Woke Video Game Developer BioWare Shuts Down In Humiliating Failure

Woke Video Game Developer BioWare Shuts Down In Humiliating Failure

The video game industry is collapsing in 2026 under the weight of their own arrogance and stupidity, and the "chuds" are cheering.  Why?  Because this is what needs to happen before better companies and better games can be made.  The people who ruined the hobby with their politics need to lose their jobs and be exiled from the business.  

Around 13,000 games developers are slated to be fired this year alone.  Since 2022, the industry has cut over 57,000 workers due to imploding revenues and lack of consumer interest.  Microsoft, Sony, Ubisoft, EA and a dozen other studios are cleaning house and booting out the rubbish. 

The most recent example is the large Xbox cuts to ultra-woke Bethesda Softworks.  Their layoffs (reportedly close to 440 workers) triggered socialist protests and accusations of discrimination against LGBT and minority employees.

The vast majority of these layoffs are being blamed on "restructuring", but the restructuring was caused by a plunge in gamer interest.  And the decline in gamer interest is part of an ongoing boycott of woke propaganda in games.  This is something the political left will never admit to, but the fact remains that the majority of developers who get woke, ultimately go broke.  In other words, the majority of woke products fail. 

Gaming studio Bioware, a veteran company in the industry, did not learn this lesson soon enough.  Bioware officially announced this week that after 30 years, they will be shutting down.  

The company dove headfirst into woke virtue signaling around 2016-2017 and it was all downhill from there.  Critics say the final nail in the coffin was the game Dragon Age: Veilguard, which is widely considered one of the most ridiculously homosexual games ever produced.  The game was so notorious, it is still the subject of internet mockery to this day.  

For anyone with common sense, it's easy to see why the company is being scrapped by parent company Electronic Arts (EA).  Veilguard was the last game they published before they hit rock bottom.  Industry shill and activists initially claimed that Veilgaurd sales were doing well, despite evidence to the contrary.  The estimated cost of development and marketing was around $250 million, and it took around 9 years to make. 

After release, most estimates suggest the game pulled in less than $50 million in total sales.  An utter disaster.   

At its historical peak, BioWare employed around 500 people. By the time of the October 2026 closure announcement the remaining staff was around 50 people, all of them are now being laid off.  The lesson here is clear:  The progressive invasion of gaming media was a disaster for these companies. 

Those who want to survive past 2026 need to accept an undeniable reality - The consumers own you, you do not own them.  You cannot force gamers to buy your products. You cannot shame them into opening their wallets. Games are not a platform for your degenerate fanfiction.  They are not a platform for your personal politics. The "modern audience" you are trying to appeal to does not exist. You cannot win. 

Either make games that the people you call "chuds" enjoy, or go broke and get replaced.  It's that simple.

The totalitarian impulse never left Germay

Germany Plans To Force Social Media Platforms To Fill 20% Of Algorithmic Reccs With 'State-Approved' Content

Authored by - Remix News Staff - via Remix News,

Germany's federal states are proposing that social media platforms reserve at least 20 percent of algorithmic recommendations for content from a pool of approved media outlets deemed important for opinion diversity, according to a draft under public consultation. The proposed measure is already being slammed as a state-mandated propaganda effort that would force German citizens to view content friendly to the ruling establishment parties.


The measure is part of the second stage of a planned Digital Media State Treaty developed by the Broadcasting Commission of the Federal States. Under the draft, public broadcasters such as ARD, ZDF and Deutschland Radio would automatically qualify for certain offerings.

Meanwhile, private outlets would generally need to apply and demonstrate that they meet criteria including news and political reporting, information and educational content, documentaries, local or regional coverage, original journalistic production, editorial staffing and accessibility standards. Approvals would be decided by the 14 state media authorities.

In other words, the state wants to control what people are seeing in their feeds.

As the Berliner Zeitung reports, the media law involves "media quotas with an advantage for ARD and ZDF," which are two state broadcasters that already have a massive advantage over private competitors. Both outlets, which are notoriously in favor of mass migration and known for their anti-AfD bias, and which employ virtually all left-wing journalists, are already known for not playing on a level playing field.

