Lol. It's the most extreme gaming hype whiplash I've ever experienced.

It's like meeting someone new and going to shake their hand but instead they punch you in the face with brass knuckles that somehow read out 'M I S A N D R Y' (they have a lot of knuckles, maybe?)

Also I think we should ban all discussion of comic books of any kind on every Internet medium possible, we have to stop Slayven at all costs

Indie games are way more reflective of and molded by their creators than AA or AAA games.

This never made sense to me.

Honestly, the whole love affair with this aesthetic strikes me as a little gross. I can recognize the effort in some of the production, but the overall design is completely derivative. Just because you copy something else that was original at one time does not make the borrowing worthwhile. This game's art design is shit pastiche from artists with actual merit. If you compare it to something like Ori the difference is fairly evident.

I wonder how many GGers who support his project have complained about politics in games
I fucking love these types of idiot. They know, acknowledge, and are okay with the fact video games and other artistic mediums contain political themes. They just get mad when they aren't the "right" type of politics.

"Wow this game is pretty!"

*the director supports gamergate and finds feminism to be overblown*

"Uh wow, maybe I can separate the art from the artist...?"

*tweets suggesting that the narrative of the game will be seen through that lens*

"FUCK"
Oh.

Well fuck.

I now wonder if the developers remarks on UBI being seen in a negative light in the story has to do with the fact Brianna Wu, who is running for office, supports UBI.

Seeing how far down the rabbit hole of "feminism is the apocalypse" idea to the story, I fear it's more that than actually concerns of the future, technology, and the 'rebooting' of purpose.
 
Shitty political views is one thing, but actively supporting GamerGate which was a prolonged hate and harassment campaign directed against women in the gaming industry that we're still seeing the effects of today is something awful enough on it's own to warrant skipping the game entirely.

While I think that criticism of Microsoft for either complacency or not doing research is totally called for...

this post, gif and all, felt like a weird look into a world where fanboy wars are held on the basis of the media-facing wokeness of ethically bankrupt major corporations, lol

Given his tweet about the games premise and message and they'd have to read game documentation to approve it I'm not sure much research was necessary.

Hey this guy has a tumblr.

Mission accomplished, I'd say.

This is wild.

This guy is a billionaire, he could do anything he wanted but instead he sits at his computer and flings shit at women that have been harassed, how fucking sad.

Couldn't have put it better myself. Could pretty much literally do anything else with his time but he decides to be shitty online instead.

MS probably wasn't fully aware of what the game was.

Dude might not have been totally forthcoming during the pitch. And that trailer did look amazing. He probably showed them a bit of the game and they signed off on it.

Would not be shocked to see articles about this tomorrow and MS removing the game from their line up.

All of this just makes me happy that Humble Bundle exists so I can give all of the money to charity and HB.

Please go on a HB soon after launch
 
Kind of pissed, because I'm probably a substantial reason to why some people were excited or interested about the game on GAF.

I've been following your updates on this game and posting about it for a few years now, so I understand. This is kinda heartbreaking and beyond frustrating. People suck :(

You and the Slayven are the same person. Stop.

Yeah I doubt they knew, most of us did not know even people that follow the game for years.

Man, this escalated quickly.

A cyberpunk dystopia based on feminism run amok is just the stupidest fucking thing ever. Forget corporate states and the state's monopoly on force being a thing of the past. What really turns society into hell on the common person is... equal pay for women? Male birth control? Artificial wombs so that women can be freed from the physical demands of pregnancy and childbirth AND have children? The horror!
 
Like I said a way back on this thread -

Why would a Gamergater put his game on Humble Bundle
Why would Humble Bundle, a place that did a bundle to support the ACLU, even approach him?

You and the Slayven are the same person. Stop.

Here's how you can tell the difference between me and Slay:

1: I'm not black
2: I hate comic books
3: I can fly

I am here to proivide out of the box solutions to today's synergistic possibilities.

It's a good way to shift the paradigm into workflow solutions

the world is a dystopian hellhole because feminism succeeded

That could be very interesting, no? You think it might be too edgy? I mean if it's not just pure misogyny and crazy "the feminists are here to get us", I find the idea very intriguing. An interesting role reversal. Makes me think of a dark version of Machulski's Sexmission.

Yes, Tim Soret is a gamergater.

And, no, outing him as a gg scumbag isn't a thread derail as it will be important information for people who may be otherwise interested in the game.

I, for one, think the game looks interesting but knowing Tim is a cunt means I cannot buy it with a clear conscience.

So I won't be buying it.
Ugh why can't I have nice things?
All I'd like is for people who produce good works that I enjoy to not be terrible.... but I can't even have that... smh I already have to check a favorite podcaster for racism
 
Can someone explain to me what does this game/creator have to do with CDPR and their Cyberpunk game?

Nothing? People were really looking forward to this cyberpunk looking game and then those awful tweets by the developer surfaced.

People are saying save us CDPR because they are also working on cyberpunk game.



Edit: beaten.

?

Absolutely nothing besides people saying

"Oh man, cyberpunk as a genre is basically dead and one of the few media coming out of it turns out to be this shitstorm. Please CDPR, don't fuck up your cyberpunk game"

Not to mention that for that to even kind of be possible, the existing power structure would have to completely lie down and do nothing.
