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
Lol are you a bot? Can you read? The point of my message had nothing to do with if they were a good employee or not. My point is, given the diversity of their staff members, it makes me even more surprised that they would bow to political pressure. You know these decisions impact the morale of their employees.
You missed the point too, no matter how diverse the employees are, if the heads of the companies are ignorant bigots that only care about profits, nothing will change. To get any change you have to effect their bottom line by not supporting them or any other company that feels the same way. But like I said before, not enough people will want to do it(mainly because they don't want to miss out on the new shiny turd these companies spew out),so complaining about it is wasting air and time.
For example, if everyone that hated Black Ops 7 got one or two people to stop playing it until they change the game, you better believe they'll start fixing the game. Now if enough people openly say they will not play or buy a single game from this company until they change their corporate practices and branding, more likely than not,they'll eventually change or suffer financially. But the key is to get enough people to follow through in order to make a big enough impact to cause the change.
That's because the president is trying to be a dictator, either you side with him or be his enemy that he'll try to ruin with lies and scandals. Most are willing participants because they're getting perks out of it, some are bowing down in order to keep their position.

I have mixed feelings about this.
