Thank you for this thread, it's saving me some money from informing myself with what games and studios to disconnect from in the future.
Sony and the PlayStation brand is fucked unless they start cleaning up from today.

Not touching my PS5 or handing them money again until they come out and publicly draw the line. These corporations bent the knee in unison when the far left wanted sympathy for years and years. Them saying nothing says everything you need to know about their leadership. This also goes for Microsoft and Bethesda.

 

[StueyDuck]

Pretty much, living through the American funded and armed "the troubles" will do that.

Naturally I dont expect the yanks to quite get why older nations with some history that isn't just 400 years old to get that chat shit thing, but "let them eat cake" is a saying for a reason.

literally no one else is thinking like that about the death of anyone in any country, you are alone in this...

How do you feel about the Ukraine situation? "Ah what do you expect living next to russia, i'm not sorry"

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Honestly, that whole thing was the greatest thing I've seen come out of the UK in a long time.

I have british heritage, so like I genuinely got some proper good ol pride in a strange way seeing it.

Seeing britain be british is something we've not seen in a really long time, made me wanna go put on some Wallace and Gromit and pour a cuppa and eat a lion bar.

It's a strange one though. In regards to Charlie just think of the UK as a tiny America. You've got the weird leftists in exactly the same state of arrested development, weird ideals and nose rings as you have there, and then you've got the normal people

I pretty much see the UK as you have London... then actual Britain , like you genuinely can't beat a proper small british countryside, that homely feel is hardly matched anywhere else.

 

[laynelane]

They dont learn...

Also, this doesnt look like a person who is mad at their direct employer for firing her. More like Sony directed SP to fired her against their will.

Yeah, the speed with which she was fired made me think it was Sony too. They got her out of there before she could make things even worse. I'm not sure if she's under any legal restrictions, but she can no longer make unhinged comments with the SP/Sony logo in her bio - which is likely why Sony moved so fast. Plus, given the fact that other devs from Sony studios (including SP) have shown approval for her words and others like them but are still employed - it's clear that there's a problem with Sony's studios and how they approach people who disagree with their world views. It also clear that it's going to take a higher authority to address it.

 

[Trilobit]

So now Sony Interactive Entertainment is going to release a tentpole game where the lead voice actress is member of a possibly designated terrorist organization?

What a crazy time to be alive.

Sucker Punch was so happy at first that GTA VI got delayed so that they would get more attention. Well, they sure have a lot of attention now.

 

[STARSBarry]

literally no one else is thinking like that about the death of anyone in any country, you are alone in this...

How do you feel about the Ukraine situation? "Ah what do you expect living next to russia, i'm not sorry"

Would you like to point to the bit in your analogy where Ukraine went and chatted mad shit to get an entire country to invade?

As for alone, I dunno, im pretty certain there's a fair few in this thread you just skipped them. I dunno why im being forced to declare being sad about a guy who himself said that the prudent choice was to have a few gun deaths every year. Im not saying the kid should of done it, i just feel its an expected outcome, it just takes one person to go all in. I just honestly dont feel much of anything at all, as I said it feels hard to feel sorry.

 

[calico]

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.

How would it be completely different? Presumably you do hold the position that the benefits of cars are worth the car-related deaths -as I do and almost everyone else does- whether you ever say it out loud or not. Why would expressing that position out loud suddenly mean you are 'ok' or 'have no problem' with someone using a car to run you over?

 

[Bernardougf]

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.

The thing about gun violence is that is more a cultural thing than a "guns" thing ... it has more to do with your countrys laws, culture, economy, education and so on than the gun itself ... a lot of country's that have strict gun control like mine still has more gun violence and death than the US ... if the person is truly decided to kill it will find a way, if didnt have access to a legal gun it would find an ilegal one or another method.

I understand that gun possession discussion is very hard on america, but as an outsider all I can say is that gun control dosent change the killers and bad people to do what they do ... they will just find another way.

Now what you can prevent is stupid gun death for accidents and such, and this is more easy establishing more control and training for people getting their guns, committing to participating in drills and training, Constantly updsates on gun safety and all...

