Guess they have to 'git gud'
Statistics prove you wrong, no matter how much you don't want to listen to them. You're behaving like Mr Skinner's meme from the simpsons "Am I out of touch??"
That game was doomed to fail since before a line of script was written.
Rage bait, cyber harassment campaigns, sending death threats and telling companies to go F themselves (like Nintendo) isn't explaining anything. It's just sending a message to companies to steer clear of certain demographics.
Most of those "fans" were never "fans." It becomes obvious when supposed fans of a franchise that had a black sidekick (Pierce), several female girlbosses (Shaundi, Kenzie), latinos (Carlos), a swishy cyberpunk hacker (Matt) and an Asian protagonist (Johnny Gat) start raging that the latest version was woke.
Audiences are voting with their wallets and woke games like Baldur's Gate 3 or Cyberpunk 2077 sell well and the upcoming Assassin's Creed Shadows also sold a lot of pre-orders already.
What I find interesting is that a few years ago, when gaming magazines would complain a game isn't "woke" enough, some people would very loudly cry "let the developers make the games they want to make" but now, a few years later, its the opposite, when developers make the games they want to make, there's some people who loudly cry "this is to woke"
Funny how things change over a few short years.
Ya, let these wack o's be the one's to make Video Games
for everyone on a New Engine... Unreal Engine 5,
because AI is required to make Video Games Today,
& it's the best thing to come into the Video Game World ever??
Ya, if these wack o's are behind the seat
of the Video Game Industry that is being
delivered to me?
I'm gonna have to pass... & I'll sit the Industry out,
& i'll go play Far Cry 5, as I watch more suckers
buy into this New ERA of Video Games...
Good Luck, Thanos...
PS:
Silent Hill that you are talking about,
is every bit of what & how these soo
supposed Gaming Studios are just
detached from reality that they have
absolutely no idea what they are doing,
& they are just parading over the use
of our Cultural Styled Video Games
as a scape goat for their failures,
because if their Games are failing
they can just blame it on our actual
Cultural Video Games, that People
are just not into that kind of Market
anymore, & not actually blame it on
their problems...
Which People are actually not interested
in that Market anymore, & that is true,
but what People don't want is for that
Market to Change or be ruined over
that Statement, & what People actually
want instead, is Newer Fresher ideas
which has good stories, & well likable
content with them, which these Studios
refuse to give & grant us...
So, yes, if these wack o's are behind
the Video Game Industry, I wouldn't
want any of them behind the Video
Games being sold to me out there,
I would rather sit out, & watch the
more New ERA get suckerd into
buying this type of Content from
these Studios, cause it's entirely funny...
There is sooo much disconnect here,
& i'll give you an example of it here...
Disney & Ryan Renalds are trying to
make gigantic money to try & save
the Marvel Name under Disney right
now, & Ryan Renalds is trying to make
the new Deadpool Movie the best that
he can make it, & they are working
hard to make it the best they can...
#1 Nobody asked for a kill the last
Decade of Marvel Characters in
a Marvel Movie...
#2 Disney Marvel is only making
giant Movies about killing the soo
supposed Marvel Industry, & that
is practically every Story that the
supposed Disney Execs are making,
& it's getting Old, & drying out the
Studio in a really, really bad way...
#3 People don't actually believe
that the Despool Movie will be
any good, & some even believe
that they are being decieved by
Ryan Renalds himself...
Some People think that the Movie
is actually just going to sunk the
ship with Disney Marvel, & Deadpool
is just gonna go down with it
Some are already specualating
the reason for Destroying the
entire Marvel Verse is to just
make the New Universe Woke,
to keep the Industry not making
any money from now on, due
to the fact that all big Names
are Names they don't want
in their Movies making any
more money, because their
excuses are that they cost
too much on pay roll, which
makes sense, but they also
sell Movies, & what Disney
isn't doing, is selling Movies,
soooo, Disney is really, really
detached from reality on this...
And as I said above, nobody
has asked for any of this,
& nobody wants a Deadpool
Kill Marvel Movie, & all this
supposed Planning to make
this a really good Deadpool
Movie, is just gonna be a
giant smack in the face for
Disney, cause they are pouring
tonz of money into thinking
it'll Save them, & it won't, ~_~
That is what I mean by an
Example, of how detached
the Industry of Movies, TV,
& Video Games are from
their Customers...
Nobody asked for a Silent Hill
ReMake, & nobody asked for
a Resident Evil Original Game...
