It's been beyond saving a decade ago already.

All we can really do is save ourselves from it.

The gaming industry isn't beyond saving, but it is in a pathetic state, has been for years. It's got nothing to do with "DEI" though, but rather everything to do with AAA companies pushing out [mostly] garbage titles, with a heavy focus on microtransactions, day one DLC, season passes and an absurdly high purchasing cost.

The amount of money they're trying to squeeze out of us isn't equalled by a quality title that we feel justifies the money we're spending, they're just crap. CoD, BF, Assassin's Creed, etc are all just rehashes of crap.

Our only hope lies in enough Indie devs making quality titles that draws players away from AAA garbage to the point that the AAA companies change their practices and become more in touch with what players want.

Why? There's no shortage of good western games once you start looking beyond mainstream games.

If you haven't noticed gaming has gone mainstream. This has led political activists and feminists to want to spread their ideology.

I haven't noticed it, you're correct. I don't care about games like "Suicide Squad", "Concord", the annual sports games from EA... But I have a very full library and wishlist of games with none of those problems.

I thought indy devs didn't count in this, usually we mean AAA games.

They don't matter to me. I'm a terrible coward when it comes to horror games, I'd be squealing like a frightened teenage lass if I had to play a RE game. Besides, isn't Resident Evil a CAPCOM game, you know, a JAPANESE company? Why are we discussing it?

They're Japanese, but Western games journalists are now telling them they can't make the zombies black because of DEI. That's the problem.

And since when do journalists (or anybody else) get to tell game developers how to make their games? Neither journalists nor players should meddle into others' process of creation.

Apparently the Western games journalists have been criticizing Asian developers for a while. That's why gamers hate the mainstream journalists.

None of that matters anyway, because "DEI" isn't what's killing the gaming industry