Its a hard conversation but in the end.. the crazy who killed charlie would have done it anyway .. gun control or not.

Just my opinion.

 

[Topher]

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.

That's fair. I don't like how he said it, but I get what he was saying. Either way, it is still a 'ha ha' gotcha to point to that immediately after his death.

 

[ChuckeRearmed]

Western gamedev is so cooked.

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.

The point is that the guns do not kill people. People do. Just because people can kill other people, it does not mean we should ban guns because without guns, only the government starts to have a monopoly on a violence , meaning that the common people cannot effectively protect themselves without government involved. Charlie's death is a trategy not because of guns.

 

[Scrawnton]

Just my opinion.

Regarding your take on gun control, I agree. A lot of people seem to miss the point that these people WANT TO MURDER which is already illegal. If they have this mindset and are planning something like this, illegally obtaining a fire arm is just a lesser moral and psychological bridge they have to cross to get there. People who decide or conspire to murder aren't above looking for and obtaining illegal firearms. This is a huge blindspot in "ban the guns" argument people like to react with.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Yeah, the speed with which she was fired made me think it was Sony too. They got her out of there before she could make things even worse.

It also clear that it's going to take a higher authority to address it.

I'm just quite happy to not purchase much from certain regions of Sony to be honest.

And to be fair, I won't exactly be missing much

They haven't really been pushing out top tier must have blazing games as of late.

 

[The_Mike]

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."

Best news. I really hoped they would do that.

But Democrats will remove the label for their fellow Democrats

 

[The_Mike]

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.

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.

You don't seem to have respect for anything, and the fact you say you don't know much about the situation.

Maybe don't say anything if you don't know much or enough about something.

Its so evil to say he wanted to die, or he died by the sword.
He want the American to be able to protect them selves.
And he got killed for it.
Please. Tell me your logic that justifies this, because I cannot find it.

The reason he compared it to cars, was for trying to let small IQ people understand what he meant.

Guns don't kill people. People do.
Cars don't kill people. The driver does.

When you ask a republican what to use guns for, the primary reason is to either hunt or defend yourself from harm.
When you ask a democrat what to use guns for, the answer is always to kill other people.
That tells enough of how the two sides thinks of weapons.

A gun is an object like a car.
It is not the object that kills, but the person using the object.

In Germany it is not uncommon that Muslims uses cars to drive through a Christmas event, where several people dies.
If guns were allowed in Germany, the gun would just have replaced the car

The purpose of the tool would've been the same.
But it is the person who makes the action, that decides what the tool is used for.

If charlie has used another example, he could have said "people uses kitchen knives in the kitchen to prepare food, should we also ban them since they can also be used for killing".

Then you people would still use that as an example and justified he got killed because of his opinions.

 

[Gonzito]

So Sony made an statement when George Floyd died but they haven't released an statement when Charlie Kirk was killed.

What does that says about Sony as a company?

 

[The_Mike]

Sony just need work policies that state you keep all political opinions and views off social platforms of face disciplinary action.

Don't stop at Sony.

Make it mandatory for every company.

 

[laynelane]

I'm just quite happy to not purchase much from certain regions of Sony to be honest.

And to be fair, I won't exactly be missing much

They haven't really been pushing out top tier must have blazing games as of late.

Yeah, I'm not really a huge fan of most of Sony's first party offerings (I do like GoW and the first TLoU game, though - love Demon's Souls) but even if I was - incendiary, heartless statements from their employees and others approving it would give me pause on any future purchases.

 

[DenchDeckard]

Cars were invented for transport. Guns were invented to harm others.

I dont agree with gun laws and im in the uk. America can do what it wants with guns.

also, Mike. Where did I say he wants to die or die by the sword...you guys need to chill with attempting to put words in others mouths. Not cool.

 

[Dr.Morris79]

Yeah, I'm not really a huge fan of most of Sony's first party offerings (I do like GoW and the first TLoU game, though - love Demon's Souls)

Pretty much the games I enjoyed too, apart from GoW, I bought it, still haven't played it.

