Why is the videogame industry such a magnet for this retarded power struggle? What is it about videogames that absolutely requires this amount of conspiring and cabal bullshit?

What others said about gaming being bigger than movies and thus a prime target for propaganda that hasn't been tapped.

But another element of it is that gaming hasn't fallen, or at least no where near the degree of films and TV. Suicide Squad was a massive flop, but we still have games like Palworld printing money. Compare that to film where the M-She-U can burn money over and over, but keeps trucking along because the closest to a viable alternative is zero budget student films no one has heard of. The means of distribution are so thoughly controlled that there can be no viable competitor.

Making it sting worse is that gaming was meant to be the easy win. A bunch of loser nerds to be brushed aside, but they refuse to budge.

what even is the victory condition for this shit?
i don't really see how anything would come of this. even if they get a few studios to denounce and cut ties with SBI (which would be a god damn miracle) and SBI disbands as a result, the people in SBI aren't going anywhere and neither are their industry connections. they will go to different positions and continue doing the exact same work.
and that's not even touching on the fact that SBI isn't even super special or outstanding, there's hordes of DEI/ESG consultants all across the corporate sector, including in video games. even if this somehow results in the death of SBI, there's a near infinite supply of others just waiting in line to take its place.

The only endgame of this is to destroy video games outright. This isn't just a DEI or ESG thing. This is a complete Marxist takeover to institute China style Iron Curtains around the internet and gaming. The only end result of this is eventually we bankrupt these companies by refusing to buy their games. Gaming companies aren't like Hollywood or TV or news media. These companies live by the skin of their teeth and a few bad AAA games WILL collapse them. Unless they go full post-profit era, the only endgame is their complete eradication.

That being said, they're coming for emulation and indie scenes next. Especially emulation. You cannot be allowed to play your great 30 year old games that sparked your interest in them in the first place. Emulate your favorite games now, download them onto some CDs or hard drives to keep as PHYSICAL media now. Otherwise in a few years, it'll be illegal with 100 years in prison for emulating Pokemon Emerald.

The closest we'll ever have is Epistle 3, and maybe some kind of fan interpretation of that down the line in game-form. But after shit like Hunt Down the Freeman, and given the state of the HL community and its infestation, I'm not even sure I'd want that.

Marc actually said he regretted releasing Epistle 3 due to it causing problems for people at Valve (although ultimately I think it was the right choice).

I've seen many a HL3 fangame project and it's always riddled with troons and produces nothing.

Skimmed through a lot of this, I can't help but have the reaction of the Asian dude on Empire of Dust.
I can't help but feel black/doom pilled about everything and no matter how big the consumer backlash is things just always get worse over time.
I'm so tired of all this faggy/tranny/commie non-sense.
Unfortunately society has changed to the point where what our grandfathers and great grandfathers would do to these people simple can't happen any more to keep them in check.
I'll leave it there. I want things to change but I'm afraid I'm at the point now where I just wanna move to the middle of no where, put up a bunch of no trespassing signs, and play snes games over and over for the rest of my life.

In the age of personal computers, they're retarded if they think they can control vidya, a purely digital market. Anybody can build a videogame on their own computer and publish it on Steam and become a raging success if their game is high quality enough. This is one instance in which they can't achieve institutional capture and control everything in a top-down manner and market correction will truly fuck them.

The deliberste cognitive dissonance is always the most annoying part to me, they know why SBI is disliked, but they deliberately choose to frame it as being disliked for "consulting", not the actual reason why which is their shitty politics. I know they always do this, but it still irks me to no end

The company Weird Ghosts, as mentioned a couple of times in this thread, has this as their own desciption;
"We support video game studios with studio development training, catalytic investments, and community in order to build strong, impactful teams of underrepresented makers who are shaping the future of games."

with these 2 as the founders on their website https://weirdghosts.ca/

Other than the fact they're clearly both insane, they also state on their website that the minority investor is infine ammo inc. and on that website the first paragraph is this:

I don't know too much about it, but I remember this death being related to the original gamergate?

The top chick is the sister of Alex Holowka. The indy dev that Zoe Quinn tormented to suicide. The sister supported Zoe with regards to murdering her brother. She isn't simply crazy. Shes psychotic.

If something as retarded as gamer gate clings to life, perhaps there is hope for Ralph.

Nah just kidding he's stupid.

This. Do you know how much money Lethal Company made? It has 260,000 reviews on Steam, and you can probably charitably double, triple, or even quadruple that number to get within the ballpark of what it actually sold. We’ll reign it in a little and estimate it sold 600,000 units. That’s $6,000,000 of what is very likely pure profit. People have retired on less. This kid isn’t even 25 years old. Meanwhile, for Nigger-Man 2, Insomniac had to sell 7,000,000 units just to start turning a profit. Nigger-Man 2 put them nearly FIVE HUNDRED MILLION DOLLARS ($500,000,000) in the hole. For a game, by their own admission, people may not even be able to tell is any better visually than Spider-man 1.

I wish I could have a chip installed in my head that would allow me to completely block out twitter and any screencaps related to it.

Nothing good ever comes out of that cesspit.

Taking bread and circuses away from people, especially people at fighting age, surely won't have unintended consequences...
