I’m honestly struggling to think of any big game that’s racist against white guys wtf are they are on about

Racism against white male gamerz is acknowledging other groups of people exist

Being Racist against white guys means (I think ) recognizing that non white guys are equally human

I remember when Starfield came out a bunch of people kept talking about how anti white it is and how there were no white people in the game and then you play it and like half of the people in the little adventurers club you join are white, including the leader and the wealthy mogul funding the whole thing.

Anyway it was a lovely game but that was still bullshit.

YES, CLIFFORD THE BIG RED DOG IS ABSOLUTELY A KAIJU
There’s some company called Sweet Baby, inc that does diversity consulting for some big companies. Their CEO said some stuff that compared gamers to fussy babies that want to be spoon fed the same thing over and over but need to be made to eat something new. Also something about how employees should talk to their marketing dept and “terrify” them about what happens if they don’t do the diversity consulting. Some other employee also made a bunch of deleted tweets basically calling cis white people gross a couple years ago that got dredged up. This got kicked off when someone made a steam group called sweet baby detected for people to avoid their games that one of the sweet baby employees tried to get shut down via rallying mass reporting on twitter, but valve wound up putting back up.

They basically sound like a bunch of shitheads, but they also make an easily hateable face for a bunch of anti-woke/alt-right grifters to rant about when they go on their spiels so it’s getting boosted. Like, they would have you believe this company is part of some global WEF forced diversity conspiracy to destroy gaming and their examples are the suicide squad game bombing (it was live service cash grab poo poo) and starfield (it came out half-finished and it isn’t even confirmed that this company even worked on it).

yeah. like some of their stuff sounds like they are kinda pricks who probably say dumb poo poo and are probably pompous dickhead even if well meaning ones. but lol if you blame them for like AAA gaming having a ton of loving issues and poo poo. i liked suicide squad but also lol its not worth 80 loving dollars. i also didnt care for spider-man 2 but it wasnt because of "evil woke"

The issue with AAA games to me is bloat mixed with GASS bullshit and chasing trends.

Didn’t they provide a heap of the debt financing? If so they’ll probably be able to take over if it ends up being bankrupted.

the saudis rolled over their ~$1.9 billion of stock ownership in pre-musk twitter into musk-twitter, they didn't invest anything new

the vast majority came from US investment banks


(the saudis may have kept their money invested as a way to exert leverage / collect info, or they may just have been under the same delusion that musk wasn't a complete idiot. anyways currently I'm sure they're pressuring musk to hand over data on local dissidents etc... but TBQH musk would probably do that even if they weren't investors. he does the same for Modi in india.)

Given that there's no other practical reason for this kind of rhetoric to be flying or exist, I'm like 99% positive they're just being whipped into a vague state of readiness to be the personal peasant Twitter army of an affluence institution, which Musk seems linked to.

It's really great seeing stuff like this because it keeps confirming that Musk is DROWNING and "X" is going up in smoke.

From what I understand, he likes it like this, it drives him forward to WORK HARDCORE

all his companies go to the brink, then a miraculous save at the end

Unfortunately all those last-minute saves were all thanks to the work of very smart people who work around Elon, and in this case, he's fired all of them, anyone still working at X is either a moron, a racist, or trapped in that job because of various issues (could be a combo of all three)

so yeah, still a slomo trainwreck, but it's fun to watch
