Eh, I'm willing to bet those fans didn't know about their link with 8chan

Shows that the main public does not care (and probably doesn't even know) about the 8chan stuff. Sigh.

I guess it makes sense given the criteria were the games shown and normal Gamescom visitors don't really care/know for that 8chan stuff.

Clearly, they did not receive the memo about seeing the STAFF POST.

Also, this is what Gamer culture looks like. Perhaps THQN will release an official self congratulatory statement on the other forum and Stormfront.

Encore for boogie getting that TGA award.

Not surprising. It's hard to tell people about questionable practices by anyone in the first place (though you'd think people who are involved enough to vote in Gamescom rankings would hear SOMETHING) but gamers are not exactly an empathetic lot

Makes sense, they've done a lot and have made a lot of big moves this year, buying studios, announcing a ton of games. They have a lot of great stuff to be hype about coming up.

I mean, look at all the people in this thread who's first instinct was to grab popcorn for the lulz instead of give a damn. Everything wrong with the world right now.

At least the first 2 pages of replies will be almost exclusively filled with comments talking about how they anticipate what other replies will be. Mine being an meta example of this.

Why am I not surprised that enough people already forgot that they hold an AMA on a website that cheers terrorists,
while nothing changed afterwards?

This doesn't surprise me, Era is pretty much the only place that's still actively talking about it and has disclaimers in related thread.

You might see the odd tweet under anything they post on twitter or on YT, but most people have moved on.

Came for this, not disappointed.

THQN is a great cautionary tale that honestly, you shouldn't care about backlash because gamers will eat up whatever you serve them anyway.
Okay, that's not a cautionary tale.

Exactly.
