Because Larry Fink is the gate keeper of the American market. You want to sell your product in America? You have to abide by his rules. Remember, this is a man who runs a company that is considered "the fourth branch of the American government". That is how powerful Fink is. Fink desperately wants to mold Americans into his preferred image. He can't have foreign influence that would make the goy question his beliefs and agenda. Because of that he ruthlessly makes foreign markets abide by his rules.

If there is anybody you should hate more then Fink it is the United States government. The US government could easily put an end to Fink and his company given that Fink does nothing but break the law and commit crimes that would lead a normal person in jail but they don't. The reason for this is because the likes of Fink and Soros are consider assets to the United States and help in maintaining its hegemony. Fink and Soros do a good job of collapsing the markets and plummeting the dollar of competing nations. Thus making many of these rival nations dependent and subservaint to the United States and their dollar. Our country is evil and run but sociopaths.

Really good point Synth brought up recently is the fact that the Left continually posit everything is political. They do this all the time...unless it's no longer convenient to do so. If the Left is ever in a political argument they know they are losing, they retreat to a non-political stance due their inherent lack of rhetorical ammunition. He experienced a bit of this going back and forth with folks on Twitter concerning is TotK review.
Part of Synth's analysis of TotK was political and of the folks who BTFO'd him, they attacked him for being political.
So, nobody and I mean nobody on the modern Left can ever make anything with the intent of being funny. Ever. They can't. Humor really only works if its offensive and being offensive is anathema to the Left unless the offending party is one of the bad words (i.e, racist, Nazi, Literally Hitler, etc.) Yet this is the kind of approach they feel they can take when someone on the Right is political. In other words, they conveniently drop the "everything is political" pretense and proceed to adopt a "stop taking my cartoon video game for babies so seriously" pretense.
But, by merit of his even being political about TotK, Synth was playing by their rules, so they conveniently abandoned their rules because it wasn't convenient for them to anything other than basically say, "It's only gaym! Why you haff to be mad?!"
If a Leftist ever tells you "everything is political" they're lying and I suspect a great many of them know they are lying. But they've no reason to tell the truth because, hey, there never seem to be any consequences for it.

Leftists love to romanticise things with their brand of critical theories (e.g. Racism, Feminism, Marxist), a good ironic use to show hypocrisy. But with these type of people, doublethink is fine along their idol of Equity and Progress is pleased.
Regardless, it would be interesting to see the use of (not necessarily) Right Wing critical thinking, I mean they got away with saying that Batman having a cape is (as Anita Sarkeesian claims) 'strategic butt covering' and other retarded shit.
On another note, has Synthetic Man seen American Krogan's content?

I believe he has given he's used terms like "proto-woke" and the only other person I've heard say that is American Krogan. Particularly in reference to the Mass Effect games. Synth posits there's proto-woke elements in Fallout New Vegas and that's a study I'd like to conduct sometime in the future as I think there is potential there.
Japan is bending the knee to ESG, which is why we're seeing a lot of Japanese video games turn to shit.

Do you really have to?
>two faggot companions
>both are from organizations/families with strict standards or disapproving of such behavior
>female soldiers composing 50% of armed combatants in the war on the NCR's side
>a female ranger managed to kill every male soldier who tried taking her on with her bare hands (holy fucking shit, my sides for this one)
>damn near every single person says the Legion is worse than the NCR in every way, even when they lack the benefits of either occupation with all the downsides
>a super mutant who worked for a genocidal maniac holds the same opinion, likely because he was a fan favorite companion in the mess that was 2
>game rewards you more XP for "good" guy options than "bad" guy (fucking Boulder City)
>there are perks for being a faggot
I've liked the game for well over ten years, but it's hard to deny there is a lot of riduclous woke shit if you NOOOOOTICE hard enough.

I'll argue that is still better than anything we saw in Fallout: The Frontier. At least the devs in New Vegas didn't add female legionaries and knew better than to add their scaly and foot fetish into the game.

Not to mention that there are things you can do in the game that the Western industry will never let you do anymore. Such as:
1. You can treat your gay companions like shit. You can sell Arcade into Legion slavery, tell Veronica that you killed the Brotherhood and that she is next, and terrify Christine into submission with her claustrophobia.
2. You can have your character get into disagreements with Arcade in regards to the Legion instead of just giving him ass pats over his beliefs and agreeing with everything he says like you would see in a modern Western made RPG.
3. You can tell Vulpes Inculta that you appreciate the Legion's morality and sense of justice. You would never be given this choice if the game was made today.
4. You can side with the Legion or Mister House. Modern Western devs today would never give you the option to side with the traditionalist fascists or the Elon/Trump stand in.
5. You can play a female character that is a whore if you choose Black Widow and have her sleep with male quest NPC's to advance a quest. If this was made by modern Western devs the only choice you would have for female characters is the lesbian perk.
I would argue that New Vegas is more liberal than woke. At least New Vegas gives the player options to be a dick or a fascist. You don't see this kind of game design anymore with Western games. Damn shame.

