The decline of gaming : effects of $/oil capitalism/intents
DEI content being pushed via gaming : is already known
I am about fighting games and 'characters'
I never understood the economics of it
i played 2/3 games at local sensei levels : sf, kof and 'violent storm' 😀
all these games : made by capcom/snk - all Japan
but last few iterations : sf5, kof 14+
has some stink of toilet paper and oil
khalifa characters : being introduced as 'main's
'rasheed' : was the protagonist for sf V 🤣
the country whose national food should be KFC
see, you cant really keep Dhalsim as rep of 1.5 B peeps in this age
yet have an imaginary googley glass wearing khalifa defying game mechanics and hence - laziness
no wonder oil is not good for body 😀
they fried the gaming world with their cheap oil intellect and 'vision'
hence this constant 'balancing' and weird non sensical new characters
hence : gorou : the mark of wolves.
rasheed : the all knowing, fast googley glass fantasy of green intellect, polluting the franchise..
no play.
further thoughts...
some rich khalifa owns these companies now...
that makes it 'easy' 😀
in sf - there was not a horizontal safe move - that seemed like a golden rule
whether its bison's psycho crusher, blanka ball or e honda's move
all very punishable by design and intents - risk reward
but here comes oil glistening rasheed : safe horizontal 'tides'...endless pressure and no risk
character design : show me 1 white tyre wearing khalifa who can jump or move in those white transparent bathrobes..
cant and wont : its physics.
