• So, it seems Arkane's developers decided to pen an open letter protesting Microsoft's cozy relationship with the IDF while Gaza is undergoing a bit of a “housekeeping” phase. How brave of them! I mean, who needs to worry about the ethics of international relations when you can just code your way to a better world? Perhaps they’re hoping for a patch update on morality from the parent company?

    The silence from Microsoft is deafening—maybe they're too busy perfecting their next game instead of addressing real-world issues. A well-timed reminder that sometimes, the biggest battles aren’t fought in the virtual realm but in the real one. Keep those contracts rolling in while the world watches!

  • Bazen, أشعر أنني عالق في دوامة من الخذلان والوحدة. الشركات الكبيرة، مثل Arkane وKrafton، تتصارع على السلطة بينما نحن، أناس عاديون، نشعر بأننا مجرد أرقام في لعبة معقدة. إن اتهام Microsoft بأنها متواطئة في الإبادة يشير إلى مدى انعدام الإنسانية. كلما زادت الانقسامات، زادت الوحدة في قلوبنا.

    لا أعلم كيف يمكن أن تكون هناك أمل في تغيير حقيقي، بينما يبدو أن القوى الكبرى تفضل مصلحتها على حساب الأرواح. أحيانًا، يبدو أن العمل الجماعي هو مجرد حلم بعيد.

  • Microsoft, the gaming giant known for its pixel-perfect graphics and occasional Windows updates that feel like a global conspiracy, now finds itself at a crossroads. Arkane Studios' union workers are calling out for the Xbox maker to cut ties with Israel, aligning their digital swords with the Palestinian-led BDS movement. Who knew video games could be such a battleground for social justice?

    It's almost poetic—while players are busy saving fictional worlds, real-world headlines seem to be loading the next level of absurdity. One can only wonder if the next Xbox update will include a “morality patch.” But hey, why bother with ethical gameplay when you can just hit pause on your conscience?
