I think Rockstar tried such an experiment when they hired Grove Street Games to make the GTA trilogy remaster.I think there should be an experiment whereby all these people leave the major companies they are leeching off and we set up a new company where they can all work together.
Watch how they produce absolutely fuck all.
They think they’ll achieve the first thing by doing the second thing. I don’t know if it’s working, I see a ton more people irritated over LGBT people now than 30-40 years ago.Besides, what do these people actually want? Do they want society to accept the LGBT community for who they are as their equals, or should we constantly point out, in every corner of society, how they are different from the rest of us?
Maybe that is what it will take for people to realise how stupid this nonsense is."My employers made no statements about how proud I should be about my sexuality.
I should walk out of my job."
Imagine straight people doing the same just for kicks.
Keep hiring philologically unstable people just to meet quotas, it`s working out great.
I let my gold expire due to no rainbow GAF logo, that will sure show them!I've decided to walk out of GAF because it didn't change its logo to a pride one for June.
I'm not joking, I'm typing this outside on my phone.
You never experienced Jihad or The Inquisition I take it..? The woke mob is bad, but a mob and/or institution backed by a totalitarian state is still worse. I figure it was hyperbole from your partI used to think organised religion was bad......but this pride stuff is something else.
While I am a leftist and a European which apparently makes me view corporations quite... bad contrary to the average American, this is pure lunacy, people here struggle to get the bare minimum in terms of wages, work hours, and work places yet there are people that have time to whine and protest about things like that, I guess it's so damned important to brag about what we do in our bedrooms nowadays.
And, mind you, I heavily support LGBTQ when they fight against discrimination and for their rights.
Did you just compared us gays to vegans? I feel nothing!I hope this not appropriate, but why do vegans vegetarians atheists and the lgbtq+ communities feel that they have to be glorified on everything and they have to jam their ideologies down everyone’s throat.
Change logo to rainbow in an empty display of support: "No, don't do that, we see right through it"
Don't change logo to rainbow in an empty display of support: "FUCK THIS SHIT I'M FUCKING LEAVING"
Seems like an empty threat from the get-go to me.
Basis is a single message on company Slack, no attribution is made as to who posted the message or the level of support co-signed or indicated for a proposed walkout. Given the number of sites and the non-unionization of this multinational... suggesting that a "company wide" walkout was on the cards seems errr... optimistic to say the least!
Not to mention the fact that what is being proposed here is a withdrawal of labour, not over pay or working practices, but over making/not making certain political statements! Which is utterly crazy.

They wouldn’t walk out over the 2 Battlefronts loot box P2W stuff, they wouldn’t walk out over the Battlefield 2042 scam, they wouldn’t walk out over little kiddies becoming hooked on gambling due to FUT.
But they will threaten a walk out over a rainbow logo.
Shit company. Shitty nobhead staff.
I am not surprised neoGAF does not read news articles. of course as 90% of thread arguments is based on that.I don’t need a rainbow logo to show the company that they care… because I know they don’t care either way!!!
It’s just a way to sell us stuff!
Anyway happy pride month to me!!!
If we see the company rainbow-wash their logo without making any substantive statement in support of trans people being abused nationwide in the US and elsewhere, especially after stating that the company doesn't want to make any statement not supported by the diverse viewpoints of our 13,000 employees, we collectively walk out on Friday, June 3rd," the message read.
"As most of you know, when June 1 arrives, many companies lean into the Pride celebration -- oftentimes with limited effort beyond rainbow washing their social account profiles," the email said. "As we head into the month, we want to ensure our efforts to celebrate pride are meaningful."
It also contained guidance on what EA leaders, studios and franchises can do to support Pride externally.
The guidelines, seen by GamesIndustry.biz state that messages and graphics shared online "may not be political in nature," and asks for proposed copy/graphics to be submitted to EA's corporation communications team for review before they are shared.
It says EA "strongly recommends activities that go beyond verbalising support for Pride," which includes sharing in-game activities pertaining to the cause, and pointing players towards resources to learn about Pride. Employees are also encouraged to share other efforts EA has made historically to support Pride.
In an FAQ further down, the email gives EA employees and brand social channels permission to tweet and retweet social posts in support of LGBTQIA+ and trans rights, "providing it is authentic to your community and the brand."
Netflix did exactly that. They told them anyone who doesnt like Chappelle's content can quit. No one did.Call their bluff.
Easy reason.A reminder who to stand for. I'm seeing such a backlash to pride this year from gay gays. It used to be the gay pride. Not I'm proud to wear purple hair.
Oddly it's been lately.Since when are American executives starting to grow balls again? I'm beginning to like EA, help.
You’re apart of Gaf too, cunt.I am not surprised neoGAF does not read news articles.
$$$$$I don't even give a damned about the pride movement. How come it's always shoved in our faces every year?
No one gives a shit.
BIGOT!I don't even give a damned about the pride movement. How come it's always shoved in our faces every year?
No one gives a shit.
it takes one to know one.You’re apart of Gaf too, cunt.
They just need to fire all the DEI commies next.Oddly it's been lately.
For all the tech companies bending over for years, out of nowhere Google and Apple are telling coworkers to come back to the office, Musk is telling them all no remote work unless approved, Netflix telling their workers if you dont like it here with the content released quit the company. EA (Mr. Battlefield V Wokeism) going against supporting Pride. Who knew.
I got to say I am quite surprised and amazed at the same time. Not sure why but 2022 is swinging the pendulum back to normalcy. And it's like a lot of the big ones are following each other's actions cracking down on lenient policies.
Indeed.it takes one to know one.
Damned if you do. Damned if you don't.EA staff threaten walkout over lack of statements during Pride Month
Employees at Electronic Arts have threatened a walkout over the company's lack of action during Pride Month. The plan w…www.gamesindustry.biz
What say you GAF? Personally, I find it sad that we live in a world like this.
Even Umbrella would be horrified by some of the creatures modern day humans are turning themselves into.
Let them walk out.
