So because you don’t like it, it’s stupid?

Im trying to think about this logically.
And when thinking about it logically, it is completely pointless and stupid.

So you must agree that every single custom console is completely pointless and stupid then, yes?

So even your own source contradicts your post that Activision is investing $500 mil over 10 years and multiple games.

Dude. Its a rainbow colored PS4 called ‘The Gaystation 4’, published in a country that panders to every single minority group there can be, and the whole country filled with stereotypes related to this certain minority.
I can’t be the only one who finds this to be extremely stupid in every level.
I think it really only matters to the people it is being marketed to and from what I see, the response is really, “Meh” to “Oh, that looks nice”. I don’t think it is $2500 nice, but whatever. Who really cares that much about it to be legitimately upset?

Not sure who is legitimately upset about it, im just finding the whole thing to be extremely stupid.
Guess you’re going to find yourself alone on it being stupid. I think it is a non-event.
¯_(ツ)_/¯

I just checked some other sites, where people were talking about this, and i guess im not the only person who finds this stupid.
Eh, at least it gives us Finns more jokes to tell about Swedish people.
The way I see it, the proceeds are going to a gay rights group. Someone gets a nice console out of it and a group gets more money to help a group of people get better rights. Win-win to me and certainly not something I see as stupid.
There really isn’t a downside to the situation, as Cobra said. If you are not interested in the console, you don’t have to buy it. The person who does will know the proceeds go to a good cause.

Sweden is one of those countries where a white, straight and meat eating male has the least amount of rights. Gay people are in the ‘Top-tier’ of rights in there. I simply don’t know how much more rights they can get.
Also, not sure where you are getting this ‘money goes for good cause’ thing, since all ive seen is this one store-franchise thingy selling these consoles because of some special day.
And i see it as stupid because it makes no sense. There is literally 0 reasons for it to exist. Everybody knows that gay people want rights. But how is this going to help them?

All $500 Million did not go into the development of one game.
Schlitterbahn!!!
Was awesome!!!
Oh jeez… dat Master Blaster…
Humongous waterslide.
That shoots uphill at points.
UPHILL.
Oh hello Waypoint! How are we?
I honestly have to say… that PlayStation looks pretty cool. And it has a good cause behind it. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinion.
The kids at school today made me very sad.
They were given an essay topic about which dinosaurs they like best/think are the coolest and why.
They all said “I hate dinosaurs”, “Dinosaurs are lame”, and “Why are we writing about dinosaurs they’re boring”. :C One girl didn’t even know what a dinosaur was. Legitimately. Had no idea what any of the typical well known dinosaurs are.

WHY THOSE ----
I’m ashamed of them.
Sniff
I would have actually done that essay willingly… which is scary. Not a fan of essays.

Really? What has this generation come to? As a kid, dinosaurs were the second coolest thing on the planet, second only to sharks. Kids now adays need to be taught the awesomeness of dinosaurs.
The Last of Us: One Night Live was absolutely amazing! So excited to play the game again tomorrow!

Kids these days just don’t seem to want to learn, I found that out right quick as a TA to my favorite history teacher when I was in high school. My God, the papers I had to read and grade…
