    it doesnt garner as many viewers on twitch as high octane battle royales where every other playable character has a new unique gender, their own set of pronouns, and a 1 dimensional backstory that either falls into the category of orphan, social reject, or some cross over between the two.

    Unless a streamer can scream into the mic every 4.2 seconds at something that happens on the screen, its not gonna get any attention and wont generate any revenue.

        thats your take-away from that? that pronouns was the be all and end all of my gripe?
        i dont give a shit about the pronoun shit. Its fricking what, 6 letters all up? dont care, imagine dedicating your life to fighting a word.
        my gripe is with the fact that devs and publishers only want to put out games that can generate tons of reactionary content on twitch, youtube, etc. I get why though: why spend money on an advertising budget, when you can pay a streamer a pittance to soiface into a webcam and scream into a microphone every 4 seconds? Zoomers with the attention span of a hyperactive goldfish will gobble that shit up, then go out and buy the game regardless of how shit it actually is. If that dont work? Go the Overwatch route: get twitch to do drops for people watching streams of your game for a few hours, streamers will stream the content for free because viewers are viewing the content just for the drops, inflating the streamer's views.

        Nobody will watch a game with no reactionary content. When was the last time you saw someone play something like Intruder on twitch or youtube. What about the splinter cell games? lmao nobody plays any of the MGS games in true stealth on camera anymore.

    A stealth genre game can't exist without a story. The most popular pure stealth series of all time, splinter cell, has a story based on how a white dude engaging in clandestine activities to further the agenda of the US government is a good person. Neither of these thoughts are allowed anymore. Trying to create a new game in this series with a strong black woman lead would not be popular with fans. Game "devs" these days, aka the forty women directing the 5 dudes who know how to make a game, are uninterested in anything that a woman would not want to play or something they can brag about pushing a moronic social agenda. Stealth has a hard time being either of these things.

      >has a story based on how a white dude engaging in clandestine activities to further the agenda of the US government is a good person.
      splintercell wasn't really that jingoistic, pandora tomorrow was full of cynicism about the american security state and made sam into a grim, borderline amoral character. 1 and 3 on the other hand basically place third echelon as the doveish good boys who have to corral the hawkish elements of the government to prevent them starting a false war against a communist country, china and NK. You've got a point with the likelyhood of hamhanded diversity but the political content otherwise is not particularly controversial at all.

    you're operating under a fallacy, the fallacy that if a game idea exists and once had games it should naturally just continue getting releases. the stealth genre was a handful of franchises not really a genre. when those franchises ran their course the genre died.

    When my extended family gets together, we usually sit outside and watch a movie or show while people are winding down for the night. But it's impossible to get them to decide on anything, so I threw on Fesh Pince for a room of 60-something boomers. It was a mass filtration event, but it got a few laughs. But they refused to believe me when I said that anyone worth their salt could and would quote it from memory online.
