Last Night

>>380467990

Can I get a quick rundown on the controversy?

He did the right thing by:
1) Apologizing for falling for the dumb GamerGate moment and clarifying that he is not at all sided with retarded /pol/tards anymore and he grew up out of his /pol/tard phase
And
2) Not kneeling down to the Neofaggots by apologizing to Zoe Quinn or donating to feminism to "prove" he's on their side
I'm buying the game because of that

>>380468213

SJWs SJWing

>>380467990
>that's definitely the developer's fault
Go shill on Tumblr faggot

Game looks good, Neofag hates him because he dared having a conflicting opinion from them and /pol/tards hate him because he apologized.
That's three great reasons to buy the game.

>>380468257
This
Politics are separate from games and he did his best to detach his game from that association
That being said, the game looks really fukken neat, that artstyle is excellent

Don't give a shit about politics, I want more cyberpunk and this scratches the itch

After complaining about every lazy cunt indie title for their lazyness on artstyle and animation, this one looks fucking fantastic, purchase confirmed for me and fuck feminist faggots who try to attack a man instead of the work he has done.

>>380468496
>>380468257
What did he say worth apologizing for?

Im hoping its got some substance to it. Even if it doesn't, for once I wouldnt mind buying a cinematic moviegame just because of that artstyle.

>>380467990
What I don't get is why are politically controversial games like farcry5 are allowed

but a small indie game isn't because they have different political opinions.

Need to see some more gameplay footage before I make the jump but so far so good

I was gonna buy it but then the dude apologized so fuck that pussy ass bitch

>>380467990
How is it his fault? It's been three years since that shit happen and people just dug up his past to make him look bad.

Isn't that concerning? It's like people can't make "mistakes" or hold their beliefs at all. I'm excited for the game but now I can't even talk about it since all will it be is "hurr durr he's sexist" or "hurr durr he apologized so he's a cuck now"

I'd apologize for that if I made that tweet when I was 17 years old and looked at GamerGate later as a 19 year old

Also it's easy to pick on a small indie dev

>>380468882

I mean he is french, and even said he doesn't know what's going on in the world, dude probably just jumped on GG for the lols like all the non e-celebs.

>>380468882
You're no better than the Neofaggots that refused to buy this game because he said something mean to them.

>feminist prove him right by flipping out
Is there any self-awareness?

>>380468213
SJWs waited three years, until the perfect moment, to make an attempt at a guys reputation. And the game with it.

He even mentioned the "controversy" during the PC gaming show. Which only goes to show his naivety. He should have known that excuses only fan the flames with these people.

>>380469373
You don't see a problem with tweeting #gamergate #notyourshield? He fell for the retarded gamergate meme. He grew up and wanted to distance himself from the retards that still believe in that shit.

>>380469067
A fair amount of those tweets are faked. The twitter account that brought it to everyone's attention was deleted as soon as that was revealed.

>Supports equality
>People who claim to be fighting for equality get mad

They may as well just admit that equality isn't actually what they want.

>>380469456
Not true. If they found out about this before, they would have made just as big a controversy about it and probably managed to get him not published by Microsoft to avoid drama.
He's fortunate that they only found out after he had exposure at the Microsoft press conference.

>>380469373
The problem is that he makes that sort of tweet to get the fuck SJW crowd on board, then makes a dumbass apology about growing as a person to placate the journos (never mind that the journos slandering him would be a perfect thing for GG to jump on if they cared about ethics instead of SJW shit) so he can get max money, and now both sides hate him.

If you're going to pick a side in this moronic shitshow, the least you can do is stick to it.

Thats the sunken costs fallacy if I've ever heard it.

>>380469713
They found three year old Tweets within a day? By accident?

Does this seem likely to you?

>>380469763
I disagree. He did right in showing that he doesn't believe the GamerGate shit anymore. He shouldn't be souless and pretend he still believes in that stupid shit for the sake of placating a retarded part of his audience. That kind of souless capitalism is exactly what's wrong with vidya today.

>>380469976
Again, if they wanted to maximize damage, they would do it BEFORE he got the deal to get the press conference. That would have been when it would have actually hurt him way worse.

>although to be fair it's the developer's fault
No it's not, you faggot.
All he did was make tweets 3 years ago that are considered "wrongthink". They're not even offensive to anyone besides the most fragile person.
The only stupid thing he did was apologize and counter-signal his previous wrongthink.

>>380470383
He did right in apologizing for believing in stupid shit and evolving as a human being. He shouldn't double down on stupid shit just because he happened to believe it before.
He most certainly wants to distance himself from the faGGots and not be associated with them and I don't blame him.

