    I love how Kim Belair and SBI have literally been caught on Twitter, in person at speaking events, and even on their own website saying EXACTLY what their malicious plans for the gaming industry are. But all of a sudden now that the proverbial kitchen light has been flipped on, all the SBI roaches are scattering to hide while screeching that it's all lies and they're being "harassed."
    It would be hilarious if it wasn't all so depressing.

    I think you forgot one more category of people who are ruining gaming: The consumers. Or rather consOOmers, who keep consuming the product no matter what. As you say at the end, most of these problems afflicting the industry can VERY EASILY be solved by simply not giving our money to the corpos. However, these specific types of consumers are not capable of doing that. They WILL keep giving the corpos their money, they WILL keep buying every annual sports game that comes out, they WILL keep buying microtransactions, and if you try to tell them to stop, they will simply say "Well, what, am I supposed to just NOT buy the game and be sad forever?"

      I would also argue that software pirates fall under this category as well. Sure, they don't pay for the content they steal, but they're still consuming it regardless, giving it attention in the process. If your goal as a corporation is to spread DEI and other Leftist ideologies, then it wouldn't matter to you if you lost sales from piracy (Blackrock & Vanguard will pay for the rest), just that your "message" is spread far and wide. Today's pirate could become tomorrow's useful idiot.
      The only way that you could tell these corpos that what they're doing will ruin them is to not only buy their slop, but to _not pirate them_ as well. It's a terrific insult. "Your game is so bad it's not even worth pirating." Even Louis Rossman himself concludes his video on piracy with a similar statement.
      If a pirate is reading this: *No, you're not a rebel for pirating woke slop. No, you have no right to complain about shit you didn't pay for. If anything, you're part of the problem.*

The only ones who would spread leftist ideology are the ones who were already on-board with the whole thing, because it's not just something people get infected with like a memetic hazard of some sort. It's something deliberately taught through universities and employment training courses. Likewise, people opposed to radical leftism can use it to explain how the ideologies work and how to challenge them.

      If _Spore,_ the most pirated game in history, were to be released in this day and age, complete with DEI, and still maintain that dubious distinction, it would tell developers that it was a success in terms of delivering its DEI messaging. Thus, it would influence them to create _more_ DEI slop, sales be damned (because again, certain organizations are covering for it).

    Thing is: That works both ways.
    "Why do you care that we race-swapped a character?"
    Just respond with: "Why did you care to race-swap the character in the first place?"
    It's a misdirect question. It's projection. They're trying to confuse you and blame you. Why *not even answering the initial question*.

    It's a majority functional role. I can't make a shader that caters to a focus group or behaves passive aggressively.

    Tbf, your “maybe I shouldn’t cut Alan Wake out of more than 50% […] of the Alan Wake sequel” is giving me cold-sweat flashbacks to Metal Gear Solid 2. So even though it’s been done before, it’s never *not* been controversial. The challenge most writers face is in making these types of story decisions narratively meaningful and satisfying. At the same time, even though Kojima’s surprise decision to swap out his lead worked not only as a plot device but was important on a number of different (meta) narrative levels, there’s still a part of me who wishes to have played through the whole campaign as Snake. So even though I don’t resent the decision, it’s still had a lot of work to do to earn my respect-something that a lot today’s stories aren’t getting anywhere close to achieving. Almost like these decisions are being made simply to spite the player and invalidate what they might want to play.

Does Yuri Lowenthal feel ashamed of voicing Peter the way he did in the sequel game? Was Tara Strong disgusted of how Harley said the things and executing Batman in that Suicide Squad mess? If they did, they would voice their feelings on those matters without fear like certain old actors. By now, they haven't, which speaks a lot on where they stand.

    20:54 this! This right here was the Gut Punch for me!
    Cause it honestly Sucks how Two of my Favorite Franchise titles are basically Halfway-Dead, or on Life support! 😢
    CAPCOM’s “Vampire/Darkstalkers” to me is a franchise that feels just like a Zombie Shuffling about. A Landmark Franchise that Not Only Evolved the 2D-Fighting Game experience, but did it with a Very Expressive, Dark, yet comically endearing Cast of Characters that are All Based On Monsters was a Fantastic Idea brought to Life.
    Too Bad the Series Only Saw 3 games (Two of Which are Canon to the Series itself), plenty of Remastered/Re-released Games! BUT NO OFFICIAL Sequel has Ever Been Seen!
    We’ve had Manga, Comics, Crossovers, MERCHANDISING UP THE ASS, With Morrigan’s Fine Ass Being Everywhere else Besides her Intended Franchise!
    I Mean! I Have so Many Ideas I can Sell to Capcom on how to Bring this Fighting Game Franchise Back! But Capcom isn’t Ran by people anymore, it’s ran by Corporate SNOBS! Ad Definitely in Japan, these Asshole CEOs have no Real desire to Bring this Series back from the Hellish drought they put it in!
    At Least Games like SoulCalibur got a Seventh entry is a damn Miracle!
    Darkstalker didn’t even GET THAT! It Languished in Limbo Since 1998! And it Kills Me Every DAY that this Series Died so Early! And It Hurts that The Majority Of Fan-favorites are Reduced TO DLC in “Street Fighter”!

    Despite all of Nintendo's flaws, none of them are a hatred of the customers. They might be greedy and a bit too reliant on being independent, but I genuinely believe that they've done more good than harm to games. Look at what they've done with Bayonetta after being abandoned by Sega. Or what they did with Monolithsoft, which created Xenoblade Chronicles and managed to turn the franchise into a potential console seller, not to mention all help they gave with the development of Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. They know damn well that they don't bite the hands that feed them.
