No some people just actually give a shit about not supporting a disgusting company and spreading awareness about how disgusting the company is to those who may not know. Also a good constant reminder to those who think it's acceptable to just brush off what they did.Is this a bot or script that runs when a thread has THQ in the title sis? Literally this entire thread has been about this subject lmao
I think you need to maybe refresh your memory of what they said, or maybe read Diggeh's post and links for the first time if you haven't before. They were actively engaged with discussing child pornography. It was brought to their attention, and they continued on with the AMA anyway, while mocking people upset by it. They are a disgusting company and they should never live it down, especially while they haven't even done anything about it.
You don't just end up being on 8chan unless you have specific things in mind, let alone holding a glorified AMA.
No it isn't, but it should definitely be a thing. What's up your ass?
I think that's exactly why they should snark. Their most concrete solution after one of their subsidiaries was normalizing Nazis and pedophiles was to change their name.
You're acting like somebody could end up on 8Chan without any idea of what is on there. Which isnt the case at all and is an extremely tired and worthless attempt at excusing their actions.
Although a German person in another thread pointed out to me that it's Nordic does make sense if you're thinking in terms of Nazi race theory.
Is it significantly different from endorcement if you go to a site that you know primarily hosts child pornography and Neo-Nazi and treat it as if it's just edgy? You're still validating the people there.
there's no way this name change has anything to do with the controversy. the controversy didn't blow up in any meaningful way, definitely not to a degree that would force a huge holding company to change its name. this just makes logical sense for them to pick a new name since they're getting bigger than just being the parent company for thq games, and it's confusing in the first place for a parent company to have a subsidiary with the same name.
Well it's hard to let go. I'm definitely someone who is really forgiving and will be ok with a lot of things and still buy a product of something I like. However even for me it's hard to let is slide when the publisher won't take major steps to fix the issue(i.e. firing the dude who hosted that shit and publicly taking steps to ensure they are against those types of stupid people). I love a ton of their properties as well and it saddens me that I won't likely be able to buy Warhammer, Red Faction or Timesplitters games from them anymore.
Nobody cares about the 8chan thing anymore. Polgyon, Kotaku, Destructoid, Jim Sterling and pretty much the entire gaming community / media dropped it as soon as it stopped getting clicks. Also Era now keeps shitting up threads for devs that got bought by Thq which is just weird cause it aint the devs fault. Some devs are fighting for their existence. I kinda get why people are pissed, but uh it never gained traction to actually fire the guy.
they're pretty big. they have an absurd number of IPs, and a huge amount of studios. a lot of them are recently bought so it'd take a while for them to have games ready but in a few years i think we're gonna see a large amount of games (both big and small) being published by them regularly. this is all the studios/companies they own as of now:
Does your spine hurt from all the contorting you're doing to downplay what they did? You are saying yourself that the people hosting the AMA acknowledged and engaged in a joking conversational manner with people looking for child pornography. AKA they knew there was child pornography hosted and shared on the website that they chose to do an AMA on, and did it anyway. How the fuck is that ok or not disgusting? Not to mention the fact that they sympathized with and agreed with people calling those taking issue with it SJWs and said they wouldn't cater to them, aka, they agreed with the pieces of shit on 8chan.
At least for me, it's not condemning the entire company so much as 1) the people who actually went through with the AMA and 2) the people higher up in the company who could have actually done something by now IE fire the fucking bastards who did it. Maybe there are some people who blame the entire company when they say "Fuck THQ Nordic" but I feel like for most people, it's fairly directed and not meant for like, the janitor or some QA tester who obviously had absolutely nothing to do with it. IMO it's pretty clear who was responsible and who could have done something to prevent it or at least clean up after it, but nothing has been done. So fuck THQ Nordic.
Is this a bot or script that runs when a thread has THQ in the title sis? Literally this entire thread has been about this subject lmao
The fact that you're making all these excuses for them proves my point about you.
Fire the people involved, and do what they can to remove Reinhard Pollice from a leading position within the company if completely removing him is for some reason not possible.
I think the minimum we can ask of THQ Nordic is to do literally anything. I don't think that's too much to ask.
Every thread about THQN should ultimately be about this subject.Is this a bot or script that runs when a thread has THQ in the title sis? Literally this entire thread has been about this subject lmao
As Nappael said, the minimum they could do it remove the people responsible. At least for me that would go a long way towards righting the ship. It's insane IMO that they're still there.
Also this. They've done jack shit to make anything right.
