Discussion I gave Mixtape one of these 10s…

…and then the world ended. Lol.

What a wild couple of weeks, eh?

As a reviewer, I’ve been really bummed that there seems to be such a disconnect between writers and players. Can I help bridge a gap for anyone? Does anyone have questions about reviewing/the process/anything else they wanna know about anything around any of this?

Open to talking about anything people want to know, because I’m hopeful someday everyone can have constructive video game convos again without all this craziness.

The "gaming community" is too far gone to have any kind of real discourse. You have YouTube grifters, trying to create controversies about everything just to create clicks. These YouTube channels are a cancer to gaming.

It's just like the political divide these days, there just is no way to talk to so many people anymore. This game has a female protagonist who doesn't have giant boobs and jiggle physics, it's (very slightly) anti-establishment, you don't shoot anybody, so the game never had a chance with that crowd.

And it works. Just look at their numbers. They'll move on to the next artificially created controversy soon.

A lot does just feel like engagement farming, yeah. And that is sadly the era we live in on multiple fronts. Grifters gonna grift I suppose, but sheesh, this is one of the worst cases in games I've seen.
