Nah I think any CEO can send company wide emails sent to their employees any time. PR probably only looks when he is making statements. This was leaked so it wasn't something meant to be shown to the public. Because of that, I doubt PR would do anything and this statement is his own stupidity
Still, PlayStation has what, thousands of employees? You'd think if you're sending out something to that many people, Corporate Communications people would be involved. But maybe not?

Honestly, why wait until OT28? Would it hurt to change the title of this thread now? Especially since it will probably still be around for at least a month? Something along the lines of "Respect a woman's right to choose" or something similar?

IDK, just my two cents.

I'm all for this. Who do we talk to about changing the thread title to reaffirm a positive message about women's reproductive rights?

As a collective and a community.

yeah i dont wanna wait for the next thread lets get that title in now

I'm not sure who to tag in this situation.

But we should do that as a community asap.

If I was Jim and felt all that with my heart, I'd just not send anything.

I guess now I'm really curious about the background stuff that prompted it to come forward so I can admire this misshot even more.
Like is there some big phenomena of infighting among the studio staff right now and this was some haphazard "oh shit guys GUYS stop fighting" bandaid or did was everything cool beans and Jim just decided to fire this up out of nowhere?

In this specific situation I think that's kinda immature.

I understand the sentiment. But a positive message in support of women's reproductive rights really conveys the message we should be sending. In my humble opinion, of course.

Well it IS the topic of discussion now and will be for the foreseeable future. Maybe he was pressured to say something? I'm sure there has been a lot of talk among coworkers about this. And just being realistic here. Not everyone is going to be on the same page.

Now he could have just said nothing. But I assume he was trying to be neutral wit this email which we see how that turned out.

Wow at that title.

Not sure if I'm more impressed at that directness of it or the speed at which it was updated.

Bravo on the thread change, this is needed. Jim's got to go or give a goddamn detailed apology as to what the hell he was thinking.

We'll see where this ends up, there's gonna be a lot of pressure within SIE too.

Not the news I wanted this week. Fuck Jim Ryan indeed. Really not looking forward to his "sorry if you were offended" non-apology.

You know what's immature? Telling women to respect the belief that their bodies aren't theirs.
