Hmm office door would imply it was an internal grievance
My guess is the CEO himself put it there (if it happened at all).
Looks like Ori has been added to the boycott list.
Urgh, I really like the Ori games and was looking forward to the new one once it came out of early access. Not anymore unfortunately. I don't even care about representation in games, but this is just blatant transphobia.
Imagine making a Souls-like and then spending all your time complaining about the tr*nnies. Pathetic bastard. What a way to eliminate half your audience. That said, I'm more of a New Vegas girlie myself so it's not like I'd ever buy it.
Go anti-woke go broke
What's the connection between souls-like and trannies?
Dark Souls 2 had the gender change coffin.
I don't know what OP was going for but that came to mind.
Gwyndolin in Dark Souls 1 is a semi major lore character and is trans(?)
Yes it's because you don't put five trans characters in games. Not because you complain about wokeness and cancel culture in a way that is not so much a dog whistle as it is a fucking foghorn of rightwing nutjobbery.
Is this all a weird ad for his game, to get eyes on it, or is he just like this?
Honestly this sounds like a guerilla marketing campaign of sorts.
The game is mostly positive? If it's getting review bombed, then it isn't a very effective review bombing.
From what I can tell they recently got a few negatives that put them into "mixed" briefly because players were critical about QoL features, difficulty and whatnot, seemingly pretty valid types of reviews.
Is he purposefully trying to get the comoany shuttered for tax reasons? Maybe he owes a lot and wants to declare bankruptcy?
"Everyone who is critical of me is woke."
Oh thats some more info of this drama that I didn't knew... unsihlisted.
Thx for the news.
Wow fuck that guy. Drag is going to think about how to get Will of the Wisps refunded
