Then not buying the games that were nothing but propaganda training and wanted to change $70 for the privilege of testing the unfinished version.

Not even that, they were mad ONE PERSON made a Steam Curator page that lists the games they work on *using SBIs own website as a resource*. If all they did was ignore him, it wouldn't have blown up as big (yet), but after trying to get the page taken down, that's when the general gaming populace were starting to question it big time.

Not YET... XD

I am myself rather bemused that people would voluntarily refer to themselves by a term that indicates they conceive of their self-identity through a medium of entertainment consumed. (I've played video games since childhood and have never identified with the term). No one talks about movie-fanatics, Western cartoon-lovers, otaku is primarily a Japanese concept for the most extreme manga/anime fans, and bookworm only indicates a person reads a lot of books, when there are so many genres and types of books out there. Gamer however as a term is a very narrow and specific term referring to a person that defines themselves by passionate mass consumption of video games, with a number of stereotypes from nerdy flesh boulder neckbeards to Madden/Fifa/Call of Duty dude-bros to the pasty rail-thin stringing hair goth kid who plays Doom or Hatred religiously all falling under it. People in general don't like it because people don't like fanatics of pretty much any kind, especially not those who are fanatics for particular mediums of entertainment and insulated culture around it who handle criticism with a fourth-grader level of maturity.

Wish me luck as I venture the long and hardeus task of reading this lefty meme.

With the amount of money funding the industry as a whole, it might as well be funding its own nation.

I read his posts, he didn't say a damned thing about them he just shed light on any games affiliated with SBI. How they reacted says everything.

Walsh forgets that entertainment is a part of culture.

Someone needs to remind Walsh that vandalism, riots, and even cutting subscriptions of life (magazine) short have happened in the name of sportsball. That’s acceptable behavior but sitting alone in room with computer isn’t? Total non-logic.

Exactly, Matt Walsh and Daily Wire does good work against Anti woke but they need to stay in their lane and STFU about videogames, DO NOT MESS WITH GAMERS!

Didn't that grifter say that no sport on ice is manly?

Being anti-woke when you're a neo-con is deserves no respect. They're just controlled opposition. They actually hope the social justice warriors by diverting all conversation towards meaningless distractions and being utterly embarassing all the time.

Then they'll serve as a launching platform for people realising how shit all of them are.

Gotta look deeper and further. There’s a certain group of people pushing all this crap….

They aren't consulting agencies, they're protection rackets. You either hire their people to ruin your product or they put you out of business.

@@andallthatcouldhavebeen...9175The same group that secretly encourages the kind of posts made by "people" like you? That group?

If you ever wondered why Rockstar's pre-1900s old west had more sub-saharans in it than modern mogadishu. These Cali commie companies gotta go.

LOL

Well, that's the thing. The actual Neo-Conservatives of the 1960s were people who rejected the New Left (a faction who were defined by the hippies and the Soviet tankies in their ranks), often due to a combination of disillusionment with the horrors of the Soviet system and discovering the flaws of Marxist philosophy and theory and Socialist practice.

And this is why they will continue "the message" is because these studios no longer cater to gamers. They cater to the normies who just follow trends.

It because they are constant targeting the next generation and children, we don't matter to them. By removing everything good, and replacing it with their 👿🤮it leaves next to no alternatives for the average norm who doesn't know any better. At least that's their plan, which is why we need to support stuff like the Iron Age and promote it and push it out to the norms.

Your government and insurance company say that statement is false. You can be forced to buy.

I wouldn't conflate buying a piece of art with acceptance of it's message, tho the two often go hand in hand. One of my favorite movies is a co-opted psuedo anarchist turned anti-Bush era in V for Vendetta. I still love the movie despite the ham-fisted anti Bush rhetoric missing from the source material. I think many people bought the latest SM game despite it's woke politics, not because of it. A good game is a good game. Luckily for us video game lovers, despite the industry surpassing movies in revenue, in mainstream, it's seen as "oh that's a kids thing" so funny enough, it's not quite as co-opted for social messages as tv and movies are. And when it is, they willl find out what Disney did...people consume entertainment to escape reality, not to be told how to view and mold it.

