Tanking your company's reputation and relationship with partners for the retweets.
I mean that's what 8chan is about. That's what they are known for. I mean hell they are blacklisted from google for that very reason.
And hey: Good look PR guy with the hate that is coming from that crowd that you tried to pander to.
You fucked yourself twice

Dril is an Infamous Twitter shit poster, the joke is that he is supposedly walking back a tweet where he said "you gotta hand it to ISIL"

What's confusing is how did he think it was going to turn out? Run an official company AMA on 8chan, get a bunch of congratulatory emails and assume that the rest of the internet would be like, "Awesome, kool!" *high five*
Also, lolz at someone in marketing using the 'i didnt research, I didn't know' when even google got hit via youtube advert pull last week..PR is YOUR fucking job dude!

True, but I don't think holding AMA on a website that actively host pedo stuff is a funny timeline.
Every employee? No. Several employees in the marketing department? Yes.
I agree. You don't just come back from this with a bullshit apology.
To be this ignorant and in his position within the company? FFS.
Which really, should be a red flag for anyone trying to research if a website would be a good place to host an AMA.
Maybe DON'T host your AMA on a website NO ONE CAN GOOGLE!
Look at mister two hundred over there lmao, what a smart boy you are
1 week for this lmao, get fucking real gaming side.
Not all publicity is good publicity. Especially when it compromises the future of your company.
Absolutely not, but there's no way he ran off and did this without anybody else knowing about it. Otherwise he'd be the worst Marketing Director ever.
admitting to know that there is 'nasty stuff' on the website. Fucking 8chan of all places, how fucking dumb are they.
This definitely feels like a blunder by the entire marketing department and one guy is being assigned the blame.
It's great PR if you're intending to piss off literally all of your business partners as well as people that would otherwise have been interested in your games.
THQ Nordic has the Nickelodeon license. They did an AMA on a site for child porn. They'll be lucky if Viacom doesn't rip open the fabric of reality when they tear them a new asshole.
I believe they're referring to a GAF moderator who was arrested for a similar controversy.
ERA was formed largely as a GAF exodus, but for a different and much later incident.
Yeah, and being marketing director, he could just ignore other people's warnings about this (if there were any, but i really doubt that an entire team of a big company would put up with this shit). Well, at least i want to believe that.
Everyone's talking about Michael Cohen and his ass is still going to jail
Actually he is an active member. He even posted in another thread I was browsing an hour ago.
Hey THQ Nordic, if you're looking for a new PR director, I can send you my resume and cover letter. I actually google proposed relationships and am not out of touch.
All publicity is good publicity doesn't apply when people are talking because you are now associated with child pornography.
If you google 8chan, you find a WIKIPEDIA entry looking like this:
let's not pretend you're getting "uhm, couldn't find the site, sorry, you should be fine"
Probably, interesting to see what will happen now though.
Yeah, this needs to stay highlighted. There were at least several people completely willing to participate in this bullshit.Also THQN Philipp:
So were the posts by Reinhard fake, or was he involved with this?
Because if he went to that site and still chose to engage, this is not the case of just one guy making a mistake. You don't just wind up at a Klan rally and decide you're going to hand out refreshments like you'd planned for the concert.

You should talk about your love child porn at your job. All that attention will rocket you up the corporate ladder!
lol it's dril, the best twitter account in the world
seriously, so many of his tweets are absolute classics, and he's kept up his quality for so so long. it's seriously impressive
