"Thread reboot" is like an infantile, enraged bad game player rage quitting when they lost at vidya.

Something Hecht the cuck probably experienced a lot if he ever played games at all.

I also like that the idea that THQ literally did nothing wrong isn't even an allowed opinion.

Also re that "this totally happened" story, if there's CP out there, probably one or more than one mod at NeoGAF's successor is an undiscovered amir0x who will end up in prison for CP.

The Ministry of Truth would be proud of this man, he successfully adapted their "rectifying" of "public" opinion to the Internet.

ResetEra's best and brightest minds gathering to discuss how best to punish THQ for their war crimes while ignoring the large elephant in the room that is the fact that they have absolutely no way to enforce said punishment.

Somehow I doubt THQ is gonna bend the knee just cuz a bunch of stupid twats on an internet forum said please. And the fact that it's one of the fucking admins leading the charge just makes it all the funnier, really.

While I think THQ hosting an AMA on 8chan was an amazingly stupid move and I do think the person who approved it should be reprimanded, that Era users are unironically suggesting journalists refuse to cover their products baffles me, especially since THQ Nordic has bought a lot of the major middle-market development companies that survived the last generation of games.

It actually amazes me that their idea of punishing THQ is to tell journos "Stop doing your jobs." But I am at least glad that barring Sterling's frothing at the mouth rage, no one really cares enough to go after this.

The guy who got banned earlier above was apparently a verified THQ employee?

Also here's some extra spicy articles from the screechers:

THQ Nordic delivered a masterclass in blowing up your brand - Polygon

I'm including the tweet for the last one because it shows you the psychotic frame of mind these people share with the Reeera posters. Straight up "Should THQ Nordic be forever reminded of its 8chan AMA?", which they don't discuss at all because they immediately say yes. Also the replies on that tweet are depressing but then again I assume you have to be a shit yourself to still be following GameIndustry.biz.

They (ResetEra mods and staff) overestimate how many people even caught wind of this, how many of said people even care, and how many users of their forum would wrongly blame the rank and file of THQ Nordic and not the (probably) several people in customer relations and upper management that approved it.

Like you said it was a stupid idea. It appears most agree and don't blame the entire studio as a whole because that would be illogical.

I think they were hoping for the same kind of backlash that the GOG/Cyberpunk social media team incurred after some of the Tweets they made last year, but THQ Nordic is just low-scale enough that barring maybe a few podcasts that came out the week of the incident, this'll get memory holed in a flash.

Add in the backlash Era got for pushing the crap out of the Catherine Full Body story and people just don't like them enough to look at whatever stories they get involved in.

How do these people even exist in the real world without being triggered by every aspect of existence? I thought Neogaf was bad, but Resetera is paint huffingly stupid. Imagine stepping outside and finding racism, sexism and etc., as the fucking sunrises; because the sun represents some nebulous bullshit and should therefore be destroyed because it makes women offended. This is seriously the rumination that goes through these fags' heads on the daily.

It makes ResetEra LLC itself liable for anything illegal their agent does. § 230 doesn't protect you when you're the one doing illegal shit.

Simple answer: they don't. They are triggered by every aspect of existence. The only reason they don't screech 24/7 is that biologically they're incapable of doing so (and because social norms would quickly see them ostracized even more than they already are, for being completely insufferable cunts).

"Everything is racist, everything is sexist, everything is homophobic, and you have to point it all out." -Anita Sarkeesian

Reminder that, in this quote, Anita was referring to her "awakening" as a feminist. She went on to say that she still thinks this, but has learned to pick her battles -- meaning there was a time when she wasn't picking her battles and was actually going after just about everything under the sun (and probably also the sun itself).

Turns out gluing a single set of lenses directly to your eyeballs renders you incapable of seeing the world in any other way. Welcome to indoctrination.

Lol at Polygon thinking THQ's brand is at risk. It already was before this, and they knew full well Reeeetards weren't going to change that.

Also, Jesus, they apologized and said it was a mistake, let it fucking go.

Through some roundabout way, all REEEE's REEEEing over this brought me to the knowledge that THQNordic now owns TimeSplitters, and may put out a new installation in the coming years. Which would be awesome.

Thanks, REEEE!

I want to take a moment to talk about the THQ Nordic situation. Or more specifically, the response to this situation. Or, even more specifically, the lack of a response to this situation. I'm not going to go too into what the THQ Nordic situation- there's a great thread on Era you can go to for...

