I have a question, anons!

Never forget: Before GamerGate a lot of us were politically left leaning. The internet was a pretty lefty friendly place before identity politics and journalistic corruption opened our eyes.

The tech industry at large is very keen on the liberal dream of moving to California and hanging out with a community of quirky hipsters and homos, and have a wacky office where everyone does their programming in hammock on their new iProducts.

Sometimes it feels like as if it is more important what a sjw has to say as the consumer itself. Like, the impact of the sjw opinion is more heavy than the consumers opinion. because the consumer is just a fanboy, a hyper consumer like leigh said once. i think these AAA studios took the 'gamers are dead' article too serious. I could even imagin that most AAA studios didn't know why these where posted in the first place.

But who was it, or what was it that convinced these people that the opinion of an SJW was more rightouse than the minority they speaked for? Did MSM really changed people mind on this? Did the system fucked their brain so hard? I mean, even commercial breaks nowadays go on the muh-diversity bandwagoon, litterly brainwashing kiddos, so why not the Biz-industry journal too?

its the jews.

they seek to subvert their host culture. they do so by subverting banking, religions, education, and the media. and we have been privy to there subversion of video games. games aren't meant to be fun anymore or enjoyable but to push a naritve, the Jewish narrative that currently is pushing "sjw's" that is for the sake of disestablishing their host nations that we may be more easily robed. every game that is pumped out by all the major devs now have to be on board. you would like to think that is started with SJW infiltrating "gaming journalism" but it goes farther back. they where just pawns to give context and the illusion of consent to the shit AAA studios pump out. but it all goes back to the people who finance the games. the guys who manages to scrape 100 mill to blow on a shit game that panders to their message. kikes.

PR. The publishers see women and hipsters as an untapped source of revenue, and those pesky hardcore gamers pirate all of their shit anyway, so might as well be pandering to the perpetually offended.

Don't speak for anyone but yourself, faggot.

I did say "a lot" not "all"
Even then, by the standards of the actual left, the progressives and such, many of us were already right wing scum anyways. The problem is more to do with personal perception. Being young and being blasted with "CONSERVATIVES BAD" non-stop by every nearly every channel is what keeps most from going full redpill.

Because they’re run by jews, dipshit.

these socjus folks use bots and unprovounded studys based on someones opinion blog to boost their viewpoint. If PR sees those people really as source for revenue they would had to consider to make their profit intentionally worser. Which company does this? The only hope for these companys is the usufull idiot, the fanboy who buys anyway. Hype the indieAAA divers-correct game befor it's launched so you get money from the pre-order. After a week the game is dead.

The thing is, if we wouldn't see the 'gamers are dead' article as smoke screen to derail from the actually topic of corruption in the industry and see it more as signal, to tell their cronyism
"Hey folks, they found out, we have to cut it and immiditley start our anti-gamer agenda"
than many mor ethings would make sense.
>gameplay is art
looking at 2006 seeing since when these socjus folks try to inject their agenda, how long and thoughtfull and than, immiditley after the fuck up they jumped to the next step; 'gamers are dead' article are born. This 'gamer vs player' in this theory sounds a lot like identy politics but not on a level of muh-gender or feminism. More like, you are either a player or a gamer. A player buys only good games the indie/AAA divers companys make. The gamer plays old shit and cares more about frames per seconds.

This gives the PR mor eoptions to milk the hyper consumer. Make more braindead people who buy your product.

When you look carefully you can very much find things that would be considered libshit today in old games, it just didn't stand out as much because we weren't hypersensitive and it was comparably mild libshittery back then. This isn't a surprising development.

I was thinking about how black isle was in so cal, Tim Cain is gay, Fallout 1&2 were in socal, LucasArts games were in san francisco. Hell Warren Spector lived in austin,texas. It's not hard to make the connection. Honestly I'm surprised that Id or rather it's corpse is utterly contaminated by SJWs since it's in dallas,texas but then again that city is filled rich snobs not hipsters. However Gearbox is in the same city as them though.

Western developers rely heavily on market research.
So shit like focus groups that use their "projected audience" or rather, people who don't work and go out in public all day.

SJW's don't have employment, so they can shit up games and drink Starbucks all day. Maybe some of you NEETS need to go outside for the greater good

Unfortunately, all the wealthy liberal faggots who ruined California moved out and went to Texas where the taxes are lower and the regulations they helped pass (which choke companies to death) aren't in effect.

The "games are art" bs is just another way to deflect criticism.

First they weaseled their way into the HR department, then they started hiring ideological comrades for other areas and laid off disagreeable individuals.

