This particular take that’s going around seems to be almost as stupid as Sweet Baby Inc’s attempted takedown of the Steam group.
They’re just pointing out reality - gaming media is “woke”, if your product doesn’t check the diversity and inclusion boxes it will be criticized, “hire us to help”. They’re basically a PR firm.
This isn’t them threatening to cause the damage, they’re not The Mob - “Say, that’s a nice game you got there. Be a shame if something happened to it.”
, if your product doesn’t check the diversity and inclusion boxes it will be criticized, “hire us to help”.
That’s textbook extortion. “Nice product you got there, be a shame if twitter didn’t like it. Maybe pay us some money, make sure nothing untoward happens to your product”

I mean, how is it not.
Me observing that it’s cold out and offering to sell you some gear so you can avoid frostbite isn’t extortion.
Me threatening to break your legs if you don’t buy something is.
Hope that helps.
Nurses: “that’s a nice cut you have there, would be a shame if it got infected. Pay me some money and I’ll clean and bandage it.”
Grocers: “that’s a nice stomach you have there, would be a shame if it went empty. Pay me some money and I’ll give you something to fill it.”
Firefighters: “that’s a nice house you have there, would be a shame if it burned down. Pay your taxes and I’ll put the fire out.”
Teachers: “that’s a nice kid you have there, would be a shame if they weren’t educated. Pay me some money and I’ll teach them.”
Guys I think all beneficial services might be extortion /s
Nah, more
"Hey, company. You have a nice product. I have a large following on twitter, quite the large mob.
Be a shame if I said bad things about your product, and the mob didnt like your product."
Okay but you’re lying. The developers of multiple companies have said they reached out to Sweet Baby for consultation, not the other way around.
