Thank You for taking the time to do this. Just so this can be as informative as possible, as Nappael pointed out, this is likely Fabian Neubauer. They were Darksiders 3's Junior Social Media Manager. That is, unless you intentionally excluded this as its not set in stone. In which case, ignore this post.
You're right. These are way too dangerous of subjects to risk associating with a potentially innocent individual.While likely, I would actually prefer this information to not be included. I'm almost definite, but don't want too much attention to be driven to it just in case it ends up being wrong and the guy suffers.
It took twitter years to ban Jacob Wohl. And they only did it today on account of him admitting to using fake accounts and announcing his plans to use fake accounts to influence the 2020 election. It is VERY hard to get banned from twitter because the higher ups are apathetic morons.So like, can the THQ Nordic Twitter get banned for linking to what is essentially a child porn site? Or is that asking too much of Twitter mods?
No, I just hadn't seen it, updated now.
I also added the CEO and developer comments as suggested by m_dorian and LewieP suggested.
As well, I missed the call with Reinhard from the Waypoint article, so I added that. It comes across as if both Reinhard and the CEO seem to be throwing Philipp under the bus here. Reinhard was posting in 8chan as well and he's on the board, so I don't think he should be getting away with it.

I see Boogie saw an opportunity to try to make something about himself, and took it.
It really doesn't.
Yeah, but dude almost always does the "both sides" everything, and I mean everything, so seeing him actually saying "you fucked up" without any reservations should be a sign that you, y'know, fucked up.
/s
Raising a stink like we already do is good, I think. Like many has been pointing, I doubt Nicklodeon, or other THQ businesses partner are happy to be associated with this fiasco. So maybe put the pressure on them, rather than the unfortunate dev stuck under shitty publisher.I don't want to punish people who had nothing to do with this decision but this is too much of a big deal to ignore.
How else will THQ learn they seriously fucked up if we continue to give them money?
Reinhard Pollice (Director of business and production development) and Phillip Brock (head of PR & Marketing) is pretty high up the chain.
This dude is part of THQ Nordic's Board and Management: http://www.thqnordic-investors.com/en/board-and-management/
Just to repeat: One of the 7 members of THQ Nordic's Board and Management team just said that a meme captioned "Cease Your Faggotry" could be from one of their upcoming games.
Yeah, definitely seems like this goes way too far up the chain. It's not just some random people, but very high-ranking people in the company that are responsible for this. It would be terrible enough if it were some random employee doing it, but people like that being the one's responsible? Definitely going to take more than a few apologies to make this go away, as it should (or at least I certainly would hope it would take more than that to just make this all magically go away).It wasn't just some PR guy.
It had the backing and active engagement of at least 3 important people, including their head of PR and marketing (Phillipp Brock), and one of their board members (Reinhard Pollice). Reinhard Pollice being literally one of the most powerful people at the company. http://www.thqnordic-investors.com/en/board-and-management/
Check out this twitter thread. It touches on that same thought:
"I had what alcoholics refer to as 'a moment of clarity.'"
This isn't a CDPR situation at all. That was one idiot PR guy who was fired straight after, this was multiple important people in the company. Including their head of PR and marketing (Phillipp), and one of their senior executives and major shareholders (Reinhard) who is one of the top dogs at the company.The only thing I can think of is that "extremely online" people are impressive somehow in gaming PR job interviews and so are given jobs only to have their fucked up views come seeping out (CD Project Red)
Ok wow I didn't know all the details this shit is even more batshit than I realised.This isn't a CDPR situation at all. That was one idiot PR guy who was fired straight after, this was multiple important people in the company. Including their head of PR and marketing (Phillipp), and one of their senior executives and major shareholders (Reinhard) who is one of the top dogs at the company.
The direct link to a board hosting child pornography is still there 8 hours later, even after statements from THQ, including a non-statement from CEO Lars Wingefors himself. Nobody is doing anything about it.
