I can’t believe that guy isn’t fired. One way to go would be to start cancelling subscription services to Microsoft since MS ultimately owns them.
The type of company that would employ someone like that doesn't want to upset the vocal lefty contingent though, cause they think they're much larger than they really are.

If they fired him, people might think they're right wing fascist Nazi Trump supporter MAGAtards. And you can't have that.

So they'll sink the company instead.

Josh Sawyer is about the only notable Obsidian dev left from the New Vegas days and he went full retard pod person years ago. The company was dead the moment Feargus forced out Chris Avellone, it's just taking them a long time to dig the grave.
Speaking of Chris, any idea what he's up to these days? Or is he laying low still after all the #metoo shit they hit him with?

If you've filtered by tag it should only show it if you do an exact title search:

i'm glad musk and others are doing this work to expose all this bullshit we've known about for years but have been powerless to do anything about (except stop buying western dev games), hopefully the collapse of sales and CEOs getting exposed to how retarded so many of their employees are will start turning things around.

the whole work from home thing really exaggerated this since these gaylords could hide away their shitty ideas in slack, with more and more companies now killing WFH i see a huge acceleration of that next year maybe getting a lot of these people unemployed and forever unemployable thanks to search results that never go away.

I wonder if they can fix any of this before it launches in...3 fucking months? I thought it was coming out in the next couple of weeks. It looks good but if they are just hiding the Woke BS, I hope this studio burns like all the others. Its the only way to be sure.

Some of that shit is hilarious.
On a more serious note someone posted this, attributed to Chris Avellone, regarding politics in games. No source/proof but interesting none the less.
===

"They may become political as societal norms change, but I believe it's possible to do apolitical games. I also don't condemn developers who want to do political games or make a statement - I think a game is served better by asking a question, provide a range of perspectives on the question, but then leaving the answer to the player. I try to frame any politics in the parameters of the world, the lore, and the franchise."

"The reason I take this approach is because I view games as entertainment. If you're purposely pushing an agenda or point of view in your game - especially a real-world one that's clearly divorced from the game world - and you're dictating that perspective as correct vs. asking a question or examining the perspective more broadly, then it's left the gaming realm, and the 'game' has become a pulpit."

It is ironic he's a white guy who hates whites and wants to hire blacks who as a statistic hate trans/gays more than whites do.
