2 employees went to twitter to harass a steam group admin for listing the games Sweet Baby Inc. wrote for/were consulted with.
Hi fellow Gamers Lemmings.
This thread was bought to our attention as possibly breaking rule 2 (No Bigotry/Harassement).
First, some context. The article comme from a right leaning website, with mixed factuality and medium credibility.
This means the content of this article shouldn’t be taken as is and should be complemented from other, more neutral/factual websites.For now I didn’t find this story on any verifiable sources with such requirement.
On the other hand, the comments seem to be a lot more neutral than the OP link, and raise some interesting points. As such, I’ll keep this thread, but will keep it under close watch to keep the conversation civil.
Thank you for your understanding.

why did you not do this with any other article talking about sweet baby? are you implying kotaku or eurogamer or Nathan Grayson are any less biased? because they are all so well known for good journalism. also maybe use more then one media bias checker because who checks the media bias of the media bias checker i would never use it because they all seem to have bias themself.
I won’t say that they are perfect, and are center-left leaning, but at least they enjoy a better credibility ratting than BiC.
I can’t say for Eurogamer, I have no data. Feel free to ask any reputable fact checking website for a check.
I’m only pointing that for potentials reader to know that the website isn’t known to be factual and do not have a very high credibility. I’d do the same for any left leaning website.
im not saying any are perfect im saying they are the same or worse. kotaku specifically has a very bad reputation but your bias checker seems to totally miss that nobody thinks kotaku has a high credibility it has had this reputation for years. seems the bias check is useless if the bias check itself is biased like the sites its supposed to check and how will you check that bias check is not biased itself that’s why i don’t really care much for checks like that.the Senior editor at Kotaku says you cant be racist against white people that seems a bit biased to me. seems like something someone in that position should not say. seems to undermine the credibility.
If MBFC would rate all right leaning media source as not factual/not trustworthy, yes, it would be a clear sign that it would be biased itself. But it doesn’t.
Example of right leaning media with good rating : https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/daily-signal/
Example of left leaning media with bad rating : https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/change-org/My work here as a moderator is to give context. I won’t ask of our reader to believe or not the article, just to take the time to do their own research in order to complement the article, which may intentionally not show the whole story.
Edit : link to the explanation of their methodology : https://mediabiasfactcheck.com/methodology/
im just saying that if you do that for one you have to do it for all and definitely if all are talking about the same thing. and like i said are you going to use a bias check for the biased checker because they all do the same thing just not check themself. the bias check seems to be a never ending circle.
So sweet baby Inc (who I never knew of until now) felt attacked by a list on steam which collected titles they worked on (it didn’t say avoid apparently, just a list of titles they worked on with proof from their own media).
Kind of telling of the company that they saw this as an offense to them rather than as a tribute. If they thought their work was good they’d advertise this list themselves.
Also, way to dig a grave.
Collecting lists related to a disenfranchised group or the aid of a disenfranchised group is a pretty big red flag of the actor’s intentions, especially when that list gets passed around to corners of the internet that are well known to think the problem is not enough disenfranchisement.
4chan lost the right to complain about anything related to D&I in gaming and be treated as anything but subhuman slime after Gamergate.

Didn’t know a consulting company was a disenfranchised group.

Amusingly, one of the people Quinn cheated on Gjoni with works for Sweet Baby, just to tie things together. The one that was involved in doxxing and trying to DDoS that crowdfunded game jam project thing that the Vivian James character was created for.
