Pretty lame that Dark Souls Remastered didn't include an auto hide hud setting that 2 and up have had.
It's mind blowing that people still think this. THQ was literally disolved and everything they owned sold off to paid debts. They no longer exist, they didn't come crawl back from death, they are long gone.
There's this European company called Nordic, known for publishing tons and tons of shovelware over the years. They bought many of the THQ properties and then rebranded themselves after the latter. They are the company that just keeps buying tons of minor/obscure IPs and studios without a proper plan on what to do with them. They are the company that put out a port of a Nintendo DS game on the PS4 that managed to run worse than on the original ARM CPU from the early 00's. They are the company that put out Darksiders 3 and some awful remakes of the originals. And now they are doing an AMA on 8chan.
But I guess that's the power of a name. They are called THQ Nordic, and someone who doesn't pay enough attention will think they are the old THQ from back when.
Because those few include important people at the company, like Reinhard Pollice. It's not just lowly employees.As someone who used to work for THQ thank you lol.
Also why the extreme backlash towards the whole company for the actions of a few? Just curious.
Titles mean not as much as you think these days. It's kind of like going the district manager at McDonalds sucks so all the employees are trash too. I doubt the entire company and clients they have as developers who are even further removed voted on it lol.
To be fair my bosses would have no idea what that that site meant. Means nothing to them.
Seems like someone messed up , thought they were being hip then the company has to decide to throw that person over the boat ala Orth or release a shutdown statement ala Satya (hololens petition) . Either way it's damage control time.
Every company has a few people who somehow get in PR and marketing roles and they just do not represent the majority at all. It's super frustrating for the majority who are just trying to do their job.

I read this comment regarding nisa almost every friggin year since 2017 and we still see games from them on steam.
The "few" being the marketing director and the business and development director (basically the GM)... and you can't see why it's a big deal?As someone who used to work for THQ thank you lol.

If you can find them, they are in your Steam folder (or just transfer the entire folder)Is there anyway to locally backup workshop mods so I don't have to download them on my uni computer?

You don't think it's a big deal that the person who runs the business makes a joking reply to a "Cease Your Faggotry" meme saying that it could be something out of one of their upcoming games? You don't think it's a big deal that they show up to a place that openly promotes child pornography, get greeted by "Heil Hitler!", get buffeted by racist and homophobic slurs and continue to engage and jest like they fit in just fine? You don't think it's a big deal when the person responsible for the entire company's PR vows to keep "social justice" messaging out of their games? You don't think it's a big deal that they knowingly promote and engage a place like that and then meekly lie about it and try to deny responsibility (without taking any steps to actually undo any damage they've caused)?
What exactly do you envision as our motivation for looking past all this? For the games?
I was thinking this too. Tomorrow hundreds of Devs and other THQN employees have to go to work with that over their heads. Can't be funAs someone who used to work for THQ thank you lol.

Just sent my March recommendation for Outward.
Hopefully it'll stay on Steam.
Melee is dead! God is real and she's in the FGC. Finally, we can breathe easier.
In the new podcast, Galyonkin said that in the spring, Steam fans will be on rage.
So another triple a game getting moneyhatted weeks before release?
Fuck this piece of shit company tbh
Which games could it be, sekiro?
Anno, mortal kombat and total war three kingdoms are possibilities too
Maybe he just means that Epic Game Store will finally add more features to make it a better Steam competitor, thus making Steam fans angry
"Making fans of my competitor platform angry" feels like some 90s videogame PR shit.
THQ Nordic seems just fine with it (since a lot of high ranking people outside of PR also joined in on the 8chan AMA ). The kind of talk they had there, just by the few screencaps I have seen, makes Galyonkin look like a saint.Yeah, seems very amateurish of him, and tbh there's few (or no) other industries where that kind of talk by a senior businessman would be tolerated within the company itself.

Id suggest waiting until after that event od theirs ends then see what they announce.
We'll see how pissing off pc gamers will help Epic's Store becoming successful.

The CEO is also surprisingly chill with having his subsidiary, which he pumped millions of Euroes into, associating itself with a site known for hosting child pornography.
That might faze me at least a little, but I guess Lars Wingefors might just a have different view on this.
In the QA it was a guy in the board of the company and the PR manager. And it seems that it was a decision that was accepted by the whole PR department. A mess of this level is not below the pay grade of the CEO because two high level employees of his company used his company name in a website that is not shown by Google due to its content. The whole mess can easily fuck off any long term relationship with many IP holders (such as Nickelodeon) or distribution partnerships (such as publishing the physical games for MS games outside of XBox).From what I saw it was like two people. Honestly I figure the CEO probably considers this below his pay grade and is just annoyed at having to comment on an employee being an asshole on the internet/real life. Which I agree isn't a good look for the CEO, but I'll see how it develops considering it basically only just happened.
