Are they all the same people who did Tsushima? I have that game on PS5 but have never played it due to a stupidly large backlog. if they did, I am selling my copy.

If you want a real laugh, go on YouTube and look up an Australian news segment called Lefties losing it.

Really highlights their insanity and they never run out of material.

Also this girl expelled for laughing at Kirk.

My point is people blaming the left and acting like it's only an issue with the left using violence.

I know plenty of my right leaning friends who detested what Boelter did.

There's no excuse for any violence, period - regardless of where you sit.

But let's not make little scarecrows here to justify WHY people's frustrations at this person being another leftist violent lunatic aren't valid.

Vandalism against Teslas?
The "Ice" rioting in LA?
Two Jewish diplomats in DC by Elias Rodriquez?
Genesse Ivonne Moreno And her anti-Semitic shootings at Lakewood in 2024?
Robin Westman, who clear hate for religion and Trump, just a few weeks ago in August.

Even the second assassin attempt in October, the guy was a registered republican but donated to Biden and clearly had data that was anti-Trump/current right wing.

And I'm cherry picking.

YALL remember the US border patrol agent killed with ties to this wacky radical leftist trans vegan Ziz Cult? I couldn't believe it was even a thing and then I started researching.

So…

I haven't gone through all this but I couldn't find any evidence the Genesse was a dem. I also don't think a guy who is registered republican but donated to Biden is now on the left. He just didn't like Trump and a lot of Republicans I know don't like how he's taken over the Republican party.

I gave you a variety of examples, not all of them straightforward but there's more I left out -

And right wing violence is for sure real, and equally inexcusable but the right wing doesn't prattle on and have a culture that supports canceling and destroying people's lives like the modern day left (last decade) has.

You don't have prominent right wingers like Hassan or Destiny calling for violence -

You also can see very clearly that the holistic political movement of the right isn't set on being violent or enacting their agenda through those means. Where's our "summer of love" riots for Charlie?

Where's our DMZ zones like the CHAZ or Chop where people were shot(kids) and looted?

Where is the modern day right advocating and acting out, in equal scale, like the modern left does?

I hate all this bullshit - both sides-ing the issue as a way to hand wave away a very serious event is telling you're not operating in good faith.

If GoY performs badly I wonder if they even care to keep the studio anymore.

Yep. As I've said already: basically all Western devs will get the used treatment from me going forward.

It's crazy that it's come to this, isn't it? It wasn't so long ago that the games did the talking, but now thanks to social media and all the narcissists in game development - there's another condition to take into account. I don't buy a lot of games from Western developers, but buying them used sounds like a sensible compromise. I'm between that and just not playing those games at all right now.

This isn't cancel culture, it's a purge of evil, literally.

Unless we want people pushing for and the celebration of assassinations to be a common thing?

personally i don't think that's free speech but a call to violence. CtA's i thought were always frowned upon, but I guess that's the same as jk rowling just saying that trans dudes shouldn't be punching women in the face in boxing.

Yeah, the constant attempts at a gotcha over "cancel culture" is moronic. If you're more upset about a video game getting canceled than you are about a man getting murdered then you need to seek professional help.
 
Wasn't the democratic state rep. Melissa Hortman killed by far lefties for voting against free health care for illegal immigrants, shortly before her death, instead of voting on the party line? Why do people keep equating her murder with right wing violence when it was her own people killing her for not being far enough left. There's examples of right wing violence out there I'm sure, but I'm not sure her tragic death is the best example. Either way I pray that this kind of assassination doesn't become the norm. People don't deserve death for speaking. This world needs Jesus, especially the freaks that celebrate cold blooded murder like this.

sidenote: it was probably mossad that killed kirk and the "shooter" is just a patsy.

Whether the murderer was left or right he was a piece of shit for doing what he did. He shot up another family in addition to that. The difference is the right didn't collectively cheer that on. The attempts to equate the two events is stupid.

Also, I don't recall Hortman being called Nazi/fascist etc - a lot of times implicitly by mainstream media - for the last year.

It doesn't excuse or mean her life or death were anything less than Charlie's but it's not apples to Apples comparison either.

Edit:

Also - the idea that the Conservative Party doesn't or won't "turn the temperature down" did Biden do that when he stood on front of a blood red background and tied white supremacy to "ultra maga" and call them the threat?

- and everyone from the view to the cnn to all the lower rung media outfits calling people like Charlie "white nationalists- IE white supremacists -

Plus how many democrats just bandy around the word calling Trump and his supporters neo fascists, authoritarians, hitlerian,

I hate when people on the right called everyone communist marxists blah blah….but in our society we have self describe democratic socialists so…

The both sides and what aboutism isn't working this time.