This dude is continuing to have a totally sane and not at all unhinged reaction to the fact that nobody cares about THQNordic's crimes against humanity:

I don’t want to punish innocent developers

Hi everyone, here on ResetEra, I have learned we all care a lot about the developers, and don’t want to punish them. As a result, I am sure we are all going to be buying, supporting, and playing the following games: FALLOUT 76 DIABLO IMMORTAL CRACKDOWN 3 ANTHEM BATTLEFIELD 5 ... wait...

FALLOUT 76

DIABLO IMMORTAL

CRACKDOWN 3

ANTHEM

BATTLEFIELD 5

... wait, sorry, what’s that? You won’t? Why not? Why are you punishing the hundreds of developers who worked on the games for the decisions of just a few? Not every developer at BioWare decided to use the Frostbite Engine. Why are you punishing them? Not every developer at Bethesda Austin wanted to make Fallout 76, why punish them? Not every developer at Blizzard supported working on a mobile game, or showcasing it at BlizzCon, why punish all of them? No, no, we can’t punish all developers, so we must buy and spend money on all of these games. We don’t want to needlessly punish innocent developers now, do we?

Wait, what’s that? Oh, that’s right, you won’t buy them, because you don’t want to buy them. But a publisher boosting and supporting and linking to child porn, you’ll still buy their games, because you don’t want to hurt all the innocent developers working on the games for the actions of a few executives.

Who the fuck do you actually think you are kidding? Have some respect for the intelligence of others and just flat out say you don’t care about issues like pedophilia or nazism to not want to buy a game you were interested in, I’d at least have some respect for your honesty if nothing else then. You’re not choosing to buy THQN games now because you “don’t want to hurt innocent developers”, give me a fucking break, you’re buying their games because you were interested in buying them, and you won’t let the publisher being a vile entity that endorsed pedophilia get in the way of that, because you lack the moral fortitude to have some actual priorities.

And that’s okay. I mean, it’s not okay, it’s terrible, but at least have the decency to be honest about it. Rather than not having any decency at all.

Yes, instead of making another thread on a major publisher supporting child porn, let’s go back to discussing how Bloodborne tastes.

When a ranty thread bothers you but straight pedophilia doesn’t.

Phantoms little thread made the point clear as day.

Posters here will bitch, moan, whine, cry about any little thing regarding a game and proudly celebrate themselves not buying it..... But a whole publisher promotes a website pushing CP and Nazism and the same posters come up any damn excuse to keep supporting them.

You may fool yourselves, but you aint fooling anyone else. Largely, THQ will get away with it as its starting to show, but it definitely reveals how shitty and immature most of this supposed "Gaming Community" really is.

People aren't even educated on the issue, they keep saying PR people, when a whole department and a Executive (who participated) signed off on the AMA. They even coordinated with the site owner!

The worst part about this is that this section here is actually extraordinarily sane (as long as you read it with your tongue firmly embedded in your cheek, as it seems to have been intended). I've had people argue with me over boycotting products over shitty business practices, and the argument usually runs along this exact line. "Surely you don't want to hurt the developers! These practices might not even be their fault, and even if they are, not all of the developers are on board with them! Think of the devs' livelihoods!" It's a completely asinine argument because it ignores the inherently monolithic nature of a corporation.

The entire point of making a corporation is to have one voice, even if internally there's disagreement. That's what lets large groups of people get things done. If the collective makes a choice, I as a consumer have to react to that choice in whatever way it affects me. If I withheld my judgment because internally some of the devs don't like the company's choice and didn't support it, I'd never be able to refuse to purchase anything on any grounds other than "I don't really feel like it", and no bad business practice would ever be punished. I respect developers enough to not use the dissenters as a shield for the ones trampling on the consumers. In this, I wholeheartedly agree with ResetEra (although I doubt they've thought this through quite in this fashion).

But of course, right after this sane section, we gotta bring in "THQ totally associated itself with real CP! Aren't you gonna punish that?" Anyone with eyes to see and enough sense to check the AMA for himself can see that at worst THQ "associated itself" with loli, and only through PR reps talking in its vicinity and reacting to it. There's nothing here. There's no shitty business practice or behavior to punish. THQ didn't distribute or support or even condone CP. The only thing THQ is guilty of is a perhaps unwise PR move in hosting an AMA on 8chan in the first place, though I consider that laudable rather than shameful.

It's impressive, really, that a human being is capable of expressing a rational position immediately before ramrodding bullshit into it. As the saying goes: garbage in, garbage out.
