More reason to say Shonen Jump sucks while he was being rushed.

Kubo: Regarding the original scenes in the Thousand-Year Blood War anime, I approved them on the condition that they were ideas I had already thought of during the manga’s original serialization.

The things I liked fell into different categories with different degrees of success and different outcomes. Not all of them shared the same fate, but some did. They were good games, sold well, received high review scores, or achieved some combination of those things, yet people still found reasons to take issue with them. 007 First Light, Ghost of Yōtei, Gears of War: E-Day, etc.

Manufactured controversies don't affect every game the same way, and the industry isn't operating under one perfectly curated direction. Good games have failed, good games have succeeded, and there are plenty of examples I could bring up.

What I won't do is defend EA, one of the worst companies in America, like these sheep are doing, as if they haven't killed good games, shut down studios, and interfered with the very creative work they're now pretending to care about. 💀

Also, I don't care what someone said in high school. I've always been willing to say what I wanted to say, and if someone had a problem with that, I'd disagree with them. If they pushed it further then we'd fight. You got the wrong one. LOL.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

Now that I’ve gathered my thoughts a little more, this is a stupid-ass reply, because chuds have been doing the exact same shit to good games for years.

Ghost of Yōtei got the full treatment. It had a female protagonist, people went after the voice actress, and a developer made a dumb joke about Charlie Kirk and was fired after the usual pile-on. They spent months calling it “woke slop” and trying to tear the studio down before the game even had a fair chance to speak for itself.

Alan Wake 2 went through similar bullshit. It was one of the best games of its year, yet people still pushed the “DEI trash” narrative because it featured a Black woman as a co-lead who didn’t fit their preferred demographic. Apparently, none of the game’s actual quality matters when it comes to their ideological checklist. It all comes down to whether a game meets their definition of “non-woke.”

And don’t even get me started on Naughty Dog. If the studio shut down tomorrow, you’d be jumping for joy, even if its games had never scored below a 50 on review aggregates. That’s how far removed this shit is from any genuine discussion about game quality.

You claim to care about good games, but that enthusiasm seems to disappear the second a game challenges your expectations. Lmao, I don’t think you guys are all that interested in art unless it checks the right ideological boxes for you. Your appreciation for games comes with culture quota sometimes, and anything that falls outside it gets dismissed before you even give it a fair chance.

So yes, you people would absolutely celebrate a studio you dislike shutting down, even if its final game turned out to be genuinely good. That’s the hypocrisy I’m talking about. You'll still do this despite all the odds in that situation. The principle only seems to matter when the pendulum swings against you.

@RenOperative_ “chuds just want the studios that make good games to survive instead of the ones that shit on them? This is Hypocritical!!!!”

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

So art can be disagreed with because you have a different viewpoint and still be high quality? A game having a gay character or a woman in it doesn’t automatically make it bad. It just means you subjectively take issue with that aspect of it.

That doesn’t invalidate the game’s other merits or make it objectively bad unless you can actually explain why it’s poorly made. No, no, I just think it’s weird that y’all need this explained to you in the first place. Also yes, I can ignore what other people are saying if I think it's in bad faith and they can do the same. No shit?💀

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

@JesseWolfe0420 Found it. I thought so lol.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

Players =/= units sold so the only clear estimates was it was in the 1 million range for sales (not factoring in the other sources like EA play or whatever where people got the game from.)

You're also wrong in that department just like the 3 million sold rhetoric was is. But again....I agree that fantasy should be creatively stifled and there's no hold on that at all lmao. Art should be boundless and people will hate on good well selling games for distinctive reasonings.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

You bringing this up means nothing to me in the long run. You mentioned a post, and I said, “I kind of agree with what he’s saying about fantasy.” What exactly am I supposed to take away from that? Yes, I’m going to support ART over profit first.

EA already has inflated profit margins if they consider a great game like Dead Space 2 a failure. Developers have said spicy things and their games still sold, and developers have said spicy things and their games didn’t sell. Again, I agree with him on certain points. There’s no definitive standard for determining the artistic value of fantasy, and commercial success doesn’t automatically determine a work’s artistic worth.

The point of my post was that people will still witch-hunt these developers, but what happens when they make good games? People will still find a problem with them. That’s the point. Making a good game doesn’t guarantee that people will give you a fair chance, and it certainly doesn’t stop bad-faith criticism or people looking for reasons to tear your work down.

