'Anti-Fans' are Ruining AAA Video Games…
According to the former writer of Dragon Age, “anti-fans” are actively rooting for games to fail and it’s hurting the industry. Or… OR… normie consumers could simply be reacting to what they’re seeing and choosing to nope out? Maybe?

Filthy casuals are ruining video games. Those filthy casuals worship bad game devs by giving them money. Filthy casuals entered the video game community with mass marketing by corporations.
They say "anti-fans" but what they truly mean is "our true masters" but they’ll never admit to it.
They should stop complaining and go beg the shareholders for more handouts since they believe they make games for them.
Seriously, the levels of not taking responsibility from these adults who work on the game, which, in turn, was A** is just sad and annoying that they can’t stop making excuses.
I convinced 13 people I know, to NOT get into Destiny 2.
I,’m doing god’s work.
I simply voted with my wallet.
That’s that.
And we’ll do it again!
I get the impression that these producers want to go full Atlas Shrugged and that consumers should be forced to purchase these games that they "won’t own".
I understand how it may seem I, as a consumer, may celebrate someone awful for the customer getting fired, but that’s because they were awful for the customer, not because I wish for the individual to suffer. And because I’m excited at the sudden prospects of someone GOOD for the customer replacing that individual in the company.
They are making games for a niche market, not the majority of gamers. You can’t expect to make a large profit as a AAA studio by doing that. They should leave those topics up to the indie market where it’s not going to hurt them if they don’t sell millions of copies. Also, didn’t these people call the upset gamers "f’ing tourists" and told them not to buy their games?
Until the games industry gets a reset and the publishers are put back in their place… We *will* celebrate all the failings.
All the unsustainable in-game monetization de-valuing games ‘especially live services, the 4-6 year pipeline of development and that’s not even calling out the worse stuff.
Gamergate 1 exposed some cracks. Gamergate 2 is destroying them. Good riddance.
My enemy is both strong and weak. -fascism
One *COULD* describe the Jazis as "Communist Anti-Fans"
These "anti-fans" didn’t come out of nowhere.
Perhaps they should be asking themselves what created them and why they’ve become powerful enough to destroy a multimillion dollar franchise?
But they won’t do that because it would mean taking accountability when they realise they caused it.
Who thought it was a good idea to put the anti-fans in charge of things in the industry?
You know what? he is right. We don’t live in a post scarcity society or a post AI singularity society. I am going to root for products I don’t care about to fail in the hope products I might care about will be green lit.
If a game fails, then it’s because not enough people bought it. If people don’t buy it, then it’s a service problem. The product/service is not desirable enough for people to want it.
Dear EA and salty gaming developers,
Your game sucked. That’s it. Your game sucked. And customers are going back to the same old strategy that works: voting with their wallets. Dragon Age Veilguard was horrible, they pushed more of the trans surgery scars, gender ideologies (mental illness) and put out a God awful product that people didn’t like. Even diehards of Dragon Age hated Veilguard. Spend less bitching about no one buying your game and more of it looking in the reflection of a mirror to see where you failed.
Sincerely,
Gamers.
These days, how the characters look is a strong indicator of whether to skip the game or not. Games with unattractive characters are games that cater to the "modern audiences", so it is an easy skip when you played enough "modern games" to know you don’t like them after giving them enough chances.
Like I said, narcissistic sociopaths with the minds of children that can’t be reasoned with because they use their feelings to justify their behavior no matter how immoral and unethical it is as long as it benefits them while using their feelings to justify everything they do and think they’re never wrong if it produces a positive reaction in their favor which in their minds means they did the right thing regardless of the damage they caused!
Imagine telling customers that enjoying a different product than the one you’re offering means they hate you.
These people have 0 self reflection skills
Nothing but crybullies and iconoclasts. And there’s a reason they keep getting hired.
Fans doesn’t want these companies to fail. The actual anti-fans just want to inject wired proselytizing into anything the devs make. When the devs chose to listen to them over actual fans, it usually ends with flops layoffs and closures. It’s not my responsibility to buy anything i don’t want, and it’s not my problem these studios go belly up.
