When localizing games for an international audience, developers must exercise sensitivityto histories of racial tension that may not exist in games’original countries.

Fuuuuck. Offfff.

I don't feel that bad for them. More and more states have been pushing for free tuition, and that enables these cunts to spread their poison rent free. Fuck that.

College debt is a fucked up system never mind the indoctrination, but so is the idea of free college / universities not having teeth in their students' actual job market success.

I think it's great that universities do not have an influence on employability. It eliminates the need to spend a lot of time not making money and disarms the education debt industry and nullifies the ideological centers. Most jobs aren't that complex that they can't just train new people into them. To quote Fulton Sheen: university should be an intellectual privilege, not a job requirement.

[... ]game publishers are responsible for making sure their story does not offend their audience or step on the toes of countries’ social progress.

I forgot that foreign games were responsible for social progress.

Also, maybe the company didn't make it a foreign lib audience? Libs can say "UHM, it's not that my fetish piece about this one-legged Cherokee transautist lesbokin is bad, it's NOT FOR YOU", but they feel entitled to everything.
