It's still a safer bet to avoid whatever they consult on, they've an eye for trash writing and they thrive on "fixing" that. And companies that hire them are just out there to make a quick buck rather than creating a good story, experience or game.

its a good scam create problem that you are the solution to and you never have to face the consequences of what you do because you never make your own games you always work on other peoples games as consulted so that it can never be traced back to you unless you make it public and publish it on your own sweet baby site as promotion to do it again.

This particular take that's going around seems to be almost as stupid as Sweet Baby Inc's attempted takedown of the Steam group.

They're just pointing out reality - gaming media is "woke", if your product doesn't check the diversity and inclusion boxes it will be criticized, "hire us to help". They're basically a PR firm.

This isn't them threatening to cause the damage, they're not The Mob - "Say, that's a nice game you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it."

, if your product doesn’t check the diversity and inclusion boxes it will be criticized, “hire us to help”.

That's textbook extortion. "Nice product you got there, be a shame if twitter didn't like it. Maybe pay us some money, make sure nothing untoward happens to your product"

I mean, how is it not.

Me observing that it's cold out and offering to sell you some gear so you can avoid frostbite isn't extortion.

Me threatening to break your legs if you don't buy something is.

Hope that helps.
