> It just seems like they have nobody there that knows what a good game is Because they hired the wrong people based on the wrong criteria. They don't hire gamers, they hire yes-men and activists[1] that agree with their own eco chamber and discriminatory political views[1]. They actually despise gamers and their goal is to "own the chuds" and hijack the medium to push their own toxic world views[1] and self inserts. And the out of touch execs tolerated this for a while during the ZIRP ERA because all stocks were going to the moon regardless, especially during covid. But now they finally got to see the output of those people they hired. >Hell, one of their flops, Redfall, apparently "reviewed well internally" Easy, they don't make games for gamers, they only make games for themselves full of self inserts. Except there's not many customers like them, so the game flops and mass layoffs happen or the studio gets shut down because that's the only way to get rid of the rot. Just look at the people at those studios today vs what idsoftware, bethesda, blizzards was like back in the days. Polar opposites. If you want to make successful games, you need to hire the chuds back. Indie studios are now where it's at. | ||
