It is not the case where le evil company whispers bad advice to a clueless companies Wormtongue-style.
Yea the clueless stage was like late 90s, at this point the industry has been totally overtaken for decades, and this will never end until it dies (or perhaps the badly parasitized society that birthed it dies).

I would guess the most likely outcome is gaming becomes far less mainstream again as normies continue to eat slop and wonder why they haven't had fun for ten years then eventually get fed up and give up.

I love how the response to those who oppose SBI is always “you must be a white man and probably a nazi.” As a mother who just enjoys video games, it really does make it difficult to stand against trash like KTSS and Forspoken, because no one will just focus on what’s at the core: the games. Bad games. I don’t care what your political views are or what you do in your personal lives, but if the games associated with you are poorly written, highly monetized and have uninspired gameplay, I won’t want to buy games with your name on it.

Developers need to focus on telling original and compelling stories with creative, fun gameplay. If that happens and your game happens to be “inclusive” or whatever, no one would complain. Just make good games.
 
Fallout 4 was also widely acclaimed and it was dogshit.
Come on, come up with something other than a bad faith argument for once in your life.
To me, a game is good if I like it. I liked Elden Ring, and I think you guys are being ridiculous.
Gameplay? Cohesive lore, ethnography and aesthetics leading to genuine immersion?

... but if we are talking hopes and dreams how about a game where you play as Mecha-Hitler and slaughter the Lügenpresse? That would be pretty cathartic.
Was Elden Ring bereft of gameplay? Of cohesive lore? Of aesthetics? Of ethnicity? (Note: that same character creator lets the player choose from one of ~10 different races.)
 
Why blow up on this of all things, and why now?
Because Gamergate turns people straight deranged.

It was amazing that "Kotaku is fucking trash" was an okay opinion to have exactly one day before Gamergate happened and then suddenly became Verboten to say.

The "Fromsoft Fans" I know all say it was a Mediocre Souls game, and while the core stuff is solid that they all basically felt that the bosses were very sub-par and none of them were remotely interested in the DLC.

I trust them more than I trust an award.
 
MOM, this person on the Internet is says that I’m going to be in New York Magazine, yeah the one grandma reads.

Edit: that’s the New Yorker, not New York Magazine.
Yeah I still remember how dozens of you guys chimped out and started hassling me on Twitter the day it went to print.
Cope and seethe.
