I hate forced DEI as much as any of you but that's a pretty dumb article considering GAF naturally skews a certain way. I'd prefer they did a poll in a more balanced venue so at least we'd have unbiased proof that most gamers couldn't give a fuck.
 
While I commend our fellow Gaffer Abdullah Waseem on his research, I don't honestly think we needed to poll gamers to find this out. Just look at the sales of Concord, Star Wars Outlaws, Dustborn, etc. for evidence. The market has spoken, the silent majority have spoken, there is nothing left to say

Does anyone know demographics of this site? People assume that it's usually straight white males that are opposed to all the DEI shit games but I usually find that minorities have as much distain for it as everyone else.
By proxy of knowing english to be able to use gaf, u got high probability to be white(even USA who is supposed to have high population of black ppl, thats barely 13% in 2022, other western countries are below that and not by lil.
Wiki says 93% of men are straight in the west, so even with just those 2 simple infos u can tell at least 90% of gaf is male, white and straight, and since we are hardcore gamer's forum, that %age is likely even higher(since hardcore gamer is extremly uncommon to be female).

D Doggyred So what PeteBull is trying to say is that Neogaf is a very diverse forum with people completely equally from all parts of the world and represents the wonderful variety in our human race. So the poll reflects reality to a T.

This a really stupid take. What more balanced venues are there? You discount people on GAF because they are on GAF? Meanwhile every purple hair infested outlet gets to write their opinions which they have done for years which started this whole forced DEI shit in the first place. Most other venues are heavily moderated so they are skewed to the left. At least on GAF you can say whatever you think so I would say GAF is the right venue.

I'm a gold fish. But I'm currently identifying as an ill-tempered sea bass in the hopes I can secure an internship at Ubisoft.

I see that as a win. Imagine taking Reera as a source, the guy barelly can be there to talk, they keep screeching at other instead of discussing.

But lets not beat around the bush. You don't need to be on Gaf to know this. Its like asking a random fella on the street if he cares about movies having inclusivity. People only care about the things they paid being good. Its aways gonna be like that, despite Disney screaming those problems exist and selling you the solution(Force is female).

I believe that gaming forums and then primarily sales influence the games we get. I believe most devs frequent one gaming forum or the other to kinda put their fingers on the pulse of things.

Now having said that, I find I ask myself a simple question, looking at the gaming landscape in general, did you prefer it when GAF was the primary and defacto gaming forum? Or after the bifurcation and we now have RE?

I know what my vote will be that's for sure...
 
Came across the article.


I was like wow, since when gamers become so based?

Until I read that:

LMFAO, I gotta say, not only did I find this amusing, I found this commendable. This is real journalism, and this is a win for Gaffers, as the writer knows to cite the most credible source for the data.

Abdullah Waseem, if you post here, please show yourself, I'm sure there will be gold.

Haha real journalism quoting a poll from Gaf? Get real. Gaf is NOT representative of gamers generally. Lazy journalism.

If they trully did concord would have selled much more based only in their user numbers... they really dont... its just group therapy and/or a cult session.
The mistake here is thinking that they actually buy games rather than just complaining and chin-stroking about them.

Gaming “journalist.” They will do anything other than conduct the proper research themselves. Gaf should start a poll to show gamers overwhelmingly supporting big booty anime women protagonist in video games.
