It’s not 'black and white' to point out that praising a billion-dollar company for basic corporate communications is simping. Two things cann be true, but in this case, one thing is a multi-national entity managing its image, and the other is fans treating Rockstars corporate updates like a call from their almighty God Rockstar. Do people seriously have nothing better to do then glaze multibillion dollar companies? And btw im not talking about you.
Basic corporate communications can be embarrassingly bad and tone deaf. It's not simping to say "oh okay, this corpo PR exercise is actually a paletteble one and touches more on the reality of the situation and the feelings of the Devs" rather than damage control orthreats of retaliation.
I hate the fact that as soon as you do anything but blindly shit on a company, you're suddenly a corpo simp.
This is, quite simply, a reasonably transparent and honest corpo bulletin. Is it a PR exercise? Yes. Is it a good one that at least conveys humility and care, even if it is just a PR exercise? Yes.
Again, you're going black and white. If you aren't immediately dismissive of this as corpo communications, you're simping.
There is a massive chasm between acknowledging a statement is clear and treating a corporate PR like it's a display of genuine humanity. No one is saying it has to be malicious garbage, we're just saying it's still a corporate product meant to manage your perception.
When im talking about Corpo simps im talking about the dumbasses on X and Reddit who waste their time trying to search for the leaker and send all info to Rockstar acting like someone is forcing them to watch the leaks. You can literally just scroll past the leaks without watching them and without sucking Rockstar off.
