This isn’t gamergate. This is just the results of a stupid reactionary country with no restriction on play time. If your parents told you communism no money, what happens when you get less in game money? Communism. What’s funny is that they’re protesting fictional wages while accepting the free child labor being used by the studios

Smells like a mixture of stupidity and capitalist grooming to me.

Roblox is all kinds of fucked up child labour bullshit. I really worry about gen alpha. They are being conditioned to accept the most dystopian shit.

I wonder how much of this type of thing is astroterfed by feds?

I feel like gamergate left a permanent stain on the gaming community as a whole. I wasn't really online enough to have followed gamergate all that closely when it was happening, but in the aftermath it always felt like it only ever cooled down to the point where the sentiments were boiling just below the surface.

Now, at a time when reactionary forces are constantly bombarding people crying about how wokeness is destroying America gamers are falling for the propaganda. They're mad at the games industry for all the wrong reasons. I wouldn't be shocked if some of the people within studios are the ones that help stir this shit up. Like wasn't the person that created the Stellar Blade petition some sexpest formerly from Bethesda or something like that? Of course the long term effects are the creation of a new generation of reactionaries and its sad to see.

Recent highly visible gamer moves have included review bombing Helldivers

That was unironically cool and good though. Fuck Sony for being scummy.

The Roblox one reads like a psyop. Smells the same as the Animal Crossing "protests" that were performed to attack China over Hong Kong.

I can specifically imagine people in a meeting room discussing around a table where they can find kids early on in order to target them with anti-communism before the communists get to them. Inoculation is a major aspect of western anti-communist strategy, they aim to make people close their minds to it before they encounter it, same shit with the "tankie" campaign.

screaming about not being able to see both labia t the same time in Stellar Blade,

As described, this sounds like whining that pure seniority and investment is trumped by actually being good at the game, truly idiotic to conflate with "communism" even in the already idiotic minds of the average gamer.

And also even dumber than that, this literally is objectively good for the players of the game, removing arbitrary time gating from higher reward tiers would give you more freedom as a player to try other things, or just play other games aside from this.

Why is there wage labor in a video game? What is roblox about?

yeah these latest gaming controversies seem even more pathetic than gamergate. Real bottom of the barrel stuff

They're literally babies. These are actualy babies lmao.

Games that are woke that didn't go broke so a good portion of it is a campaign to make them "go broke" to keep the slogan alive. If the anti woke campaign didn't work, then they start going after other wedge issues like Discord drama and attacking individual members of the studios in an attempt to "cancel" them.

At least that is what I've infered from the Helldivers bull. Now SONY and geopolitics are one thing, but the geopolitics actual reason conflicts with support of anti-woke policies and politicians so it gets dimissed because both chuds and liberals tactically agree on hawkish foriegn policy. Same reason chuds and liberals never want to discuss foreign policy when the border topic gets brought up.

It's a stink tank way of reaching the under 40's.

Steve Bannon is still out there and I believe him, Peter Thiel's pool of dark money explicity earmarked for funding far right culture war stuff, and others are still/always trying to kick off Gamergate part 2.
