purposeless people.
Furthermore, being apathetically depressed is not the normal for human behavior, so it’s ridiculous to insist it’s the default.
>You seem to believe people are born with culture
Never said that.
>Propaganda is simply a means to disconnect a people with their cultural roots
They don't give a frick about culture in the first place, not because they were brainwashed, but because they're stupid.
>furthermore, being apathetically depressed is not the normal for human behavior
It is for a dying race. AI is in the first stages of replacing us.
>never said that
You clearly implied it.
>they don’t give a frick about culture in the first place
Because they have been DEnied their cultural MORALity. Learn English, Black person.
>it is for a dying race
Your bloodline is the only thing dying in this race.
>Because they have been DEnied their cultural MORALity
By who? Their parents? Their teachers? Anyone else they were never gonna listen to in the first place because they were born without souls?
The people who design the education curriculum that they are forcefully exposed to from the ripe age of 4.
Stop playing dumb, anon. Don’t pretend that we don’t have institutions specifically designed to prepare children for adulthood.
Children don't even pay attention to anything in school anymore, so no it's not that.
They only care about meme videos and weed.
Probably the result of the pandemic home schooling being so ass they could just leave the computer and frick off
Children not paying attention in school is a result of a change in the curriculum that makes it impossible for the teachers and parents to “teach like we were taught”.
This issue started long before smart phones and the internet. When the teachers and parents lost grasp on what was being taught to students, they also became incapable of making the students care.
It’s interesting to see how schools that defy the poor education norms in this nation always have a few individuals who actually care about their role as an educator.
Ah, but weakening the people you rely on to keep the power on and live your luxurious lifestyle is not a particularly good idea when your mortal enemies that see you for the demons you are exploit that and start making power plays. How are you going to stop them starting a gold-backed currency, send your tuxedo ass yourself to go shoot their leaders? When your meatshields are demoralized you are defenseless.
ESG just proved to everybody paying attention that evil truly is stupid and digital panty shots are the signifier of a clean, moral, and advance civilization.
""""Morality""" is a chud buzzword to justify lynching PoC and raping women
Americans read “demoralization” and they think discouragement. They don’t understand it’s the deconstruction of social morality.
No, I understood that.
My point is that it's blowing up in their faces
They're too broken to be of any use
>Healing level status: Cosmic
You don't understand... none of you understand. The status quo has already been destabilized and the younger generations have already been indoctrinated into the cult. It doesn't fricking matter that ESG shit is getting pulled because it's already the fricking norm for so many brainless NPCs who can't think for themselves. ESG didn't retreat, the war is over and the damage is done and after surveying the casualties and losses they simply rode off into the sunset knowing that they've permanently altered the landscape and there's nothing we can do to fricking fix it.
Imagine thinking you can actually defeat human sexuality. Imagine thinking anything is forever, except for ass and breasts.
>the younger generations have already been indoctrinated into the cult.
they would had need to actualy SEE the propaganda in order to be indrocrinated anon
you cannot show propaganda to people that refuses to see your product
But they see commercials. They see cartoons and movies and TV shows that push the "new normal" constantly. Advertisements in every fricking square inch of their field of view at all times. Every company on the face of the earth could drop their ESG initiatives overnight and it wouldn't make a single fricking difference at this point. Your so called healing will never come because it's too late. I envy your optimism and hope I'm wrong. I want to be wrong, I really do, but god damn it I don't see it stopping in my lifetime.
Lol imagine not realizing the entire ESG initiative is corporate controlled from top to bottom INCLUDING the social media posts praising that bullshit and crying about Yukari boob size mods
>But they see commercials.
nobody watches TV anymore anon
And the ads on smartphones are schizo match four games about women in bikinis farting on each other. Probably not much better, but it's certainly not controlled.
