    people unironically calling things woke arent exactly the brightest inviduals

    rather see some more neutral reporting and investigation on what this company actually does, seems like pointless outrage right now

    In this thread:

    “How dare they ask the company what it does. The headline must be written first because it’s what I read first.”

    “If we assume the problem doesn’t exist, then why is there a solution?”

    “Artists seeking consultation sounds like censorship. Especially if they recommend it to other artists!”

    “The only reason you’d try to avoid offending people is so you can have sex at them.”

    Yeah can’t imagine why these companies have people check their work now.

    I spoke with several employees of Sweet Baby Inc. to learn what the company actually does and how the misunderstanding of its role in the industry highlights a far broader problem.

    You don’t know what Sweet Baby Inc. does, but you assume the people complaining about SBI must be incorrect? Do journalists in any other sector of the market fall all over themselves rushing to defend companies like they do in game development?

    They literally threaten and extort companies into paying them. That’s just from their own employees tweets.

    I’m honestly surprised that the government hasn’t noticed their extortion racket.

    It doesn’t matter. These angry idiots have a narrative, and no amount of polite talking is going to convince them they were assholes.

    its a good scam create problem that you are the solution to and you never have to face the consequences of what you do because you never make your own games you always work on other peoples games as consulted so that it can never be traced back to you unless you make it public and publish it on your own sweet baby site as promotion to do it again.
