Yep what I think too. Theyre not gonna say that out loud. China is going to be a huge problem for the videogame industry if nothing is done, and theres not much you can do as long as devs and stockholders keep taking their blood money.I hate to say it like this but China cannot continue to get away with shit like this. The company cannot outwardly say who forced their hands. Regardless of CDP being a crappy company, this one obviously isn't there fault. The CCP remains disgusting.....
theres a devotion netflix show? i only knew about the Detention movie
There is both a Detention show and a Detention movie, but unfortunately no adaptation of Devotion yet.It actually is a Detetion Netflix show, so we probably thought about the same thing.
And they own 40 % of Epic.This is why I dont want Tencent or any CCP related company in gaming. They are the worst.
It's pretty obvious Valve doesn't want the game on their platform. Why else would the new release have been exclusive to GOG in the first place?
Can the devs sell the game on their own website? Or how about a platform like itch.io?
Theoretically it could go on itch, but itch is a small company run by a handful of people and they may not have the bandwidth to handle the inevitable shitstorm that would come from hosting a game as controversial as Devotion.Can the devs sell the game on their own website? Or how about a platform like itch.io?
How can we know if no one says anything? They are not breaking any agreement by saying that they got denied by Steam, plenty of devs have. I'd love it if they told us if it's the case so we rightfully can sling shit their way too.It's pretty obvious Valve doesn't want the game on their platform.

If you meant the tweet in the OP, it wasn't showing up for me for a second, but it's back.

They are the biggest bullshitters. Nobody believes a vague statement like that.

It's been crumbling for awhile now. They've been showing their ass on social media for months, but largely got a pass because they had a huge game coming out.watching cdprojekt's gamer first facade crumble within a week has been interesting

Posting transphobic shit and leaning into GamerGate talking points.what were they doing? i hadn't followed anything on cyberpunk until right before launch.
Eurogamer have a decent summary of events.What is the story behind it? I have no idea of what is happening here
It's wild that they've pissed off everyone. They need restructuring. Awful company.watching cdprojekt's gamer first facade crumble within a week has been interesting

Not me.It's wild that they've pissed off everyone. They need restructuring. Awful company.
Honestly, to me it's wild that the "we care about YOU!" facade lasted this long. Their marketing department has always been blatant pandering.It's wild that they've pissed off everyone. They need restructuring. Awful company.
Please, explain. If you're going to make a post like this I would hope you're willing to back yourself up.Not me.

The publisher removed itSo is this available anywhere else? Wikipedia seems to suggest Valve already bowed to the same pressure and removed it from Steam?

As been told several times, they removed it themselves. There is no info regarding if they have resubmitted the game or anything like that.So is this available anywhere else? Wikipedia seems to suggest Valve already bowed to the same pressure and removed it from Steam?
Ok. So is this available anywhere else or not?
Would you say that cancel culture has struck again?Not me.

Here's some context:
Devotion (Chinese: 還願; lit. 'Fulfill a vow') is a first-person psychological horror video gamecreated and developed by Taiwanese game developer Red Candle Games for Steam. It is set in Taiwan in the 1980s, with a majority of the game happening in an apartment complex in Taipei. The game also incorporates elements based on Taiwanese culture and folk religion. The game was released on February 19, 2019, but was removed from Steam shortly afterwards on February 26, after the game was review bombed by Chinese players due to a controversial reference to Xi Jinping.[SUP][1][/SUP][SUP][2][/SUP][SUP][3][/SUP]

I consider bigotry towards LGBT+ gamers and other marginalized communities to be anathema to anyone who claims they are "gamers first".oh sure, i knew about those. the assume gender, helicopter and peeing on gaming journalism tombstone tweets. pretty sure it's been known for years not months about their transphobic/garbage social media posts and little internal action against them. it's more that those are things that "gamers" probably don't care about unlike buggy / broken games or raging against an easy target like the ccp and inclusivity was never really their selling point for their games or platform - the whole gamer first dog and pony show was.
