Exposing the Grift: Go Woke Go Broke

[GearSolidMetal]

I caught you out, again, and you know it. Calling me kid isn't doing anything

You're acting like a kid obsessed with dicks and balls.

Made several references to them today alone.

Oh you 'called me out' over what I clearly said I've barely paid attention to and what I've heard others say.

Did I say something incorrect about your favorite ninja game ever? Is it better than the dozens of TMNT games you've played?

Oh no, please @deviake, don't ever call me out on anything again.

Bro you're way more into this shit than I am, 100% you care more than I do. I also didn't say I called you out lmao. Sad!

Sure kid.
Whatever you say.

Haven't played the game myself, obviously, and that's basically what I heard.

And it appears 'what I heard' was incorrect.

Yeah, 7 romance option about evenly split. Don't know much beyond that

 

[GearSolidMetal]

I'm guessing this is a 'I'm declaring victory' emoji, although you started out this conversation with...

@GearSolidMetal @HereticBD get in here and explain why this woke game didn't go broke.

And it was quickly pointed out to you that Shadows only has 2 million players, not sales, and it needs 5.1 to 7.1 million sales, not players, to break even, and that doesn't count the marketing budget, and that doesn't count the additional profit it'd need to justify being called a 'success.'

So at this point, what are you 'declaring victory' over?

It’s the same typical conservative bullshit that has been happening for a decade or more - they choose which movies are “woke” after the box office records report how much money they made, and conveniently leave our other movies which made a ton of money, and easily satisfy their criteria for “wokeness.”

It’s called an ad hoc fallacy, also known as the Texas sharpshooter fallacy. A guy fired his pistol at a barn numerous times, then goes and draws the target around the area his shots hit, then says, “See? I got them all on the target.”

what the hell are you talking about.
this movie was mocked as woke horseshit for long before it actually came out.

 

[Deleted member 592570]

Lets add the part you left out

but the platforms above actually require you to own the game, while Metacritic does not, and you can shoot out any number you want. The site makes you wait a few days before posting, but that has not stopped controversial games from being review bombed all the same, and those numbers are often well below other player scores on actual platforms. This is mainly true for “woke”-classified games, which Shadows has been accused of since its announcement. So expect those scores to be lower, almost without question.

Lmao

Long before it even began production it was on “Go Woke Go Broke” watch.

Even before Zegler was cast Disney bent the knee to Peter Dinklage kicking the 2 stepper down behind him and announced they wouldn’t cast dwarves..despite the sizable dwarf acting community in Hollywood that was probably all preparing to audition for it.

Then Zegler was announced and not one hour off the presses she said “and I’m not bleaching my skin white” and other assorted woke bullshit.

Then there was the leaked photos of what they were originally planning to replace the dwarves with.

Zegler kept woking and the rest is history.

Snow White is a prime example of a called shot in the “go woke go broke” category.

Even Disney knew it which is why they took the “let’s just get this over with” approach to its premiere

all the production rumors were proven to be completely false. you got duped, friend.

What production rumors?

 

[GearSolidMetal]

all the production rumors were proven to be completely false. you got duped, friend.

I'm curious what specific rumors you're referring to as 'production rumors.' Because its been confirmed it didn't have a smooth production.

So the game flopped then? Declare that clearly.

 

[GreatSaintGuillotine]

I think people were very off the mark about Shadow flopping because woke. However, it's still too early to declare it a huge success. It's projected to be very successful but shit happens.

It looks like one of the better AC games to come out recently from what I've seen thus far. I hope it does well.

He doesn't even know that "caught out" and "called out" aren't the same.

If there's anything that could be defined as "woke" and the thing fails, it's because of that and not because it was poorly made. If something can be defined as "woke" but does well, it's not woke.

He also recently defined a leftist as "someone who has left-wing views"

This still hasn't stopped being funny
