If you inject politics into gaming, don't be surprised if people disagree with you.
I'd prefer if we did without myself, but, those are the ropes.

We have people pledging to not buy the last night, not because it looks bad, but because Zoe Quinn got mad just in time for her "memoirs" to come out.Worgen said:
We also have an Ubisoft employee advocating pirating the game.
Like you said, pretty stupid.
It's not remotely the same thing, it's disgusting to make unwarranted Hitler comparison's, invoking Godwin's law constantly for no reason just makes you look ignorant as fuck.gigastar said:
To me anyone that uses that term unironically is a person that is not worth taking remotely seriously, same with people that use other stupid terms like "white knight", "SJW" "identity politics", "cultural marxism", "snowflake", "professional victim", "virtue signalling", "cuck" "kek" etc(also a special mention for ableist fuckheads who use "retarded" and "autistic" as insults).
Complainers in general are getting louder. The general public is just dissatisfied with everything, in general even imo with good reason.
Also, gotta say that every 'side' is shit. This began way earlier as well, around 2010 or so. When became tumblr. 'popular'?
@darkrage6: Can't take you seriously because of your name. Sorry.

You can't "inject politics" into media when ALL media has politics to begin with, it's just a way of life, deal with it. Also i'll bet you wouldn't care if it was politics you agreed with, sorry if the mere existence of LGBTQ people and minorities offends you.The Lunatic said:
At all, thus why I said that in my original post.Smithnikov said:
If both sides could stop pretending that a game set in a fantastical version of events where Germany wins WW2 and conquers America via the use of magical super weapons, giant mechanised dogs and so on has any overlap with any real world politics, we'd all be better for it.
Looks like someone's gonna lose their job at Ubisoft soon.anthony87 said:We have people pledging to not buy the last night, not because it looks bad, but because Zoe Quinn got mad just in time for her "memoirs" to come out.Worgen said:

1. The internet make you stupid.
2. Social media makes it easier for people to say whatever jerkoff comment they want without any care that it might be false, prejudiced,in bad taste, missing the point, fucking stupid.
3. "Gamers" by and large put too much stock into something that at the end of the day a hobby (They are certainly not alone in that regard.)
4. Some "gamers" don't like that their hobby is getting more popular and they feel like they alone "own" it and feel that people are destroying it.
5. People put too much ownership into things they don't even own.

Please. There's a difference between depicting politics and exploring them on the one hand, and producing hamfisted propaganda on the other. And then there is the establishment of a goddamn Committee of Censors to determine which kind of hamfisted propaganda should be allowed in games, as appears to be the noble aim of the comrades working in Games Journolisting [sic].Smithnikov said:
Sadly, the "critical" opinion monopoly is highly influential on the corporate level of "gaming culture". This is because the pseudo-intellectual pop bigotry the bloggers spout is highly suited for the collectivization of consumerism that is the hot fad in the culture and communications industries, as you can see by the intensive marketing of "communities" corralling the customers into "fandoms" and such. That's what "inclusiveness" means, establishing a lowest common denominator to target for the whole range of socio-ludic services. It's a road to a stale blandout.
Some of us believe a market condition free of relentless social pressure towards ideological orthodoxy is much more conducive to the production of richly varied and stimulating popular culture. Simple as that.
I'll tell you who's getting stupider:
Everybody has to "fight" for something these days, I guess.

I'd be very surprised if he didn't. These guys need to learn how to keep their mouths shut.RaikuFA said:
I'll defend virtue signalling. Half the time when I go to a rummage sale, I'm looking at pristine copies of Left Behind books that were bought in the 90's for the purpose of exuding Christian-ness from their spines. They were not bought to be read for appreciation or understanding, but to signal the virtue of the owners to their fellows. Two decades on, they're being discarded for to make room for newer displays. The owner might never do a single actually Christian thing in their lives, but they engage in a dance of false Christian-ness with their friends with the unspoken agreement that no none calls anyone else out on the abject hollowness of it all. Virtue signalling is an elegant way of describing the meaningless displays of piety that make up this dance.darkrage6 said:
So tell me, what is the political meaning behind Super Mario or Spongebob Squarepants? Not everything has to have some political meaning or statement behind it, even in subtext. The very notion is just insane on the face of it.DaCosta said:
