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

It is crazy how much this has blown up but I hope this sends a message to all the other devs. Just shut up and let your game speak for itself.
Right? I think FromSoftware devs take the cake when it comes to this.

I don't even know who works there apart from Miyazaki. They are always radio-silent. Just good games that the majority of people like.

No Twitter drama; no weird marketing interviews hyping up their games; nothing.

Now you look perfect.

We just need to use Little Chicken Little Chicken 's favourite appliance to apply the finishing touches:

Yep. I just want good games, man, that aren't brought down by this shit (or any other unnecessary thing, for that matter). If GoY is like that, I'll be (sad!) and criticize. I don't have high hopes from Wolverine anyway.

You know your posts are gonna be under extra scrutiny from now on, I'll be curious to see if you hold firm like now or if we see a more tolerant SIE friendly Heisenberg like 2023. 😇

I think the overall drop in the quality of the first party titles this gen (imo) + the woke elements in their games + the investment in concord are all really big symptoms of how things are in sony western studios as of right now.

I dont have any hopes from their western titles unfortunately.

Hope they proove me wrong though.

One of the companion is cute. Doesn't have the Outer world haircut

Big boobs? Naw. But cute.

Wait till the REEE crowd gets whiff that she was "whitened" from the original concept art (From Mr. Matt Hensen's ?)

Now the game will be cancelled by BOTH sides 🤷‍♂️


The character creator 'creations' seem to be considerably higher quality compared to Outer Worlds.

No one's gonna have the short-hair-girl problem.

The output looks similar to Dragon's Dogma 2.

Even if someone doesn't like 'the default' like that artist said, you can always create your own.

'Avowed' Art Director Wants Supporters Of Donald Trump "To Feel The Sting Of Shame For The Rest Of Their Putrid Lives"​


Edit: I guess this is an older statement than his others, first time I’ve seen this one though.

Something tells me he feels way different now.

Also friendly reminder about his post you quoted there. No, Horizon isn’t an RPG and no, the game doesn’t give you the choice abiut romance. It only gives you a choice about whether you kiss her or not. Whether you do or don’t, she is a lesbian and has feelings for another woman.

The fact there are not strong leaders at these woke infiltrated companies that immediately terminate toxic people like this guy is really something.

The very notion they have to know this will only tank sales further and still do not take action is just sad.

I think with the subscription model they have, they have even less incentive to sell a lot of copies to survive. If their focus isn't to sell a lot of copies, they wouldn't focus on making the game that customers actually want and would pay $70 for on day one.

And they certainly wouldn't terminate toxic people that align with their own ideologies just to give their game a better chance of commercial success.

Same as they did with Spider-Man 2 on ps5, so they are now working on Wolverine, also helped with GoW Ragnarok, I am assuming that you have not played either.
To be fair - didn't play any of these games. And not interested in Wolverine, too.

Yea it’s interesting to see how much of these Xbox games get a bunch of polish all of a sudden when they’re about to release on PlayStation for $70.

From Chat GPT:

The term "woke mind virus" is often used in a pejorative or sarcastic way, typically by critics of progressive or social justice movements. It suggests that people who are seen as excessively focused on social issues—such as racial equality, gender rights, or identity politics—are being "infected" by a form of ideological thinking that is deemed extreme or irrational. The phrase implies that these individuals are unable to think objectively or critically due to their adherence to what the speaker sees as overblown or misguided social beliefs.
Not bad chat gpt.

It is an improvement over the outer butch boy, but If that chich is the best you can get when you create a woman it's not really close to dd2

I mean y'all can wait for the game to come out to see how extensive the suite is :p

Right now we only have what some of the preview people made to compare. IGN's final preview video before DD2 came out had them using the most generic fantasy-ass created character as well.

I think IGN editors surely see the extensive suite potential.


Joke aside, I hope this game would turn out good and I could create a busty thicc girl to fuck around.
 
Instead of a circle of privilege struggle session bullshit, companies really need mandatory social media best practice sessions.

None of this shit makes any fucking sense if your goal is to sell to the widest audience possible.

Even if you are clutching your Funko pops saying "I make my own decisions and think for myself and can ignore whatever to enjoy any corpo slop" to defend these games, devs running their mouth on social media before launch will hurt the sales potential of any game.

It's a dumb self inflicted wound that proper management and oversight would curtail.
