    I think what truly boggles my mind is how investors seem to not be able to understand their audience or learn from experience. Gamers don't like DEI, they don't like it when DEI is used as a selling point and used as an excuse for a lack of compelling gameplay, and when such game is smacked with a high price tag.
    For those who are not aware of what I'm talking about. AAA games get funding from major investment groups but most major investment groups will only provide funding if it includes aspects of DEI(stands for Diversity, Equity, Inclusion). That may seem like a good thing on first glance but really it isn't. This usually means that diversity is seen as a quota and must be forced into the game even if it feels artificial and disingenuous(rather than seeing what the story requires and build upon that). Also in this certain groups of people are seen as problematic or less such as men and white people.

      I think they know 90% of these clone games will fail, but to them the chance of getting to the top few is worth the risk, as if they make it up there they'll be making tens of millions in profit, it's simply calculated risk, big risk 😅 and sadly, the risk of people's jobs

    • @Sammy-qx5mx
      @Sammy-qx5mx Місяць тому

      Don't forget that characters that appeal to straight men IE: hot/attractive women are almost always removed in order to meet DEI standards. However hot/attractive men IE: (safe horny) are fine so long as they aren't also white and/or straight.

      @@Nadestraight I believe that's the case but it feels like their logic is a bit flawed considering they probably have better chances hitting it big with mobile games(which don't cost as much as "AAA" game) or at least doing what has been proven to work but with a slight bit of a twist(to at least stand out to games in the same genre).
      Also its kind of been proven time and time again that DEI stuff in games has had a near universally negative response from the audience so why willingly fight an uphill battle? They could still have the cookie-cutter character design without the unnecessary challenge.

    Honestly, I want shooter games to be paid products again. Mainly because they didn’t have nearly as bad monetization practices. This process not only allows them to make more money off of more and more predatory microtransactions but lets them get *defended* for doing it. I despise it. I am confident that if people make a genuinely good shooter game, with engaging gameplay (so actually innovating, not this), no huge microtransactions and make good cosmetics that are earnable in-game. The people will come.

      For some games people would, like Helldivers 2 is a great example, but for a PvP shooter, we're past the point of return now. Subscription models aren't just a gaming thing, they're an entertainment and leisure industry thing. Amazon Prime, Netflix, Hulu, UA-cam Premium, Disney, DAZN Boxing, Spotify, UberEats and hundreds more.

      @@Nadestraight That is indeed true, a lot of things are subscription services, and because of that piracy is at an all-time high. Subscription services are indeed spreading because they are extremely profitable, but that does not make them the only option for success. I attribute that to greed of larger companies. (I am no “down with company” person. Just disappointed with the AAA industry and business model as a whole, causing many people to go to older games/indies, and people are noticing.) I believe it *can* be done, given it being a mix of PvE and PvP content. At least my idea is. I understand realism is required, but if things stay the same, the first descendant will simply be a predecessor of many predatory games like it. I don’t want that, and I’m going to do everything I can to prevent it.
