Rockstar Shut Down GTA Online, Red Dead 2 Servers Today To Honor George Floyd

Institutional racism no longer exists in the US. The stats prove it. The fact is these communities are worse off now run by democrat leaders than they were when racism was embedded in law. The regressive left have created these conditions and blaming racism as the scapegoat to dress themselves up as the solution thus the term white privilege etc which actually ironically came from upper class whites lol. The self loathing and hate from the left is it's biggest weakness.

@TruSake: I also hear comments about other peoples nationality, gender, accent, anything they can try and grab to insult the other person. Gaming is full of sh*t talk, it's not any deeper than that.It is infantile to think what is happening with these protests is ANYTHING other than fanning the flames of hate and creating more division.

The stats state the facts, police brutality is not racist and institutional racism does not exist. You have the likes of Bob Woodson, an ex civil rights movement leader in the 60s call out these leftist thugs and BLM for what they are. The left is using identity politics to deflect the blame from their own failures in communities that are top to bottom run by democrats.

Where over the last several decades over 20 trillion dollars has been pumped into these communities and crime is higher now that it was when racism was embedded in US law and the KKK were hunting down blacks. The issues of the disadvantageous today mainly stem from the erosion of values that held these communities together in the past and the breakdown of the family and ego centric culture that has replaced it creating a more violent and chaotic environment. If people really care about black lives where are they with the issues that affect them the most, where are they when crime increases and gets worse?

This all is nothing more than virtue signalling by people who are caught up in the new social media trend while unfortunately the real issues won't get addressed because the people highlighting these issues on social media don't even fully understand them never-mind come up with a solution. They are more interested in sharing and liking some half edited viral video with a black heart beside it to let everyone know what a compassionate person they are. What we need is genuine love, not this virtue signalling divisive crap from the left

@TruSake: And that's probably why games journalist and game studios are voicing it now, because racism stems from closed doors or behind cameras, it's only systematic when it's under the surface.

And given so many new generations of gamers who appear be it from what ever walks of life, they too will adopt anurysms of thoughts from other players who say foul racist shit, so I would assume this's to show light that you. Can hide and no abuse at work, or threats or harassment from violent law enforcement (because systematic means, deep rooted a culture of belief of superiority and deep dark nieve thinking that plagues the very foundations of society for no gain other then those beligerant enough to cause it by infecting others who were once not racist to thinking racism)built on decades of oppression.

So systemic racism starts somewhere and it incubates in places like online, and especially in video game online sessions.

So this is the reason why rockstar and other studios have opted in.

@Crazy_sahara: The difference is, that guy didn't die in the street like a dog.

@off3nc3: All of that because you can't play a game for 1 day? Would you like Rockstar to prorate your 1 day loss on your $60 game? I think that would come out to about .164 cents if you say $60/364 days.

Would that make it all better for you?

This comment is a joke. How weak minded are you. This is what happens when you have people educated by celebrities with viral videos

@Pierce_Sparrow: Empathy is not sympathizing with one side of the issue. How about you put on that other shoe.

Shutting down a service your customers have paid for, for your own agenda aside. Put the shoe of a police officer in the street right now. Getting spit on, beat, cursed at, Blamed for an incident you had nothing to do with just because of the color of your skin and uniform. I mean if that was done to any other skin color then white imagine the outrage.

The entire assumption that this was a racially motivated crime is in itself racist. There is no evidence it was except the fact the officer was white. \

Put yourself in the shoes of someone that believes in the rule of law, And a bunch of companies joining a protest that is unjust that is protesting injustice. You know what we used to call a group of people out in the street screaming demands before the justice system has had time to work? A lynch mob.

I have alot of experience in grief and loss. And i can tell you in most instances the ones voicing their empathy are full of it and could care less. It is the people that say nothing and leave you alone that have true empathy.

@Pierce_Sparrow: I totally get it, and I agree that people being mad while all of this stuff is happening does make me feel sad about the world we live in, however, its a bullshit move, just a marketing stunt. What would it accomplish? They should have donated say 1 day of all their GTA/RDR2 online in-app purchases if they really cared, not this bullshit. Making people unable to play a game online only makes them hate the cause. How is blocking access to a game supposed to make people feel empathy? Donations don't necessarily support the cause but at least they can be used to support young people financially for college, etc.

@Pierce_Sparrow: Upvote!

@deviltaz35: You now broke, recession imminent.