California head quarters of Sony is plagued, infested with woke agenda and DEI this days. Money and resources are wasted hiring this mentaly ill persons. It taken Sony as hostage by this people pushing and forcing agenda by the DEi people they hired instead of producing very based and creative and fun games. Sony really have to go back to Japan headquarters.

Same with other gaming companies. DEI in the west has taken them hostage.

Blue Sky and Ree really are containment zones, aren't they? It's like a smorgasbord of the most unhinged takes from the very worst people are constantly on offer. Personally, I'm glad they congregate in those places since it's a nice and easy way to avoid especially brain dead opinions.

I mean, yes and no? The majority of the gaming press agrees with them, and large parts of the industry. Also places like Reddit.

EDIT: Although I guess I should add: I don't think everyone ACTUALLY thinks like that, even in most of those places. I think it's top-down. People know they'll get encouraged for parroting the appropriate views and punished for going against them, so normal people either keep their mouths shut or say things they don't really mean in order to fit in. It's a house of cards that can only exist if the moderation is authoritarian.

That's the issue with the hive mind online. This is not about cancel culture. Everyone who says it is is deep in the cesspool of online discourse or/and dosent understand what cancel culture is.

As I've said already, there's a big difference between an isolated "bad take" from an individual and the same "bad take" shared by a large number of people, especially when it is supported, encouraged, celebrated, and even held by those in positions of power within the political spectrum or in corporations. Also, advocating for the killing of someone is not protected by Free Speech.

Perfectly said my man.

Also, the false equivalency with these scenarios is what makes me laugh.

They can cancel you for decade old gay tweet; for misgendering; for saying gender is a construct, IE not real, and that there's only two sexes; that men shouldn't play or be in women's spaces or sports;

Yet, the right is the exact "same" because these people are grave dancing and some even calling for more.

Not the same.

I don't know which pundit I saw say this, but they said what is the benefit for not punishing this behavior? They get to believe this ok? That the right will just piss and moan, but not do anything….basically likes it done for the last 10 years? The far leftists' gets to think that they can murder people, cheer it on and badly for more and that's sane and moral?

This is a huge part of the problem. Things that qualify as cancelable have historically been "anything the far left wants." It doesn't matter how reasonable those things are, how legal they are in the eyes of the law, or whether or not they're things that are actually intended to be protected as parts of free speech. It's 100% up to the whims of leftists, and that needs to change.

EDIT: I don't like cancel culture and I would ultimately prefer it just not be a thing. But in the absence of that, applying it equally to everyone, and proportionally to what was actually said, would at least be a start.

In the US the video game companies work based on what party the President is. In this case Sony should fucking make a statement. What a fucking bunch of buffoons.

it seems its impossible to have a company and an HR system that act like a normal human being. its either extreme left or right when sadly both are wrong.

Such a sad state we fucking live in when a human life has no meaning in the world and taking life and hateful motives is being the norm.

Since when is killing someone without a trial something to be celebrated? And why every fucking cave in the US has 100s of guns to the point young adults can have a sniper or whatever he used? it shouldn't be that easy to acquire such a long-range gun. wtf is this shit :/

This is really depressing. I keep trying to avoid this thread because I am not into politics and I do not like shit like this when my sole purpose coming here is talking about video games and shitting on devs for being shitty devs. But even though it seems impossible now.

Even if I go to the off topic, there is another thread of exactly the same thing.

I get why there are 2 threads of this and why this is here being it related to video games. but still sucks that we reached this stage.

Do you place value in gaming media? I don't. Do you think the industry operates from a place of integrity? I don't. Reddit? Toxic group think at its finest.

I prefer to make up my own mind on issues and even if the gaming media and the industry are celebrating the assassination of a person whose values they don't agree with - I'll just keep formulating my own opinions. As for the "authoritarian" moderation, yes, that's a thing and why a person can choose not to frequent places that will only reward or tolerate them for violent rhetoric. I understand the causes but these are adults we are talking about, not poor lost little lambs. They choose to frequent these places, they choose to sacrifice their compassion and integrity to 'fit in', and therefore I choose to not frequent those places or sugarcoat what they represent.

Part of the reason things have become as bad as they are is that reasonable people have been asked to tolerate the intolerable for years now. It took this garish celebration of political violence to finally shake people out of it. That's a good thing and I hope to see more of it.

If Sony, Sucker Punch or Bethesda refuse to make an official statement then we can only surmise that the developers comments are the official statements.

They made these comments while under their official titles and roles at those companies so therefore it's an official company statement/stance until proven otherwise.

The worst thing is, they all were quick to make comments supporting Fentanyl Floyd. You know…the drug addict thief that shoves guns into pregnant women's belly's. But yeah…let's celebrate the death of the guy who doesn't want men in women's bathrooms.

Anways…consider the tweets from these developers as official statements from the respective companies