>uh when the anti-big boobs companies puts big hotted boobs back in that's actually because they're winning
Good little sheep
>And the ads on smartphones
who DOESNT have addblocks thesedays?
you can even addblock tiktok
A lot of zoomers, apparently. They're always making memes about whatever latest bullshit ad is up, like that flying gorilla.
>like that flying gorilla.
no idea what that is
The cope from you people is unreal...
There are actual, real, human beings who have been brainwashed actually believe this shit. These people exist in real life as much as you believe they don't.
You're right, you can't stop men's dicks from getting hard by the female form but you can make men feel ashamed for it, leading to the whole "basedboy" culture and supposed "male feminists"
Streaming services and fricking youtube have commercials too, moron. Commercials are everywhere but good attempt at cherrypicking my post, a solid B+
Also...
>who DOESNT have addblocks thesedays?
Zoomlings who believe that not watching youtube ads are literally stealing from their precious content creators.
Most shame only lasts for as long as you're still maintaining it. Equilibrium will naturally reassert itself. Societies have gone through many periods of sexual repression and it always just comes back up to the waterline. You literally can't browbeat people out of sexuality forever.
Unbutton Yuffie's shorts, you cowards.
How do lefty morons deal with the cognitive dissonance of billion dollar companies pushing financially backed social propaganda that aligns with the current hard left-wing ideals?
You're talking about the people who would buy all kinds of corporate products and then march in rallies against Wall Street
Remember what the Wall Street 99% protests first started and then magically all the SJW stuff cropped up? I remember.
They break out their electric bottle lid twister, spend the next 5 minutes writing anti-white rage posts on social media while waiting the for the machine to open up their bottle of soimilk, and then guzzle it down while orgasmically screaming out the names of their favourite corporations.

Thank you marketer-san
Very cool
ESG isn't real you brainwashed pol homosexuals, you're just looking for a scapegoat which only circles back to you go "REEEEEEEE TEH israelites". Companies have always held a moral left-leaning stance, it's not a israeli conspiracy or whatever the frick, you want your product to appeal to the most amount of people possible, and that starts by not offending people. think you absolute redneck stuck-in-the-past morons
Hate to break it to you, but most people aren't offended by sexy women and happily consume products that play into that.
>"most people"
>says the Gankertard who doesn't leave his mommy's basement
yawn, post the bit about how you think "normal people" are transphobic by "default" next
Most people that play video games are still straight men with a healthy sex drive, especially in Japan where this game was made. This doesn't have anything to do with trannies, so why are you bringing that up?
More people on earth are offended by homosexuals by several orders of magnitude relative to the number of homosexuals who exist in sum total.
so what does this ESG thing do? do they give them money or some sort of support?
Companies get free money from American taxpayers in exchange for filling certain criteria, such as putting homosexuals in their games and marching in pride parades.
ESG money isn't from taxes. it's not a goverment entity. It's literally a guideline for investors that care about ESG to decide where to put their money.
Now the company you're sending your retirement money to can decide to invest in an ESG company and lose your retirement but that's not taxes.
>ESG money isn't from taxes. it's not a goverment entity.
Oh boy you have no idea lol
Blackrock gets all their money straight from the fed and they amassed their fortune to begin with because they were chosen to manage assets and payments related to 9/11 payouts
Do you understand what an investment firm is? They get their money from other people and invest it on their behalf. That is not government money.
What you are doing is confusing every billion+ dollar entity abusing loopholes and tax benefits to essentially wipe their own debt away while borrowing from the government. But I have bad news for you, every fricking giant corporation and individual of massive wealth does that.
They all do it. And do you know why bigger entities that own several smaller ones like Amazon don't give a shit when a smaller one they own like Twitch is essentially hemorrhaging money? Because it's a tax write-off. And most of the money they are "hemorrhaging" is paying Amazon for their bandwidth usage. Aka it costs Amazon pennies on the dollar and then they get to claim they lost that money on twitch's taxes. It's a net positive that they can spin into any narrative they like to people who do not comprehend what is going on behind the scenes to get a "woo-is-me" pity party while twitch lays off employees.