We don't wanna buy Content
that we already own, & we
don't want them selling Content
to us that we are told is Original,
but instead have Political Agendas
behind them being released,
such as Resident Evil Original
not being the USA Release,
but being the Japan Release
instead, which was Censored,
& the American one was not...
These Studios are soooo up in
their little high minds that they
are detached from reality that
they don't have any audience...
They have no Market,
because their Market is alienating
everyone that buy's thier Content,
& it's deliberately being done to
manipulate the Woke into buying
their supposed lies & robberies,
of which they are just praying
on the loyalty here...
Yes, Today's Video Games are
deliberately targeting Woke,
because there is money in
robbing the Woke blind...
That is what these Studios
think they are only good at,
because well, they are failing
everywhere else...
They are soooo detached from the Customer
that the Customer just doesn't want their
Content Period...
As I said before, make friends with a Developer,
get to know them, & get your own Video Games
made, because your the only People who are
going to get the Video Games made that you
specifically want to Play in 2024, because this
Detachment Universe Industry just isn't up to
the Job anymore, & can't handle that task anymore...
Sooooo, we are the one's who gotta
do the Job, we are the one's who gotta
step up, & get it done...
Because, clearly the Video Game Industry
doesn't want to leave the fantasy land inside
thier heads to believe that we are right...
And no, i'm not attacking anyone when I say this,
all i've done is show where the problem lies in
Today's Industry, & how only we can resolve the
disconnect, because only we know what we want...
Good Luck...
This is the Internet. Some people just completely lack social skills and tact, and being behind a screen makes them feel empowered to say things they wouldn't tell someone face to face. There will always be empty death threats and meaningless anonymous harassment, and acknowledging it just gives these kids what they want. Most of us just filter it out. Report, block, ignore, and all that.
The problem is when they use the existence of this antisocial background noise as a way to dismiss actual critique, genuine concerns and argument. They don't want to have to defend any of their positions or honestly address any actual concerns, so they just point to the weird, edgy homeschool kid with absent parents and unrestricted Internet access sending death threats instead.

I'm going to try to explain myself one more time, because all you did was snip me out of context to double down on the same talking points.
Again: a decade ago, male gamers online were represented by the Angry Joes, Yogscasts, MinnesotaBurns and other guys who actually played games, went to gaming conventions and were hardware geeks. They were funny, witty, hilarious, seemed like cool guys you'd want to have a beer with.
Today, they're represented by ragebaiters, Gamer Gaters, Red Pillers, Incels and culture war hustlers on YouTube.
Talking about "dismissing actual critique, genuine concerns and arguments" is blindly refusing to accept the reality of the situation. No company's going to listen to the "actual critique, genuine concerns and arguments" of sane gamers if they have to worry about a sizable majority of the gaming community coordinating review bomb attacks, sending death threats, going on poison pen campaigns to sink a release before it's even released or rally everyone into pirating games. No one's going to listen to "actual critique, genuine concerns and arguments" when rage baiters and culture war hustlers recycle those exact "actual critique, genuine concerns and arguments" to pretend as if they're coming from a legitimate place.
Point is, you guys have an image problem, and because of it, you're being increasingly left out as a demographic. You're a business liability, both to companies and the people who work for them. Arguing with me and others isn't going to fix anything. Neither is creating the delusion that the problem isn't the gaming community; it's that the companies have to just focus on legit complainers when those legit complainers are outnumbered 10:1 on the internet by lunatic fringers.
So, I'll repeat: Grandmas playing 1 hour of games on their phone per week are not gamers. Popular statistics consider this type of person a "gamer". Which skews the statistic for what a gamer is.
And anyone that doubts me? Go to Twitch. Select any FPS game. Sort by highest viewership. Males.
Do women play games? Absolutely. But female gamers are rare. Because gamers play as a hobby or sport.
Most women do not obsess over sports or game competitions. Look at any audience for NFL, NHL, NBA, or MBL. It's almost entirely dudes. Because dudes like games.
Whatever happened to "vote with your wallet"?
People over the last many years, "vote" extremely questionably. Especially as far as interests go, either personal, or communal. Vote wrongly, pass the wrong message, enjoy the consequences and complications that ensue... It's just that simple.
Bottom line: "If you nag about something yet still you buy it, it is neither the product's fault nor the vendor's, but your very own lack of self restraint".
What modern audience? Mainstream? Worldwide? Chinese modern audience? French? American?
If we do not have any definitions, then its hard to debate.
