I wanna know how many people at EA left or were fired for not complying with the demands of this trans activist.

How to avoid taking responsibility 1O1.

I 100% agree if you want to make a work of art for yourself then you should be able too.

However on the flipside since your marketing it as a product I have the right to not buy it and make sure that you understand that this is a direct consequence of you doing that.

I think the person who wrote this is a little fucking naïve when it comes to products, at the end of the day I have the money and choose what to spend it on, the fact so few decided to spend it on yours despite being a well established IP should be telling you something.

A guy doing his own art in his basement is one thing.

A team of creatives making a corporate product that can sell a ton to make customers happy, expand sales and keep the business cogs running smoothly is another.

There's a lot more responsibility at stake while leaving personal egos at the door when it comes to big bucks on the line because there's more than one struggling artist's pile of $20 clay vases at stake. It's an entire company, then the game studio, then shareholders, then making as much sales and profits to pay off loans etc...

You'd think all these bitching and moaning gaming employees who hate when their studio shuts down due to bad sales would be doing the opposite and trying to make a good product which makes their fanbase happy clam. Nope. As I said before, I get the feeling that gaming employees dont really give a shit half the time. Many of the people are on contract stints, make good money for a bunch of years, and then move onto another project by the time the game even releases. So they got no more skin in the game (no pun intended). They might even be at a totally different company already.

So if they already got paid and got another job, who really cares if the game isn't the best it can be. Jam in some personal politics and bad dialogue and who cares. The people in this situation are mostly probably contract stinters, not FT workers like other departments who rely on steady work and company revenue all year to hold their job. It's like sabotaging your own product to piss people off knowing by the time the ship sinks youre already on a different boat.

Remember one of the people at SBI specifically said his goal was the burn the gaming industry to the ground, so everything is according to plan.
