I visited to see how much of a disaster this was.

Don't visit. Take my word for it, complete disaster, no questions where answered, half of the threads are hating on Era (lol, Era envy), tons of draws and pics that aren't making me feel too great inside, a little queasy actually. Couldn't even see the answers from THQ or figure out what question they were answering. Christ, this place is 4chan with no filters or class. Yes that bad.

Spoiler pic any screengrabs people, please. Not everyone can visit these places and let it roll off them. Better yet, no screengrabs.

I checked the responses and found this:


Falconbox. That name sounds extremely familiar. Wasn't he on Era?


Besides the whole "oh so he's cool with CP" bit the analogy is also disingenuous as shit. It only works if literally every subreddit was of the same tier as KiA and the_donald, and even then they're not neck-deep in CP.

Well, one less company that I will ever buy from. Not like they have put out any interesting games anyway. I honestly hope these scumbags go out of business. Complete human filth. Say what you will about the EA'S or Activision's of the world or their business practices. They don't go promoting themselves on child porn sharing sites.

LMFAO. They're literally torpedoing a massively growing company to...what? Stick it to the libs? Are you fucking insane? And on a website so fucked GOOGLE won't list them? Holy shit, why?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills if era allows child porn advocates and gamergaters. What is happening.

Seriously, what in the actual fuckery?! I'm not going to even get into gamers gate, simply the fact they want to be associated with a place that allows child porn openly on their site should be enough to steer clear of that site!

I'm baffled by this kind of responses trying to tone down the situation excusing it by saying "you can find shitty people like that all over the internet, no matter the place". Like, excuse me, what the fuck? I know places like Twitter, GAF and Reddit also host some extremist groups, but at least there is some sort of moderation and cleaning in place, as minimal as it may be.

There are people who would rather take the "yeah, so what? Resetera(Old Neogaf) is just as bad" road where they don't like people being "SJW"s instead of thinking for a few seconds and realise that maybe, just maybe a website that hosts (or hosted? I dunno) illegal material miiiiight just be a bit worse than the website that will ban you for saying slurs.

It's such a bad move by their PR team and how the company behind this decision is mind boggling. Isn't Deep Silver publishing games like Shenmue 3? I feel bad for the publishers/devs attached to their name. They can't be too happy about this right now.

Yeah it's a terrible comparison. I mean what the heck how are we even CLOSE to THAT cesspool?

So who is the pedo at this company? This is too specific of a direction and target to be an accident.

Time to so some surgery, THQ. Until someone is publicly held responsible for this I will never consider purchasing anything even tangentially related to them.

It feels like the industry isn't reacting strongly enough to this. Maybe it's because everyone is still in complete shock.

I hope none of you actually visit that site. You will literally end up on your ISP's watch list.

So, if we're assuming this is real (which is highly likely by this point) this is very much a calculated attempt to position themselves as "We're gonna be that crazy, random, no holds barred, for the lulz" publisher. The PewDiePie of game publishers. Just waiting for the "fuck (mainstream / gaming) media, whatever lol" followup.

It's ... a strategy ... i guess.

I can't imagine the level of negligence and unawareness it would take for a company to unknowningly agree to an event on a website that is unlisted by Google, post on the website while the page they're visiting advertises to pedophiles without taking notice, talk to the owner about toning down the website without thinking to ask what it is they need to done down. Unless THQ Nordic has perfected the cloning process using Mr. Magoo as a basis, there's basically no chance for this not to have been caught somewhere.

Or, you know, they went in knowingly.
