Massive Report Confirms Woke Apocalypse Incoming + IGN's Culture War Endgame Begins 

You're not exactly unbiased, but i enjoy watching your content all the same.

hey endymion, would you be interested in writing a few articles on a game journalism website? Just as a hobby, as it would be a non-profit. Like no ads no nothing. Just a clean blog with good, no-narrative, no-nonsense articles

Your content is the same and boring

I don't like IGN, it got empty after that beautiful true american lady did leave.

@@Amodernvikingrok your opinion

Agreed

i love how these journos firms play like if youtubers didnt exists

All of these journalists are "woke," dude. It doesn't matter what company owns them. All this means is that I have less "gaming articles" to sort through. All I have to do on my news app is /block IGN now.

Well if it fails it will be Tower of Babel levels of destruction

They just curate a list of games to avoid for us.

You think you do, but you don't.

United by hate

Well, the only game journalism I can truly trust are youtubers.

Nonsense, some of us (GenX) hate so many that we need that power focused at times. The council will look into it.

Nobody hates anything enough, the new world is full of apathy and indifference.

Just like Soviet Russia

Yuppp. In some ways this is actually not a bad thing

@@thepraetorian2368 Even modern russia is simillar. They havent change a bit.

I mean... the creator of this video just proved you otherwise, but sure, believe that.

​@@CarTastic-fv6eo good that you didnt suffer propaganda, so you can tell truth to russians that know less than you 😢

And they’ll enact their influence across it all sadly

​@@EndymionTv Well, until they run out of their investors money

To me it has been gone since TLOU2

Facts

its just propaganda at this point

Just propagandists. True journalism is on the internet and by regular folks with the passion for the true. What journalism used to actually be.

​@timstone2813 yeah it's basically like cyberpunk where the journos are inbedded with the corpos and it's up to fixers like regina and everyday folks to seek out the truth or be silenced forever.

Instead of trying to force government to obey it's own laws, people think that it will be better if we give the government even more power over us by allowing them to become socialist.

Damn, these laws are so effective I didn't even know they exist.

USA stopped being a democracy for a while now it’s practically oligarchy

Enron should have just postponed their shenanigans a couple decades.

Kinda hard to do when the monopolies pay off the politicians.

Stellar blade is cool as a game but the MC is bland

Hypocrits being hypocrits. It's all about power and control.

DEI isn't what's ruining gaming. The fact that you've bought into that idea is what's ruining gaming. that and the selling off of all these other companies and studios and shattering of good teams, but SURE, believe what you want.

​@@TheBrokensaintvxvx "The fact that you bought into that idea is what's ruining gaming" let me rephrase that for you "you are starting to think rationally and that's not good, therefore stop thinking and just consume" corporate bootlicker.

@@TheBrokensaintvxvx you are wrong, its definitely one of the things that is ruining gaming (and society in general). Its just not the only thing.

Thank you very much

Do you even know what it is you're supposedly fighting for? The only thing this will end up doing is creating even more hatred and Vice.

You are naive, man. It isn't any turning point. There will be more and more woke stuff in the future, until multi-trillion dollar investors will stop being woke, but this isn't about to happen in the near future.

The only culture war happening is in your head and these internet circles grifting you like Endimion. In the real world outside internet, folks enjoying games. AC Shadows currently no1 pre-order game in Japan and EU. So much for Japanese hating it 😅. You culture warriors vocal minority.

@@masibee "Noo comrade, do not believe your lying eyes, there's no culture war, so stop pushing back against The Message dammit!" We see you freak, we're onto you.

Exactly, who the heck reads IGN or any other "game media" these days? I dont know anyone that does. Last time i read a game article or review made by any of these game-medias was literally 20 years ago. Steam score, streams and youtube reviews have made them redundant. On top of that they have made themself less and less trustworthy. It seems to me these medias and "journalists" only have any influence at all because the out-of-touch boomers running the triple-A gaming industry (and society in general) think they are still the main source where people get their information from.

I'm sure most of them will hit a devastating wall. Alone for being lost. Angry at everyone but themselves for it. Eventually taking a brass pill

They are all woke some just disguise it better than others lol

kotagen wich sounds like quotatgen wich proove that its full of divesity hires (joke)

It will explode

It called mortal wokeness: deadly alliance

The virus mutates into a more virulent form

I guess we’ll see

@@EndymionTv this is far from over, we still have to regain every meter lost over the last 10 years, rebuild spaces, some franchises a irreparably damaged, need replacement. And ESG and DEI isn't going away either, it's evolving into BRIDGE. Ubisoft is the first to implement BRIDGE into it's corporate structure, they said so recently, look it up. Vtuber Kirsche speaks thoroughly about it .

Doubt it. Will take years to untangle this mess and deprogram people’s brains.

@@gr33dl0cknein3most franchises can be repaired why making people forget about the bad, and most companies will start dropping ESG like their flies

Exactly this.

