Fixed.

Name another industry where it's so common for the employees making products publicly shit on the customers buying the products.

This is worse than 'woke.'

Not a surprise

Xbox will continue to lose market share as it mires its star projects in this kind of nonsense.

But does that cancel out PlayStation project's like Last of Us 2, or like, how does anti-woke financial forecasting work exactly.

Not a surprise

It's mind boggling that companies continue to let employees attack their customer base like this. That statement is such a broad brushstroke for a nuanced subject.

I guarantee you that clown was one of the loud voices against the casting of Scarjo as the Major.

You and other left wingers are being exploited by grifters, but you seem to think the fans that complain about it are the real problems. Leftists seem to love bowing to what they perceive as authority these days.

Elon Musk telling Twitter advertisers to go "fuck themselves". Examples can be produced from every industry.

They have really bad memories lol. Weren’t they just bitching about the Star Wars actress and Snow White actress recently? The complaints were they talked bad about some fans. My take is always going to be just play the other games and move on

And those advertisers came crawling back to Elon and are now advertising on Twitter.

Ironically, Disney is one of those advertisers who have forced wokeness/DEI into their entertainment products, and expressed contempt for their audience.

So it was quite satisfying that Elon said 'go fuck yourselves' to the companies that have been saying 'go fuck yourselves' to their audiences.

Well good news, that's what's happening. The woke games all flop.

I will agree though people should be playing indie games. AAA games suck

210 million in ad buys in 2023 to 4.1 million in ad buys in 2024. Where in 2023 ad buys were down by 35% compared to 2022. Wouldnt call a 98% reduction in 2024 ad spending crawling back.
