    To be clear, this is a falsified version of this article from 2022 (“French officials told to abandon gaming Anglicisms”)

      I just checked if this exists (before I saw your post). It’s excellent satire as it could so easily be true.

      Ye gods! Don’t get me started on the stupid anglicisms in gaming. It’s fucking infuriating! But what can you do…

      That makes sense. This seems more likely to come from Québecois language purists than French ones. 😉
