Indie developer Speculative Agency has made the unusual decision to return funding received from Microsoft due to ethical concerns surrounding the company's ties to the Israeli military. The funding was part of a developer acceleration program for their game 'All Will Rise', which focuses on activism. This decision aligns with a broader movement within the gaming community advocating for a boycott of companies perceived as complicit in war crimes. The response from the gaming community has been overwhelmingly supportive, reflecting a growing anti-war sentiment.
