It's definitely an issue in other industries too. The creme will rise to the top. They'll follow the money and start making good games again, eventually 🤞
Not only do game companies and journalists want to protect their image, but content creators do too. Nowadays, everyone has a brand or a following that they want to protect and keep squeaky clean. And if their channels are dedicated to one brand or game franchise, then they'll defend it no matter what so they can keep making money off of it or keep getting sponsorships. That's why you get these "stop spreading hate" comments from defenders, because they too financially benefit from these terrible games succeeding. Just like the journalists, they want to be opportunistic and be in the good graces of a corporation so they can get a leg up in their career. That's why toxic positivity exists. Because it's all a front. It's toxic because it's fake. There are no good guys here. Just a bunch of people hijacking the idea of justice and inclusion for their own personal gain. It's sickening.
I quit gaming in 2013. At first I traded in my xbox 360 and all my games for a PS3 and The Last of Us and Black Flag thinking that might help. Then I got GTA 5 on release and it just didn't hit like GTA 4. My love for the medium had drained to nothing. When the XBOX ONE was released I had no interest in buying it - I went and did something else. In the past year since the release of Starfield I have been investigating the video game industry. What I have discovered is that the video game industry has suffered the same treatment that has befallen the movie industry, music industry and other sectors of our culture - not just Western, but global This might seem far-fetched, it might seem like the plot to a video game or movie, but the video game industry has been infiltrated, toppled and destroyed by a cult that kills people - especially talented people who generate a lot of money for their companies - and replaces them with doppelgängers - doppelgängers that they have found, abducted, recruited and trained to assume the identity of the original talent that they are going to kill. The amount of actors and rock stars that this has happened to numbers in the high hundreds and counting and that's just actors and musicians. They will also replace friends, family, fans and complete nobodies you have never heard of. They have been doing this for over 100 years at least because I have discovered people who got replaced with an imposter in the 1910s - most notably Adolf Hitler in 1919. This cult remains unchallenged in our culture because they govern our culture - they are the only ones allowed to tell a story. I've a good mind to call this cult "The Authorities." About 20 years ago this cult turned its attention towards the video game industry. It began investing in talented video game programmers and designers and elevated them to rock star status and encouraged them in making the best video games of all time. Indeed it was when I heard the term "rock star game devs" about a year ago that I decided I had to investigate the industry. While those developers were at work making great games the cult were scouring the world for doppelgangers of these people. It's just like matching fingerprints to them. They now have the technology to scan billions of images in seconds and could find half a dozen guys who look just like you in two seconds. They abduct these lookalikes and wipe all previous memory of them from the face of the earth. Then the do God knows what to them to make them compliant and ready to take over. Then they make the switch and with that switch they will put out stories that change the public's perceptions of these people. Sexual assault allegations are just one of the many weapons in their arsenal. Note how many of these allegations never make it to court. This cult has operatives working in the studios, in the media and in the fan bases. These are not just people with a different opinion to you. They were born into it; their parents were involved and it put food on their table when they were growing up. They see a future with none of us in it and are working towards that goal. Some of the people who I think have been replaced are Mark Kern who is now achieving notoriety as grummz on social media. Jeremy Soule who hasn't made any music since his sexual assault allegations. Chris Avellone, Emil Pagliarulo and Casey Hudson. Bill Gates and his wife Melinda were both replaced in September 2013 so the cult has full spectrum dominance over the tech industry. Jeff Bezos was replaced at the time of his "helicopter crash" and Elon Musk was replaced in late 2008 after SpaceX burned through all his PayPal money. What you see when you look at the video game industry is all part of a road map. They can handle these flops because they're earning all the legacy money. The games are just vehicles to make people mentally ill so they won't stand in their way. They'll say, "Stay safe" to your face but they couldn't be putting you in more jeopardy.
good video c: yeah... playing it too safe (spending a lot of money on a successful clone like fortnite) is probably significantly more dangerous these days. also, this is an unpopular opinion, I think players would prefer to lean to a game with less/no/zero censorship and more taboo/dark than let's say more mario/fortnite generic clones lol. many may disagree or not care but we've kinda seen it all, and, i'm not asking for something like TLOU2 scenes, game was so boring and bad that I quit before I got to see them... as a firm believer TLOU [4+ yr leaked spoilers this line] was about Joel and killing him off killed that franchise for me.. yeah violence is cool and all but that game was super gay to me too lol, it's ironic and immersion breaking when the game comes out in political season (2020) with a lot of LGBT during a pandemic of clickers. i like gay ppl and would marry a trans if they weren't acting harder to get than a woman I prefer, but we don't want gay stuff in our game, plus, that's a sexuality, and I thought they were censoring sexuality to begin with? like stellar blade? Oh... that's "straight male gaze" right, can't have none of that during a crisis of no births being made, the left is very happy with the current depopulation I imagine, and while the far right politics has their own problems, I think both are prone to toxic positivity tbh, but the game devs encouraging it are all lefties as far as we can tell. uncensorship needs to be normalized (so much so that uncensorship is not a word apparently xd) I know it's difficult for all countries to have it uncensored, like japans GTA SA port was horrible, but here comes the weirdest part, they're censoring to appease americans???? That's the most backwards thinking I ever thought of. I'm not much of a movie watcher but I wonder if those started getting censored more often lol.. don't know/care but this positive toxicity in the workplace makes me more mad than the games themselves I won't buy regardless. Sounds worse than working at an amazon warehouse and i really mean that. all that time/money/labor for like a "two week testing, let's see how they react" lol.. I do think 2025++ is gonna be different and good, just gotta patiently blow all the hot air out and try new things until then.
