  1. 26:39 Also relating to this point. Coming back to, say, fortnite every now and then, ain't much different from millennial's who still buy the latest cod. Except one's update is free, and the other is 60 bucks.

  2. 18:50 Scott is also missing a key point that a lot of people pushing for this stuff in games ALSO don't play these games. I mean, look at Concord. It was an HR Manager's wet dream and it completely flopped because NO ONE bought it, not even the people who were lauding it as a perfect example of Diversity and Inclusion. It's a power struggle between two groups who don't give a shit about games, but want gamers to agree with them. 90% of gamers do not give a shit if a character is or isn't lgbt/poc/whatever. They care if the game/story/characters are well written and well developed first and foremost.

  3. I think having a 5-minute segment about "wokeness" in video games was a mistake. It just invites the conversation and having it mainly be 5 minutes of strawman arguments just paints a picture of bad-faith. This is coming from someone who hates the anti-woke shit, btw.

  4. 24:40 also the big review companies like ign directly influencing salaries or bonuses of devs incentivises them to give 7/10 because 6/10 games the devs get 5k dollars withdrawn from their salaries…

  5. 3:20 adults have responsibilities, as long as those responsibilities are met and relationships are maintained – any hobby is free reign. There are games you can spend 45 minutes each evening playing.
    Theres the new Zeldas spexificslly designed to be 5-10 minute puzzles in the shrines so you could literally play 15 minutes while your newborn naps and then be back on diaper duty…

  6. I think another iconic glitch I would put at S tier would be SM64’s Backwards Long Jump, aka the BLJ. It’s got that funny energy, while being a huge cultural icon for speed running in general.

  7. "Woke" in gaming is too ambiguous a term since too many people have different definitions and lines to draw. However, I would say it becomes a problem when stuff like forced diversity and movement messenging is put into already established games/ip's for little to no reason other than pandering.
