Give him some credit he was proven a third correct with that HD remaster release.

You won't believe what Edwin Evans-Thirlwell of Rock Paper Shotgun wrote about Space Marine 2. (Hint: It involves Donald Trump and GamerGate)

I just want to say that Warhammer was one of the game franchises that tried appeasing to the “woke“ crowd, and the fact that Space Marine 2 is too violent and true to the gamer mindset for them is proof that they are never satisfied.

It’s just word salad at the end of the day, and nothing about the game itself.
 
IGN's Dragon Age Veilguard reviewer On Bluesky:

I've gotten a couple comments on the other place that "game journalists are all woke and you know it" and I think the phenomenon they are actually observing is just that people with hard-right views are generally unpleasant to be around so of course normal people don't want to work with them.

"Why aren't there more big fuckin' dickheads in games media??"

I dunno man.

You will probably not be hired at a major outlet if you are an outspoken bigot. This isn't some huge secret.

If you want to participate in the grown-up world you have to act like a grown-up. I don't know what to tell you. Someone should have impressed this on you at some point.

Saw a screenshot yesterday of his review on YouTube with dislikes and there was a fun dislike ratio going on there.
 
I want an economic crash. These jobs shouldn't exist anymore. Most video game jobs in general shouldn't exist anymore.

Some fun stuff going on with Dragon Age Vanguard. I don't have Twitter so can't find or archive the original tweets.

In short, a 250 million dollar AAA game with a peak player count of 70,000 is "dunking on the chuds" acording to game journos (including Jason Schrier). There also appears to be an effort to boost the games rating with Metacritic hiding user reviews and deleting negative reviews.

Edit: The Schrier Tweet were posted here.

DA's hit 90k so not a flop but definitely not profitable if it cost anything over 100M.

It's worse than that.

We have number for certain games like Dragons Dogma 2, total units sold, peak players, etc. Using that ratio as a guide, people have calculated that DAV sold about 800,000 copies, and at $60 has made 48 million usd. This isn't counting Steam's cut, etc.

DA Inquisition cost 150 million. Even if we're generous and say DAV cost 100 million, it's still less than half way there. Again, this is giving DAV every benefit. And it just looks worse and worse if you take in other factors into consideration.

You people forget it also came out on consoles and is supposedly a very polished release there.
