Yes, you make a good point. I mean the stated goal of taking over gaming means, "You will buy this slop because you will have no alternative." We'll just have to see if they have enough money to do that. I identify Steam and the 3 major consoles as possible points of failure, along with any Steam alternatives which are not as important now but might rise if Steam itself is completely compromised.
We'll see what happens. The whole atmosphere around the discussion at large as of this time seems more like outrage rather then any evident tangible change. At the very least, a light was shown on Sweet Baby Inc. and its peers though so that's good.
I've always been a liberal leftie but I'm in the same boat as you. Just because I hate the right doesn't mean I want braindead lefty propaganda in my entertainment either. Most of what the liberal establishment sells to the public is ultimately nothing more than a fantasy with little basis in fact.
If that's an edited post then why is the post number different, too?
There are many people who buy GTA games who don't even play any other video games. People buy these games out of habit, because they bought new games on the PS2 20 years ago, and there are only a few to pick from now that are state-of-the-art. If the 10 AAA games made this decade that are able to turn a profit are all woke, all it shows is how hollow the industry has become. Eventually these old men who played Spider Man 2 and GTA San Andreas will stop coming back, or just die. The zoomers are playing LoL and Fortnite.
I have a normalfag friend who said he will buy GTA6 even if it costs $500. Not even exaggerating, he said those exact words. Unfortunately I suspect the Grand Theft Auto brand is just too powerful among consoomers, there is no way in hell it will bomb no matter how much woke shit they infect it with.
I've seen it work in normal professional life where people that don't really follow pop-culture thinks that's the new thing and they don't dare to speak their mind at work so they bite their tongue. Along with most of their co-workers. This DEI shit isn't popular, as proven by the market, and it forces a social isolation a lot of people think 'maybe I'm wrong?'(in the way a straight teenager might think they're wrong in a 2024 cartoon for children) because they can't speak freely or ask questions about these things in a public setting. The only one that can speak openly, and often in a scornful/hateful/maliciously way, are the ones supporting the agenda that no one actually wants.
They're already doing that and will only stop when they actually run completely out of money.
For GTA in particular the biggest things that could drive consumers away from it is probably toning down the social commentary and the level of mayhem and violence that is allowed, assuming of course that they they would ignore or overlook more subtle problems.
) after 6 months of Geeks & Gamers types shitting on it.
GTA5 even was really lacking in anything substantial to say except that LA and the people living there are fucking troglodyte subhuman freaks.
Idk about that. It was a pretty damn good social commentary for its release Era (the raise of social media and hyperconsumerism). If GTA6 wants to continue their legacy of shitting on the hottest things socially, it's going to lean HARD on politics and socjus.
That must be a record, first sentence and its already a falsehood.
Sweet summer child. Back in the first gamergate trenches, we learned that every word was a lie, not just sentences.
