While this is good, it is Square-Enix doing the right thing accidentally as collateral damage.
Their suits saw their failings as "I suppose people do not want games at all from our western branches" and they are winding almost all of it down, regardless of if it is DEI shit or not. I fully expect the SE suits to somehow fuck up the re-consolidation in Japan, it would be out of character for them to suddenly not be retards.

Oh, HAPPY FREAKIN' DAY! But why all the glee, you might ask? Well, let me tell you, morons – it's because of the colossal shitshow that is unfolding in the pitiful gaming industry! Thousands upon thousands are being given their walking papers. Talk about a mass culling of the herd!

Now, I know what you are thinking: "But wait, what about us? We NEED these journalists and developers to keep the industry alive!" Oh, my dear, delusional friend. The so-called "journalists" and "developers" have only been peddling biased hot takes, spreading misinformation, and engaging in personal attacks against gamers. Their clickbait-driven content has only served to further divide the community and degrade the quality of discourse in the gaming world.

You see, for far too long, game developers have been treating the gaming community with a lack of respect and transparency. They've been promising us the moon only to deliver subpar experiences filled with microtransactions and loot boxes. The gaming community will rise up and take control. We'll demand unfiltered, honest, and insightful gaming content that truly matters to the fans – and we won't settle for less.

Now, before I leave, let me leave a heartfelt message to those who have been let go:

"You're a pathetic, entitled, and arrogant bunch. Your cluelessness and disregard for the fans have tarnished the reputation of the gaming industry. It's high time for you to face the consequences of your own ignorance and arrogance. May history remember the "journalists" and "developers" who brought this industry to its knees."

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some popcorn to enjoy while watching the chaos unfold.

This is correct, after all these firings, they'll STILL continue including woke shit and modern-audience messaging in their games that will flop.

It would be funny to see them go under and it woud be fully deserved.
>>
>>726037027
Don't worry guys, they're gonna hire another set of DEI consultants to replace the last wave. Now we're truly saved
>>
>>726037441
They already fucked up by having DEI shit in their biggest releases. Their games take years to come out so any games with no DEI shit might come out in 3-4 years. Like all the shit they did with Tifa's tifas, the Dragon Quest censorship, that was all decided years ago and you can't just go back and change things unless you drop a huge update to the games.
>>
>>726037694
>>726038132
They fell for the free Blackrock money scam because SE, Capcom, Sega, etc are controller by incompetent people and outside investors unlike Nitnendo. In Nintendo's case it was having incompetent people like Reggie running Treehouse and that shit spilling over to the Japanese devs.

Ok, like, cool. Remake part 3 will still stuck and FFXIV will continue to be a troonfest in both story and community. Dragon Quest character designs will continue to be censored. None of that will change.

Maybe they shouldn't fire the HR ladies, the problem probably is with the upper management who simply doesn't know what people want.
People like Final Fantasy being turn based. They like RPG aspects. Some of them even stomach the shitty japanese style of writing

too little too late, square enix has squandered all the goodwill they've built as squaresoft by releasing one shitty game after the next ever since seventh gen and capt-stoning their downfall with FF7R, the worst remake of all time of their most iconic game followed by probably the worst mainline entry in the franchise ever with 16.

I'd be more excited about this if there was any hope of them releasing decent games in future, but as it is they'll still be garbage, just slightly less garbage in this specific way.

I'm aware. It's why I called him out. The DEI infestation of all media is also backed by them. The decay and dissolution of all western strength and mongrelization of humanity too is their fault, along with the population decline of those countries that followed. Read the declassified documents by Henry Kissinger, the Kissinger Report, about the World Population Control plan where he outlines what steps to take exactly to ensure that women stop having children. It was said to only be applied to countries where rapid population growth was a problem, but in reality, those countries had not been touched at all and instead all this was only forced on the west, to replace their native populace with foreign invaders.

Which has been their MO for centuries. The Inquisition was a response to kikes letting in muslims by opening the Gates of Toledo.
