    I spoke with several employees of Sweet Baby Inc. to learn what the company actually does and how the misunderstanding of its role in the industry highlights a far broader problem.

    You don’t know what Sweet Baby Inc. does, but you assume the people complaining about SBI must be incorrect? Do journalists in any other sector of the market fall all over themselves rushing to defend companies like they do in game development?

      The alternative is believing everything without confirming anything, do you think that’s better?

      Isn’t it weird how your mom keeps having sex with your opponents in call of duty?

      The first thing in the sentence is literally them learning about what the company does, directly from the source. Who exactly do you think is more qualified to comment on it? Random internet users with no relation to the industry?

      Do you think the headline was written first, because it’s what you read first?
