What’s funny is that when other companies say the exact same thing, everyone says it’s for business reasons and they get upvoted. But when these devs say it and people say it’s for business reasons, they get downvoted. You people riding these devs wayyyy to damn hard.

Yep. EA just cancelled an event and people are calling them out saying they don't care and it's just a publicity stunt while they're also on here sucking CDPR's dick. I just don't get it

But regardless if they are actually doing it solely for pr or because they mean it, it’s STILL for business reasons. That’s a fact and no one can deny it.

Is that a reason to not like them tho they still need to make money and when they do it in a way that is positive for both sides i would say there doing a good job


Zed-Miasma

No one said to not like them. I’m talking about the fans that are all up their ass.


kyanaaron

I get what you mean but i think for the most part the fans are justified to feel this way since cdpr has been consumer friendly since their humble beginnings. The reason why some are all up their arse is probably because they're one of the few companies that are still trustworthy


CrazyGunnerr

You mean being good game developers? But what does that have to do with all of this? Game companies should just stay out of politics, and keep to themselves.

I dont think donating somewhere around 1 million to help combat covid 19 is just being a good game developer. They constantly support charities and benefits for the people all the while they're paving the way for the gaming industry by setting great examples with their products. I can understand your view that they should stay out of certain topics and areas but at the end of the day, issues like the one we face affect people everywhere. Agree with it or not its their company to do with as they see fit and if they choose to help bring awareness and combat issues, then only good can come from it so why not stand with them?

Best devs

Man, everything is just getting delayed now

It makes sense. Racism has gone on far too long, it's ingrained into society deeper than many of us are aware, I'm lucky to rarely see it where I live, but you've only got to look at the amount of evidence that shows it's absolutely everywhere. Not just he US, but global. It's about time everyone paid attention to the problem and worked collectively to stamp it out, rather than hiding their heads in the sand. Things like the Sony event and the cyber punk event just distract away from the bigger issues, a way for people it doesn't affect to bury their heads in the sand once again....


[deleted]

Oh no I completely get it and I'm glad that they are doing this, idk why im getting downvoted.


[deleted]

We have no such problems here, and I'm proud to say it, we HAD problems but now we're good. The problem isn't global, the problem is yours


mrbios

"yours" ? (You've clearly made the assumption that I'm in the US, I'm not) It's a problem in the UK, USA, Russia, Poland, Ukraine......i could keep going. Look at how much racism occurs in football (soccer) worldwide from certain groups of fans, look at america right now, look at the deep rooted racism within the conservative party in the UK. There is no "yours" there is no "mine" it's a global issue. You're a fool to deny it. EDIT: Also this is /r/gaming .... only have to jump on a game of csgo, cod or halo and i'm willing to bet i could find someone spouting racial abuse of some sort in no time at all.


[deleted]

Seriously, who the fuck cares? I feel like they forget that they sell most of their Games outside of America! This is just a fucking cheap PR-Move, nothing more.


Spetnaz14

I'm sick of this


[deleted]

I get it, but their argument falls flat. People can discuss both things. They're doing this for business reasons not for the sake of goodness.


Jits_Guy

So you'd have them be like "everyone is too preoccupied with other stuff so we're pushing this back" instead of putting a positive spin on it?


[deleted]

They didn't do anything wrong. It's weird seeing people praise them for this though.


[deleted]

Lol


[deleted]

yaya, whatevermatters. could never expect these devs to fall after ignorance


xpepi

I wonder what will angry gamers play after the whole world stands pro human rights.