It's all a scam and you fell for it by thinking one boogieman was somehow the only one doing that shit.
>They get their money from other people and invest it on their behalf. That is not government money.
And I'm telling you that their fortune originates from the government giving them tax payer money which they invested and profited from.
https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2020-05-21/how-larry-fink-s-blackrock-is-helping-the-fed-with-bond-buying
ESG means Environmental, Social, and Governance, it's an evaluation of a corporation's impact on society evaluated by 3 different rubrics. The ESG rubric gives a final score to a company, which "ethical investors" use to determine if a company is deserving of investment. One particular investment firm, Blackrock, is sitting on trillions of dollars, literally infinite wealth, and will pump millions of dollars into companies based almost entirely off of ESG scores, and a lot of these are entertainment and media companies.
By sheer coincidence, any company Blackrock invests in for ESG reasons soon becomes pozzed, pushing diversity and other woke shit. Because that's the social aspect of the ESG score, it's by far the easiest one to pander to in order to improve the score. Environment is extremely hard, as is governance. Easy to hire a bunch of minorities and women and pay them to do nothing. Easy to put a rainbow flag on their company twitter account. Etc. Easy to to do a bunch of new movies / TV shows / games that push a social message in line with ESG values.
They invest in companies that will go along with pushing all the "woke" shit that people hate. They freeze out other companies that wont. They're picking winners and losers using economic might to reshape the landscape of not just video games, but things like movies, tv shows and even the kinds of foods you eat
Maybe Team Ninja will remember people enjoy fanservice
I can't tell what to believe
I work in finance at a f100
Esg and blackrock are real
But what I'm unsure about is what's happening here. FF16 bombed despite them defending their anti-esg stances (literally places like vee's fault) and they added tons of nigs and queer shit to ffviir2. But they backtracked SOMEWHAT on Tifas breasts. So I think they're just trying to find the right balance. Add gays and blacks but increase lewd as well for optimal sales. They certainly aren't against blackrock since they literally just folded to Polygon seething about no blacks in 16
Yeah but XVI has a heavier tie in with Square-Enix California, the writing team is more English.
This makes no sense as a response no matter how I try to read it. They added Black folk and queer shit to FFVIIR2 due to it backfiring on them defending their stances with FFXVI. If anything, it shows the opposite of what you're saying? FFXVI being California is the one telling ESG to frick off, not Japan. Japan seen FFXVI backlash and added every other npc as black in 7R2 and every third couple being woman woman or guy guy
Yeah but VII always was diverse, in the traditional sense, not the ESG sense.
XVI's stuff with the gay prince trying to ape on GoT is less subtle.
I doubt you ever played 16 if you think the second best character in the game with a single ten second scene about being gay, is anywhere near as aggregious as FFVIIR2. You're actually moronic because 16 literally told magazines like Destructoid to frick off about the "wheres mah nigs" questions. And 16 had breasts anyway. 17r2 bent the knee, not 16, and you're just seething about Bahamut being a gay when it actually helped his character. breasts are less important on wag2scsle than nigs nigs nigs nigs queer queer queer queer, both of which 7R2 is filled with and 16 had literally, literally, one gay character (well two, the one he's with). They didn't flaunt his gay like 7r2 does. It was just a part of the character which is how it should be done. Not sexuslized and in your face like 7r2.
Tifa is still censored for 99% of the game
it isn't a win
7r bent the knee because 16 and SE wasn't supported so they chose to take Esg bucks because you don't vote with your morals anyway
To be fair dion feels more like fujobait. Besides out of touch boomers dont have that evil inside them. Dont forget GOT was really popular in Japan, and they still made Dion decent enough.
This is like when people say Kojima became a mason. He is too fricking autistic for that. At most he went to some weird party, thought "naruhodo, so these gaijins do that. So tbh ne" then went back to drool after actors/actresses, since its what Kojima wants to do
>But the troony!