So, I never watched these showcases in the past and I haven't played a "new" video game since Doom (2016). In fact, it's only recently I started playing through Doom Eternal, and that was only because I had pre-ordered it back when it came out and I just hadn't taken the time to play it. For the most part, too many aspects of my life have taken up my time to the extent that playing video games is something I have little-to-no time for. And every time I do play video games, I feel a bit guilty for it because I realize I could have spent that time doing something productive or useful--like reading something, writing something, or--hell--just going for a walk.
What's striking to me is how much babying these companies are engaging in with concern to their consumers. Nowadays everything seems like it's just catering to a self-imposed state of infancy. The Day 9 stuff in particular is derivative of something you might have seen on Sesame Street or some other PBS show made for children. But most everything else is of the same ilk. I feel like everyone is taking pointers from PBS kids and today's generation has just accepted they're going to remain in this 8-year-old world of industrial entertainment from cradle to grave.
Synthetic Man keeps on saying Gaming is dead, but I'd say that gaming has devolved. It's still very much a hobby, but it's definitely not the kind of hobby that it used to be. During the late 90s and early 2000s, the technology was still developed and I think we reached a "peak" so to speak in the 2010s. Since the 2010s, I daresay there was nowhere else for the technology to go. Nobody was really experimenting anymore and everything just embraced industrialized commercialism while abandoning the innovation.
I was perusing YouTube for early footage of E3 shows and discovered E3 1995.
What's striking to me here is everything in this video is informative. Nothing about the "show" was trying to hide behind the dog-and-pony shows of today. The show itself wasn't trying to entertain you. None of the games were hiding under the gloss of a prerendered cinematic cutscenes. What's more, the people doing the showcasing weren't paid actors in fancy suits. Even the nerds who look like kids are talking about the craft in a manner that straight-forward and adult-like. They were talking about creating and improving on the technology at hand. You don't really get a sense of any corporate handling of anything going on, rather a garage kid innovation is what's going on.
And nobody was concerned about making their characters BFPs (Black Female Protags). People were just concerned about graphics, coding, and other technologies.
Unlike movies, Gaming actually requires engagement. Which means games have become the perfect vessel to promote ESG and other woke politics. No wonder they've become walking simulators with un-skippable cutscenes and constant dialogue. Everything is meant to lull you into a state of compliance. Who cares if the game is virtually unplayable, so long as your MC is a BFP, right?
Please excuse the double posting, but, just wanted to make you aware of what Capcom is doing nowadays.
TL;DR, Capcom is officially goyslop.

I'm aware, but Dragon's Dogma is Itsuno's passion project and the only reason he came back to help them make DMC5 if rumors are anything to go by. Hopefully they'll ignore this one.

I like him and share many of his opinions, but I think someone described my feelings best when calling him a "charisma vacuum". His opinions aren't the issue, but just the way he delivers them comes off as being so fumbled. He doesn't present them in a way that's smooth, witty or clever but just hamfisted where it sounds like an angry tangent.
I get where he's coming from being jaded about the state of the world and that's just a result of him being a guy that just says what he feels with no filter. But the downside of that is it only attracts other retards from the other side of the political aisle who just want to fight you for attention. And that can turn into a dangerous loop where when you engage with slapfights it only pulls you in deeper into drama.
The trick to mocking something is to play it off as a joke rather than stand on top of a soapbox and rant about it. Do what Fox interviewers do, let the retardation speak for itself. Simply showcase the stupidity and let the audience draw conclusions for themselves, rather than spoon feeding it to them. That way lefty channels can't clip it and do "reactions" to it because playing it wouldn't result in a clear comeback that they want.
For his own sake I feel like if he wants to avoid being sucked into the e-drama spiral he should take a break and focus on reviewing older games that he actually likes. It's important to once in a while disconnect from the current year(TM) and clear your palate by reseting. Or else you turn into a joyless husk who can only experience negativity.

Seems like a insufferable faggot to me but hey, if all you want is a shitty bait/console war/contrarianism thread on /v/ but in video form then I suppose he's as good as anyone else.

Do you really want to hear him to have the same forced, psuedo-intellectual delivery as everyone else these days? The contents of what you say stand out from delivery or at least they should. Giving so much credence to delivery itself opens you up to manipulation.
Playing everything off as a joke will go against the point of even addressing it. The issue isn't getting channel critiques at all. If anything, it gives Calub or Calum or whatever more exposure. He was probably going to get the same treatment regardless if people on twitter didn't get their panties in a twist. Mauler and Vaush (I can't believe he got the pedo-man himself on his ass) already make giant fools out of themselves as is.
