yes i'm loving it!There's been a resurgance of retro PC-style games and I'm all for it.
Looks cool but just a reminder that these guys are basically running an alt-right gaming show. Voidpoint, Running With Scissors, Destructive Creations, Sgt Mark IV are all involved with their presentation they are doing right now. Fuck 3DR.
Man this is fucking gross. Fuck off 3DRealmsYeah, no. Fuck 3D Realms and everything they are publishing.
Imagine if Ubisoft or EA would publish even a single game made by some bigoted, transphobic alt-right assholes like Running With Scissors.
Now imagine if they announced they were publishing games by SIX DIFFERENT bigoted, transphobic alt-right asshole developers.
Would they get an "aw shucks, it's just a few bad apples, the publishers are good people don't punish the developers!"
If I was a developer and saw the kind of garbage people 3D Realms are financing I would distance myself as far as possible from them, least of all sign up with them
I learned something today, and I won't be buying this after all, I just don't feel the need to add to the choir with these types of things. Thanks everyone for bringing this up.This and it's a shame people are just glossing over it in this thread.

Let's be clear that the nonsense they pulled isn't just in the past. It is front and fucking center of the Realms Deep event they are doing. They are straight highlighting out in the open bigoted developers.Yeah, looks like something I'd enjoy being a fan of Hexen 1 & 2, and even Witchhaven, but there is just no way that I can support 3DRealms after that nonsense they pulled. They chose to back bigotry, and exclusionary and hateful attitudes. I'm not giving them any sort of support.

This is them hosting an event about them actively financing a whole new raft of horrible alt-right/Gamergate developers. And then also inviting even more onto the stream.
I was trying to find out more info about the same thing in the other thread related to the Realms Deep 2020 event: https://www.resetera.com/threads/anyone-paying-attention-to-realms-deep-2020-maybe-an-ot-___.280787/Is there somewhere we can see a list of the involved parties and their corresponding crimes?
Dark1X claiming to be ignorant and apologizing for propping up 3DR in the DF Ion Fury thread is now out there supporting 3DR again. No more benefit of the doubt from me. Choosing to sweep shitty behavior under the rug because you like retro shooters is not okay. 😔
Mod Edit: Off-site drama
I was pointing out the hypocrisy of him continuing to support 3DR now knowing about their bigotry. Anyways I'll create a separate thread in a bit about the 3DR stuff to bring it to more people's attention as this is well beyond gross.Can't imagine why John chose to leave Era.
Raising issues relating to 3DRealms seems like fair game, but dragging John into this thread reeks of off-site drama.
Bullshit. Supporting this shit should be called out everywhere. He's supporting garbage and he should quit doing it. Same for anyone and everyone else.Gonna stop you right there, because again, John has nothing to do with this thread. Even after he gave people what they wanted and left Era, some folks still can't help themselves.

Cool cool, please let me know when this isn't being made by a group that backpedaled a reasonable response on homophobic content into somehow framing keeping childish and shitty homophobia in the game as heroic and bold.
This game looks neat whenever that happens.
This. John isn't the issue. Bullying people with this purity check mentally isn't productive. I understand the bigotry issues, that's why i'm not buying their products. I would suggest keeping it there aswell. This 'i have zero tolerance for intolerance' stance a lot on here have does not help solve our societal issues we have today. No wonder John left era.Good call, you should follow the guy wherever he goes and bully him until he agrees with you. That always works.
Yeah that's fair, and I figured as much I know that 3DR doesn't tend to do a lot of dev work themselves these days. And the game looks well done by a team that, from all we know is just out to make a really neat game (of which by the looks of it they've done a really nice job). It's just definitely still something that leaves a bad taste in my mouth to see 3D Realms name attached the anything with how mishandled the whole previous fiasco went under them, and no apparent interest in making a change or taking responsibility.Well it's being made by Slipgate Ironworks. Not sure if they've gotten up to anything untoward. 3DRealms is the publisher.
I wonder why. With the medieval/chivalry sim subgenre it's pretty obvious (return to ye olden dayes) but it's less obvious to me why the retro FPS scene is unfortunately a haven for that type.Unfortunately the retro shooter genre is filled with these scumbags.
