    ITT we can see hardcore gamurs that eat the shit from gamergate and gamergate 2: sweetbaby boogaloo without putting 2 and 2 together

      To be fair, Sweet Baby Inc. censoring shit is a real problem, whereas the “first gamergate” was mad about Baldur’s Gate having transpeople in it when according to the “real gamers”

      The game takes place in the Middle Ages and they didn’t have transpeople back then!

      Problem

      1. Transpeople have existed since pre-history

      2. Baldur’s Gate does not take place in the middle ages, but rather during modern day in an alternate dimension in a thriving multiverse

      3. If transpeole existing is against the original vision of the game, then explain to me why the Girdle of Masculinity/Femininity and Edwin/Edwina exist. Or did you never actually play Baldur’s Gate and just wanted to be part of an outrage machine?

        I thought the first gamergate was about gatekeeping women away from games games journalism. Imagine getting mad at trans people existing in a game where shapeshifting monsters and magic exist.

    Gee these men-children are going to be awfully sad when there’s no one left to make their games for them anymore and they have nothing left to do but face the shitty reality they’ve created.

    As depressing as it is to ask, I feel I should kick off the brainstorm: Given that this personal information has been doxxed, is there anything that individuals could do to help the affected developers in any way?

    I’m honestly surprised that Slack doesn’t have some kind of steganographic watermarking so that leaked screenshots can be traced back to the original user, given how many big companies use it for all their internal comms.

      The techniques you’re thinking of are for documents sent by email or some such. You add innocuous whitespace or typos that are unique to each one, and send them individually. If one leaks, you can match it to the employee who received it. That doesn’t work for screenshots of Slack.

      These companies can barely make the basics work on their apps, let alone all of this

      Even so, they’re going find this person fast. ABK staff just has to cross reference all the participants of leaked meetings

      Christ I got added to this for college, such a mess of an app. Really difficult to follow what is what on it.

          Ok well Im not an idiot, I have plenty of comms apps and that one died really quickly presumably because everyone’s experience was as boring and disjointed as mine

    I’m surprised that people feel safe to discuss those things in a Slack of a company that creates American Imperialistic propaganda. It’s a certainty that crypto-fascists are among them, no matter how progressive the companies policies are. The stuff they make attracts right wingers.
