THQ Nordic holding an AMA on... 8chan (UP: website linked to multiple mass shootings) READ THREADMARKS

You were right, it wasn't worth it.
It was extremely painful; less than 5 minutes in browsing some of the threads I was actually feeling dizzy and nauseous. And I thought I had built up a tolerance to this kind of thing already. More than that I just can't, because I don't understand how these 'people' even operate in real-life. It's like peering through a basement window only to find WH40K Chaos cultists in the middle of sabbatical. I have enough to deal with in real life with this exact kind of shit, though quite frankly I should have known better than to go in a pedophile den just to find out who Mark is.
From what little I saw everyone was cheering on this Mark, who is apparently the administrator of the board the AMA happened on ("Mark will clean it up", except I doubt you can really clean up Hell). For some reason they there kept posting pictures of someone's exposed hiney that's supposed to be Mark's. I couldn't tell whether it was to mock him or to praise him in the same way like one praises the sun, like he's some kind of idol. Either way that's messed up. The only other thing I noticed is that someone posted a YouTube video of Mark in real-life during some kind of 8Chan meet-up. Apparently (and unsurprisingly), he's the big guy with the Nintendo shirt (CRINGE WARNING):
That's kind of what I expected. But for the most part the threads were filled with pathetic joy that someone actually gave them any attention. I used TOR as protection to access the site, so hopefully I'm not stuck on an FBI watchlist for the rest of my life.
If this hadn't exhausted me so much I might have written this as a Lovecraft story spoof to at least add a teaspoon of humor into this black void, but then I realized Lovecraft would have probably been browsing 8Chan if he was still alive.
EA: Damn, we're catching a lot of bad press with the poor reception of Anthem, I wish another publisher would do something and take the heat off.
THQ Nordic: I got you fam!

If there was ever a moment that justified Resetera's existence, it's this
It's pretty interesting that they keep refusing to talk about Destroy All Humans while outright saying that other titles aren't in the works. I guess we're in for another Destroy All Humans.
So Reinhard and Phillip are both higher ups, right? And Phillip has posted stuff on his Linkedin that suggests he's one of those anti-SJW anti-PC guys.
What I'm feeling from this is that there is no possible way that this isn't just a result of them failing to keep an extremely toxic corporate culture under wraps.

Era has only been around for a little over a year and we already have the best post that will ever be posted on the website. Damn it!
The amount of people saying "Brock" in this thread, and the reason for it, makes me uncomfortable.
fuck u thq
fuck u thq
Can we be certain that was actually him though? And not some troll who saw their chance to destroy a company and career?

This is a set rep gone horribly fucking wrong.
8channer got a job at THQ
You take a guess which is more likely.
Rather, a major stakeholder and his buddy turned out to be 8channers.
From what I've seen that red ## Reporter indicates that it is in fact him and not an impersonator.
Reinhard is basically in charge of production at THQ Nordic. There's not really anybody higher until you move to the parent company (and even then, it's only the CEO).
He's had the opportunity to deny involvement (in actual phone conversations at this point).
That he has not done so indicates it almost certainly was him.
Ok... We didn't finish February and we already have a possible FUBAR of the Year.
2019 is going to be interesting.

There's one phrase no company wants to be associated with and that phrase is "child pornography". Guess what pops up when you search THQ Nordic on Google? We don't need to wait and see, we know they've been unsuccessful.
User Banned (Permanent): Signing up in bad faith, defending homophobia
I dont think i understand. Does "cease your faggotry" actually relate to homesexual behaviour in every single instance the word is used? I feel like the guy from THQ was assuming the word had taken the position of a different meaning...aka; saying something is 'gay', but just meaning it's undesirable,especially coming from a gamer, who are known to throw words around like this. I doubt the director is actually homophobic, more just clueless with today's gamer literature.
I didn't know what 8chan was either. Obviously a mistake that they went there.
I don't see why everyone is taking these two seemingly mistaken actions and blowing it up like theyre the worst company in the world right now. It's just an accident. Can't tell me you've never done ANYTHING questionable in your life ever?

There was someone earlier who was wondering if THQ Nordic's name was suspicious, I think we can give them a prize now.
I can just imagine every single THQ Nordic stockholder right now is shitting themselves and screaming "Sell! Sell! Sell!" at their brokers right now before the company tanks hard after this disaster.
Live look at the situation.

Yep. They also had some garbage answers during the AMA itself that showed that they agreed with the hateful stance of that community.
You have more faith in the gaming community than I will ever have.
I'll wait till the birds come back to roost, till then I guess I'll skip Ori and the other stuffs they were supposed to publish.
Yep, you search THQ Nordic on Google and the word CP is all over the results, if I was the CEO I would be flying to vienna to personally fire all the people responsible
The CEO is basically sentient money.
They'll stay in business for as long as he chooses to pay for it.
