Wtf does that mean
I sorta asked what he meant and he looked at me like I was dumb and said “you know, the Ls, the Ds, the Gs”. I’m guessing he meant LGBTQ people, but idfk. The guy gives me bad reactionary vibes, so it wouldn’t surprise me.
I look it up afterwards and most places talking about it online are accurately pointing out the company just sucks and management is awful, but I feel like that’s been common knowledge for like a decade at this point.
Is this some right wing gamer bug of the month or something? Cause I’m way outta the loop
God I hate anti-wokes. There are so many valid criticisms gamers could be making on games but these guys blaming marginalized groups instead of the real culprits makes real discussion impossible. Now you either have the anti-woke gamers or the other type that reject any type of criticism of games at all because complaining is now associated with the anti-woke crowd.

reminiscing fondly upon the times where the larger gamersphere thought Bobby Kotick was Hitler
Remember Jack Thompson?
Right? Like absolute ages ago, I actually seriously cared about ethics in game journalism. I still do, but recognize it’s a very minor issue in the scheme of things.
It’s absurd that there were industry mailing lists/chatrooms where people were asking other journos to cut their friend’s game a break, people reviewing games built by their drinking buddies without even mentioning the personal relationship in passing, and (game) companies using their (often piss poor) representation of marginalized groups to try and silence valid non-bigoted criticism.
So I fell into GamerGate for a while. For a bit despite the behinning, they seemed to be primarily focused on getting journos to use responsible disclosure. I’m glad that trend mostly caught on.
It’s so frustrating that it ended up being a vehicle for “anti-woke”, racism, and misogyny to become openly acceptable to a whole chunk of people.
