There was that other thread talking about Ubisoft games and how theyre putting a black samurai in there. I wrote a comment about how ubisoft marketing is so controversial but then they deliver these milquetoast Ubisoft games.

Just imagine if Farcry 5 actually went the route of RDR2 and had some fucking balls. Instead of try to appeal to both sides.

    That's what I don't get, out of millions and hundreds of thousands gamers, how many are actually that stupid and bigoted to rage on anything they don't like? These incel gamers always accuse many games as being woke, but then these games are blockbusters. Devs listen to a loud minority who don't represent the entire community of gamers. The rest are silent majority who, have varying interest of games, like a game for being a good game, not because it is "woke". And hate a bad game, because it is a bad game. It's simple as.

    Devs fall into the faux outrage bait from tiny minority of unthinking hordes, and it actually makes them bad than if they just ignore ridiculous baseless cries.

    Edit: grammar

    As someone who has been reading about gaming for a long time, it’s the console wars but now that gaming has become mainstream, it became political.

    There has always been drama in gaming, there used to be PlayStation and Xbox fanboys that clearly wanted to be part of a team and for their team to win, it’s what makes it social for some people.

    Then gaming became huge, the industry shifted and now we have a lot more diversity in types of games. So now you have these teams but it’s about other things (I’m on the story mode and no microtransaction team myself).

    One team really benefits right wing media, and that’s the ones complaining about games being woke (and whatever that means). It’s amplified and hence why even though we live in the golden age of gaming choice, we keep hearing this loud minority.