Literally imposed if you got mason money. This is like when you are forced to hire the boss nephew.
This is pure kojima drone cope he has been pushin sjw trash lately
Well for one ESG funding is drying out at the moment so companies probably don't see a point in pandering for free anymore. They'll probably go back to doing the same shit once ESG is revived under a different name.
Based japs, the world should unite and destroy the Great Satan, the Anglo-americo-israeli evil alliance, before they destroy us all with their progressive poison
>having to add Anglo-Americo to shield your master
Ah, the good old divide and conquer tactic.
epic store games? what?
This is why economic corrections are fricking great. Cut the bloat and zombie corps who can only survive when the near-zero interest rate money cheat code is active.
>economic corrections are fricking great
You sounds like billionaire, are you?
Investors are pulling out of ESG funds because they all perform like shit and nobody likes losing money. Corporations are merely responding in kind.
homosexuals like Larry Fink will attempt a rebranding, but it's bound to fail again and again.
>it's bound to fail again and again
WE HOPE
All it needs is the right marketing, the right news broadcasts, and the right timing.
Get some chud to blow up a major politician, have the news focus on his favourite hobbies and how much of a good hardworking person he was BEFORE those hobbies (real/AI photos of the guy before and after. Throw in some dramatic music), and the public will be convinced faster than you can say Quidditch.
Can we get capcom back too? hopefully rebirth sends the message and capcom catches it
Capcom won't take the hint until a game in their main series flops tremendously, and even then I'm not so sure. Capcom was notorious for not giving a shit about players/fans feedback back in the day.
>capcom
>back
but we are
theyre 100% back to making the dumbest most fricktard decisions you can imagine. good old crapcoms back, baby!
>he thinks the miracle years was the standard
Capcom games are just fun to play and still appealing enough
Crapcom is too far down the ESG rabbithole

>You aren't getting sex, and if you tell me you are, then you aren't getting sex. Your only option is to say nothing so that I can say you aren't having sex.
I've touched more pussy than you've seen. Try to prove me wrong without saying "In my fantasy world, you didn't". You'll find I'm immune to sentences like that.
>t'isn't having sex
you wouldn't be this defensive if you were having sex :3
I'm not being defensive, I just made a statement. Getting defensive is stuff like "Yes I am! You can't say that, you can't say that!". Instead I just challenged you and waited. And by the way, that comment is just "In my fantasy world, you aren't having sex ;3", so I guess we know who was right.

CHUDBROS WE'RE WINNING
>enemy spends billions and we defeat them by doing nothing
Always were
I am absolutely shocked and appalled that Square Enix would do something like this. I have always supported the company by buying their products and participating in the FFXIV community. I have always loved how diverse and inclusive that SE has been with all of their games. They have helped me get through a lot of tough times. When I had first transitioned, I had no one to talk to for help since I lived in a Republican, far right country. The only things that I had to fall back on was videogames and online communities. The FF14 community was a huge help in figuring out who I am.
The fact that SE is no longer supporting people like me is very disappointing. It feels like I am truly alone in this world.
>it took 5 years for a company to realize gamers want breasts
How? This used to be common knowledge
Hiring too many feminists does weird things to a company. They forget century-old advertising truisms like "sex sells" and start to think their job is to change what people find beautiful instead. Cause you're not allowed to speak the truth to these people, nobody slaps them in the face and reminds them what their fricking purpose is.
>and start to think their job is to change what people find beautiful instead
in my experience
hear me out because i've had many kinds of jobs with females
most females aren't "starting to think that their job is" this or that
most females try to make an excuse for what they are do as being a job in itself
and it's usually an easy or trivial or subjective kind of job
because they are inherently lazier or bullshittier than men in the workforce
the difference between men and women is that men find a way to cheat the system they're currently in to get above
women find a way to PRETEND the system to masquerade as something important to the system so that they should get compensated heartily for it
does this or does this not make any sense
for what they are doing*
curse my inadvertant eslism
They always knew. This shit was always an effort to change people's mind, to change people's perception.
