   Bethesda shills are highly active on the negative steam reviews.

     @RatPoster Starfield is really behind their sales predictions. It's already on sale, that type of thing is normal for goyslop AAA games but Bethesda games used to keep their price for at least a year. Following Fallout 76 this is a chain of two failures in a row for Bethesda, wondering if that rumor of Todd looking to retire is true

     @D-Droid @RatPoster Seems vidya is going the way of movies and TV, and for at least some of the same reasons

     @DW2 @D-Droid @RatPoster everything is down, not just vidya. disney had a uniquely disastrous year, but all movies are down. inflation is still ravaging everyday life on the ground, but these luxury product companies seem to act surprised pikachu when it actually impacts them.

     @grey @D-Droid @RatPoster sure, but the fact that the poz is cranked up to 11 while the overall quality of the product declines noticeably is the main driver of it I think

     @DW2 @grey @RatPoster Yeah, people don't enjoy niggers in their media. Unless it's a nigger centric story like the Wire or GTA San Adreas then maybe they'll tolerate it, but whenever you put niggers in shit like Fantasy or Fairy Tales people grimace

     @D-Droid @grey @RatPoster really shows how out of touch the Boomer/Gen X heebs running Hollywood are that they insist putting nigs in everything. like if you’re gonna force diversity into stuff you might as well go with beaners, there’s a lot more of them then blacks and they’ll pretty much watch almost anything

     @DW2 @D-Droid @RatPoster i am skeptical about the poz angle being the main driver, since poz is running amok freely on streaming and that's one area that's still popular and growing for now. $15 / month is still doable, but $60 for a night at the movies becomes something that you need to consider.

     @grey @D-Droid @RatPoster I think Netflix is the only streaming service to actually turn a profit so far. Disney’s lost something like a few billion dollars on Disney plus

     @DW2 @D-Droid @RatPoster from 2019:

     Disney chief financial officer Christine McCarthy said operating losses for Disney Plus are projected to peak between 2020 and 2022, with profitability coming in 2024.

     @Hoss @grey @D-Droid @DW2 @RatPoster They're going to point at the merger between Disney+ and Hulu and say "Look at all that growth!!"

     @Hoss @grey @D-Droid @RatPoster no way the same studio that ran Star Wars and Marvel into the ground is going to have a profitable streaming service in the next five years
