    Late last month, one of the company’s consultants discovered a Steam group dedicated to “detecting” games that Sweet Baby Inc. has worked on. The purpose? To encourage people to avoid those games because the group had deemed SBI was pushing a “woke” agenda by working toward greater diversity, equity, and inclusion.

    I wished all these fascists would fuck off already. Or maybe get out of their basements and meet people different from them for a change. Ignorant fucks.

      You’re not fascist for not wanting to buy games from a company that is linked to nothing but underperforming garbage titles, or maybe you thought forspoken and suicide squad were good games?

      All the steam group does is take the titles Sweet Baby Inc lists on their own website, and list them in the group so people know what titles they’ve worked on. The CEO has tried her best to portray the group as a racist misogynistic cess pool, and all it did was Streisand effect the shit out of the situation and increase the group members from 4k to over 100k.

    Sweet baby inc is being cancelled because they launched a harassment campaign against a steam group and tried to get the group owner banned on steam, not because they insert wokeness in videogames. The CEO of the company has also bragged on twitter about how they do exactly what this article says they don’t.

    Also, this article is written by a bigot who says you can’t be racist against white people, and when facing backlash, she privates her account but left “you can’t be racist against white people” as profile banner.
