This is a slightly off topic post, but one that I feel is tangentially related to Q and The Great Awakening.
Not sure how many gamers we have in The Great Awakening. I grew up with classics like Command & Conquer, and Red Alert. Over the years we've seen many phases in gaming culture. Among these have been both Gamer Gate 1.0 in the early 2010s, and more recently the Gamer Gate 2.0 which was kicked off when the discovery was made that there are woke consulting firms like Sweet Baby Inc who work in league with the woke journalists to pressure companies into compliance with their D.E.I agenda.
Well, gamers won a very big battle today. Evidently, Sony spent $250,000,000 and 8 years of development on their IP called "Concord." Search for pictures of this game and you will be met with some of the most bafflingly horrible character designs in entertainment history. They checked every D.E.I. box possible while managing to make every character look hideous and ugly. What did all those years of development and millions in cash net Sony? 700 peak concurrent players on Steam and a complete shut down and refund of the game only 11 days after launch.
For those who aren't aware, this type of failure is unheard of in the industry. There have been plenty of flops over the years, but never one of this magnitude that a major publisher like Sony was backing and then subsequently pulled the plug on only two weeks after launch.
For comparison, there is another game called Black Myth Wukong developed by a Chinese studio that came out around the same time. It featured the famous "Monkey King" from Journey to the West as the main protagonist. It was in development for 4 years with a budget of $57,000,000 (20% of what Sony spent) and grossed nearly a billion dollars in revenue.
This is a major sign of where the general public stands with the woke narrative. The mainstream media continues to gaslight everyone with stories of how the woke leftists are all up in the polls and super popular.
In the end, money talks.
The woke narrative is getting buried in all forms of media, be it gaming, movies, television, etc.
That is all. Now back to your regularly scheduled Q digs and research! 😁
It’s also a form of money laundering.
Ever notice Trump saying everything they touch turns to shit. The art is ugly. Music is ugly. Get out of shape super heros. Gender swapping of characters like Iron man. It’s awful and all connected.
I agree.
There is no way these television and game studios have billions of dollars to simply flush down the toilet. These shows and games look like they could be made by a talented studio with a tenth of the budget and in a tenth of the time.
Laundering is a big part of the direction these industries are going in.
Could you elaborate on how they money launder through a project like this? Thx
Easy. The money is given to / spent on 3rd-party "programming firms," "marketing consultants" and "animation contractors" who either pocket the cash themselves or spend it to buy bricks delivered to Chicago for an open air art project Aaron's the time of the DNC convention, or other things they wouldn't want to talk about.
Like the infamous Sweet Baby Inc.
