So who exactly is this "modern gaming audience"?

[NicoMakiOTP]

Or rather, who did the devs think they are?

Some mythical audience out there, basically tumbler or twitter before Elon purchased it, that if they just drive out the existing audience of every successful franchise that they'll be replaced by an even better audience.

Sure, there's no actual evidence this audience even exists but surely some day they will find it. If not through this broken game or that destroyed IP then surely the next one. Or the one after that.

" modern gaming audience" they just support putting DEI and Woke elements into games
But didn't say they would buy it or play it

Believe it or not, but their thinking is actually stupider than that. What they believe is that they can do whatever they want to a property because your Average Joe is going to buy it anyway because he's a well trained dog and "What else?" is he actually going to spend his time/money on.

Modern audiences don't play video games, they just post about them and how they lack X.

While insisting that what they are making isn't meant for the existing audience the IP already had, and then have a shocked pikachu face when they find out that the people they told it wasn't for never showed up.

DEI freaks read the "50% of gamers are women" line and take it at face value. What they fail to realize is that most actual gamers (one that would be interested in a game that isn't match three mobile slop) is overwhelmingly White or Chinese, loves big tits, and doesn't want to play an ugly lady that looks like a gorilla.

If you want an even bigger laugh, this think isn't anything new.

Up to 1974, NBC was the BIGGEST TV network in America. Since then, the network has been the worst. What happened? Herb Schlosser became president of the station and pushed through several "new" philosophies on how TV shows should be developed. One of which was that people don't "watch" TV because they actually enjoy what they're watching, they watch TV just to watch TV. The idea is that you could throw anything on the boobtube and people will watch it just because since they're absolutely not going to do anything else with that time.

When asked to explain his actions, Schlosser's response was to point to the increased viewership ratings on CBS and ABC and declare that this theory was proven "correct" since people didn't "stop" watching TV and just switch to a different station.

Now that's funny.

I dont under stand why people almost always only mentioning Millennials, GenZ/Zoomer, but forgetting us GenX?

Because people hate your generation and place it as directly responsible for all the problems that we experience today and have to suffer through.

The sad thing about this game failing is publishers will have to mine their ESG points from established franchises again. They can't create anything new that will succeed with this DEI nonsense so they will continue to turn the franchises we love into woke skinsuits.
