As the title suggests, western game devs, please get your heads out of your ass and get your shit together. Stop with the microtransactions, stop with the unlikable characters, the padding out, the kind of "open world" game where there's absolutely nothing between "Point A" to "Point B" and for the love of god, no AAAA games, they don't exist yet, and your failure of a pirate game is not it.
And please stop with the Millennial Writing. For those who don't know, it's when millennial game writers still think it's 2012 and that they're "oh so quirky" when really we think they're annoying. Stop with the shaved sides, zoomers don't even know who Skrillex is. Loud doesn't always equal funny, even back in 2012, I found this millennial style of character writing in Borderlands 2 very cringe, and it's just unnecessary padding. And please, this isn't the early 2010's anymore, you're in your 30s, please grow the fuck up already, you will never be in vogue again, forced quirkiness is dead, dubstep is dead, everything cringe and cancerous in the 2010's is dead, can we let that stupid decade die already?
Here's a good example of how annoying it gets, left is normal video game dialogue, the right is the obnoxious "lel so quirky" dialogue:
There are SAM sites all over the village, and if you don't destroy them, our troops couldn't land. We have them marked on the map.
HEEEY BOYO! You know living, right? It totes sucks to die, right? Well if you don't do anything about the SAM sites, we could see a bunch of guys die before they even get to the ground. That'll totally be like getting ran over before you get your pumpkin spice brulee and froyo. So here's the dealio, yo: If you get rid of those SAM sites for us, we could land more ground troops, that's a good thing in case you didn't know. Oh, you want that on your minimap? Well here you goooooo!!!!!
What would rather hear in-game? I rest my case.
It's time to get back to well-written stories, good campaigns, likable characters, and to stop with the wokeness. If you don't know what that is, I can tell you simply: It means the style of story-telling where the themes and messsages are just right upfront and obvious, while the story and everything else is either on the backburner or non-existent (Or in politics, just empty lip-service and favoritism for marginalized groups at the behest of the majority). I also hate how everytime a game fails, the creators and the staff that worked on it act like edgy middle schoolers and rage at any criticism online. You're a CEO, not Chris Chan.
Because while western companies were sinking due to low sales, bad customer reviews, and strange obsession with black people and fat women, Japanese woke companies were getting away with their bullshit for a decade. Have you ever seen the Fate series? They literally turned historical figures into women. Who the fuck needs Google Gemini when you got wokesters in Japan? Thank you, woketards of the East, for telling me that Nero and King Arthur were actually women, now all the femcels can be empowered.
The sickening part of Eastern Wokeness is that they can get away with making the absolute worst shit possible, like Uzaki-chan, My Dressup Darling, Stellar Blade, and Nier Automata, and have nobody ever call that shit out because the creators and companies are polite and know when to shut the fuck up. In secret, they think their customer base are dumbasses, and it's true, they are. I don't talk trash about the new Suicide Squad game, The Last of Us 2, Horizon, or the Saints Row Reboot, because they flopped, the people working on the game raged and sperged hard, and everyone forgot within a couple months, but with Nier and Stellar Blade, I hate them way more because I have to see 2B every-fucking-where, even in Rainbow Six, Tom Clancy has to be rolling in his grave so fast that Greta Thunberg is glad she's harvesting that energy to power her mansion.
So with that in mind, I see western gaming collapsing, Ubisoft decided AAAA games are already a thing, Naughty Dog is becoming a laughingstock in gaming, and Rocksteady has joined EA and Activision in becoming a shit company, Japanese gaming companies already pulling out of DEI and ESG, the real fear isn't all the good classic franchises dying off, it's much worse.
All your favorite franchises, like Call of Duty and Quake and Doom, are gonna go to other game companies, and you know it's either gonna be huge companies like Disney or Universal where every game is gonna be sanitized garbage for kids that'll make no ripples, or Eastern Woke Companies who will make the game equally sanitized coomer-bait with no substance. That's right, you think Call of Duty is bad now, just you wait, I can speculate how much worse it can get. If it's companies like ShiftUp, you better believe the next Call of Duty is gonna be a game where you play as a petri dish of various STDs, a hub of a vaginal salad if you will (Yuck!) trying to figure out which waifu blob is his super-duper favorite, with occasional combat involved.
What, you thought I was joking? That's basically what every single gacha game is, and it's about as sickening as you can imagine.
So Western Game devs, please kindly have Gabe Newell get his crowbar, and have him pry your heads out of your asses, and go back to being actual good game companies and listen to your customer base, do you want the next Ghost Recon to be about waifublobs, or a remake of the Modern Warfare series where instead of a trilogy of high stakes and epic twists and turns, you get a harem anime story where you have to spend time with disgusting waifublobs and trudge through a melodramatic story that looks like it was written by a room full of angsty and lonely highschoolers. No Russian would be replaced with a cringe generic date with one of them instead. Yuck
Am I traumatizing you now Western game devs? Good, now get your shit together and make games we actually like.
