Wtf does that mean

I sorta asked what he meant and he looked at me like I was dumb and said "you know, the Ls, the Ds, the Gs". I'm guessing he meant LGBTQ people, but idfk. The guy gives me bad reactionary vibes, so it wouldn't surprise me.

I look it up afterwards and most places talking about it online are accurately pointing out the company just sucks and management is awful, but I feel like that's been common knowledge for like a decade at this point.

Is this some right wing gamer bug of the month or something? Cause I'm way outta the loop

yes

Is this some right wing gamer bug of the month or something? Cause I'm way outta the loop

yes, but not "of the month", basically everything that fails in gaming fails because it was queer people's fault, but when something succeeds it must be because it was a based titty game or w/e

Yeah "gamers" as in people who play videogames hasn't existed as a demographic for half a decade at least. The "gamer" demo is just Fascists who have totally absorbed all critique of videogames into their psychosexual conspiracy ideology, because to actually agitiate for better videogames (stable working conditions, longer dev cycles, banning gambling mechanics) actually erodes the industry's role as a lynchpin of capitalist hyperconsumption
