I roll my eyes every time someone refers to themselves as an egalitarian and not a feminist.
Tim Soret and this game are a joke.

I wonder if IGN has been called out on it yet.
Sigh...what a terrible world we have right now. The next generation is going to have it rough if we don't step up and lead by example.I doubt gamers will care, honestly. Pewdiepie and JonTron are still thriving. And feminism sucks is a lot easier for bigots to defend than straight up white supremacy.
Oh it got everyone's attention all right.
Yeah, why try to do anything good or morally upstanding, when all of us are partially complicit in the evils of modern capitalism?If the game tells it's story in an interesting way I'm happy to give it a shot. That doesn't mean I necessarily agree with the reality of the premise on which it's created.
Every day you - yes you - consume products created through the exploitation of, and cruelty to, people, animals and our planet. Why draw the line with a guy who had some shitty ideas?
97 posts in this thread just totally passed them by
We really gonna act like people don't post in threads without reading them.

What exactly is your insinuation here? Are we supposed to be attacking (or "calling out") Mr. McAffrey for doing his job and being excited about an upcoming videogame?

I can't tell if you're being serious or not...
Dear god Ryan there's a reason it's not getting RTs.
How can somebody be so oblivious to this?
The last bit(and his follow up post) are damning, but complaining someone is trying to be slick because they went straight to reply isn't really evidence when people do it all the time here.
I'm not even intending to defend a specific poster. I'm just not a fan of the mob mentality that says 'This person isn't aware this game was made by an asshole! Clearly, they are also an asshole!'.
A lot of people hated Phil Fish but did that stop people playing the amazing game Fez?
The phone or laptop you typed this reply on was made in a factory that workers have thrown themselves off the roof of because of the way they're exploited.Yeah, why try to do anything good or morally upstanding, when all of us are partially complicit in the evils of modern capitalism?

Why are you happy to support Apple, Samsung or whoever else who have literally driven people to kill themselves but this is a bridge too far?
And people shitting in IGN? Really? Are people going to bitch out Netflix for streaming Miramax movies now?
you can't seriously be comparing phil fish to tim soret
and in the end phil fish antics did harm to him, not others
Yes it did.. but people ultimately enjoyed the game..
I am sure many will enjoy the hell out of last night.

At least have some semblance of perspective.I mean, why even try being a good person at all. Right? Right?

This game is significantly different circumstances. It has gamergate views built right into the narrative.The phone or laptop you typed this reply on was made in a factory that workers have thrown themselves off the roof of because of the way they're exploited.

Animal cruelty, human exploitation and destroying our planet = A-OK.
Someone with shitty views about feminism = I hope his career is ruined and he rots in hell

why does it upset you that people decide to not buy something so much that you're trying to call them out for being hypocrites? i have to buy gas from someone. if i can avoid adding "the last night" to the list of things i've bought from shitty people, why not?
And many will have to deal with all the gamergate harassment it will inspire. HURRAY VIDEO GAMES!
Bullshit. Closing your eyes and ears to contrary opinions is not the way forward.This is not the same thing. And in all honesty any Miramax movies Weinstein had personal hands in should be obscured or removed from views.
IGN should have done the research before trying to promote this game. It has a clear negative spiel that needs to be looked at and rejected.
This strawman gets destroyed every time people decide to protest something. Please stop wasting everyone's time.If the game tells it's story in an interesting way I'm happy to give it a shot. That doesn't mean I necessarily agree with the reality of the premise on which it's created.

Ugh
Do you realize humans are capable of being concerned with all that?Animal cruelty, human exploitation and destroying our planet = A-OK.

I know many innocent gamers that simply enjoy video games and have 0 idea pertaining to gamergate or the antics of the creator.
Game looks incredible. Too bad it's not on Playstation.
Game looks amazing
Looks amazing,It is a Xbox exclusive?
Who's stopping you?
the game looks gorgeous, I will keep an eye on it
Awesome.
Game looks awesome. Can't wait!
Yeah, I'm still looking forward to this. I'll wait for reviews and impressions, but it is definitely on my radar. Looks too damn good.
People commenting this is a bad look for IGN are overestimating the amount of people that know of and/or care about the controversy.
I'm just on the second page but what the fuck? I'm the last person who would advocate for witch hunts and one of the first who takes issue with the increasingly binary nature of the discussions on this site, especially in OT, but you just have to read this tweet of the dev:Sorry I don't get some moral upbringing trash talking the game. I'm gonna buy it because I want to experience the world the devs made, as it looks incredible.

I don't support this game's supposed message. But I'm happy to explore it even if it means at the end of the game I sit back and say "well that was fucking dumb"
do you remember what fez was about? honest question
i'm sure people will enjoy last night, and it will be a terrible thing
Game looks incredible. Too bad
it's not on Playstation
I'm not defending the game itself insofar as I'm defending it's right to exist, be covered by media, and for people to express interest in it without be slandered outright.

Someone is actually defending this game using an argument like this.
Wow.
