Im starting to feel like I hate video games.
I never thought Id say those words, but here we are!
The hobby Ive loved my whole life isbeing ruined by greedy decisions made by selfish people.
What layoffs?No, Im sorry.
Let me clarify: Im an idiot whos mad at everything in video gamesexceptthe layoffs!
For some reason, those dont bother me at all!
Thats a woman, so you cant even call me sexist because I can name at least one.
Assassin’s Creed Did What Now?!
The thing is, whats ruining games isnt corporate greed shutting down studios that hit every possible milestone.
No, I think the biggest problem in games right now - actually, maybe the world?
-is that the new Assassins Creed game is set in medieval Japanand has a Black character.
Your shock is the same as mine!
I clutched my pearls so tight they left little circles in my palm.
Yes, the character is a well-known historical figure whos had multiple portrayals in Japanese media.
Its a pure coincidence I chosejust this momentto bring up DEI!
And dont tell me that the other main character in the new Assassins Creed game is Japanese.
Because she is a non-cybernetic woman, which is almost as bad!
If anything, Im the calm one here.
I dont just give Elon Musk eight dollars a month because Im a sucker who needs a father figure.
Its the other people on social media who are mean.
They accuse me of being racist and being sexist.
Tell me how that makes sense!
Im sorry, you want to talk Creed?
No, Im already over that.
Theyve done more damage to the industry than any corporate executive ever could!
Now look at games!
Do we really needmoregames likeBaldurs Gate 3?
I just asked the guys and they told me were now mad at Trench Crusade.
Id never heard of it before yesterday, but hoo boy am I really mad at it now!
So imagine our excitement when we found a similar tabletop war game with overtly Catholic themes in Trench Crusade!
Finally: dinner is served!
It makes no sense to me!
Who is more intolerant in that situation?
If anything, the layoffs in the gaming industry are thefault of the woke pronoun police.
If a corporate executive has appeared on stage and talked about graphics, he is not woke.
Also, the word he is very important there.
Wait, No, It Was Stellar Blade Wasn’t It?
Thats why these companies are failing.
Its the deep personal grievances Ive had since finding out Im not humanitys protagonist.
Go woke and go broke.
In all honesty,Imthe person whos protecting gaming.
Im the one true video game player as designated by God.
Anyone who started before me is old and out of touch with reality.
If a successful game doesn’t guarantee job security, what’s left for companies to do?
