I've seen a few unconfirmed mentions that Mark Warner out in Virginia has Just a little something I saw in passing. I have neither the time nor the internet 'tism to devote to looking in to these things these days (both are taken up by other pursuits), but I feel someone may have both these things.
Took a quick peak before I start my day, but there's nothing showing on his OpenSecrets entry: https://www.opensecrets.org/members-of-congress/mark-warner/contributors?cid=N00002097&cycle=2024&recs=100&type=C
You do see a lot of the usual bad actors on his donor list: Blackrock, Goldman Sachs, Amazon, Visa, Microsoft, Boeing, Wells Fargo, Master Card, Verizon, Booz Allen, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Gruman, Cox, Alphabet/Google, Disney...
Is this the thing where ADL was sourced to talk about hate speech, with 60% of its "occurences" being fucking Pepe the Frog?
Yep, at least with Twitch you literally had their top streamer with links to management hosting with an actual terrorist and playing pro terrorist group songs.
I think the ADL tried to switch targets realising 'oh shit they're actually leftists too, we just did friendly fire' so hope attacking steam draws attention away from the smoking pile of shit that is Twitch.
Another 39.9% was stuff from Hearts of Iron and Crusader Kings.
Those donors aren't why he is going after Steam. It's his owners in AIPAC and the ADL who are demanding it. Why though? It is a complete coincidence so we may never really know.
Disney acquired a $1.5 billion equity stake in Epic Games back in Feb.
Also AIPAC.
As usual, woke left cant compete. They have to buy out or use some kinda lawfare.
Maybe it's attempted retribution for all the millions of potential revenue lost from gamers rejecting woke games this year. Those alt-right gamers need to be put in their place, so the knives are out.
ADL says jump, legislators ask how high.
I hope GabeN decides to go nuclear on these shitbird politicians with super PAC fuckery.
I wish Warner would make Steam crack down on TF2 bots and bring sprays back.
Also make Left 4 Dead 3d in VR.
