They're "stupid, goofy barbarians". Make of that what you will.Are the 'orks' in it 'black coded'
Gamers declare war against Sweet Baby Inc, and Elon Musk & Gabe Newell seem to be on board. Stop watering games down with hidden political agendas.

Do you have any sources for your claims?
@michsuzu is the account who posted the question and has been described for years as a japanese journalist who posts questions from shareholder meetings.
For this last Square Enix shareholder meeting, he was quoted by PCGamer on a question+answer he shared about generative AI, and then again by Gamesradar on another question+answer about Indie games. On both instances he's quoted as a journalist.
You talk of this person as if he's just a twitter user who posted a loaded question himself that happened to get an answer from Square Enix president Takashi Kiryu outside the shareholder meeting.
Which doesn't even make sense... why would the president of a corporation start answering random questions from non-shareholders on a social platform.. during the hours of the shareholder meeting?
I did.
The journalist started the day sharing a post with a photo hotel entrance where Square Enix hosted their annual shareholder meeting (same hotel they did last year BTW). After that, he posted general info about the meeting, like popularity ratings of the company's executive team, the music they had playing in the venue, how many people were present, the time they started the meeting, etc.
Then he posted a bunch of info about the president's own presentation like performance reports and shareholder benefits.
After that he started posting questions from the shareholders present in the meeting as well as the respective answers from the president. There's nothing in Michsuzu's X thread claiming the president started answering questions from random Twitter accounts (lol?). Anyone can go to @michsuzu's X account and look at his timeline in June 21, but I count around 10 questions made in the meeting before reaching the sweet baby inc question and of course the answer provided by the president, and then I count 5 more made afterwards.
It seems obvious to me (or anyone reading the facts) that this was a question posed in-person by a shareholder in the meeting.
What I'm more curious about here is why would you post something like "this wasn't asked by a shareholder, he isn't really a journalist and the question was asked on twitter" when none of that is true? And then your post is followed by another user that takes your word for granted, meaning your lie started to spread really fast.
So I'm asking again, were you a victim of misinformation yourself by following someone who's actively trying to downplay the fact that SBI started coming up in shareholder meetings? Did you misread something? Or did you simply decide to make this up, hoping it would stick?
EDIT: All's settled so no more need for this post, kudos to @anonpuffs for doing the right thing.

You know what, you're right. I'm not sure why I was so sure of what I posted. Looking back I should have done more than a cursory look at the twitter account; I'm also unsure of why I thought the prez responded on twitter.
*e: after thinking some more I probably had multiple windows pulled up and confused the tweet with kiryu's response as being from him
No prob, accidents happen.
The good part about this is I ended up triple-checking all the stuff so I think we can be sure of the shareholder question being legitimate. Cheers.
Jesus Christ, a person actually admitting when they are wrong, there is hope for Humanity.

It's important to be right/factual, even more important than being smug on the internet as fun as that is lol
Be honest, you threatened to ban his ass!Jesus Christ, a person actually admitting when they are wrong, there is hope for Humanity.
Jokes aside, it is nice to see; the amount of conversations I have had with people who refuse to see another person's viewpoint is simply staggering.Be honest, you threatened to ban his ass!
I have had dialogue on this forum with people who point-blank refuse to concede a point, and double down on their viewpoints.
From my standpoint, I think seeing @anonpuffs do this shows character, saying that, he is still a dirty slut, and that will never change.
I get it. Pride often stands in the way of common sense. But admitting you're wrong isnt a weakness. It's a strength.Jokes aside, it is nice to see; the amount of conversations I have had with people who refuse to see another person's viewpoint is simply staggering.

I just thought of something..
Videogames have always been an escape from reality. It's the core foundation of the existence of videogames.
Why try and push real world problems into our means of escapism. That's a question I never seen answered.
If I jump into a game, I want to escape the drudges of real life panic, agendas etc.
Keep real life issues where they exist. In real life.

Because it's an easy way to recruit people for their ideology.
There are masses of young, impressionable people who don't know any better.
It's the same as universities with the Che Guevara professor types.
Young people see injustices all around the world and are told this is how you fix it.
You mistyped sleazy. It's ok though...
Kinda like those Chruch fanatics in the streets trying to convince people to convert to a religion. JUST FUCKING DONT!
Its a way of recruiting feeble minded people for your agenda in a place where this agenda shouldn't exist.
Man fuck that shit. I want my videogames clean and rinsed of corporate snowflake indoctrination, thank you!
Yeah so annoying , like when they shoved blm (a Marxist organisation) into Spider-Man
Also, it's so damn easy to convince the people who have too little that all the blame from that comes from the people who have a lot.
It's literally the oldest trick on the populism handbook and it still works like a charm.
