why is this game DOA?

[Geek Ultra]

hows the quality of gameplay, music, graphics, etc?

perception of D.E.I regardless of if its true or not

If the MC is hot and sexy asian chick I would probably buy and try the game, shame it don’t

People despise companies like SBI.

Gameplay wise, not a clue. I was sent a link and the game was called a "dumpster fire" with "SBI cherry on top".

true but thats only a part of it. They said the same thing about Banishers. But compare that to Steelrising. They both have the same amount of reviews but the anti-dei crowd didnt really exist when that came out. Then look at BG3, one of the gayest games around. If the game/film/movie etc does well the amount of wokespotting content about it dies down. They only stick with the ones that can be perceived as victories. Or even claim victory after the failure happens like Suicide Squad.

The real reason is because AA games are rarely very successful and honestly its sad that people are going out of their way to destroy them so we are left with CoD 27

SBI was confirmed to work on the project. its real. protag also changed from white male to black female. that doesnt bother me personally. its SBI involvement thats a no go for me.

as a white guy, i fear me controlling what a black woman does could be seen as some form of modern day slavery

the MC thing is just repeating rumors from one anonymous source. if its true, you dont know why they changed it. or if that reason was dei. you just connecting that sbi did SOMETHING on the game, therefore you connect it with dei. thats perception.

I mean Flintlock hired SBI, it's fact. Has nothing to do with true or not lol. They stated they removed everything SBI related, THAT is "true or not".

SBI literally does DEI, that's what they do. What are you even talking about ?

Its true, and I dont care much about DEI except it tends to make for a terrible game, I guess its what happens when you focus on identity politics instead of story/gameplay. I do know its flopping hard. So probably deserved.

[Geek Ultra]

can someone please explain why gaming devs/companies continue to work with SBI if there is a clear trend of flop/downfall for SBI-ed games?

if i showed you Sable, could you point at when the "DEI" is? what about it is "DEI"? you would say "oh well Sweet Baby worked on it". Oh, ok. Well what was changed that made it "DEI"? What would you say? Its like "DEI" because SBI. What if they just reviewed the script, said "well done, no changes"., Is in "DEI". Get it now? Just drop your perceptions (ehhhhh) and then think about it again. its very effective as a learning tool.

btw, how is the "ethics in gaming journalism" crowd repeating the claim that A44 said they removed everything from SBI. i mean no, they didnt say that. An anonymous source claimed that. prove me wrong, please.

Who here claimed to be from the "ethics in gaming journalism" crowd ? Are you making that up to go with your nonsensical argument ?

I don't care whether they said it or didn't. SBI = no buy. I'm sorry you can't handle that.

I don't know if I could show you where the DEI is in Sable because it looked like an insanely mediocre game and I never played it. Is SBI involved in Sable ? Because if so I won't bother purchasing it even at 95% discount.

Flintlock's crew didn't HAVE to hire the CEO of SBI, but they decided to and now we decide with our wallets whether we're cool with that or not.

Listen, I know you love backwards Liberal ideology, but most of us don't and we won't buy games from companies that hire groups who are exclusively concerned with adding things we dislike. The sooner you figure that out the better it will be for you.
If you ever grow an ideology of DEI that has actual depth and isn't 40 years in the past, let us know.

SO many games release that yes, we can decide to completely ignore supporting a game that decides to hire/implement the things we hate.

European inspired theme - main character is black woman who doesn't fit that theme at all.

sorry, you are a youngin. maybe you dont know that gamergate 1.0 was supposed to be about ethics in gaming journalism and this anti dei phrase is called gamergate 2.0. what they are actually about is up to you, yep..your perception.

i dont care if you buy it or not. im saying your argument made no sense. "SBI = no buy. " ok, great. but you were saying, "its DEI because SBI worked on it. i cant point to anything tangible. just SBI is DEI so anything they touch is DEI even if i cant point to what makes it DEI. Even if they changed nothing its now DEI" apparently this is logically sound
