Since all the major gaming companies paid lip service to the black lives matter movement, guess a lot of the 'get woke, go broke' crowd won't be playing any new console videogames anymore!

I don't really care, but it would be amusing if anyone actually believed these companies actually gave a single, solitary shit about black people. These White Text on Black Background platitudes are an obvious, cynical ploy.

Part of the reason it is so funny when people like that OneAngryGamer get so pissy over it.

Memba went Nintendo went broke for daring to make the main character in Metroid a girl at the end just to appease SJW's.

I know.

Its dumb and cringey as fuck. It was even funnier when he posted some video of himself furiously denouncing those companies.

It's almost as dumb as that porn thot putting together a list of other porn stars who are apparently racist for not speaking up yet. Didn't even criticize the protests or riots, they just haven't expressed support and adulation yet.

The new videogame crash is upon us. All because of going woke.

We're about to see an economic collapse that COVID-19 only hinted at. Entire industries will be dying off shortly all because they wanted to get woke.

It was fine when they were using cheap overseas slave labor, treating their employees like shit, and polluting, but now companies want to say they support police brutality protests? The common man can only take so much abhorrent behavior before he revolts.

No industry will die because it "went woke. " People will just claim that was the reason without looking for the real causes. Chances are their financial struggles have been ongoing for years.

Get woke to broke is an excuse nothing more.

Yeah I realize that's what you are saying.

I'm not really considering this get woke, go broke. More like they feel the need to pander or else they will be slammed. Look at Nintendo. A company which, under Reggie, consistently decided not to wade into political or social waters, felt pressed to issue some statement. Even as their own Nintendo store was looted.

They are all the same format. Black screen, white text. They just needed to push something out there to satiate the cancel crowd.

Yeah global corporations sure are at risk of the wrath of the cancel crowd if they say nothing. They might make 10 less dollars this week.

All the cancel crowd does is tell people not to watch or buy stuff. They have no power. What has a celebrity telling calling for cancellation of a person or company actually lead to that cancelation? Never.

I mean liberals have been "canceling" Chick Fil A for years and it's one of the most popular racist food places. Cancel culture is futile it no more hurts a company then going woke does.

Yall act like this cynicism is somehow worthy of mention, as if it isn't as obvious as the sky being blue on a clear day.

This is still a good side effect, however. It's not that industry cares about people, but it cares about perception, and now the popular go-to perception is to hate on racists.

That means the message is working, overall.

If you're white and use the term woke, that's cultural appropriation. Which isn't very woke

What? I'm saying either way you are faced with stupid people.

If you want to promote something virtuous, the right "boycotts" for a week and promotes get woke go broke.

If you don't promote something virtuous, the left will go out of it's way to shout you down until you can only hear their voice about why you're wrong. Cancel you.

These companies are in a bind. A lot of them will just go with it because they know the right will forget about why they're boycotting and resume buying their products.