Aye, as for anything going forward, I honestly can't name one Sony game I'm looking forward to.

I even bought a PS5 Pro and it still sits in the box, unopened. It'll no doubt be opened one day for the BC capability, but that's about it.

If I didn't have a PC and was a strict console only gamer, for either platform, I'd be a bit pissed off.

I haven't played the most recent GoW either, but liked every title preceding it. I'm not in a hurry for Ragnorak since, as far as I can tell, they seem to have lost the plot to some degree (characterization, puzzles where NPCs feed the player the solutions, etc.) I'll play it eventually, though.

I'm a console only gamer and, yes, I'm a bit irritated by all this. There are various areas where Sony could stand to improve and this is definitely another one - "this" being refusing to disavow political violence when it comes to Charlie Kirk when, for example, they threw full support behind BLM. I'd say their values regarding causes are purely performative except their silence here proves otherwise.

Just my opinion.

The problem with gun violence in the United States is that we can't even have a proper conversation because half the country have deemed the most significant portions of the discussion off limits. It's why all they do is harp about gun control ad nauseum, because addressing the actual issues with gun violence in this country makes them faces realities that they don't want to admit. And the fact is, we will never be able to move the needle until these people get their heads out of the sand and start accepting reality.

Aye, it seems it just another casualty of progressive ideals. Just like every other institution in the West.

The best thing they could do right now is take the jump and bring it all back to Japan. I know they'd be fearing the 'loss', but I think actual gamers (Their actual paying customers) would support them ten fold

The quicker they rip the band aid off, the quicker that company might heal from whatever rot has set in.

 

[Windom Earle]

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.

Get off the ketamine

 

[calico]

Cars were innvented for transport. Guns were invented to harm others.

This would be a totally different argument to the one you were making before.

You know that the availability of cars results in some car-related deaths and you consider the benefits to outweigh the risk, as almost everyone does. That you consider the benefits to outweigh the risks obviously does not mean that you are 'ok with' being run over. Suggesting the former means the latter would be absurd and illogical.

Accurately stating Charlie Kirk's position would be fine. What you are doing is misrepresenting his position as badly as if I said 'DenchDeckard is ok with being run over' or 'DenchDeckard has no problem with being run over'.

Projecting much? I would argue among young adults gaming has reached a saturation point that makes it equally popular among losers and Chads.

There will always be losers but playing video games has nothing to do with it anymore. There are far easier ways to identify them these days such as being a male feminist, a vegan, LGBT allies, white males for Kamala and the list goes on.

Would you like to point to the bit in your analogy where Ukraine went and chatted mad shit to get an entire country to invade?

As for alone, I dunno, im pretty certain there's a fair few in this thread you just skipped them.

chatted mad shit? are you 12?

Also do you know much history about Ukraine and Russia? Russia has always felt they've owned Ukraine ever since it became it's own nation.

I'm sorry but you are definitely alone in thinking if someone says something they should be shot.

 

[midnightAI]

Not touching my PS5 or handing them money again until they come out and publicly draw the line. These corporations bent the knee in unison when the far left wanted sympathy for years and years.

Now your putting words in my mouth, should be shot and expected outcome is that he is shot are different things.

In the same way a game should not be shit, but I can expect it to be shit.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

I can't stand late night US chat shows, but that Kimmel fella being taken off-air is interesting. One thing's sure, JD Vance and regular hypocrites like him have no business pointing the finger at other countries when lecturing them about the "erosion of free speech" on their soil. Don't be daft.

No, what you are doing is putting words in my mouth. You are trying to turn a situation where we know someone said something and making a hypothetical like I said it about cars. Can we just agree that Charlies murder was horrible and shouldn't have happened?

I like cars but if there were as many murders by car (and there have been a few recently) that there is guns in the US and the government forced people to take public transport to reduce murders I would be all for it. But now we are talking about my politics in a completely hypothetical environment over what is happening here.

