did you scroll up and see the month old likes?
What about tweets from 2 months ago? A day ago?

Stunning visuals in this game.

This is pretty rude to point out. He said it was settled, why do you have to bully him with facts?

Shhhhhh, don't you see that the dev is really sorry?
he's been on the GG train on twitter until pretty recently (April?), though
they're just smart enough to go in full damage control mode

Mate, look up. He was recently liking some questionable shit on twitter, unless those don't count because reasons?
By taking the most neutral position on the matter and without an ounce of malice in my questioning, I'd like to know what you guys are trying to achieve here?
Just going by the number, I'd day 50 pages out of 55 are reprehending the creator's opinions and none of them are talking about the game which is not yet released.
Once again, no aggressivity on my end. Just genuinely trying to understand the goal of this (now derailled) thread.

I got it wrong, it was the game writer who was liking those tweets yesterday. The dev was liking questionable tweets well over a month ago. I really hate it when month old tweets are taken as gospel.

well if Twitter don't want you you might as well be here
We, on this discussion forum; are discussing a matter of interest. We're going to achieve a nice chat. Join in if you like!
Are you a woman?
Because you'd understand immediately if you were sincerely looking for it.

He stated his views are the basis of the game, an exploration of what he sees as the dangers of things like feminism.
His views are part of the game. Nothing is derailed.
There you go.
I'm a bit surprised that this wasn't rolled into it's own thread yet
thing is, this Tim guy really holds quite a number of reprehensible ideas
It's not really derailed. The game has a nice art and a shitty story where "feminism ruined the world".
If it was just the devs views, we could say it's derailed, but no, the dev repeatedly stated that his game is exploring how women and progressives are worst.

Yep. The story apparently reflects these views. Which is the most disappointing part... because that would make it impossible to separate from the creator.
The dev has explicitly stated that the premise of the game is feminism=evil. It's a masturbatory alt right fantasy.

We're discussing something on a forum, which is made for discussion. That tends to be the "goal" of most forums. It's not a derail, according to his tweets his beliefs that modern feminism is bad were going to be woven into the story of the game. Given his continued tweeting with the same beliefs even up to this year, chances are high that's still the case.
Who you vote for doesn't somehow define who you are in every other aspect of life or vice versa. I've met Alt Righters that voted for Bernie, several of them. It's hardly rare or unheard of.
No they're not and you still seem to be ignorant to them.
Unless you're saying Trump also wants to leave NATO because he doesn't want to follow americans into war ? Or because he thinks there are better things to spend money on than more military ?
I wouldn't call them alt-righters but okay.
Do want, yes. It's so rare that I post !
Huum no, I'm a man.
Well I've searched a bit and the core idea (at least the newest I could find since the reveal trailer) behind the game seems to be more akin to IA surpassing humans in every possible way and finding a new purpose in life. Not particulary feminisim or anything. No ?
They call themselves the Alt right as proudly as they say they voted for Bernie.
Whether the guy is self-proclaimed "alt right" or not is irrelevant. Who he voted for means shit if his beliefs and recent statements are in line Trump supporters and every other dumbass fascist out there.
Perfect.
Perfect.
The end result is the same.

You can search more and see where he talks about the game at the inception. It's been posted in this thread and in news articles multiple times. All of this is fair game to discuss. You can discuss other elements if you want to but we are on-topic and discussing matters that are directly relevant to this game and developer.
Have a good day.
This needs to be posted in every thread about this game from now on. Preferably in the OP.

At last a game that fully understands the shortcomings of an automated work force. Not that the corporations will refuses to share their wealth when they own it all, but that it actually works and we live in a utopia. How can the white man claim to suffer in a world where nobody suffers? It's the darkest future of them all.
It is.
Anti-NATO, anti-EU, pro-Russia, hell Melenchon and Trump are also anti-Germany.
Seriously, Melenchons views on Germans are outright xenophobic. Melenchon is a shameful leftist.
No wonder the dev likes him.

By his own admission his thoughts on feminism will be themes within the game.

Other tweets talked about how due to "modern feminism and progressives winning" the world had become a dystopia where genders were being erased. Go back and read more of the thread to see what people are actually talking about.
Is it really that hard? They are mostly anti establishment dudes who saw a rebellion and movement against the accepted norms in this country and society that they don't like. They found the same exact thing in the Alt right after Bernie's campaign ended but a far more twisted and ugly version. They just found a new way to stick it to the man and be rebels.

Can I get a cyperpunk adventure game about milkshake duck going on a quest that changes his racist ways and helps restore credibility to his milkshake empire?

Perfection.
Wishing me a good day while I just joined the discussion is a bit mean...
To answer you, yeah I've seen the tweets like everybody else really. Maybe they're an outdated views on the core principals behind the game's story or maybe they're not. I really can't know this.
Like, this almost HAS to happen at this point.
I get the anti-establishment part, and I can imagine people voting for the other extreme after their candidate was eliminated or something. I don't really understand identifying with the alt-right while supporting the far left though.

Most people are erring towards the side of caution since there is plenty of evidence his viewpoints have not changed as of this year (and it would take a lot of work to alter the presentation of themes in a game, so if he still was posting inflammatory things last month what incentive would there be to alter the game up until that point), and little evidence saying that he has changed. Rather than saying "the game no longer supports those viewpoints" the best the lead writer can say is something to the effect that is will present lots of viewpoints, which is a pretty toothless statement imo.
You seem to believe that supporting the far left means agreeing with every single point they make.
In reality, no politician has the exact same views on everything as his voters. Most voters cherry-pick the parts they like while ignoring or minimizing the parts they don't.
There are also single-issue voters who will support left/center/right as long as they agree on the only one issue they care about.
Anti-establishmentarianism is one such single issue.

So let me get this right. Some games recently have added themes and topics relating characters being gay or having certain progressive view points, then the gamergate bellends get triggered and harass developers. But then a ganergater makes a video game which is met with backlash from those who dislike gamergate and they get triggered. It's almost like they now know what it's like to be in that position.
Can almost hear Sargon of Akkad getting the neckbeard sweats. Who will male a video first, Jim Sterling or Sargon?

I kinda get your point. Outside the fact that caution is not really what's been exerciced here but more like total annilahtion of the game's seemingly (I do emphasise this word) anti-IA vision and like, the creator itself.
What I don't understand really is the hostility toward the game, whishing it to fail instead of maybe trying to alert the developers (which have already responded but hey, it got sunk pretty fast).
(sorry for the slow responses, english is not my main language)

Skimming through this thread since last night. Sounds like he issued an apology, the publisher issued an apology saying he's changed since 2014, and then people found out he kept liking toxic tweets as recently as a few weeks ago? Is that the update?
Yeah. It also wasn't much of an apology frankly.

People tend to not want regressive media to be successful since it could further and normalize regressive views.

Any word from anyone from Microsoft on this yet other than the "2?" tweet from last night?
