I've been thinking about marketing in the video games industry and how much of a clusterfuck it must be these days because of literal communist furry pedophiles. Outside of places like imageboards and the steam community forums, I'm not sure if there's a place on the internet that hasn't been tainted by administration that's mainly ruled by the big three: Discord, Twitter and Reddit. These platforms are the biggest players in terms of gaming social media yet if you look at the sales numbers of something like Dustborn, the market usually goes in the opposite of what they say. The mobile market is thriving as a result of AVOIDING the usual twitter prudes to the fact that they're calling local politicians in order these mobile companies to cave into said demands. Yet the traditional games market while successful is plagued with issues such as censorship, poor localization, bad monetization, among other issues. You would think that by looking at Twitter that a lot of these new and original games should be selling over a million units, however most of these games like Forespoken and Tales of Kenzera usually bomb in the market despite catering to these western trends. Stellar Blade, Palworld and Wukong on the other hand have sold millions of units, and yet we STILL have a traditional gaming market that looks on Twitter, Reddit and Discord and thinks that the industry wants more censorship and ESG pandering in spite of the actual sales numbers telling these companies that "trendy trannies shouldn't be the direction of the market" yet we're still dealing with companies like Microsoft, SEGA, Capcom, Sony, Nintendo, etc. treating these people with priority treatment because they agree with the corporate hivemind. Not only that, but people who disagree with said hivemind are cast out as undesirables and are usually gatekept by HR and other corporate interests groups. I wouldn't be surprised if some of the people within these companies are inflating the Twitter and Reddit numbers in order to keep them from marketing towards the proper demographic. You want to know what the worst part about all this is? By discussing the topics at hand and communicating with each other in a public online ecosystem, we're basically giving out millions of dollars worth of FREE market research, not to mention the YouTube grifters like Kabrutus and EndymionTv who basically got famous by copying ideas and posts made in the GamerGate thread. You literally have people PAYING YOU money just to listen to us, but instead you get offended by the idea just because you have to deal with El Macaco saying "We must kill niggers and faggots" despite no one actually taking him seriously. In any case, I would like to discuss the current landscape of the video game community and how it's completely fucked over by the main communication platforms being completely assfucked by leftists and how the people supposedly doing market research can't see the wider picture despite being paid millions of dollars to just sit on their ass and delete angry Mexicans larping as white people.
