Bethesda Softworks and Microsoft Face Backlash Over Mockery After Charlie Kirk’s Assassination
Bethesda Softworks, the Rockville-based subsidiary of Microsoft, is under fire after posting a controversial Indiana Jones game clip just days after Charlie Kirk’s assassination. The post, paired with an employee’s online comments mocking Kirk’s mourners, has sparked boycotts, subscription cancellations, and calls for accountability across the gaming industry. Conservatives say the silence from Bethesda and Microsoft only proves the gaming world’s deep hostility toward their values.
