Just weeks after helping to kick off what some are now calling GamerGate 2, legendary game dev and CEO Mark Kern put out a post on X calling all gamers to strike back against AAA studios.
How? By hitting woke companies in their wallets.

Some have pointed out that the ability to leverage skinsuit IPs for unlimited loans makes entertainment megacorps immune to boycotts.
But Kern dropped hints of insider information which, according to him, indicates that woke game studios are vulnerable.

Indeed, Kern’s call for a two-year moratorium on buying AAA games is reminiscent of a common mantra recited here:

In support of his moratorium, Kern cited the mass layoffs implemented by X CEO Elon Musk upon his purchase of Twitter.
Musk’s firing of 80 percent of the former Twitter’s employees is reported to have cost the company nothing of value while saving it from bankruptcy.
Wokists took over AAA game studios by prioritizing Death Cult messaging over money.
Gamers can fight back and win using the same strategy.
Answer Mark’s call.
Stop paying people that hate you, if only for two years, and see what a difference it makes. Not just to the industry, but to your soul.
