Did you read the article? What are you trying to say?
Targeted harassment of a journalist isn't, "reviewing products poorly." I went to go find an example of exactly what was being slung their way, but they took their whole profile private.
Shock of shocks, a company that refuses to work with a D&I consulting firm is soon found to have serious D&I problems.
Bro this is like saying there's a conspiracy afoot because the cops "magically" showed up to arrest me just days after I shot someone in broad daylight, or that the tree "magically" only fell through your roof after you told the insurance salesman to fuck off, or that your house only flooded "magically" right after you told the plumbers you could handle the burst pipe yourself.
Tell that to all your rotted out walls and floor boards.
Yeah because Tony Soprano definitely has the time to come break your pipes specifically over not buying some dude's flood insurance.
That definitely checks Occam's razer. What is your salmonella from the pasteurization mafia now too?
Did they also mistranslate the Chinese women commenting on trailers that the studio is gross and don't want women playing their game?
It's honestly tragic, if you read that article it's primarily about the Chinese game industry culture with one game and studio used as an example because it's a supposedly a AAA game to rival western studios.

We're being asked to believe ign has slandered a large Chinese studio, entirely made up, and kept the article up regardless. It just doesn't hold water. Harrassing some poor women off social media and writing long comments about everything being made up is easy, but ign are still standing by the article six months after it was published.
