@80espiay@Kingdomace_ The mass social reaction IS data. You just refuse to accept it and instead cling to the cope "there are many factors" when the biggest factor is so obvious it may as well be a slap to the face.
@80espiay@Kingdomace_ That's not considering original IP's that were woke and failed compared to their budget. Forspoken, Avowed, Concord to name but a few with many more examples. Gamers famously scoffed at the woke trailers and poor sales followed...
@80espiay@Kingdomace_ The data is clear. Look at race and sex swapped characters introduced in sequels and compare to the original. Miles Morales poor sales, Yotei, AC Shadows , Veilguard. All overtly woke and either flat out flopped, or had drastically reduced numbers compared to the originals.
@80espiay@Kingdomace_ Prices have risen for everything yet only Sony are reporting a six year decline in first party software sales. Wokeness is like this giant elephant in the room within the industry. The amount of mental gymnastics people do to avoid acknowledging it is wild.
@WelshWitcher Because we are about a decade deep into sex and race swapping of major IP's constantly. Starting around the first Disney Star Wars film in 2015 ish with "The force is female". It's super tired, overplayed, and clearly social justice agenda driven...
@BenCoTHPS It's a social justice sex swap of a yet another popular IP. It's happened countless times in both gaming and movies. Are people dribbling through life without looking at their TV screens!? Or are you about 12 and it's all you've ever known!?
@MeowyWood It is a VERY obvious DEI insert like they have been for years. Every TV commercial is swapped to minorities, every film, every tv show, it's basic pattern recognition. No mem are replacing women, no whites replacing minorities. Always men being replaced, or races being swapped.
@80espiay@Kingdomace_ Eurogamer literally just reported Sony's ever declining first party sales over the last six years. I guess you lot will still be scratching your collective heads as to why until there is nothing left of western development...Good luck sir!
@80espiay@Kingdomace_ You are deluding yourself. People will moan about the numbers of grifters and toxic gamers complaining, but refuse to acknowledge the impact that "all those grifters" have on sales. Even after a metric ton of woke flops, both in the games AND movie industry. It's utter cope...
@80espiay@Kingdomace_ Also, your second point "X game sold more than Y game that was released in a prior generation". Is something argued commonly, seemingly without anyone pointing out the obvious metrics of generations of gamers stacking to increase the player base.
@RobbySmith70940@JohnnyGaming9 Exactly, same story that's been prevalent in gaming, movies, and TV shows for well over a decade. Established female characters are NEVER replaced by men. Minority characters are NEVER replaced by whites. It's always ONE way as that's the whole point of the social justice agenda
@JohnnyGaming9 Branding everybody with valid criticism as misogynistic is a fools errand. You cannot engage with the criticism so you play dumb and hide behind your pathetic and ultimately powerless labels. Your tactic has failed over and over... Money talks and your BS walks.
@DeeGeeGames2009 It matters because it's not organic. It's a pervasive and concerted social justice agenda. Thats thy the race/sex swapping is always ONLY happening in one direction. Established female characters are not being replaced by men, minority characters are not being replaced by whites.
@kjngamer Absolute nonsense. Amy was universally celebrated by all for her writing role on Uncharted. You are idiotically trying to paint the issue as basic "woman hate" , when CLEARLY the real issue is that people are tired of IP hijacking and race/sex swapping for social justice reasons.
