You'd never see this level of integrity in the FGC, good on the GeoGuessr community 👏

BREAKING NOW: "all major world maps" on the online game GeoGuessr have been privated in protest of GeoGuessr's decision to participate in the Esports World Cup in Riyadh.

map creators write that the EWC is used by Saudi Arabia "to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record."

full:

We, the creators of a considerable share of GeoGuessr's most popular maps, have decided to make our maps unplayable in protest of GeoGuess AB's decision to host a World Championship wildcard tourney at the Esports World Cup (EWC) in Riyadh.
The EWC is a sportswashing tool used by the government of Saudi Arabia to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record.
Groups targeted by the government include women, LGBTQ people, apostates and atheists, political dissenters, migrant workers in the Kafala system, religious minorities, and many others. The subjugation of these groups is extensive and pervasive. Members of these groups are routinely subjected to discrimination, imprisonment, torture, and even public executions. These severe human rights violations are well-documented and indisputable.
By participating in the EWC, GeoGuessr is contributing to that sportswashing agenda, which is designed to take attention away from Saudi Arabia's human rights violations.

The GeoGuess community is diverse and includes many members of groups that would be harshly persecuted were they to live in Saudi Arabia. In solidarity with those currently residing in Saudi Arabia while being subject to oppression, as well as members of the community who would feel and be unsafe attending the tournament in Riyadh, we have decided to black out our maps by replacing all their previous locations with random garbage locations, rendering them unplayable.
This blackout includes dozens of creators and their maps, including a supermajority of the most popular competitively relevant world maps. It will continue until we see action from GeoGuess; specifically, we demand that GeoGuess cancels its wildcard event in Saudi Arabia and commits to not hosting any events there as long as it continues its oppressive regime.
You don't play games with human rights.
Thank you for reading.
The GeoGuess mapping community

at some point I really think there needs to be some sort of large scale pushback on Valve for their complete abdication of responsibility in moderating steam forums to every individual developer regardless of whether or not they asked for it, allowing this tumour to completely fester.

Justin Wong has always been the biggest shill in the entire FGC. There's no sponsor too shady or unethical for him to glaze, he just takes the money and asks no questions.

If there was fighting games on Epstein island he'd book the first flight there and vlog about how the buffets are godlike.

A lot of people hate on DOA 6, and I can certainly understand that.

I actually like it because my favorite DOA character (Tamaki) is exclusive to 6 and you can do pterodactyl combos.

At least we'll always have the classics that play considerably better than their boring-as-shit modern incarnations.

Remembering that the VF6 unveil video had a congratulations from the Saudi Esports Federation, so as far as I'm concerned this genre is done. All fighting game companies will succumb to esportswashing.

Aw man, fgbg.art is down. One of my favorite sites for retro fighting game art, the source is up on github for anyone who'd like to continue that work: github.com/city41/fgbg

I've never found the author on socials, would love to thank them for doing the thing as long as they did!

So, a month ago, Crunchyroll got virtually jumped on here for using AI for their subtitles, just for them to recently replace the AI they were using with another AI that's from AN ISRAELI COMPANY.

It's bad enough you was using AI but now you're using AI that came from ISRAEL?!
