That's something a totally normal functioning well-adjusted adult would say... Right?
Jacob Geller, a popular (million+ sub channel) YouTuber and apparent "consultant" on Konami and Bloober Team’s Silent Hill 2 remake, has previously suggested the world would be better without gamers...
Geller, who admits to working for Hit Detection LLC—a company similar to Sweet Baby Inc. known for pushing progressive activist agendas in gaming—recently announced his involvement with the remake on Twitter. Sharing a screenshot of his name in the game's credits, he wrote:
“Surprise! I consulted on the Silent Hill 2 remake! I had a really great experience working with the team. Because of this, I won’t really be talking about the game publicly—have fun figuring out your own takes!”
On the surface... bad enough... but his past posts have raised eyebrows for his disdain toward the very community he is now working for. On top of coming across as a very smug woke industry defender... Supporting anti-gamer establishments like DEI consulting companies isn't the 'W' you think it it, Jacob... and based on how he carries himself, he sounds like a real 'winner'.
In 2019, Geller responded to a post from Compulsion Games writer Bijan Stephen, who asked for the “dumbest idea” that would still make the world better. Geller replied in a QT bluntly, “No gamers” Har har har.
This dismissal of the gaming community has upset fans of the Silent Hill franchise, among others. But it doesn’t stop there, because of course you already know - folks like Jacob are pattern individuals.
Geller's disdain for gamers feels limitless. Browsing through his twitter to see his takes on the game community tells you right away that he constantly hates gamers fighting for good games, calling them names, like 'lunatics' above... Or pretending there isn't an organized mafia of activists behind the scenes that pretend to have ethics when at the end of the day, some have been compromised.
It has roots stretching back over a decade. In 2013, he suggested that "Maybe there’d be more girl gamers if guy gamers didn’t act so incredibly unlikable," adding yet another divisive take.
His remarks go off the rails when he jumps to discussing far-right recruitment through gaming also fed into this narrative, attempting to link today’s supposed "alt-right movements" to the GamerGate controversy... in reply to Kotaku of all places. With such a track record, it’s no surprise that his involvement in the Silent Hill 2 remake has concered those who feel like the game’s development has been compromised by ideological agendas rather than staying true to the spirit of the original...
It's further proof that the very people employed by these outlets are typically the most racist, bigoted, and hateful creatures on the planet, projecting themselves on everyone else to distract.
Off topic, but still curious enough to note - surrounding the release, Konami recently deleted a post announcing that the Silent Hill 2 remake was designed for “modern audiences.”
The post was published at the end of May, included a video featuring Bloober Team developers discussing how they aimed to modernize the game for a new generation of players - here's a screenshot of that now deleted post:
However, the phrase “modern audiences” raised suspicions that the game was being injected with a DEI agenda, especially following the redesign of certain characters like Angela.
Konami's decision to remove the post only fueled these concerns, leading to speculation that the studio is quietly trying to market the game as non-political while still infusing it with identity-driven content.
The industry insiders continue to gaslight, mislead, and distract you. They time and time again tell you, often times (as in this case) that they do not like you... and at the same time, ask you to buy their game. It seems like it makes no sense... but then again, when you're an activist posing as a gamer... It kinda does.
...and they can't stand that it's being pointed out.

The thing with this one is you have to notice how excited he is about being subversive. This is what's going to happen from here on out. Now that it's clear they can't openly declare their involvement we'll need to identify the principles of DEI in the product itself. Then boycott on principle.
First - great article Smash!
Second, let me see if i understand this man correctly - he thinks the games would be better without gamers ... meaning no one to play the games ... so who the heck will buy the games if the gamers don't buy them? So if he don't needs gamers it means he don't need my money therefore i don't have to buy any games that idiot was involved into.
Third - I've been watching a certain youtuber playing SH2, it doesn't look so bad but they change a few things and completely removed key details of the main story. They could have done better by just upgrading the graphics and leave the story as it…
