Comment on NCSoft president: "The games industry's evolution towards acceptance and diversity is ongoing"

  Yeah it’s just a loud group of dipshits that want games to be a safe space for their regressive views.

    They can’t go 3 words without saying “woke”.

  The Helldivers 2 Steam review page is covered with reviews from accounts that don’t even own the game begging Arrowhead to “not add WOKENESS!” to the game.

    What review page are you talking about??

    I went to check out the reviews and all I see is people complaining about Sony blocking out so many countries. I don’t see a single “woke” complaint.

    Are you sure you’re not just hearing that people have complained and then assuming they actually did?

      Sorry, you’re correct- it’s not the reviews, but the comments on any announcement made by the devs.

      The lack of mouse icon next to their names means those Steam accounts don’t own the games.

        I wonder how many of them are just bots tbh

        Cause the game is pretty inherently political. The setting is a farcical fascist govt…

        I mean on the plusside, you always know that whenever anybody uses the word “woke” as if it were a real word, you can immediately add them to the blocklist or ban them. Nothing they can add has any value any more.

        I see three comments, two of which mention wokeness and one of which mentions sending the dev team to re-education camp.

        None of the comments is solely about wokeness. Wokeness is mentioned in conjunction with politics.

        One of the comments wants to make sure the game stays “neutral”.

        Note that zero of these comments are complaining about diversity. To those who criticize wholeness, it is a distinct thing from diversity.

        Do you know what people are referring to when they use that word?

    How they can review a game without own it on steam?

    • billiam0202@lemmy.world ⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      I edited my comment, but I was wrong in that it’s not the review page that gets swarmed but the comments on announcements that Arrowhead makes. Anyone can comment on an announcement (which makes sense, if [for example] it’s about an upcoming feature that isn’t out yet.)

        I see, steam community foruns.

        It’s better to not go into these, full of fanboys, haters and stupid people farming fake points.

      I'm guessing they buy, review, refund? Not sure if that also removes the review as I almost never refund or review games.
