Phil Spencer, the head of Xbox, tweeted a link to a Polygon article written by John Flynt with the bullshit claim that Lara Croft has gone from just a sex symbol to a proper gaming icon.

Any fellow SEGA fans around during the Saturn era will know that Tomb Raider was eagerly anticipated as a revolutionary new 3D action-adventure game (and Saturn console exclusive until the announcement of a Playstation port late in development) and nobody gave a shit about the sex of the character before it was released. Then when it was released it was widely regarded as an awesome game because of the gameplay regardless of the playable character.

All the "sex symbol" stuff mostly started with the casting of Rhona Mitra as the original Lara Croft for marketing and people were talking about her rather than Lara in the game, then the "sexy Lara" thing was pushing for marketing future games. Not that anyone should have problems with "sex symbols" anyway. (Other than the fact that even the pre-rendered Lara in those days didn't look sexy at all, so anybody playing Tomb Raider because they fancied a low-poly female character would be a total freak.)

Of course he's going to tweet about that article since it's positive PR for one of the few exclusives the xbone has (even if it is timed). I was a kid during the time that Tomb Raider came out and from what I remember everyone plugging the game focused on the gameplay portion of it (because that's what convinced me to buy it). I only remember the sex symbol stuff as a reaction to the game's popularity; kind of like how a great movie can turn a nobody actor into an A-lister.

There are plenty of Tomb Raider articles that aren't by John Flynt. I meant to add these old links/pics but forgot.

What? Did he branch out from shitty mobile games into propaganda now? Because why the fuck would people pay Flynt to make a game for them (unless Microsoft is just that fucking desperate for games on the xbone).

Gentlemen

This is the power of networking

This is the power of playing the PR game

This is the power of appearing to be legitimate even when you are illegitimate

This power rightfully belongs to us not Literally wu

Cultural marxists are in control of the institutions. The only PR we can have is literally PR, direct relations to the general public. Companies like Microsoft aren't going to help. Why do you think pro-GG Xbox devs had to speak out anonymously whilst anti-GGers at Microsoft spoke out under their own names? We must not "tone down" or pander to anyone for the sake of "PR". We just spread the facts to as many people as we can and if some of them can't handle the truth then it's their problem not ours.

There's nothing wrong with using PR to our advantage even the Hiro 4chan's new owner realized,that's why he made 3 new boards for them that way they will not see him as that guy that was accused of data mining his own users but that guy who gave us boards we begged moot to give but he refused because moot is a cock guy.

As if I needed more reasons not to buy anything Xbox ever. Thanks for the heads up anyway though. It's good to keep tabs on where the degenerate parasites wind up so everyone can avoid giving them money.

Make a #PR Op honestly, there is value to both arguments and then the people passionate about whichever one can join that side. There is not a company in the world without dirty laundry that shows its private face to everyone…why should a chan with some focused goals that are about saving vidya and not making money be any different.

You know what, at this point, I'm completely fine with burning the entire industry, from the top on down. I've been gaming for the better part of three decades and I've never seen so much of this half-finished, "Triple A" shit being forced into everyone's face so hard.

Gaming culture is now in it's decline. Once marketing executives realized this generation was a multi-billion dollar cash cow, they instantly had garbage developers flood the market with over-hyped, bugged bullshit while drowning bloggers in cash to rate their games amazing so these normalfag, retard investors of these corporations could be convinced that shit was actually Prime Rib and see a significant monetary return.

We're past saving it. Rome is fucking burning.

Your personal choice will affect this outcome. There are legitimately talented studios that don't pander to the forever-problematic, rainbow-pissing, fart-sniffing special snowflakes. These are the people you should support. Eventually, when indie-smarm becomes completely unprofitable and hipster welfare goes tits up, all of these SJW band-wagoners inside Sony, Microsoft, etc, will hop off the Bluehair Express and again reflood the market to pander to whatevers trendy.

This may be an ideological war, but never forget that this also has and always will be a fight for your wallet.

You hold these gluttonous fuckers at financial gunpoint.

It's time to pull the trigger.

"Saved". Amongst all the verbs you could have picked to describe the change made to a character's personality, you picked "saved".

"Hey guys, remember when we pushed Lara Croft off the cliff with our narrative in hope to see her die? Well, Crystal Dynamics saved her from us".

Just about everyone who worked in the industry during the golden age still works in it, and now people who grew up with the golden age work in it too, and yet look at how fucked up things are. So imagine what the industry will be like when those people pass away, move on, fade away and so on, and all that's left are people who grew up with watching PewDiePie, playing Five Nights at Freddy's, etc.

Things are going to continue getting worst. A crash unfortunately won't save anything, it'll just speed up the process with how much worst things will get.

I'm ready for the future where there is no longer any games worth caring about so I stick to older stuff (that includes older multiplayer games with community ran servers and older MMOs via private servers, so I don't have to play stuff that requires you to use your full name publicly because the government will force that law), where I only use older computer parts instead of newer computers that have government backdooring/surveillance shit built into them, exclusively go on the internet with TOR or whatever, use whatever non-corporate Linux distro for going online and older Windows operating systems for most games, etc.

Cyberpunk life, here I come.

You know it's tragically funny how they went from DRM shit to giving away Backwords Compatibility through physical discs.
