What unifies our team at Xbox is the desire to make gaming a place where everyone feels welcome to play. One of the ways we can help members of LGBTQIA+ communities to feel invited to play is through increased visibility & representation in video games. Representation is a vast and multifaceted topic: it can mean more LGBTQIA+ characters, more story moments featuring LGBTQIA+ themes, or even creating worlds LGBTQIA+ players can feel at home in. For us, it includes empowering our LGBTQIA+ team members to create the kinds of change they’re hoping to see in our games and in the industry at large. In that spirit, here are a few ways that Team Xbox will be supporting LGBTQIA+ communities this year, including a partnership between Xbox Game Studios Publishing and GLAAD:

Xbox Game Studios Publishing Partnership with GLAAD Promises More LGBTQIA+ Storytelling and Representation on Xbox
There's not a person who would dare boycott Microsoft. It' the same thing. I know. I've met them personally, first hand. Microsoft will never be boycotted by Microsoft's customers. - except, save, for buying into Apple who is just as bad.
I've begged people even to consider switching - not even hey let's actually do the work. It's crickets, it isn't happening. There is something "magical" for lack of a better word that makes these big tech companies immune to boycotts. I don't know what it is, but as a spectator I can attest to it and I know for certain others have seen it as well. Big tech has omnipotent immunity.
And lest someone think they are going to say "oh that's just one department of Microsoft..."
No. Just no.

It's arguably the worst because with Xbox they are targeting your children. But, no, it's not just one department.
The acronym keeps changing so fast I can’t keep up.

Who is behind all of this happening so suddenly? Blackrock? Destruction is coming. Mene mene tekel upharsin. Do not buy the XBox at all, no matter what!
Except for something bundled in with something else I haven’t ever bought a Microsoft branded product.
My old Macs will do for the rest of my life.
My wife and I were talking about this the other day. It appears to be a credit system.
Reminds me of how programmers compel AI to do what we want. Assign points for correct behavior.
There is the DIE scale and another one CIE or something. starts with a C anyway.
Apparently if corporate board members score too low, they get fired.
I think the enforcement mechanism is the investment companies that hold everything, Vanguard, State street, Blackrock.
“My old Macs will do for the rest of my life.”
Ans 1:
Your old Macs will have to do for the rest of your life.

Ans 2: Perhaps one day consider upgrading to something running Linux. I’ve had several responses to me indicating that people feel like they are cornered.
No, really, you are not cornered. That’s a choice, there is a way out.
Only three phone providers -- Verizon, T-Mobil, AT&T (every other provider piggybacks on one of the Big Three.)
Only four credit cards - VISA, MasterCard, Amex, Discover. (Is Diner's Club still around?)
It's like that with many companies. Not much competition, and all of them are woke.
It really isn’t all that sudden.
I was one of those who drove to Washington D.C. during the Obama years for Tea Parties. Progressives are “making progress” just as they have always done. The only difference is the contexts.
There was the attempted takeover of healthcare, the Cornhusker Kickback, Common Core, I couldn’t even name it all if I tried. 30 years ago they gave us Motor Voter and tried taking over healthcare then too. It’s just different contexts. It’s all the same.
I made a more complete answer to someone else here:

You’re not actually stuck. That idea is fake and its by design. The big tech companies want you to think they have you cornered when they do not. There are options.
What is Xbox proposing?
What exactly, is a LGBTQIA+ game? It must be something different from the games that are currently available now.
1) Will they have a game where sodomites can rape as many children as possible?
2) Homosexual priest orgies at the Vatican?
3) San Francisco scat and fudge packing parties?
Whatever filth they put out, it is sure to be a best seller. /spit
Actually, they will do because they are good enough. Buying used is an option if I feel the need to play some newer games ... which is not likely.
I’m not cornered. I’m just not spending money on new stuff. That includes anything equipped to be part of the internet of things ... I don’t even carry a phone because I value not being able to be reached.
I think it could be shortened to Faking Alternate Genes
About a year and a half ago, my Windows phone died. So I researched Linux phones. I bought a Volla Phone.
Volla gives you an OS option: Linux or Volla OS (their own propriety brand). I opted for the latter.
Volla is manufactured in Germany. I was assured it would work in the U.S. When it arrived, I went to two T-Mobil stores, and two Metro-PCS stores. Nobody could get their Sim cards to work with the phone.
I sent the Volla Phone back to Germany, and bought an Apple.
More child targeting.
That’s 100% of what it’s about...”Child targeting” = Indoctrination.
Dear Xbox
It’s NOT 1968. It’s 2023. Gay ‘victims’ from 1968 have transitioned into today’s sexual bullies - bullies fighting to sexually mutilate and sterilize children.
Don’t participate in this evil...

PS YOUR Ad Agency Xbox (and Busch's Bud Light's) is using YOUR ad money to push their agenda. It might be time to hire a PR firm that 'LOOKS MORE LIKE AMERICA THAN LIKE A GAY BATHHOUSE....
Homosexual acts should have remained illegal everywhere to this very day. They should be illegal again. It’s okay if the poofters lives get ruined on account of the abominations that they do.
I believe you. You at least gave it a shot though which puts you above 90% of most others. How many others just sit idle? Complain and, well, complain? You did more.
You’ll note I started a Microsoft thread above. And I linked you to the (same-ish) thread I started yesterday regarding Apple.
I don’t plan to start one about Google tomorrow, despite that I could since they’re the same kind of illness.
I readily recognize the immaturity of the phone side of the issue. The desktop situation is just the opposite, you have a highly mature situation and you have to work hard to find those “it doesn’t work” situations. Boycotting Microsoft and Apple Mac is both doable and simple. I double up the question. How many others just sit idle?
I remain considering using the word “magical” as appropriate.