This
I will also add that they infiltrated the industry through PR/Marketing positions
Influenced the corporates assuring that tumblr being triggered was an unexploited market, and that by pandering to them, sales would increase
Add to this the "Political correctness" movement, thus increasing this sensation of "pandering to today's trend: being SJW"

How the fuck does diversity actually improve the games? I mean, I keep hearing asserted that it does, but all we ever get are walking simulators and ham-fisted moralizing on the level of an afterschool special. Meanwhile, crazy nips with moon faces and an all-nip team come out of left field with a fraction of the budget most AAA has and actually creates something of artistic merit in addition to being a competent game. He's not even douchy about it. If you like the larger message and it resonates with you or makes you think. Great! If you don't care and just want to trash robots while blowing off android skirts too see their perfectly sculpted asses? That's great too! - Send me all the porn you find.

And it's not like the CDPR has a highly diverse team either, if I recall. They're pretty much all white pollocks making games about white pollocks. Haven't played Witcher 3, but it seems to be well regarded by most players - so obviously it has something there that people enjoy and deem worthy of critical acclaim.

Where is this golden age of better games that diversity was supposed to bring us?

If you have ever worked a job in real life where the company went for the "diversity is our strength" strategy, you will without fail find that niggers and women are only proficient at unloading all of their work onto a gullible white guy or if none are around doing fuck all or half-assed "work".

Some of those corporations have hiring policies based on "diversity" instead of hiring the best qualified person for the job.

how cruel of you to ask this. still, i dont think we have a strong position to complain from when none of us are even trying to get in to the business.

It doesn't.

People think "diversity" means putting a bunch of tasty ingredients into a pot and producing a meal that tastes even better than any of the ingredients on their own could have managed. The actual impact of diversity is, more often than not, more akin to introducing a bunch of cracks and fractures to the pot, resulting in it eventually breaking apart completely.

I can relate with John from the other side of town, I can connect with Adrien who's originally from two states away, I can learn a lot from Tom who spent the past twelve years working in our company's Europe branch. I can't form a bond nearly as well with Lateysha, the equal opportunities hire whom I share absolutely zero similarities and interests with, or Rahjesh who teleconferences in from Bangladesh twice a month and speaks half a dozen words of english.

Was going to post this.
It's all about subversion, basically.
In the end it doesn't even matter if the game is a financial disaster as long as it's successful in spreading their ideology.

What "the left" was changed with the rise of regressives, SJWs. It's not that you changed, they did, when they embraced identity politics. We're talking about people who frequently call themselves communist, but don't give a single fuck about economics, and are openly just trying to divide the lower classes and encourage them to fight over race and gender instead.

A few years ago Occupy Wall Street made normalfags finally give a shit about economics. Then SJWs came and shat it up with identity politics, the exact opposite of what it was originally about, and completely ruined it. In a few decades it will come out that SJWs were a CIA operation to ruin Occupy Wall Street. They did similar shit before, like infiltrating the Black Panthers and encouraging them to become more violent.

Not even trying to say OWS was all it was cracked up to be, but regardless of your political stance, it's a perfect example of how these people basically did a 180 on what "the left" was about, and very recently, too. Liberalism wasn't about judging people based on the color of their skin instead of the content of their characters. Hence not only the hypocrisy of SJWs, but the decline in quality of things they touch, since they openly oppose meritocracy.

do we not already know that it goes up to DiGRA?

if someone who is known for crying oppression and being taken seriously comes to your place of business and demands a job, what can you do?

They also depend on the press because they're devoid of ideas. Creators are encouraged to go outside, but they don't break out of their metropolitan bubble.

turn around and go away.

It's the jews, stupid.

That's because they go for arbitrary diversity with no regards to merit. If you were raised in upper or upper-middle class family in LA it does not matter what skin color you have, because culture transcends skin color.

Truth is that industry needs diversity, but that diversity is not necessarily needed in the dev team themselves, but between them and companies. Just look at games made in Slav countries or Japan or Turkey compare to American or ones from Western Europe. Look at older German Games like Gothic. If you look at the teams themselves, they are homogenous. If you look at them together with the rest of American dominated industry they stick out. They draw inspiration from different cultural influences, which sets their games apart.

Of course SJWs hate games made by people outside the west, because they haven't yet taken control of those countries. They hate the Japanese so much that some Japanese devs are even aware of them and openly say that they don't release shit here because of those people. Or at least antagonize them by jokingly threatening that, like with Tekken.

ooh, im sure that really pisses them off.
dont you just hate it when your foe surrenders to you?

Because they're owned and controlled by Jews. This is fairly basic stuff.

"Games are art" came about as a way to prevent government censorship of games from back in the Thompson/Grossman era.

Because AAA's hire cheap labor.

Cheap labor is fresh grads straight out of re-education camp and third worlders who hate the first world to begin with. The heads of AAA's are also by and large jews.

In AAA, "diversity" means cheap foreign labor or outsourcing.

I didn't say it pisses them off, just that they hate other cultures so much that they actively attempt to keep their cultures from interacting with ours.
