Literally all they're apologizing for is the venue in which they decided to hold their message and not the fact that their message was to fight SJW influence and include more lolis. Fuck off forever THQ.

Kinda surprised there hasn't been an attempt at a major raid yet from 8chan, they seemed to love talking about us, (envious as fuck).

ResetEra isn't really the type of site you can raid. There are subtle infiltrations though. In Etc, if you go to any given thread about black/women's rights, you'll see it.

"Hey this is actually good PR because everyone is talking about it"

HEADLINE: THQ NORDIC DECLARES IT'S INTENTION TO FUND ISIS, IMMEDIATELY PLEDGES MILLIONS OF DOLLARS

Hey that would also be good PR, everyone would be talking about it.

So they had a dude responsible for keeping the "nasty stuff" in check but also had no idea what 8chan is.
Very likely, I believe him.

Since Phil is a fellow Austrian, may I offer him a typical Austrian shoutout.

Not sure if someone else has said the same, but this basically echoes my thoughts:



Wouldn't be surprised if this was the plan and they backed down when it was clear no one was on their side.

Not saying it is, but I wouldn't be shocked.

It's gonna be funny waking up tomorrow and seeing THQ Nordic's stock dropping down to 0.

Oh I know, I've seen them, just kind of surprised we haven't seen a ton of "subtle" accounts suddenly pop up in this thread. Because on 8chan they were taking screenshots of this thread and posting it there.

It's time for a firing. Getting your company associated with a known child porn site that's delisted by Google specifically for being so is an instant snafu even if you claim you didn't know (he totally did). What a fucking moron.

To whomever is like "any PR is good PR"

Please, do tell, who isn't seriously soured on THQ right now? Era, and much of the gaming community for the AMA itself, and the 8chan / LULZ crowd is for the apology and 'surrendering to the YIKES crowd'. Right now, everyone seems to be very very disappointed by them in some way shape or form :P

How is this good PR again?

This doesn't jive with, "the are cleaning up the bad stuff"

Playing devil's advocate: He could have confused the place as equal to 4chan without realizing everything else. Even that doesn't hold up because one quick glance at the place and you'd have all the info you need to logically make the conclusion that you done fucked up.

He'll ideally be fired or "let go." Or quietly move him somewhere and lay low for awhile. They shouldn't be let off the hook even if they do fire him though.

This is so fucking funny the more I think about it.

How did he register? Does he have a SFW registration page that doesn't show wtf this site is about? Does he live under a rock?

THQ is showing their 90's, and it stinks.

8chan is an anonymous board, you probably can't register even if you wanted.

Anyone who unironically says "all PR is good PR" doesn't have a fucking clue what bad PR can actually do (or at least how much it costs to handle).
