He's a minority you are aware of that right? Lol
I don't really mind if he's in it or not.
Regardless of his position in politics, I could care less if he's in this game or not. But I couldn't believe how out of control this thread has gotten with hate over a game thats been reviewed well so far.
Since its a steam release I'm sure there will be an anti jontron patch for everyone upset about it. So don't worry antiJT gafers you'll get your game eventually.

Again, the people who would have a problem with the game over something like this generally aren't the people who review bomb. Review bombing comes with the 4chan-style cesspool of internet culture.This.
I'm not even interested in the game but I'm considering buying a copy just to support the people making this, considering the shit that's probably about to hit them (review bombing and whatnot).
This seems like an immensely petty thing to personally hold against a developer
Regardless of his position in politics
I think it's wrong to punish the developer
It's true that it's therefore a matter of principle at this stage. Which doesn't lessen the importance of choosing not to support if that's your stance in the slightest.
A Google employee outed himself as a racist. I really hope Google deleted and rewrote all of his code, or I'm never using Google products again!
Are you suggesting that the entire game doesn't look great anymore because of a single character's voice actor?
The game looks fine, can't support someone who includes someone who thinks my race is ruining the gene pool whiteness of americaAre you suggesting that the entire game doesn't look great anymore because of a single character's voice actor?
Way to come off like a complete and total prick. Others being worse than Jontron doesn't negate the fact that Jontron is admitted and fully out of the closet racist; and in supporting a product that associates with him you imlicitly condone the behavior.Oh no. A racist in my vidyagaemz? Gosh diggity darn it.
Time to start background checking everyone that's involved in the creation of an entertainment product you consume. I bet there's a lot worse shit out there than JonTron.

I mean people on YouTube forget everything. Tmartn and React Channel have operated like nothing happened after their incidents. Kids and a lot of people don't care.The bar for being a racist and it not mattering is super fucking low right now unfortunately.
Those of you who have watched any Roman Polanski movie since 1977, or The Naked Gun any time since 1994, please raise your hands. Now would you kindly make your way outside and stop being hypocrites.
This seems like an immensely petty thing to personally hold against a developer
they had no control over him revealing himself to be a moron, and if his role is extensive, removing him will be even harder and more expensive to deal with
Removing him would be great, but I feel like most of us here should know how time, money, and resources work enough to not shit on the developer for leaving it alone.
.....but it's always easy to know the right choice when you personally have nothing on the line
I really doubt that since he has mentioned in the past as well as tweeted that he isn't white.Oh he got really offended when the guy that was interviewing him told him that he's not white.
My principle is the game looks great and that's all that sways my purchasing intention *shrug*
I read posts like this and my mind just comes back to the question:But guys why is gaming still uncool?Oh no. A racist in my vidyagaemz? Gosh diggity darn it.

Google took action firing by him, try againA Google employee outed himself as a racist. I really hope Google deleted and rewrote all of his code, or I'm never using Google products again!
Due to issues surrounding A Hat in Time brought to my attention by Cerium, I concur that a dialogue needs to take place regarding whether or not it's appropriate to platform this game on GAF due to the JonTron controversy. Mod input would be appreciated.
burner accounts out in force today
I'll admit that I usually don't follow who review bombs who and why, but I find that extremely unlikely. There's going to be "Racist! etc etc" reviews for sure.Again, the people who would have a problem with the game over something like this generally aren't the people who review bomb.
That's a weak comparison, considering that dude was fired, there's a much stronger personal/public connection between a voice actor and the resulting body of work, and someone else can unquestionably provide a drop-in replacement for recorded dialogue.A Google employee outed himself as a racist. I really hope Google deleted and rewrote all of his code, or I'm never using Google products again!
Oh, we're doing this again? Can't say I envy Gears for Breakfast; there's no way out of this in a way that pleases everyone. Except maybe if Jon himself would ask to be removed, but it's probably too late for even that to not upset people.
I wasn't even aware he was in the game, tbh.I also don't mind him still being in, but that's neither here nor there.
Google publicly fired that guy.
I mean, they fired him.
What is your point?

How hard is not to have prejudice against others?I dearly hope a lot of people in this thread don't say something stupid in their lives then are forced to be held accountable for it for the rest of their days
I really doubt that since he has mentioned in the past as well as tweeted that he isn't white.

Why is this guy voicing characters in kickstarter games anyway? Honestly, Games for Breakfast should've seen this from a mile away and should've removed this guy's voice from the game long ago.
He's a very bad voice actor. You'd recognize him.
That's a photoshop... at least give proper proof

It wasn't hard for Playtonic.
Just an FYI, you can PM mods to ask this question, When there's issues with threads at least one of them has mentioned that people can do that.Reposting for new page, because input on the GAF issue that comes out of this is needed.
The game does indeed look great.
I preordered it months ago.
It is a great game - I played the Beta.
But I can't simply shrug and look away from this because 'the game looks great'.
Never watched a Roman Polanski film or understand what he has to do with a thread on a eugenics spouting racist in gaming ?Those of you who have watched any Roman Polanski movie since 1977, or The Naked Gun any time since 1994, please raise your hands. Now would you kindly make your way outside and stop being hypocrites.
Gears for Breakfast has clearly put a lot of heart and soul in to this game, let's not let JonTron ruin that. Let's just mute the volume every time his voice comes on instead.
Where outright racism is tolerated and being a mindless consumer whore is considered a virtue.I read posts like this and my mind just comes back to the question:But guys why is gaming still uncool?
