>>740317703
>>740318321no they haven't.each of these games where the previous MC got replaced has NOT had a sequel yet.Each of these new MCs are the LATEST installment.There have been no installments since.
>>740317703Shit taste.Good games don't have this problem.
Those devs found out that i love women and i love playing as girls in video games and are now pandering to me. This makes me very happy and i am buying all of those games.
if people stop buying them, they'll stop making them
>>740317784i loved Uncharted pajeeta. Also she was in a DLC, didn't REPLACE Nathan. OP is gay btw
>>740318954not unless they're state funded (stolen tax money) propaganda
>>740317703>there is no agenda
>>740318891Ellie has sex with black men
>>740319010Good morning saaaar
>>740318819>There have been no installments since.Bro uncharted is old as fuckreplacing the MCs literally killed the series.
>>740318819>implying we will get another TLOU with Joel when he's dead, in fact their new franchise is Intergalactic, female lead.>implying we will get another GOW with Kratos besides the remakes>implying we will get another Uncharted with Drake when he's retired and the idea in 4 was to have his daughter follow>implying we will get another Ghost with Jin when Yotei flopped>implying we will get another TW with Geralt when he's retired and the idea is for Ciri to followAll those male leads are done.
>>740319053STOP NOTICING CHUD
>zoomers are now complaining that the woke reboots of old franchises are now wokedid you retarded child-raping faggots suddenly get standards or?
>>740319214don't worry i play for the other team too.pay me enough and I'll say death to all jeets.

blackrockorders from mr finky himself
>>740319364>Manjaw jeeta that 200% smells like shitGrim
>>740317703You're upset that women get one game (or a DLC) after the men get several? Even if this image represented all video games in existence, the balance isn't even 50-50 yet.
Managers steering the sinking ship into the abyss in hopes of milking it a few years and iterations longer
>>740320045why would i be upset? im just not gonna buy it and enjoy watching the layoff announcements lol
>>740320309>layoffsI wouldn't bet on that.Santa Monica's games have been all pretty profitable.
>>740317703Feminists who hate men having their own spaces and somehow think they can get women into violent action games if they just gave players a femc. It never works and these games are still mostly played by "men" and generally underperform, even if not always flop.
You really want the same old characters dragged out and milked over and over forever?
>>740320309If you weren't upset you would buy it, but instead you're complaining.
>>740320604>star wars has always been profitable>i wouldn't bet on it flopping in the future>>740321037all the things i don't buy are because they are not interesting, not because im upset at them
>>740317703jews
>>740318485tranny meme
>>740317703All those franchises suck
>>740317703Larry Fink and George Soros
>>740321225I don't see threads about all the things you don't buy, but I see a lot of threads about a handful of particular ones, and you're in them talking loudly about not buying them, and about the losses you hope to cause people that way. I dunno, man, just doesn't sound like non-upset behaviour.
>>740317703(YOU) the faggots that say - i look at woman character butt its not gay, its better to stare at woman ass than at mans... You caused this, you convinced the publishers that its okay to make a female mc because you will play as her, you create female characters in rpg, you post webms with asses. Feminists existed always but you, you gave them the power and now you reap what you sow.p.s. its still and always will be gay to play as a woman.
>>740319053aloy being lesbian is a choice, chloe isn't a lesbian and neither is the yotei one
>>740321906>I don't see threads about all the things you don't buysounds like a you problem
>>740317703I'M SPEAKING

>>740317703I mean... women exist
>>740317703> What caused this phenomenon?Sometimes it's actually just the creators (new or old) making fiction without any compliance to audiences. Other times, it's out of compliance to activism. If I was able to choose the battles of online discourse, I would only focus on opposing the latter. The easiest battles should be fought for victory, and unrestricted fiction is worth fighting for.Actvists aim to restrict fiction to realistic, progressive (and sometimes horsehoe theory'd into puritan) expressions only.Regarding their aim of realistic & progressive, Microsoft's developer guidelines are exactly this. If there's any confusion on what is intended by activists, see [1]. Microsoft, compliant to unsustainable activists, promotes self-restriction of fiction to make it more realistic & progressive.Creators comply either because they're pressured, or they agree that fiction must be restricted to realism & progressive ideals. This is antithetical to fiction as a medium.Then, platform restrictions - like Sony's which applied the standards of the nonfictional #MeToo movement to restrict the fictional expressions of video games[2] - ensure that noncompliant fiction is censored or banned. Every platform (Apple, Google, PlayStation, Nintendo, Xbox, and Steam) has restrictions that have caused censorship, and often it's regarding fictional females & fictional sexual expressions.[1] Image attached is a partial snippet.

>>740324209I went to the shop today but it would be easier to tell you what I did buy rather than what I didn'tIn fact why would I talk about things I didn't buy because they didn't interest meNow if someone were talking specifically about how they refused to buy meat and never buy meat and in fact they constantly talk about not buying meat, that's more than a lack of interest, you see