I do get it though, there are those that think they are decent humans and know how to handle guns and there are those that don't. but like Jim Jeffries said....everyone gets sad.....and it doesn't take much to turn a gun on yourself or others and with the tiniest squeeze of a trigger its all over.....

Now we are talking gun law and i am intelligent enough to not approach that subject with americans, so you guys all do what you want and I will step away.

 

[Topher]

If ya reckon.

Factually true. Equivalence would be Kimmel being arrested like the folks in UK were for holding up signs.

 

[DavidGzz]

Disney's ABC just pulled Jimmy Kimmel after 22 years of Jimmy Kimmel Live.
That's a late-night talk show, not gaming centric, but I wonder if this will signal a tougher stance in the games industry if even Disney can boot a big star just like that.

ABC Pulls ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ Indefinitely After Host’s Charlie Kirk Comments

Nexstar, one of the biggest owners o US f TV stations in, said will pre-empt Jimmy Kimmel's late night show due to the host's Charlie Kirk remarks

variety.com

I mean, when Trump makes threats to revoke their license, it wasn't exactly Disney's decision, their hands were tied.

 

[DirtInUrEye]

Factually true. Equivalence would be Kimmel being arrested like the folks in UK were for holding up signs.

Marching to the beat of the drum. Hint: everyone knows the White House is playing the drum.

 

[Topher]

I mean, when Trump makes threats to revoke their license, it wasn't exactly Disney's decision, their hands were tied.

That's stupid because there was no need for the FCC to even get involved when ABC affiliates had already yanking Kimmel's show. Looks like FCC was being opportunistic so they could claim credit. But yeah.....flies in the face of what Trump said not that that's rare.

 

[The Mad Draklor]

Its a hard conversation but in the end.. the crazy who killed charlie would have done it anyway .. gun control or not.

Just my opinion.

Case in point, the person who assassinated Shinzo Abe in a country that has one of the strictest gun control laws.

 

[RafterXL]

That's stupid because there was no need for the FCC to even get involved when ABC affiliates had already yanking Kimmel's show. Looks like FCC was being opportunistic so they could claim credit. But yeah.....flies in the face of what Trump said not that that's rare.

The idea that the FCC forced their hand is nonsense anyway. Sinclair lit Jimmy Kimmel up were clearly not happy with what he said. They got rid of him because they wanted to. You don't replace his timeslot with a Charlie Kirk remembrance show, demand and public apology from Kimmel as well as a donation to Kirks foundations, and then state that regardless of what ABC does Kimmel won't be coming back on their stations until those things happen.

That tweet from "Factpost" is wrong - the FCC never threatened to revoke ABC's broadcast licence.

 

[StueyDuck]

Now your putting words in my mouth, should be shot and expected outcome is that he is shot are different things.

In the same way a game should not be shit, but I can expect it to be shit.

no one should be expected to be shot or stabbed you are living in a looney world my man.

people are allowed to say have crazy opinions, no one should be expected to be stabbed or expected to be shot, that's just an insane way to justify the violence.

 

[sloppyjoe_gamer]

Looks like ABC has pulled Jimmy Kimmel off the air for his comments on CK.

Couldn't have happened to a nicer guy. Good riddance

Yup - just looked into it a bit and Nexstar were clearly happy to do it, judging by their statement. Their biggest affiliates are in the south. After they did it, another broadcast owner followed suit, and then ABC/Disney were basically forced to act and suspended the show - so Kimmel isn't even fired. He'll probably be back at some point.

 

[demigod]

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:

It always cracks me up when alts come out of the woodwork to claim Sony bad.

 

[Topher]

That tweet from "Factpost" is wrong - the FCC never threatened to revoke ABC's broadcast licence.

Here's what was said.

 

[RoboFu]

Kimmel said. this just in case you couldn't find it.

"We had some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to characterize this kid who murdered Charlie Kirk as anything other than one of them and with everything they can to score political points from it."

I wonder how many people here at gaf who claimed to be canceling their pre order really have or not?
