>Electronic Arts hire Amy "Uncharted" Hennig >Respected industry veteran, 50 year old female game director >Hennig announced to direct singleplayer Star Wars project >Gamers (vast majority male) rejoice and celebrate news >They couldn't have picked a more qualified choice for the job >All quiet, game thought to be in development, taking their time >Suddenly EA shuts down Visceral Games, Amy loses job >Outrage at EA's practices and closing down studios >Condemnation of treatment of a distraught Hennig >Huge sympathy from gaming community
The very same people who are absolutely disgusted at how Amy Hennig's talents have gone to waste and mourned the loss of an interesting Star Wars narrative focused game that will never see the light under the direction of a female director.
They're the same people who get accused of hating The Last Jedi because they must hate women.
Alt-political spectrum brainlets always resort to name calling, because being rational makes them feel stupid. The left being the worse offenders, trotting out gender war bulkshit as a sheild. EA used the same tactic to pillory gamers for being homophobes about DA:I, but I'm a fag and I hated it. David Gayder is a fat neckbeard fag who has never touched a dick, his romance writing is trash and honestly I'd rather not have any gay romance options than shit ones which potray negative stereotypes about gay people, i.e. "I know we've just met, but that's a likely looking bale of hay. Shall we? "(Renegade) Uh, no."

I take solace in the fact that the people standing up for individualism and against identity politics are all the groups the left caters too. I even know trannies that don’t want to be normalized. Honestly I didn’t even care about race until they all started making a big deal about it and I saw the double standards they had with white men. I could always play the disability card despite my white skin, love of pussy, and faith in Jesus Christ but that’s not what I want to stand out for. The left is ruing everything sacred even to those they claim to represent.
Dominic Reyes
>>Outrage at EA's practices and closing down studios
They're like a fucking grinder, they should have seen this coming. EA leaves nothing but the tombstones of good game companies in their wake.
>They're the same people who get accused of hating The Last Jedi because they must hate women.
Same shit during GG. If you started playing games in the 90s you've already played games made by women and starring female protagonists and there was never a fucking word about it.
Misogyny and racism are just deflecting shields, complete corporate defense policies.

yes we do. The question is does kathleen Kennedy. Or does she have amnesia like all sjw
Jaxson Morales
Uncharted 4 was pretty good but too often I felt it was missing the right balance of gameplay and storytelling of the first three.
I think there's more than EA's decision to shut it down. Maybe in years down the line we'll hear Disney and Kennedy's story group didn't approve.
Caleb Wilson

She fucked up. Sloppy development and nothing to show for. They probably salvaged the best parts. I'm more pissed that 1313 got shafted. We will never see Nar Shaddaa again lads.

Benjamin Kelly
Not really feeling the game anyway. I want a strategy or rpg. Where are the smaller star wars titles? I don't want a console uncharted/assassins creed type game. Give me the pc games.
Jackson Nguyen
no way. Dead Space I & II were solid games and Visceral had proved itself a very capable studio up until then even when tasked to pump out a shitty Battlefield game quickly they achieved it. I think we've missed out on possibly the finest ever Star Wars game and it would've put JJ and Rian's stories to shame.

The alt left are way worse than the alt right, because the left white knights for them whereas the right are embarrassed by the alt right. That means that alt left nutjob opinions are amplified and are far more insidious.

they may not go under that name but they certainly exist as foes. throw in a couple of keywords into Twitter and search for opinions on TLJ. the absolute state of people cheering good riddance at the thought of star wars losing it's fan base of white males. a hashtag a month ago was #starwarshatespoc and it will leave your jaw hitting the floor. there's no pleasing these people.
Jordan Robinson
Good in a TLOU kind of way, a MGS kind of way or a Dark Souls kind of way?

Even if these people aren't just a vocal minority, alt-right people are actively in the white house and make up a good chunk of Trump's base, so your argument is pointless. One has a real chance to negatively effect policy. The other lives purely on the internet.

