Virtue Signaling in Gaming Megathread, v.2

It’s wild that he’s lecturing other people on grammar and the dude thinks you can never start a sentence with and.
it’s honestly embarrassing @GearSolidMetal doesn’t know you can 100% begin a sentence w/ a conjunction. trying to dunk while peddling a false grammatical no-no like he’s still in middle school & writing his book report. classic.
 
'All of gaming' is an exaggeration, but there has been a tendency of western developers to infuse their games with leftist/marxist principles.

Eastern-developed games aren't doing this.
Even China-developed games aren't doing this.

A short list of obvious signs of leftist/marxist principles -
*Uglifying female characters. (The equivelent of modern art)
*Filling up the cast with LGBTQ characters.
*Girl-bosses with effeminate men.

Sure maybe they aren’t as hot but that doesn’t mean they’re bad games. You really going to turn down Returnal because the protagonist has short hair?

Returnal is actually on the top of my list of games to play when I get a PS5.
And female characters with 'short hair' isn't a qualifier that a game is 'woke.'

Well one perspective is more evidence based than the other but sure.

I was just asking what games you thought failed predominantly due to wokeness or leftism or whatever the boogeyman of the month is.
I'm not going to pretend to search failed games and try to back up my input because everything I'm saying is coming from the heart as a consumer.
I'm in my 40s, I had the O.G . NES.
You may mock me and say the data shows that I'm an outlier but, I think most gamers will and do agree that the modern gaming stratosphere is corrupt and twisted because of a left leaning political agenda.

Like what? Jesus Christ dude say something. It’s so frustrating reading your posts. “Umm like video games are being destroyed by the left but umm I can’t name any and well other people agree with me”. If it’s so prevalent it shouldn’t be this difficult

Most wouldn't given that the vast majority would be female or in their teens. It's like mma...sometimes you got to come to grips with the fact that you've aged out and we're no longer the target demographic for a product anymore.

Like I said: the vast majority of gamers wouldn't even think of politics when deciding to purchase a game or not.

What kind of data points are you looking for?
I quoted you a list of the most popular games a few pages back that explains my posture regarding the breakdown of paying gamers.
This whole conversation is all about vibes and feels. I just think straight white men are the main player base and should be catered to by developers.
Dont be frustrated dude. You aren't going to convince me to side with you and I'm not going to convince you to side with me.
It's a conversation that I enjoy participating in because it matters a little bit to me. The state of games isn't helping me with my mortgage
I said what I said and I believe what I said.

For sure. A man in his forties like me isn't the target demo for anyone besides life insurance sales people.
I can and will judge game devs for trying to appeal to non existing audiences and dumbing their games down.

I mean...sure we can agree on some aspects of game design and quality getting worse due to changing business models mostly, but clearly the audience is there for a lot of games you'd probably consider woke or politically charged.
