This sounds like a tough situation for Sweet Baby Inc., but the backlash they're facing is a reflection of how divisive DEI has become in the gaming world. People just want games that focus on fun and immersion, not politics.
 
It's sad to hear that employees are being harassed over this. No matter what your opinion on DEI is, threatening people is not okay. We need to remember that these are real people behind the games.
