Avowed art director calls Elon Musk a "sad little shit" over Avowed gender pronoun complaints, indicates more of the same in final product

Yeah, I'm playing through this and it would be nice if there was one decently attractive female. Just one, plz.

“Owning the chuds” is basically dunking on anyone not agreeing with they/them political views essentially.
Perhaps that's what he meant, perhaps not, but that's why he shouldn't use that language on a public platform with hundreds of millions of people to draw their own interpretation of what he meant.

Attention all black GAFers, if you’re black and you need someone to read your post and give it a thumbs up or a surprised Pikachu, my DMs are open. We got too many white motherfuckers around here.
Attention all Black GAFers, like 99% of western studios the people at our game company are 90% White and 90% guys.

We need a couple token minorities or women we can push to the front of the line in company photos to make it look like were super diverse, when almost everyone from rows 2 to 10 are White guys.

Make note, even though this message is open to all Black people, were only going to hire maybe two of you. The rest will still be Whiteys.

Yep, that’s for sure. Super dumb move. But maybe as they say, no such thing as bad publicity! 😉

Yup

Peoples are making a business out of this.

So there's some parts you can take out of it, but it's why I don't adhere easily to the outrage just because there's a dozen youtubers making a shocked face and getting the pitchforks out.

I react, boycott a game when the water goes over the cup in nonsense and agenda.

Like exactly this. Who even talks like Taash in Dragon age veilguard?


People are making a business out of it and not even trying to hide it.

It's a shame because I understand when people are concerned about something. But when these grifters are cited it really throws it all to the wind. They're all just echoing the same thing, lol. It's like citing Kotaku to me, the same, but different, lmao.

Why would he want to make Elon mad with his game? Why would he be thinking of Elon Musks opinion of the game at all, either positive or negative?

Have to agree with Elon here, it is completely insane to introduce gender psychosis into a world where it didn't nor could exist.

Only an ultra wealthy society could get to the point where they reject biological and fundamental reality.

Though to be fair Kant did question some of those things in the 1700s, but that was just human science really.

I'm genuinely curious as to why the corporate world is synchronized in this form of suicide.

This isn't new at all. Although in the past they would chop a boys balls off whether he wanted them to or not.

I would disagree, if anything, fantasy seems the ideal place for somebody to use it.

The PR is looking fantastic.


People are preaching to their own crowd with these videos. I'd bet 95% of people who watch this kind of stuff already are and want to get mad about something. This rarely reach the masses. 99% of people have no idea about that comment or, even if they know about it, they don't really care.

Tha game looks dope. Let devs have their own opinion.

This is such a weird way of looking at things. These channels pull in ridiculous numbers for what they are, over performing most of the established ‘safe’ gaming channels because they’re addressing things players care about. The grift wouldn’t have oxygen if these studios started listening to the people that buy their games…

Oh boy, tell me you are out of the loop without telling me you are out of the loop.

I get it that some people dislike the rage warriors and I think it's absolutely fine.

But you need to figure out the root cause - rage warriors are the repercussion of overly pushing wokeness. You get rid of wokeness, then there will be no "other side".

So it's generally pointless to claim "oh both sides are equally bad", when one is created by the other.

I understand when your whole media bubble only talks about one thing, it feels weird to think that not everyone is talking/thinking the same thing. But that's reality.

Yes. On both sides it’s a big circle jerk and grift. Especially on YouTube and twitter and shit, the algorithm is showing you what you want to see.

Grown man saying he wanted "so badly" to make someone mad with "their" game is actually what's sad here.

Way to put your game, and entire team, at risk by saying something that dumb. Even if it was on a garbage, echo chamber of a social media platform that nobody cares about.
 
That's exactly the focus I want the next first person RPG to be developed with - to "piss off Elon Musk". Not to make a great game, fun RPG, deep mechanics.. Why even respond to Elon, this looks just as shitty to sling mud back. "More of the same in final" :messenger_loudly_crying:
