The director of Dustborn, and CEO of Red Thread Games, recently gave an interview where he tried to gaslight gamers, saying that actually Dustborn was a success and that the game was never ‘woke.’ This is obviously a delusion and / or a lie, and the numbers bear this out. Gaslighting is the last resort of bitter, angry people who can’t let go of a lie they told themselves.

"People here don't like politics in their entertainment." – Actual line said by a cop in 'Dustborn'
“We didn’t make a game that’s primarily about politics.” -L̶i̶a̶r̶ CEO
I guess the cop was supposed to be in the right, which is appropriate because I've played a few games where you can fight and kill cops…And this "game" makes me want nothing more than to PLAY AS A COP in this world just so I can kill these annoying hypocritical stereotypes that the devs call "main characters" (especially, the bigots that hate robots).
…So much for 'Dustborn' being "The New nroP" (That's a reference to an ACTUAL SONG LYRIC in the "game").
Wow just made a connection with all these nose ringed people i had been seeing in real life. 😳
You almost want people like this to keep doing what they're doing just so we can sit back and watch how far down the rabbit hole their delusional crazy goes in the products they "create" as the wonderfully talented snowflake artists they are. Can't wait to see their next one.
Even if the amount of my taxmoney spend on this game is very small, I still feel robbed
It was the dancing for me 2:15 ⭐

Amazing how they made a game where you want to root for the 'villains' to win.
This guy took a step out of the echo chamber for 10 seconds, then ran screeching back in after soiling themselves.
I got a question, why these billion dollar companies need external companies to seek creative ideas and narrative? Isn't it better to have own department for such work? Unless I am wrong and don't understand how a business works , hiring own team since it a permanent business would be a better approach. No? How these big giants were creating narrative before Sweet Baby?
You know, the game takes place in such a terrible fascist regime that when stopped by border patrol, they sing a song about how they intend to uproot the regime and how the people who live there "their time is up" and instead of instantly being executed, the "fascist" border guards…give them a visa, explain how to avoid prison, and give recommendations for their safety.
This game since above DEI infected NEXT!!!
To what you said at 4:42, give the dev a little credit, he could just simply be THAT obtuse. No dev ever wants to admit that they worked on a turd, even to themselves.
Don't forget what's included with the women for the, 'moooodern audience,' besides the skin condition, oversized glasses, multi color hair, obese, ring nose, and manly acting and looking girl boss, they love the pigeon nose, lol, looking like Tucan Sam, lol. And they wonder why those kinds of, 'games,' don't sell.
This is what happens when you never leave your comfort zone. You never engage with people that have a different viewpoint. Google and Twitter will parrot back to you exactly what you want to hear unless actively look for different viewpoints. It makes you really stupid . Use your head for more than a hat rack.
"Nobody wants to live in a police state" says the ideology that's making us live in a police state, I would like to ask him what he thinks of our UK government then, we can't even talk in pubs they want censorship even when you go out and talk .
Mate you were totalky right when you said that those people can differenciate between woke and non woke. They are damaged, their politcs are known for showing gisgutlingly saggy tits on fag parties not for actual work they done. Also they are known for fact that their politics are all shitbrown nozhinz that actual norwegian look like. Woke rot went deep in this nation brain.
I am guilty, I DID NOT PURCHASE THIS GAME!!!!
Love how Ragnar would not reveal sales numbers and never will. Success my ass. Prove it with the sales numbers Ragnar or else you are just blowing smoke.
2% hells Angel,
0,02% woke DEi bullshit
"There is nothing political about this game" – CEO
So an Antifa Simulator isn't political?
Radical feminists and trans activists in the gaming industry are shocked that they are now getting the same treatment as Bud Light, Target, John Deere, Harley Davidson and so many others, but they need to get used to it. Public opinion is just not on their side, no matter how badly they wish it was.
How are the police being fEEceSts here, when they're just doing their job of maintaining the order of things, which the group of delinquent, commie lefturds you play as, wants to destroy that, cause as much destruction as possible in the name of "FweeDoM!!!"?
