We've seen it happen time and again: A subset of players and content creators catch wind of some detail they don't...

So... I'm non buynary

Sooooo....I'm non buynary

The other side doesn't fucking exist. Every single woke game that has ever sold well did so because the chud majority was willing to overlook things.

Because at the end of the day the bullshit about all advertising being good is just that, bullshit. Not to mention you have hordes of faggots that will do everything they can to do damage control and stop people from calling out the slop. Do you expect anyone to believe that those are organic genuine posters that all act, talk, and argue the same way and have the kind of coordination to be in every fucking thread just to say how this dogshit that by their own admission “no one cares about”?

Twitch, youtube, and Twitter definitely pay ecelebs who make anti-woke slop.

Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if conservative groups also pay ecelebs to make that garbage. They've done this shit before with Satanic DND and the War against Christmas.

and otherwise pretend like nothing ever happened when a targeted game reviews and sells well,

lmao to think a bunch of people who voraciously live for (you)s and internet cool points will start making threads admitting defeat when they are wrong

no it is to be the organic response that is the paid shilling!

every conservative accusation is always a confession. Zero exceptions

suddenly

Don't make games that people want to see fail then.

'very determined

hey guys, I think it's clear that this car is going to crash based on how it's driving

I'm just a guy on the side of the road and not in control of the car and can't stop it from crashing, nor can I make it crash

but if it does crash, it's going to be entertaining, and I'm going to laugh at it

car crashes

why would the chuds do this???

Also, AC Shadows neither sold nor reviewed well, as evidenced by them never going beyond 3m 'players' and the CEO explicitly refusing to answer 'what were the sales figures' questions from investors on the recent quarterly sales call.

but seething about the current modern slop for months at a time could never be the result of a paid campaign

Who would pay for this? How would they profit?

Why is it so hard to understand that people who don't like your product will not buy it?
Why do you care so much if you are so set in not appealing to them? Just don't feed the troll goddamit, that used to be rule number 1

Anon Babble has a magical power of making games sell like dogshit with their small hats, hands rubbing habits and kirby item bounce soundtrack

"suddenly"

And for no reason at all...

bet

okay, were are my winnings then?

These delusional retards thinks that there's some almighty consensus that people just reach about a product before it releases.

There is, it's called pattern-recognition.

They always shit on us while needing our money and gormless idiot gamers always gave it to them. I'm glad the bubble is finally popping though.

I don't think you like that at all. You're a liar.

suddenly

why do they continue to pretend like they haven't been purposely subverting games for over a decade.

why are they happy when our agenda pushing DEI slop fails and sets back our efforts to control and warp the video game industry?!?!

it's a mystery for the ages

Because they're liars that live in a world of optics management.

Leftists always project. They even project their own projecting as a form of cope and self defense.

suddenly

AND THEN ONE DAY FOR NO REASON IN PARTICULAR...

All outrage is marketing. All of it. Real people don't care that much about a video game.

I am dead serious. You can look up the Disney leak. Both woke and antiwoke posters are paid shills.

I need Bioware, Ubisoft, and Bethesda to DIE

It's called controlled opposition. In the end Old Men keep ruling the world and corporations have more rights than any human.

This but a much bigger list

They don't care that these games failed. They care that there was backlash to the content.
These are the same people that were telling you that dragons crown was a lolicon fantasy game, that character designs are immature and offensive and that anyone complaining about wholesale removal of a game mechanic is a pervert.
They're only mad because people are daring to use their own tactics against the things they want to push.

some detail

Hmm maybe stop including said detail.
This dishonest rethoric is pretty pathetic, everybody knows what it is.

and as we know, these evil anti-fans use their mind powers to have devs make shitty games by accident

This is very silly considering no one would bet on those games' success.

they see us shitting into their food while we cook it and suddenly they're saying they won't eat it!

No it isn't, neither is "all press is good press". These things haven't been true since the juden lost their total control of the narrative and censorship years ago. Today people have options, and bad press and outrage are just that. they're bad, and they fuck your sales. You can't just attack the market demographic of the franchise you co-opted, scare them away from the brand by turning it into DEI shitgarbage made for a non-existent "modern audience", then claim it's their fault when you flop. They'll call you a faggot and laugh at your failure, and pretending like you still control the narrative and can just "influence" opinion away from your subversion and failure is just digging your own hole deeper.

but disney

is flailing because of wokeshit and it makes zero sense that they would pay people to attack their own brand.

