I mean Cards Against Humanity is the quintessential edgelord humor game so this is like the least surprising thing.

Anyone who ran into these guys at gaming conventions in the early days of the game would not be surprised.

This seems pretty obvious. We used to play this game in group therapy and sometimes it got extremely awkward.

Is it THAT surprising? I mean the quoted things are pretty damn messed up though. I guess I did assume along with others that the humor was self aware but sometimes even the boss sips the coolaid

I recall something about Max Tempkin being a shit lord from years ago also?

Unsurprising.

I'm....actually not surprised. This card game never was for me.

Still its devastating to see how the employees suffered in various ways.

He developed a card game that allows people to be racist pieces of shit themselves but it's okay because it's "funny"

I liked it at the time but its novelty wore off.

It's also a game that quite honestly grows old after maybe 2 or 3 parties where you play it. Once you hit all the punchlines and exhaust the "shock value" there's like zero reason to play it anymore.

I never heard about the accusations leveled against him before but this is all disgusting shit. As someone who owns a nearly complete set of the game, I'm seriously considering junking it.

Hell, there were some cards that I outright tossed when I'd discover them while playing because they were just blatantly racist or transphobic. Granted, I never felt a financial loss as I received them all as gifts but I definitley backed off of the game for game nights once I realized just how many cards went from being "gross" to gross. Sign me up for a game of werewolf over stuff like CAH any day of the week.

Exactly. I didn't want to play it anymore after playing it with my girlfriends grandparents and having her grandmother read the pac man guzzling cum one.

Haven't played since.

This was a poorly kept secret, yes.

The is a reason why the first edition is so so so much more vile than the subsequent editions.

My favorite version of the game was a friend of mine would just take out all the shitty "shock" value, "I'm not racist/sexist/homophobic, etc, but..." cards

Good, now I have a reason to not play that piece of shit excuse for a game besides the fact that it straight-up sucks as a game.

Huh. I didn't know much about him, honestly, but I know he did a podcast for a while with one of my favorite authors, Pat Rothfuss, and it was always really interesting and fun to listen to. Sad to hear, and I wonder what Pat's thoughts would be about this.

Lol, come on, that game is a pressure valve for people to be POS in a controlled environment.

How can people like this shit.

Makes sense, people that gravitate around this game seem to be a certain type.
