I'm chilling today on RD2 online and got kicked at 2est. Looked it up and saw this:



Do they really think the type of players who play their games give a crap about this dumb shite?

I literally JUST said to myself ‘I’m gonna go to the gaming board to get away from all this shite’


And this is the first thread on the board

Well, I expect nothing less from a company that makes RDR2.

Nothing like paying for something and then it being taken away without an option.

This moment brought to you from the company that has dropped the most n-bombs ever in games.

Haha, sorry!!!

Just was confused with this. Drinking a few beers and playing a game I bought. Don't think this is necessary for them to pretend like they care.

His lengthy criminal history?

Just because the man was murdered by police doesn't make him a saint.

For some odd reason some people think of Rockstar as this politically incorrect edgy company because of games they made 20 years ago. Rockstar has pretty much gone full blown SJW big time the past decade, as has most of the large gaming corporations.

You hire enough blue haired gender fluid freaks in your ranks eventually it rots out a company from the inside.

Rockstar should be apologizing for getting kids hooked on violence!!

Let’s cancel culture them y’all. Rockstar GTA games show black people in a negative way.

That's a real head-scratcher coming from a company that makes violent video games.

Right? I love the game, but the SJW undertones aren't very subtle.

Aren't black people called "darkies" in the game?

Really? I’m pretty anti SJW myself and I didn’t really notice any SJW undertones in RDR 2 except for maybe the wapiti segment.

looks like the thing when you start one of their games and they have you adjust the brightness until you barely see the logo.

It’s insane I hope they enjoy the backlash.

It's not really SJW-ish to portray history as it happened. The Army was roughing up Native Americans. The suffragettes in Rhodes and Saint Denis are annoying, but that actually happened.

There are some things I didn't like, but RDR2 is a fantastic game.

Portraying basically every southerner from that time as a sexist and a racist is about as historically inaccurate as you can get.

I'll be the first to roll my eyes at any wokeness I come across in video games, movies, etc... and I didn't get that impression at all from RDR2.
