NeoGAF & ResetERA - The Hilarious N̶e̶v̶e̶r̶e̶n̶d̶i̶n̶g̶ Splintering "Gaming" Forum Circus

[Jaimas]

Another one bites the dust.
Yeah, it's clearly the publisher that made them do it, and it sucks, but I just can't feel any emotion about it anymore. It's the same shit happening over and over and over and over again - people get "cancelled"/fired/forced to change shit, trannies remain unhappy because they're all mentally ill exceptional individuals, the fan base becomes upset due to these changes, the company loses money (the gaming press might suck some dick in the process too, lest we forget about them).

Why does this keep happening? Why don't I give a shit anymore?

Because Progtards infest marketing and HR departments. The former in particular. They keep trying to tell the higher-ups at various companies that woke sells, and I don't think I need to explain to you just how many times that's been proven wrong.

Our good friend Imran Khan is out of job.

As a reminder, he's a VIP member of Resetera, a gameinformer "journalist" and a proud SJW. Worst of all, he's mostly responsible for painting THQ Nordic as pedophiles apologists because they hosted an AMA on 8chan.

Of course, he turned a blind eye when Pedoera exploded.

It has more to do with GaaS being highly successful and relying on desperate people for the constant spending. Troons tick the box.

Also this marks the first time I've ever refunded a game on Steam, an accomplishment none of the JPATG Bottom Ten have accomplished.

You mean that the Troons are desperate for rewards so they are more likely to buy into MTs and Loot boxes?

That what ya saying?

Get woke, go broke.

For anyone mad at Resetera for devs caving in, just remember lots of this is a fad. Even Isamu Fukui's money making will dry up.

The normies always win. Short-term pay offs for being a deranged lunatic are not sustainable.

they're having a meltdown over their comic book movies, 20 pages within an hour:

also they took care of that self-hating transman:

I guess God was into old school shooters and was PISSED at what ResetEra did, so he decided to pay them back by fucking up their favorite movie franchise.
Makes sense in a way.

I'll never get what level of brain rot you'd have to get to to call someone a 'toddler' over letting one massive media corporation have spider-man instead of another.
Though thanks to the poll they had about user ages, I can at least laugh at the idea that this post is made by some 30-39 year-old man who is legitimately upset over this, rather than a kid.

lmao censoring Sony:

 

[Bungus Scrungus]

I understand why people are angry at Voidpoint, but seriously, what were they supposed to do? When it's a publisher-developer thing like this, the publisher is your boss. You can't defy them. It's clear some of the people if not most of them at Voidpoint don't agree with this whatsoever, and they genuinely mean so. I get the anger, but 3D Realms are the ones who should be getting all the shit, not Voidpoint. All this should show is that you should self publish, if anything else. Unrelated to this; but PewDiePie got married pretty recently, so expect some exceptional shit from ResetEra.

 

[Vic Viper T301]

Sorry but I'm a bit behind on this shit. Is the apology from 3d Realms or from the actual developers? Because if it's 3D Realms that is really saying "yes daddy Resetera, we've been bad, here we will give 10K to the charity that chops little boy's dicks off if you call off your hounds" while the people who actually developed the game are still just saying "yeah, that tranny shit is gay, man" then I still want to keep track of their inevitable folowup after this gross SJW injustice drama a-go-go.

It's absolutely 3D Realms strong arming them. You don't actually go and just say "pirate our game" if you're just some corporate dickrider. People don't change their views at the drop of a hat either, and if you look into Voidpoints discord, I'm pretty sure you'll find some 3D Realms guy telling people to stop talking about it. It's ResetEra and Void's publisher at fault, not them. I get why people are mad at them, because most scenarios like this prior didn't have this nuance to it, but this nuance is absolutely here.

He's trying to downplay the fact they are censoring a very minor cosmetic element of the game. But it's a shampoo bottle that says "Ogay"

not "Fuck faggots kill em all" or "trans need to be hanged", just "OGay".

That's fucking pathetic. Can't trust these fuckers with future games either because for all we know they ain't even gonna attempt to have crude humor to appease people who aren't even going to buy their fucking game.

What a shame too because it was far more legit old school than Dusk. And Wrath which I was looking forward to I may not even buy because of this shit.

I hit the Agree until I read you saying it's better than Dusk. Totally disagree. Dusk and Amid Evil are better. Wrath is from different devs but 3D Realms is still the publisher.

 

[AnOminous]

Congratulations, you stupid fucks, for setting your franchise on fire to suck some tranny cock.

Yeah REEEEra is super influential and you should always do whatever they say you dumb motherfuckers.

Every one of these assholes no longer being paid for shitting up the world is good. One down, ??? to go.

Shit, I completely forgot that Gearbox owns 3D Realms. Gearbox is the same fucking company that bans you for misgendering a masculine sounding masculine looking robot who is voiced by a man. The writing was on the walls and I was an idiot who completely forgot about this fact. Goddamn you, Randy Pitchford. God fucking damn you.

They don't own 3D Realms. They own the Duke Nukem IP.

SgtMarkIV of Brutal Doom fame called out ResetEra by name on the Ion Fury steam forum.

https://steamcommunity.com/app/562860/discussions/0/2763442118825066622/ (https://archive.vn/Ffrrz)

Look, I understand you are trying to protect your employees careers. But this is not the way you should handle things at all.

Let's start talking about the notoriety of the events: By yesterday, literally nobody but ResetEra and GameRevolution cared about this drama. Now you are on the front page of Kotaku, IGN, The Escapist and many others. Not your apology painted you as the wrong people, but also made the event more well-known, and now you are getting review-bombed on Steam. These are very clear signs that your strategy didn't work.

Before all of this, I didn`t even knew about the existence of ResetEra. I thought all people related to NeoGaf had vanished from the face of the internet after the pedophilia scandal. Now not only you brought them to the spotlight again, you gave them power, you made them right.

Now, about the ridiculous apology itself. Apologizing for what??? Apologizing for saying that "trans parents should not decide their children sex after birth and mutilate their genitals?" You think this is something wrong? You think this is transphobic? Do you disagree with this statement? Because anybody that believes on this viewpoint may be a potential child molester and should be put in a watchlist. If you apologize for saying that, then that means you defend this viewpoint.
I have seen SEVERAL trans people both on facebook and twitter defending the dev's position that he said nothing wrong. So who are you apologizing to?

And then, censoring the game... that's just the insult to the injury. The cherry on the top of the shitcake. Who ever mentioned the game itself? Why???

You opened a precedent. You brought these horrible people to the spotlight. You caused an irreparable damage to the gamming industry. Gaming's worst problem today is people that does not plays videogames can find themselves comfortable to dictate what videogames should be about, and you are enabling that.

I really supported this game. I really wanted you to succeed. After all the garbage you all have been through, the ♥♥♥♥ with Pitchford and Gearbox, the Bombshell fiasco, the ♥♥♥♥ with Iron Maiden, you guys deserved to win at least once. I know some of you, I talked to Fred on the ROTT days, one of your spriters (formley known as Mike12) helped me back in the early days of Brutal Doom development, I know you are all nice people and I hope you can all do well, but I simply can't get behind this. It's infuriating. I'm sorry guys.

You can donate 10 grand, or all the money you want to any charity you want to please these bullies, but not with my money. I do not want to support any business that bends its knees to these kind of people and supports censorship. I really hope I can get a refund. Please, at least consider going back on the decision of butchering the game.
