Alternatively, there could just be a rule that every THQ-related OP needs to have a disclaimer informing people of the 8chan situation but, in return, nobody is allowed to mention or discuss it in the rest of the thread (unless the thread is actually about the incident). That way you stop threads being littered with these kinds of posts without pissing off the people who want to inform others about what happened.
Dude, I wish they dealt with that situation or even reacted to it, but I need some kind of proof that the money I give to THQ is going to directly harm somebody for that comparison to work. The guy did some fucked up shit, but later disavowed his actions and what 8chan stands for, so unless something else arises I don't see supporting these separate acquired developers as remotely similar to your example.
There whole PR department and one of there top shareholders were on board for that ama
Is it also going to make you boycott every living individual who worked their asses off to make the video game they wanted to? Ultimately the incident you mention was done by two idiots at the top of the publisher and they're only responsible for this product insofar as the publishing apparatus of the rest of their company is concerned. And okay I guess maybe more were invovled as some above posters suggest. Does that still mean the 100s of developers underneath them approved? I respect the decision but I don't find it entirely fair to all the developers who unfortunately got caught underneath that debacle.
Everyone knows. Fuck off somewhere else if you're not interested.
Or you could've just ignored that post and not brought any attention to it rather than getting weirdly antagonistic.
Yeah, this isn't the hill to die on. You make me want to post more about thq actually, considering how much it seems like it's fans are trying to shut down discussion. Thanks!
He's ignored now, but it obviously took up the focus of the thread (again) as I read through the comments.
I'm with you. The career of every person who worked on the game needs to be destroyed - maybe even their families put in jeopardy too. Can we get a Twitter hashtag started for that?
Unfortunately it's a package deal. You have to boycott both or neither.
It wouldn't have become the focus if people didn't feel the need to quote posts like that and complain about them. It's not difficult to ignore posts that you're not interested in, if people did that then the threads wouldn't get derailed and the reminder posts would still exist to remind people who maybe aren't aware of the situation with THQ.
Ok, and I'm sure they all high fived each other for being shitlords at the time. What I'm referring to is the comparison that this ridiculously stupid action has to actively harming the an entire community like the Chik Fil A thing. They apologized for their actions and condemned what that forum stands for, unless they start actively doing evil shit past that the comparison is off.
Yea there we didn't know a site blacklisted by Google was a bad place to host an Ama apology was real convincing
Lol as if people informing people about shitty THQN is what's making the discussion bad.
Actually this is the only place i see that still has every THQ thread derailed in one place or another. Other forums/communities not so much.
Lol of course not. Restricting discussion of this would be absolutely disgusting. THQN made themselves fair game with what they did, much like the WWE. You can ignore that aspect of discussion if you like. If discussion of the game is derailed with some people, oh well.
And the apology failed to address what 8chan is all about, failed to result in any consequences for the people involved who supported that site with full awareness, and continued to like pro-8chan Twitter posts.
Yeah, this is pretty much my stance. I can acknowledge that THQN's PR team fucked up, and active tried to market their content to a community founded on hate speech and harassment. But acting like that's representative of the entire company's stance is disingenuous, and there's no evidence of deeper ties to these communities.
Feels like there's been large breaks in between its showings.
Yeah, it doesn't look great. The character editor looks good, at least.
The narrator is what is ruining it for me. Hopefully there is an option to mutr or they can make it context sensitive by only being at the beginning of chapters, before important scenarios and such. God if I have to listen to that the whole game, it's a deal breaker.
