And I mean...

They know what they're doing and who they're playing to. Whoever's running that account has spent some considerable time on 4chan.
Not that any further confirmation was needed that P-A's community manager is a GGer, but hopefully this clears things up for people late to figuring it out. This confected outrage spun up by P-A has resulted in a collective tantrum from GG bottom feeders and caused a shitty past few days for a few select people on twitter. People have been doxxed over this.
Claiming that anyone who complains about "SJWs" is a GGer is the sort of guilt by association I was talking about. Not thinking that there is anything wrong with the game doesn't automatically mean that you're pro harassment or think that sort of thing is okay. There are opinions other than GGer and "SJW" out there, it's not straight black and white.
There is a post in this very thread calling for a site wide boycott and saying that P-A should be a banned site here.
I totally agree that if someone is coming offended by P-A's tweets they should boycott, I don't buy from P-A myself as I've previously mentioned in this thread.
Have you seen P-A's twitter feed? They've been pandering to GG for days.
You're trying to confuse the issue by talking about the game, rather than P-A's tweets. This isn't about the quality of the game and what people think of it. It's about what you think of P-A pointing at the SJW boogeyman and then continuing to pander to a hate mob in the days following.
To make the point clearer: your desire to play the game has nothing to do with either group. No association existed between either group and this game before P-A gathered the pitchforks. You don't have to attach yourself to GG or to social justice to talk about, play, or sell the game. P-A did though, and in the aftermath we've had the harassment campaign spun up again.
This thread is about discussing the tweet. Now you can feel one of two ways about the tweet: you can agree with it, or you can disagree with it - black and white. There's no grey area here and I'm not sure why you're trying to find one. It would be impossible to not fall into either side here without just removing yourself from it entirely. There's degrees to how invested you will be in either side, sure, but the beliefs of both sides are diametrically opposed.
