I know it because I handled CRM tasks before. That's simply a no effort email, literally just combining 2 templates.
Seems like they're getting lots of similar emails and didn't have enough time (and/or manpower) to compose something decent enough.

I really had to go through support. Will take 1-2 mails back and forth, and then I was done.

This is the best way to compose these things. I hope others listen to your advice.
Nah. Trump and "that" selection of his supports are obviously part of the issue, but the villains are the ones enforcing and acting out these actions as well.
There's no single one "bad person", and CDPR is Polish too, so that doesn't really apply.
Basically, transphobes can just go fuck right off :V
Yeah, that really bothered me. Instead of drawing any meaningful conclusion in the article, let's just promote their game instead! Yay!
There can be, and are, a lot more villains than Donald Trump and his jolly gang of deplorables. A bit US-centric.
Yeah, I know the PR is the face of the company, but I blame it more on CDP (the parent company) than CDPR. It might be a bit of wishful thinking on my part? Yeah, maybe. But I really don't think they represent the people working on the game.
Did so as well. Together with the message of not wanting to support a transphobic company.
Hope more do it and it will stir up some people there.
Same. They then asked for confirmation through email, asking to verify my birthday. Should be done fairly soon.
Also, does this count as irony (their disregard for #WontBeErased leading to deleted accounts) or am I misusing the word again?
You might have had a point if the official Cyberpunk 2077 account didnt make a tasteless "Did you just assume my gender" joke.
Or the word "if".
"If you were offended..."
Well yeah, people were offended, there is no "if" about it.
Thanks for the link. I'm gonna go ahead and get mine deleted as well.
I can see why they would want to bring out a non-political statement asap. This is one. As bland an apology as they go. Doesn't read heartfelt in any way though.
I typed out something, to say that this might have been a tweet out of ignorance and not knowing any better, but then I was reminded of the other two tweets. Combined, they are not a good look. Not sure I could defend them based on not assuming the worst any more. 2 times might just be really unlucky timing combined with ignorance or bad luck (the picture) but three times in this short timespan paints a picture about your social media staff and by extension you as a company that is not pretty.
Yeah, that "apology"-tweet seals the deal. Fuck them.
This is a great idea. Thank you for the link.
This is a great idea. Thank you for the link.
Sent a cancellation request as well. Told them not to try to repeat the non-apology and also laid out ways they can remedy their behaviour (Donating to pro-trans groups in their home country, sincerely apologizing and also firing their PR guy)
Yeah, this has been brought up before and the mods decided that it's not okay as they revealed the name of the person responsible for all of this, and edited the images and posts.
Because videogame hype Trumps all.
Yeah, the company is to blame for hiring the gator. Yikes, THAT website, that explains a lot.
Good stuff. I just did the same, and also permanently removed their games from my steam account.
Rhetoric based social media fights change what? I genuinely want to know because I've lost all my enthusiasm for that kind of activism.
If modern day global tyranny is run by a handful of elites through American corporations, American military, American intelligence, and various American global financial instruments of power; and since the tyranny allows this discourse on their official channels, it must mean that it doesn't threaten their privilege or power.
Paraphrasing MLK, the privileged will never give up their power willingly, and since people acting in groups are far more immoral than individuals; I cannot see a change in power structures being caused by tweeting @corporatemediaperson.
What I have seen is that when any organization of individual actually does threaten power, they get killed or jailed or isolated, usually with a character assassination as well if they are famous.
Yep. Everything we see makes it more and more clear that this shit is imbeded in their culture.
Thanks, I just did the same.
If they don't represent CDPR, when are they going to speak up and say something about these multiple instances? Surely the people working on the game shouldn't feel afraid of retaliation for saying they support the Transgender community and denounce Transphobia.
There you go. The rest of you can choose to continue living in denial. Some of us won't.
GOG, CDPR should be banned from this site.
I doubt we can give them the benefit of the doubt for ignorance when this is their third time doing so.
People were making the same arguments for the second tweet; "Oh but they might not know what that meme means and how it could offend someone"
Yeah right.
At this point it is malicious. There is no way in hell they used this hashtag without knowing the context behind it.
You don't know what doxxing is. This is public information. Nice try though.
