User banned (2 weeks): trolling, ignoring mod post, account in junior phase
The overreaction to that AMA is honestly so corny.
People who want to discuss just about game don't say you can't talk about THQ AMA. They just say to use one of the FOUR previous thread.
Buying it used?Yeah look fuck THQ and stuff, but I'm absolutely buying this.
I can't believe they did it the madmen!
This game was my jam as a kid.
It was basically Super Mario 64 but with Spongebob.
True.Not even a couple, there whole pr department and one of there top shareholders were in on it
I have mentioned a few times that I think a good solution might be putting a "master post" summary at the foot of every THQN OP. That way every thread guarantees exposure of their shitty AMA and the thread itself can be used for discussion of whatever game it was aboutI've gotta say, I do think the mod guidelines have worked out well here. The discussion seems solid. Making it clear that people are welcome to talk about the game without being personally attacked, but spelling out that the publisher's past actions are a valid concern seems to have set up useful guardrails.
It makes it pretty easy to "smell" the trolls, when someone just complains about someone reacting to the AMA, or goes out of their way to attack someone for even broaching the topic or discussing the game.
No? Literally preordering. This is my dream game
So uh, Nickelodeon's a-ok with associating with known shitlords?
Because I find the sentiment of "Fuck THQ" rings super hollow when they're so willing to fork over cash to the pub for a 10 year old game, as seen below, rather than sating their desire with a used copy, where THQN gets nothing.What a great choice for a remaster, we need remasters of more good licensed games.
Timesplitters 2 next THQ Nordic PLEASE
why does it matter to you how they buy it
Shame :/
Wasn't part of the mod guidelines literally about the fact that talking down to those who choose not to take part in a boycott was a no no?Because I find the sentiment of "Fuck THQ" rings super hollow when they're so willing to fork over cash for a 10 year old game, as seen below.

Get off your high horse and stop judging people who make their own choices mate
That's a really good idea. I'd pay a high price if 100% of my money to a charity and get the opportunity to put a spotlight on what THQN did.Honestly the best way is probably to get it off a humble thing and set all the money to go to charity if you're going to do it that way.
There's nothing wrong with stating I don't necessarily approve of what THQ did yet not also boycotting them.It doesn't say you can't be criticized when you willingly post "fuck THQ" and then immediate follow up with "I'm preordering this game".
Someone is pointing out the hypocrisy of your own posts.
AgreedYeah.
I don't understand why Colin Moriarty's content is banned but everything relating to THQ Nordic isn't. It only seems sensible to ban them from discussion as well.
That's an interesting way to frame the context. When your ban is over care to explain why being known as gatekeepers of jank valid but being known for doing dangerous activity like swatting and child porn peddling is not?What does being abused have to do with THQ Nordic? They did an AMA on 8chan because its similar to /v/ except the posts on there last a lot longer, they used it because the audience are known to be gatekeepers to Eurojank games.
Man people really should learn the difference between 4chan and 8chan.What does being abused have to do with THQ Nordic? They did an AMA on 8chan because its similar to /v/ except the posts on there last a lot longer, they used it because the audience are known to be gatekeepers to Eurojank games.

I don't think anyone still buying the games approves of the AMA.
Oh shit, had no idea what this is about and no interest in this. I love platformers so I'm definitely going to keep an eye out for this. If this is anywhere similar to Mario64 or other old school platformers its a day 1 buy from meThis game was my jam as a kid.
It was basically Super Mario 64 but with Spongebob.
You don't fuck with 8chan. It's a cesspit with no redeeming elements. Part of me hopes the morons who did the AMA didn't realise the difference either but not sure they deserve the benefit of the doubt
Man, If every THQ thread is going to look like this It's best to either ban THQ's games here or ban the 8chan derail in every THQ thread.
This bannable too just letting ya knowMan, If every THQ thread is going to look like this It's best to either ban THQ's games here or ban the 8chan derail in every THQ thread.

It'll happen again tomorrow and the day after as the two other games get announced. See it as a sort of spring cleaning of the forums. Though it does stifle the discussion of the game announcement so it really should just be banned altogether since no one is getting much discussion out of them anyway.Man, If every THQ thread is going to look like this It's best to either ban THQ's games here or ban the 8chan derail in every THQ thread.

Or people can just choose which comments they want to respond to. No one is forced to respond to comments they don't like. The full mod post makes clear that no one can be called out by others for choosing which aspect of this they want to discuss. For example, I'm excited to see a Spongebob revival, so from this point on, I'll only be commenting on the actual game.
What a great choice for a remaster, we need remasters of more good licensed games.