Did it prove that? As far as I am aware the sequel failed and nobody talks about it anymore. Even when it was fresh it was all about the self insert MJ replacement and a few "well that was dissapointing" comments.

This comment deserves way more likes.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who feels like society has been on repeat for the last decade.

The news industry likes their moral panics about as much as cable TV *loves* sports. Unless something happens like the post-race interview of Brandon Brown at Taladega (which was one cause for NBC to shut down their national sports network, by the way). That push is because there's nothing else that's interesting and *won't jeopardize their outlet.*

Lol I see what you did there 😂

I have a particular interest in seeing Rian Johnson's name spelled correctly.

WINNERS DON'T DO DRUGS

As a Trump fan I agree, they do good stuff but they need to SHUT THEIR MOUTHS on video games, also Ben Shapiro has gone insane.

@@UnknownJorge Ben really has gone completely unhinged since Israel and Palestine started going at it again....

@@evan258 What did Ben do

More like coping and seething that other conservatives aren't in lockstep with him, that many conservatives did not trust Trump the first time round because he hung out with Hillary and Bill Clinton for years before running (and thus clearly gave the impression he'd be a moderate Democrat, basically just a RINO, in office), who stated openly they voted for Trump in 2020 between the choice of him and Joe Biden (something which he curiously omits in his rant), and believe that someone like Ron DeSantis would do a better job this time around at winning the election and implementing MAGA policy than Donald Trump, who is being tangled up in politically-motivated legal cases (you can support Trump in overcoming those while at the same time saying someone else can do a better job than him and possibly even pardon him from the motivated federal charges). It's super strange given Razorfist himself admitted Trump is not and never was his first choice the first time. Suddenly he's righteously indignant that other conservatives view Trump (as all politicians) strictly in a meritocratic analytical lens and that personal loyalty to a single politician, especially one that has little consistency in rhetoric and policy, is not justified in their view. Part of that, in no small quantity, is that he seems butthurt that Pat Bucanan (who has had many eye-raising antisemitic positions and beliefs over the years) has been out in the wilderness for the last forty years because no one wants his Mercantilist beliefs in Tariffs (which artificially create scarcity and demonstrated why they're ultimate a bad idea in the Smoot-Hawley Tariff that led to the Great Depression) and his myopic Isolationist beliefs (even though the US has been interventionist at times as far back as the First Barbary War of 1801, especially in the Western hemisphere).

Yep a media corporation run by certain people who refuse to criticize other left wing media corporations run by the same people.

Oh I dunno, Budwwieser dared a few billion or so. And Doritos threw in a few poker chips, pulled them back, but still...

And then have the nerve to blame their failure on their whatever-ist auidence.

He’s always known what’s up. He just rode the fence until public sentiment turned against woke - around the time a certain subpopulation of Americans realized what their affirmative action hires at university thought of them due to their skin color, regardless of their ‘status’ as a minority.

I hate to break it to you, but personally I don't think he's on the "keeping the malicious politics out of gaming" side. In his "Wokeness in Video Games" video, he said "some people believe" (indicating us, and not in a way that he places himself on such a side) - I found that wording peculiar because it's not ACTUALLY committing oneself to anything, more just a stating of a scenario. The entire video was also quite POSSIBLY completely missing or intentionally leaving out the fact that there were political bad faith actors driving storytelling, casting and creative choices

I prefer to see Gamergate as the first real bloody nose the social marxists were ever given by a whole community. As such, not a failure in the least.

