Cyberpunk barely makes a dent relative to what Rowling has done and how she abuses the reputation, adoration and devoted audience the Harry Potter franchise affords her. She has impacted legislation, safety nets, brought trans children to self harm and suicide, poisoned discourse on bathroom access, equated transition to gay conversion therapy and not only helped block access to healthcare for trans youth, but also worked to deny all trans & NB people in the UK easier access to live as themselves. She's directly helped to bring an entire country's reputation of trans safety and acceptance down several notches over the past year.
That was 20 pages ago, which is commendable for the fair chance you're reading the thread. But that was hardly a conversation point in this thread. With all the important discussion going on in the thread, I can't see why one would latch onto that post in particular. I'm not even sure they were serious to begin with.
Quietly liking some books on your shelf (or even this game) and obnoxiously Stanning for this game are two very different things.
So what you're effectively saying is that you don't think the game will be good but, on the off chance that it is, you might consider purchasing and supporting it anyway?
Nicely put. Personally I'm handling this the same way I handled Cyberpunk, since both games were among my most anticipated titles of probably all time but I ultimately decided to never play either one after finding out what they represented. The question of whether or not I want to play them isn't even relevant anymore. All that matters is that neither my money nor my (positive) attention go towards bigots if I can help it.
Wow that quote is pretty awesome.
Won't lie about half way through I lost a good amount of the excitement I had going in with how they spent as long if not longer trying to explain how's and why's of Cancel culture when this isn't about that and never was.
This is great! Coming together and rejecting these toxic ideas by banning the discourse might not make a splash, but the gesture is strong enough to spark discourse. What started as a simple thread on a forum is now a public denounciation amplified by the mainstream gaming media. Well done Resetters ❤️
No.
The retailers definitely do not take on the entirety of risk of unsold copies. The dealings are not as simple as WB gets all of the revenue of whatever they manage to sell to retailers. And anyway, if you buy a copy of HP off the store shelf, and that store shelf is empty, the store is going to order more from WB or whatever distributor in-between. So your indirect support is there, however much of that you can tolerate.
It would be pie in the sky dreaming to think Era has that much impact on one of the bigger IPs in the world. It is disappointing yes, because it means Warner Bros. is complicit in the encouragement of platforming these bigots, but don't try to campaign in the hopes Era's reach will push through. We have barely any reach when it comes to actual impact, as we are just like any enthusiast forum a niche market. Doesn't mean we should stop educating and discussing topics like this, because one extra person learning is better then none.

When their post started withIs it just me or does it feel like seeing people bringing up witch hunts is a shot at this topic?
PlayStation - " The PS5 version of Oddworld: Soulstorm is one of your PlayStation Plus games for April!"
I remember reading about the games back in the 90's, these games are actually really grim. If you sit down and read what he was talking about and what the game was about it really did open the eyes a bit. Oddworld closed their doors because they got fucked by Microsoft. Literally the company...
Apparently now just simply asking if the person in charge of a small game has toxic views is a witch hunt and people would be worried about Era as a government.
