Are video game devs inherently dirty commies, or did blackrock make them that way?

Your "source" can be true while also still being wrong on the claim that it was fake.

OK, so it was true but my source(me) was correct.

So calling it "Fake" was wrong. You (you) were wrong that it was fake.

The original source of that image wasn't gamespot.. it was leaked by a Streamer.. you have multiple streamers and news outlets leaking an identical document that says it applies to streamers and news outlets.

Wanna tell me about Jew golems next?

[Magick]

Kek, I love this Rusty RPG.

What about the one where he shells out the argument to ChatGPT, persuasion?

[Irenaeus]

Wanna tell me about Jew golems next?

I wanna talk about ******, commie devs being fired. Hopefully also that Blackrock/Vanguard/State Street are blowing up in a financial scandal with everyone who works there arrested.

We already had a thread for fired game devs of which 80% of it was me posting.

[Irenaeus]

On the topic of the thread, I think a lot of not-recent video game devs were not dirty commies but there certainly have been many of them. Blackrock etc. getting involved has only worsened the ratio.

weird how there's only two people on the forum that repeatedly accuse me of this, I wonder if there's some link between it

Tbh it doesn't need to be "accused" lol. You're quite open about using it, at least. (Unlike some.)

The only time I've used it is when I posted screenshots of it.
I get the feeling someone was very butthurt that I was more knowledgeable than them on subjects.

You're probably right only slightly more, when you do use it.

It was reported that some content creators had received a document from Hero Games, a marketing partner and investor in Game Science based in Beijing. The document contained a Steam activation code for the game and guidelines to not discuss specific topics such as politics, feminism, and COVID-19 in their coverage of the game at launch, though no non-disclosure agreement was required.

The truthiness depends on your POV.

[J1M]

Citing a game journalist as your source of truth is pretty shaky ground on which to build a castle.

[Bertram_Tung]

This lends credence to Rusty's assertion that it's not (just) Blackrock etc. forcing this ****, it's (also) the ******* devs who are desperate to include it.

I was nodding my head until this last part.

Rusty says it's not Blackrock AT ALL, not that it's "not (just) Blackrock". Don't give him the benefit of making his position sound more reasonable.

He's obviously wrong since we all know ESG funds and other corporate & NGO incentives were used to help push this stuff for years.

That's not to say that a majority of devs today are not woke *******. Of course they are. One of the reasons they make up such a large majority now is that they were allowed to survive the free market's wrath much longer than they should have been due to said artificial incentives.

[rusty_shackleford]

because it's not blackrock, you just don't believe in a single thing to the same degree libtards believe in cutting off kid's dicks therefore you don't understand their religious fervor

[rusty_shackleford]

I'd go so far as to say people who think you can always just try to trace the money are telling on themselves and have no real belief systems or values of their own beyond mammon

Yup, that was my point, the bits in brackets were MY additions.
It's not just the likes of Blackrock, or only the devs, it's BOTH.
Clearly Blackrock etc. didn't have a mega-push with Transistor, else it would have a LOT more instances of woke in it. This was an example of it being purely (and secretly) inserted by the devs, and likely just one individual..

That's not the case for everything else though. The silly ****** above is wrong. Rusty I've personally sat in the corporate meetings and experienced with my own **** eyes and ears the heads-of declaring that we HAVE to implement (specifically) "ESG" policies in everything blabla, AND force client companies (that mine invests in, being a middle-man money-funneler) to comply with such standards and prove they do so, else they don't get the investment. They also displayed how that same funding originally flows in from the likes of Blackrock etc., and has those conditions attached.
This DOES happen. If it wouldn't full-on dox me I'd post the **** pie charts and slides showing exactly that, with the literal "ESG" wording and the bullet points of the standards the investee companies must meet.

Regardless, ****** devs aren't going to all decide to call something "ESG" one day and implement specific, organised principles, they'd just randomly sprinkle bits of their favourite degeneracies in (as per Transistor). In contrast, when it's specifically institutionalised, you can tell (and it's much worse), it's structured, and they're quite open about it:


As a good chunk of devs are also woke *******, they of course welcome it with open arms.
Regardless, it's BOTH, and we have examples of that.

The core issue is that, when it's both, it's not really BECAUSE of the top-down impulse in the sense of any of the standard philosophical forms of causation.
If you demand that I do what I wanted to do anyway in exchange for money, I'm not doing it for you, I'm just getting free money.

How much would I have to pay you to make a game about ********?

[Bertram_Tung]

because it's not blackrock

See? He is is still pushing this nonsense. Same exact thing lefties say. "Heh nice conspiracy theory, chud".

One huge reason the religiously woke dominate the industry is because there were financial incentives to hire them. To deny this is to deny that DEI policies existed. While leftards have evolved their argument from "That's not happening" to "It actually is happening but here's why it's a good thing", rusty is still pushing the "that's not happening" lie.

Blackrock and the rest of the banking industry made ESG a requirement of getting a loan. You needed to follow DEI guidelines, and have 50%+ of all actors, writers, vendors, and anyone else association with the project come from "marginalized groups". BlackRock has pumped trillions of U.S. dollars into the various entertainment markets and lost a lot of it in the process. Over a period of two years, they lost 5 trillion due to various ESG projects failing.

Rusty takes the lefty position and claims it was all 100% organic. It's insane that anyone has to explain why this is full of **** in 2026 on a site like this.

[rusty_shackleford]

According to your theory, woke is dead now because blackrock is no longer sponsoring it
https://www.esgdive.com/news/blackrock- ... on/759918/

BlackRock’s support for environmental, social proposals dips to less than 2% in 2025

How's that going?

Some clearly don't want to, but do it as they must as otherwise the company and project would not be able to continue. Sunk-cost fallacy, plus they're beholden to their own board and shareholders.
Others are indeed quite happy to. You can tell by the game and how full of it this is.

Wasn't CD Projekt Red based in the past? Yet look at the about-turn above. Sure (like Larian) a studio can become fully woke just due to hires, but in other cases it's an obvious, institutionalised push from above, along with the humiliation rituals as per the vid above. That wasn't put out AND titled that way to show off they "love ESG", that was done to send a message.

There will be tonnes of devs out there who aren't into this **** but forced to comply or change profession. Unfortunately nowadays there are also tonnes who are happy to.

The thing is, I think even in the cases where maybe the original execs wouldn't have been thrilled about what we're specifically seeing now, they were still libtards who blithely chose woke successors and employed woke devs and let their studios be taken over because they didn't think it mattered at the time.