>>380470304
They maximized the damage by making him admit it in front of an audience. The moderator didn't even ask, but it was the very first thing he said.

The smoking gun is all they need to get the SJW jihad rolling.

>>380470565
That's still way better than him not getting the Microsoft sponsorship and exposure to begin with. You're dumb.

>>380470383
This.

The guy is being called a bigot for declaring himself an egalitarian instead of a feminist 3 years ago because he said he doesn't think modern feminism has a consistent message.

>>380470660
They don't want him personally. They want to make an example out him. It's abou the damage and the attention.

>>380470513
You wanna know how I know you're a cuck?

>>380470826
Your conspiracy theory is overly elaborate
Occam's Razor is that Microsoft saw his great looking game and gave him exposure, SJWs remember people that triggered them even if it's 3 years ago because they are petty like that and they started autistically screeching because of it. That's all there is to this.

>>380470985
Again: they found out in less than a day. How much time was between EA and the PC gaming conference?

>>380471165
They found out in less than a minute. All that needed to happen was for one of the petty SJWs to remember that this developer was once a GamerGater to autistically get everyone else screeching

>>380467990
Looks neat, i probably would have bought it if he wasn't sucking SJW cock on stage.
If you're going to shitpost on twitter you should own it

>>380469067
Yeah, but you the type of bitch that apologize to the nigga who fucked your girl if her head game wasn't on fleek. You're just a sorry dude. Period.

No, I'm not. You don't know me. You projecting?

It's like people don't understand that you can get a dystopia by taking any idealogy to an extreme. That's the core of dystopian fiction.

if you don't want politics, dont bring it up yourself. You constantly accuse /pol/ posters of doing such a thing yet its ok when people do it and agree with your fucking nazi views on what opinions are allowed. You either discuss it or you don't, this kind of behaviours is just breeding right wing resentment because it is so fucking invasive and holier than thou. Both sides need to shut the fuck up, but don't act like you have any right to speak and they don't, you lefty fascist little fag

>He did the right thing by:
>1) Apologizing

Incorrect. Apologizing to these kinds of people is like dumping buckets of blood in the water to spook off sharks. That's just not how it fucking works. Any kind of weakness shown just tells them they have power over you, and that you're the type to lamely bend over with the slightest amount of pressure.

>>380473406
It's seen by them as a permanent admission of all guilt for anything they ever or will ever accuse you of.

It's the worst thing you can give to them.

Ignoring it until they scream themselves out, like AVGN did when they claimed he was a sexist/racist/whatever, is the only safe longterm action.

>>380473406
This.
It's like you've never dated a "modern" woman.
The second you cuck to her, she'll lose all respect for you and do whatever the fuck she wants.

>>380473406
Apologizing for saying dumb shit in the past is not bowing down to Neofaggots. They're not satisfied with something as neutral as this. They want him to donate to Zoe Quinn and get on his knees and support feminist charities, nothing which he will actually do. The apology is just important because he grew up since falling for the GamerGate meme and he doesn't want to be associated with faGGots.

>>380473651
Don't blame him
I wouldn't want to be associated with faGGots either

>>380473651
>Dumb shit in the past

One of the things they were outraged about was him claiming to be an egalitarian instead of a feminist.

Read that back. You said you would actually apologize for something you typed when you were 17.

What the fuck kind of bitch apologizes for something they typed on the internet when they were a teenager? Let alone redact their beliefs less than 2 years later once something goes out of vogue.

> "err... I am sorry I used to subscribe to egalitarianism principals, please forgive me, I will never do that again. I am so sorry."

Who the fuck are you sucking up to?

Zoe Quinn called him out so she could use the drama to plug her failing book, which she did, quickly.

*click* man you guys just don't like Zoe Quinn because you can't stand a strong independent woman it's not her fault her abusive boyfriend got pissed at her for "cheating" on him and raping him by her own retarded definition.

How many of you actually have social media?

I deleted mine about 6 or 7 years ago, and it's good, because my job is more secure without it.

>>380475130
I only use social media for my business promotion, and NEVER post anything private on there. There isn't so much as a single picture of me.

>>380475002
That's implying that he is apologizing entirely to try to placate the extremist SJW crowd, which is not the case. He's just apologizing for having fallen for the GamerGate meme in the past. Like you said, that's not enough for Neofags, but it is enough for most people that are more in the middle, assuming they care.

Either ways, he loses nothing on apologizing for it, absolutely nothing. He gets to dissociate himself from faGGots and that's a good thing.

It looks amazing.
I hope it's not a side scrolling walking sim, though I'd probably play that just for the rare setting anyways.
We need more neo-city games. BGE2's trailer had a nice city as well.

