IIRC, the Playstation brand is the only thing Keeping Sony in the black. So...Is Sony the largest company to DMCA Kiwifarms? I feel really bad for Sony stock owners as they had no idea that Sony would turn itself to a sinking ship.

Making her lesbian, makes pathetic guys fap over her more - not less.I like the character for the character, and not because I'm some gross guy that would sexualize a fictional 14 year old girl, and am somehow angry that I can't fap to her (or some other variation of such nonsense).
Well, he didn't really destroy the company, and Gillette doesn't independently have a pool of shareholders, as such. They are a subsidiary of Proctor & Gamble. It was Proctor & Gamble that took a hit, to the tune of $2 per share, based on a $8 billion write-off from the Gillette division.
Reuters said:Cincinnati-based P&G, which operates in 80 countries, sells Gillette razors, gels and foams worldwide and said the writedown was due primarily to currency fluctuations - enduring strength in the U.S. economy in recent years has strengthened the dollar. The charge was also driven by more competition over the past three years and a shrinking market for blades and razors as consumers in developed markets shave less frequently. Net sales in the grooming business, which includes Gillette, have declined in 11 out of the last 12 quarters.
And to be fair, the campaign surely had effect, but most of the write-down was due to currency fluctuations, people growing more beards and losing customers to instances such as Dollar Shave Club or whatever that is, as explained here: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-proctergamble-results-idUSKCN1UP1AD
That said, cueball was certainly taken to the board room and told to cut dumb publicity stunts off.
Visual novels are not games though.To think I thought Sony censoring Japanese games was the worse they could do. Now they are trying to censor the Internet.
I judge people by their dogs, and that's one pathetic doggoHmmm. So there's a Dana Criste who was a law student at the Babes-Bolyai University (one of the top ones in Romania). Could this be her?

Crash was never theirs to begin with. Universal came to them with a game concept and they said OK.Damn shame ND sold away Crash. I’d love to see a hulking shemale bandicoot kick the living shit out of Crash and Coco.

That's an existing alternate costume for Crash team Racing.Thank you. Even with the vast amounts of text I read every day, every month, for decades, this is the first time "a hulking shemale bandicoot" was beamed into my brain, and I love it.
This is who Sony hires for legal representation? A trashy Romanian hooker with a law degree?Hmmm. So there's a Dana Criste who was a law student at the Babes-Bolyai University (one of the top ones in Romania). Could this be her?

Romania was nearly destroyed by privatization and the recapture of its commanding heights by the people who caused trouble there in the interwar period, but I don't think she's any trashier than any Western female lawyer.This is who Sony hires for legal representation? A trashy Romanian hooker with a law degree?
Is poison even considered a tranny thr japs?The thing about TLOU2 is that it's too hamfisted and the messaging is confusing. If anything Abby or whoever is a 90s stereotype of a tranny, le big hulking man with 5oclock shadow that gorillas around in a dress before giving in to his inner rage and beating a vulnerable white woman to death. The only thing they're missing is to make her a black but I guess they have to keep her light skinned so she'll have some appeal. No one likes black trannies, not even black trannies.
The thing about transgenderism, and LGBT characters in general, is that there are lots of games with homosexual relationships and even gender-transitioning characters. Like damn, dating simulators and visual novels got in on this stuff decades ago. Duckman or however his name is spelled is not coming out with anything new. Even Bioware got one over them when they came out with KOTOR -- the Cathar girl in KOTOR was a lesbian romance and you can mod her romance back in. (They cut it after Lucasfilm told them there were no gay people in Star Wars or something. Then they made Jade Empire and the rest is history.) Now in the modern gaming landscape you can go to the indie scene and find lots of games with gay and/or trans characters and those games are actually pretty fun.
I think that Duckman's mistake is the mistake that a lot of folks make when they decide to do Gay Tourism. They think they're God's gift to LGBT people and that everything they make is gold and sacrosanct mana from heaven. But they're still Tourists which means they don't actually have ability. They just imitate better material. Duckman might actually be stupid and ignorant enough to think that he's the first person to have a transgender main character and that he would """serve""" the LGBT community by giving her a dark and edgy backstory.
The thing that people have to understand is that almost every game has a market. Games with gay protagonists have a market. Games with murderous stereotypical trannies that murder cis women have a market. Games set in bleak post apocalyptic atmospheres with gay romance have a market. The mistake that developers keep making is that they think these markets are widespread instead of very niche.
I'll finish this post by making a comparison. There is a fighting game series called Fatal Fury. It's a fun fighting game that appeals to a lot of people. One of the main characters, Terry Bogard, was put into Smash Brothers Ultimate as a DLC character and now more people than ever are getting into SNK.
SNK has other games featuring the Fatal Fury characters though. One of those is a visual novel dating game called King of Fighters for Girls. It's a niche title but I know people who play it. Apparently its very fun. I know it's also responsible for getting people to check out the fighting game because they liked the characters from the VN.
There are ways to get these titles with niche subjects out there, be profitable, and still stay in line with the franchise. The entire reason anime and such are successful is because the Japs figured out how to monetize the shit out of everything and want it to be enjoyable.
Oh yeah, that reminds me of another transgender character that came out before TLOU2. This character is a post-op tranny who regularly beats the shit out of women and men. This character was the result of Japs trying to figure out how they should market her to a Western audience. She has since gone on to be a successful and beloved legacy character that trannies actually like and that is also popular with mainstream audiences.

It's not impossible or even difficult. You just have to use your brain.
What we're witnessing is a new dark age. Not the "burn witches and live in huts" kind, the "rise in illiteracy and cultural hatred of knowledge" kind. All this woke garbage and big tech censorship is not some counterculture that will be buried by history, it is the mainstream and one day it will bury us. All the free speech advocates remembered as collaberators that gave "Nazi gangs" the freedom to recruit; all the historical sticklers remembered as "revisionists" who denied the existence of trannies and female soldiers in WW1; this very controversy remembered as some attempt at silencing pro-female game developers because somehow we're only mad at Joel dying. You might think I'm being hysterical, but I'm not. It'll all be footnotes. Hardly remembered, if at all. But it won't be the only thing forgotten; that's my point. All this freedom and wild west internet will be gone, distorted in memory, and ultimately demonized.

People are sending a message, and that message can only be ignored for so long by people who are dependent on votes or dollars from the masses.
