People on here say the same shit in every Alanah Pearce thread. No one gives a shit. People are just after him because of his politics. Or because he was into Xbox for a bit.

Alanah Pearce posting pictures of her body and cleavage on a regular basis has a lot to do with that. I don't know much about the woman being discussed here. If she has used her body in the same way then I'd say that would be a good comparison, but otherwise....not really.

Jaffe - need to go outside, touch the grass, take a break from the internet. Or better yet, launch and play a couple of old games he helped develop. All these videos and answers just add fuel to the fire and make things worse.

I don't know much about her, either. From what I've seen she seems to try to keep her stuff focused neck upwards.

Boys’ club locker room talk, much of it tongue in cheek and none of it meant for the recipient to read, is a little different from a public figure directly attacking someone in a YouTube video.

His comments reveal more about himself than the woman he’s targeting.
I agree it reveals more about himself. It's a dumb comment. I don't know who this girl is or watch her stuff, so I don't have any opinion on her mental capacity. I think Jaffee is a liberal, but likely does still have some old school sexist beliefs buried down somewhere. After all, he did make God of War. I would imagine he'll reflect on this after the blowback and probably apologize, and likely never say anything like that again.

Can't say the same for Pearce. It's jokes and pics, which again, I don't complain about. But it's nonstop, constantly and I'm sure she's read it on literally any platform she's ever posted on. And it's likely never stopping.

We get it, Jaffe - God of War was a pretty cool game 19 years ago.

It doesn't mean you're relevant or have anything of value to contribute today. In fact, you most certainly do not.
Jaffe is the YouTube equivalent of Mark Kern (Grummz) over on X. Both of them haven’t been relevant in the industry in a very long time so they use their former status to grab an audience and then post cringey clickbaity shit.

Sad, really.

Do not know any of these folks. Who are the good guys and the baddies so I can root from my futon in my momma’s basement?

God of war is based on material pertaining to Greek mythology, what a ridiculous reach.

Pro tip: if a game creator has so much time to spend on YT as David Jaffe....fair guess is he is not making games.

Which makes you wonder - why is he not getting any work? Could it potentially be that he is a damaged, entitled, whiny man child and every prospective employer is able to see that?

Guy has made 1 game in 12 years. That terrible drawn to death game. His studio bombed and shut down too.

He’s not even that old (early 50s). But looks like he hasn’t scored a job since then when he was in his 40s.

I’m sure he’d jump at a chance of making another game but nobody wants him. You can tell by the way he talks and rambles he’s probably an ass as a coworker. At least that’s the vibe I get from his videos. I think people have said he’s hard to work with too although I’m too lazy to search for that on my phone.

If he’s as weird on social media now, just imagine what it’s like to work with him on a game for 5 years being a director bossing people around.

Jaffe is not painting himself in a good light with this one.
Im legit confused what Jaffe is doing cause for months he bitched and moaned about the leftists. And now suddenly pivots, is he trying to get back into gaming devs via Sony by shitting on right wingers ?

Controversy and outlandishly immature takes are the only things that get him engagement numbers. He has clearly leaned in over time.

Which, by his definition, is grifting.
On his site whose videos get hardly any clicks, he does have some videos that gets a ton.

The handful of videos related to “Wukong Reaction from the Director of God of War” get the most clicks by a mile.

Guy hasn’t been involved with GoW since the PS2 days and still milking that bullet point.

Yep, he's throwing shit at a wall and hoping it sticks.
 
Being attractive is the ultimate privilege and is the real advantage in any workplace. If he kept it at that, he’d be fine. Any hot person of any race has an easier time in a lot of aspects in life.
 
This is what happens when you ride the coat tail of the one good game you made for 20 years. You end up arguing with someone half your age on the internet about video game grifting.

He made a stupid argument while playing Veilguard suggesting that having options to removing Trans stuff in the game is equivalent to having options to remove black people. Jaffe is a fucking retard who has a superiority complex.

Maybe he’s not locked in into limited groups and group think?

Asmongold is as bad cause he's farming on socially awkward people, it's easy for him to do that.
