BY GAMERS, FOR GAMERS
It’s like if someone distilled the entire reactionary anti-woke gamer mindset into one picture, it’s amazing
The developers are all “cool” white guys with shades while the only women in the picture are anonymous blonde bikini babes only there for eye candy
It is worthy to note that by 1999, Interplay’s finances were absolutely in the pits, their critically beloved games and reliable licensed stuff were just not paying the bills for their atrocious management, and the whole company would move A) toward consoles and B) toward desperate cringe like this, in a failed attempt to “broaden their audience”. (to 18-34 white dudebros) This type of shit led to Fallout Brotherhood of Steel which has commercials, cutscenes and dialogue which is exactly as cringy :)
