    Oasis Games is a publisher, not the developer. It's developed by Hexa Drive / Sony to some extent (I dunno what extent, the copyrights always just say "Developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment" - it's confusing).

    THQ Nordic is just the retail distributor / publisher in the west.

    Thanks for clearing that up. With so many developers/publishers involved, I wasn't sure who was doing what.

    Don't forget about all the things you're supporting when you consider any THQ Nordic games.

    Here's a helpful summary post of all the events for the uninitiated.

    Mod statement: "To address a few recurring points: We will not be banning games published by THQ Nordic and subsidiaries like Deep Silver. You are instead welcome to continue raising the issue in threads relevant to the publisher and its games."

    If you use Steam and want to ignore all games that THQ Nordic publishes, go to their publisher page while you're logged in, then click on the little gear icon below where it says "Beta" and choose "Ignore this creator."
    _______________________________________________________________

    These games are being published by THQ Nordic. For those who may not be aware or who may have forgotten, THQ Nordic had a marketing effort where it intended to gain attention using a website that is known primarily for its support of child pornography, as well as for support of Neo-Nazism, doxxing, and other extremely damaging behaviors.

    THQ Nordic's provided no response to this fiasco except for an apology claiming they did not do enough research. As the website is unlisted by Google, they had spoken to the board owner about removing "nasty stuff", and content was viewable both before and during the campaign, this claim is beyond belief. The individuals responsible are known not to be rogue PR interns, but go up to THQ Nordic's board. THQ Nordic has not dealt with the individuals responsible, and they released an embarrassingly bad "apology" that addressed nothing.

    Consider that by supporting their games, you are supporting a publisher that is complicit with child pornography.

    I wonder why Sony has chosen to partner with THQ Nordic on this. I thought since all that stuff blew up earlier this year we'd have seen a little more caution being exercised. Looks like they're distributing Pillars Deadfire for Obsidian too.

    These deals might have been in place before the AMA.

    Also consider most corporations don't care unless something is currently trending. The AMA is old news, almost everyone has moved on, so they don't face significant risk or blowback from partnering with Nordic.
