Are video game devs inherently dirty commies, or did blackrock make them that way?

Particularly since a year ago it had a massive hit with a different game, "Hogwarts Legacy."

one game had troons organizing themselves to harass anyone streaming it - while the other got championed by them because 'woman kill man'

it's almost as if this particular group of retarded but extremely vocal and overrepresented minority is in fact just a minority and shouldn't be pandered to.

WBD's chief financial officer, Gunnar Wiedenfels, described the game's results as "disappointing," and the company repeatedly pointed out the impact of the game's failure on its bottom line. Particularly since a year ago it had a massive hit with a different game, "Hogwarts Legacy."

All of which points out something the games industry has been grappling with for some time: It looks more and more like Hollywood. That means it places very big bets on would-be blockbusters, which are increasingly tied to intellectual property that's been successful in the past. When that strategy works, it's great. And when it doesn't …

no??

AAA games are almost dead, there's like 2-3 a year now tops

Good stuff.

Yes, but again. BlackRock is their client, not the costumer. As longs you are helping Larry Fink to force behaivior, ESG loans will come to save you(and debt enslave your company). About Hogwarts Legacy, the game was not anti woke by any means. It had body types 1/2 instead of genders, had a lot of blacks and brown people in industrial revolution Britain, but sure, was much less infected with Frankfurt neo marxism than Suicide Squad. But is not as if it was as great as 90s/early 00s games either.

I think White Mage is right this time. ESG money (Blackrock, etc) will keep feeding these AAA companies money while they produce shit (see Disney) until they take over the company. It's a mix of jewish perfidy and greed.

Invests in and manages securities... as well as the whole economy, basically.

They not only do this, but also throttle funding to any company NOT bowing to the ESG agendas.
I can 100% confirm that this stuff is absolutely NOT a conspiracy theory, and such investment firms are indeed restricting funds to companies that do not bow to the woke agenda. They see it as their "social duty".
The specific "ESG" terminology is indeed used internally, too (especially when they're patting themselves on the back). It's not just a media term.

Yes, they invest in everything. Because capitalism is not zero sum, therefore if you invest in everything, number go up. And I do mean everything:

If you had a public company titled "Fascism co." and it was profitable, they'd own a portion of it.

Sorry to burst your bubbles, but there is no secret cabal forcing gamedevs to be libtards — they are libtards who believe in the message. This whole ESG shit? They do it because they actually believe in it, not because they think it will get them more money. Do you guys secretly think Stalin and Mao were doing it for the money too?

[Irenaeus]

The specific "ESG" terminology is indeed used, too. It's not just a media term.

It first appeared in academic circles decades ago. It has been promoted non-stop by big money ever since. It's taken very seriously by the billionaires and their servants, managers and politicians. On topic, the reason for celebrating shit gamedevs being fired is that they subscribe (cynically or not) to ESG nomenclature and rules.

Black Rock-worshipping kikes buy oil companies and immediately turn the investments to "Green" stuff, destroying profitability and b00sting their fake-energy "Green" schemes. It's called looting a country, something kikes do very well (see the British Empire).

[WhiteShark]

Why would Larry Fink talk about having to 'force behaviors' if everybody were doing it on their own already? Was it just coincidence that wokeism in gaming started accelerating at the same time that Larry Fink started pushing ESG?

[WaterMage]

If you had a public company titled "Fascism co." and it was profitable, they'd own a portion of it.

And try to put woke people in board of directors to gradually subvert the company.

The fact that they preach green agenda and invest in gas and oil is no strange. They use ESG agenda for more power and control but very few of them really believe on it. Larry Fink promotes a lot of diversity hires in other companies. Does anyone here believes that his private jet pilot is a diversity hire? that if he goes do a surgery, he will do with a diversity hire? Or that he wanna Boing to hire diversity hires and "public" hospitals?

To the best of my knowledge, Blackrock does not own the majority share in a single company — nor do they even get close to it.

[BobT]

A very, very small portion of it under various shell company names, just for contingency and their own private pockets.

The megabucks "investment" gazillions they throw around to invest for the benefit of companies and schemes, will absolutely be throttled from any such company.
I really wish I could post such here, but they absolutely do display pie charts etc. in internal meetings patting themselves on the back at how many millions they've restricted from non-ESG compliant businesses, even if that does hit the profits of the investment schemes. They get around it by simply just not counting that, and only measuring it against the ESG compliant ones.
It's an absolute goal, from the very top, to only invest in the "ESG Compliant" businesses. This is your literal tax & pension money that they're using for this btw, not just private investments. This is MUCH wider than blackrock and the like..

It's one of those things that sounds like a conspiracy (including the terminology), but is very, very real. Anyone seeking any sort of funding, has to get into bed with this agenda whether they like it or not.

Sounds about right the time the Prizker kike gangster family of Chicago started pushing trannies heavily, with Bruce Jenner crossdressing on the cover of some women's magazine in early 2015.

Have you considered that you're confusing the cause and effect?
Sorry, gamedevs are just giga communists and the jew is exploiting them.

They are all that gay and communist. I don't know why there's such a reluctance to accept this when they'll flat out tell you so.

Most AAA, AA, A and indie (B?) gamedevs are gay or communist or both. A great reason to cherish their firings.

Because the few that aren't, can't get any funding.
This is why you see a few based indie devs and then pretty much nothing bigger than that. If anyone gets a decent bigger game out, you can guarantee that the second will be pozzed to hell, as they'll 100% be under the thumb of whoever is providing their funding.

This throttling of funds (using YOUR tax and workplace pension money!) is absolutely happening. It just doesn't get distributed down to any companies (or any funds / schemes that provide money to companies) who aren't specifically proving themselves as "ESG Compliant". We're talking literal trillions of assets here, and this is just from one company.
If only you have seen what I have seen in those meetings...

[rusty_shackleford]

The reason there aren't any non-libtard developers is because libtards purge ranks. They infiltrate libertarian spaces and take over.
