What were their motivations to become woke shills?
Were they indoctrinated with wokeness?
Christopher Nolan ruined his career with a woke movie
Hideo Kojima ruined his career with a woke game
We lost 2 of the biggest masterminds in making entertainment, pure and fun

The culture war in games has a problem.
It judges games as if they were movies, but games are more than that.
They're interactive.
You can have the wokest game, but if the art direction is solid AND the gameplay is interesting AND the price is right, players will show up.

Here's how to put Xbox back on the map.
Asha, pay attention.
"Hedwig will make you beg"- Fable if it was made by real gamers.

I built my account in the trenches of the culture war.
It gave me the likes, the reposts, the unhinged replies, the visibility.
But it never gave me an answer to:
Why 007: First Light has sold 3M units.
Why TLOU 2 sold 10M units.
Why Yotei outsould Tsushima, first month.
The culture war has a ceiling.
And the industry deserves a better framework.

Many of you are asking me: "Yorch, why are you simping now for God of War Laufey or Tomb Raider"?
Simple: what's the point of the culture war if players will show up for Laufey or Legacy of Atlantis?
The important conversation is the money studios are leaving on the table.

Eve,
You'll always be a symbol of beauty and elegance.
Never to be replaced.
Forever to be honored.

Voidling Bound is currently the hottest release according to SteamDB.
It's a 3rd person shooter creature collector.
Has anyone played it?

The hilarious thing about Evie is that it's a 3-way split.
1. Those who hate her for the same reasons they hated Eve. (insane left)
2. Those who simp her no matter what. (the worst)
3. Those who hate her because the design is bad and not worthy of the Stellar Blade name. (based)

Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis looks great.
Just give Lara the two assets we all know she's clearly missing, and I'm buying it day one.
Come on Crystal Dynamics, there's plenty of time to fix Lara.
You'll sell 10x as many units.

Very few people mentioned an Uncharted game when I declared Gears of War 2 the best third-person shooter ever made.
And that caught my attention.
Is the Uncharted series fading from player discourse?

I'm just giving you the numbers.
What's the point of the culture war if people buy 007: First Light?
What's the point of the culture war if people line up for Ghost of Yotei?
What matters is the money studios are leaving on the table for not providing what players want.