You still think is being "successful" despite all the controversies in it? Ok then game director. Show me the sales numbers for this game. If it's being soo successful, then you wouldn't even hold back information such as the sales number reports.
But you're not going to show those, because you know that the game is falling faster than 2 lego towers, isn't that right?
6:16
Oh great… It's another "But MuH feeCseet ReGeme!!!" trope. Great choice of words, which aren't generic at all lol.
And you say you weren't pushing any political agenda into the game? Then please, enlighten me how this game got funded by government agencies. Seems highly suspicious imo.
Every time I see the one character I'm like "Beltalowdah!". They actually got the female lead from The Expanse to sign on.
I wasn't looking at the screen when the music starting playing….i thought an ad for a cheap mobile game popped up 😂 wow this game is fucked
Remember, kids… 'War is Peace', 'Freedom is Slavery,' and 'Ignorance is Strength'
The reason the Woke speak like they do is because the Woke "identity" resides within their genitals.
Hail Doctor Disaster 🖖🏽
Sometimes it's hard to take criticism. But taking criticism is the only way you can grow and change. However to truly grow you need to want it.
The Modern Audience can be found in the ever elusive and Regressive Freak Show.
Suddenly "not everything is political" LMAO
These people are real life right-wing straw men. Real life soyjaks. Bots with flesh.
But hey. At least in denying that they are woke they admit woke is bad
its supposedly be a critic to the woke movement, but the characters are bad af, putting players in the ridicule power of a woke actives was a really bad play lol so bad that only the thing its criticizing is the only one applauding LOL
No its not a good game. Its not a "game" at all. Its some weird waste of time.
Cope. He led his team to abject failure. He should never be trusted to make a game with investor money again.
Been watching awhile just subbed today.I have a request/piece of advice that will benefit all of us I think. You should stop doing the "maaawwwwduuurn auuudience"tag line. I get why you're doing it you're making fun of the fools who would say that and you're doing a funny voice but the problem is you're harming all of us because you're embracing their false narrative and using their lingo (like when married couples started accidently calling their wives/husband's "partner"). WE are the modern audience and we are the majority right now in this modern time. It genuinely concerns me when you embrace their narrative because dumb people will parrot your words without context people like Alyssa mercante take that as you admitting we are the minority which clearly isn't true. Instead can you please switch the line to something like "we are the modern audience and we don't want this crap" or something? Please don't unintentionally help proliferate their false narratives.
The dustborn devs banned me from their forum for saying "all skin colors are good, from black to whit, ban me for saying that I dare you" RAGNAR THE RACIST doesn't like that statement I guess
Here's what Inside Out Joy would say, "Delusional?….. OF COURSE I'M DELUSIONAL!"
Oh come on! Attracting only 4 players out of the world's population with Internet access is something of an achievement. Credit where credit's due guys.
This is the best breakdown I've heard
I can only assume that this…Tornquist woketard is obviously some lowly incel with a micropenis. He probably got his woke comrades to send those death threats for all anyone knows.
"Our game is a failure but almost every relevant metric but that doesn't mean it is a flop. The game even failed to meet our goals but that doesn't mean it is a flop." This guy is on some seriously strong copium.
Honestly the game probably would have been more successful without the worst combat in decades of gaming. I didn't even know the game had "combat" I thought it was made in the telltale fashion of "interactive tv show."
7:48 well they've got more people working at the studio than playing this turd and it's not a flop? You've got to admire the guy's commitment to his lie
NGL, they would show ballz if they gave us dustborn 2
ship suggestion: heighliner from dune
People not liking your protagonists hurts, I can understand that. If the audience dislikes your protagonist, they dislike you, because a protagonist is usually a reflection of what the creators think is right, especially when the creator is a far left lunatic.
That clown of a CEO should have claimed that Dustborn was a parody of woke culture and people just misunderstood their intentions. That would be far more believable.
