They know that people not caring or being aware of them isn't going to cut it, people who are aware of it and its impacts don't want it. And since it is publicly disclosed that it's there in the game, and there are lists and curators to make that more apparent, not knowing isn't likely to be something to last for long.

So it's only natural they'd want to try and improve their image, though this little stunt definitely did not help them.

Yeah there needs to be an effort to look for the problems, unfortunately the guy making fun of games because they suck and calling people "LGTVs" and making fun of queer people for "being woke" isn't a prime example of that, it's a prime example of someone pointing out that games are bad and sneaking in his hate of LGBTQ people into the videos.

We need to have an effort to critique and point out the real problems in why games are bad and AAA companies are making bad games, while also pointing out bad, biased, and hateful criticism that pushes a bigoted agenda.

I doubt they'll ever admit it, or even look into it.

Many triple-a games are going to shit, they're made with the goal of maximizing profits, they aren't a labor of love and creativity in the way that indie games made by a small team or even a single person are. Of course the people spouting "get woke go broke" either don't understand this or they don't care because they have an agenda. So they push the idea that "wokeness" the idea of portraying LGBTQ people in a positive light, or even recognizing them at all, is what is ruining games, and not corporate greed and cutting of corners that AAA companies often do because they think it'll maximize profits.

This is the case, the problem isn't that there is racial diversity or LGBTQ people, it's that a lot of AAA games are just horribly made at this point. Unfortunately I've seen quite a lot of people who miss that point and just use this as an opportunity to drop bigoted dogwhistles, and talk badly about how "LGBTQ are ruining games", both being assholes and completely missing the point.

Basically except they don't use anonymous accounts like 4chan does, I imagine it would be even worse if they did.

Immature losers can be any age, it's usually more pathetic when they are full grown adults.

~~If the instance updated how come it still says 0.19.3 in the web client?~~

Cleared cookies and it's now showing the updated version number and version features.

It's also generally legal if you own the games on the console or physically and can dump them yourself (with the MIG dumper hardware). Of course though you don't actually have to do that, you can but you don't have to.

Their developer, Redline has a known history of mental illness, and he banned many people for having competing games in their library, leaving bad reviews, criticism, or just challenging him or calling out wrong or shady practices.