Maybe they want your games to fail because you're using them as political propaganda instead of doing a quality product?
Is that really crazy? Take a step back from the culture war bullshit, and realize that being against using GAMES as political brainwashing for politics most people don't agree with would be a bad thing for any reasonable person.
The only people who agree with this shit is people who want to push their shit on everyone, and no, it's not about "accepting trans people teehee :3", it's about "punch nazis," "kill all bigots" and shit like that, first they want to kill nazis and then they want to label you a nazi so they can kill you, this shitty ideology has never been about love, it literally feeds on hate.

I wonder who could be behind this post

Who tell us

Me. I posted it. Thanks for the (You). Did you have anything of substance you'd like to add?

You tasteless faggots need to kill yourselfs and stop shitting up my hobby with predatory anti-fun soapboxing bullshit like the bacterial colonies you are.

From the bottom of my heart:
Fuck you.

Yeah this, what they wanted was to make every single piece of media woke propaganda so you wouldn't have any other choice, but indies, Japan, and now Korea and China are in the game so people don't have to consume woke shit if they don't want to.
Literally all games with a hate campaign because of being woke have bombed spectacularly, they can only milk BG3 for so much for their narrative after so many gigantic AAA games crushing and burning.

it's not because they're woke!

Completely false considering AC always sells 10s of millions and the newest one couldn't even reach 3.

He won't answer, because he can't. Campaigns and astroturfing are meant to elicit positive behaviour: buy this, protest that, strike when. A campaign of "do nothing", especially when it's ambiguously targetted and general, doesn't serve anyone.

If games were fun we'd be playing them instead.

David Gaider

Ah, of course. Must be nice if your trash bluesky hot takes spawn entire articles on a weekly basis at this point.

I would rather it be destroyed and gone. Than being defilee for eternity.

AC always sells 10s of millions and the newest one couldn't even reach 3.

uh... that's um... because uh... people just didn't want a japanese samurai assassins creed... and uh... also racism. fucking racist nips and whities are to blame.

They need it to be a paid campaign, otherwise they would be admitting that chuds have literally all the power. The subtext from what they're saying is: stop hating on games, you're only giving them more sales!!!

if you're a real gamer why would you want games to fail!!!!

First of all the word gamer is for cringe redditors and women. And second, because you turned video games into leftist propaganda so normal people can't play them anymore without being annoyed.
You can either feed me propaganda or take my money, not both.

not both.

unfortunately the trillion dollar asset managers have more than enough money to make up for consumers no longer funding the propaganda.

These people will make Angerboda a black African woman in God of War and claim to be some unmotivated stochastic event, insulting the intelligence of anyone that can as much as think for 2 uninterrupted seconds about that claim. OR they will admit that it's about pushing their world view in every piece of media, even when it means unbelievable and jarring changes to mythology, history, folklore, etc, and simply take a perceived moral high ground and smile smugly about misrepresenting the culture they appropriated for pushing said views.

Either way, they're damn right I am an anti-fan. They don't treat the world around them with respect, they are conceited and only know respect as a form of compliance to their ideological orthodoxy. I have exactly zero reasons to not cheer at their failure to make profit and losing their job. Ironically, they are the most narrow-minded people I have witnessed, and I'd genuinely have better chances of finding an understanding and inherent respect for other cultures in the average anti-woke neo-reactionary chudster. At least he'll just look me in the eyes and say "yes, of course the female lead in a new Prince of Persia game is Persian, what the fuck else would she be?".

Everyone is tired of their bullshit, their bullshit means declining sales, they're bullshit is laughed at online, the world is so over them. It took too long, but now is exactly when to breathe in the smell of them shitting their pants and drinking up their tears.

how bout game devs fuck off with their predatory anit-fun "games" and make fun games

purpsefully upset the ultra powerful chuds

gets triggerd when this works out badly for you

what a crybully

Yeah woke shit is going the same way hippies did. Let's enjoy the next 30 years without insanity until it comes back again in a new package.

the beneficent chudbase even goes out of its way to tell them well in advance of launch what "details" they need to remove

they refuse to remove them and complain

+1

Yeah because journalists have never done the same fucking thing. Always the consumers fault.

People pissed that they took the Dragon Age name and made a watered down bastardization of it

Must be h4t3rz

Zero introspective skills.

suddenly

Why are they still pretending as if these negative sentiments are a very recent and completely unfounded development?