>Hey guys... are liking women with sexy body kinda problematic?
>Guys... underwear and panties are forbidden you know? Like they cause real crime
>hey guys... let's do better in the future, okay?
That's why they kept making the same shit with Horizon, Flopspoken, etc. They hope the ignorant masses will think "oh, so no sex appeal is good now? Maybe I should follow suit!". That never really happened.
How else would they shill black culture? by banning boobs zoomesr would have no choice but to go after asses, which is exactly what happened
I used to post SO MANY TIMES about how ESG was a bug win for SE, because the exclusivity deal meant more moneyhatting for them. Now they're cutting ties with ESG I will be claiming this is a giant win instead. Its a shameless heelturn but this is the life I chose.
That's the beauty of being Anonymous
Did Forspoken have that much of an impact on Square? lol
why is nilbeheim still full of ugly nogs? sweet baby had their hands in this game without a doubt. I’ll pass.

NATURE IS HEALING
Too little too late. Let them die and use their corpse as a warning for those that would try this once ESG rebrands itself
>a group of schizos literally spending BILLIONS in

Pretty sure if whites or asians had that money we would be creating robowaifus, create a real SAO, traveling around, etc
Man its frustrating how life is so wasted just for some miserable sewer rats
There is something really hilarious in some losers unironically recording black x White woman to "teach us a lesson"
Well shit, guess that means I have to buy their stuff now again.
This tweet/post is manufactured to increase attention. To put it in layman's terms:
>"Who is looking at Square's website everyday checking if ESG is there?"
>"Why is this being posted shortly before a popular release?"
>"What is the reason behind this if the shareholders have not changed?"
>"When did Square announce they'd be cutting ties with ESG, a shareholder? (They didn't)"
>"Where is this being posted? Twitter, a platform easy to post disguised misinformation that spreads like wildfire."
Always ask the 5 W's Who, What, When, Where, and Why.
Put it in breasts terms instead.

I don't have to use the 5 Ws because I just assume all information is false and won't parrot it without either A doing my own research or B actually seeing evidence of the change.
And to be clear, anime breasts bouncing in swimsuits is actually evidence, but just one piece of evidence means nothing. I'd have to wait for more game releases and judge for myself.
It's just the last desperate pump to stop a bubble from popping is my guess. The demake has largely alienated everyone by now, and cheap coomer bait can drown out any intelligent discussion if used correctly.
Just look at how everyone pretended to like cyberpunnk when the e-girl shit got released
Ganker is too stupid to understand this, you're wasting your time.
They see anime breasts and they're gonna CONSOOM no matter how obvious a ploy it is, give them the illusion they're "winning" and they'll jump into without question.
>the anti-boob ideology has boobs again, here's why that's because they're winning
Good little sheep, make sure to buy 3 copies of this game, you want to win the culture war, right?
Give me what I want and I give money. This is a hostage negotiation for my cash and I am winning.
Good little paypig. Make sure you buy the DLC too.
You do realize games are gonna be 100$ a piece in a few years right? Keep that money coming.
If they have more great big breasts then maybe I will. Maybe you'll get what you want too, if you start paying for things you like.
You really are a dumbass.
You'll probably complain and act like you got betrayed when they abuse you again.
>Don't buy games when they do things you don't like. Also, don't buy games when they do things you do like. Also, don't listen to yourself, be an independent thinker and listen to me!
Frick you, I'll do what I like butthole.
>"What is the reason behind this if the shareholders have not changed?"
Anon... share get sold by millions every day if not hour, shareholder is a meme to bait moron into geting fricked by thing like ESG or the wallstreet AI
>"What is the reason behind this
>Twitter, a platform easy to post disguised misinformation that spreads like wildfire."
