Wtf is this supposed to achieve?
i think people who post twitter screenshots should have their heads sawed off
Some apologist said they're just doing it so they don't get attacked.
This whole thing is one big operation to get everyone to move to steam. Gaben's started buying everyone out and he's not stopping any time soon.
I really wish the Alt-Right/Gamergate cumstains who get mad at game companies allying with #blacklivesmatter would actually LEAVE gaming, but we all know that all they're going to do is triple the amount of bitching they do.
People with twitter accounts*
The protests mean that less people will be available to consume their promotional event. This way they get to virtue signal and time their advertisements to when people get bored with activism.
Pirating every game I can from now on with 0 remorse
>wtf is this supposed to achieve?
If literally every game company is standing against police brutality, then it sends a signal that racism isn't welcome in the public sphere.
That's why /vpol/ is so afraid by this, this makes them realize that they aren't as relevant or as powerful as they think they were, and that they're losing their foothold in the culture war.
And here I thought Japs were based and immune to cultural marxist brainwashing.
They're doing whatever they think is best for business. It's just like the China shit.
Black voices are more important than Hong Kong voices apparently
it makes Black people think their lives matter.
If Blizzard went ahead with their Warcraft livestream, Blacks around the world would think their very existence DIDN'T matter instead
Feels like every video game company had something lined up for June, now they all gotta wait. Pretty annoying, but companies gotta virtue signal so you buy more of their product.
Even Pewdiepie betrayed us...it's over bros.....
Blizzard's okay with protesting as long as it isn't Hong Kong.
>more virtue signalling companies
Do people honestly GENUINELY believe these companies care about them?
This
>More important voiced than ours need to be heard
Am I the only one thinks this sounds very egotistical? Do they think everyone views them as a god?
Shadowlands more like niggerlands HAHA
Why are you upset?
>That's why /vpol/ is so afraid by this, this makes them realize that they aren't as relevant or as powerful
I don't think anyone ever doubted that the media, academia, corporate power and most of the political class were liberal though.
If anything I think the delusion is from liberals who imagine themselves standing against "Voldemort" when they literally control every major institution in every single western country.
This is such a braindead take
Here's the thing, everyone fucking knows that corporations exist to make profit. Anyone who graduated high school knows that.
The point is that you either accept that the capitalist system is here to stay, indefinitely, or you don't. If you do, then you can be "on the left" or agree with leftist policies if they revolve around regulating corporations so they provide outcomes that we want, in spite of the profit incentive. You can accept that corporations are profit-driven but that we can "trick" them into doing positive things through incentives, social pressure, etc. That is why a "liberal" may praise a corporation for doing this, because they are not inherently against the idea or the existence of private enterprise.
The only people who would be fundamentally against this are literal communists or anarchists who think the very existence of corporations are evil and they should be completely abolished. And many people are not actual communists or anarchists in practice, even if they sympathize with some of the rhetoric employed (i.e. that the wealthy tend to fuck over the poor, corporations can do fucked up things). The people who whine about companies "virtue signalling" most certainly do not tend to be literal communists either, nor do they identify with the far left that would actually be concerned about this.
This argument is like something a 16 year old atheist thinks is clever. "Bruh, did you know corporations only care about profit?" Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.
Why are people surprised? Blizzard isn't about standards, it's about chasing money.
They opposed the HK protests because they risked losing China money.
They support BLM because if they don't, they risk losing liberal money.
Always been about the money.
Okay, is this fucking shopped?
>I don't think anyone ever doubted that the media, academia, corporate power and most of the political class were liberal though.
Gauging from the "I'm gonna pirate erry game now to teach them a lesson!" responses to these announcements by Nintendo amongst others, I doubt it.
Holy shit TL;DR you fucking nigger
>STAY INSIDE YOU FUCKING MONSTERS YOU'RE GOING TO KILL YOUR GRANDMA
>WHY AREN'T YOU OUTSIDE AND PROTESTING YOU FUCKING WHITE SUPREMACIST
Standing against police brutality
>They feared the vocal minority
When is this shit going to end? What more do niggies want from everyone? How long till Zig Forums isn't a temporary Zig Forums?
empty words and nominal gestures have accomplished absolutely nothing in the entirety of history. fuck off biden voter.
Niggers and liberals are fucking braindead hypocrites the fuck did you expect?
Kill yourself you stupid motherfucker. BLM is attacking children, you all should be exterminated.
All the important voices have just been "Give money to BLM" like that's somehow going to stop police brutality.
>You can accept that corporations are profit-driven but that we can "trick" them into doing positive things through incentives, social pressure, etc.
I don't think it's tricking anyone or anything. I think people in the western world are overwhelmingly liberal and that extends to most of the corporate class too.
As for doing "positive things". This will change nothing. This US will still have:
>Massive government debt
>Massive consumer debt
>Massive wealth inequality
>Deindustrialized
>Decrepit infrastructure
>No sense of common identity, too diverse
>Incompetent government officials at every level: local mayors, governors, executive level, legislature etc
>Incapable of controlling riots despite having the most militarized police in the world
>Incidence and severity of mental illness gets worse every year
>Porn culture gets more mainstream every year
>Drug use gets worse every year
>Popular culture is things like mumble rap
>Forces that enable this, like giant web companies, are now more powerful than the state
Postponing livestreams and other announcements might be wise right now. Each nigga rioting on the streets isn't watching their advertisements right now. Might as well wait until all of this has blown over and people care about consuming the next pile of shit [BRAND] shits at them
>Zig Forums claims to be the free speech website
>defends the government literally imposing curfews that restrict your free speech
>defends the police state enforcing these curfews through violence
>defends the police state censoring the press, which is also expressing their free speech
>defends the police state telling you what you can film on your own private property
And no, the coronavirus is not comparable because that was social pressure to stay home, not the government literally beating you up if you don't stay home. People still protested the shutdowns and the cops didn't do shit
>police brutality
>racism
pick one
Not sure what the goal was. But before I had apathy for the movement, now I actively dislike it.
This isn't about police brutality. Nobody cares about anyone except the niggers. Go fuck yourself, you terrorist sympathizer.
Can someone explain to a non-American why everyone is so butthurt about racism? What the fuck are they doing to niggers over there that makes everyone this upset?
>the tragic death of George Floyd
how is a known criminal and drug addict overdosing on fentanyl while on probation "tragic"?
Save that Pewdiepie will be able to get tax returns from "donating" everyone else's money.
Sega's also smart enough to profit from it.
>Drump killed 10000000 people by not doing anything to stop the corona
>Drumpf killed 1000000 black people, why is he stopping the prostests?
>Drumpf killed 100000 more people from the second wave of corona that spread during the protest, why didn't he do anything?
>go to russia
>have to have dash cam
>weird numbers of them carrying uzis in their cars
no thanks
>black people
WE ARE OPPRESSED!
>also black people
Have entire media, politicians, companies, journos and what not behind them
WHO THE FUCK BELIVES THOSE NIGGERS?!
ALSO GET THE FUCK OUT! I JUST WANT TO PLAY VIDEO GAMES
You BLM niggers don't even care about black lifes since you never talk about black on black crimes.
>when you realize all of these companies were planning on postponing this shit anyway but now they just have a convenient excuse
Race War let's gooo!
AAAAAAAAAHHH I'M SO FUCKING BORED
Why do they insist on taking away any form of escapism as if that gains them respect? I don't give a shit about America's black issues.
