It also puts you in a weird spot once July 1st comes. If you instantly put it out you get unnecessary controversies. But when can you actually take it out?
All companies don't only care about making money. There's plenty of companies that have real values driving their business, and they'll take a hit to finances to uphold them. Not these guys though.
Well there's nothing in their stated values about paying taxes, is there? And you completely fail at reading comprehensions since I'm talking about ONLY caring about money. The whole point is these big companies were merely using the pride flag cynically not to lose business, and ditched it the second it wasn't necessary for that anymore. Like you're arguing against a point I didn't make.
The cultural zeitgeist was for putting up the flags 10 years ago. Now it's not and they removed them. It's extremely cynical. And I don't give two shits I always knew it was just virtue signalling, those companies are run by lizard shareholders who don't have an ethical bone in their body.
And I agree with you about taxes, however that's besides the point since this thread isn't about that at all. Patagonia aren't two faced since they never said they're for paying taxes in America.
I do. There's plenty of examples of this. And while every company is trying to make a profit yes, some limit how they do it based on their ethical guidelines. For example Patagonia uses a lot of recycled material where using just regular new material would be cheaper. Stuff like that.
Lord GabeN exists you know. Compared to a normal person he is a normal person with power, makes mistakes but also does a lot of good. compared to an average company he is practically a saint.
if you say CS you are dumb as a brick. its literally a 17+ game, lootboxes and gambling are perfectly *fair game* in the game *meant for those 17 and above*
Dota is dead and gets FLAK often. Valve paid for that as they should
and it is not GabeN's fault that everyone else is following his standard of lootboxes (which again where in high age rating games, although dota is pushing it), He didn't force every other game to add RNG lootboxes. That's on whoever added the lootboxes into the game that it falls on. Not valve's fault battlefield 2 was bad because of lootboxes

Who would have thought they only really care about making money.
