I agree that playing Shenmue 3 doesn't turn you into a right wing terrorist supporter. Which is a good thing as I plan on playing that game since I pledged too much money to the kickstarter.
Oh look, another post from somebody who hasn't even bothered to research what the fuck they're talking about that's trying to shift any culpability away from THQ.
Because right wing propaganda is extremely effective, even on self-proclaimed leftists and centrists.
No one can tell you what to do. Decide for yourself what's important to you.
Buy them used is the best way to handle this. You give them money, it'll go to the top one way or another. To THQ Nordic.
depends which games you want, there's probably different options: buy used, buy them on a different online store/platform with a different publisher, buy them when the whole thing is resolved, etc.
Thankfully, you can pause Humble Monthly if you have paid for more than one month.
Oh my god I could not roll my eyes further into my head. There's no point of discourse in this thread because they responses to points raised aren't even related to what is being discussed at hand. Just reverting to the same beating of drums about the right wing propaganda which I have no fucking idea how that's even related to anything that I said.
Ah, thanks. I actually tried looking over XBGP's library looking for THQN stuff, but missed it entirely.
1. You ignored the fact that you don't know the whole story. It's NOT just one marketing guy.
Everything you have posted has already been addressed multiple times. Other parts of it (single marketing guy) are factually incorrect.
To be fair most of the people coming up with the "but the developers" line aren't worth the time and yet I'm still responding. If it keeps this thread active it's probably worth it.
I like how you conveniently ignored all the posts that called out how weak your initial post was.
1. Small group or one person is irrelevant to the conversation about developers and how they remain innocent and completely divorced from the publisher who puts out their game. They signed contracts and deals months if not years prior to any controversy.
yeah, I know it's a long shot. but why not give it a try? explain the situation and see how they react. maybe they'll put some pressure on THQ themselves.
Your anger should be aimed at the people condoning child pornography and white supremacy. Not the people who don't want to give said people any money.
And now their publisher tied themselves to a sight delisted from google due to child porn and the developer is now stuck with that. If people don't want to buy their games after that then the the blame lies with THQ, not the people who don't want to support a company that endorses disgusting garbage.
Out of curiosity, what is your alternative solution for those of us who don't want to give money to people who condone child porn that doesn't impact the developers?
Recent current events didn't change anything. I already expressed my extreme displeasure to THQNordic on this very site in the past. I already knew that 8chan was literally the most vile place on the Internet.
The OP already mentions that tbf. I assumed that when people like Vire show up going "you're hurting the devs" they already took the information in the OP into account.
