did you see the whole context of that statement or are you just parroting sound bites off some Anti-SJW talking head's YouTube video? Because that was referring to basic marketing tactics. Let them know what they stand to lose by not consulting. ie: Public image if they include some problematic material in their game. It wasn't a threat. It's the kind of language all marketing teams use to sell potential clients on the necessity of their services.

Yeah, this sort of stuff is actually cancel culture.

Take a company
Search everything all the employees have said publically
Collect some out of context clips
Exaggerate what they say even out of context
Demand boycotts

Last time I've checked, SBI was the reason Cadia fell... and since you've survived the events of that fateful day, you have become the very same thing you swore to be intolerant about.

No, see, when THEY do it it's called "voting with your wallet". XD

Seriously, SBI is not hiding what they do or how they do it. They are a consulting company that helps write storylines for existing characters.

It's not like SBI walks up to Company X and says "Listen! Put a gay gnome in this game or FACE OUR WRATH!" (rolls eyes)

But Company X decides - beforehand - to put the gay gnome Sherlock Gnomes in their game, and THEN they hire Sweet Baby Jesus to write his storyline. They usually get involved in this stuff AFTER these decisions have been made.

No blackmail, no DEI, ESG, LSD, DMT, or THC funds involved, this is the services for which companies hire them as consultants - then they offer their recommendations and advice - THEN the company decides whether to use it or not.

Unfortunately people don't bother learning truth.

TLDR: You are jumping to conclusions without enough information to justify that jump, and demanding to be refuted rather than doing the leg work required in the first place.

Your way of thinking is exactly why so many people fall for ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.

You should not assign belief and value in something you cannot support with solid evidence, rather than demanding somebody prove something as NOT true. It really is basic logic, and critical thinking skills.

You have questions. Look into them. That is a good start. Where you go wrong is assigning value to lack of answers. Until you can substantiate those questions (which are more claims than questions, really), they are nothing. Not worthy of your thought devotion to them.

You sound like Valeria, who is assuming the case is closed and is at the bar drinking. Nothing to see here move along....

Huge difference. With Valeria, there was an actual murder. Evidence of those murders, and evidence that leads to a certain conclusion to be made. You spend a good chunk of time looking into that evidence, and then finding further evidence which refutes the prior.

You started with a conclusion. No case. No evidence. No justification of your conclusion. Just questions and claims, and asked people to prove it wrong.

To put it simply, Valeria thought they were at the end of a case. I am here, saying we aren't even at the beginning because you haven't even presented a case yet, therefor there is nothing to refute, or even answer.

You can get me to believe what you are saying, but you have to start the case first and not demand a conclusion from me with nothing to go on yet.

Edit: Also, you are ironically proving the point. Your player, in order to prove their claims put in the leg work and provided the evidence of their claim in order to convince others.

Sounds to me like this this Sweet Baby thing is just another snipe hunt. I wonder who next months villain will be?

The really weird part of these conspiracy theories is the part where creatives would have to be forced or bribed into being woke, or whatever. It's like these people have never met someone in media, or even a college grad.

Obviously all artists and writers are old conservative white men who love tradition and hate change.

Yeah, it's pretty funny how backwards he has that comparison to Valeria. HE is doing exactly what Valeria did: Latching onto the easy answer then demanding everyone else prove him wrong. Only in this case, "proving him wrong" is impossible and he has no real proof that he's right. It's the old Teakettle argument. I say there's a teakettle orbiting somewhere between Earth and Mars. You say there's not. I tell you "Well, then prove me wrong.". Even if you somehow scour every millimeter of space in between Earth and Mars, I could just say, "Well, it's constantly moving, you just missed it."

Yeah, because in spite of the right wingnuts' claims, "Go woke, go broke" is nearly always the opposite of the truth. "Woke" doesn't make up for bad writing, though, so a failure that happens to also be "woke" is cited as proof of their myth. Going fash, however, does tend to cause a project to lose cash. With things like proponants of the agenda of a certain racist movie about child trafficking buying up movie tickets to make their message look more popular and thus attract more real attention ( and no I don't buy that the "sold out" showings with all empty seats was a computer glitch ).

It's an act. That way they don't reveal their secret sympathies. They've been using games to push satanism, Marxism and kinky alien sex since since the 80's.

Trust me, all of the ESG stuff you're thinking about right now? That is part of Larian's original vision.
