"I’ve been laid off so many times in the last 5-6 years, had so many turbulent issues working in games. I have trauma and can’t ever fully trust anywhere now.- MANAGER (GAME DESIGN), CALIFORNIA"

GDC's festival of gaming released their yearly report on the gaming industry for this year. A lot of it confirms what some gamers have already come to the conclusion of when looing at games such as Dragon Age: Veilguard, Concord, or Highguard.

Right off the bat, the cover of the PDF shows what looks like to be a troon:

The interesting statistics worth noting in the PDF are that of age, LGBT+ identification, and gender identification, as seen here with explanation of metrics:

This is just the tip of the PDF findings, but these are a majority of them. I end off the article with this image:

Rookie numbers. I want to see a crash that makes '83 look like a corporate restructuring. I want to see shitlib and troon game devs jumping off bridges.
 
Notice how they didn’t so much as give even a casual mention to who their paying customers are or their preferences…. This is why 1/3 of them were fired.

Even if you get a very favorable ESG loan to make your game lame and gay, you still have to pay it back, and that means you need gamers to give you their money which is a hard sell when your game is lame and gay.

Fortunately a PDF archive of it hosted somewhere else was found and has been attached to this post.

As someone who's Steam account could have probably been a used car, I have barely played anything in the last year and almost all of it was $10 indy crap. It doesn't hit the same, maybe I have built a tolerance but I feel like there is more baking soda in my crack lately. I bought Titanfall 2 for $2.50 and played the campaign the other night and was like "Wow shit was better." The story is generic and it was short but it was polished and the game play was super tight.

These days it's all so formulaic and cash driven or grind-y and void of content and RUSHED. Everything is so committee driven that it all just blends together. Nobody wants to take a chance on the niche audience and so they are all chasing the same vague mass appeal, making the same pastel looter shooter bullshit, open world slop and souls clones.

What about a realistic scuba simulator with real life locations and hazards? What about a 6DOF ship rescue, recovery, boarding crew game in the vein of Ship Breakers with the cutting and decompression but with hostiles, hostages, entry/exit trajectories. payloads, etc.? What about any number of management sims I can rattle off?...
 
Basically half of developers being some flavor of faggot certainly explains why everything has been going to shit. Maybe putting another third in the welfare line will make them get the hint?
 
Shouldn't have driven out all the arrogant white guys with a vision and passion for the job to replace them with Indians and girlies who are all cheaper, but incompetent. Should have listened to your customers instead of Anita Sarkeesian. Shouldn't have jumped on every progressive social bandwagon.
 
A lot of people are talking about this as though it were a bad thing. But how did people think the purge would happen? The night of the long knives will end when there are no traitors left or the cut is to the bone.
 
Oh no, fags and trannies wormed their way into the video game industry alongside rampant greed and and excess drm/spyware and nothing worth is worth playing anymore unless you're mindless cattle who has to play things because your friends do thus leading to people with half a brain to say "fuck this gay shit i'm not playing any of this garbage", thus leading to developers getting laid off because they prioritized ideology over profits! what a shame! cry me a river you niggers.
I don't think there's any reason to upgrade your computer past a rtx 3000 series or a rx 6k, nothing worth playing, you can play the older games at 1440p 120 fps etc with the higher tier gpus.

The only game I have ever in my life seen actually justify the 65$ tag is factorio space age.

They are chasing a niche audience though, gays, trannies and women who don't play vidya. I can deal with derivative gameplay as long as you give me a well made story to go along with it. But they can't even do that.
