Oh come on "everything is changing" no it is not.
The same people are playing games as before. Technical standards are rising and so are the standards of writing but that does not mean the demographic changes.
Witcher has sold well, Sunset hasnt.
None of those hipster games sell because ultimatley they are bad. Core games sell because they are good.
There is no influx of hipsters buying hipster games. There is mereley an influx of Hipsters telling core gamers that Hipsters are buying games, then they complete the act by not following up on the promise and companies attempting to cater to said hipsters fall flat on their asses.
See Double Fine. See Bioware, see gearbox whose recent game completley failed to capture any attention.
All the while CD Project and established brands like Blizzard are making big buck.
In fact id say the core audience is stronger than ever.
You know what game was a huge success? Total Fucking Warhammer. That brand doesnt even exist anymore and people are buying it. Guess how politically correct that setting is.
Face it. Hipsters dont buy games. Gamers buy games.
And gamers universally are fed up with Hipsters trying to push their annoying politics into our hobbies that we use to escape from exactly this kind of ideology filled world we live in right now.
EDIT: Oh yeah "actual racist and sexists" ok how about you follow that up with some proof.
Because the only way i can see that as valid is if you are one of those that thinks Pepe the Frog is a White Nationalist symbol or some nonsense like that.
