@haydencd:

Super proud of Bethesda for reiterating their “Fuck Nazis” stance even when it’s likely done them financial harm. The bar is literally on the floor and they walked over it, but kudos.

Also proud of DICE for telling Battlefield’s worst factions to get lost.

Keep it coming.

@haydencd:

There are people who consistently ruin or degrade the lives of developers, journalists, and other community members, and instead of saying “You’re not welcome here” publishers are like “Nah, we’ll undermine the art to cater to those people too. Need the money.”

It’s a choice.

Let’s not be too quick to celebrate lesbian character representation at E3 until we know for sure they’re not all getting killed off by each game’s end

Hey Video Games, if I wanted to see America driven to the brink of starvation and thirst with neighbor pitted against neighbor in a lawless militia state I’d wait like 4 years.

@BrendanSinclair:

Really, really done with games where society collapses into a might-makes-right hellscape where 1/3rd of the people are hyperviolent psychos, 1/3rd exist to be victims, and 1/3rd are good guy hyperviolent psychos.

@transgamerthink:

Might as well mention that The Division plays into a very specific power fantasy of government sanctioned violence and the allure of having a badge in a way that I find really weird.

@leighformayor:

EA spent like 10 minutes talking about a game SET in World War 2 and didn’t even mention the word Nazi once. Thank you, Bethesda. Condemning nazism really isn’t that fucking hard hey.

@Campster:

Anyways Microsoft needed to prove they have exclusives to justify their console and they did so by buying a bunch of devs to force platform constraints so uh

Yay?

@Vahn16:

given that steam has previously been overwhelmed by nazi groups, a gambling epidemic, and tons of scams, it’s kind of amazing to me that they decided on EVEN LESS MODERATION [steamed.kotaku.com]

@Campster:

There’s no way I think you can look at what happened to, say, Twitter and conclude that “any speech not illegal is welcome here, if you don’t like it just block it!” is a viable or healthy strategy.
