This comment sounds like you agree that they're doing fake political progressiveness for marketing purposes. So do you rescind your previous comment?


I don’t believe that they’re “doing politics”.

Think of them as widget-collecting aliens who understand nothing about humans but are told that by putting a rainbow on a trinket they can collect more widgets.

There is nothing political about it, it’s just a function of maximised self interest.


That excuses utter amorality way too easily, Blizzard is run by people, not robots or aliens.


Huh. You have a very different definition of politics than I do. I'd even say that insincerely aligning yourself with a political group is even more of a "doing politics" move than sincerely doing so.
