The more Western gaming marketing executive cokeheads from Xbox and Playstation fan the flames of culture wars, the stronger Nintendo becomes.

You might as well stop producing hardware by the time the Switch 2 rolls out.

How it's going in mushroom kingdom? Still delusional?

That Black Rock funding credit and the "we’ll praise your product if you’re part of our crew" club are still around.

But the real issue is that a lack of audience is like planting a cornfield without water or sunlight, no amount of money or good vibes can replace the conditions needed for profits to grow.

Yup. This stuff will always be around. Just comes down to how much it thins out.

When even McDonalds has admitted scaling back DEI (a company that will hire anyone, has locations in practically every country and neighbourhood and possibly serve the most customers on Earth every year), you know DEI is crumbling.

I think we’re already in the twilight of this, my question is whether they’ve come up with some other nonsense to take its place.

Nice. I don't want to misgender you, but exactly what spectrum of obese virgin do you identify with?

I am a fat ass so you got me on that one but I get plenty of pussy.

A man is a man and a womah is a woman. I identify with common sense.

It always amazes me how much this wokish stuff can crumble companies when all you got to do if you got some good products going is just be chill and dont do anything stupid. You can take whatever foundational success you got and build on it. Not do a 180. But gaming and media are those kinds of companies where they are willing to wipe the slate clean because some people have a new vision like their idea is the next Thomas Edison braniac idea.

I've been at my company for over 10 years, company does great, growing, rock solid bonuses, and has very limited DEI-ish kind of stuff. We dont even change the company logo to rainbow during pride month. All we get is some canned code of conduct HR stuff to do every once in a while online (involving tons of topics like bribery, privacy and discrimination) and the CEO will send out some ethnic holiday memos to the company (US based based stuff, since it;'s obvious he knows nothing about any other holidays around the world). And that's kind of it. So when I see those American focused memos come out like US Thanksgiving.... Delete.

But product wise, nobody pushes personal politics into it. You'd think it'd be common sense. But nope. I guess tech and TV companies have so much money floating around, they can afford to gas it on dumb projects.

It's a slow turnaround process because length of games development
