No RPG elements? It probably goes here!

"How is having female characters woke? What are you? Gay?"
"Incel"
"Oh no black people exist in a game!"
"Define woke"
"Take your meds"

On the fence with some of those points.

"There's no market for [specific genre that made money when market was 10x smaller]"
What we have learned from watching what games become hits is that the market is ********, anyway, as the dumbest **** randomly becomes a smash hit for the most random reasons.
The gaming market is actually pretty predictable on what sells given good amount market audience research and reasonable profit margin expectations .Unfortunately game developers/publishers rarely do both failing spectacularly.

Well, in the sense that the typical decently-made game does decently well. But then you get weird **** like Flappy Bird and Vampire Survivors, which is just a ****** Flash game resurrected, becoming smash hits.

You have to remember for every smash hit of flappy bird or Vampire Survivors there are 1,000 other games that released and never make a dime. New outlet like to give the success stories but not the bottomless pits of failures being put out daily by game devs.

"You shouldn't be able to rape a ****** until they explode into a million bloody chunks in your game"
I'm just stating the facts.
Question is are you going to gargle the truth or swallow?

Is that even physically possible? Is there a game that lets you rape ANYTHING until that happens?

As amusing as the resulting outcome would be, we're not phonetards here, so we don't have "numbers".
