  we also helped pay for that guy's trip to Everest.
The accusations against Parlamentní listy apparently played a role in Španěl and Pavlíček's decision to add it to their portfolio. Španěl told Game Developer that the pair "recognized the increasing distortion of public debate during key moments like the 2015 European migration crisis and the Covid-19 pandemic."
"This motivated us to take responsibility and help ensure independent voices challenging the prevailing narrative could be heard. We believe freedom of speech is essential for a prosperous and thriving society and competition of different world views, ideas and approaches is super important."

- They entered the public consciousness by running a massive marketing campaign "Nobody dictates us what we can write" around 2017 (prior to the acquisition), mocked as "Nobody writes us what we can dictate". They are well known for being fringe but I don't frequent the circles of their potential readers so I can't tell you what they think.
Was really looking forward to arma4. Guess we will wait and see then.
Chernarus is Ukraine, go back and play the harvest red campaign again and pay attention
Accusing them of not towing the line after they made operation arrowhead is very silly, get over it
