And it's stupid because ridiculous cheesecake games are never going away, all that's happening is it's sometimes getting some pushback in games that are not specifically delivery mechanisms for it.

The "fun" thing about that is what happened with the series Senran Kagura, and if you don't know what that is and don't feel like looking at the wikipedia article, is a series about underage titty ninjas. Games like that were usually defended with "well that's just the free market at work :smuggo:," but the developers looked at the numbers and said "huh, we're alienating a lot of people (and their money) by being so full of underage titty ninjas, maybe if we toned that down we'd be able to attract people (and their money)." Which, of course, is not the free market at work, but "SJW CENSORSHIP :byodood:" because of course it is.

Of course, it's also a handy scapegoat for publishers, too: the official reason for not bringing over the latest Dead or Alive volleyball game was "there would be social pushback," but it's pretty obvious the real reason was "there aren't enough people willing to buy our lovely breast delivery system to justify the costs involved in localizing it."

Games catering to them are "free market at work," games catering to anybody else are just pandering or virtue signalling or whatever, because of course only straight white manly men play video games because they will go to great lengths to chase out anybody else who shows an interest.

According to that Wikipedia article, the last published Senran Kagura video game is a third-person shooter where girls in bikinis shoot each other with super-soakers until their bikinis fall off

so I'm not exactly sure "we should tone it down" was their takeaway

The talk about toning it down was on Twitter, and done after their last release. The gaters went apeshit about a half a month ago about it, I believe.

I actually feel bad for the developers of some games with creepo poo poo because the actual game parts are sometimes really solid but the majority of people will just discount them because they're either buying the game for creepo reasons or not buying the game for the same reasons, leaving only people like me who are dead inside to appreciate the work they did on game systems.

To be fair I learn about most celebrity deaths from this thread, so it kinda makes sense.

And if it makes you feel better I know kids born in 2001 who aren't sure if they're millennials or post-millennials.

And that's not to mention the huge amounts of money the government just straight up gives the coal and gas industries.

And the subsidies all the other car manufactures get.