Let's enjoy the next 30 years without insanity

If only. At least hippies didn't completely destroy the future of their own nations with mass immigration and demographic replacement. The only place that leads is to societal upheaval. The next 30 years are not going to be comfy.

anti-fans

antifans

antifa

sells well, like Assassin's Creed Shadows

Sat on the shoulders of talented developers that created the original game

Inject propaganda into new product

Narcissistic drive to erase/pervert what came before so that the product becomes "theirs"

Fans of what came before don't like what product has become

Blame fans

Cycle repeats with next product

Many such cases...

See woke DEI trash

Game releases. Dont buy it

Its woke DEI trash, "I'm non-binary" is celebrated as one of the most iconic lines in the game, the gameplay is trash, it shits on the universe the previous games built and the characters the previous games introduced, its boring all the way to the end

"I knew this game is trash"

Get the fuck out of gaming if you arent going to make video games

So.......... I'm non-buynary

They did actually, the octogenarians that have clutched to power the last few decades were the hippies.

Probably has propaganda

20 threads of Anon Babble about some gay shit in the new game that just came out

Game doesn't sell well

Pubs/Devs blame people who didn't buy their game, call them names

Pubs/Devs actually hoped to scam people out of their money and mad that it didn't work

There were never any chuds to begin with.

>Pubs/Devs blame people who didn't buy their game, call them names

Shouldn't they have been more upset with modern audiences for not supporting them?

also goes both ways, see the people spite buying hogwarts legacy from that entire boycott coming from troons

sells well, like Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Regardless of what side you fall on (ideally none because choosing "sides" is fucking retarded), Veilgard might be the worst written AAA game ever made. Sure, Gaider, there are people who want your game to fail, but let's not pretend you did a good job with this one. At all.

don't feed the trolls

That adage has been long, long forgotten by the vast majority of people

Maybe the modern audience was the devs all along.

This. There is no imaginary counter movement. Game was just shit and people saw through the paid campaign to convince them otherwise.

Describes y'all to a T

That itself is a movement because it's never happened before. They are fully justified treating their customers as indiscriminate shiteaters because that's how they've always been.

I always wonder just how stupid someone like you has to be to truly believe that bad publicity has no effect on sales. Bad press and youtubers and streamers shitting on your product has destroyed countless of woke products in the past years.

Flops seems to be the only way they learn and even that's not guaranteed.

A campaign of "do nothing", especially when it's ambiguously targetted and general, doesn't serve anyone.

No wonder there was so much backlash against "doing nothing." It doesn’t even generate them any attention.

In his defense, he was brought back to the project at a very late stage and he feels strongly about the franchise because he started it all. He should have played it smart, considered EA's offer to come back, got some independent internal opinions on the state of the game, and declined. No way was a writer going to save that heap given 16 months or whatever. But, it's not like he can come out and say now: "DAV was fucked before I came back and there wasn't anything I could do about it".

It says more about the developer who is gathering more anti-fans than fans than it does about the anti-fans themselves, who might all be fans if the developer acted differently.

axxxually it was all the naz.. the anti-fans fault.

Good grief.

Fair point.

OMG!
Why can you all chuds see that people actually want and like woke inclusive stuff in games and movies but and you are just really good at convincing people not to play or watch woke inclusive media even thou i still belie no one cares what you have to say.

There is no learning process, they know they are pushing unpopular ideas and that we know they are doing it, no message received or moment of realization will make them stop, only overwhelming financial failure until there's no way to make a living in the industry. Our job will be done when average publisher fires studio heads on the spot for letting a screenshot with type A/B get out.

i have been determined since cisquisition
hell, even since mass effect 3

These people will make Angerboda a black African woman in God of War and claim to be some unmotivated stochastic event

A great opener to a pretty solid post. Yes, we just "accidentally" race swapped characters and for some reason this "accident" only happens in one direction.

People said Veilguard was going to be shit from the moment we saw that leaked combat webm.

make shit game

blame customers for calling it shit

repeat until the banks finally get sick of losing money on you

it will all end like pic related

The grifters who were screaming woke were never going to buy the game to begin with. The problem was that Bioware shitted all over the diehard fans by releasing a game that looked like shit.
Also, Gaider is a fucking hypocrite because no one has been hating on Bioware harder than he has.

That's the risk you take when making woke slop. Other games that are underwhelming or outright bad don't have people openly rooting for their failure. It's just that general audiences have started to REALLY despise woke ideology so at the first sign of weakness, they will go after your game. The only counter to that is to make a game that is exceptionally good in terms of mechanics and gameplay, despite the wokeness, which happens like once every 10 years.

