i wonder when the gaming world won't be White anymore
I'm not looking forward to it as much as REAL REALER REALEST issues such as governments and politicians and company CEOs getting what they deserve and Palestine being free but I'm still very interested.
By "gaming world" I mean games media, game industry, streamers, etc. Anyone talking about games, making games, and even simply playing games. It's much harder to do any of these things when living in a country that is bombed by USA! USA! USA! directly or indirectly. That's the extreme example. But as a whole, the current switch with everyone being independent and being financed by subscriptions is a broad, perfect example of the issue. In theory it's a great thing, but as of now it only favors those who were already established for decades. And they're overwhelmingly White.
I wrote a very long post about all this two years ago but never published it. Maybe I'll publish it in the next few weeks insha Allah. I'll probably censor it and put a slightly uncensored version for tier 2 ko-fi subs only. In the meanwhile I already shared some tidbits here and there.

But yeah TLDR, at this rate, one day the gaming world will one hundred percent be only for the Rich and White, the Privileged and White-minded. Not only newer releases, but older games as well. Because you could just say "I'm gonna play old games via emulation so I don't care about new releases on the PS15 costing 200$ each" but seeing the current wave of copyrights, censorship, and internet surveillance, trying to silence solidarity and humanity, politicians and companies could start going Destiny Plan any day now and launch a full-scale attack on emulation too. But well no use worrying about something that hasn't happened yet. We 'll see insha Allah. (I hate sharing spoilers but I hate Gundam Seed Destiny so I don't mind spoiling it. The original Gundam Seed is actually good though, and I liked the Freedom movie as well.)
