So, not just mafia style monopoly anymore. Now also supporting facism.

I hate this fucking timeline.

I used to be a Halo fan, Microsoft ruined it.

I used to want to travel to the US, MAGA ruined it.

I used to have ambition for the future, a bunch of crusty old fucks ruined it.

I used to enjoy life. This incessant hatred and uglyness ruined it.

Draft dodger say what?

Also, that flag would only have been valid for a week in 1889.

Probably because Trump gave them a $12 billion dollar tax break…

Edit: Billion

... Did they not realize that the UNSC is an authoritarian fascist organization, and the Spartan program was originally aimed at fighting "rebels" who wanted to have control over the planets they lived on?

Literally the MC was kidnapped and experimented on to become a killing machine for the military junta for the express purpose of murdering colonists. No pay, no benefits, no end of contract.

Bootlicking cowards.

The CEO of Microsoft is deep throating Trump regularly. The company won't do anything.

Where the Trump-as-Master Chief post is merely cringeworthy, the Homeland Security message is flat-out dangerous. Comparing immigrants in the US to a parasitic alien life form that infects and annihilates advanced societies is not deeply offensive, it's also rooted in the worst of human history: As seen in the untermenschen of the Holocaust and "cockroaches" in Rwanda, to name a couple recent examples, dehumanizing the "other" so you can more easily inflict cruelty, injustice, and horrors upon them is hardly a new technique, and the US government's messaging was not subtle.

You might think that using imagery from one of its best known videogames in a call to "destroy" immigrants would prompt Microsoft to action, or at least to express some small modicum of disapproval. For now, at least, you would be wrong: Rather like Nintendo, which eagerly picks copyright fights it knows it can win but kept its mouth tightly zipped when Homeland Security used Pokémon to promote violent immigration raids, a representative told PC Gamer that "Microsoft does not have anything to share on this matter."

Unexpectedly good political commentary from checks notes PC Gamer

Microsoft declines to comment

More like 'Microsoft approves of this imagery'

Silence is consent, be it from approval or cowardice, the outcome is the same.

The current government strategy of illegal use of copyrighted materials, often with the full understanding that the artist/IP owners will not consent to it should really have a harsher punishment to it. The DHS social media pages in particular keep using songs without artist permission because they know it will be taken down but by that point it doesn’t matter and they just steal another song. Given that the use of these songs implies tacit approval from the artist, this should absolutely count as the rights of the artists to free speech are being infringed upon.

Whenever theytry to make Pvt Bonespurs look “manly” it always looks so sad and desperate

Homelander-ass post

Spartans were originally made to fight rebels.

How many Microsoft executives are on the Epstein files?

...So you separate children from their parents at the age of six and abuse them? Yeah, that sounds pretty accurate.

They are literally trying to turn Americans into the Covenant tho. Religious warriors.

Microsoft are a bunch of pussies also release the Epstein files!

Lmao that fat fuck could not fit in that suit.

Master Queef

Microsoft is a criminal organisation that thrives on corruption (no real action being taken with respect to anti trust proceedings is still relevant today).

Crime isn't only about someone stealing your phone, extracting many billion of dollars via oligopolistic methods of limiting competition and leaving people with no other option than to use their products (irrespective of price or feature considerations) is also criminal activity.

They are not going to fight the US administratorion on this.

~~Microsoft declined to comment~~

Microsoft was completely OK with this
