You can accept magic, vampires, and time travel, but you can't accept a 2014 Red Honda Crosstour with leather seating and a 4 wheel drive.
What are you, a racist?
Whenever someone is trying to convince you that Anita Sarkeesian did absolutely nothing remember that the current state of western game discourse is that we have an absolute shitstorm if a female character is simply conventionally attractive
That's the red line now
If you wanted to take the Stargate programme out of the hands of the Airforce - because that's perhaps going to be the biggest problem. Who or what could you possibly give this multi-billion dollar armed operation to? An eccentric billionaire? Great, now you've given it to Elon Musk.
What of the Goa'uld? Well, you'd have to ditch all their main Egyptian iconography and race, or else a group of inherently evil brown people operate a galaxy- spanning slave empire.
There's no easy way for bad writers, or even good ones, to get around the countless hurdles in place of making Stargate leftist propaganda and we're way too far past peak woke to do most of this shit now anyway.
The US Air Force may have its issues with bureaucracy but is overwhelmingly a galaxy-wide force for human good. They are continually distrustful of a main cast member because of his race - not because of skin tone but because he's an alien. A line in the first episode about Major Carter's sex organs became so mocked that the show not only immediately dropped all feminist pretence but later joined in the mockery.
In pretty much any other show that's been modernised there's a vector for subversion. Stargate really doesn't have a clear one outside of completely rewriting the premise from scratch.
They'd have to do away with the military component (this was already established as a bad move as the the US government writ large is portrayed as much more corrupt than the Airforce). They'd have to do away with all established lore for the Goa'uld, Tok'ra, Jaffa, Asgard, Alterrans, and Ori.
The only thing you could keep is the big spinning worm hole device itself, which probably won't even be allowed to spin because spinning is something round things naturally do.
It sounds like they were trying to, but you can't make Stargate today. The heroes are the US military, and the villains are an ethnically diverse group of aliens in human bodies who posed as the various gods of human cultures in antiquity. The one group of aliens that also posed as gods but were benevolent rather than intrinsically evil - and the Goa'uld are intrinsically evil, as is made explicit - posed as the Norse ones.
That's why Stargate has remained untouched while every other franchise is defiled. Too much of the basic premise is fundamentally incompatible with modern Hollywood. There are too many uncomfortable implications.
Seems to me that higher ups got a whiff of what kind of show they were trying to make, and that show being Stargate, put the kibosh on it.
The "fresh new direction" they want to go with instead will have to be utterly unrecognisable. Stargate Universe is the direction Im sure they'd like to go in, but they already made that before the era of "modern Hollywood", and it was universally panned.
There's no getting around the good guys being the military and the bad guys being evil on a genetic level, so the whole premise is anathema. Stargate future-proofed itself, and with 15 proper seasons and 3 films, there really is no need to revisit it. I can continue, as I have for the past 30 years, just regularly rewatch what we already have. Because it's awesome.
This is how you can tell it's a Bamco published game.
They could release a near perfect game, but they still have to go out of their way to pull some anti-consumer bullshit.
