If you are one of those people who can't accept others because they don't fit your worldview, because they are gay, lesbian, bi, trans or queer, who considers people with different skin color, religion, or ancestry than your own to be foreign or abnormal, who can't stand them or even insults them, in what way ever, or who is incapable of respecting women and is violent; who votes for "parties" that are disgusting and inhuman, supports them, sympathizes with them or is active as a politician for them (yes, I’m referring especially to the AfD in Germany), then I want to make this perfectly clear:
I don’t want you as a customer!
I don’t want to see you at our events or conferences. Neither as a visitor nor as a speaker!
I don’t want to have anything at all to do with you!
If you are one of those people and are about to buy one of our games: Don’t!
If you bought one of our games and can still return it: Do so!
And if you are one of those experts who think "Then you'll sell fewer games", let me tell you a little secret: You are not the center of this universe or our bank balance. There are more than seven billion people in this world and therefore enough customers with their hearts in the right place and who are not just contemptible fecal defecatory orifices!

Ask yourself why you're angry.
And thus the summary of the day. One could do a press release on a law or concept that most people technically would agree with, everyday for a year straight.
With absolutely no connected reason or event, reasonable people however are going to say; weird flex bro, seems like woke garbage virtue signaling to us.
Meanwhile the woke argument is the equivalent of: Our name is ANTIFA, we are Anti-Fascist, if you don't support us then GuEsS YoU MuSt Be FaScIsT.
People of reason however realized you all stopped using words correctly a long time ago.
Yeah, you don't at all sound like a guy that's utterly invested in a culture war. "Did you say racists are bad? That's virtue signaling! What about anti-fascists!"
You don't come across as a person of reason, you come across as a person entirely consumed with his own emotions and not thinking clearly.
Let's put it another way. Let's say that someone was never military, but tried to frequently pass off that he was. Stolen valor. Would you say that anyone that didn't want those stealing valor as customers was virtue signaling? Or is having people fake being military, or at least try to lead people to believe they're military, is so gross that it's ok to be against them, and if a lot of them happen to show up, being loud about not wanting their money is just common sense?
Oh yea, I'm the consumed one, meanwhile you straight up started to make up quotes I said to justify your crap takes. We made it to this point due to normal people not standing up to people like you. A good chunk of the woke strategy is making it painful in one way or another to say no, I don't agree with your flawed concepts. Everything is a word game, social positioning, round-about nonsense to act like you have the "right" position on things.
Your example hilariously misses the point. This CEO could totally post today they think Stolen Valor is bad a thing, and the super majority would agree, but also everyone would be wondering; why are you bringing this up as a video game company press release with no attached event? And thus we are back to, sooooo apparently this infers the company is pro anything they have not publicly denounced yet?
You say others are fighting a culture war but you keep whining about "woke."
You say I am making up quotes, but you began this by making up a corporate loss and are still too stubborn to admit you were wrong. You double down endlessly.
You're utterly irrational, you're not at all self aware, and you're an emotional wreck over these things. That you think you're the reasonable or sensible one when literally everyone is pointing out how incorrect you are is telling. You're probably going "I'm never going back to that echo chamber" rather than taking a moment to self reflect and realize maybe it's not an echo chamber, maybe you're just being irrational

It is possible to applaud the sentiment but also question why it is being expressed when no one asked.
Dude! Seriously I just want theses motherfuckers to argue over one of my post's for a change.
fakespyder wrote on Jul 27, 2021, 18:32:Yeah, while I'm 100% on this guy's side, it seems unnecessarily pre-emptive. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good God, more of the get woke go broke bullshit. Sorry if you're some bigoted, racist, asswhole who things they are being singled out and persecuted for your extremely Conservative Christian Patriot believes. I can only imagine the hell you must experience when someone says "Hey, brah, stop be a dick".
Didn't Jebus Christ get nailed to a tree or something for saying "Brah, just be cool".
Well obviously anyone that doesn't subscribe to the radical left's Orwellian brain washing and participation medals must be a hardcore racist and bigot. Keep your virtue signalling bullshit to yourself because normal human beings don't fucking care.

I'm not exactly shy about voicing my disdain for corporations that put money above everything else, so on the surface, this seems like a breath of fresh air. But color me skeptical. As has already been pointed out, inclusive companies are doing just fine. He's literally taking zero risk here. Sorry but I can't shake the feeling that all he is doing is scoring some touchy-feely points along the way. I don't believe him.

Well looking at the games they make I don't foresee not being a customer of theirs being a problem for most people. Get woke, go broke.
Yeah, look at all those idiot companies being woke.
I mean, it's not like Apple are making any money, are they?
Oh, they are?
Alright, well, look at Disney! They made Star Wars for SJWs and they made no money at all?
Huh... really? A billion dollars each?
Marvel.. bloody wokesters!
Biggest movie franchise of all time? 22 billion dollars?
But yeah, I mean....boo to that! I only want racists and assholes as my customers! Oh, Fox News is losing viewers....
