  So for the trans stuff there’s a decent summary and opinion here: resetera.com/…/cdpr-is-a-transphobic-company-its-…

  I personally (I know I’m the one who started this chain) didn’t have too much of an opinion on the trans stuff as I’m not in that space at all, so kind of defaulted to that community’s opinion. Not great, company had room to improve.

  They’re kind of full of the corporate non-apologies and didn’t handle it the greatest. Everything after was them trying to save face I think. To their credit they did ultimately fire the responsible party. And if it was just that I might have left it thinking they screwed up, hopefully they learn.

  But then GoG did their Nazi thing and I’m thinking if I keep smelling smoke there’s a fire ya know?

  As @mushroommunk@lemmy.today details the trans story, here’s the Nazi story.

    “I also recognize that placing two such runes next to each other could create an unfortunate association with symbols used by the Nazi regime. This was noticed before distribution, and out of respect for local sensitivities, the material was not sent to the German community.”

    This is the bit that kills me, I could buy “Our internet didn’t realize how badly those rendered on certain mail clients.”

    But the fact that they noticed and sent it is insane.

      Kinda wish I didnt just re-buy FO3 and NV a bit ago.

      Don’t feel too guilty, you’re already better off than most for caring about it.

      It’s just a shame how prevalent that kind of behaviour is. It’s to the point where you pretty much have to scour the backgrounds of all the businesses you buy from to see if they’re hateful/extremist. Like they always have something to hide.