The alt left is a catch all term for the loose alliance of communists, anarchists, democrats and SJWs who are currently pushing authoritarian, far left viewpoints and engaging in political violence against the right wing. Kinda like how the alt right are a loose amalgamation of libertarians, republicans, centralists and literal nazis who who cucked the republicans establishment out of power.
Levi Turner

No gamer worth their salt gives a shit about her doing the Uncharted games. Now the Legacy of Kain series she did was pure kino.
Should let her write an entire Star Wars trilogy.

Fuck EA. I feel sorry for Amy because she probably fell for their bullshit of giving all control, of pampering her team etc They have done this for years, and people for some reason still genuinely (I'm telling the truth, for I have seen for myself a honest game dev fall for it irl) fall for it for some reason.
Camden Ramirez
I don't It would almost certainly be ruined.
Brayden Price

She suffers from internalized misogyny. EA embraces diversity. If they fired her, it's because she's a racist or sexist.

>potray negative stereotypes about gay people, >i.e. "I know we've just met, but that's a likely looking bale of hay. Shall we?
That's the truth, though. And we are heading in a direction men can't deny having a relationship with transwomen because that's bigotry, so he's seem negative by them and the population.
I guess BioWare tried to red pill people ahead of the time.
Wyatt Myers
>which potray negative stereotypes about gay people, i.e. "I know we've just met, but that's a likely looking bale of hay. Shall we?
Does it cease being a stereotype if it's completely true? You absolutely cannot have two gay men in a public toilet together at the same time.
Zachary Jackson
Ignorant as fuck, you haven't got a clue what you're talking about. Hennig is one of the most respected people in the industry going back decades.
Look at it this way, ND can only employ one lead writer for U4, they're forced to demote someone. They ultimately decide to go with Bruce Straley and Neil Druckmann are responsible for the most award winning game ever The Last of Us. An absolute masterpiece.
Even though they've put a Druckmann in charge of the project people were still hugely disappointed Hennig was forced out. That says a hell of a lot. She's held in that high as standard.

YOU DO KNOW MOST OF THE LEADS that did Dead Space 1 and 2 left after 3 to form Red Barrels !!!!! THE PEOPLE LEFT AT VISCERAL were of lower caliber than the older guys
a STUDIO is good because of the key people that work there, devs and leads
if a dev and lead leaves a game studio then the dynamic changes!!!

There are exceptions to every rule, this is one success among many failures and I will admit this
Don't let the left fool you, not all gay people are degenerate.

>co-written
nah Leigh Brackett wrote the first draft of the script, which was a lot different from the final product, and died in 1978. Lucas brought Kasdan on to rewrite it and the finished film is pretty much what was on the page (dialogue changes excluded). Brackett was given a co-writing credit out of respect by Lucas.

Disney is probably going to revoke EA's Star Wars License at some point and depending how the Avengers game goes sell it to Square Enix, Disney should have opened their own video game studio years ago or expanded Lucasarts
as Hennig and Visceral, Leopards don't change their spots, EA's a wood chipper but they'll land of their feet, Legacy of Kain and Uncharted names carry tremendous weight

Nolan Morgan
You don't know what you are talking about. People were happy about this game because it was a SP done by Amy in the SW universe. EA knew it too and used her, until they decided that loot boxes mattered more. When it was cancelled people went bitter af.
Amy hennig made a series where the main character is an alpha white guy with a hot girlfriend. The girlfriend happened to kick ass too and was actually likeable, but it wasn't forced at all. She is the antithesis of the Hollywood sjw producer
Gabriel Rogers
>Disney should have opened their own video game studio years ago they had one but shut it down in 2016
Dominic Brooks
Disney used to have their own video game subsidiary: Disney Interactive. And Lucas Arts used to both develop and publish games. Disney Interactive was mostly shut down, and Lucas Arts laid off their staff and serves as a licensing firm that exists only to manage the Star Wars game license.
I think Disney wanted out of the video game industry and licensing their IP's was the easiest way to get out, while still getting a share of those sweet vidya gaem bux.
Luke Gomez
It's almost like this narrative you're painting is shit and all we wanted was a fucking video game made by someone with a decent reputation.
