You’re probably right that most companies would have done the same/similar, but the fact remains that only Blizzard actually did it, thus the hate. That, and a fair bit of opportunistic outrage from, well, lots of people, which turned up the volume a bit more than was probably warranted.
Blizzard handled the situation extremely poorly, the backlash is plenty fair
The thing is, this isn’t just about Activision, but corporate greed in general. Activision is forcing the company it bought to support an opresive regime and make sub-par games while exploiting it’s workers, because while those at Blizzard care about their fans, Activision surely doesn’t.
Its not that people want someone to blame. The reason people are upset is because this is a greater and more known impact by China. I have not heard of any gaming companies stifling freedom of speech for china at all.
I love it. Everyone sucks in this story, but in the most petty and futile ways. It’s perfect.
if she admitted she did wrong and pointed to all the good she has done. I think she should have stayed. But I get the feeling she believes she didn’t do anything wrong.
In the “Thanks, I hate it” category, Nintendo gave us Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in virtual reality last night.…
Gods, these are completely terrible. What marketing department would approve an illegible logo? And whose idea was the Virtual Boy crimson monochrome color scheme? A blind person?

Should I point out that Pete has a serious mental illness, and that living with a parent is maybe not the worst/most pathetic idea for an employed, single adult who struggles with suicidal ideation and other self-harm issues? No? We’re going to continue making fun of everything this person does, even though he’s…
The neat thing about this is it’s the opposite of black magic - it’s extremely easy to do and pretty straightforward. The hard part is just getting the idea.
Nothing says “These guys have some really legitimate points” like an MS Paint image with illegible writing on it. Pffft
In Eminem’s origin story he’s bit by a radioactive Summer’s Eve.
And you can use that time waiting for your delivery to remind your LGBTQ friends and family that your love of gross fast food is more important than their equality! Thank you, Kate Bernot!
So long as people are telling women which way they “prefer” women to look and using that as a way to judge them and their actions (such as he did when he preferred sans makeup and pinned it on the “lie” of self-confidence through makeup), you’re part of the problem because you’re taking the spotlight away from a…
The use of the n-word discredits the quotation from the get-go. I understand what it is supposed to mean - Women are at the bottom of the barrel of any group - so why not just say that? That would leave the view open to the fact that being at the bottom of the barrel can make for a varied set of experiences depending…
