Do not mistake a giant faceless corporation’s product marketing decisions for anything other than the soulless money grubbing than they are.
If Blizzard actually were so politically progressive, perhaps they might not be in this situation of backlash.
- Dylan16807 7y agoThis comment sounds like you agree that they're doing fake political progressiveness for marketing purposes. So do you rescind your previous comment?
- hug 7y agoI don’t believe that they’re “doing politics”. Think of them as widget-collecting aliens who understand nothing about humans but are told that by putting a rainbow on a trinket they can collect more widgets. There is nothing political about it, it’s just a function of maximised self interest.
- Dylan16807 7y agoHuh. You have a very different definition of politics than I do. I'd even say that insincerely aligning yourself with a political group is even more of a "doing politics" move than sincerely doing so.
- throwaway2048 7y agoThat excuses utter amorality way too easily, Blizzard is run by people, not robots or aliens.
- remon 7y agoThat's...exactly his point. You just 180-ed.