Twitter has community notes now for this exact purpose
>community notes now for this exact purpose
The same community notes that worked when one random guy said Xbox was moving all their exclusives to PS5 and that they're not making console anymore? The same ones that everyone blindly believed and started making crazy articles and videos about until Microsoft said "No. We literally have a next gen console in the works, stop listening to random morons on the internet. "
Those community notes?
Now if only they could make a decent game instead of demaking 7.
I usually hate these kind of twattergays and their ilk, but knowing esg may be on it's way out is wondeful news. Still not going to celebrate until their remnants are completely gone
>you lived to see esg breathe its last breath
Remember lads, we must not stop the pushback until this cancer is completely gone.
You're playing into their hands you moron
>Remember lads, we must not stop the pushback until this cancer is completely gone.
>Post Xenoblade
at least you posted XB2
Xenoblade 3 was everything Resetera wanted
I'll laugh when whatever Takahashi does next is the exactly the same as it's always been and you 2 secondary morons will cry about it being censored again
3 is nothing like the other XB games including X
He can still try to appeal to reseteragays and it will flop like 3
You never played X, secondary.
>You never played X, secondary.
100% that game
Prove it
>Prove it
why would I?
X was only censored in the West and wasn't full of ESG propaganda
3 was made after the complaints about 2 mainly from Resetera
So you never played it.
You probably don't even realize Xeno is a series outside of Blade.
>You probably don't even realize Xeno is a series outside of Blade.
Why would we bring Xenogears and saga into this conversation?
we're talking about Xenoblade and 3 is nothing like the rest and clearly affected by the ESG you can't deny that
the fact everyone here and in Japan hates it unlike 1&2 should be enough
>we
You just slipped up, Enel.
>You just slipped up, Enel.
nvm then didn't know I was arguing with a schizo
You can't hide your gay discord OPs Enel
Everyone knows about it at this point
Where are all of the Momo pantyshots in nu-Xeno?
They're either gonna rebrand it or this goes in the theory saying that they're temporarily retracting pozzed propaganda to make pro-white male and war propaganda to send everyone to the russia/ukraine meat grinder.
Kek they are already struggling in recruiting people
People dont give a frick anymore and internet exposed them too much
We won this battle bros
Lets rejoice
But dont relax and keep using the troony word and the Black person word wherever is needed to fight for freedom

>h-how dare you bring up another conspiracy rumor-mongering thread in a israeli conspiracy rumor-mongering thread, t-t-twitterbrain
>ESG is a conspiracy... because it just is ok!
lol I love how your only argument is to call everything a conspiracy. pro-tip; nobody denies ESG is a thing at this point in time. update your script.
>it's not happening... and it's a good thing that it is happening

Brave. They should be getting a phone call soon with offers of lowered interest rates.
Isn't their headquarters still in california?

for the longest time I read ESG as epic game store

Gaming is healing brehs
you know this will harm trans women & minorities right?
chuds won....
Just in time to save Tifa's breasts. Thank God.
no puff puff no dragon quest mr Takashi
You can't stop ESG and DEI.
Sure you can. You just don't buy products from companies that engage in it
>still using sweetbaby as ~~*DEI consultant*~~
Fool me once..
Larry Fink announced ESG is backing off. The cyberattacks are just the beginning. Blackrock is investing in Israel and WW3 right now, they have a bigger priority than Black person dick in gaming.
>tfw you kill an entire propaganda movement by simply not buying their slop
This shit is way too easy
people started spending on the alternatives
Now all japan needs to do is get rid of the bikini ban and bring back gore from the 80s and 90s.
Cool
Fricking Based we are finally getting Kingdom Hearts on steam.
Larry Fink said because the public found out about ESG they would immediately stop pushing it and come up with something else the public isnt aware of.
