I'm not referring to that specific post, I am making that statement based on the cumulative posts he's made in this thread and the games he's posted about.

No judgement btw, a lot of them are technically impressive games
Fair, I'm still trying to recover from the fustercluck of posts in this thread leading up to and after the release of Wukong where videos adjacent to Rev's content was being posted.

Crystal Dynamics is another game dev company whose products are sucking gravely with bland uninspired designs.

Video breakdown the difference of character designs in Marvel Rivals vs. Marvel Avengers which is a failed game where the characters look to me like some failed attempt to cosplay.

Starting to question the "talent" of Western game developers and where has the talent went.

Or it could just be that one of Rev's videos appeared on their homepage. Personally, I feel that Rev falls into the same category as Asmongold. His videos tend to focus on culture war drama to rile up "gamers" against perceived censorship or virtue signalling which cultivates a toxic viewership.


On the topic of the removal of Yostar's decision to remove the skins from Azur Lane's in-game shop, it appears to only impact the English/International servers (Japanese servers are unaffected), and those who already own the skins have nothing to worry about (the files are still in the game). Putting on a tinfoil hat, this is probably the result of a group or individual that holds a grudge against Azur Lane and reported to Google out of spite. The set of removed skins seems incredibly random when considering that there is no disernable pattern between the removed skins (other than being skimpy), and the plethora of other skins in the game which are arguably more questionable and explicit. I'm sure that Yostar has tried to appeal the ruling by Google Play, but they were unsuccessful. Nikke, another mobile game with scantily clad women, has never received any censorship updates so it's safe to assume that this isn't a case of Google Play waging some kind of "social justice crusade."

Just because Google hasn't given notices yet to Nikke, Snowbreak, etc,. doesn't mean they won't in the future. The same goes with Azure Lane's other costumes. The moment you start on this path, it will keep going once some activist knows they can use this as a weapon.

It also gets worst if one dev company feels getting singled out while another doesn't.

Which is a shame because they made some pretty good Tomb Raider games and are in the development of a new one along with a new perfect dark game. I'm actually looking forward to their new games but it seems their "uglification" is still being done. Have you seen the new Perfect Dark trailer? They did Joanna Dark so dirty. Reeks of "made for modern audiences". Still on the lookout for it though, gameplay wise, it looks decent.

On the same theme from an American artist:

China’s Marvel Rivals is DESTROYING America using their own IP’s​

I think game players see the sign of ugly characters is a good indication that the rest of the game, including the game play, isn't going to be good or mediocre. This isn't absolute. Failguard has ugly characters but game play seems okay. Not BM:W great but okay. First Descendant has sexy characters but gameplay is repetitive.

But so far, ugly characters is a consistent sign that the rest of the game is going to suck. It's much like if you see a car with bad build quality, it's a sign that mechanically it's not going to be as good either. If you don't pay attention and detail to the appearance and design of the characters, chances are you also don't pay attention to the gameplay and it's details, as well as the QC of the game, coding and everything in it. The customers of the gaming market can smell a lazy and disinterested product from a mile away.

There's high probability that Black Myth Wukong will be featured in this year's CNY gala on CCTV1. People have already noticed the mocap actor, the guy who did the songs for headless monk and other singers from the game are taking parts in rehearsals.
