THQ Nordic holding an AMA on... 8chan (UP: website linked to multiple mass shootings) READ THREADMARKS

[chandoog]

Definitely not checking it out at work.

 

[Joqu]

Genuinely disgusting.

 

[johancruijff]

8chan?

 

[corn_fest]

uhhhhhhhh

4chan /v/ I could maybe see but this is a bad look

 

[Deleted member 3897]

It has a GG subboard. And its the "CP" chan of chan websites....

It's a version of 4chan that was created after Moot banned people for posting CP.

Click to shrink...

Yeah it's basically pedos that got banned from 4 chan

WTF THQ
WHAT ON EARTH

 

[crimsonheadGCN]

That's an awful thing to do. I wonder who's idea this was?

 

[Edify]

Publisher of Darksiders and We Sing...

Well, this'll be an easy boycott.

 

[ASaiyan]

I believe this is their Idea of trying to become Devolver while not actually knowing how to be funny.

Click to shrink...

This is what I want to believe too. But Jesus...8chan ain't a "haha funny joke"...

There will be a serious apology for this inside of 24 hours, I'm sure.

[Mivey]

I get it, honestly. THQ Nordic was buildlnig up to much positive reputation. They have to shed some of it to maintain the balance.

 

[sharingandac]

How the fuck this was given a green light? Holy fuck

 

[Meg Cherry]

Did nobody involved with approving this actually do any research?

Click to shrink...

Almost absolutely not. I'm guessing this is one social media manager who has some... preferences - and decided to use their job to 'legitimize' a site that has a very toxic reputation.

Hopefully, this blows up in their face.

 

[AlexBasch]

It's where the people that got kicked from 4chan for being too shitty (gamergators, pedos) went.

"People who got kicked from 4Chan for being too shitty".

Funny how this sounds.

 

[SpottieO]

No such thing as bad pr?

Click to shrink...

Except maybe hosting an AMA on a pedo site?

Other than that, no such thing as bad PR.

 

[Futabaisthebest<3]

Someone asked for a free game and they gave a free code HAHAHAHAHAHAH

Insanity

Click to shrink...

They did what?

 

[AlexFlame116]

They cannot be serious...

 

[Aeana]

"Yikesboyardee," as the kids are wont to say.

 

[KoolAid]

Even if it's a social media guy gone rogue, this is still a bad look.

 

[Deleted member 42]

This definitely blew up on Twitter so they'll get a lot of attention

but, uh

 

[SmokingBun]

Just to put it in perspective, this is like MARVEL STUDIOS premiering AVENGERS ENDGAME in ISIS controlled territory and getting reactions from terrorists

 

[Hektor]

More likely it was just a rogue community manager who will get fired in the next ten minutes.

Still digusting and indefensible.

Click to shrink...

I hope so, but this sure would be a way to burn your career proper.

 

[Lashley]

A site used by pedos

What a swell idea

 

[FormatCompatible]

When goddamn the_donald manages to be the better option for a AMA you know you fucked up hard.

 

[Bear]

are we sure they weren't hacked?

 

[wrowa]

Wtf? I hope somebody mixed up 8chan with 4chan in an attempt to be edgy.

 

[nightstalker962]

"Very fine people"

 

[Deleted member 12379]

Just to put it in perspective, this is like MARVEL STUDIOS premiering AVENGERS ENDGAME in ISIS controlled territory and getting reactions from terrorists

Click to shrink...

Trying to think of an apt comparison but this works. Like wtf is going on here?

 

[skullwaker]

They have no idea why, and neither do we.

 

[Silky]

I really, really cannot fathom why a publisher responsible for children's IPs like the Nickelodeon shit would even CONSIDER this

 

[Hektor]

are we sure they weren't hacked?

Click to shrink...

For what it's worth, their facebook doesn't make a mention of this AMA, so it might be the case?

[Chindogg]

This has to be a joke.

Right?

 

[Deleted member 28076]

WOW. Don't think I've ever seen a company snap from "pretty cool" to "dead to me" so fast.

 

[BernardoOne]

Surely they must have been hacked? Because Jesus fuckin Christ wtf. A 4chan would already be insane, but fucking 8chan, the gamergate headquarters with pedophile boards? WHAT THE FUCK

 

[Deleted member 51539]

 

[Harpoon]

This feels like complete PR suicide. How does this even happen?

 

[Gleethor]

The official game publisher of Boko Haram

 

[Deleted member 401]

I really, really cannot fathom why a publisher responsible for children's IPs like the Nickelodeon shit would even CONSIDER this

Click to shrink...

Jesus fuck that's right.

And they just got the rights back, too.

 

[deepFlaw]

This is... something. I don't even know how to react to this shit. Just a fucking casually terrible idea.

I sure hope this was some rogue person and not actually something multiple people thought was a good idea. Cause even optimistically... do the bare fucking minimum of research before you sign off on something. And otherwise, that's way beyond a huge red flag.

 

[Rosebud]

Ewww

 

[manchego obfuscator]

What next, Stormfront?

 

[Deleted member 16025]

What the fuck?

Yikes bikes.

 

[Menx64]

4chan = Ish, ok

8Chan = Nop, I dont want the FBI on my door thanks.

 

[Sinder]

No no no no no no no

 

[Linus815]

Lmao, why 8chan? Why not 4chan? That would make more sense....

 

[Indy in the Fridge]

THQ Nordic: We're edgy like Devolver Digital!

 

[Rocketz]

 

[mattyhochs]

They're straight up replying to loli and homophobic memes. This is disgusting. I can't believe this.

 

[Instro]

Surely they were hacked or this is some bad joke/mistake. Running an AMA in 4chan would have been risque, running one on 8chan is utterly beyond belief.

 

[psynergyadept]

But why tho?

 

[Sinder]

Fire everyone involved in this decision immediately