>Haha I am a genius, people will definitely not notice every company continuing to be actively anti-hetero even after I say ESG is gone!
https://time.com/6291317/larry-fink-esg-climate-action/
No, with israelites you still lose
Nice catchphrase, too bad it's wrong.
When the villain says "oooh, but I'll get you next time, you haven't seen the last of me!" it's because you won. Not forever, but you won.
It does feel like Resetera and trannies are losing their power.
what's ESG? Epic Store Game?
>Think this can come back as a simple "rebrand and come back later"
And then what? lose 10 trillion when no one buys their neoslop a second time? People didn't band up to defeat a big enemy with ESG, they simply didn't buy the shit they produced until they lost too much money to continue pumping it out, even fricking DC/Marvel is starting to cut down on this because no one fricking wants it.
The only way for something to stick is if people want it, no one fricking wants this, no matter how many times they try to rebrand.
The money is irrelevant, they are going to continue pushing it.
This is just about crafting a narrative, "ESG is gone now so the people pushing that we're actively fighting against boobs in video games are just dirty conspiracy theorists; there is no ESG in current year!"
>pay no attention to the man behind the curtain
>The money is irrelevant, they are going to continue pushing it.
No schizo conspiracy is gonna overcome the fact investors DO care about the money, once they stop seeing returns they pull out just like they are doing this time, the suits up top have no agenda except seeing the line go up, and the line will only go up if people are buying the shit they sell.
>ESG is gone now so the people pushing that we're actively fighting against boobs in video games are just dirty conspiracy theorists; there is no ESG in current year!
ESG already is only known if you are involved in the schizo side in the first place, the average normalgay doesn't know or care, they just buy shit that appeals to THEM, and once they stop wanting to buy product, it will collapse again.
Blackrock isn't a money printer nor a shadow government, it's a firm that MAKES MONEY, if it's not MAKING MONEY they won't keep it around even if one autist really wants to push Black folk and axe wounds
Sorry there not going back buying AAA after they tried to israelite us.
Too little, too late.
Imagine still giving a single rat's ass about squeenix.
ESG xisters... I always knew Japan were the real chuds. SUPPORT AMAZON! FRICK CAPITALISM!
>trying to make RedXIII horny
>when people start turning their backs on the multi trillion dollar investment firm and it's edicts
What if we kill investors in helldivers 2
The money is the only thing relevant to the investors who are going to put their money in those funds, that's how the grift was originally pushed.
No fear antiwhitebros! Capcom is still Proud Ally!

Hopefully Capcom follows suit, since apparently Japanese companies have been pulling out of it
capcom is sony 2.0
Its over and too late if you square doesn't get harder punishment they will try this again
haha. /v think ESG have been defeated. No. SE has been abandoned and Hope they soon realized this and move all their games into PC.
>dude dey jus wanna make more money bro
No they don't homosexual. If they wanted to make money they would churn out generic things 18-35 males and females (separate) like and listen to feedback from those demographics. They don't care because of their hubris partly caused by ESG. They are doing social engineering.
reply to the post you're aiming for instead of hiding as a general reply you sniveling coward
I didn't read this homosexual thread. I know from previous interactions what small L liberals think.
What is that new bikini scene from in ff7r? Is it from the demo or a leaked stream or something?
They are just rebranding ESG homie they are not dropping anything
But my le tifa waifu boobies xD
Take my 80$ plus DLC to fund the culture war squeenix
>Sega goes all in on ESG
>Next Yakuza is an incoherent mess about how evil nuclear energy is and how it gave kiryu cancer
I fricking hate Fink.
There is still hope. They are probably trying a new approach, let's hope hiring is still based about being non-white, non-straight, non-male.
https://www.square-enix-games.com/es_XL/careers/pillars/value
Sony don't care them anymore and They cannot sell good games on Switch. The only hope for them is PC.
