What issues exactly? Not as if Sony is pumping out games left and right anymore.

Employees quitting over their apology and making false accusations of isms against them, potentially en masse. A coordinated campaign against them by their own current and former employees, stuff like that.

Never thought I'd see the day where she turned away from the left. She was pretty staunch nutty left

The "left" is just a loose conglomeration of divergent ideas, there is little wonder it has splinters fall off all the time. The "right" such as it is, has a more coherent world view I think.

But really, other than 2-3 specific issues, I think about 80% of the population can actually agree and get along with each other. You can see the hot button intractable issues because its what the extremes harp on over and over, but whenever someone can just walk past them and focus on the common interests, it's like a breath of fresh air. But those third rail political topics just deep six most candidates in the primary system.

Wait what, isn't Ana like also a far left loony from that Turks show?

No she's quite good actually the last year. I would even say Cenk is getting more reasonable as well. Still in the left but much more moderate. Hopefully the will end up on the middle and represent a voice that neither support the far of both the democrats and republicans.

And she's cute imo

ill never forget that GAME in the UK had last of us 2 for £9.99 within a year of launch. Ive never seen that for any game of that production level or expected it for that franchise.

For context, game is a rip off and £9.99 is beyond bargain bin for that retailer.

It was all over hotukdeals in the uk


That is not a game that performed well. I can only imagine how many copies must have been pressed up and sat in distributors to cause that kinds of dump and burn!

Just check this topic bro.. there are a lot of people calling out bethesda... they just dont have a high profile game coming out right now so SP is more in evidence... and this "one rotten apple rhetoric" has no support ground since the studio and the company refused to make a public statement... and no firing her is not making one, is the bare minimum, even more when this firing was silent with the news being forwarded only through Kotaku and her Likedin page.

Further more we have too much proof of Sony and its californian studios left radicalization for some years now to think its just one rotten apple.. specially one in a leading dev position in a prominent studio for years.

Fact is as Zacfoldor Zacfoldor said, Sony dosent have an angle to tackle this, if they make a statement blatantly condemning her and the killing, they will infuriate a lot of their lefitist employees and probably a lot of head of studios and managers, and if they only make a half-assed save face post it wont matter anyway since it wont change the perception they now have upon them... so either way now they have to lay on the bed they made and hope this just blow over.

You are gonna get a bunch of old people who have ZERO UNDERSTANDING of how any of these online groups operate trying to catch sound bites for their re-election campaigns while the CEOs desperately try to remain calm in the midst of moron level debate antics because their lawyers are panicked sitting behind them.

Rarely does it seem we get any meaningful product out of a hearing like this. At best it just puts some concrete statements out into the public record that can be used to drive policy later or browbeat companies into some superficial change.

Yeah and this is in line with what majority of Polish people want.



PiS was "Right" but not far right. They even started many social programs (like giving money for having children) that are more in line with Left wing policies.

From my perspective many Eu countries are rules by leftists despite whatever those parties call themselves. Millions of unverified migrants don't scream "center right" to me.

My God lol. I don't think charity is exclusive of leftists but ok.

Its hard to make a public statement when probably 80% of your department laughed at the "joke"

Yup.

When politics are involved, it's a sensitive issue to make a statement since a lot on manchildren at the office who treat corporate life as a 24/7 extension of home life will get riled up.

You wont get employees going ape shit if the company announces a new promo selling pizzas for half price. But you will alienate half the workers or customers if it involves politics.

Unfortunately businesses are in a bind. Because unless they can treat a firing as an at-fault cause, firing any people is a double whammy because you got to pay the jackass severance to get rid of them (big money the longer tenure they got). And then spend time and effort to hire and train a newbie.

I expect it to be a big nothing
 
Can congress ask Gabe how much weight he's lost or how much his yachts cost?

Maybe try to finagle it by saying there's been a correlation between online radicalizations and your loss of weight and rise in yachts. Please state lbs and pricing.

No, what's sad is that we know for a fact it wasn't just one rotten apple, and the others haven't been fired. And you people keep lying about no one caring about the Microsoft stuff. It's absolutely fucking crazy that even when someone is assassinated you guys can't stop with your bullshit fanboy Sony/Microsoft shit. Saying people don't care when they've been brought up dozens of times here and millions of times all over social media is stupid.
 
The real question is why Reera is not in the list to testify. They clearly did hide the thread because they feared the backlash of cheering over Kirk death would catch them. And we all know they have very often cases of wishing violence against people, one recent case being JK. They pretty much fit the tag of being hate cultists.
 
Go Woke and Go Broke: My theory on why the video game market is crashing and IMO needs an entire meltdown.

1. Look up BlackRock. It is a massive entity who's CEO openly admits he wants to Force policies like DEI, wokeness, and "change." They work closely with Walt Disney and as you can see from all the Disney films they are all woke and "inclusive" built for the "modern audience." Black Rock has pumped billions into all realms of entertainment including gaming to push their "behavior changes"

2. Back during the big C or the "bug" wokeness was at it's peak. All of the big companies pushed for "diversity" and that meant getting rid of a ton of the old talent. To be blunt, if you were a cis white male your ass was on the line. The corporations replaced many game development roles with younger more modern developers who many are activist. To these activist the message they want to push is more important tan the actual product.

3. So it takes about 5+ years to make a modern game so if you go from the start of the Big C it's now been about 5 years and now we get to see the fruits of their labor. Yotei was a gender swap game while most of the original fans wanted a true sequel with Jin Sakai. I think the whole girl boss thing is played out and we are seeing another example of this. It is unrealistic to have a female who looks less than 100lbs soaking well just slaughtering these big giant men. What I am trying to say it their main goal was to make a female character.

4. Go back from 2020-2025 and just look at the Quality of games. It is impossible to deny that games have gotten worse. Characters designs most of us hate, LGBT stories thrown in to everything, Games releasing with bugs or just poorly optimized (Borderlands 4?), formulated stories, etc. The bottom line is the industry if filled with progressive activist. I did some digging and looked at company photos of some of the bigger name companies in the industry. I am seeing a lot more purple haired ladies with septum rings. I am seeing ladies with boy haircuts. I am seeing entire development teams almost entirely women. I am not saying that woman cannot make a good game. What I am saying is these woman are clearly progressive and no doubt going to push that crap into their products. Look at games like Spiderman 2 that is insanely woke or poor products like the new Halo they had to totally rebuild. To be blunt these people do not have the same talent, passion, or work ethic of the older developers the publishers ran off.

Same reason Bluesky isn't. They aren't important enough. I don't think any politician even knows that forum exists.
