I found a good video talking about the current crisis in competence in gaming. This is coming from a perspective of a COD youtuber, one who has nothing else to talk about since COD is perhaps the finest example of a "AAAA" game that has fallen apart completely. I found it interesting since it gave me an epiphany: He doesn't mention any of the SBI stuff or the wokeness in gaming, because at the end of the day games would be shit even without it. If you removed all the fags, the diversity hire characters, made every character aryan and beautiful the games today would still be hot garbage. The foundations have rotten away completely and the whole situation with DEI and SBI are just the cherry on top of this shit sundae. Figured I might link the video for a different perspective:
Funny how he admits that he is taking more sponsorships(including the one in that video) and has nothing else to do other than to bitch because the game he has been covering for years has become so creatively and morally bankrupt that he simply cannot do it anymore, content creators simply don't get views when they cover it anymore(If you want to know just how much of a disaster the most recent COD has been, check out the thread on it here). More people have to get loud and say "I am not buying this slop", simply not opening up your wallet isn't enough anymore. If you stay quiet, then the boy's club will simply make sure to all write coordinated articles about how game X succeeded and only a few chuds were angry that it had diversity in it, when the truth is the game sucked and nobody bought it. Harder to do that when the average gamer does not stay quiet, more shitty games need to be tarred and feathered than just the biggest flops like Redfall or Suicide Squad.
