Gee these men-children are going to be awfully sad when there’s no one left to make their games for them anymore and they have nothing left to do but face the shitty reality they’ve created.
It looks like someone at Activision is leaking Slack screenshots to right-wing X users

Um… The gaming industry did much, MUCH better before it was filled with activists.

Sounds like a “I liked Star Trek before it was woke” take.

activists.Capitalists. The word you’re looking for is capitalists.

Such a moronic take based on absolutely nothing.

By what metric? Business is booming.
mojofrododojo@lemmy.world 3 months ago
before it was filled with activists.
and exactly when was this? lol
when did all the activists take over. Pong?
Colecovision?

There are plenty of record breaking games that have released while the industry has been “filled with activists.” Many of them are even about politics, like Helldivers 2.
Whateley@lemm.ee 3 months ago
Yeah, having a poc or queer character in your shitty video games is the biggest example activism since the Civil Rights Movement.

gross

I’m surprised that people feel safe to discuss those things in a Slack of a company that creates American Imperialistic propaganda. It’s a certainty that crypto-fascists are among them, no matter how progressive the companies policies are. The stuff they make attracts right wingers.

Hope they catch them and I hope those individuals lose their jobs.

ITT we can see hardcore gamurs that eat the shit from gamergate and gamergate 2: sweetbaby boogaloo without putting 2 and 2 together
HawlSera@lemm.ee 3 months ago
To be fair, Sweet Baby Inc. censoring shit is a real problem
ICastFist@programming.dev 3 months ago
I thought the first gamergate was about
gatekeeping women away from gamesgames journalism. Imagine getting mad at trans people existing in a game where shapeshifting monsters and magic exist.MrGaiety@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Source for SBI censoring games?

So customers are now informed? And this is a bad thing?

“This employee took screenshots of ABK wide discussions about the safety of our protected information (like name changes and visa statuses) and sent them to an an extremely racist, sexist, and transphobic individual on Twitter who has over a 100 thousand followers,” they added.

Fuck off; this is doxxing and mass harassment. If you want social change go ahead but do it peacefully.
BehindetheClouds@reddthat.com 3 months ago
^ This right here, what happened to their rallying call “Go Woke, Go Broke” ? I guess it’s not working, so they’re going to harass people instead.
No one will stop them from not buying something. But forcing people out of jobs via threats is another level of fucked up.
DreamlandLividity@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Seems to me like names were censored in the released screenshots. Were there uncensored screenshots that I missed/were deleted?
RageAgainstTheRich@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Informed of what? The next target of right wing shitheads on youtube and twitter? Use your brain.

That it’s a lefty company with a lefty culture?

Come on, she’s too Republican to ever admit she’s wrong. Just down here, block and move on since she just craves attention that Daddy never have her.
Jaderick@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Give us your name and address so we can be informed. That’s not a bad thing.

Katana314@lemmy.world 3 months ago
As depressing as it is to ask, I feel I should kick off the brainstorm: Given that this personal information has been doxxed, is there anything that individuals could do to help the affected developers in any way?

Send them a check? Money always helps.

I’m honestly surprised that Slack doesn’t have some kind of steganographic watermarking so that leaked screenshots can be traced back to the original user, given how many big companies use it for all their internal comms.
LiveLM@lemmy.zip 3 months ago
These companies can barely the basics work on their apps, let alone all of this
icecreamtaco@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Even so, they’re going find this guy fast. Just have to cross reference all this participants of the leaked meetings
surewhynotlem@lemmy.world 3 months ago
I see you don’t use slack at work. Everyone is in every channel all the time for no reason. It’s madness.
KingThrillgore@lemmy.ml 3 months ago
If this person is like every other online chud they’ll find him before they finish cross referencing chat attendees.
Squizzy@lemmy.world 3 months ago
Christ I got added to this for college, such a mess of an app. Really difficult to follow what is what on it.
Evotech@lemmy.world 3 months ago
It’s really not. Depends on how your structure it I suppose

The techniques you’re thinking of are for documents sent by email or some such. You add innocuous whitespace or typos that are unique to each one, and send them individually. If one leaks, you can match it to the employee who received it. That doesn’t work for screenshots of Slack.
ChairmanMeow@programming.dev 3 months ago
Well you could make it work, for example some random pattern in chat backgrounds that trace back to whoever is the user. That would still show up in a screenshot.
