Absolutely mind boggling that every one of these companies has come to the conclusion that their target market is wildly racist, sexist, and off color to the point that they've universally removed voice chat and for many of them even text chat as well. But also are willing to light hundreds of millions of dollars in their studios of hundreds of people (where maybe 20 are actually accomplishing anything) making games that keep pushing the envelope of how to turn off their target demographic. Absolutely astounding.
These companies are completely ideologically captured and I've seen plenty of tweets from studio heads(Cory Barlog and Chet Faliszek both have full TDS) saying they would blacklist certain people. Who would speak up and say maybe remove some of the obese black chicks and add some white dudes in that environment.
I saw a shaving advertisement the other day with an obese woman and i had to avert my gaze for the entire commercial because of how unappealing the visual was
I do not understand how we got to this point, i do not understand how you could make a worse advertisement
I watched a video on that the other day. Apparently all this DEI shit is based off of a single study which concluded that diverse companies and messaging are significantly more likely to massively increase their revenue. Following this study, every industry started making radical shifts towards all of this stuff, all because of the vague hope that it would make them more likely to improve returns on their investments.
Turns out the study had things backwards. Nobody has been able replicate the results of the original and economists came to a different conclusion after further scrutiny. Diverse companies aren't more likely to be more successful; successful companies are more likely to become diverse.
We've upended every major corporation, industry and government in the Western world because of the vague promise that it would make us more money and all its done is turn everything to shit and enable useless, r-slurred grifters to govern vast swathes of cultural discourse.
Usually you'd see a bunch of articles calling the chuds wrong except this time they're really are no white people in the game. I don't know what the npc talking point is yet.

it boggles the mind that these studios continue to pour tens of millions of dollars into games there is no audience for. It's like they want to get shut down
All those Asian gacha games are the perfect, clear-cut demonstration of just how fricking easy it is to make money. Put hot girls in the game, wearing cute and sexy outfits, and let people pay for them. Host your events with hot booth babes to advertise your game so everyone knows your game is about hot girls. Print money.
The 90s and 2000s understood this but somewhere along the way they thought that fat ugly b-words would somehow sell more instead.
These people were convinced Lawbreakers was going to be the best game ever because it had gender neutral bathrooms. The fact that they can't find something stupid like that to latch onto in this game says a lot.

This game is so corporate and focus tested but no one said making the characters 50% obese black women maybe wasn't a good idea.

They must have focus tested it with people who don't play video games and aren't going to start because they can play as an obese they them

It's very simple
Sony thinks they define the market
They think people will buy their stuff simply because it's Sony's stuff and therefore they can tell people how to think using their games

Even if we forget about the current year nonsense in it, it looks insanely dated.
Min requirements are a fricking i7 with 8gb RAM for something that doesn't look much different than UT2k4 which ran on 1Ghz with 128mb RAM
Legit put a shader pack and fix some of the edges and it would be indistinguishable

Considering the length and quality of the CGI trailer, they were banking a lot on this game.
