No, the whole point is virtue signaling. It’s an open letter, so it’s not a request for humanitarian aid funding or anything like that, and it’s highly unlikely to effect any kind of change.
It’s all part of this culture war nonsense. Just let a video game event be about video games. We don’t need to insert politics and global events everywhere.
And I am mad about the Palestine situation. I hate Hamas for attacking Innocents in Israel and kicking of this whole mess. I hate Israel for killing so many civilians in their attempts to root out Hamas. I hate that Palestinians don’t have a stable country to call home. But an letter at a gaming event isn’t going to change any of that.
