It’s fairly well known that most Western developers adopt socially regressive postmodernist views, both in their personal lives and in their professional work. We oftentimes see these concepts rear their head in fictional work, especially in [current year] more often than not. One developer, however, doesn’t believe in keeping silent about how he feels about certain consumer demographics, and has openly called for driving away “Alt-Right” gamers.
The developer in question is Charles Randall, a former programmer at Digital Extremes, as well as a contributor to various entries in the Assassin’s Creed series, and a co-programmer on Baldur’s Gate II: Enhanced Edition.
The tweet comes courtesy of a reply to founder and CEO of Habitu8, Chad Loder, who is also a supporter of radical, anti-civil movements such as #BlackLivesMatter. Loder asked what was something an industry wasn’t ready to hear, and on September 29th, 2019, Randall replied with the following.
We don’t need the alt-right as customers and when we finally drive them away, gaming will improve for everyone. https://t.co/XQv4aI4ZT7

Frankly embarrassing that the industry hasn’t already done this, given how often their own employees are targeted.

This anti-consumer rhetoric isn’t too surprising from Randall, since back in late August he condemned free speech by saying that anyone willing to die on the hill of “hate speech” should just die.
If hate speech is your hill to die on, then by all means, die.

Randalls latest tweets, however, were not well received by right-thinking gamers who don’t believe in excluding the white race from industries just because it’s a fashionable talking point by most postmodernists.
Randall received some courageous pushback from users who are tired of this kind of discriminatory rhetoric being used to essentially diminish whites in gaming.
Good luck, trying to stay in business, with an attitude like this.
This is line of thinking of the reason, why the western game industry will collapse.
Thank goodness, Japanese developers don’t have this mindset. They just care about people having fun. pic.twitter.com/GnsqFYBLAH

You have an active audience who won’t stop leisuring themselves with entertainment, because there are people who don’t like to see them.
Also good luck picking out random movie goers as your “alt-right”. Pretty sure they all look like you and me.

The “alt right” is absurdly tiny, powerless and impotent in nearly every field; politics, gaming, tabletop, comic books, whatever.
What you’re talking about is purging anyone who disagrees with you.

thank god game devs will never listen to you, and if they do wonderful the western game industry will die. Japan will still be around not giving a single fuck about what you crazies have to say and that is the best possible outcome.

Randall fired back to the criticism, essentially pushing forward with the notion that the only sort of games that anyone who doesn’t kowtow to the regressive postmodernists will be stuck playing “progressive” games.
they can play anything they want. we just don’t listen to their rage against women and minorities, and tell them that those opinions are not valuable or meaningful. No one is stopping them from playing progressive games but themselves.

What he’s saying isn’t far off from the current reality of the situation, though.
Nearly every major AAA Western release is agitprop.
Strong, courageous, respectable, straight white males are now a rarity as leading men in Western games. Many are sidelined or undermined by POCs, or made into comically absurd villains (i.e., Horizon: Zero Dawn or Rise of the Tomb Raider).
Games that used to star the kind of characters normal gamers liked to play are either absent or replaced, like what happened with Gears 5, where the testosterone-driven, heavily masculine shooter franchise saw its straight white leads put on the back burner for a female POC. Although that shouldn’t have been much of a surprise given that it was part of Facebook’s very open social engineering program.
Nevertheless, even with developers openly attacking their own audience, openly advocating for “progressive” propaganda in gaming, and openly advocating for social engineering programs to subvert cultural norms, there are still Centrists out there who will keep defending the corrosion of Western culture under the heels of the regressive Left.
