You have to imagine tons of devs under THQN are seething right now.
I feel bad, but THQN isn't getting a cent from me.

the PR guy and two higher ups, including one on the board of management
Absolutely spineless. Never giving them a single cent ever againSo Lars' statement is "no comment". Got it.
Bunch of awful people, the lot of them.
Guys it's shitposting give it a break, this is far from condoning a platform.
For better or worse plenty of people use 8chan as a congregating site. Even if the department is full idiots it's not like it can't be excused. Stop trying to crucify people ffs.

even just going to the site once should tell you everything you need to know about itthese days, nazi sites are so widespread that i look up any site i'm not familiar with before even clicking a link
how could they not do 2 minutes of searching before deciding on the site to host their fucking official PR? no one can be that stupid. at least some of the people involved need to be fully ok with the kind of site it is
Yeah guys! Give pedophile defenders a chance!Guys it's shitposting give it a break, this is far from condoning a platform.

Pack it up folks, nobody will ever have a better post on Era ever again lmao
Engaging with pedophilia and child abuse in good faith is normalizing it, though. No matter your intention going into the interaction. If you don't vehemently attack outright evil behavior (because you can firmly draw a line with these things and outright call them evil), you're making it seem somewhat normal by showing that you're willing to listen to the person who's participating in that behavior. Unless you're a professional trying to help that person, you should do nothing to engage in a genuine conversation with someone about their pedophilic behaviors and/or child abuse-tendencies. They should not be made to feel that their point of view is one worthy of discussion.I understand where you are coming from and I agree to an extent. This excuse that the PR guy didnt know what 8Chan was is ridiculous. He is in PR. I dont think they intended to normalize pedophilia or child abuse though imo. This was poorly conceived edgelord bullshit which needs to have repercussions but do all the studios under them deserve to get affected ? Game devs are already having a hard time holding on to their jobs.

and it's not like anyone at neogaf knew what kind of shit that guy had on his computer before he was arrestedAmirox was gone long before Restera began, yet that's all the comments want to talk about. They probably love GAF now.

Hell if I hadn't heard about this AMA from all the controversy I wouldn't even know about THQN. Now I'm just curious what games they've made and will make. Pretty great publicity stunt for people like me.

Shit, people despised Amirox even before everyone found out he was hoarding CP.Amirox was gone long before Restera began, yet that's all the comments want to talk about. They probably love GAF now.

I made the account a while ago just never had a reason to post until this was one of the top results on Google surrounding the issue
Not clicking through to read but...uhhhhh, what?...ok I have to ask.
What the hell is this Dan Olson conspiracy theory they're spouting off here. It seems particularly insane.
Dan did an article on 8Chan and child porn. They tried to twist that into him being the pedophile.
Oh. Of course they're going full GOP with accusing people who call them out of the thing they are actually doing.Dan Olson is the one who originally broke the news of the CP on 8chan.

Bruh, burning my toast in a toaster is a mistake. Sleeping past my alarm is a mistake.I am not going to as far as some of the people here and boycott their games. This is a shit show but at the very least we should be giving people a chance to redeem themselves. There is no history of this stuff with these guys , they made a mistake and a very big one at that but people need to be given chances to change. These are human beings.
And then that higher up loaded up the AMA and instead of shutting it down, decided he was right at home and took part in it.This whole thing is
W I L D
someone at THQ: we should do an AMA
higherup: sure fine, you do those at reddit?
someone at THQ: theres an OPPORTUNITY to do one at 8chan
higherup: 8chan? wth is 8chan? Dont you do those at reddit?
someone at THQ: Normally yeah, but theres an OPPORTUNITY to do it at 8chan. Its a nice reddit like site
higherup: Ok sure. Get on it

I don't understand why people are so willing to tie themselves in knots to turn bullshit like this into some simple mistake rather then the deliberate choice of an adult who, at the very least, has no problem with white supremacy and pedophilia.I am not going to as far as some of the people here and boycott their games. This is a shit show but at the very least we should be giving people a chance to redeem themselves. There is no history of this stuff with these guys , they made a mistake and a very big one at that but people need to be given chances to change. These are human beings.
It really doesn't matter if it was intentional or not. They did normalize and support child pedophilia and they very clearly don't really regret it.I understand where you are coming from and I agree to an extent. This excuse that the PR guy didnt know what 8Chan was is ridiculous. He is in PR. I dont think they intended to normalize pedophilia or child abuse though imo.

So, a few things:
1. I am don't know who THQN_Fabian - Would like to know who this person is
2. To those who are saying people are over-reacting- I am going through the actual AMA (it's truly something else). The THQ people have been answering questions and sandwiched between the queries and their replies (setting aside the quality of responses themselves) are stuff like "DO YOU HATE NIGGERS? BECAUSE I DO.", "RESETERA ON SUICIDE WATCH GET FUCKED, NIGGERS" and myriad reference to "SJW", Nazi and lolis. Suffice it to say, these people from THQN can clearly ALL THESE and DESPITE that, ALL of THAT, they continued to engage with these people.
I earlier said that they made a massive error. Now, I think they are catastrophically apathetic at the least and stupid at best and sympathetic towards the ideals of 8chan board members if not covertly bigoted at worst.
So, knowing these, if you still think or feel that people here are "Overreacting" you can kindly get the fucked.
This shit pisses me off so much. They lie and lie about not knowing the content of 8chan, after they fucking joined in with the hate speech.
joins is pressing nuke button

This is just the first topic I've ever had a reason to comment on. Feels like the company is getting too bad a rap from a single publicity stunt.
