Sweet Baby Inc. and the Steam Curator Group Conspiracy - The company that is responsible for the diarrheic video game writing.

It appears that efforts to take down the Steam group has failed and Value refused to give in.

This has the potential to be worse for them than Gamergate. For a couple of reasons:

1. This has been mostly driven by normies who follow the likes of Asmongold, Mutahar and other youtube channels. This wasn't born out of our area of the internet (which would be a mistake if it was). The people complaining are more mainstream than those involved in 2014.
2. Modern AAA games fucking suck. There has been a lot of talk as to why they suck. The two main reasons being given are poor writing and pushing games as a service. This addresses the bad writing thing.
3. Whilst we've learned out lessons in not touching this shit, it is obvious that hasn't applied to the opposition, they've proven they haven't learned a single fucking thing.
4. Ultimately there is a fatigue concerning political things. And it has bitten conservative provocateurs like Stephen Crowder in the ass so the sword cuts both ways. After 10 years of this shit and COVID, people just dont want to hear it or be preached to, about anything. The fact that Kotaku and games media is doubling down on the political is only going to make (normal) people hate them more.

I am going to sit on the sidelines and watch. As I said previously I learned my lesson, I am just going to sit back and watch, because if it is Gamergate 2.0, then I bet a million dollars and my testicles we're going to get some new lolcows out of this.

Edit: just fixed some shit.
There is a more subtle reason why its different this time. Last time it was a spat between the gamers and the videogame journalists. Which the corporations viewed as watching 2 autists fight on the short bus.

But this time, the root issue has a direct impact on AAA game sales. The problem atists, Sweet Baby Inc, are shown to drive awa tens of millions in game sales via the very simple trick of creating a Steam Curator Group to show what games they've influenced. This is suddenly not a short bus slap fight on the interwebz. EA executive bonuses can be effected!
 
That was the match, but the bomb was arranged with care well ahead of time. We are seeing a confluence of three aggressive strands of autism here. The Anime Localization scandal, where it finally broke into the mainstream that US based localizers for Anime were deliberately rewriting scripts to inject political talking points, the current spate of absolutely TERRIBLE games just dripping with progslop, and the fact that it is an election year in the USA and Orange Man is on the ballot.

The autism could not be contained.
It was going to happen one way or another. The conclusion of GamerGate 1 was well... inconclusive. Sargon made a news network, Count Dankula faced the courts, got through it, made a career out of it, and Jim has super cancer but is still chugging. The wokeness was revealed, but never purged. It basically went cold war. Until now that is.
 
feels like there are glowies in there trying to depress and blackpill all of them, or 4channers are just that nihilistic anymore.
Probably a bit of both. A surprising number of people, even in the right wing sphere, still enjoy and play a lot of these games (which is something I find somewhat odd). Maybe they don't "read into it" as much as others, but from the sounds of it a lot of the shit that's been pumped out is really blatant. Like for example apparently in Nu-Spiderman there's a lot of fag related sidequests to go along with all the negress main characters. I personally haven't played many vidya made past 2015 with some very rare exceptions though. That's just 'cause they just don't make 'em like they used to. Yep.

If nothing else, GamerGate 2.0 together with all this stuff promises a very funny year.

I mean i get playing recent games. Over time you grow to ignore the bullshit, because you just want to play the new spooderman. That and i think ten years post gamergate does something to you. You stop caring, just want to have fun. Until it gets to the point you can't ignore it anymore. I think while there are probably some glowworms, you are probably right a lot of normies are in there and just dont care.

Damn, the way you described it does feel like a season one of an anime or a tv show, maybe a first movie in a whole upcoming lineup.
So, I guess by that logic, Gamergate 2 will really have to shake things up, if the first one was only setting up the future total retard war battlefield.

Well at the time most of the people involved were in college or shit. Sargon was a fucking nobody. It didn't so much blow up as implode while most of them got out and made careers off their new street cred. Now however, the loser gamers have money and news networks. This is gonna be a fucking ride.

The subtle propaganda is the worst. Good thing I am mostly involved in old games and racing games. While Forza Horizon 5 has in character creator pronouns, thats the only stuff I found upsetting. Racing is completely pristine of politics.

Well you know what they say about sequels: They aim to be bigger and better, plus they usually have the production value to do so.

Halo shotgun is a nice touch, always liked that thing.

Personally i dont give a shit about charecter creator bullshit. Its when it starts damaging the actual game that it ticks me off enough i won't buy it. It's why i've gone all in on japanese games. That stuff is still pure for the most part.