ESG still exists lol
the israelites are just hiding that shit, they are still going to ruin your games
i won't buy them then, they are free to chuck trillions into the bin if they want
>Prints quadrillions
😀
i still won't buy them
>Creates a civil war when normalgay john can't buy bread anymore
>Gets beheaded in the conflict
nothing personal, israelite
They always hide abroad. Maybe the one time they got caught in modern times was in 1900's europe and then right after that WWI started coincidentally.
>prints one kajillion dollars to take the boobs out of games
>the boobs are back
>>the boobs are back
at a 3rd of the size they where on the ps1 and surrounded by blacks and homosexual's.
>surrounded by blacks and homosexual's
I thought you said it wasn't like how FF7 was on the PS1.
bro the entire world's eyes are on Israel and it isn't a pretty picture. They're a bit preoccupied right now.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_Directive
Israel would rather kill their own people than risk them either being the enemy or being used by the enemy as bargaining chips.
I'm starting to think Hitler wasn't the bad guy... there may have been a reason all of Germany voted him into power.
Ruin them with big boobs, I hope.
holy frick it's HAPPENING
Square Sucks though, when a good one does it too, then I'll cheer.
They could just shovel out generic genre shit the 18-35 masses would love, forever. There is no actual reason not to do this. But they won't, and you will never figure out why, liberal.
square enix needs to start hiring 3d artists that can make an ass
Akihiko Yoshida?
what part of 3d artist didn't you understand
Whatever 3d artists worked on Bravely Default then.
Also those booty proportions are off for a child.
Child?
Wait that's an adult?
I'm about to be sick. Never show that to me again.
They are free to waste their money then, people already have picked their side, sex sells
Four quadrant rule.
If they want the female market make games aimed at females instead of forcing them to play games aimed at males. Asian women are treated like queens when it comes to the media available to them.
>Give Tifa big breasts in a swimsuit for 5 minutes of a 50 hour game
>Fill the rest of it with pozzed BLM LGBT bullshit
>Ganker buys it because they're moronic
Brilliant strategy, I don't know why they didn't try this sooner.
>well, maybe they'll like globohomosexual if we just put a little of the boobs back in...
>yeah, It's not like that's our entire identity, right? we can cater a little to the sexual desires of the masses...
Big boobs are back in town.
>I am a robot BEEP BOOP
Does the robot have fat breasts too?
Okay, you're just a falseflagging Blackrock shill we get it
No, blackrock is now funding games with big breasts in them, you really need to keep up.
Yeah, let us real gamers support Blackrock
Blackrock? More like Bigbreasts.
It's coming to PC, the jiggle physics will be restored, the pozz will be removed and all for the price of zero.
>Schizo pol doomers
Just pick up a gun and shoot up blackrock offices if you think there's a cabal of evil israelites running the world, you have the coordinates and names don't you? what's stopping you? why don't you go and save the world?
Didn't realize the CIA was getting ESG money
>deflection
this is why you're shitposting in 4chins instead of doing it
esg is real you moron
there's a difference between
>ESG exists
and
>JEWS RUN EVERYTHING OWN UNLIMITED MONEY AND WE HAVE ALREADY LOST
basically the same thing
>just before Rebirth comes out
confirmed Sony is the cancer
We are about to kick out the BlackRock-ANTIFA trannies out of the industry, one game flop at a time!
Corporate suits in Japan
1- love earning goodboy points and doing high-status things (especially things that are high-status to foreigners)
2- are very prideful (both individually and nationally) and highly resent being bullied or disrespected.
ESG shit was adopted entirely due to #1, Japanese managers don't give a shit about woke values. They're as big a bunch of alcoholic oldschool sexists as you're likely to find in the developed world.
Then when Kotaku got blacklisted last year, I figured that it had broken through that actually both 1 and 2 were being violated - being conspicuously woke isn't actually all that high status, it's increasingly more associated with mentally ill activists than penthouse-suite philanthropy. And also those same mentally-ill activists were getting their way mostly through intimidation. Looks like I was right - and once you lose these guys, you will not be winning them back.