They want to talk about anti-fans? How about hogwarts legacy?
I don’t think it’s youtubers(too small) or the media (who reads viseogame news sotes anymore lmfuckingao). The reason the game failed is much much simpler. It was shit. The general public saw some screenshot and thought it was shit. Then the non binary video went viral between normies too, they laughed at it and that’s it.
dmb woke lol
No, writers like the one who wrote Dragon Age are the Anti-Fans and are ruining the industry.
Tried playing it through ps+ and I because can’t it sucks. Even a big time DA fan I know who brought it and as time has gone in they have come to very much dislike it
The ture anti-fans are the "writers" that have infiltrated all creative spaces. They gaslight true fans to hide the fact that they never belonged in creative spaces, and took opportunities away from ture creators.
I thought AAAA games ruined AAA gaming.
Not a flattering thumbnail XD
It’s weird, isn’t it? I challenge you to name any other industry that screams and stomps it feet when people drift away like this. The customer is going to do what’s best for his wallet, and if you aren’t putting out products that convince people that it’s worth more than the full wallet, it’s time to reevaluate what you’re offering and who you’re offering it to. (I could go on a rant about the dearth of creativity, but I’ll spare you.) The only thing in life that’s permanent is change. Adapt or die out. AAA Gaming isn’t exempt from this rule, and it warms the cockles of my heart to see the Indie industry filling the void.
It’s the comic/movie Industry all over again
Imagine a movie so bad that they bring an antifan into discussions not some one that didn’t like the media but is part of a group to become a part of the antifandom
The market always wins.
Communists always cry about it.
Sure can´t be that I am a terrible writer, they must be anti-fans! Surely! It has nothing to do with the franchise i ruined, the story i wrote what made peoples toenails flip up 90 degrees with a shudder of the ages.
Naw there is two things that destroyed "AAA" games
1) Corporate greed
2) DEI/ESG hires
Reads title: damn right we did and even more damn proud now fade into myth and be forgotten AAA fame companies.
*TRANSLATION:* "Gamers are coordinating and collaborating to remove the toxic elements from the industry and we don’t like it."
"This game isn’t for you!!" …. "buy my game or your a biggot!!!"
The decision not to buy could be related to a fan being disappointed by DA 2 and DA 3.
I’m not an anti-fan. I’m an ex-fan. I didn’t change
They can blame anyone they want for their products failures but for me at least it has far more often been the official marketing that has caused me not to purchase. It has gotten to the point where they can’t even hide the crap parts due to those being what they actively choose to promote at the top of their voices.
Always taking it so personal. Someone needs to remind them the economy doesn’t work like that. Not every game succeeds, and not every developer deserves a medal. That’s how the industry has always been.
And they are right
Corporations ruined their own companies by fighting the customers because they are supposed to be consumers. All of which came about because those corporations are infested with DEI and Feminism.
We said we don’t want dei / bridge slop. We aren’t anti fans. We’re the 1.5 million that occupied every dot on the globe when Halo 3’s multiplayer was at its peak. We’re the guy you saw in a cod 4 lobby once in your lifetime. The random tomato’s you saw in WoT with XVM running on your end that you destroyed like 3 times at tier 8 and then never saw again.
We aren’t anti fans. We are the masses.
😂 "Your game looks stupid, I’m not going to buy it."
"Don’t knock it until you buy and try it. No refunds."
"No."
"Your an anti-fan!"
Hahahah we are winning and voting with are wallets no more disrespect no im done with the BS in gaming
I need to "defend" what this guy and others are saying, to a certain degree, because I recall a time – not too long ago in terms of who I just got to hear from at the time – that as soon as some audiences and customers figured out they were "allowed" to be as nasty as possible in their criticism only to hold the sword of unemployment and managerial descension over the heads of professionals, all hell broke loose on their side, and it’s only in the not-so-distant past I’ve personally seen professionals biting back, although THAT HAS lead to the ‘anti-fan’ moniker surfacing due to customers cutting off the revenue stream as a result, in a more conscious way, I think. That may be the longest sentence I have ever written XD
