Im the only one seeing this like something dangerous? i know it was funny, but i think we also surpassed that and we are in dangerous level,
Stupid and angry people like this one could do something really fucked up.
This bullshit makes more sense when you consider they've built their identity around being edgy and obnoxious. "Gamer culture" has been riddled with this for ages now and because it's finally getting some long overdue pushback they feel like they're being pushed out of their safe spaces.
Unfortunately I meet a lot of "gamers" in IT that act this way.You may not like it but that is what peak gaming culture looks like.
And yet he mentioned he is banned from there because they hate his free speechThe traitors list thing is straight out of 4chan. So you obviously know where he hangs out.

Unless things changed that I hadn't heard of, 4chan doesn't ban for a whole lot of things, so that's hell of a thing to bring up.And yet he mentioned he is banned from there because they hate his free speech
Just ask Boogie!Yeah this. What fucking twisted mindset must they have to think BLM means whites must die!? I guess a purely racist mindset, one where, for whatever reason, they see life on this earth as some kind of battle between us all. Fuck these absolute fucking idiots. May they live long hapless fuckless boring ass fucking lives and never harm anyone again.
Youtube is full of racists, so is twitch.
"some people want black folks dead, while black people want to be alive, so obviously half the black people should be killed, it's the perfect middle ground"
Cory Balrog just shot himself in the foot.You committed the ultimate cardinal sin, you got personal. You, as a team of professionals trying to make money, got personal. You got personal and decided to insult your playbase, calling us "ass-hats" and "freeloaders". Not a wise move.
We won't forget this. You've set a new tone for the kind of interaction we'll be having with you. It's a cold one. One where there aren't any illusions about the reality of the situation. Previous notions of "family" are dead. We are mere consumers to you, and that is obvious.
You have chosen to bring in a new era of hostility and bitterness. Well done. Great PR move.
By all accounts in that thread, this is NOT supposed to be satire.
"I've supported this cancerous, soy, passive hobby my whole fucking life!"

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Gaming culture (I'm an expert), but racism and bigotry are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in the social media where you can become successful by pandering to soyboys. If you show compassion for minorities, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.
What this means is the Gamers, after hearing about this, are not going to want to purchase GOW for either system, nor will they purchase any of Sony's games. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Cory Balrog has alienated an entire market with this move.
Cort, publicly apologize and delete all your BLM tweets or you can kiss your business goodbye.
See above. It's definitely a perfect example of Poe's Law though!There is nothing anyone can tell me that would make me believe that this person isn't some parody. Everything that has come from him has been the maximum amount of stupid in such a calculated way that I refuse to believe otherwise and I'd rather continue to be willfully ignorant that drink more.
I mean fucking list of traitors, and a video with him standing in front of game shelves and amiibo talking about how companies want him dead? Yeah, no.
I think the saying goes something like:
When You're Accustomed to Privilege, Equality Feels Like Oppression
Although this is so beyond that it's indistinguishable from satire.