>>380475541
Literally any apology is seen as a total admission of guilt by those people.

It's guaranteed that when this game comes out it'll all be dredged up again because they know he's a soft target.

>>380475002
>Zoe Quinn called him out so she could use the drama to plug her failing book, which she did, quickly.
This.

She's shameless.

>>380469606
it's actually about ethics in games journalism

>>380475832
Who cares? The extremist SJWs were always gonna virtual signal and never buy his game. It's irrelevant. As long as Microsoft stands by him and doesn't drop him, he'll do fine.

He should have, since now he'll go from Tim Soret, guy they claimed was a bigot, to Tim Soret, admitted bigot, when they talk about him in the future, which they will, every time this game gets featured.

>>380474017
the only people who care to say they are an egalitarian and not a feminist are usually trash people to be honest.

>>380476731
>No one can actually be egalitarian, they are just racists and sexists in disguise!

No.

>>380474648
Now you are backpeddling.

When I was 17, I was a fairly liberal dude. A decade later, I grew the fuck up. This doesn't mean I feel the need to apologize for all the libshit I posted on MySpace, back when I was a teen.

Likewise, what the dude wrote wasn't dumb. Egalitarianism isn't necessarily a bad thing. It's a weak thing, but a male feminist is pure garbage tier. It's dishonest and worse, causes societal damage based on self-serving appeasemeny to the unwashed masses.

>>380468501
>Politics are separate from games
Not really. There's this idea being pushed that progressivism is the neutral position and a moral imperative, but nothing could be further from the truth.

I believe that people should be treated equally under the law, but I see no reason to view social egalitarianism as a moral imperative.

I think the world would be better off if people chose more traditional, conservative lifestyles. But what happens if I portray this worldview in a video game?

>>380477056

>>380480742
>fringe vocal minority
You do realize that "modern feminist's" main position is that the majority are misogynist? You can't hold both statements to be true at the same time.

You sound like a progressive, which is fine, but you're assuming that your view is the neutral, morally correct position. Assuming you are, I'd take argument against that.

Eh, I'm simply not a fan of the way progressivism demands that we lie about how the real world works.

Feminists act as if unchecked masculinity could take everything from women in an instant, which kind of implies that women are massively inferior. If feminism were true, they would merely have to claim what is theirs, but instead they need permission from men... Okay....

Maybe giving them permission to leave the kitchen was a bad idea after all.

Let be honest, I don't give a fuck about his old tweets about GG, but the plot of the game is truly stupid for a Science-Fiction setting. Not being full progressist, no problem, but being retarded and shitting the concept UBI like it will destroy the society, what the fuck is wrong with him!?!? It's like making a fiction just to shit on stuff that changed a lot of lifes like the Internet for example.

Also, from what I hear, it a cinematographic platform like it will be a walking simulator with cutscene that will put the stupid plot in your face...

If it wasn't about ethics in journalism, than what do you believe it was actually about?

Nobody gives a shit if some ratchet whored herself out for publicity and reviews. The only reason she became a flashpoint was that sluts are terrible people and they should be shamed and mocked at every available avenue.

What IS important was there is an actual tight-nit community of developers and journalists co-opting known franchises for the purpose of promoting shit ideologies. This results in beloved franchises being tranformed into horrible games, because the people making, selling and promoting this shit do not actually care about video games.

They care about identity politics. Games are just the medium, not the product itself.

This sucks because I just want to play my FPS without having WW2 revisioned as some sort of intersectional-multicultural band of feminists unite against ebil white Nazis.

Nigga, there was nothing wrong with the base ideal of Gamergate that people bought into. It just turned into some autistic shit later on, and then when the reasonable people all got bored all that was left was the crazy people.

But seriously, if you seriously think there's nothing wrong with modern feminism/the radical left you're not paying attention. That being said the alt right is cancer, too. Life fucking blows.

read the description of the game on steam again, it says nothing about UBI destroying the world just that worlds defines itself but what it's consuming instead of what it's creating

If a cuck thinks that I am a Nazi, that doesn't make him less of a cuck.

That's the problem with the Left. You are so obsessed with Identity Politics that you fail to realize that who you identify as holds zero value.

You can identify as a girl, you are still a dude. No amount of mental gymnastics will change the reaality of this.

Now, if you feel more comfortable having other people treat you like a girl, you have to then admit there is a difference between dudes and girls, which then contradicts modern feminism. You can't have things both ways.

Cutting off your own penis and letting other dudes have sex with your girl/boyfriend/fiance/spouse doesn't absolve you of your own stupidity, regardless of if you are speaking to Berni Sanders or David Duke.
