THQ Nordic’s 8chan Q&A - And the salt mines of ResetEra

[Kiwi Jeff]

I'm just going to say that 8chan is a very odd place to do a Q&A because it's not very mainstream.

 

[Wake me up]

Did a search for 8chan on Google to see whether ED or similar popped up on the first page (RationalWiki did, by the way) and found this related gem: THQ Nordic holds AMA on 8chan, a forum Google banned for child abuse content. I mean, a website called Game Revolution is as unintentionally ironic as it gets but I decided to share regardless

Yikes! Don't they know there was CP there? unlike reputable sites like reddit... tumblr... twitter... wikipedia... google... facebook... youtube........ Kiwifarms! I knew i'd get one eventually!

We have a Code BIG YIKES !!

oh also Ron is a part-time game developer and probably knows THQ staffers lmao

I always find the reactions to these sorts of things funny. "Oof" and "yikes" have unironically become the left-wing version of "libtard" or "cuck": a simple mantra you can utter to dismiss something without actually thinking about it.

My favorite thing is how they're still believing Dan Olson's 8chan sting op hoax.

Damn THQ's twitter is going into damage control now. Real talk though, this really is PR poison, 8chan has one of the nastiest reputations on the internet. We're talking about a website that was blacklisted by Google for hosting boards dedicated to child models aka barely legal CP, not to mention that its /pol/ is even crazier than 4chan's, with lots of unironic neo-nazis and Q tards.

They should have done the Q&A on 4channel /v/ or /vg/ if they wanted to court the anti-SJW crowd without looking too bad in the eyes of normalfags since 4chan/4channel is mainstream now. Also 4/v/ has like 5,000 times as many users as 8/v/.

Why does every fucking company pussy out to people who don't buy their shit

4chan is still a internet hate machine to them. Only Reddit, ResetEra, and maybe Twitter are kosher places for AMAs on the internet.

It is sad they will probably fuck themselves over and ResetEra will campaign to get them all fired and branded as thought criminals, but it was still funny as hell.

Fuck I hope it doesn't come to that, but then again it is the current year...

Yikes, Yikes, weasel-like, scheming since blue haired tykes.

For whatever reason, the lessons music industry learned years ago have been forgotten. When a group of highly disliked moral guardians come knocking on your door, you simply tell them to go fuck themselves and publish the thing anyways.

 

[Ruin]

Dis nigga getting fired.

 

[usoland]

Dumb as fuck, but I 100% support it because it's hilarious.

The funny thing is that(as it often is) they're dumping on people that built themselves up from nothing as if they were always the corporate overlords. Nordic Games(now THQ Nordic) started as a post-order new & used games store in Sweden back in the early 90's, like a Gamestop but with fair prices, that offered imports like Secret of Mana, Final Fantasy III etc. and then cleverly expanded while listening to their customers. And their customer base wasn't huge to begin with.
