W/e they'll get no sympathy from me. What they're doing is idiotic.A lot of other things are also true, which is not a useful point to make when what's being considered is which of those truths people prefer to note on their posts.
They got all political and suffered a backlash. I do not feel sorry for them. If they had remained neutral and were attacked unfairly, I can see it, but they basically asked for a response.
Also, maybe some people don't like it?
Yeah guys, who cares that neo-nazis have taken over the White House? This game dev didn't provide SERVICE with a SMILE!Being unprofessional is unprofessional regardless of your political alignment.
Seriously, some of the posts in this thread are fucking astounding. What the fuck is wrong with some of ya'll?!Yeah guys, who cares that neo-nazis have taken over the White House? This game dev didn't provide SERVICE with a SMILE!
Always with this nazi/facist narrative. Next thing I know you'll be clamoring for antifa support. All of this shit is moronic and bullshit.Yeah guys, who cares that neo-nazis have taken over the White House? This game dev didn't provide SERVICE with a SMILE!

Dude.Congrats on your "both sides are the same!" boring garbage I guess but this is Neogaf, not the South Park forums.
Some day you're gonna realize politics actually are more important than video games, believe it or not.

The Alt-Right, everyone's new favorite boogieman for increasing profits and creating publicity through victimization.
At what point will people realize that all of this virtue signaling is nothing more than an attempt to increase sales through the publicity created in outrage culture and oppression olympics?
Assholes on the right will have bigoted responses and complaints. Assholes on the left will have bigoted complaints and responses. The internet will sensationalize it, opinions become intolerant litmus tests, bubbles divide us into safe spaces that fuel extreme opinions, and we all forget that our love for games is what brings us together.
We're all manipulated into hating each other over a video game just so some assholes can make a little more money.
Don't be a pawn.
Do you know who Steve Bannon even is?Dude.
Neo-nazis have taken over the white house?
Are you for real?
lol okay all joking aside
i like to observe the things people do/say in order to maybe find out how they think
After reading the most hateful, disgusting shit on the internet from places considered "alt-right", and then reading some of the most extreme, passionate responses from people in places like GAF
the only real difference is the curriculum. "Fuck those guys over there, they're the absolute enemy" is pretty much the engine of both sides...and the path they take to get there is virtually identical too. And since neither side sees the other as human, common ground isn't even allowed to exist.
...mkay rumination over, carry on guys
We're talking about an incredibly small team of developers, that happen to be the organizers for the largest LGBT-focused gaming con currently running, who made a game with a very strong political message. This isn't fucking ice cream, they aren't suddenly trotting out a political agenda and trying to sloppily associate it with an apolitical product. They created art with a very clear message behind it, and unless you have proof that this single tweet was some cynical collusion to sell more copies then I'd say the accusation is pretty fuckin' gross dude.It's something brands are doing these days, same with Ben & Jerry's and their BLM message, does anyone actually believe they support it? Lol, it generates some positive feedback, some easily tricked people will buy more ice-cream (and get fat) and that's about it.
Do you know what congress is? They cant even repeal obamacare.Do you know who Steve Bannon even is?
Yes, shut up devs, get back to work! *cracks whip*Hasn't this game been out for years? Who cares about user reviews? Instead of asking for your supporters to brigade the user review section to counteract trolls brigading the user review section, the devs should concern themselves with their next project, or at least finishing the long delayed Vita version of 2064.
Neutrality is not some optimal state of being

Yeah, funny how it's difficult to find common ground with people who are actively fighting to strip away your rights, or in many cases defending groups that actively advocate violence against you simply because of your status as a minority.lol okay all joking aside

Right back at you with the same bullshit trying to polarize people into joining your extreme.Congrats on your "both sides are the same!" boring garbage I guess but this is Neogaf, not the South Park forums.

Yeah not gonna try to defend Trump Administration. It's a fair criticism but when it turns into "the white house is controlled by neo-nazis" I stop being able to follow.People are pointing at a fascist administration and saying "look, fascists." You make this seem like a controversial thing.

Again: do you know who Steve Bannon is?Yeah not gonna try to defend Trump Administration. It's a fair criticism but when it turns into "the white house is controlled by neo-nazis" I stop being able to follow.
Is there any actual evidence that this was brigaded? Its something that's bugging me.I've always found user scores to be more trustworthy than anything else honestly.
I can't forgive reviewers for their treatment of the Pokemon Mystery Dungeon series or Nier (and even if they don't like the games, Explorers of Sky being rated the worst of them all?), and I've always found that if game reviewers are giving scores in the low 70s and 60s, then it likely means that the game is actually more along the lines of being a genuinely bad game. Reviewers are too forgiving in my opinion. It also goes along the other side of things; I don't like how game reviewers typically treat Neptunia games and other games like them as poorly as they do. I think a lot of game reviewers are very unfair to a lot of Japanese games in general even, typically favoring AAA Western titles, and due to the kind of games I like, I can't trust reviewers at all.
I feel like for the majority of games user reviews are generally more accurate for the enjoyability of a game experience than reviewers are.

If Ben & Jerry's doesn't support Black Lives Matter and did it as a publicity stunt, why bother writing all this?It's something brands are doing these days, same with Ben & Jerry's and their BLM message, does anyone actually believe they support it? Lol, it generates some positive feedback, some easily tricked people will buy more ice-cream (and get fat) and that's about it.
I concede again, that is also a fair point. Steve Bannon is worrying. I have issue with people justifying their actions with logic such as "well they're NAZIS though." The ROM devs are being idiots trying to draw publicity to their game because if you follow it at all you know it hasn't done particularly amazing.But what exactly is the issue you take? Why is an administration that takes Steve Bannon into its fold not qualifying as a Neo-Nazi one? The man is an abhorrent ass.
Not people plural, only you because of the way you're posting. It's wrong of me to make assumptions though.You already ARE defending the Trump administration. You're sitting here accusing people of being extremists for saying that an administration is fascist while it hires lead advisors who have a history of calling people "renegade Jews." They are complicit in that reputation, and now you are too. Congrats! *toooooooot*
I find it weird as well when people like in this thread proclaim user scores to be worthless and deserving of being ignored. What sort of person would proclaim something like "The views of myself and people like me are worthless". I guess it stems from a viewpoint of considering that the average gamer is a child or a basement dweller with disingenuous intent which doesn't seem like a healthy or constructive viewpoint in my opinion.
I still hate this comic. The BLM one was on point back in the day but this has just lost the plot.
It's completely possible, even necessary, to disagree with the methods of an ally without joining the enemy. You can call out shitty behavior without defending even worse behavior. Not everyone who admonishes you is an enemy spy; sometimes it's for your own good, or for the good of your shared ideology.
Donald Trump literally advocated violence against protestors and his opponent. You are arguing that we be reasonable with people who have no interest in doing the same.Straight up telling people to 'fuck off' is probably the worst way to involve politics in whatever it is that you do... like, advertising a game in this case.
Because that's not what "user scores" actually mean, if you want to see genuine critiques and opinions go in things like GAF LTTP threads or preview threads. User scores are very frequently brigaded, both positively and negatively.What sort of person would proclaim something like "The views of myself and people like me are worthless". I guess it stems from a viewpoint of considering that the average gamer is a child or a basement dweller with disingenuous intent which doesn't seem like a healthy or constructive viewpoint in my opinion.
I went to the steam page to see what this game is about and it's already in library. Is there a steam sale addict anonymous group I can join.
