Wait wait wait…….so Druckmann made it a point even in tlou2 documentary that they are eliminating crunch.
And they’ve been taking their sweet ass time with this game that won’t be released until 2027
But a review demo is where they break the promise? RIP employees in 2027

No, that's just it. They'll GLADLY allow gender-affirming care to cis youth.
They are going to punish ONLY transition-related care. This is an attack only against trans youth, not against gender-affirming care writ large.

The “diversity” complaint is drawing a lot of laughter here, but the fact is that Calibri is a more accessible font for people with visual impairments, for example, than Times New Roman.
So yes, it’s a silly and pointless decision, but it’s also shitty for the sake of being shitty.

Times New Roman is an imported font, developed for London newspaper The Times in 1931. You know what American-designed font cooked up in 1994 would be perfect for this regime? Comic Sans.

You know, if I was going to make a petty, spiteful change because I was upset by the concept of choosing a sans serif for accessibility grounds, I’d still pick a more interesting one than Times New Roman. You’ve just gone from the new MS Word default to the old one.