The only failure _was a failure to expand out of the sphere,_ unfortunately not a problem the sphere itself could solve. So many rightie parents either working 2 or more jobs or participating in The Forever Wars has left a legitimate generation gap. I don't believe that is just a meme, it's near impossible to get the righties with money to take notice of leftist infiltration into their children's spaces, unless it personally afflicts them like Peter Thiel vs Gawker _meanwhile the infiltrators have an unbroken line leading into Academia since the 60's_ This is one major reason it's such an uphill battle, whole segments of the battlefield were completely uncontested until GG

@Return_of_Godzillas_Revenge I didn't word my post very well. I was in too much of a hurry. This is catnip to the perpetually online crowd. Most of the content creators who occupy this space stick fairly closely to the prevailing narrative surrounding the events of this space and tend to have similar takes. This continues to perpetuate more discussions about said topic because it makes money/garners engagement for said content creators. The amount of things going on outside of this kerfuffle makes the idea that this is vital or necessary just smacks of falling into a narrative trap. Sure, the vanguard of agitators are losing, but losing what exactly? A rhetorical argument in a niche space? Having a few blips of resistance inside a customer base full of hopelessly bluepilled plasma zombies? My priorities are so much greater than this. I lurk nominally non-woke places to see if people fundamentally understand what they're up against and 99% have _zero_ idea what's going on beyond repeating thought terminating cliches. At some point you zag when your opponent expects a zig.

@@kylekatarn5964 Sure. In the grand scheme of things, this controversy isn't gonna change the world. And I'll even give you that youtubers sometimes focus on culture war stuff too much to the detriment of more urgent real world issues. But gaming isn't a niche space. Hell, not even the specific subsect of people talking about SBI is a niche space, the page that started this whole thing has literally hundreds of thousands of followers, and considering recent high profile flops such as Suicide Squad, or even The Marvels over at the movie side of this issue, it means that people are getting more and more tired of this kind of propaganda. The companies are feeling it, too. WB has announced they'll focus less on AAA gaming and Disney has quetly shelved several projects, so I don't see this being a part of a greater plan, I think they legit messed up. Like Razor said, they got impatient.

Why can't all the comments with beef against Matt make this much sense? Instead, these people who never survived an Xbox banter, try to "roast" him with hits that are as stale as the basement they're in. The people presenting the hardest as "cool" and "gamer" never are.

No more VLT mechanics when it comes to monetization (so it can only be aesthetic skins, no buying anything that affects gameplay, no MTX, no lootboxes, no season passes, no currencies you buy with real currency etc). Every game has to be forced to be made to be playable offline just as well and completely as online so people can have the option to stay away from the collectivism of the whole "online community" social networking aspect of it that makes it intrude so heavily upon their lives and also banning has to be regulated so ppl can appeal through unbiased 3rd parties. Online gaming communities are essentially cults if you have no alternative and can be ostracized/banished. The video game industry will never make a proper come back until there is a precedent set. Which will happen one way or another. If not by the government then by a major class action when someone manages to argue they are essentially frying kids reward centers/dopamine receptors and turning them into no-hope life-losers which will put the fear into them enough to make them change and others follow suit for fear of the media backlash and boycotts if they don't. What i'm saying is we need a little reverse cancel-culture up in that bitch basically lol Unfortunately instead of our governments regulating big businesses that can adapt they are too busy making farmers use 30% less fertilizer to grow the same amount of crops and raising our food prices causing 100+ year old businesses like Campbell's soup to go under so we won't have food stores for the coming malthusian catastroph-- oops i mean Great Reset!

Abuse of language has always been one of their greatest weapons.

When they use those words, they quite literally mean the exact opposite of their actual definition. When they say "authentic", they mean "fake". When they say "inclusive", they mean "exclusive". When they say "honest", they mean "lie". When they say "wider/broader audience", they mean "me and my tiny, selfish clique." This can apply to any and all of their typical buzzwords/phrases.

Its only the biggest medium because mobile gaming revenue gets lumped in with it, but most "gamers" don't consider that true gaming.

@@bethanyh1637 gaming as a medium exploded before mobile gaming became the money grab that it is now. take away the mobile games and its still a medium that is consumed and spent on by consumers more than any movie property you can think of. Games like pokemon are a world wide phenomenon. A single game can make more money than any smash hit box office title. To try and downplay it at any level is either feigning ignorance of it all or just denial. Video games are huge part of our culture now whether neocons want to admit it or not and its a big part in this culture war. To tell us to avoid gaming because its "woke" is to cede what is one of the biggest if not THE biggest front of the culture war.
