There's a lot of weird anti-American propaganda I got fed growing up in Canada
Then you come to the USA and you're like - what the hell, this place is awesome
More than half of Massachusetts voters said they canโt point to a signature accomplishment Governor Healey has made during her first term. Yet, the Democrat still appears poised to win reelection easily, a new Suffolk University/Boston Globe poll found. https://t.co/vHCeVMroXa
They block comments because they realize how much no one cares about all this rainbow Pride crap....... I'll be more than happy to watch this company go downhill moving forward
The worlds we create are shaped by the people behind them. Bringing together individuals with different experiences, backgrounds, and perspectives helps us in our goal to create memorable stories that inspire gamers.
That's why we're committed to building an environment where everyone feels respected, supported, and able to contribute. We believe this responsibility extends beyond our teams and into the communities around us.
For several years, we've partnered with Kampania Przeciw Homofobii (Campaign Against Homophobia) to support grassroots LGBTQ+ initiatives across Poland. We're also proud that CD PROJEKT RED was recently included in the sixth edition of the Diversity IN Check list, organized by Forum Odpowiedzialnego Biznesu (Responsible Business Forum). And, as in previous years, REDs joined the Warsaw Pride parade. ๐ณ๏ธโ๐

@Breaking911 Why not just abandon ideological theme nights at sporting events? Just go to a baseball game where the only agenda is winning the game. I donโt need to be reminded that there are gay people on earth. I already know and I donโt really care.
> Pay $70 for the game
> Deal with microtransactions
> Still get exposed to ads
Theyโll monetize the fuck out of us, sell our attention to advertisers, and look us dead in the eye and say "games cost too much to make"
Why am I paying a premium price tag if you're gonna treat it like a F2P game?
If ingame ads are meant to make up for rising AAA dev costs, shouldn't the base price of the game drop? (Spoiler: It won't.)
Modern ad tech built into game engines actively monitors your positioning, movement speed, and camera angles to measure exactly how many seconds your crosshair hovered on a specific brand.
The dystopian shit is that EA has already filed patents for a mood-based targeting system:
- Just lost a FIFA match in the 90th minute? The engine knows you're mad and serves a specific ad.
- Just won a game? You get a different ad tailored to an endorphin spike.
Sure, theyโre starting with sports games. Real stadiums have ads, so they can easily say "it enhances realism!" We're already used to seeing realworld sponsors in EAFC and Madden, so we're way more likely to just accept it.
But today it's banners in EAFC, tomorrow it's billboards in Battlefield. And unlike skins or microtransactions (which you can at least try to ignore) these environmental ads are permanently slapped onto the world you're playing in.
Game worlds are built for creative purposes. If you see a billboard in a game, it's because an artist put it there for worldbuilding, not because an ad division sold that space to Nike.
But soon, level designers and environment artists are going to be pressured to find ways to cram branded content into their maps without pissing people off. It'll shift the priority from "what makes this fun to play?" to "where can we stick a McDonalds ad so the player stares at it?"
We've officially reached the point where games aren't even products. They're just tools designed to squeeze every last drop of value out of you.
$70 entry fee + battle pass + cosmetics + now a literal ad network on top...
Where do we finally draw the line?
Don't forget though his birthday happens to fall on Flag Day so doing something patriotic that day isn't necessarily about his birthday speaking of which I heard a lot of criticism in the media about that but not once they mention it, also what a way to kick off flash week for 250th
The new trend toward "woke lite" in games is a response to the backlash from gamers against overt woke. We chose not to buy. Now woke comes in less overt form.
Think of video games like baking a cake. How much fecal matter would you ideally like in the cake batter?
The answer is obvious. We want ZERO fecal matter in the cake batter. Likewise, we want ZERO woke in our games.
Zero is the goal. The end point of this culture war battle is the complete & total elimination of every last inkling of woke propaganda from games & game development.
Yes, this means no mentally ill gender dysphoric freaks in the development studio.
Ypure playing BF7, and for some reason the Coke ad is indestructible while everything else on the map gets obliterated, your new free skin is red and black with the Coca Cola logo instead of the american flag, or red white blue with a Pepsi flag. Tactical vehicles? no way just a Ram TRX or a Ford Raptor bone stoxk for product placement. On the other hand we can finally get real cars in games like GTA if this becomes big enough lol.
EA launched new EA Advertising team that will add ads to their games, starting in Sports titles
"Integrate directly into gameplay through dynamic, real-time placements, from stadium signage to custom in-game content, designed to enhance, not disrupt, the player experience"
@Reik3r@TMZ Ai doesnt always have up to date info, especially something that happened this recently not all ai scans the web in real time for info, some will do it when prompted and do updates periodically
@User729@Gavin_McInnes Go right ahead I can acknowledge that we use pdf as a general term, but getting called one or a defender for simply pointing out a factual categorization is wild af ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ๐คฃ and surprisingly by accounts based in the USA. Shows you how far gone the intellect in this country is.
