the game industry used to be so fucking based. just groups of bros doing whatever they wanted, coding cool shit, making offensive jokes, talking smack to eachother all day, calling eachother faggots and pussies during vidya matches at lunch, no HR dept so you handled disputes and discomfort like adults, hiring based purely on skillset instead of race & gender quota hires producing pajeet quality code, no women around to get offended by everything needing the heat cranked because god forbid they go 5 minutes without male attention by covering up the tits & legs that got them hired, no diversity lead to make sure there’s exactly 49.7% of each race and 400 genders represented in the game, just badass heavy metal blasting across the office while everyone lives off pizza and sleeps on the floor, voluntarily working crunch mode without complaining because the office enviro is bros having fun and they’re grateful for the capitalist opportunity to quit the shitty company they work at instead of whining on twitter and just go make something cool on their own with their bros trying to get rich splitting profits however they want instead of crying about unionizing to prevent companies from jettisoning the least productive members of their team for being a waste of money because now the industry is some kind of self help club for mentally ill emotionally fragile babies using it as their therapy safe space instead of a place where people try to make something actually good which is why all the shit coming out now is pandering garbage that won’t be remembered or played 20 years from now despite all the 10s the equally mentally ill game journalists give it because it had a trans flag in the background and the main char is a fat black woman wearing a BLM shirt shouting “DAS RITE!!” in ebonics over her hip hop theme music which is way more racist and eye-rolling than any of the non-white characters created by the “problematic” toxic white male game industry in the past
