I see it a bit more nuanced. The Woketards won- at what cost? Everyone hates them. And they inadvertently created a lot of careers like Sargon and a counter culture that seems to be coming back for some revengance. And on top of that, a lot of game journo sites HAVE died out post GG. They won tactically, not strategicly. They lost a lot as well.
you will accomplish nothing, loser, all your online sperging will amount to being called a retard by anyone with a glimmer of a social life
Part of the reason it worked was because Anheuser-Busch continued to double down on their stance. That kind of perturbance remarks more on a populace that is willing to be pushed around, but only so far. Fuck around and find out. Bud Light fucked around and found out.
I wouldn't call Bud Light a fluke. But it required a few things happening at once. 1. They fucked around with the biggest booze dealer in the country. 2. There were a lot of tranny scandals happening at once, people were getting tired of it. 3. There were other beer options.
They don't care, they been making money hand over fist with this crap. Before this started they were fighting to death over miserable grants and tenure, that's chump change compared to the money they are making now. I think sark was charging over $50k for a talk, travel costs not included. Plus the hate makes them more famous, they can point at it and say "see? I'm a victim! give me money!".
The alt-right didn't last for shit, trump basically rugpulled his entire voter base after J6. Even moderates like peterson are out of the fight and cows like sargon are irrelevant now, the most you can hope for is mutahar and asmongold but neither of them will torpedo their careers over GG2, the moment it gets too hot they are gonna bail. Same happened during GG1, anyone who had a career before GG got the fuck out when the wokes called their connections, when that happened guys like idubbz and jontron got the fuck out, the only ones who stayed were the ones who owed any fame they had to GG, like sargon.
TBH most of that has to do with the death of text journalism and the rise of youtube and influencers. People just don't read anymore, period. This was already a problem before the internet with a lot of people watching TV, then the internet showed up and if you wanted the latest news you had to read because there wasn't enough bandwidth for video. Then streaming came along and the rest its history. Doesn't helps that most game journos (and journos in general) are unlikable boring snobbish dicks so its not like they could just move to video.
This is what Null was saying too. The most logical thing to do in cases like this is to find out who the competitors are and sign on with them.
Earlier than that, even. A lot of alt-righters saw Charlottesville as a betrayal as well. I know the folks at TRS.biz denounced him after they learned he was continuing bombing campaigns in Syria.
He's in bed with Nigtht Media which also subsists within Disney's corporate umbrella. Asmongold is up there alongside Mr. Beast, Hasan Piker, and Dream.
Tell that to all the failed, dead games after the past 10 years.
The core unhappiness of GG1 still exists. And still, ten years changes a lot of things. It's going to be a lot harder to knock someone down like Muta.
People do read still. Have you seen the Google newsfeed on your phone? I read that daily because it's fun.
Precisely. It's much more appealing to point to a game that's doing well, tell people to buy that, than be a grump and say "just don't buy games bro". The first is positive, the second comes with a association of shame.
Fucking weak, anyway, has anyone tried reaching greenwald about this? if there's a journo people still take seriously is that guy, plus he got ratfucked by the intercept which he founded.
The reason this is trending is precisely because a sweetbaby parasite/employee sperged out on the curator creating a streissand effect, it has already escalated.
Don't matter, woke consultants still got paid again and again, its only now that the gravy train might stop which is why they are so assblasted about this.
Yeah but not nearly enough to keep the journo industry afloat, that's what I'm saying.
No, the replies before were literally about a black woman. Theres 0 wrong with white or latino or black protags. It's when the writing is about hating whites and the paradox of wanting gibs while playing a very active role in a game likely on merit is a focus.
As I said, tactical victory. The gravy train is ending. Because of what GG started. The tolerance for woke bullshit is at a end because of the seeds laid 10 years ago. That right there is strategic victory.
Idk, there's still a few of the big ones around.
Game devs should/would just have good writers on their teams and wont need any extra consulting.
sure, but these companies would exist if there was demand for them - evidently their absence indicates that they're not needed, and talented writers are most likely hired on a reputation basis (word spreads around, and people have contacts in the industry)
Everything there reads like a robot wrote it.
Feminist Frequency laid the groundwork for this.
I guess it depends on your feed. The fact still is if you're on Android like most people, you have a Google newsfeed you look at when bored.
To be fair, why are you trying to drum up support on a website where pointing and laughing at a distance is the modus operandi? The Farms are a gossip/vent website. Regardless of my own disagreements with people here or my own feelings on the situation, all I can do is to respect their decision to not participate—trying to change that philosophy is to try to draw blood from a stone.
Oh it will happen, just give it time. These chucklefucks are openly admitting to infiltrating and flagging so I can only imagine what goes behind the scenes