Totally agree, me and my brother used to rent games from movie gallery stores before we ever purchased. I miss those good old snes and sega war's.

Watching no commentary gameplay videos give you an unfiltered view of the game before you buy. I also watch both positive and negative reviews.

Didn’t occur to anyone that Blackrock and Vanguard are hedged and WANT to tank absolutely everything because they make money on the downside as well as the upside? They simply don’t care about humans - if you’re not giving them money, they couldn’t care less about your existence.

...and Vanguard.

Follow the money, find the man 🧠

Damn, "those" orc's wil never learn.

Which all comes down to juice

I dunno IGN always manages to hang around like a fart in a phone booth.

@@DEVILTAZ35 DEFUND PHONE BOOTHS!

They will fall on their own sword

If so, then good.

😂🤷🏻‍♂️

Exactly

We're the ones changing history. They are simply moving the goalposts because they want to resist.

Disney Smirks as they absorb everyone, but have no brain to absorb WB+DC... Bob Iger just not very smart man, so he chose to be woke-woke instead of putting Batman into Avengers.

Lmao this is capitalism 😂😂

​@@animegtrailer5208 crony capitalism.

Technically there IS meant to be a Law against Monopolies, but no duh it's not gonna get enforced when dirty money is traded around to persuade law makers and such to ignore it.

The laws are called anti-trust laws and they are rarely enforced.

That game is DOA

Viking Waaaaahhman 😭

What's funny about that? The game is well rated currently on Steam and folks there begging MS to keep the studio alive. Are you Endimion fans even real gamers?

@@masibee Not liking an 8 hour playable movie = not real gamers

Is Hellblade 2 woke? Because I didn't think the first one was. And no, having a female protagonist doesn't make something woke. So why would you cheer the failing of that game? At least they aren't race swapping the Norse people in the game. Unless someone can point out something legitimately woke about it I'm going to buy it. I will support non-woke game companies and avoid the woke ones.

The man openly did PR for his friends without disclosure, stole from other journalists that found/dug and researched actual leaks and usually follows it up by twitter crying over how leaks are bad (but only when others do it), kept getting shit-in-face with statements like "OW2 story mode will not be cancelled, rumors of those statements from devs are fake with zero truth to it (on multiple social media sites like yt, twatter and reddit iirc a week or so before blizz confirmed it to be dead officially)" because his PR buddies didnt actually have dev info/wanted to push the last pr spin, etc. Yet like in early days of kotaku and co, is one of the folks with enough backing to make it be forgotten by the general public. Tho to be accurate, he wasnt among the figures that kicked off GG, he was merely a notable topic because a solid fifth of the intentional lies journos pushed were from him based on the GJP leaks before jumping in to PR shift into protecting his own ass and his crony friends once the leaks happened with a hard push on the "its hate against women, just look at how even these gamer CEOs hate their female employees" (while proceeding to lie about the timeline of events in all cases, iirc one was some puzzle game the other was either Lost Empires, Sins of Solar Empire or one of the Endless games/a 4x game of the time).

Exactly, dude is woke af

​@@SWOTHDRAhe was even disingenous during the interview with YongYea, did not even give a chance to speak, and even tried to slander him afterwards. The dude is petty asf and if it wasn't for his insider information he would be as useless as most games journalists.

@@toledochristianmatthew9919 Its not real "insider information", we know since the GJP leaks that it are paid promotion+anti advertising efforts from his equally scummy buddies. As in, its PR team giving info and money to do undisclosed ads. Its also why he was never right on any devs only known leaks and e.g. the few months ago claimed Overwatch 2 story mode is progressing and claims that rumor from devs and ex-devs that its essentially dead in the water have zero truth to them... just to within a week be proven wrong, going on deleting spree (i think the YT and reddit comments of it are still up tho) and them just copy pasting others reports with minor wording changes on the topic.

I remember there was once an anti-monopoly lawsuit against Microsoft, until some congresspersons received large donations to their reelection campaigns.

​@@funkydiscogodThe main problem is money, you destroy money, you destroy monopoly and the nation

False, governments are the creators of monopolies, they will never exist on a free market, do you see the problem with you people? You defend the communism you claim to be against.

Agreed.

I'll play the devils advocate here by saying it was social media that did that.

social media is a cancer

True

@@Subsaibot2526 Agreed.

facts. We have reliable reviewers on youtube. Synthetic Man is one of my faves.

Apparently no one. Their RU-vid channel has videos with less than a hundred views

Apparently no one. Their RU-vid channel has videos with less than a hundred views

@@NomdePlume337 They are ads for all the biggest publishing giants. IGN is mostly good for news but not for reviews.

Probably the blissfully ignorant crowd that games casually, which is a huge demographic to be certain. People that care enough to follow channels like this won't be tricked, but I feel like the masses will adopt whatever garbage gets spewed at them by journos.

