I love watching these wokies get their up and comings. Now we need a mass exodus of woke radical activist fired from the gaming development sector. Games are worse in quality for a reason. Look at the developers who are making this shit. The product is not going to get better with the same assholes making it.

So true. They would be beta males more feminine than the females.

[Gamer79]

Is it really to be expected that a company should issue a public statement every time an individual employee expresses a personal opinion that is some bullshit like in this case?

When it is to this extreme yes. You may not agree with it but due to their lack of action they are feeling the heat. Celebrating a murder when he is a senior developer is extreme and insane. Freedom of speech not freedom of consequences.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Nah....it's just a cheap gotcha. Charlie Kirk never wished for anyone to die by gun violence. People referencing this are acting like Charlie Kirk was offering up others as sacrificial lambs to keep guns legal. Charlie Kirk received death threats on a regular basis and still showed up for debates in wide open venues so clearly he was not removing himself from the possibility of gun violence. He allowed people who hated him to get in shouting distance for the purpose of discourse. So what part of this is putting the target on others and not himself? He was, by far, more likely to be attacked than the average person. Do you really think he was not aware of that?

I dont believe for a second that he wanted people to be killed... but his words are its a worthwhile cost. He literally says a prudent deal. He says it with conviction.

So, while I dont agree with his comments. Charlie Kirk was clearly ok in being a statistic to allow the second amendment to stay in place.

He still should not have been assassinated and I stand by that with conviction but I dont think its fair to point the finger at others for highlighting his stance on his own death.

Both of them have always been that way. But money meant more to them than the message when they sold the company in 2000.

but this is not an issue of the second amendment. Culturally speaking owning guns is a very American think. and how realistic is for guns to be banned anyway? now we know that the dude didn't even bought the rifle but it was a gift from his grandparent.

the issue (and it's crazy that not even politicians are hammering this concept relentlessly and instead the discourse has moved to "freedom of speech" - which is not-) is that this was a political assesination and in top of that the dude was killed while debating.... that's insane and quite significant; a threat to democracy itself

Im just saying what he said. How many gun crimes are by someone passing someone and illegal gun with no serial number to murder someone. That isnt the second amendment. There's no government overthrowing involved.

Charlie kirk was more intelligent than your average person and he knew that.

He said the statements. Its clearly what Charlie is ok with, and I dont think its in bad taste to say charlie kirk was ok with what happened to charlie kirk.

That doesn't change how you, or I feel about it and its not a bad or evil thing to share his opinion on his own death.

It may not be in bad taste, but it's incredibly stupid. Kirk's point was there will always be a certain amount of gun deaths if we have guns - just like there will always be a certain amount of road deaths if we have cars. In no way is that excusing criminality in any form - let alone cold-blooded murder. Saying you accept a certain number of road deaths does not mean you're ok with someone getting in a car and mowing someone down.

Exactly and by his own words he accepted his violent death.

I dont accept it and I stand by all of my comments that those not highlighting the horror of this incident and how bad it is, is not someone I want to discuss or associate myself with.

Its just a truly horrible thing thats happened and im dissapointed that the world and its people aren't expressing how bad it was compared to other political events such as black lives matter.

Plenty are and good on them but there is silence from these companies etc that is unacceptable.

Bethesda and SP especially.

Plus I have no interest in anything political. Both sides have lost the plot and you are literally cast out if you try to find a middle ground or try to be more central.

You gotta pick a side in today's politics and go hard one way or another. Fuck that. If thats you...you do you buddy.

Beyond disappointing watching the left celebrate a literal school shooting.

When JFK was assassinated, there were reports of student reactions in Dallas. The overwhelming response among students was shock and sadness, but there were also reports of some students cheering. It's possible that those who tastelessly cheered were applauding the prospect of getting out of school early or not receiving homework, given the circumstances. I can't say for certain, but when I heard about it, it stuck with me. I thought of many reasons those students might have cheered the president's assassination, and the idea that they genuinely wanted him dead because of policies or differences of opinion seemed the most dubious. Unfortunately, that isn't out of the realm of possibility today.

now, is it funny in a morbid, dark humor kind of way? sure. and that's why bringing this taking point is just that: pointing out a superficial/inaccurate irony.

It's like someone saying: vaccines save lives, that some deaths are necessary/risk worth taking and then the dude saying it dies after getting a jab.

As a Mexican, it's crazy to me how Americans aren't grasping how fucked up the assassination was. I mean, this shit doesn't even happen here. And I'm just baffled at the amount of mass shootings that happen over there, but this is exponentially worse. Related? Tangentially, maybe, but with very different connotations for sure

You are both using accidental deaths. Vaccine jabs and car accidents to try and make a point against someone choosing to pick up a gun and murder someone.

Its in no way comparable. Charlie was accepting of a number of murdera and deaths by guns be it accidental and purposeful (ie murder) to have guns laws.

That's what the points are

Car accidents are not planned out murders with guns. Its completely different and if people cant see that I worry about them and not myself.

"Middle ground". Also "Charlie Kirk would definitely be ok with what happened to Charlie Kirk". That's not the middle ground, bud.

 

[avenovah]

Finally. Criminalizing this twisted, sick mind and diabolical group. This group is as worse as Isis and Al qaeda and finance by so many rich personalities. It is just so sad that Charlie has to be martyred for this to happen. His sacrifice will not be in vain. "RIP Charlie. God bless your soul. Amen."

Too bad this didn't happen in 2020 alongside BLM. Still, better late than never.

The purge of gaming companies could've started back then.

