Will you buy a game from a developer/publisher who actively provides a platform for bigotry and nazis?

[Deleted member 46804]

Please respond to the thread with reasoning if you answer yes.

 

[Trisc]

One person answered yes, but didn't respond. What a shame. Would've liked to see those mental gymnastics.

 

[Yukari]

Is this about THQ and 8Chan incident?

 

[Neoxon]

Hell no, they'd go on to spread their bigoted beliefs with the revenue they get from said game(s). I can't in good conscience support that.

Wait, why did anyone vote yes?

 

[Argentil]

Would appreciate some examples. I'm avoiding Actiblizz and Ubisoft because of all of their respective nonsense. Thankfully neither pub has released a good game in years, so I'm not missing out.

 

[brawndolicious]

No, if they don't ban people that spout that nonsense then I would stop using it, leave a bad review, etc. Mainly cause it normalizes that type of attitude to lonely kids and that's how they get sucked into an echo chamber.

I do support allowing those people to protest on public property or whatever like the 1st Amendment allows. Partially because the petty side of me enjoys seeing how much they're outnumbered by the counter-protestors.

 

[Caiusto]

Hell no.

It would have to be somehow I'm unaware of or like in some type of bundle with other games.

Accidentally voted yes, I read the question wrong.

I'll generally try to avoid if I can, although it's becoming increasingly harder to do so given how many game devs and publishers are complete vacuums of morality.

If it's repeat offenders like CDPR then absolutely no chance. Otherwise, I'll either wait for a sale or used if I really really want to play a game so that I'm contributing as little money as possible to them.

Ah, thanks, yes. I did read that thread. I was already uninterested in their catalogue, so it slipped my mind. Easy to write off something you aren't invested in.

 

[Deleted member 16876]

Of course not.

3D Realms are grabbing a lot of games that I do want to play but fuck them. I don't support assholes like them.

 

[Karlinel]

Nope. Plenty of shit to play from non-bigots.

 

[ZugZug123]

I put THQ as a Ignore on Steam and never looked back. So handy of Steam to have that option, makes sure I never forget :D

 

[TooFriendly]

No. And similarly I won't be buying anything from America at all if they vote in Trump again, which would be a much larger platform for bigotry and nazis.

The poll and framing of this thread isn't going to lead to any productive discussion, so we're gonna go ahead and lock this one.
