You would not believe how many stories like this have been popping up over the last ~5 years

Not just full games cancelled—entire characters and plot lines removed or changed, leaving less time for making the *rest of the game better*, to try avoiding a small and malicious contingent of voices.

SCOOP: Last year, Ubisoft cancelled an Assassin's Creed game set during Reconstruction. Was to feature a Black Assassin who, among other things, fought the rise of the Klan

Sources: Leadership nixed it over concerns re: U.S. political climate, backlash to Yasuke

Watching Ubisoft almost do something interesting and possibly profound only to press the abort button is equal parts disappointing, offensive, and infuriating.

GOP can’t comprehend an American finding this level of success and popularity without the 50 states and they’re so upset about it lol

I wonder how mid their internals are because a month ago Activision was out here saying they’re not even concerned with Battlefield.

I need parasocial leftist fans of streamers to understand that your politics being infinitely better than a fascist’s doesn’t mean you’re not a fucking weirdo when you melt down at the mere possibility that an on-camera personality you’ve become far too attached to may not be the greatest person.

My hatred of people losing their jobs is clashing with my desire to see the people responsible for all this dumb shit go away.

I guess I’ll find out what happened with the art theft if I get into the next test. I just won’t be allowed to talk about it this time. Maybe that’s why the NDA is there.

Imagine having Greta Lee be the first recognizable person in full view in the first trailer for your movie and she’s not the lead. Imagine being a whole dumbass.

How come major film studios keep being like Jared Leto may have allegations, but at least he looks weird, stars in box office bombs, and is not a good actor

And yes I know one had the advantage of being based on a manga. And it’s not like that show doesn’t also have issues.

Also if you’re going to cast a cis person playing a trans woman I’ll take casting a cis woman over a cis man every time.

Without meaning to wade into deep waters regarding cultural differences and shows that aren’t really the same: It’s hard to be a fan of two shows in the “play life or death games while unraveling the mystery” genre & not feel like Alice in Borderland ended up being a much better show than Squid Game

Seeing people say it makes sense for Jared Leto to be in Fortnite because it’s T for Teen.

Y’all ever put yourself on a list for a closed test for a game you have no intention of actually buying because the company did something bad? Asking for no reason at all (because if it were to happen for me I wouldn’t be allowed to talk about it this time around).

Listen. If you didn't want to be seen as the Twitter escape pod, you shouldn't have deliberately fostered a community of people so united by their contempt for arbitrary authority and love of absolute free speech that they were willing to abandon a platform they'd been using for 15 years

Nice to know that despite this rivalry being 124 matches long now, both Sounders and Timbers fans can come together mid-match to be bummed about the Mariners losing.
