Do you think it's wrong to use your company's success to push a political agenda.

Sigh... I LOVE The Long Dark. Which is why I've decided to drop my investigation on the subject. I WAS going to write an article and video about it. As I explore the space, I am getting 100s of reports of general distain from because you are using your studios reach to take a political stance.

Even if some of us agree, shoving it into a game studio’s brand is toxic business. You dove headfirst into a culture war with zero upside, and now talented developers are paying for it with their jobs.

Go woke go broke and you just proved the phrase right.

I suggest the live and let live approach

I'm saddened by the layoffs. TLD is one of the greatest survival games ever, and I want Blackfront to succeed. Let's not bullshit. You grandstanded politically as a company instead of individuals. This implicates potential disagreeing staff and, even worst, alienated huge chunks of your player base.
