I should stop joking. Sadly my jokes are ending up becoming true.

If you look at the SJW influence in gaming this explains a lot

EA thinks that people will always buy Battlefield Games and sees a potential market in a large amount of people who want more progressive games

Logically If you make a product that people ask for they should want to buy it

They view the SJWs as customers not as a negative PR protection racket

They think that by combining or changing games they can appeal to a broader market

Yep.

In other words if you make a game thats half battlefield and half fortnite youll most of the battlefield players and a good number of the fortnite players

That fatal error of thinking there's a vast ocean of hidden markets lying just under our feet.

And if we keep drilling through our own people long enough, we'll get them.

Your own people don't like being drilled through though.

Kinda pisses them off.

And when it turns out the other markets don't exist, it's too late.

Have you ever tried drilling through a person?

They really struggle.

I cant recall the last time anyone bought a game because it was described as half of another game

"The theory goes that your die hard users will always use your products and you should do what you can to court new markets"
I have turned my back on more franchises than I can count because of this kind of bullshit.

I guess the only saving grace is that almost all entertainment is so awful these days that I don't feel like I'm depriving myself of anything. I do wish there were more good scifi books though. SJWs taking over that industry really hurt.

Well the issue is the theory has been adopted too widely

It works very well for standard products. Things like cars, microwaves, even food to a lesser degree all benefit massively from courting new markets because people use them for a long period of time.

Everyone has a favorite resturant that they constantly go to and ones they hate, even among fast food chains that literally have different names for the same things.

The differance is if a Car is a POS, then the company will have to change it. Everything else, it is harder to keep track of what is actually working vs false possitives

Exactly, the difference is that no feedback for the entertainment industry exists besides what people say about it.

Companies are being told to catter to non-costumers who won't become customers no mater what the company does to court them, in the mean time they are alienating their core customer base.

Right and this is a direct result of branding/blue sea theories becoming too widespread in the business world

I don't understand why companies try to pander to SJWs, when SJWs will not touch what they make and usually end up being boycotted by the SJWs.

The focus is on building a brand and using that brand name to open/break into new markets

Every time a company panders to SJWs, they get burned.

Currently they are like freaking moths chasing a light that will kill them.

Hey guys I'm late but I wanna ask a question on tims video about healthcare. Why should I take care of you if you won't take care of you?

I wish SJWs would just disappear from the face of the earth. They are nothing but a plaque that destroys whatever they touch.

I dont agree with the sentiment but i do understand it

Especially in an era of body positivity

The basic problem of SJWs and their Hashtag movements is they don't like anything but demand everyone bends to their whims and so no one can enjoy anything

I am not saying killing them, I am saying the ideology of SJWs.

They stop existing.

@Blackhawk342 I'll take that

Because everyone realizes they are full of shit.

I gotta start @ ing people

that was for mark tmg, ill get to your point in a second

You get what I am saying now.
