I think this is the wrong tact. “Grift” implies that money is the primary driver for these people and their behaviors. These are ideologically possessed activists who are leveraging threats of financial and social ruin against creators in order to secure fealty to the leftist cause. The zealots need money to continue their operations, but the real racket is in enforcing ideological obedience across the industry.
Yeah, that's what I said. If they don't get what they want, being able to tell you what to do with your own creation, in this case a game, they'll attempt to financially ruin you, and get a mob on social media to hate train everything you do until you let up.
So it makes sense to give them what they want, right? That's what the devs have done. Then more of the 'we think the same way' people get in, and it becomes difficult to rout them out of there. Rather than fight, they've given up. Now the floodgates are opened, and gaming is getting destroyed.
You know they don't care about what they destroy, so long as it's what they want it to be when they're done with it. And if they don't care, don't give the time of day. People are tired of this stuff.
Easier said than done, sure. But it's coming around slowly.
Just about every American Marxist end up being the most materialistic, envious kind of person, so I wouldn't write off the money aspect too much. For instance, I bet all these people involved have the latest iPhone and spend a lot on clothes.
