My Life As A Gamer: This Delay Might As Well Be Cancellation

Arch delivers the new on the next Vampire videogame.

In case you forgot or missed it, this is the sequel to Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines and is based on the tabletop RPG of the same name. Paradox Interactive, the company behind this game, also owns the TRPG, and being SJWs they're putting in all the Death Cult cant that Current Year demands regardless of audience expectation (or tolerance), and on cue said audience told them to fuck off with that bullshit.

Being a wholly converged company, it cannot competently execute its purported excuse for being anymore. This means that the announcement of delaying release until 2021 can be reasonably taken as recognition that they fucked up, they're using Corona-chan as a face-saving excuse, and they hope to have a more favorable release next year when this (in theory) all blows over.

Hah, no.

2020 is not an aberrant year. 2020 is a paradigm-shifting year. Most of the world will admit this once the second Trumpslide hits this November, by which time it will be far too late to change its cascading effects going forward. The raging insanity of SJWs over the first term of the God-Emperor's reign will only increase, making it even harder for SJWs like Paradox to keep their shit together long enough to put out a half-assed playable demo and charge you $60 or more for it. The poz in the game's narrative and mechanics will only get worse, as will the tone-deaf skreetching at you to "pay up, piggie, or you're wacist" or something that passes for a marketing campaign.

Don't expect this to be worth the time if it's ever released. The tabletop game certainly isn't.

That's why I say this might as well be cancellation. There is no way a studio run by and dominated by mentally ill Death Cultists can not go full-tilt Bozo after November, despite being over in northern Europe, and thus make it too difficult to meet their new delayed deadline. They might as well pack it in now and check into the loony bin before all the beds are taken.

Because if they persist, we're going to--at best--get some stuff that makes the original Anne Rice fanfic that was VTM's 1st edition look like timeless literature. We're talking Fake Trek, Mouse Wars, etc. levels of suck and blow- we're talking 2016 Fembusters levels of bad. They've already fired the original fanbase, so this looks like a shitshow all right.

It's more of the demolition we've seen already. They hate you. Don't give them your money.

I'll take it. The campaign for "Hounds of Nimrod" is in its final hours and we aren't at the Stretch Goal. The link is here.
