The Official Tomb Raider Grieving Thread - Including the sad, pathetic 2010s trilogy.

[The Tall Man]

Maybe I'm naive, but is Embraer so pozzed that they wouldn't take this remaster being successful as an incentive to make more Tomb Raider games that are more like the classics?

BlackRock owns half the world.
Larry Fink, the frontman of BlackRock, is actively pushing for everything to be ultra pozzed.
This is the purpose of ESG. Each company receives a score, and if you collaborate with entities whose scores are too low, points are deducted.
Consequently, the ESG score impacts not only BlackRock's willingness to investment, but also the willingness of everyone participating in the ESG system to cooperate.
All big publishers are playing along with the ESG system.

The primary method to improve the ESG score is by getting rid of as many White people as possible to increase diversity and massive amounts of pozzed signaling.

The capital under the influence of ESG is stupendously larger than the pocket lint consumers can contribute. Consequently, there is no financial incentive to ever heed consumer preferences.

This is just one of the bigger more heavy handed approaches, but it's part of the reason something ultra-retarded and anti-business like sweetbabyinc does not only exist, but thrives.

ESG consultant is a legitimate job now.

legal disclaimer

Its not even a legal disclaimer. It has no legal force, nor is it required by law. They literally put it in so that SJWs and redditors wouldn't get their feelings hurt.

The good news seems to be that ESG seems to be on its way out. Vanguard, one of the companies that pushed ESG hard, has already abandoned it. Other companies are moving away from it, even Black Rock. At the end of the day, companies exist to make money, and ESG didn't bring in increased profits; it only hurt profit margins, so there was no material gain for backing it.

To be honest, the disclaimer and mild censorship are non-issues as far as current year bullshit goes.

Wrong. They are perfectly emblematic of current year bullshit, and should be opposed on principal.

At best, it will only encourage them to remake all of the Classical Tomb Raider games, so we get at least one more remaster collection. Crystal Dynamics are still pozzed, and Embracer are very hands off in how they handle their companies, so they won't really step in and mandate anything.

Let's be real, Squeenix stomped it to the ground so that Embracer could piss its grave even more

It's weird, because Crystal did do a good job with the Anniversary trilogy in the mid-to-late-2000s until Squeenix ruined them and made them pozzed

 

[The Tall Man]

The good news seems to be that ESG seems to be on its way out. Vanguard, one of the companies that pushed ESG hard, has already abandoned it.

Vanguard is the entity that possesses the other half of the world. While they may not explicitly advocate for ESG, they neither oppose it nor refrain from benefiting from others participating in such practices.
Vanguard holds the largest portion of shares in BlackRock, and reciprocally, BlackRock is the largest shareholder in Vanguard.

In my opinion, the only rationale for Vanguard, BlackRock, and State Street not being a single official entity is to circumvent legal issues associated with potential monopoly allegations.

At the end of the day, the primary individual investors supporting these three entities are the same individuals who have been funding the pozzing of the West for a very long time. If you examine the various think tanks and institutes that contribute to cultural degeneration, such as Esalen, Aspen, Tavistock, and others, you will discover that the financiers are the same rootless cosmopolitans responsible for the development of ESG.

Are they moving away from it or just relabeling it?

Never ever ever trust these snakes. They won't ever give something up until they have to. They'll just run it again under a different name and hope the marketing dept can get it to work this time.

 

[Weltraumfürst]

Aw shit, I didn't know Blackrock was involved with Embracer. That's a bummer.

I for one am not surprised about it. Embracer, being the AAA necromancer it really is, have been into ESG and BlackRock shit, even if Saudi Arabia had purchase a very small minority stake

He's gone. As soon as the Fed started jacking up interest rates and shut off the free money he left Blackrock to "spend time with his family" and gave an interviewer a sob story about how totally heartbroken he was that ESG investing hadn't worked out the way he was hoping.

 

[Quarterback Rex Grossman]

So this game is really censored? I played a little yesterday on my Switch Lite and the tank controls were great and I loved being able to switch graphics on the fly, plus the DLC. I'm seeing shit about her catsuit being altered and something about a jacket, but I'm not watching a 30 minute video.

I remember him saying he regretted giving it a name like ESG that critics could focus on, but it made it seem like he was just going to change it to something less pinpointable. People have been saying wokeness is dying since before 2020. ESG/DEI/Whatever is not going away because it's not about money to them. They're true believers in societal change and have a mandate to fuck us over by 2030. People need to quit pretending it's going away because it's only causing people to let their guard down.

It's not going away, they're rebranding.

 

[marvlouslie]

It's not going away, they're rebranding.

They pushed to hard with it to start, so now they're going back to what they did with it in the late 90s and early 2000s. They're going to start subtly introducing this into more and more shit. At least when they pushed this fucking hard with it was out in the open and people avoided this shit like the plague on society that it is. Now that they're allegedly moving away from it, they have an opportunity to tune the language a bit and try a SOFTER approach so you'll be more accepting of it.

Be ever vigilant. Don't let these motherfuckers get away with it.

Some minor things have been censored. Otherwise, it's a shitty remastered port and you're better off with Anniversary instead.

Professional advice to Compulsion Games. Never hire racist DEI cunts like Katie that hates gamers.

Honestly, I still don't understand how these very ugly people (personality speaking in most cases) ever have a reaching voice in a company. It's really quite baffling to me.

Ugly sheboon is a sheboon, worshipped in the USA, pet of (((Blackrock))) and (((Vanguard))).

Reminds me of Leigh Alexander. Hated games, but worked in games journo and even admitted on video that she had no problems pushing an agenda.

They'll be the first ones to go trad if the pendulum ever swings back.

Also, it's weird how the most degenerate hateful people tend to have cutesy kid stuff as their banners or in their bios. "Look at my cute Pikachu! Now recognize I'm a bad bitch who's going to trans your kids and destroy your country from within! Yeah, gay fucking in your games!"

It all boils down to nepotism
