I use wishlist mainly to remember games I need to buy once Ive done with some of the games I already own.
Im hoping to god it's this. I remember friends playing that game in school. I don't see why theyd hide supposed WP gestures like that in there.
Same. 118 games I want to remember later on
Ayy, perfect, a shit list of publishers I can keep track of.
Exactly.
Wishlists and sales make me buy games I otherwise wouldn't buy, not the other way around.
Yeah I know, but when newspapers picks up the symbol as a hate symbol, maybe you shouldn't use it, especially not when your parent company is in hot shit for doing AMAs on websites where the first reply was "Heil Hitler".
True Tho I think this trailer was done before the whole happened and it landed on the wrong time
Just gonna stir a little bit of shit up since I just read that the newspapers in Sweden said that Brenton Tarrant, the NZ mosque killer, showed a white-power symbol, the OK sign (which might not even be a WP symbol??, but the newspapers in Sweden, where Coffee Stain resides actually reports that it is) However in Satisfactorys latest trailer, this shows up.
I guess it just was a dumb joke but after what hell THQ has gone through, how could they ever think this was smart.
The OK sign has been co-opted by the alt-right. It is especially egregious because white nationalists like to hold it down low to "hide" it.

when i saw this on release i was wondering wtf they were they trying to say
You are right about that, however the gesture wasn't made a white-power symbol overnight. I just think it was really dumb of them to even use it there and eh.
Yeah, I understand that it has been defiled by the alt-right. So if the parent company is in hot water for using alt-right/nazi websites, why even having that symbol in the trailer? Best way would be to totally scrub anything that can be attached to the problems that they are already facing?
I mean. It either means "lol just a joke." or it could mean something on the team is using it as an alt-right dogwhistle.
I've never even seen the a ok symbol used in real life so at this point I consider it long lost
I did see it alot i hated it already cuz i got pranked by it so many times
That OK sign is commonly used among underwater divers and the trailer seems to delibaretly present the jetpack guy as if he was swimming and has a diving suit?
Seems like that could just be it, but i also might be overthinking the trailer.
Regardless, even if the sign has been co-opted, that doesn't mean everyone using it is aware and alt-right.
Even if THQ Nordic doesn't deserve any benefit of doubt.

I'm surprised you have time to do anything with all those Epic threads popping up!
Wouldn't divers show it in the front, not hidden near the legs?
Urghhh...I'd be very surprised if this isn't alt-right reference. No one use this gesture as an "ok" anymore.Just gonna stir a little bit of shit up since I just read that the newspapers in Sweden said that Brenton Tarrant, the NZ mosque killer, showed a white-power symbol, the OK sign (which might not even be a WP symbol??, but the newspapers in Sweden, where Coffee Stain resides actually reports that it is) However in Satisfactorys latest trailer, this shows up.

"It would be unfortunate if something happened to your favorite key store." - Tim Sweeney, 2019.
I guess that'd depend on whom they're showing it to?
But there is no one behind him i suppose so...
I think that hand sign was a meme for a bit, in reference to the old "if I trick you into looking at it then I can punch you" trick. It was kind of a bait and switch meme, but it was a couple of years ago or so. I'm not familiar enough with Coffee Stain Studios to know if they're the type to insert covert white-supremacy symbolism into their trailers. It's a bad look in relation to the recent stuff with THQ in any case.
We did this when I was in high school about 10 years ago..
I think this Satisfactory trailer stuff is over-analyszing it a bit.
I did that, too!
I did that, too!
Although, the dude from the exclusive video looks more like left/punkDefinitely weird, especially with that golden reflection to draw attention to the left hand gesture.
In hindsight is amazing how many childhood/teenage rituals revolved around being able to punch each other without reprisal (on the first of the month, whenever your see a yellow car, etc.).
The 4chan meme prank is from 2017, so this hand gesture had no white-power meaning whatsoever 10 years ago.

Actually:
We cannot bite into every 4chan-based misuse of common stuff, otherwise:
I could not find any reference in the trailers to milk drinking or polar bears.

*technically* it's not an official seller, but they are trustworthy.
They are the most legit of all the grey market websites. They mostly just resell keys found on boxed copies found in cheaper regions. I have no problems buying from them, and would never buy from somewhere like G2A.