Time's running out for Sony, if they want to keep their biggest market, they owe the American people an apology:

 

[SkylineRKR]

I just love how this event has backfired on the left. This was supposed to be their crowning moment, taking out one of their biggest political enemy in a gruesome fashion. But all they did was expose to millions of people around the globe how vile and hypocritical these people are. The same people who put "love is love" on their bio on social media, the same people who puts coexist stickers on the back of their cars, same people who claim to be compassionate and kind. Bunch of hypocrites deserve all the things that happening to them, hope they all get canceled and lose their jobs.

Coexist and love as long as your ideals allign with theirs. Its pretty much like any communist or dictatorial movement.

 

[ChorizoPicozo]

The comparison is someone pointing out (like you did) something that isn't relevant, taking a statement, simplifying it, and turning it into an inaccurate ironic remark.

. Charlie was accepting of a number of murdera and deaths by guns be it accidental and purposeful (ie murder) to have guns laws.

That's what the points are

And your point is inaccurate, ignorant at best, convenient and dishonest at worst.

Car accidents are not planned out murders with guns.

Its completely different and if people cant see that I worry about them and not myself.

which is ironic. because if you can't see the different between "gun violence" as a risk for preserving that right Americans have (again and as a Mexican than shit is completely baffling and backwards... that's their culture I guess ) and the assesination of that dude...... America needs to fuck itself before things get better.

Maybe I took it the wrong way because im from the uk and dont understand guns so ill kindly step away and apologise to anyone I may have offended. Not my intention.

Video games is a dominated male space. Yes there are a lot of women who play video games but it is mostly male. I never said women should not have jobs. The issue here is the studios are almost entirely women. I can guarantee you almost all liberal. The problem with that is you cannot ask a room full of women what a guy wants. Its like those stupid dating magazines women listen to that never work. You need men's perspectives on what guy's want. Bottom line is there is not enough testosterone. It's like asking a run full of dudes to make a movie that women would primarily like. It is going to be a fucking disaster.

I hate the wokeism and alphabet politics that have infected our lives. The TikTok dancing lefties are a bunch of cunts that deserve all the shit coming their way. These studios however are not almost entirely women, you're talking out of your ass there and cherry picked photos to try and make a point. This isn't Victorian England any longer.

 

[Roufianos]

Man, never mind GaaS, I think Jim and Hurst's worse failure is letting studios like Insomniac and Sucker Punch be infiltrated by radicals.

Spiderman 2 and R&C had less edge than a bedtime story, comfort food written by the mentally unstable for the mentally unstable.

 

[Cyberpunkd]

Video games is a dominated male space.

Bruh, what are you on about out? Because the archetype of a videogame male player is not someone that lifts and has an active lifestyle. It's a beta cuck. 100 pounds overweight.

You complain about radical leftist ideas, how about you take a look at your belly and if you can see your dick while looking down, I bet majority of people can't.

Want less leftist ideas? Shape up and glorify physical exercise.

The hardest part is undoing it.

I'm not sure if the Yotei Dev really got fired but if Sony either do it or publicly apologize for it you could easily see another 40/50 sucker punch Devs threatening to quit in solidarity. Basically all the freaks. For a dev with only 200 staff that's a crisis.

They should move their headquarters to Texas. It's not easy to change when you're in the heart of Mordor.

I wasn't able to keep check on this thread for the past couple of days, and at this point I feel like the meme where the guy is too afraid to ask if the radical posts in this thread are sarcasm or actual serious posts.

Edit:
But I'm glad that the hiring policy is catching up to the studios finally!
Maybe we'll see hirings be because of skill and not because of mandatory hirings etc.
Who knows, maybe future UE5 will benefit from this if more actual talent works on those games.

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

Isn't this half the problem?

They may not know, but it does exist, and look at what it festers..

Some of the replies to Charlie being shot was quite eye opening, and that's just the start. And don't quite a few developers post there? The people who contribute to one of the biggest earning mediums on earth?

I say get the site owners on the panel too. Shine some sun light on some of those posts

 

[STARSBarry]

It's actually very easy as a human to feel sorry for someone who gets shot in the neck and now his family lost him forever especially when their only crime was having an opnion.

well it should be easy, i guess... I'm not sure what they putting in the water in the UK, but other outsiders aren't thinking "Chat shit get banged"

No idea where you from, but im pretty certain the outside sentiment or at least expectation from America is exactly that.

Americans shooting each other, especially at their presidents is exactly how we expect things to happen, because thats what does happen.

most outsiders still think death and murder and more importantly assassination is pretty horrific.

Someone kills you by deliberately running you over with a car. Are you ok with that happening to you?

No, I am not but if I sat in front of an audience of people and said. I have no problem with a certain amount of vehicle deaths/murders a year to allow me to have a car and then got ran over......that would be completely different.

The problem with that is, I would never say that and have that thought process.

Charlie Kirk did have that thought process around guns and openly expressed it in a public forum. To point out that is the way that he died and he himself said he had no problem with it, is not anything but speaking facts.

BUT, I also have respect for his family and the awful way he was murdered in front of them. So I would in no way make that original tweet or create a video mocking him for it. Also, I am not mocking him for it now. I just said that he accepts a number of deaths from guns each year and he ended up being one of them.

 

[StueyDuck]

Erm thats exactly what we expect, and its what we see too, so if your point was to say thats not how its expected I don't know what to say other than your mistaken.

So as long as you expect violence, then you shouldn't feel sorry towards a family who lost their father if it happens... galaxy brain thinking there pal.

Sony just need work policies that state you keep all political opinions and views off social platforms of face disciplinary action.
It's that fucking simple, I'm sure the people that I work with have totally opposing views to me but we aren't allowed to discuss it in the workplace because it causes issues and affects productivity.
The tech industry is riddled with this shit now and it's why so much of it is either behind schedule, released with bugs and issues or not appealing to the masses anymore.
