Did... did G*mergate win?

Twitter is now chud central, Briahna Wu is on there talking about Rapid Onset Gender Dysphoria.

With the Concord flop, studios are gonna begin to think long and hard about who their audience is.

Just look at how silly this headline looks now:

For some big studios and publishers, having that ugly weird mix of characters is less optional and more mandated by internal policy, which in turn is driven by certain large investors who demand not just corporate DEI, but the pozzing of whole products (be they TV shows, ads on tv, or video games).

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

Absolutely. And thats why theres no end in sight. Shitty sales as a result of these decisions are ignored and blamed on anything else. DEI shit isnt included to get sales (thats just a fig leave to make the DEI slop palatable to the public) so declining sales dont detract from DEI inclusion.

Which is why this shit has left a massive gap in the market. Korea has been filling that gap recently. Right now, if you were to make a decent rpg with attractive characters for the audience, you'd make bank. I don't know why people haven't taken advantage, this is blindingly obvious.

Which is why Korean coomer slop and coomer gacha slop is inhaling money.

I think if you look at the longer timeline then gaming has always been indie dev vs corporate, eventually the corporate interests lose sight of their audience and the industry goes into a bust, and indie devs bring it back into relevancy

The neurodivergent part of g*mergate found journolist. I think its the only thing that they really did accomplish and everyone makes fun of them for "ethics in gaming" and ignore the journ*lists agreeing on how to manage a narrative together.

They may be off enjoying games but I dont they communicated the real issues that came up.

Jump in the discussion.

No email address required.

The "real issues" were communicated ad naseum, but journ*lists realized the most effective tactic was to just outright lie.

G*merGate: "We found hard evidence you and your friends are all covering for each other and dictating what an article should contain so you can spam the same content everywhere"

Journ*lists: "Why are you continuing to attack poor Zoe?"

G*merGate: "And now there's proof you guys are friends with people in the industry and aren't disclosing those ties? Isn't this a violation of basic ethics guidelines?"

Journ*lists: "And now you're attacking random women developers like Brianna Wu? What did women in gaming ever do to you?!"

G*merGate: "We got the FTC to crack down on undisclosed sponsorships on YouTube and elsewhere!"

Journ*lists: "G*merGate is a hate campaign!"

WikiPedia: "G*merGate is a hate campaign. Look, five different gaming blogs all say so!"

Like I said there was a bunch of articles that came out (mostly) on the same day, all talking about "g*mers being dead" or "end of g*mers", somewhat shortly after G*merGape happened.

No grand conspiracy I guess, just incestuous journos sitting in the same slack (whatever the equivalent was in 2014) and coordinating to write the same article.

g*mers are over

Anyone who ever thought the audience for expensive (>$20) video games that require a time commitment to enjoy (FPS, RPG, RTS, etc) was ever going to be "normal people" deserves every gram of crow they're eating. Casuals have no reason to venture beyond Stardew Valley and The Sims. It is not an art form, it is a weird hobby for weird people and it always will be.

A bunch of resetera types thought that if only they made vidya look like Disney they would get access to a wider audience of people who were just waiting to see the "joy" in "gaming" if only it didn't have the superficial aesthetics of male adolescence. What they missed is that the deeper activity, the gameplay itself, is just not that appealing to people who have better things to do. Normal people played Guitar Hero, but they never cared about being good at it, because being good at trivial things is for losers.

Concord was ultimately an adolescent male activity in a Patagonia fleece and New Balances. It didn't fit and it can't fit.

Yes, but normalstrags will never be able to give G*merGate credit because "it was totally about harassing women", despite the plethora of digging showing journ*list collusion. All but the most extreme wingcucks will admit that journ*lists are outright liars (and even then, the wingcucks just think their favorite outlet is fine :marseyclueless: )

The only goal remaining will be continued failures of DEI games, the removal of DEI money from Blackrock in the investment world (at least as far as gaming companies are concerned) and some issues that post-date G*merGate but which the average Gator feels stronly about, like live service garbage with shitty monetization schemes.
