When Hollywood continues to aggressively shove ideology for a political agenda down our throats, we simply tap out. We're done.
If they want to make movies that people want to watch, they best give us what we'll actually pay to see.
It's so much simpler than people think.
@AI_EmeraldApple Doesn't mean a thing anymore. In fact, most people don't even know who he is. Not until social media started to repeat over and over "It's Christopher Nolan".
If it's a shit film with modern politics, then it's a shit film. 90% of people don't care who's involved.
People should seriously learn to do serious research, connect actual dots and think for themselves. Instead, we have an army of people saying shit because they "think" they're right.
No facts, no try. Just gobble up whatever information has hit their algorithm, then spit it out as if its gospel.
If only an education meant something.
If you don't like it, try moving to Europe or China. Better make sure your social credit score is impressive.
You'll probably be just fine, because you'll repeat exactly what they want you to repeat.
Zero concept when it comes to actual reality.
Good luck.
Weak.
Trump offered every immigrant a plane ticket to come into the country legally. Adult choices are not hard.
You all changed your stance on immigration the moment Trump took office. You stand for Jack and shit. You're spinless. You should do what your handlers tell you to do.
In five years, you'll change your stance again.
American citizens first dipshits.
Legal immigration.
Not hard.
Weak.
@KindredBlade Yeah I'm out. The only thing that separated Sony from Steam was the disk. Now there's zero reason to buy. Not like they have mature, masculine exclusives anymore like they used to. Boring.
By the way. I'll be following you and supporting your games now for sure. Thank you for making games for gamers and standing up for the community. It's something that absolutely matters.
Give them an inch and they'll take a mile.
It's always easy to shrug your shoulders and just buy. "Doesn't affect me"
It does. Eventually, all our games will be complete slop, full of paywalls, game prices will continue to sky rocket, even without the cost to manufacture the disks and packaging.
Games used to be made with pride. Now they're made for profit and propaganda.
The devs that rise above in the end, are the ones that give a shit about the games and the gamers. Not the profit and not their personal ideaologies.
I say the modding community cracks the new systems. Allow us to use disks. Dev companies like you can make the games.
Preserving hard copies. Bringing back cases, with manuals, art and creating hard copy game guides would be incredible.
Completely doable. Just look at Dreamcast. Devs continued to make games for that system for several years. In fact they may still be doing it now.
Gamers can make it happen.
The only hurtle. The giants. Sony, Microsoft, Nintendo and others will always stand in the way and sue the shit out of people.
It's really the only thing that set it apart from PC gaming.
Two things:
Physical games
Exclusives
Now, we're losing both. What reason do I have to buy anything PlayStation now?
I knew this was looming, it was obvious with the ps5 pro disk add on.
Unless they lose the slop games, the live service trash ambition and give us exclusive story driven games. I'm officially out.
Lamest, most overused, feckless conclusion ever. It's a total weak ass copout. If it's because men hate women, then why on earth are there so many successful franchises with female leads dating back decades?
Aliens. One of my all-time favorite films. Sigourney Weaver made that film what it was.
Resident Evil. Both the movies and the games. Without Milla Jovovich, it just wouldn't be the same. Hell, 5th Element kicked ass.
Captain Marvel: Grossed over 1.3 Billion. The first remains the highest grossing (for a reason)
Wonder Woman: 991 million.
Barbie: 1.45 billion.
Underworld: The films grossed over 500 million.
What did they have in common? They were better than Supergirl. They didn't talk shit to their audience and they didn't attempt to destroy masculinity.
Supergirl talks shit to their audience, then blames it's failure on the audience. Yeah, fucking brilliant.
Furthermore, they made Supergirl obnoxious as hell. She acted like a 50 year old war veteran at the age of 20. Completely unrealistic.
Zero heros arc. All the male characters are made to look weak while she's perfect.
The audience is sick of this shit and no amount of showing a cute dog is going to fix it.
Female empowerment does not have to mean the destruction of masculinity.
That's the difference. Movies now, push the same tired agenda. An agenda that does not represent the values of 90% of your potential audience.
The audience now sees the patterns. Hell, many movies will fail regardless of the lead. Because we're sick of Hollywood.
Movies like "The Furious" will do great. Two men fight to save their daughters from a sex trafficking ring. They enter the building, kill everyone and save the two girls.
Why would that movie do well?
Because it's exactly what the audience wants.
It's relatable (I'd do the same thing), it fits most people's values (sex trafficking is wrong and the bastards must pay) saving lives (most everyone wants to see two women saved from something awful)
So yeah, men hate women π€‘
The question is, once they have their success, will the troglodytes come to take over? It's happened throughout Hollywood. It's happening throughout the gaming industry. Hence, the reason the first game in the series is great, then the sequels take tremendous shits all over gamers.
As we've seen. They continue to, then they'll make yet another title. Devs that get fired, get promoted on some other team elsewhere.
Money has been getting funneled into these companies while they're bleeding out.
I'm noticing a shift though. I'm wondering if maybe, all their back up funds from various organizations have started to dry up.
In the last few years, dev teams have banned together, along with journalists. All of them circle jerking and putting each other on their personal party lists.
Lately though. They don't seem to have the same protection. Layoffs and shutdowns galore.
I'd love to see most AAA studios go down. However, I can't help but wonder if it's intentional.
Fewer studios means less competition. It also means, "they will have more control" over the content we consume.
It's happened in every last industry throughout history.
Gaming has now hit the big-time.
We've got to continue showing support to the small guys and keep throwing shit at AAA studios.
Doesn't matter if there's a connection. Ideaology is killing the gaming industry. At this point, absolutely no one has an argument that can stand up to that statement.
Good, fun games=Profit and copies sold (Not player count)
Games with ideaology slop crammed down gamers throats= Failure, layoffs and studios shutting down.
There's also a huge distinction. Games like Baldur's Gate 3, which is a great game, was successful in large part, because it gave gamers a choice.
Freedom of choice matters.
Games that preach are shit. The gamers are heavily male dominant.
Fact: They don't want ideaology shit either.
So, make quality games that are fun to play. Period.
Games are about escaping this reality. Not being constantly reminded of what pronoun you prefer, or how many letters we need to memorize for you.
