A picture a friend of mine posted in a Discord. Its several Harry Potter books on Audible for an ad. Graffiti is sprawled over the books and it reads in all caps: “FIND A BETTER BOOK” A male female, gender symbol, which I’m going to assume represents trans folks is in the top right corner, but there’s an a for anarchy inside of the circle in the symbol
Find a better book

yakuza kiwami 3 is an insult to the game rgg has purported to remake, its players, the studio's previous quality output and, bewilderingly, women. oh, and the casting of an admitted sex pest. i'm somewhere between dejection and fury.
my review for vgc:

truly feels like the BDS Xbox movement in games press circles specifically has experienced little to no motion in the past 10 months.
Really disappointing and discouraging. Idk why everyone shared that YouTube video if business as usual reemerges the second it needs to.

Anyway, Microsoft's gaming products are subject to a boycott from the BDS movement, due to Microsoft's ongoing support for the IDF. Bethesda is owned by Microsoft.

"why do you have to post and repost messages about the BDS boycott every time there's a new game announcement or set of trailers"
because there's this weird phenomenon of active forgetting that Microsoft is a tech partner of one of the most heinous crimes against humanity happening on earth today
Hey, I know Blizzard confused everyone yesterday, but just as a reminder -- Bethesda is also a Microsoft studio, and is still part of the BDS boycott.

I can and I do appreciate it as a function of news coverage, and see value in critics providing perspective. But some of the nuance critics are aware of when previewing is not privy to audiences. To audiences it’s not a carefully curated marketing presentation, it’s early access.

The amount in 2023 alone was absolutely staggering.

In light of today’s Xbox showcase: a reminder that the BDS boycott against Xbox and Microsoft products is still ongoing.
If you say you oppose Israel’s genocide of Palestinians, or oppose ICE here in the US, Microsoft is not a neutral company in either of these stories.
Microsoft provides technology that upholds Israel’s apartheid and powers ICE’s deportation and detention infrastructure.
It’s strange to watch people express genuine, justified rage at ICE and then immediately fawn over Xbox reveals like Microsoft exists in a gamer vacuum

I've got nothing to say about anything in the Xbox developer showcase because I am boycotting Xbox and Xbox Game Studios until, at base, Microsoft divests from its contracts with the Israeli government.
