Deep Silver is publishing Persona Q2 and I think Catherine is still an unknown at the moment.I'm pretty sure SEGA Europe is publishing all Atlus titles in Europe from now on...
Deep Silver is publishing Persona Q2 and I think Catherine is still an unknown at the moment.
Did not know that, thought it was just the one guy. Its alarming and Im not impressed by their management.One of the individuals posting on the thread was not in marketing but, in fact, is THQ Nordic senior management. His title is Director of Business and Production Development. It is not isolated to their marketing department.
I mean, we should be boycotting Atlus because of continuing, unapologetic homophobia and transphobia anyway... So, yes?Yu Suzuki has nothing to do with this bs. If I say anything more I'll probably get banned. Make sure you boycott Sega and atlus games too while you're at it bc deep silver publishes them in Europe.
The developers who say they are sickened by what THQ Nordic did could move on to another publisher.Ah yes lets boycot the devs who had nothing to do with this...
The livelihood of Ys Net studio (Yu Suzuki) and the Shenmue ip depend on the sales of Shenmue 3. Damn game started off on kickstarter. Pathetic to attach Shenmue to any of this shit.
I agree, shame on THQ Nordic for doing this.The livelihood of Ys Net studio (Yu Suzuki) and the Shenmue ip depend on the sales of Shenmue 3. Damn game started off on kickstarter. Pathetic to attach Shenmue to any of this shit.
Maybe delete your Facebook too, and not watching YouTube, since they directly falicitate a viewing platform for these people.
But I suppose people will justify how and what they cherry pick to suit their own lives.

That is what you meant, right?
Can you not even read the first words of the thread title?
"For people who want to boycott"
Fucking moron.
I agree that it's pathetic to attach Shenmue to it and THQ Nordic shouldn't have 🤷♀️No, I think what he meant to say was that the livelihood of Ys Net studio (Yu Suzuki) and the Shenmue ip depend on the sales of Shenmue 3. Damn game started off on kickstarter. Pathetic to attach Shenmue to any of this shit.
Also an extension was that, is that it's a farce that a developer has to suffer, for being published by a subsidiary, of a subsidiary, of a SUBSIDIARY of a company, whose entire company is being judged by the actions of one man. If we are going to use broad strokes for all of this and ignore the specific details, let's start judging everyone by that measure, to highlight what a joke of an idea this is.
I get that you love Shenmue or whatever but it's publisher condoned child porn so sorry that I'm not supporting them.
Uh did you miss the whole reason for the boycott? They had an AMA on 8ch. 8ch condones and harbours child porn and by association THQ Nordic condoned it too.Do you have a link to that? I wasn't aware and wouldn't mind reading.

Sure, it sounds pretty silly if you play dumb like that I guess?I am aware, but just because I am going to buy a Chinese takeaway for dinner tonight, does not mean I support every Chinese genoicide and atrocity conducted by the country through some morbid 5 degrees of separation.

I'm not sure how "This publisher did bad thing so i wont support this publisher" is "5 degrees of separation" it's pretty fuckin' direct.
It's really not, because nobody is intentionally trying to harm those developers, you're just being obtuse about it because you care about those developers and have personal attachment to them and their work. You're trying to blame people who refuse to give money to a company that condoned child pornography instead of blaming the company as it is directly their actions that caused this not people's justifiable reaction to said actions and unfortunately indirectly will also harm these developers.I haven't sworn at you once, so don't swear at me, got it?
If you remember my post above, punishing a hard working developer and his staff for an atrocity carried out, which seemingly is supported by a website, which is then used by a company, who has a partnership with another company, who THEN has a partnership with another company publishing for the said developer.... Is as literal as 5 degrees as separation as you can get.

Dude. Calm down, seriously.Can you not even read the first words of the thread title?

Fucking moron.
You're reaching. They didn't swear at you. They just generally swore in their sentence.
Meant to say this in my other reply but since someone else already called you out on this, I clearly wasn't swearing at you. If you are going to continue to argue in bad faith i'm not going to reply any further.

by boycotting Shenmue 3 you're not only punishing Yu Suzuki and YsNet who made it all possible, you're punishing the thousands of gamers that got together the money to revive the Shenmue franchise through Kickstarter. This is literally a game made possible by us.
nah, dont even know about the so called issue so..... unless they show some scummy business practices im not worried. Don't care about the "politics" much.

Won't someone think of the poor fuckass trollsDude. Calm down, seriously.
Regardless of wording, guy has a different take on the matter. Did you want an echo chamber?
