Do we really need to explain why an oil company trying to cozy up to the younger generation is a bad thing? Really…?
Apparently so.
No but thinking this is somehow indoctrinating kids is hilarious.
Then why do you think Shell prompted these streams?
So they'd tell their parents to fill up at Shell instead of Chevron or whatever. It's not like kids are going to want more fossil fuels, they'll just want to shop at the cool brand instead of the less cool brand.
Lmfao
Okay, so what are they trying to do then?
Then describe the innocent reason for adding a gas company in a video game? Like it doesn't fit in universe at all, but arguably does have an indoctrining effect