Austrian remigration activist Martin Sellner, along with other right-leaning accounts, already are warning about the new plans.

The rule would apply to algorithmic recommendations shown to users, such as in feeds or under videos on platforms including Instagram and X. Content drawn from the approved pool would still be selected according to the platforms' algorithms and user interests. Officials have framed the quota as a way to protect journalistic content from being sidelined by engagement-driven material.

However, skepticism is obviously abundant.

"And who gets this golden seal of quality for preferential playback completely automatically? Of course, the public broadcasters. Private publishers, on the other hand, get to play the supplicants and politely apply for the status at the so-called "state-independent" media authorities. A rogue mind thinks evil of it," wrote commentator Bernd Kaiser.

"If you want to exchange views on X in the future, the algorithm will soon forcibly serve you the curated explainer journalism from Tagesschau - right between your friends' posts. They're selling us this unprecedented market intervention as 'Public Value,' but it's a blatant attempt to secure air superiority over online discourse," he added.

The draft was released for public comment in late September 2026, with submissions accepted until Nov. 13. It builds on an existing "public value" system that already grants preferential placement to certain media apps in app stores and on smart-TV interfaces. Some private broadcasters, such as those already holding "public-value" status, would also be eligible for the pool.

The Berliner Zeitung, a private newspaper, noted that state-funded broadcasters could expand their visibility relative to private competitors that rely on advertising or subscriptions. Critics have also pointed out that the criteria emphasize structural and production features of outlets rather than the range of viewpoints in individual posts, and that there is limited evidence the specific 20 percent threshold would increase actual diversity of perspectives.

The Digital Media State Treaty is being prepared in two parts. The first, focused largely on implementing European Union rules including aspects of the AI Act, has already advanced. Part two remains a discussion draft and would require agreement by the governments and subsequent ratification by the parliaments of all 16 German states before it could take effect.

Media regulation in Germany is primarily a responsibility of the states under the country's dual public-private broadcasting system.

Close Oxfam down...enough of this anti white racist crap

Racist? UK Charities Are Paying White People A Third Less Than Ethnics

Authored by Steve Watson via Modernity.news,

Oxfam paid its white staff a median of 33% less than colleagues who described themselves as black or a person of colour last year, according to the charity's own annual report. Cancer Research UK and the British Red Cross reported similar negative ethnicity pay gaps in favour of ethnic minority staff.

The figures, drawn from the organisations' voluntary disclosures, have prompted questions about how "positive action" provisions in the Equality Act 2010 are being applied in practice. Critics argue the measures, intended to address under-representation, are producing outcomes that disadvantage white employees in recruitment, promotion and pay.

Oxfam's ethnicity pay gap stood at -33.0% on the median and -12.9% on the mean, based on data from 69.2% of staff who shared their ethnicity. Black or people of colour (BPOC) staff made up 10.5% of the workforce. The median gap had been -10.4% the previous year.

The charity noted that a higher proportion of staff in the top two pay quartiles disclosed their ethnicity, and that lower overall numbers of BPOC colleagues "may be driving a skew in the pay gap." It stated the figures "cannot be seen as conclusive" but were "suggestive of lower average pay at the charity for white workers."

A spokesman for Oxfam said the organisation was "committed to fair, inclusive recruitment practices that value diversity and ensure everyone has the opportunity to thrive. We do not operate a policy of positive discrimination," adding that the "reported ethnicity pay gap is not evidence of unequal pay for the same work."

Cancer Research UK reported that white staff were paid 7.6% less on average in 2025. The charity has recorded a negative gap in favour of ethnic minority employees since 2020, though it said the figure is now "the closest to being neutral it has ever been."

It attributed much of the disparity to a higher proportion of white staff in lower-paid high-street retail roles and a larger share of ethnic minority staff in higher-paying positions such as technology.

