Where your favorite blogs come alive
You were in Marketing, so tell me, do you think Jensen agreed to Atomic Heart without realizing that there would be a bit of a shit storm, or do you think he and his promo team were good with the shit storm, because bottom line, it's a worldwide game and it gave him huge publicity? I mean, even the haters blaming him for the entire war really doesn't matter, as 99% of people know that is just stupid. Also, controversy about what nationality a dev is, is not going to stop gamers from buying a game. I just can't figure if Jensen stepped into this unaware, or brilliantly chose this to widen his name appeal?
I think Jensen has far better sense of bearing on media than all the people pretending to be upset off of a well known exaggerated review that intentionally warped it.
I think Jensen is fully aware that media everywhere boils down to about one of three money sources, behind just as many proxy screens. I think Jensen is aware you guys read things funded by Russia and PIF every day, or watch shows with them, or networks funded by them every day.
It's that this is all hilarious noise of people with miscellaneous agendas, and other people reacting to them inflating their importance.
Jensen is fully aware, just like every other actor in the history of ever, he's going to work down the money pipe of one of several major influencing political forces, if not multiple or all of them at the same time, and that's just how it fucking works, and this fandom really needs to wrap their head around it.
It's xenophobia, fam. Someone saw "Russian" and went digging immediately for "dirty money." And if you dig in media enough you will always find it. This is actually more "media welfare" dogwhistling, in Russian font. breaking news, game developer uses locally available funding systems to create game, more at 11.
Jensen knew that people would react to agendas and dogwhistles and that it wouldn't matter a goddamn thing or negatively impact his career, just that narcissists would waste energy yelling about it feeling like they're doing something.
Listen, I support Ukraine, but you're a fucking goof if you think this is about Ukraine. Even if you're Ukrainian, I'm sorry. Half your fucking TV still is probably Russian funded. Stop picking and choosing things to pretend to be mad about when there's a shiny actor's face attached to fight about. If you're gonna be pissed about this shit, fix it at the root, don't attack the small developers that have the sin of Existing In A Country.
I think Jensen was happy to be a shooter bicon rebelling in silent LGBTQ undertones to lead more Russians to his content, and that everyone fucked up the developer happy to do that, and made them give away all their profits.
The game dev giving all their profits to Ukraine should have ended this. You guys aren't here for truth or social justice or even Ukraine, you guys are here to argue about shit until the horse has been beaten into glue. People WANT this studio to die for NO good reason beyond the fact that some idiot convinced them it needs to, and they will not stop beating this fucking horse until they get what they convinced themselves is right.
If you are still talking about this thinking it has any meaningful bearing, I regret to inform you, you as a person are extremely succeptible to propaganda.
why are you literally a russian bot? whats with the dickriding of genocide
Ahahah woah I'm a bot??? You have no idea what you are talking about. We literally have those in Russia, they are called KremlinBots and trust me I'm nothing like those trash talking propaganda-spreading little shits.
What I do then? I'm trying to make people think critically. Especially those of you who has no idea how post ussr countries work.
I respect Ukrainians cries for help and peace and showing the world the horrors of the war, because by gods we all need it, but I will not tolerate plain misinformation and calls for violence on anyone's side. It also applies to literally anything, not only war in particular.
Let me put it simple: I'm a politically involved russian (which are rare), but I'm also a pacifist.
It translates to me having my own strong opinions on how things should be in my country and it puts me in literal life and career threatening danger if I decide to freely express those opinions.
It also translates to me opposing the war with a passion, but in general. I'm on Noones Side, I just want it to end and I don't actually care who wins.
Therefore it pains me deeply to see people blindly crying out their hate for others. Saying someone should die. Saying shit about anything and everything supposedly affiliated with their percevied enemies. But not only they spread hate and panic among others, they also share clearly hyping posts or media links or whatever. Just. So uncritically!!
I spend lots of time checking my sources and looking for trustworthy media like russian Редакция. I make an effort to stay informed and clear minded. I still can't believe how some people all over the world (Russians, Americans, Europeans - it doesn't matter) can't understand that most of their media says what their government want them to say. Like. It's not only russian media who do propaganda, you aware?
I just wish more people would think critically and not see Russia as your average Hollywood bad mafia guys.
