Sony hate thread

They also got way more traction than the old moral majority types because the established dudes in media were lefties and assumed these harpies were acting in good faith. Made them susceptible to the lefty therapy speak rhetorical mindgames from this crowd.

They got way more traction because thirsty nerds and loser millennial goony beardmen wanted to get laid.

Who the fuck cares about Halo or Gears of War anymore? Or Fable for that matter?

All of those games haven't been relevant since the 360 era. Why is Microsoft so allergic to making new games that people actually want instead of making more gay goy slop?
It's funny that Microsoft actually started replacing all the male leads (except Master Chief, at least not yet anyway) in their own games way before Sony started doing it.

lol the best part of that is it didn't even work. The "best" any of them ever pulled was Zoe fucking Quinn.

At this point I doubt there's any talent left in their studios who could actually make an appealing original IP. If they took off the leash on the current crop of flunkies they'd probably just make another "dustborn" (which they already have with that nigger platformer one of their studios release a while back).

Hoodweebs/nerds are one of those horrifying mutations the world didn't need unleashing upon it.

Post-covid hoodweebs are one of the worst demographics on the internet, behind only veritbale abominables like "kpop stans" and troons.

There has always been a type of woman who gets unreasonably pissed at people having unauthorized fun. This generation of them all went to college and now has twitter so the entire world can hear their bullshit, instead of just their long suffering husbands.

Call it political sperging but i believe the problem lies in taking women's words at face value like you would take a man's word, instead of accepting that they're just venting their frustration at the fact men are enjoying something that doesn't involve them. It's been literature, music, sports, gym culture, and now it's moved on to video games. We now have this arbitrary rule which demands all media has some sort of female representation even if it has no impact on the overarching narrative whatsoever.

I'm not opposed to female protagonists, some of my favorite games have them, but you can tell when they made a female protagonist because it fits the story, and when it was made purely out of spite and desire to replace a male protagonist. One of the most disrespectful examples right now is how they're trying to shoehorn Elaleth in the Legacy of Kain series, and how they're rewriting the entire story and defying the rules of the setting to make her work, trashing all of Amy Henning's effort to create a grand narrative that connected all games together.

Sony is in the same boat, and so is much of the rest of the Western industry.

It's no wonder more than 30% of game developers, predominantly in the West, and specifically in the US, got laid off in the past 2 years, with an even greater number of layoffs, and the trend not showing any sign of stopping.

There doesn't even seem to be a willingness among major companies to acknowledge there is a problem. So long as they're unwilling to admit their own employees view the customers as the enemy, and deliberately make games that are meant to spite and antagonize the very people that are supposed to give them money, they'll keep releasing bomb after bomb.

Not that it matters so long as BlackRock, Vanguard and Western governments are willing to foot the bill, but I sincerely doubt venture capital and government grants can keep the whole gaming, comic and movie making industry afloat via subsidies.
