It seems that this is the majority opinion in Korea as well. The Korean fanbase has been having many grievances recently, but the lack of a 'proper' female swimsuit ID caused them to go crazy. They got it into their heads that PM had become infected by the insane feminists from their country, this worsened when one of the CG artists were found to have agreed with male-child abortion posts back in 2018.

This is something they're handing out at PM's office.
People's dissatisfaction comes from the fact that Sinclair's new ID is more traditionally fanservicey than Ish's.
Some even believe that Sinclair's new choker-wearing ID (marked by a red circle) shows that PM wants to take down men. There are some people that think that Jihoon is no longer the director and was replaced by someone more feminist.
However, they do have actual grievances, but those are being overshadowed by the actual schizophrenia being shown.
These grievances are: Uptie 4's inconsistent upgrades and cost; Faust's nerfs; 'secret' buffs and nerfs after the growth rate change (likely incompetence from PM due to lack of play testing); and fear that the event will be the same grind fest as last time.
We can only see what happens now.

I personally don't mind her design and stuff, she's just not my favorite character (I'm more of a gregor, faust, and rodya fan tbvh) (Also I know that'll probably change since the next chapter is about her), also she's in a full body latix (assuming it is) swiming suit showing curves how is that not enough fan service?? Are there diffrent standards for fan service in korea?? I don't agree with the review bomb because honestly the reasoning is kinda dumb and stuff, if they pulled something like Skullgirls then yea I can see the reason behind it. But if it's something dumb like "they didn't show enough boob on fish woman noooo reeee" and shit then go touch grass dear god. On the topic of Uptie 4, I don't really hate it(?), yea I hate that it's expinsive af now but at least shards aren't as useless as before. Also why would you had out shit at the dev office of the game your shitting on, your just being petty at this point.

Well, PM has released an announcement in Korean about the situation. Long story short: they'll rebalance the growth rate changes and the Bodysack and Representation Emitter EGOs, and they fired the CG artists as they broke company policy (which they claim has been told and retold many times in the past).
They never mentioned uptie 4 and just said that there was no intent to represent any real political message in the art.

This is some of the most schizophrenic shit that I have ever heard about.

What 0 pussy does to some men, for real. The English fanbase, as far as I can tell, were just joking about the swimsuit IDs. Also, I really like Fishmaels ID design since it makes sense for what they were going for. Since the ID seems to work underwater daily in and out it makes sense for her to use a full body swimsuit. It also looks good and shows some curves.

I assume that's the one that liked the tweets about male-child abortions, yes? If so, I don't approve firing people over politics. But it is what it is.

As far as the uptie 4 problem goes. My only grievance is that the upgrades are wildly inconsistent, Talisman Sinclair gets nerfed by the upgrade and others are just very mediocre for the costs.

I still hope that the new event isn't as grindy as the last one. Or at the very least it's more fun than grinding the same chicken dungeon over and over again.

I actually thought Fishmael is pretty good, skintight outfits are always a nice change of pace and I kinda prefer her to the other girls in the company. I'm not really surprised though that a promise of a beachside episode and no fanservice blew up in the devs face, coomers gonna coom.

As for the buffs and nerfs, I'm not nearly autistic enough to care and I enjoy the free lunacy (what happened with Heath's ego that was so bad?).

Basically, they nerfed his ego and made it so that his uptie 4 was like his standard ego + he gained 2 strength after the attack. They might also have nerfed his passive, but I forgot. That is, if I remember correctly.

That's the issue with trying to balance gacha, people are way less forgiving once it's changing things they spent money towards. It's Power Creep or bust.

I saw they at least announced the nerf for Faust's EGO but it was pretty obviously overpowered.

She apparently doubled down on her previous comments after people found out about them, had a severe woman moment, and that's why she got fired.

But the whole drama has been such an incomprehensible wild ride of switching sides, clashing autism, and people melting down over such insignificant bullshit. If the coomers are mad or appeased, I couldn't give any less of a shit, what I am enjoying is just how mad the le heckin' wholesome reddit and discord community, that is full of the most insufferable troons, fags and fujoshis, is right now. Plus the IDs aren't actually changing, so lol, lmao, best of both worlds.

And also apparently the troons flipping allegiance and review bombing both Limbus and Ruina can barely move a percentage of the recent reviews on either, meanwhile the coomers were out in force and knocked Limbus from positive into mixed, and now took it back up.

Shit sucks for PM's plans to make money, but if this gets the worst parts of the Western community to fuck off and not come back, gets the coomers to shut the fuck up, and gets PM to actually fix some of the gameplay problems, like it seems to be doing, I see this as nothing but positive.

Anyways, hope the event grind isn't AIDS, and by Allah, my fragment and thread stash is getting milked dry by all these fun Ishmael IDs.

That's kind of what I assumed happened. Modern women don't just "change their views" after a few years. Especially considering the fact that she violated company policy in combining her personal and professional Twitter accounts (which is a big no no in the professional space). Leftists can't seem to get that you have to separate your personal from your professional life. Their "activist" mode is always on looking for shit to stir.

Is there even a single female truck driver in the entirety of S. korea? Do any of them even play the game or it's the usual case that because men got their way for once they need to be ruined?

In the end the guys behind the story about a city ruled by nightmarish evil and greed now realize the real dystopia was home all along.
 
I have seen a video about this whole situation by a Limbus channel named Welvader. While it summarises it decently enough and it has sources listed in the description. I take it with a grain of salt since I don't know Korean and all of this is just second hand information for me. The only discrepancy to what we have been discussing here is that the tweets (or xeets idk?) of the CG artist doubling down are likely fake or written by another artist in 2016. The source for that in the description of the video is Reddit, so I am not inclined to trust it. But then again, the translation for the doubling down tweets are 4 chan green-text which I am also not inclined to believe since there are multiple versions floating around.

Fuck me, man. Why does politics have to ruin everything? The game isn't even pro or anti-feminist, but both sides of this retarded political circus need to involve themselves in it. Can't both of them fuck off? I just want to play funny Gregor game with bug man Gregor (:_(. I hope that this circus doesn't mess up or influence the game or company. Since I like their work.
 
So, it's been about a day of peak-twitter drama.
The review bombing has not moved the review scores for Limbus.
Ruina dropped by 4% and then went back up by 1%.
I wasn't paying attention to Lobotomy Corp.
All still in very positive or mostly positive.

Limbus daily player peak is down by about 900 people, but I chalk that up to it not being reset day, and people waiting for crabs, but we'll see.

Huh, turns out troons and women online are really fucking loud and obnoxious, but get no visible results.

I think our little game is gonna be just fine, my dudes.

Please pray for me because I only have 2000 lunacy and spent all my fragments on Ishmael uptie 4s, and I want that diving suit.

edit: Subreddit is reopened and all the bitching is being contained to a single thread, and everyone else is back to making unfunny memes or talking about the upcoming event.

People seem to be unaware or have forgotten.
I think I need to add more context to this. There is more to this than Koreancels mad at feminist.


SK has a history of radical feminist cults fucking over people. Hence why the seemingly disproportionate reaction of the Korean fans.
-----------------
I really don't understand the desire for fanservice in dystopian games.
It'd be like jacking off to any of the Tsukihime characters, it just feels wrong.

Ordinarily I'd say good on them for excising the radfem, but it's Korea; the cancer is pretty much terminal.
