As a dedicated gamer, I feel a deep sense of betrayal upon discovering that Anita Sarkeesian, a controversial figure known for her polarizing views on gaming, is now involved as a contractor and contributor on Slay The Spire 2. Like many in the gaming community, I invested in this game under the impression that it would remain loyal to its original ethos without external influence that doesn't align with my values or the spirit of the gaming community. Now, with this unexpected revelation, I am left feeling deceived and dissatisfied.

Slay The Spire 2 promised a seamless and fair gaming experience, staying true to the mechanisms and community-focused principles that made its predecessor a success. However, the developers' decision to engage with someone whose relationship with the gaming community has been contentious, undermines the trust I placed in them. It's important to point out that this decision was not transparent from the outset—many of us only learned about Sarkeesian's involvement after purchasing the game.

This lack of transparency from the developers is not only disappointing but also puts us, the consumers, in a position where we are inadvertently supporting a project that does not represent our interests or the interests of the wider gaming community. Many gamers, like myself, feel caught in a forced engagement with content we fundamentally disagree with, which leaves us with no choice but to demand a refund.

Gamers deserve better. We deserve to have our voices heard and our choices respected by the developers we support with our hard-earned money. It's not just about getting our money back; it's about holding developers accountable to the communities that sustain them. We call on the developers of Slay The Spire 2 to introduce a specific refund policy for players who, like me, bought the game before being made aware of Anita Sarkeesian's involvement.

Join me in demanding this change. Sign this petition to call for accountability and transparency in the gaming industry. Let's ensure our gaming community is never blindsided by hidden agendas again.
