Why did they try so hard to push unattractive video game characters, only for the idea to be completely rejected by the consumer?

She wasn't really popular and it was still only porn addicts who cared about her game and shouted it to feminists when they said "There's no games with strong women" so you like insecure little losers went "WHAT ABOUT LARAA HUHHH?!!? US GAMERS AR HUGE MALE FEMINISTS!!"

because there is this thing called Diversity/Equity/Inclusion (DEI) where the likes of Blackrock would give bonuses to companies pushing diversity and leftie agendas. It was free money and it pumped their stocks, so everyone was all in on it till sales started suffering so much the DEI bonuses were not worth it.
>>
>>729093224
Because their objective was never to target the consumer, to generate sales. It was always to push some sort of weird, cryptic agenda.

This isn't even a secret, even youtube commenters are aware of this sort of thing. When the lowest of low room iq temperature users can tell that developers are being disingenuous you know something is up

A character doesn't need to be popular to be pushed around by certain groups like feminists or big nosed people.

Because the corpo execs dont know what they're doing and were inforemd by their researchers/data collectors (That also dont know what they're doing) that it was a "sure thing".

It can be quite easily answered with a
>Nobody knew what they were doing, all the way to the top of the chain of the command

It has always been this way. The industry is ridiculously young all things considered, even today. Devs/publishers are just stumbling around the dark, bumping into the occasional lightning in a bottle game, all the while claiming that they know what they're doing.

Wow almost like they've been doing it for decades and you just were an underage retard and not "politicaly radicalized" by frog memes to realize.

If Half Life 2 was released nowadays you'd be having a meltdown about the black scientist forcing a feminist girl boss mutt side kick on your side AND there's a white woman thirsting over the black scientist BBC the entire game.

Games have always been woke. Fallout 2 from 1998 was the first game to have fucking gay marriage. That's almost 30 years ago.
And the cherry on the cake is that vidya will keep being woke but now as degeneracy and porn addiction keeps being more normalized, you're gonna have DEI woke shit everywhere but with some porn thrown around to distract losers like you, like BG3 and E33 did.

Because they thought they could change people's political opinions, racism, misogyny etc through exposure, and they considered it a good thing that people they don't agree with politically weren't consuming their products. They seem to be realizing that putting gay brown trannies in their products probably played a huge part in Trump winning and that their strategy at the end of the day made no sense.

Baldur's Gate 2 from fucking 2000s had a character "punished for their misogyny by being turned into a woman" and by the end he enjoys having become a woman lmao. It's peak agp transexual porn addict fantasy but i wouldn't expect a loser like you to know about pre 2020 games.

How in your face was that stuff though? Like Dragon Age the Veilguard has multiple 5-10min scenes talking about gender pronouns, zero subtlety.....when that gay marriage happens in Fallout 2 how much do they focus on it? How important is it for the characters or story? Legit asking because Ive never played the game

Games like Baldurs Gate 3 are woke af but nobody cares because the game is good and even when it comes up its not overly focused on, you can bang either gender without actually talking about your sexually in that game....everyone wants to bang the player character. No one mentions their orientation or identity.....they just bang. I actually don't think the word gender comes up a single time in Baldur's Gate 3. In Vielguard they literally don't shut up about it lol.

Ive said for a long time that the "woke" isn't the problem, its the activist pretending to be writers that are. They don't know how to write dialog, all they can do is self insert and preach. Even if they made a game with all straight white men it would still be trash because they just aren't talented. Maybe games have always been woke but the older gens writers were just better at creating characters and immersive worlds?
When I listen to BG3 characters speak I feel like the character is speaking, when Veilgaurd characters speak I feel like the writer is trying to lecture me

>Legit asking because Ive never played the game

You haven't played neither Fallout 2 nor Veilguard so i don't know why you're talking about either. I played both and i can tell you, both content is optional. No, Taash "i am non binary" talk with her mother doesn't happen unless you continuously go into her room and do her side quests. In the same character the gay marriage doesn't happen if you don't play a male character, go to the farm and have sex with the gay farmboy.

>Games like Baldurs Gate 3 are woke af but nobody cares because the game is good

No, not really. It's not good, you guys just like it becuase it's a dating sim FULL of porn to the point even before release they were showing concept art porn of all the sexscenes in game.

>No one mentions their orientation or identity.....they just bang.

Right. Shadowheart best friend being trans. Entire act 2 revolving around reuniting two dykes. The drag queen in the circus, etc.
And it's funny actual LGBT content doesn't bother you so long as there's no visible pride flag.

>Ive said for a long time that the "woke" isn't the problem

Honk honk. You should try playing videogames instead of being a loser porn addict with no beliefs other than masturbation.

Corporate execs are notoriously out of touch. They are pathologically risk-averse and susceptible to anyone who tells them what to do as long as it's framed as business consulting. There's a billion-dollar industry centered around telling CEOs their company's stock will plummet if they don't kowtow to this or that political messaging paradigm, citing themselves as evidence the whole time.

You can smite every degen in the game into a bloody smear. The game not only allows this, it has recorded dialogue to acknowledge it. That's the difference between a good RPG like BG3 which emphasizes roleplaying freedom by legitimizing every choice the player makes, and a shitty vehicle for liberal messaging like Veilguard claiming to be an RPG while it forces your character to nod their head and smile as they listen to woke insanity.

You literally can't lmao the dyke angel in act 2 is ONLY killable by Shadowheart and that makes Shadowheart evil.

I killed Shadowheart at the beginning of the game so there's literlaly nothing i can do against the dyke.

No idea why you would come to lie to 4chan, maybe you're coping trying to pretend your garbage dating sim porn game is "based"?

>>729093224
Anyone that's had a girlfriend has experienced a moment where you criticize something that features a hot chick in it and your girlfriend will never highlight the positives, even if it's just some series slop you usually enjoy. This mentality is especially strong if there's anything involving being around a real hot female. Now imagine this same mentality, but in the workplace where people are trying to produce an appealing product and the females who work there are given influence.

The mentality used to be a lot different.
