That's not the right question.
Cancel culture has been responsible for hundreds of people being fired from their jobs in the videogame industry. At that point, and because ESG scores looks at DEI parameters to determine whether or not studios/publishers get investment, they have all the power in gaming.


The right question is "do developers need bend the knee to cancel culture and the DEI inquisition if they want to avoid getting fired?" and the answer yes.
ESG?

It’s normal stuff:

ESG stands for Environmental, Social and Governance. This is often called sustainability. In a business context, sustainability is about the company's business model, i.e. how its products and services contribute to sustainable development.

Above guy is lol

The Co-Founder of Sweet Baby: terrify them with the possibility of what will happen if they don't give you what you want

Sweet Baby Inc detected now with over 205k followers. It's now #8 in the list of most followed curators on Steam.
As it gains traction, this looks like it could become top 3.



How many receipts do you need? Is 5 enough?

Video game firm fires woman after trans activist publicly branded her a 'transphobe' for following conservative accounts and 'voicing excitement over Harry Potter game'


Subnautica developer fired over "many hateful statements"


CEO of video game company steps down after tweet supporting Texas abortion law


Leftist Mob Cancels ‘Five Nights at Freddy’s’ Game Developer


Riot Games fire at least one employee after diversity panel backlash






ESG score is the financial incentive for executives and managers of videogame devs / publishers (or any other industry, really) to bend the knee for cancel culture.


If there are "news" about how your offices have people who donated to the wrong campaign or showed the wrong opinion about gender ideology / abortion / immigration / etc., you'll get a lower ESG score, namely the "Social" component of "Environmental, Social and Governance".
The ESG score is (or was?) an integral part of how your company is evaluated to get access to credit and investment by the larger investment funds (Blackrock, Vanguard, etc.).

It goes like this:

1 - Hate groups like the Resetera mob find out someone who tweeted something they deem "transphobic" or they put a like on one of JK Rowlings' posts.

2 - The same mob doxxes that person, share their picture workplace online, start sending e-mails to their employer. And then guys who work at Kotaku, Polygon & friends (who are part of the mob) start approaching the managers' offices and marketing teams for "interviews about transphobia in their workplace".

3 - When faced with a possible consequence of investors pulling out or credit scores going down the drain (with loans for short-term payments like salaries getting more expensive), the managers see no other choice but to fire the person.


And if you think this is unbelievable, consider the fact that this is exactly what happened to Kara Lynne from the first link I posted. These hategroups on Resetera can go as far as starting to send threats to the homes of their targets' families. They're relentless.

You said "hundreds", these barely make 5.
You're too invested in this culture wars trash, I suggest you step out a little and touch some grass.
Thanks for playing.

lmao bro before I even read his post I knew what he was going to say. You literally needed to provide hundreds of specific instances, because you said hundreds initially. Literally nothing to see here I guess lmao
When you can't provide the source to back your points, you proceed to dismiss the person disagreeing with you.
Typical.
Still no receipts.
You both need to touch grass and grow up.
You're not different from Era folks.
They cry about sexualized women and white washing, you cry about purple haired characters and average looking women in gaming.
Y'all like to feel outraged and discuss useless stuff.
Two sides of the same coin.
SJWs and anti-SJWs are both cancer.
Both trash.
Both sour and take the joy out of cancer.
I hate both.

He provided sources to discuss the issue and rather than discuss that you pivot to the fact he didn't provide literal hundreds of sources, pathetic
He provided 5 instances which is not even 1% of hundreds, proving himself wrong.
Y'all can stay wasting time on this culture wars BS like era is doing, I'm outta here.
Silencing you, can't have this shit sucking the fun out of gaming anymore.
Enough is enough from both sides.
I hope both sides implode.

There are plenty of testimonies from game developers saying that everyone who didn't comply with the woke stuff would be cancelled, either fired or pushed into irrelevant positions. The last time I saw one of those statements was actually this week, in an interview with a Saints Row developer.
I know I said hundreds but considering the whole industry it might be an order of magnitude above.


Obviously, I only shared some of the higher profile cases that were caught by the community, which is why I asked him how many receipts he'd need.
Yes, he's not arguing in good faith which is why he now says he was expecting a hundred links (probably two hundred since I used plural, lol) to news stories of people being fired through cancel culture pressure, which is ridiculous.


I have a slight guess that he himself might be a part of these resetera cancel mobs and thinking to himself how few people get affected is how he copes with the guilt of screwing the lives of innocent people.
All the hate he consistently shows in his posts seem to point in that direction.

Technically 5 instances is 1% of 500 so...

This shit has taken over pop culture, it sucks hard.
Being triggered by jiggling boobs, sexy women, white men, lack of diversity is cast is as stupid as crying over black people, lgbt flags, characters, normal looking people, you know, people that EXIST?
"ohhhhh male gaze"
"ohhhhh pandering"
Fuck off these people.
I hate all of them.
Culture wars is cancer.
So are Resetera and Neogaf.

One group make good games, the other make insufferable, political NPC simulators.

Jessica Negri, yes. Screeching, degenerate soy games, no.

Imagine thinking you can chuck your weight around at an attempt to silence opinion. Peak SJW.

Cope more.

I'm silencing anyone who is bringing culture wars points to the forum.
So, yeah, you're silenced.

Listen, we can all have our differing opinions on politics, the line is crossed when you try to bully and silence people and hold their livelihoods over their heads if they don't do as you say. I don't agree with blackmail, and these devs aren't putting mein kampf in their games. And it's clear that this Sweet Baby Inc company has crossed that line.
