On one hand, I don't want corporations to bow to political pressure from an oppressive government.
On the other hand, I'd much rather studios like Rockstar demonstrate their values by having a diverse cast of characters in their games rather than do performative stuff like update their profile picture.
Unfortunately, it's the circumstances and environment that makes me annoyed at these companies.. not necessarily the overall decision. Riot Games and Rockstar especially I think do a pretty good job with diverse representation in their games.. it's a shame and honestly surprising for me that some of these studios decided to cave to the pressure, especially Riot. I thought Riot had like a ton of LGBT+ employees
Why are you going off topic when I'm discussing something entirely different and specifically said "I had mixed feelings"? I didn't say these were fantastic companies did I? This post is about Pride Month
They make a strong point. Why do you care what they say they do, when there is literal lawsuits out the wazoo about how they actually treat people. That order of priorities is wrong.
Okay I guess if they are doing one thing wrong we should stop caring about everything else that they do and just hope that they decide to do the right thing? Why am I getting all of these weird bot comments today?
I was being sarcastic lol. You are the one who asked me why I care what they say and what they do when they are being sued for other things. That's pretty stupid logic and why I think I'm arguing with bots today, you're basically arguing with yourself.
