This is serious bullshit. Dozens of people are dead. Fuck off with your "but mah games" and "but the devs" nonsensical crap.
Oh so even though I flat out made my stance on this very clear a few pages ago (being VERY against this whole thing and still pissed nobody seems to care about the situation due to how reactionary YTers ignored this but bitched about anthem for the thousandth time) because I actually worry about the developers who have zero to do with the shitty higherups and PR group, I'm somehow bad for not wanting the smaller companies THQ bought in their massive tidal wave of purchases to be blocked from discussion in case someone wants to enjoy whatever new indie game they just so happen to publish only at retail? (Ori is published by Microsoft digitally but by THQN physically, as one example) I'm pissed about the whole thing as well and THQ are fucking responsible for pandering to the hellhole group of 8chan and not backing down because of it.
I'm fucking pissed about this whole thing as well,
believe me, but I think it's an absurd overreaction to just flat out mute any discussion remotely related to the entire chain of companies that THQN has bought in hordes. There's a reason why the mods haven't done what people are suggesting, and that's because it's absurd, even though I certainly won't buy anything with THQN's label on it after this, I'll try to buy games from some of the devs they work with like Black Forest directly from them, to support people who aren't shitheads. And I also think that every thread announcing a THQ game or mentioning it should have a very big reminder of this shitfest so people know what their morals are and to not have anything to do with them.
This also reenforces some points people have made about how people need to contact folks like Nick and such that they license stuff from ASAP, since I certainly don't think Nick wants to be associated with these awful people nor any other devs they may try to acquire or license stuff from, and they need to be aware of what they're responsible for
how about knock this
"but the devs" shit out. There is pretty easy out for THQ if they want it
Of course THQ can easily fix this, I'm not denying that and just a few pages ago I mentioned how fucking stupid it is that they just are sitting around doing nothing but hoping it would blow over. but that doesn't mean the people who they bought and have zero involvement and are as pissed as all of us should be punished too and even followups with some devs that THQ have bought prove that they are equally pissed and uncertain about their future due to being associated with a bad company with awful values.
let's get something straight. the only people punishing the devs are thq nordic.
10000000% agreed. They basically damaged and ruined the careers/reputation of tons of devs they bought under their wing, and that's another thing I've been pissed at since this whole thing broke out. That's just one of dozens of reasons why this whole disaster shouldn't be forgotten or let go of in any way shape or form.
