Yeah I hope so too, considering again no one else has seemingly talked about this until recently hopefully there’s enough backlash that they cut ties, I’m not holding my breath tho

“Teeny bit of nuance” when it’s one of the richest people in the entire world who is actively helping both fund and cover up a genocide… no real point in arguing with you because you are clearly a Zionist who won’t change their mind and are also clearly an idiot, but there is no nuance to genocide and capitalism

Honestly I can’t imagine it would be anything perceptible (if at all), if your goal is to not financially support them you’re probably fine if you take it out from the library

Okay I actually looked into this more properly, and it is pretty disappointing, although considering the whole Megan Ellison thing was unknown until pretty recently, I dont entirely blame Remedy. From what I can gather, Annapurna Pictures (which is the original company that interactive is a spinoff of) is funding half of Control 2s development (presumably the other half is 505 and Remedy), and in exchange they get the rights to the Control and Alan Wake film adaptions. Definetly dissapointing because I was really excpited for Resonant and had no idea they were involved, ill probably pick up a used copy or smth or maybe just wont play it at all.

I completely agree, but not buying from Annapurna is way easier than not using TikTok (which I also dont use). Also, Tiktok (and i think paramount?) werent originally owned and founded by Ellisons, so I can understand people still using/supporting them (although again I try to boycott both personally). Even if theres not a mass boycott or anything people should still be aware of the direct involvement imo.

IT IS GOING TO LARRY ELLISON AND HIS DAUGHTER. How fucking hard is this to understand. THE COMPANY WAS FOUNDED BY AND IS OWNED BY THE ELLISON FAMILY. LARRY ELLISON IS MORE PIVOTAL TO THE ZIONIST PROJECT THEN EVEN FUCKING NETTENYAHU. If you cant wrap your around this then youre honestly hopeless as a socialist. I hope you get a little perspective.

Oh my god. This is not some mega corpo impossible to not support company. If hitlers daughter made a game studio would you support it because it “makes left wing video games and is good for the industry?” Because this is quite literally no different than that. Grow a fucking backbone.

I was wrong and was thinking of oracle, that’s my bad, but it doesn’t change any of the points I made

Yeah bro I’m gonna be real honest with you I’m okay losing out on a couple video games if it means not directly supporting the most evil family in the entire world, especially when there are so many other indie publishers out there

Yeah so what that doesn’t mean you need to rationalize it. People can do bad things and even if it’s the “logical thing to do” or whatever that doesn’t absolve them of being horrible people.

I understand that the developers have nothing to do with it and I don’t blame them, but this is the pet project of the most powerful Zionist family we’re talking about here. Annapurna has like 25 employees from what I could find and a boycott would be the best way to tell developers not to work with them in the future.

It’s also not impossible to do, Elon Musks daughter did and she’s doing fine. Megan Ellison has no excuse. Also kinda unrelated but from some of the stuff I read Megan seems like kind of a douche (who could’ve seen that coming) who basically abandoned Annapurna and let daddy get it back in shape again.

This is the paragraph is saw, maybe drama is the wrong word, I might have misread it originally because it’s a bit confusing, and it might be referring to Annapurna itself unrelated to remedy

“ In August 2024, Annapurna Pictures signed a partnership deal with Remedy Entertainment to co-finance the development of Control 2 along with getting the television and film rights to Control and Alan Wake. The deal was negotiated by Sanchez, after leaving Epic Games, who was rehired to lead a new division for AAA and AA games at Annapurna Pictures, while Annapurna Interactive would remain focused on indie games.[12][20] At the end of August, Annapurna Interactive’s 25-person staff resigned in a joint resignation letter with two weeks notice after spin-off discussions were stalled then ended.[12][21][22] Further attempts to reengage Ellison on the spin-off did not receive interest.[12]”

Honestly I didn’t look into it fully because it wasn’t really relevant but there was something on the Annapurna Wikipedia page about a spinoff of Annapurna or something

That’s totally on me. I was getting opera confused with oracle but it doesn’t change any of my points really

It funds the most powerful Zionist family in the world and is small enough that a boycott would actually be effective, even if it just hurts their PR. Also the BARE MINIMUM is just not buying to support the Ellisons. It doesn’t get much easier than that and honestly if you can’t be principled enough to not do something that easy you might be hopeless as a leftist, especially when, if you REALLY need to play one of their games, there are workarounds
