Like I said yesterday in a topic on CE:

But to expand on it, this is the culmination of things I've been warning about for around twenty years now. At one point, you'd use this kind of reaction to fringe activities. However, as radicals realized that this could be effectively employed as a tactic against the mainstream as well, it's increasingly been used in ways that had once been unthinkable. And it's emblematic of a larger trend against the very tenets of democracy where rather than try to convince people of their arguments, the far-left is focused on not letting a discussion take place at all. And this isn't some special, one-off case. For years now, this has become the norm, with social media being used to direct people to attack donors, among other things. Bear in mind that these behaviors are the same thing we criticize when we see them happen in other nations.

What we're looking at is the death of democracy which, on the far-left, is being greeted with thunderous applause.

I don't even see why a discussion NEEDS to take place. The fact is that FNAF has been an influential piece of modern gaming and has tons of fans. If it got found out tomorrow that Rockstar was using the funds from GTA to fund drug cartels so they could live life like Montoya that would be freaking horrible; but it doesn't change that the games have been an influential piece of gaming history and, going forwards, any game would be a shell of its former self at best barring some extreme luck. You can like a piece of work without approving of what the author says/does otherwise. A loss like this, regardless of the reason, diminishes games as a whole.
