You have to be kidding me.

Yeah, I’m not riding the anti-woke wave like a lot around here but the reaction to SB was not just fine. There was a meltdown asking for the title to be banned at the other place.

Most media was clutching their pearls at the “sexualisation”.

The black myth story seems like total bullshit to me though.

 

[Astray]

surprised to see people actually falling for what looks to be cooked up by a random blogger, but confirmation bias is a thing indeed.

The last paragraph is even more amusing. We know why some ‘journalists’ were mad at Hogwarts Legacy. It’s got nothing to do with ‘political correctedness’ in the game itself

Some people just like being grifted. The story feels like total bullshit to me.

 

[InterMusketeer]

Sounds fake and/or like Chinese propaganda.

 

[CoreyFlawless]

Man, that hogwart shit was so bad. I glad that game did well too.

 

[Stafford]

For context:





This is not something new. They've been doing this for years, similarly to what that hag Anita Sarkeesian was trying to pull off with CDPR 5 years ago, due to the supposed sexism in The Witcher series:

I can't stand folks like that.

 

[balls of snow]

Of the rage kind.

 

[Lambogenie]

Sounds fake but I can believe SBI really pestering devs and publishers. The head literally had threats in her presentation remember. She's psycho.

 

[TintoConCasera]

I can't stand folks like that.

"Folks" usually refers to people. I identify those beings as something closer to vermins.

 

[Majukun]

hogwarts was not about political correctness, just ties to the author through the licensed franchise

also seeing the subject matter, I fail to see what could be "amended" by the consultant firm anyway.

 

[rhodesianshepard]

Imagine paying 7 million to a group that will come in to make changes that ensure your game will tank. Brilliant business move.

Imagine a scenario where people actually believe consulting firms like SBI make 7mil. Obv click bait article is obvious

 

[demonstr8]

Based if true.

 

[Ozriel]

Sounds fake but I can believe SBI really pestering devs and publishers.

You mean like what the rest of the world calls ‘marketing’?

I’m skeptical of the value they provide, but there’s nothing nefarious about contacting potential customers and offering services.

Edit: just saw some of the founder’s tweets. Yeah, that’s malicious and distasteful marketing

 

[Shifty1897]

You have to have really done something to get to the point where me and Chinese state media both agree that you suck.

Bullies ruining games, should be in prison or at least charged with something, they should be ignored by everyone.
