The video game industry has been trying to gaslight players into submitting to their predatory practices by masquerading greed as evolution or financial viability🚀 Shutting down studios and games that players want in favor of games no one asked for, and a statements in the vein of: ✅“single player games are dead” ✅“Physical media makes no sense” ✅“Live service is the future” ✅“Streaming will be mainstream in 3 years” ✅“Gamers are over” ✅“Game development is hard” ✅“MTX make game development viable” They weren’t based on objective facts, but a deformation of reality to make players, many of whom are young and/or easily to manipulate with fanboyism and different kinds of tribalism in order to goad them into a accepting whatever predatory practices. Through fake PR word salad, aggressively marketed slop for the lowest common denominator that plays in their emotions and insecurities, and smug condescending negativity towards criticism, vilifying it as “toxicity” they are trying to convince you that there’s something wrong with you for demanding value for your money. That’s why you need to speak out, and be loud, because gaming is at is worst and most expensive and least inspired and unsustainable than it’s ever been, and only voting with our voices and wallets consistently is our hope for a better future for gaming. We need to vote the people who never valued gaming as anything more than a business OUT OF GAMING NO DISC 💿 NO BUY #SaveMassEffect
