There’s all sorts of things I won’t buy and companies I won’t purchase from. When asked why I’m perfectly happy to give my reasons instead of just saying “I don’t have to and you can’t make me!” Repeatedly.
People can absolutely buy or not buy whatever they want. And when bigots do things because of bigotry I can point out that bigotry when people ask why they are doing those things.
I never said otherwise. I simply said “the reason they don’t want to buy this isn’t because of what the product is, it’s because they are bigots who don’t like the fact that there are people involved who promote inclusivity,” and nobody has presented any alternative reasons.

True. Just be aware that when someone says “this looks like bigotry,” if the only response they get is “I don’t have to explain myself to you!” That doesn’t make it look less like bigotry.
Any reason at all would have looked better. Or just not replying.
And it’s perfectly reasonable for people to ask “why don’t you want to buy a game sweetbaby worked on?”
For example: I won’t purchase a game produced by Blizzard. If someone asked me why I wouldn’t evade the question by saying “I am free to do so, that is my choice.” I will happily tell them it’s because of how poorly they treat their employees, and how they actively make games worse to try to squeeze more money out of people. The entire point of a boycott is to inform people why this company should be boycotted.
All this dancing around answering the very simple question of “why do you actively want to avoid purchasing a game SBI worked on” speaks volumes as to how generally unacceptable that reason must be. Makes it look like people are afraid to “say the quiet part of loud.” Why else would they not just answer the question?
It’s not a plugin, and as far as I know it uses publicly available information.
I just don’t understand the use case. So people look for a game they’d like to try, then go and check that list, then go back and purchase the game if it’s not on the list? Why? If they make games bad the reviews will tell you the game is bad.
i have said it its in the fucking comments you just need to read like i already told you.
And, to repeat myself: I have. All I’ve seen are deflections, and vague statements that the company does bad work with nothing to back it up or to clarify why their work specifically requires a curated list instead of just reading reviews and avoiding poor quality games. (see how easy that was to copy and paste?)
sweet baby is a superficial performative hollow fake company
So what is the need for the curated list? If the company doesn’t do anything useful that’s on developers to not use them. If the company makes games bad that’s what reviews are for and I won’t buy games that are bad, I don’t need to cross reference my purchases with a 3rd party list to avoid poor quality games. If they work on a game that isn’t bad why should I take the advice of this list to not purchase it?
I keep asking you to make a clear direct statement which you are purposely refusing to do. So that just leaves me to guess at what that reason could possibly be that you don’t want to say it out loud.
what is the fucking point
If you’re not going to say anything then what is the fucking point of replying? It would take just as much effort to “repeat yourself” and prove my questions are as disingenuous as you claim.
I have. All I’ve seen are deflections, and vague statements that the company does bad work with nothing to back it up or to clarify why their work specifically requires a curated list instead of just reading reviews and avoiding poor quality games.