IGN is their main source so I doubt it. Even if they get hit with layoffs Ziff Davis will lay off the other smaller sites first before hampering the main one

best youtube reviewers are Worthabuy (pc games) and Synthetic Man. Angry Centaur Gaming is ok, but has many run-on sentences which makes him hard to understand. (the quirky humor gets in the way imo)

@@UToobUsername01 will definitely give those guys a look. Thanks for the recommendations.

​@@UToobUsername01Nice to see a fellow synthetic man follower.

Same.

@@Subsaibot2526 Yes we all need to list the best ones to keep the honesty alive. Too many sell-outs.

Yet there are still the biggest gaming news website 🥱. Your "everyone" is clearly not "everyone".

Someone's listening apparently......

Wokeness was always going to kill itself, they just always thought it would destroy everything else before it kills itself

@@Tony_409 it’ll trim the fat so to speak but won’t outright destroy everything

@@Tony_409wokeness- which is just Marxism with new shoes will never die, it merely recedes into the darkness, and waits for a new generation to seduce.

id be worried that they wouldnt hire you unless you share their ideology as well

You will probably have to dance naked for gay gamers on OnlyFans to pay your bills.

Don't become them

@@Subsaibot2526 don’t worry, I had good teachers that care more about the truth then about the power you get as a journalist. I’m most likely going to stick to that rather than the stupidity that going around.

Eh just become a independent journalist trust me RU-vid is where the real journalism are

Probably boomers who are still to some degree living mentally in the 80's and 90's, they are the ones running the industry.

I've stopped playing games entirely

@@Certified_Futbolero That's fine, but the rest of us want to still play. For you, the solution is simple. For the rest of us who still choose to play, it's not so simple. lol

@@endy5enduros307 of course it's simple. I avoided games in general because of what is going on. That's why I pray for Judgement Day

@@Certified_Futbolero Wow. This convo escalated quick! I avoid the woke games too. That's kinda my point above. Just go back and play pre-woke games. Solves a lot of issues and these companies still go broke. Win-win!

​@@endy5enduros307no, i don't think you see the bigger picture here: is all about Orwell's nightmare.

What was that sci-if game with the huge boss and flying?

I think it might be The First Descendant, been looking forward to it.

@vilesounds That was it. I checked out a review but not my sort of game as it is a looter shooter.

I think the guy just simps for him

I honestly had more fun playing Return to Grace which I just finished on Gamepass on series X and a little Kitty big city which I have been playing now and again than that interactive movie that would have been better as an experience on Netflix . 7 years for that nonsense lol. Ninja Theory does have a built in English pub in their building though so you can only imagine where most of the staff spend their time 🙂 I actually really liked the first Hellblade but you can also play it at 60 fps on console and the world has more explorable areas as well. Add in that it was made by a team of just 20 people and to me that game is far more impressive than this glorified tech demo. The Matrix demo is actually more fun lol. I still think it looked much more technically impressive too. Hellblade 2 doesn’t even have Raytracing of any kind.

I mean, I have gamepass so I don't really care, but 50 dollars for a 5 hour game....oof.

We have to defend the little we have😂

I've put nearly 3 hours into it and I'm baffled how lackluster it is. Like what on Earth were they doing for over 5 years?? I'm beginning to fear for Stalker 2 at this point.

Unpopular take here, but I thought the first hellblade was a bit overrated and only got half as popular as it was due to the whole schizoid sim gimmick.

They do it with entire countries, too.

If only there was some sort of antitrust law already in place that just needs to actually be enforced to stimulate competition between companies. 🤔🤔🤔

History is dead, as is humanity.

Dude if Yasuke was a separate paid dlc it would have sold like hotcakes. They F’d up so bad not making him an optional dlc pack

@@LB-yg2br you’re so right, like released 6 months post launch as this cool historical figure.

It's Endy for ya

Seems so.

😂😂😂

I think it's First Descendant.

Only thing you're missing is that these companies have lobbyists that basically make our "public servants/politicians" look the other way, add a loophole in those laws, or just flat out don't enforce them. Sad reality but true. Obviously if we finally made noise about it that would change, which i think we are getting to that point, thankfully.

They shouldn't be pretending this is history. Admit they exaggerated the character.

Prey (2006) was better! ha

everyone is going to go back to old games, whether they like it or not.

I just play old games on steam and GOG. If it came out before 2010, almost any computer can run it these days. Its awesome. But yeah DK64 is awesome lol. Perfect Dark also ha

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree for anyone curious.

The way of the Old Game is the only true way today.. ha. Old pc games are the goat.

Try indie games if you still want to be a gamer. There's no better time.

But nobody gives a fuck if you have money in your favor.

@@lautarogomez9711 I don't think anything will happen unless the govt notices. Most other industries, or individuals, don't care about "games journalism" enough to pursue it.
