I’m not familiar with his work, but his name has a certain ring to it.

The Academy knows two things; that people aren’t happy with the way things are, and that people don’t want things to change.

Now this leaves me in a very criticizable position as I can’t give specifics without outing where I worked. I’m not going to jump in front of the lawyers who are behind the NDA I signed, or put my severance package at risk.

Boy, you sure showed him.

This, folks? This right here is how you apologize for jumping to a conclusion that isn’t entirely founded. Good job, herogear, the Internet needs more people who behave like you; acknowledge your mistake, explain the thinking that led to your comment, then try to not do the same thing in the future. :)

That’s a perfect record right there. 

Bruh don’t jeopardize your safety, your undercover status is of paramount importance and only you can save us, you have to stay safe and secret! You're like the One Ring! 

Ahh, the “you’re not telling the truth but i won’t say anything to prove otherwise but I promise i’m right” schtick.

I appreciate it! I promise we’re not going to give anyone a pass when it comes to reporting on wrongdoing or problematic conditions at game companies, no matter how much we might like their games.

Sorry about that - I’ve just seen articles here hit harder about this stuff. This one only really mentions Naughty Dog and CDPR - two other devs that are well-liked here and in general, so it felt like this was supposed to be a ‘pass.’

You know, this is a horseshit comment, and while your intentions are no doubt good, you appear to have forgotten where you’re aiming. This is Kotaku. We have our faults, but pulling punches ain’t one of them.

I’m not of the all or nothing contingent

Some activism is better than no activism.  People like you are the worst.

I’m sure you think it’s not, because you’re trapped inside it, but it absolutely is. I mean, you’re even giving it away again in your second sentence. You’re incensed that the author is not as politically righteous as you. That’s what it’s about. I’m sure I’ll get another angry response where you say the exact same…

Also the smuggled-artifacts thing: https://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-way/2018/05/01/607582135/hobby-lobbys-smuggled-artifacts-will-be-returned-to-iraq 

Do you seriously not know the problem people have with Hobby Lobby?

I get it.

It’s arguably irrational to draw moral lines with how you spend your dollars in a capitalist society.

The problem with that though is that the SA events are guaranteed pay days from the Saudi government. The only thing that’d incentivise them not to do deals with authoritarian nightmare regimes is losing more money than those shows gain them, which means less subs and less PPV sales on US shows.

I applaud your decision. Some people will say you’re irrational and probably compare you to the people who burnt their Nike gear after the Kaepernick endorsement. But to me, this is a fair way to protest a companies actions. Unfortunately, I don’t think it change the WWE’s mind. There’s just too much money on the line.…
