AVGN being furious about Dustborn (an undersold indie game) because it has queer non-white people in it is an absolute barrel-scraping low.
I guess we do know James Rolfe now. We just wish we didn't.

So weird to see AVGN and Stuttering Craig grow up to become anti-woke outrage peddlers.
You made brands for yourself making comedy about shitty games and grew into shitty people

If you have the time, you should watch the Dan Olson and Lady Emily videos on James Rolfe. Very revealing.
So, while I can believe that Rolfe might have taken a gig from an ex colleague without keeping an eye on him, he is still associated with an RW grifter.
..but we can still all agree that concord was poopy dogwater
As if grifting wasn’t already lucrative enough, now they’ve got a thumbs up from the government and several companies under America.
I've never personally watched him but watched Folding ideas' video on James and that brought up him hiring a 3rd party to write stuff for him, but not sure if that's still ongoing.
As for Concord, there were a lot of character designs that aren't anime waifus with big titties and that rubs some people up the wrong way.
I'm more upset about Justin Silverman's involvement in this shitshow
To me it seems he just signed on to do a segment for and not really researching what he's signing up for. This itself IS a problem worth criticizing, but I think the OP is being a bit disingenuous in their wording.
He probably should.
And don't get me wrong, I think Dustborn is shit. I watched the entire YMS (@yms.bsky.social) playthrough live and that game is written like a CW show and has really dull gameplay/combat.
but for real, jesus christ how disappointing. It's like mourning a death but instead of lighting a funeral pyre, you just want to set them on fire where they stand.
I guess not.
They're still updating the game, still promoting it, still proud of it. And that makes racists mad
They're all games hated on SPECIFICALLY because they contained black, gay and/or trans people.
Not for anything to do with them as games. Just because they're seen as beacons of diversity
All the more ridiculous that 3 are corporate fluff
it was all user voted, so that's the audience they're courting
The idea that videogame can exist, made for its own sake, and have its creators be proud of it boils their piss like nothing else.
Go buy it.
I also got harrassed for a month solid for writing this article. Just TALKING about it got bigots mad
I think forspoken emboldened them.
Amazing when you consider that showcasing undersold indie games is LITERALLY MY JOB.
They'd then just repeat what they already said.
I even made a video about this ridiculous experience with haters called "The Dustborn Drama".
You know what's weird? Nobody's ever thrown a fit about all the gay that exists in Borderlands games (since at least #2). That kind of stuff is just matter-of-fact in that setting, and in a series that goes for low-hanging comedy fruit it never went there.
and thats it
Now the real game awards probably arent doing that, but still.
It doesn't help ur point when you just blatantly make stuff up about why people didn't like those games
... you can imagine how the incel anti-woke chuds reacted to that.
You can also choose to be trans
Only game that's ever given me this option and I was flat out blown away
I'd probably be playing it right now if it didn't chug so much. I could play AC Mirage just fine but this stutters
overall the story is focused firmly on healing and moving on, which is a bar too high for some people.
also i played BG3 for months before this, and having this game now that chooses not to punish me narratively? yeah, i don't think i can go back.
Irate gamer is a plagerist
Scott the woz is a virgin
Accept it, at the end of the day I only care about the games
James though never struck me as someone with reason to care so that's just weird.
But of course they can't because that's the grift. Easy video, easy money.
among the things presented there was "worst journalist" with no surprise who won given the grifters targeting her, presenter saying she's just here for the "money and clout"??
Claimed it would be a privilege to be featured on the show.
So yeah, more gross hack shit because he was too scared to talk to actual developers.
Literally the way we found out this show even exists is by disappointed people on BlueSky
But, I know enough people who lack the luxury of dangerous bigotry that I don't really care about the color of the soul of someone who hanging with RW grifters.
If I had respect left to lose for James I would have lose more here too.
And also admit that he just read a script and didn't make a minimum basic research.
That said, never heard of Dustborn as I looked at the trailer, I'm confused about what the game is really about. Have you or anyone else ever played it?

I haven't really followed the dude for a while but slipping into right wing grifter content sucks big ass.
He's an empty-headed, malleable, feeble minded autist.
He'll say anything he's told to
He doesn't care about online clout, and is running on auto-pilot at this pt.
I don't think there's much weight to his words in this instance, but, still, shut the fuck up James. Idiot
