Extremely telling of his values that the thing he’s placed the highest premium on is “saving money.”

You see them do this with videogames all the time.

They obsess over sales numbers and steam chart numbers for specific games yet ignore it when other games go under.

It's always the "woke" stuff innit.

Yesterday I was told bluntly that AC Shadows had a budget of $300m and Concord had a budget of $900m. That's 5x the budget of a typical Ubisoft sandbox, and the most expensive video game ever respectively. His source? A chud streamer named Asmongold.

If a video game they've decided has to be a flop because 'woke', they will literally just invent ludicrous figures and go "aha! they didn't make their money back!"

The fact that anyone listens to Asmongold, a man who lives in his own filth will never not be wild to me

Wasn't Shadows supposed to be all woke too and it's doing really well? Seems it's not being woke that's the problem.

It's woke because you play as a black guy, I think. 'DEI' protagonist. Whatever.

The reviews are middling but the sales are strong. Ubisoft reckons its being beaten only by the smash hit which was peak-pandemic Valhalla.

Easy enough to say that it's not a massive critical success (because woke) but since the whole argument was "it's going to FLOP (because woke)" they have to just invent numbers out of thin air to prove it's a commercial failure (because woke).

It's so funny to me, how every conservative suddenly turns into a historian to explain why a black guy and a woman can't be the protagonists.

Which is even funnier because if they bothered to read anything at all, Yasuke was an actual, real life black samurai. Who came from Africa as a Jesuit missionary and then trained and served under Nobunaga in the 16th century.

And you'd think they'd like a ninja girl to play as. At some point it just turns into contrarianism.

I remember when Vara Dark tried to shit on Spider Man 2 having like what, 25k players on steam?

She also didn't bother to mention how The First Descendents, a live service game that is WAAAAAAAAAAY more reliant on a decent playerbase in order to be profitable, had around the same amount, if not, less.
