@ThatWouldBeTelling@sickburnbro@suquili Money men are executives that are clueless about what they are actually selling. This clip from Steve Jobs is one of my favourite examples explaining it. When a company reaches a certain size that making better products does not attract more people they rely almost entirely on marketing and completely ignore the actual quality of their products youtube.com/watch?v=lmFlOd0MGZg
@Arkana@sickburnbro@suquili Sony burning $400 million on Concord, the worse media failure in all of history, is a good demonstration that the first bit of your model is incomplete or just wrong.
Who are "money men" nowadays? Special cases with tight ownership, and activist investors, who's been making runs at Disney and I'm not sure who else. And Ubisoft is also in trouble, yes?
In most cases, we're talking about executives who's first priority is keeping their jobs and careers in globohomo Clown World where a work dud ... maybe not as bad as Concord, but there's plenty others, is less bad than "just want fucking white males to consume product" for games. Or normie families for most of what Disney does. And there are probably some true believers in there as well, or so I guessed about Concord.
@Arkana@sickburnbro this begs the question, why then is it a problem to not buy games like concord if you're a straight white male (identifying with gay/brown characters is a requirement to play as them) ?
or alternatively, is it a problem that white men don't want to play these games because their intent is to such them into the LGBT vortex?
@suquili@sickburnbro There are multiple competing groups. The money men just want people to consume product. The troons want to force others to accept their fetish, which allows them to get off more. And ugly middle aged women want people to stop looking at hot women and instead look at them
@suquili@Arkana because all of those characters are intentionally made ugly. They used to try and work in non-whites by selecting the ones with most european compatible features. This is why most boomers love saying they don't see color.
