Game looks cool. Watched a couple of reviews. Now youtube is recommending me rage-baiting gaming weirdos whining about DEI and attacking a reviewer for saying it isn't diverse enough.

And then the developers have this clause reviewers have to agree to get a review copy of the game:

>Do NOT include politics, violence, nudity, feminist propaganda, fetishization and other content that instigates negative discourse

So chuds are championing the game now for being anti-woke?

But not all people had to agree to the clause, just some people? And it's from a marketing partner working with the developer? And the developer may or may not be run by sexist creeps according to internet rumors?

Don't mess with colleagues

In addition to sex partners, we found that many of the previous benefits only looked good. But here, we have more thoughtful services that will make you cry, whether it is meal allowance, car allowance, unlimited taxi reimbursement, or unlimited ZESPRI kiwifruit or KIRKLAND nuts.

Forced self-pleasure

You can easily say "play your own games more" and then turn around to play five-player mid, and you may also make money. But here, we require you to experience the products you develop seriously, and there is no room for compromise.

Fat man die

Reminding employees to pay attention to their health and providing free physical examinations still cannot prevent colleagues from dying from overwork.

But here,

We can go to the gym, run or swim during working hours without anyone's approval, and all expenses are borne by the company.

Must work overtime

We have never concealed the fact that overtime is a cancer in our industry, but here,

  1. We can sleep until we wake up naturally, have lunch and then come to work;

  2. After the project is launched, we will have transparent project profit-sharing bonuses every month.

I know none of this matters, and I spent way more mental energy writing this stupid post than any of this deserves. I was expecting dumb backlash to the game just because it's from China, but this is far stupider than I expected.

Fuck youtube for giving the most awful reactionary gamergate losers a career and promoting them every fucking chance they get. Whenever they attach themselves to a cultural object this bullshit starts popping up like a flea infestation.

Fucking gamers.

    Gamer discourse will only get more confused and contradictory as China inevitably begins dominating the video games industry. Even if, hypothetically, none of their games ever reach mass appeal in the west, it's only a matter of time before the best available hardware is Chinese.

    I'd like to say it will be fun to watch the chuds grapple with their sinophobia and anti-communism getting in the way of their rabid consumerism, but tbh I think most chuds will just quietly rationalize it and, at best, rant less about China. Maybe we'll even get some cursed synthesis like "China is only good because they're anti-woke!"

      Actually I assume the second Chinese CPUs and GPUs become a competitive threat to Intel and AMD, they will be tariffed to hell. But unlike Chinese EVs, gamers would largely know what they're missing out on, as benchmarks are easy to share. I wonder how they'll handle knowing they can't max their framerates due to huge tariffs or maybe even complete bans 🤔
