Joint CEO Michał Nowakowski isn't having it.
We also live in times where game developers can lie to you about a game and its contents for like ten fucking years, and then on release day try to shrug it off like it’s no big deal that it’s a buggy half-baked mess
Parasites got too comfortable..
Plebs pay like they are made of money 🤡
Conspiracy theories are popular because people often prefer easy answers to reality. And "gays womens disableds bad" is a very easy answer, as it absolves [thanks maccentric] people that are not in those groups from blame.
Some actual conspiracies being true, the world burning and governments doing shit like dragnet surveillance doesn't help either.
We need to restore trust in governments, but for that, we need to get governments we can trust.
we need to get governments we can trust.
Which isn't going to happen if enough people vote along the lines of completely insane conspiracy theories. The candidate who says "I'm going to turn off the Jewish space lasers!!!" is almost certainly not going to be the one who makes the lives of normal people better through empathetic listening.
And "gays womens disableds bad"
Funny because you are the first person I hear to say thing.
It's been taken off Wikipedia but there was a video a few years ago pointing out fox news only became profitable when they switched to the brown people bad and fear rhetoric. There was a theory name for it but it's since been scrubbed from the internet. That's the basis of conservativism.

We live in times where making up bullshit is consequence free, even if you get called out on it. People seem to value if you can speak well more than if you're speaking the truth.
But hey, it's free speech in the marketplace of ideas, so maybe it's actually a good thing.
Far-right fuckwits have created conspiracy theories about everything, just add it to the list.
Jason Shrier pointed this out multiple times in his podcast. He HAS the insider knowledge and shares it when appropriate and he will still see Twitter folks just blaming DEI for the issues any game is having. Sweet Baby Inc is a good one because some YouTubers grabbed on to this company simply because it’s a DEI consulting group, and now it spread like wild fire and you will even see comments on Reddit and Lemmy blaming Sweet Baby Inc for things that no one really know what aspects they worked with and how much.
Parasites got exposed for their grift...
You are the first person on Lemmy I hear mention it tho
The Switcher 3 director left and immediately afterwards CDPR's YouTube channel posts a video on the importance of ESG 🧐
