The CDPR drama got so interesting that I wanted to see what was up with the biggest gaming company in my country (and GOG).

I found their ESG report on their website. It's a report about things like carbon footprint or social agenda in big businesses.

Thread with info: Image CDPR adopted the ESG reporting in 2022. The EU requires it from large companies this year. Image

Today, I would like to share some of the tactics extremists used to apply pressure and crank up the tension to radicalize me.

The purpose is to share knowledge and, hopefully, help others be more prepared when it happens to them.

Here are the steps (how I perceive them):

1. Initial Probing
2. No Doesn't Mean No
3. Bait Everyone
4. Drag Back The Developer
5. Go To Developer
6. Flame the Culture War
7. Fabricate Social Proof of Bigotry
8. Hide the Evidence
9. ???
10. Is It Over?

Thread below: 1. Initial Probing

The kindest possible request from the kindest soul you could find. How could anyone say no to that?

Think of it as an initial test of your character and perception of the socially delicate topic. It's a baiting method to reveal why you might not want to do what they want, but of course, it would be best for them if you say yes.

I think I handled that well.Image

1) If you're wondering how successful was @SoulashGame and what it took to get here, I bring some data, some advice, a little about me and how I got here, and what it took to make it.

This includes Steam, Itch, Gog, and Patreon over the full duration, including EA.
