it is very simple. If you have a platform, then people will look at what you choose to put on that platform. He chooses ads and things that make the large companies happy, over bringing attention to things that matter to people actually working in the industry.

I don't care if he does things behind the scenes, if he does, good for him. I and others are commenting about what he chooses to do with his biggest platform.

this grandstanding about how he might theoretically be doing other stuff somewhere but you might not know, isn't helpful.

Mate, me asking "how much is reasonable of us to ask of one person?" is not grandstanding; that's just me countering your point. He has used his biggest platform to address issues in the game industry before, just like you want, so my point still stands: how much is reasonable of us to ask of him? Is it his responsibility to address each issue the industry has or is it reasonable for him to pick and choose his battles?

I don't know why you have this weird obsession with reasonableness. It has no relation. You act like I have said anything else about him.

I'm talking about this one point, you want to make it more than that for some reason. You can have that argument with someone else.

[–] flamingarms@feddit.uk 1 points 11 months ago

Yeah, I think that's probably best, mate, if the argument is shifting towards "why does being reasonable matter?"
