The tl;dr of the video is to not respond to social media and let the game speak for itself.

I've said it before in another thread and will repeat here, game devs need social media training and the first lesson is the art of not posting.

Yup. I completely agree. Laura is 100% on the money with this.

And Given that the platform in the center of all of this is Twitter, the best response would be no response at all. The words "I don't have the time or the patience for this shit" couldn't leave my mouth fast enough.

The angry woke crowd may have just run into their final boss, and it sounds like she has cheat codes..

 

[Salz01]

I always laugh when I watch her videos. She is always so right. Why isnt she outsourcing to other companies and consulting them. Instead you have shit companies like SBI, consultsting and creating shit products.

 

[dottme]

I think her argument is only valid if you want to sell your game. But most of the developers are looking for internet point. And a good fight will get you a lot of internet point.

Is Avowed going to flop?

Yes

 

[TheGodfather07]

Why are developers wasting time on twitter anyway? That shithole is for 12 year old kids who got nothing better to do. Just make your game and shut the fuck up!!

I call it the lost art of Shutting the Fuck Up.

It is amazing how much I've minimized drama by strategically employing such tactic.

 

[Alan Wake]

Seems like Laura Fryer is attracting more views and subscribers. She deserves it.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

But that won't get developers social media likes.

They are not going to be superstars according to Ubisoft dev logic.

Haven't watched video as i am at work but will later. I already know who she is though and have watched her other videos.
She is non-woke and what we need more of in game dev.
I guess it's a generational thing as she is gen x, and we are way more common sense and dgaf.

He was posting on BlueSky which where most of the leftist game devs fled to.

 

[Dacvak]

Based. A surprisingly good watch, I'd find it difficult for anyone to disagree with her points.

 

[Crayon]

Everyone can learn something from this.

How being online became a free pass from having to conduct yourself, idk. She mentioned the apparent lack of company policies about this, which has always seemed odd. Do these people ever get chewed at work the next day?

Not chewed. Rimmed.

 

[ShadyAcshuns]

If only the greedy and creepy devs would listen to her.

 

[Crayon]

Not chewed. Rimmed.

 

[Generic]

She seems kinda based and speaks common sense.

One day she will be eaten alive by the people who support her if she moves slightly away from her lane. It's happening with Vavra.

The irony of Musk being mad of pronouns in a fantasy, man it's literally where they will ever make sense, if even then.

Musk has no issues with body types in Diablo, go figure.

 

[SHA]

Great video, but I'm not one of these she called amplifed people, if the game going to die then let it die but I won't use the social media to destroy careers, that's not fun but I understand who's in their 10s & 20s find it reasonable doing it

Is Avowed going to flop?

Even if the devs weren't woke and this shitshow never happened it would have an uphill battle commercially, because it's a FP Xbox game and Xbox as a platform is tanking; i.e. console sales are in the toilet and because of GamePass existing console owners are no longer buying games.

I think it could see success on PC, but the woke activist elements we know about already will be throwing additional obstacles in the way of what is inherently a challenging outlook.