See woke DEI trash

The Dragon Age series has always been woke DEI trash.

David Gaider

is that like David Hayter if he was a speedrunner

Any die-hard Dragon Age fan would have abandoned the series after Origins if they really only cared about genuine CRPG gameplay. Veilguard isn't any more or less dumbed down than DA2 and Inquisition. In fact I'd say Veilguard's gameplay actually looks better than that of DA2 and Inquisition. The main difference between Veilguard and the rest of the Dragon Age franchise past Origins is the wokeness and the horrendously bad writing, but bad writing and wokeness go hand in hand.

The grifters who were screaming woke were never going to buy the game to begin with

Well yeah, that's kinda the problem

proudly ruin people’s livelihoods through cancel culture because they had the audacity of having different opinions than you

cry when people route for you to fail because of your own self-righteous grandstanding

Why are they acting like anyone can actually do anything to make a game fail?
If I could, I would, but it's not possible. So I just call it gay and ignore it.

True, but wokeness is a spectrum. DA Origins had a perfectly tolerable amount of wokeness, there was some LGBT representation, but it was still a proper RPG and you could tell any character to shut up about their sexual preferences and they never bring it up again. In Veilguard the wokeshit is not only unavoidable, it's a main part of the story. You literally cannot beat the game without confirming Traash's gender identity.

Same as anti-racism or anti-woke
they're too lazy to use the real words, or simply, "hater"

If it's not a victory and it doesn't matter why are they crying about it?

Holy shit what kind of a faggot calls himself a fan of a game

pls no culture war any more
i just want dragon age origins 2

I just think games injecting cancerous identity politics and terrible writing into their games like veilguard deserve failure and i feel like its justice when said games do.

Shut the fuck up you soulless zoomie troon

Sometimes they'll claim victory with sales flops like Concord or Dragon Age: The Veilguard

otherwise pretend like nothing ever happened when a targeted game reviews and sells well, like Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Now don't sell yourself short here David, Veilguard also reviewed well AND it had more concurrent players on Steam than Shadows. If Veilguard was a confirmed flop, then Shadows was an even bigger flop.

Thank god that information came out to light, for a second there i really thought suits pushed making crap games so that shareholders could sell high and buy low... but no, it were the anti fans all along.

That probably means my other theories about embezzling budgets, insurance fraud and felony tax evasion are wrong as well.

I´ve been blind! why didn´t you tell me about the anti fans Anon Babble?! i needed to know this!

I NEED to see your YIIK T-shirt collection.

Why do you people pretend that Origins wasn't woke? That faggot Andypants was right, you really will bend over backwards to pretend a game isn't woke as long as you like it

tolerable amount of wokeness

There is no such thing.

real humans have likes and dislikes

Say it ain't so.

Oh, yes, Assassin's Creed Shadows sold so well that they couldn't reveal the total number of copies sold during their earnings report.

Correct
When you see an obviously bad product that is proven to have 0 genuine interested as shown by its sales number and playercount you can usually assume any positivity before its release was shilling

@GROK what are the player counts for Ass creed shadows?

disney leak

I don't get it

You're the problem, you let them get this far making shit woke games because they weren't THAT shitty and woke. You get more of what you open your wallet for.

David Gaydar is some extremely mid writer. Back when I still cared I've read his Dragon Age novels and they are just bland all around. Why people still give him the time of the day is beyond me.

That's true. BioWare burned me with Drag Age 2, and I did do my best to post the Cringe from Veilguard and spread it around.

If you want to prevent that from happening, maybe just make a good game that appeals to your target audience that can't be made fun of instead of a Cringe Compilation in video game form? Just a thought.

The shitty pajeet shill farms don't care what is said in a thread. They're just paid to make noise on social media about a game. Get it together.

Just don't do this.

If they got paid to say that Ass Creed Shadows was dogshit, then they're cleverer people than I. I did it for free.

Was the nonbinary person supposed to come off as a complete cunt?

someone who keeps up with a game to see it fail
it certainly is a thing, but it certainly isn't a thing that happens to good games

I'm playing this and I'm actually enjoying it. It's not as gay as BG3, but It's by far the cringiest game I've ever played. Super preachy. BUT combat is fun, level design is actually fantastic, and the story is easy to follow. I enjoy trying different builds with different characters.
That's where the game loses me, the characters. Harding is so fucking Mary Sue boring I genuinely hate her. My constant thought is "why is this NPC following me?" Same with Bellara. Dravin or whatever is probably the best, and yes Taash too, except I just wish she wasn't preachy about being trans. Literally the first thing you hear her say is "you can't tell me who I am!" Like ok bro, you just shoved your tomahawk into some guy's neck while shouting that.
Otherwise, I'm enjoying it and don't think it deserves the hate it gets. 7/10 game.

