That's awesome. I'm really surprised too. Good on them.
They're surprisingly ok, at least the ones Twitter is showing me, and the first dozen or so. :p

The verdict is a relief, and I'm glad for the statements from PR that followed up on their initial PR from last year instead of letting it fall by the wayside.
I'm not even gonna look. Really don't need to hear what the GAMEERSSZZZ think of this.

Great! Love to see this.
I expected the worst when I read the "don't look at the replies" post, but (at least on my end) the replies have been pretty wholesome so far, haha.

They actually put their money where their mouth is. They're actually helping the fight for change. So I don't think that's fair at all.
You love to see it. Today is a good day, but the fight isn't over yet.
Beat me to it, but perfect
FWIW I scrolled and all the top ones are really applauding Sony and warning them to brace for replies too.

Yeah, they have a great track record about this, I just mean... man, they were on this one.
I know it's hard to parse attitudes through message board text, so I'll just say it: kudos on this one. Strong language, and they didn't sit on it.

Yeah, people trying to apply console warz to this subject matter look a special variety of awful.
Good on them.
I don't know how to say this but I really appreciate these kinds of moves they were doing for the past year or so.
This got me good haha

Okay, Billion-Dollar Corporation. Keep up the good work making the public seem like you're on our side.

That's nice. How does Sony feel about China's oppression of Hong Kong tho?

Can't believe I've never noticed the sun glasses thing before.
Haha
The thing I find funnier is them taking a picture in their cars. Like who does that?
lmao thats a good reply to all the racist nonsense thats going to follow.
No, but they donated you see, they're in the clear now and no longer contribute to or benefit from any of the systemic issues that this verdict does not even begin to address. It's not fair to them for you to say this.
We can always be super cynical about "woke corporatism"
But the killing of George Floyd had real impacts on the employees of companies all around the country. Statements like this can affect the work culture.

Can we please have the oportunity to ignore those guys here? It really bums me out for some reason.
Seriously.
I really don't like the idea of companies using the verdict as a branding opportunity.
Sometimes you should research what you're about to say before you say it. This is one of those times.
I didn't say anything implying they didn't. Lots of large, diverse corporations do. Lots of large, diverse corporations will also be vilified if they don't post some sort of response as well.
This was simply a statement of fact, thanking them for doing so.

I speak from first-hand experience: you're 100% correct.
My direct supervisor had to take time off of work in the wake of George's murder, and marched multiple times. We're both marketing people, too, who work with diversity + inclusion projects for social and internal comms alike.
It's earnestly nice to see a big company being so 100% clear where they stand on the issue that, yes, will piss off some dirtbag consumers. We can be cynical all we want, but stuff like this does matter.
