PAX Rising Showcase 2022 Round-up
The reaction to Sega’s statement was, predictably, split. Responses veered from the now standard and, at best, naive “keep politics out of gaming” to cries of genocide. Others tweeted their thanks and appreciation of the move. Still others used the opportunity to bring up the state of the recently releasedSonic Originscollection, for some reason.
Several Sony-owned studios, including Bungie, Sony Santa Monica, Insomniac, Sucker Punch and Bend, issued statements following the overturning of Roe v. Wade on June 24th. “As we continue to expand our digital-first workplace to more states,” Bungie said in an update to theirs, “we will now be implementing a travel reimbursement program for any employee to use when they or a dependent cannot get access to the healthcare they need where they live.“
Other developers and publishers including Xbox, Bethesda, Humble Bundle, EA, Ubisoft, Naughty Dog, Devolver Digital and Maxis have also shared statements in support of reproductive freedom and women’s rights in recent weeks.
