What does Trump being elected have to do with pro-life people being awful or not?
Not singling you out of anything, but you honestly don't need to add that clarification. It's literally the entire basis of being pro-choice. Nobody is explicitly "pro-abortion."
I mean, I also support burning totalitarian communist regimes to dirt; supporting fucking over women is dumb as shit tho
Lol I didn't mean it in aggressive way but rather a supportive one. I have to work for an incredibly awful boss myself :/. 🤷
Another one bites the dust. After really enjoying Subnautica recently I thought I might give Maneater a go sometime. Now, though:
To all you people who say 'I wont be touch game X' your do realise a President of a company doesn't actual develop, program, design, QA Test or probably even touch said game!!??................but 100s of hard working programmers do, so your not punishing John Gibson who probably doesn't give a fuck if you buy his games or not if he doesn't give a fuck about Women's rights!!
I've never understood this stance as it doesn't actual harm the person who the hatred is aim at 99% of the time!

Yep, yep, yep, fuck this guy. I liked Maneater. There are enough games made by non dbags for me to play another one of his games.
... this is the dumbest take I've ever seen.
"Don't boycott that guys company, it won't hurt him. I mean, he makes money off every single thing his company does, but really, it's the poor artists you are hurting." Fuck this nonsense.
He's the co-owner. When you buy a game, the money goes to him.
Of course it harms him directly, but it also has a lot of collateral damage. The best we can hope for is that it causes others to not want to work with him and/or he gets booted out of the studio by the board or whatever.
Pretty sure not buying games from the studio he OWNS does hurt him.
Well, as he still is the president of Tripwire, I still wouldn't call them cool (I mean, some of them must've known his stance on stuff).
This absolute asshole just fucked his entire studio with this disgusting nonsense, putting his own employees in a terrible situation.
How dumb do you have to send out that tweet and not know what's going to happen?
Well, I was waffling on whether or not to give Maneater a try, guess he solved my problem for me.
Absolute knob-head. You love to see when shit heels like this get whats coming to them. It really sucks for the employees that have nothing to do with this though.
Also, Cory continues to be the best.

Imagine (probably) catching one hell of a ban for firing off a hot take, that a simple minute google search, would have dissuaded you from doing
What kind of take is this? Yes it does. The pro-life movement is and has always been nothing but anti-woman propaganda cloaked in a thin guise of being about child welfare. You literally cannot be pro-life and not also be supportive of women.
Fuck this, just horrible.
And it's not JUST an abortion ban, which is reprehensible enough. Dude supports a fucking Handmaid's Tale nightmare state outright.
Like jfc.
(It's entirely separate from the individual 'ignore game' option, which is unlimited.)

Just note that unless it's changed recently, you have a slot of like 100 curators/publishers you can ignore, and once you hit that cap you're fucked. It's super baffling why the limit is so low.Another one bites the dust. After really enjoying Subnautica recently I thought I might give Maneater a go sometime. Now, though:

American conservatism is a real fucking case of smelling your own shit for roses these days, god-fucking-damn. Sure love to wave their figurative and literal guns around and making everyone else feel real fucking free all the time, absolute goddamn deluded shits.
Sorry, Texans. This shit really sucks to see.
Fuck Tripwire.

Fuck Tripwire.
I didn't say 'buying' i said 'touching' as in, not play a previously purchased game anymore.
Also i think your massively over estimating the amount of people who buy Tripwire game's to the amount of people who even know who John Gibson IS let alone his fucked up views!!
So he's at Pax now. Maybe has his phone of. Then, returning to his hotel room, turning on his phone and realising what is happening because of his tweet.
So what are we supposed to do then? Keep giving him money and playing their games?
A call to Era's developers and mods about the "think of the poor devs" argument.
So, a new Harry Potter game has been announced right in the middle of serial escalation of vileness from JKR transphobia (quite a feat in itself, considering her past record, but that's not the point of this thread). Among the usual bad faith arguments to justify purchasing the game, a familiar...

You seem real upset at the thought of anyone doing anything in response to what he said.
"If you think about it, it's immoral not to buy these games!"
I have a lingering suspicion that Texas lawmakers watched The Handmaid's Tale and went "hmm that's a good idea!"…
What are you talking about??
You were talking about it not hurting him, but the devs instead. What's that have to do with not playing an already owned game?
why does it matter if someone doesn't want to play a game they currently own? i don't play a lot of games i own.
Another anti-vaxxer gun nut. That profile picture is so fucking cringe.
Lol at calling Cory a fascist. Same energy as the people throwing around the word communist in response to vaccine mandates.
You said touching, but you also referenced buying the game as well actually.
This doesn't surprise me.
I used to be a mod for Tripwire forums some years ago and I did some non-paid testing for some of their games over the years. I know a few people at the company because of this. John and I were "friends" on Facebook up until about the 2016 election.
I come bearing receipts of him being a piece of shit for ages now. I had made a Facebook post calling out anybody that willingly voted for Trump. I said, in short, that those who voted for him "set progress and America as a whole back by a factor of decades, if not more." Included in the post were links to shit that any sane person would look at and think "how the hell could we elect this person?" But no, not for John or people like him.
This was on November 9, 2016. This entire post is public on my Facebook page. It was always public from the start.
John's initial reply to my post and the follow-ups.
Here is where John admits to unbanning a repeatedly excessive racist time and time again. He "tried to be kind" to someone that broke the rules on the TWI forums to warrant a ban about a dozen or so times, each time being unbanned by undisclosed higher-ups. Some time prior to this I had already stepped down as a moderator on the forums precisely because that user was constantly getting unbanned by "undisclosed higher-ups" and completely undermining the job we were doing as mods.
And now a great part. John says he can't be racist because the pastor of his church is "an African American!" Oh, also his daughters had crushes on "African American boys."
His last two replies on the post are here where he justifies unbanning the repeat racist offender "Mike." He then doubles down on the whole racism thing by saying he "knows many racists" (I'm sure he does) and that they would "never go to a church with an African American pastor."
I did not reply to him anymore after that. In fact I believe I removed him as a friend on Facebook afterwards.
So sure, it's not quite the same topic at hand here. We weren't talking about abortions, but John's true colors were pretty obvious even back then.
Fuck you, John. You were a piece of shit then and you're a piece of shit now. The only people I feel sorry for in all of this are the employees that will now have to deal with the fallout from your continued stupid bullshit.
