Normalposting
It's not derailed tho
None of the recent Shenmue III threads have had this happen so this is quite the reach
Yikes, somehow I had missed all of that. Fuck em, I won't give them any of my money.
Didn't know they did a plague tale
alil yea but shenmue threads get so lil traffic even on here it's you don't notice most ppl in a shenmue thread are the hardcore I can't wait ppl
yeah i worded this a bit clumsily. what i mean is just post on topic (in the case of discussion about shenmue 3) and engage with others that stay on topic. i don't mind people pointing out thq's shitty things at all. stupidity of that level certainly deserves call out, but i can also have an on topic discussion about their stuff without always engaging in the discussion about the 8chan disaster
I feel that Shenmue 3 being associated isn't quite common knowledge just yet, but it will get there the closer the release gets i'm sure.
This post should be made into a threadmark.
Needless to say, I won't buy anything from THQ Nordic after the support they have shown to a child pornography website.
Fuck THQ Noridic and their games.
They made it full well clear where they stand and I will not stand idly by and support them nor will I be quiet about it either.
The sheer fact that the video game industry and the gaming journalist just shrugged their shoulders and went meh are just as bad.

That's understandable and I can imagine there will alway be those who want to voice their disgust for THQN. People interested in Shenmue 3 will discuss it regardless.
Sadly, sexist swat campaign supporters making announcements have competition with a company bringing console exclusivity tactics to PC gaming. We'll see which one makes gamers rise up more.
THQ and Epic Games have shit the bed.
I don't even recall games related to EA getting this vitriol and that distinction is justified.
add this bit! "Everyone is welcome to criticize THQ Nordiq for any past mistakes, but do not make accusations against your fellow community members simply because they are still interested in discussing their products or announcements. Any further posts doing so may be subject to moderation. " and i am game
A Plague Tale: Innocence is published by Focus Home Interactive, which is an independent publisher, is it not?
Thank you so much for taking that stance mods. It's reassuring to know that people interested in games released Nordic and the companies they own (which is a massive number of titles if you look at European publishing through Deep Silver) can actually discuss and talk about them here now and in the future without running the constant risk of getting thrown ad hominems at them just for wanting to discuss said games.
This is very much needed as well.

Koch Media, owned by THQ Nordic, is publishing the retail version of the game. They also take care of the marketing.
User banned (5 days): Trolling, dismissing valid criticisms with disingenuous comparisons, engaging in backseat moderation.
We need a solution to this to be honest. Can't we just make sure that there is a segment dedicated in the op of every THQN related post about the whole affair to inform those unaware, and at the same time let the people who want to talk about the games/don't care do so in the thread itself?
This is supposed to be a dedicated gaming forum after all, and threads like these were after all partly what gave neogaf it's bad reputation as a hostile and unfriendly place, and isn't avoiding Gaf's mistakes one of era's major goals?

meh i dunno. people should be free to call out thq imo. is it really so hard to ignore these comments and just engage with the ontopic people?
Getting a seat on the board of directors is partially based on social connections. You still have to secure a vote in a publicly traded company but the way these votes are collected you can barely call the system democratic.
The next time a revote has to be done he still won't be removed in that manner even if there were shareholder activists making noise for various reasons. There has to be an observable material lost in wealth to force THQ to remove those 2 people in high leadership positions.
I wonder if the remake is gonna be of destroy all humans? They bought up that franchise didn't they?
New timesplitters seems long overdue but I wonder if a new timesplitters would be good. Is any creative person that worked on the old games even among the possible developers that could make a new Timesplitters
Are you unfree to talk about the games here, or are you simply unfree to do without also seeing discussion of the publisher? I'm not sure we should be providing a safe space where you don't have to think about who you're supporting.
Ultimately, the root of the problem here is THQ Nordic. They did the best of their fans a disservice when they looked at a den of Neo-Nazi terrorism and child abuse and said "that's our target audience, let's talk to them."
Just so you know, you need to avoid games released in Europe by all of these publishers:
- Atlus
- Bethesda
- Capcom
- SEGA
- Microsoft
- Paradox
- Koei Tecmo
- Focus Home Interactive
- Codemasters
- NIS America
- Spike Chunsoft
- Square Enix
on top of the companies that Koch Media partnered with on a single game basis, such as Yu Suzuki's studio for Shenmue 3.
What "market" are you catering to who looks at "yo they hosted an event with a child pornography website" and says "oh boy I better buy their games!"?
No one's stopping you from talking about the games. We have the right to also talk about the publishers actions
This isn't really a gaming forum in the pure sense, it's very much social and politically driven with a dash of gaming enthusiasm as well. I agree with your sentiment but saying as such gets you on the list of 'no politics in muh gamez' and so forth. You kind of can't just come here for the hobby part which i'd say is obvious when people won't even click a Youtube video unless someone verifies they have a totally clean record. Era ultimately has a good agenda, it just also means you can't just focus on the content when interfacing with the community.
well, then i guess i will save a ton of money in the future (not really, since all of those above really dont make games i want to play/buy).
OP
OP
A Plague Tale: Innocence has the same connection to THQ Nordic as Kingdom Hearts III and Resident Evil 2: physical distribution in Europe.
People are gonna miss out on a lot of games if they really stick to their boycott lol
I dunno man, Devolver Digital is somehow still out there without needing to support 8chan to survive.
If people here want to support the devs without supporting the publishers, i have a solution at least for console users: buy used. yeah, the devs won't recieve any money but the money you will spend will likely go to the publishers anyways.
I came here to speculate about the unanounced THQ nordic games, but 50% of this thread is now derailed. WTF is this shit?
I suggest the following: If people want to talk about that 8chan pr stunt, they should make a dedicated thread about it. Threads about THQ Nordic's games and announcements should be free of any derailments.

The fact that gaming journalists still havent taken thqn to task and the fact that thqn never actually fixed the shit they pulled....
Just bafflingly frustrating
This time it is actually partially about ethics in game journalism and those same people are dead quiet lmao

this post is what happens when the mod disclaimer someone posted higher up in this page is not set as a threadmark in every one of these threads. it should really be rule to put that into every thq thread going forward
Thqn picked up a ton of IPs. Maybe another company could scoop them again.
I don't want to sound like I'm backseat modding or anything but may I ask that we have additional guidelines on members that hand wave the issues as " simple drama" and dismiss others' concerns? I can understand the desire and interest to speak about these IPs, I've try not to insult those that do buy THQ games, but people calling it stupid or drama feels a bit insulting for those who were personally affected by what THQ did.
THQ Nordic has largely been riding on the assumption that by ignoring it, the apathy of the gaming audience would allow them to get through unscathed. This involves ignoring gaming journalists who try to talk to them, giving them little fuel to continue the story from this.
Positions like this:
ultimately feed THQ Nordic's success, as gamers demonstrate that they are apathetic enough to allow this to slide.