The British Red Cross reported an 11.4% gap in favour of ethnic minority staff. Racially minoritised colleagues made up 19.6% of its workforce. A spokesman said the charity's "priority is to ensure people are paid fairly for the work they do and that our workforce reflects the communities we serve" and that it was committed to equal pay "regardless of ethnicity."

James Wild, the Shadow Culture Minister, said individuals "should be rewarded for their talent and hard work, regardless of their background or ethnicity." He added: "Fairness means ensuring everyone has an equal opportunity to succeed, not preferential treatment or discrimination that puts others at an unfair disadvantage. Pay should be based on merit, skills and performance, rather than factors beyond anyone's control."

Suella Braverman, Reform UK's Equalities Spokesman, described the results as "the Equality Act laid bare. Rampant positive action schemes are actively discriminating against white, working-class Brits in favour of ethnic minorities, leading to certain groups gaining an upper hand when it comes to the jobs market. This is simply unacceptable. We cannot live in a society that values thoughts and feelings over merit."

Lord Young of Acton, founder of the Free Speech Union, said: "The positive action section of the Equality Act has become a get-out-of-jail-free card for any employer who wants to discriminate against white people. I expect we'll see much more of this once the reporting requirement becomes mandatory."

Under the Equality Act, positive action allows proportionate steps to address disadvantage or under-representation connected to a protected characteristic. It is distinct from positive discrimination, which remains unlawful.

Critics contend that in practice the distinction is being blurred in hiring and advancement decisions. A forthcoming government requirement will compel organisations with more than 250 staff to publish ethnicity and disability pay gap reports; currently such disclosures are voluntary.

A Broader Pattern

The charity figures sit within a series of documented cases in which white applicants or employees have faced restrictions or differential treatment in public and quasi-public bodies.

What makes a third world country: Building collapses are a recurring problem in Nairobi..County officials responsible for issuing building permits have been accused of failing to conduct adequate inspections to ensure developers comply with safety guidelines and construction standards.


Multi-story building collapses in Kenya, leaving many feared trapped under the rubble

NAIROBI, Kenya — Many people were feared trapped as a tall building collapsed Friday in Kenya’s capital, leaving a huge mound of concrete and more than a dozen floors stacked like pancakes, with little space between them.

The building was under construction when it collapsed at about 1 p.m. along a busy commercial street in Nairobi’s Eastleigh area, which is often crowded with thousands of traders and residents.

Nairobi police chief Issa Mohamud said the building had more than 10 upper floors under construction. Rescue operations were complicated, with police firing tear gas at people who had begun looting neighboring shops, as officers sought to clear the area and provide access to emergency response teams.

Many people are feared to be trapped under the rubble on the busy street.

Joseph Kaula made it out just in time.

A plasterer working on the fifth floor, he said he heard screams and spotted other workers rushing outside, shouting that the building was collapsing.

“I was the last person to walk out before it collapsed and the whole area was filled with dust,” Kaula said.

Kaula suspects a few of his colleagues were trapped in the basement.

One injured woman was rescued and hospitalized, and another person who was crying for help had gone silent, the police chief said.

Mohamud also warned of a possible secondary collapse, as the collapsed building was leaning on its neighbor.

There was little in the way of heavy equipment immediately available. 

Hours later, a group of rescuers in hard hats were using poles stripped from trees to poke at the huge pile of rubble. 

One excavator began to move concrete bound with steel away. 

By evening, at least two more back shovels arrived.

Rescuers were hoping to reach into any spaces left in the basement and the ground level, which had been rented out for an electronics shop, a butchery and a grocery while construction continued on the upper floors.

Residents said some of their loved ones who were trapped had made phone calls calling for help immediately after the collapse, but that their phones later became unreachable. 

A tent was set up where people could report the missing. 

How many might be inside the wreckage wasn’t known.

Building collapses are a recurring problem in Nairobi. 

County officials responsible for issuing building permits have been accused of failing to conduct adequate inspections to ensure developers comply with safety guidelines and construction standards.

“Investigations will be carried out,” Mohamud said. “We’ll make sure people face the law for any negligence.”
