Echoing what I said in the other thread, immortalising the guy in the base game and donating a flat percentage of sales to the family would have been the safest bet here.
They need to put out some sort of clarification on which sales actually go to the family instead of hiding it away in the small print, and also the reasoning behind why the profits are split the way they are.
Explain it straight up, and point customers in non-applicable regions to a separate donation avenue like the YouCaring link in the OP.
If you want to go straight to maximum cynicism you can of course argue that they didn't/won't do that because it would hurt sales of the DLC.
Maybe, but until this plays out and they either say something or don't, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. Their DLC practices are disgusting, but profiting off the back of a dead colleague is on another level entirely.
Don't see any lying here. Just people like Totalbiscuit digging into details for the sake of clicks on his own channel. Gotta have a new outrage to make that ad money amiright.
Did you watch the video? He makes it very clear that outrage isn't the goal here and should be avoided in favour of calm discourse because it's a sensitive subject.
WB and Shadow have been the whipping boys for a few months now and doing something nice isn't gonna change the haters.
I don't think it's quite so binary. I'm happy to jump on WB for blatantly scummy practices, but some pause for thought is appropriate when it involves something so morally and ethically serious as profiting from the deceased.