@ArisenBleu @infinitechan Somedays I'm up for it, somedays...nah I'm good. I think that is fine.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

Updating this list as I go:

1) This site is good if you hate everything.
2) This site is bad if you actually like something.
3) This site is bad if you have basic empathy.
4) This site is bad if you're an intelligent person or someone capable of nuance.
5) This site is good if you see everything in black and white and speak in absolutes.
6) This site is good for putting words in people's mouths and taking things out of context.
7) This site is great if you’re a racist, rage-baiter, or grifter looking to profit from outrage.
8) This site is terrible if you oppose racism, believe in people’s rights, and value evidence, critical thinking, and fact-based reasoning.

I....think I got it lmao. 😂

Is it a little hyperbolic? Maybe. But am I entirely wrong? Don’t be so sure, especially in certain circumstances.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

@ArisenBleu @infinitechan Eh...protecting my peace or choosing to let someone slob in my comments with no brain cell/threatening me all day. I love to debate, but I'm human bro. Somedays I'll mute that shit.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

Oh my God....6Arakin (the pedo) is trending. Dude, if you want to see true clowning of this guy then go to YouTube and watch all the videos where he challenges either SonicFox or NinjaKilla in a fighting game.

They straight up fucking destroyed this man in a lot of sets. It's true comedy.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

Any place can be good or bad if you look hard enough. In my experience any "bad" encounter I had on there is minimal. Because I muted all bad faith accounts.

Same goes for Instagram. The fighting in the comments is really poor, but I typically don't get those. However, I do get most of these things on X.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

But it’s not always the absolute indicator in every situation. Plenty of good games, studios, and other factors haven’t always been “good enough” to survive their circumstances. Hi-Fi Rush wasn’t “good enough” for Microsoft, and despite kneecapping themselves, they still shut down the studio because corporate greed mattered more than true artistic value.

That’s exactly the kind of situation you’re overlooking when you argue that a game or studio just needs to be "just" good enough to succeed all of the time, lol. It doesn’t always work that way 100 percent. Some people act like being good is a guaranteed ticket to survival, or that people won’t find some bullshit reason to hate you or tear down your work.

Neither is true, dude. I am simply saying "it exists, it happens."

No more, no less.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

@Wow_canyou_not You can argue Alan had a shared role, but the game accomplished it's gameplay, graphics, presentation and trippy plot threads, creature design and good acting with some good layers.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

@Wow_canyou_not Not what you wanted, doesn't mean "bad quality." I hope it helps.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

@BatsysWorld Welcommme backkkk!

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

Now, is there evidence that chud logic doesn’t affect things in media and that a product can still soar? Of course there is.

And are there circumstances where something being good wasn’t enough, where it was attacked or diminished, misinformation damaged someone’s career, audiences simply didn’t show up for something good, or these factors affected the sales of good games?

Absolutely. Those situations still exist. That’s exactly why this isn’t as black and white as people make it out to be.

[Renegade Operative @RenOperative_]

Lol, you’re misunderstanding my point. If the general argument is “just make good games and you’ll succeed,” then pointing to good games that failed commercially, like The Evil Within 2, or games that continue to face criticism despite their great quality challenges that oversimplified logic. I’ll keep bringing up good examples because they demonstrate that success isn’t as simple as people make it out to be.

Sometimes good games fail because of business decisions, marketing, timing, or consumers simply not showing up in sufficient numbers. Other times, people will find reasons to hate something good because of cultural or ideological disagreements.

My point is that people are entitled to believe that if they want to. However, making a good game doesn’t always guarantee success, and quality alone won’t stop people from finding reasons to hate it. The majority opinion doesn’t have to reflect everyone’s behavior for these examples to matter. If these cases exist and can be demonstrated, then they challenge the claim that making good games is all it takes to succeed.

I’m not saying everyone behaves this way. I’m saying that the existence of these examples proves the reality is more complicated than that simplistic argument suggests. And that’s exactly my point here. The behavior I’m describing is precisely what makes that broad statement so laughable.

People keep trying to hand-wave it away, even when the behavior is still happening right in front of them. You can acknowledge that it doesn’t represent everyone without pretending it doesn’t exist.