It was supposed to be “awkward” and taash is supposed to be overly outspoken, the problem is the subject matter and their way of interacting just completely breaks immersion and puts you in modern America

You can tell this was something that happened to the writer and it sat with them for years in the back of their mind, they probably thought to themselves how badly they wanted to get it out in the world to show everyone how they felt. Then they finally did, and it's a fat steaming pile of dogshit.

It's fun. It's even more fun when devs are aware and react to it. The devs might keep reacting because they think it's a fun way to interface with customers too.

anti-fans

you mean tortanic fags

mfw

They get paid by the social media mention, which Anon Babble is counted toward.

Ah, so piss-poor writing that can't get what the author wants across, got it.
Still a complete cunt for no reason.

As someone who only played DA:Origins I assume these are supposed to be Qunari.
What the fuck happened to their civilisation or ethos or any of that shit

Adding a diegetic term for tranny only to reject it for the portland-coded one is wild. Why even write fantasy at that point?

what the fuck is this supposed to be?

how do you do fellow gayyymers

Paid by who???

As usual, juggling-type words to avoid saying "straight white male".

"Coming out as queer to my parents": DnD comfort character edition.

Seriously that was the most retarded thing I've seen since that weird ass strip club webm.
You know the one.

Are we pretending people don't anticipate new releases of any film, comic or game failing? What a retarded position to take.

I sympathize with devs getting unreasonable and excessive hate over very stupid bullshit. But for somebody to say that the fans turned on Dragon Age and Bioware "Suddenly" is fucking rich. People have been buying their shit praying that it would finally be good again for a over a decade and being burned. Yeah maybe bioware thought it was alright on their end because the people were still buying it but come the fuck on.

Someone who is upset when you fill their beloved IP with trannies and minorities

Are we really going to pretend they didn't go out of their way to alienate a portion of the audience with stupid decision making?

not fooling anyone, troonie.

sounds based

Gaider also recently cried about EA forcing the old school RPG guys out of the room when after acquiring Bioware.
Faggot needs to pick a side and quit fenceshitting.

The "other side" is a handful of terminally online Bluesky trannies, normal people are sick of your shit.

There is no "antiwoke", there's normal people sick of insane control freaks trying to force shit down their throats.

You can look up the Disney leak. Both woke and antiwoke posters are paid shills.

I don't recall seeing anything about counter-shills in the Disney leaks. What is their purpose?

and then suddenly one day, for no reason at all...

The entire industry needs to burn as far as I'm concerned.

It's even funnier because the mom actually tries to understand her by bringing their own culture into it but Traash just has a fit instead, making her come off as way shittier and obnoxious than they intended
non-binary is stupid, you can't just tell someone you're not a man or a woman and expect them to just get it

why do you dare bash Assassin's Creed Shadows, chud?

Because things i don't like simply shouldn't exist.

based
some people just want to watch the game industry burn

When you see nothing but objective low-effort box checking trash and all the pseudo-progressive self-validators everywhere, who are never buying it themselves in the end, pretend it's the best thing since sliced bread, it's pretty hard to take anyone seriously who says anything positive. In fact labelling someone as a "shill" is giving the benefit of the doubt, because if they aren't, then that means they are retarded, have genuine shit taste or extremely low standards. In any way, when you come off a decade+ off these games, you usually don't want to hear people go

but that one good part though

like if these games were once in a while, okay, argue about the upsides. But if it's 90% over and over again, you just want that shit to be finally gone and over, completely, not just a little.

have an eleventh hour and fifty nine minute reveal of a mystery faction that is was behind everything all along

The world of warcraft approach

like Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Yes, that game that has millions of players and no sales figures

Gamers this

Gamers that

What happened to "Gamers are dead" and "we must kill gamers" back in the 2010s? Why are these websites suddenly comfortable being "buddy-buddy" with gamers after we spent almost a decade of these websites trying to verbally *kill us?*

I agree. A bunch of 5/10 games are being heralded as the worst crap ever by one obnoxious vocal minority, and shilled as "great games" by another... it's hard to find just regular takes on video games anymore, in the sea of people who only know about these games through discord servers, streamers, and places like here, and never fucking play them.

