When I decided to create the Steam curator Sweet Baby Inc. Detected, my goal was to warn players about people who wanted to turn video games into tools for ideological messaging and political propaganda.
Things escalated far beyond anything I ever imagined and today, terms like DEI are widely known across the global gaming community.
We have also seen Sweet Baby Inc. become increasingly secretive, and having your game associated with Sweet Baby Inc. has effectively become a badge of shame, leading to significant losses in sales and reputation among gamers.
Over the past few weeks, I have been watching the industry's movements closely, and the reemergence of Anita Sarkeesian as a relevant figure is deeply concerning. This is someone who has already done far too much damage to the video game industry with her toxic and hateful ideas, combined with the influence she somehow still holds within the industry.
I see a situation very similar to what we had with Sweet Baby Inc.: a malicious individual trying to use video games to spread twisted and hateful ideologies, using gaming as a vehicle for propaganda.
That is why I have decided to start including games connected to Anita Sarkeesian in the Sweet Baby Inc. Detected curator.
We need not only to warn players that the game they are thinking about buying may be helping fund Anita Sarkeesian's disgusting work, but also to send a clear message to the industry that WE WILL NOT ACCEPT OUR ENTERTAINMENT BEING TURNED INTO PROPAGANDA. PERIOD.
However, I cannot do this alone, not this time. Unlike Sweet Baby Inc., Anita Sarkeesian does not provide a ready made list of games she has worked on through her official website. She does list clients, but not specific games. And I simply cannot spend endless hours every day tracking down and investigating these titles anymore. Life happens. Bills need to be paid, and I have to focus on work that actually brings financial return. I am being completely honest with you here.
But I know many of you can help track these games down. To get things started, I have added Slay the Spire 2 to the Sweet Baby Inc. Detected curator.
If you can help identify more titles connected to her, please email me at [email protected]. Only games with undeniable proof of her involvement will be added. As always, I do not want to be unfair to anyone, nor do I want to spread false information.
ROUND 2 BEGINS NOW!
@SmashJT It's funny how AI models default to Asien types when prompted for attractive women, but apparently defaults to a very samey looking western archetype when you prompt it. Even AI knows that the gold lies in the east arm. 😂
@Grummz To be honest, from a graphical fidelity standpoint that would be awesome. Imagine booting up any old classic and getting the graphics boosted into 2026.
Still, there is something to remakes/remasters, as they often bring new fidelity to controls and such as well.
@tyminski_marek@KPunk__ Cmon now, don't call her out. Not everybody can fact check themselves before they wreck themselves e-vomitting into conversations. 🤷🏻♂️
@MadamSavvy Normally I do like your line of argumentation, but in this case there are no winners I think. Meta, Google, Apple etc. rake in 25-30% of revenue from the EU and there are specialised suppliers here, that the US cannot simply exchange in a wink. Intel would grind to a halt rq.
@ThreepioZee@TPPNewsNetwork Sony may regret not reigning in Neil Druckmann.
The Damage he has done to 2 brands now, one beloved and one not even out yet, is wild. 🤷🏻♂️
@FrancescoSolbak Drop 1 project - chances are ur full attention should be on 1 anyway and there is just no easy way to say this...the gf needs to go. Sacrifices have to be made.
Or you fix her on games and that's ur quality time moving forward - this option lacks drama n gravitas though. 🤷🏻♂️
