There has legitimately not been a bad year in gaming since like 2014, anyone trying to tell you otherwise is either willfully ignorant or trying to push an agenda.
Specific franchises, MAYBE, but not the industry as a whole.
๐จGTA 6: A RETURN TO GAMING'S FEARLESS ROOTS?
While "woke" games like Concord and Dustborn collapse (with peak player counts of 697 and 83 respectively), GTA 6's trailer shattered records with 113 million views in 36 hours.
Why?
Because Rockstar understands what made gaming great: bold, unapologetic entertainment that transcends ideological boundaries.
The new trailer delivers exactly what gamers want - not carefully sanitized corporate messaging, but raw satire skewering every aspect of American excess.
From TikTok culture to Florida chaos, nothing appears sacred.
Recent gaming failures tell a clear story.
"Black Myth: Wukong" sold 10 million copies in three days by focusing on gameplay over politics.
Meanwhile, explicitly ideological titles become cautionary tales of "go woke, go broke."
GTA 6 could mark gaming's return to its roots - where creativity and entertainment trump corporate virtue signaling.
In an era of sanitized content, we need games that dare to hold up a mirror to society's absurdities, and show us how silly we really look.

Somehow just by way of games like Concord and Dustborn shills like this label 2024 as the worst year in gaming history, ignoring the fact this is THE SAME YEAR that we got games like Helldivers 2, Space Marine 2, Prince of Persia, Astrobot, Frostpunk 2, Wukong (which he mentions)
@LoneVaultWander I was talking with someone in my server about Skyrim the other day, and he was commenting on how dull and stilted the main plot is; but for 2011 it was pretty good.
Don't forget to take the time it was released into account when it comes to the story.
Today on The Atomcast we sit down and chat once again with Kenneth Vigue, creator of @fchadfallout76 and @FalloutForHope , to talk about arguably Fallouts wildest year.
We hope you enjoy!
