Asmongold just threw a grenade into the gaming conversation, arguing that shooter developers need to understand what their actual audience wants instead of worrying about offending people.

His post is deliberately brutal, but underneath it is a much bigger conversation about the modern “girlboss” archetype, attractive characters, target audiences, and developers makin games for people who may never buy them. Sometimes the truth isn’t polite. Let’s talk about it.

Last of Us 2 - Female lead character - she's a lesbian
Horizon - Female lead character - she's a lesbian
Gears E-Day - Female lead character - she's a lesbian

Uglified, horribly made, girl boss lead characters don't sell

There is no way I am buying this tripe. Never give money to people that hate you.

People are tired of girl bosses. It happened with the halo remake. If gears of war e day fails. Then they will suffer the same fate like 343 industries did

The Coalition knew the political climate, yet choose to do this anyways.

They brought this on themselves.

Bad Robot "Wow, people really dislike the way Mikey Burnam does EVERYTHING in Star Trek Discovery."

Game devs everywhere "We need a Mikey Burnam in EVERYTHING!"

Question for the entertainment industry. Who do you think buys these games? And who do you think spends the money on movie dates?

I'll wait...

Why wasn’t the poster a black family? They could have rewritten the whole game so it’s like Space Wakanda and mostly everyone is black. Why didn’t they represent black people enough?

Someone should organize a class action lawsuit against Microsoft for bait and switch with this game

"You used to work at Coalition? Wow, some great games came out of that dev house"
"Certainly did, did you want any sauce with your fries, sir?"
Thats what will be happening soon.

All this slop that they're putting in games just shows how untalented they are. The cant create their own IP, they have to steal existing IP's and destroy them.
