I don't and I'm not claiming this one gesture pushes them comfortably into fully redeemed territory, but like I said, it's a step in the right direction. It makes me doubt they're the mass of hatred and bigotry some claim they are. This doesn't erase their past mistakes and people shouldn't just forget about them, but we shouldn't use those to dismiss every attempt at being better as insincere either.
As for Cyberpunk, the only thing that had alarm bells ringing in my head so far was that one ad poster, but I'd say the artist's explanation was fair. I don't agree with everything she said, but I can see where she's coming from.
That's a fair point, but like I said, it just doesn't feel right to me to assume the worst if there's nothing to suggest it. There are unfortunately cases of LGBTQ folk being harassed in the industry and that's obviously unacceptable, but so far all we know about CDPR's workplace environment is their sadly all too common in AAA studios embracing of crunch culture. As problematic as it is, it's an economic issue rather than a social one.
Oh, I do agree. I just found it amusing this thread has posts suggesting CDPR was simultaneously trying to have their brand score points with queer folk and distancing their brand from a celebrity because they don't want to get close to anything queer.
