Wow, didn't even think of this.
Keep in mind that the sales of that t-shirt was shared from one individual employee's personal twitter account and was never shared or advertised by any of the companies social media accounts. The amount of money they would have made for charity would have been an absolute pittance since they didn't care enough to risk angering their alt-right fans
What exactly do you want the mods to do? You can't make people engage others, or post in threads they don't want to post in. The mods are doing the right thing, they are ensuring that people aren't actively trying to insult or belittle anyone, and allowing threads like this one to exist and also not sanitizing the OT of these controversial games from rightful criticism. but if you're saying people ignoring this thread while posting in other thread is silencing people? That... no. Me not replying to your post in an OT about a game is not me silencing you, its me being respectful of your viewpoint and what you're saying. Now if I came into this thread and posted some shit about how awesome the game is or something, that's 100% different. But you can't force people to engage with people if they don't want to.
There were concerns over this with The Witcher 3, not specifically with racism but more the lack of representation, and people sorta just ignored it because they said "well it's accurate to the books that pretty much everyone is white."
Yeah they're just actively ignoring it. Was waiting for a "can't we just talk about the game" post.
True, but its also not the communities duty to keep informing people and keep educating all the time.
I honestly had to laugh though :) 8 minutes of nothing, then "..so about this map..!" :D
We're reading. Bear with us; it's still currently in the workday in the US, and not everyone we want to discuss things with is available. We can't do a full blanket ban on the game or OT, but we can look into ways to curb the number of Cyberpunk threads that will exist before and after launch.
There won't be a custom logo for this game, that I can promise.
We are planning a staff post for the start of the OT, and a reply banner as needed. As for charities, this is something we'll look into. We can't force people to engage, unfortunately, but we can make the topic impossible to miss.
I can't remember off the top of my head every post we've ever put out, but I'm pretty sure this isn't the first time we've fielded questions on or spoken about the game. We encouraged the creation of this thread and were considering making one like it ourselves before Kyuuji stepped up. We believe there's going to be another one taking a critical look at the contents of the game after its released, and that's also a good thing.
I mean tbh, posting this doesn't help at all. If you are lurking the thread, but don't agree or don't want to actually discuss the main issue of the thread, it's not going to help move the discussion.
Why not?
Thank you for replying Sophia, I do appreciate that you will actively try and reduce the amount of threads though I am disappointed that they will continue to be given a platform here.
It is feasible. At the very least the OT should be closed for one day on the 20th.
