If you're a politically aware games journalist with access to Sony, how is every question on your list about The Last of Us 2 or the PS5 or whatever not about Uighur slavery?

I think we know the answer in that they'll lose the access & advertising. There's no appetite in going after a hard target (Their own ad $$$, The CCP). HOWEVER I'd love to hear the excuses from their lying whore mouths.

Another aspect is outsourcing of self-esteem to brands. I don't see that budging from pop culture, so as long as the audience is marketed to emotionally, in that moment, then the brand is Good. The brand appeals to the way the online copy writer, or consumer, idealizes their own image and it comforts them. Removing or attacking that source of comfort or pleasure is a step too far for a noo gamez urnalist.

Remember Nike catching flack in the 90s for sweatshops, and globalism being a bad thing? Realignment was breakneck there.