That all having been said, Bioware's last great RPG was Mass Effect 1, and literally everything after that has had the RPG spirit sucked right out of it by a need to appeal to casual console players (a market that is itself now drying up, only to give way to one that's somehow even worse... the mobile gamer market).

When these people make games it's always the same, checking all the boxes has the highest priority, but beyond that they don't have a clue on what to do, so everything is just low-quality random bullshit mixed with the 3 reddit popculture things that are popular in their bubble. Like if you want to know where the mystery faction that pulled the strings all along came from and solas ending up the way he did, look no further than Final Fantasy 14.

they never did that, take your meds

There *has* been discourse over the quality of these games... Just not from the journalists. An excellent example is Avowed, where the majority of the conversation was on how the game is bland, low-quality slop that regressed on the technological achievements of contemporary titles.

What happened to "Gamers are dead" and "we must kill gamers" back in the 2010s? Why are these websites suddenly comfortable being "buddy-buddy" with gamers after we spent almost a decade of these websites trying to verbally *kill us?*

It's even funnier than that the "gamer identity" was built over a decade of good will and marketing and they succeeded in killing it and it's only now when they want to fall back on it that they will regret killing it off to make room for the "wider audience"

Oh no, people don't like the garbage you're making and they talk about it! How could this be?!

they never did that

Any amount of evidence I post to the contrary will be swept aside, so I'm just going to say,

Fuck you, I'm not buying your game. You hate me.

does not lose sales, it creates protest sales

Yeah that sure worked for failhard, and concord and starwars outlaws and AC Blackfag.

This was just Patrick Weekes trying to out fag Gayder who put in his own coming out quest into cisquisition.

suddenly

Three shitty sequels, two delays, renaming, over 100 original staff leaving, all over 13 years is suddenly?

Because at most you just have gay shit, no trannies, no cosmopolitan bullshit where you have blacks, Asians, and spic all in one setting. Sten alone would be a massive red flag today. You faggots always try so hard to say wokeshit has always been prevalent.

hire fags and lame women

make shit faggy game

"why do you want us to fail"

These fags always larp as Anon Babble posters and then the second someone sends them ironic greentext or crying wojak they run to journalists and ecelebs.

suddenly

Though you besmirk our presence we are, we were, we will not be consumed by your products, we will destroy those that use an illusion to rob families. False promises are lies. Lies are against God’s law.

These people successfully created entire online spaces with the sole purpose to shit on and antagonize the core audience of the most profitable entertainment medium in the world for being that core audience. And then they ask for sunshine? Ridiculous.

Centrists like you are the real controlled opposition. What you call a tiwoke is just "normal people who don't want to be controlled"
You drank the nihilist Kool aid. You're not smart, you're just spiritually weak

shadows is a success actually

Ubisoft stocks still in free fall

still no sale numbers

Leftoids will never fail to amaze me.

but seething about the current modern slop for months at a time could never be the result of a paid campaign

Who would pay for this? How would they profit?

They're doing it for the lulz, profit isn't their main goal
For a couple thousand dollars a month anyone can shit up a board

Yeah I'm glad when games fail. I'm an optimistic fool and I believe that motherfuckers in charge will learn from the failures and maybe we get good games again from more than a handful of devs. If not, well, the asshats who contribute to making the games shit don't like me so I'm okay taking pleasure in their failure.

still trying to pretend AC Shadows sold well

I don't know why it's so impossible for them to admit defeat on this game. I've never seen such an insane shilling campaign

Because it's not just a game to them, they are trying to make it a symbol. They realize they can't endlessly rely on BG3 to pretend they are winning so they'll grasp at every straw they can even if they have to delude themselves and ignore reality.

Aside from the fact that characters are "player sexual" there's very little stuff for Leftoids to grab a hold of with BG3 anyway.
Only one story has any gay content, it's not the main piunt of the story, and you can kill both of them involved.

and otherwise pretend like nothing ever happened when a targeted game reviews and sells well, like Assassin's Creed Shadows.

Do they know? Should we tell them?

but seething about the current modern slop for months

Maybe, just maybe, these companies are producing the worst possible media over and over again for the last decade or two to the point people want to kill everyone involved.

Maybe the hate is real and justified.

I love it when leftist game devs suffer, so the more studio closures and mass layoffs, the better.

Make the game good then.

Remember when journalists released a coordinated attack on their own audience calling us all "manchildren" and "pissbabies" and leigh alexander's headline literally said "gamers don't have to be our audience anymore, gamers are OVER"
