Rules:

1: No spam or advertising. This basically means no linking to your own content on blogs, YouTube, Twitch, etc.
2: No bigotry or gatekeeping. This should be obvious, but neither of those things will be tolerated. This goes for linked content too; if the site has some heavy "anti-woke" energy, you probably shouldn't be posting it here.
3: No untagged game spoilers. If the game was recently released or not released at all yet, use the Spoiler tag (the little ⚠️ button) in the body text, and avoid typing spoilers in the title. It should also be avoided to openly talk about major story spoilers, even in old games.

A controlled anticapitalist discourse. This is no different than that Pepsi ad with the "protesters" sharing a Pepsi with the police.

Time will tell. I mean, he's not wrong. I think it's pretty clear that studios have to make profitable games at the cost of interesting games. But it's not like msft or anyone else is going to change their behavior. They have a fiduciary duty to their shareholders to profit as much as possible.
